Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in everybody. Thursday edition of The Klay Travis en
Buck Sexton Show gets going right now and got a lot.
First of all, the October surprise from the Democrats has
been unleash. We have Jack Smith's filing in response to
(00:21):
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Womp, womp. Nobody cares play right. I agree with you
one hundred percent. I was at my eighth grader's football
game when everybody starts engaging in history onics over this.
Nobody cares about this at all. I mean, I know
the media is going to try to make it an issue,
zero zero zero care.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I honestly think that this is not even a top
This has now turned into not even a top ten
issue overall. I think the whole thing has been played
out and absurd. Look the media, very they're the people
that care about it. They're all hoping that this will
salvage Kamala's campaign somehow, like dude, the insurrection, Remember you
(01:03):
have to say it like that, the insurrection. But I
think that Clay, we'll talk a little bit about it.
We got Julie Kelly in third hour. We'll dive into
it with her.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Nothing new and that was I would look as I
was doing drinking my crocket coffee this morning, watching Morning Joe,
as is my habit. As I'm getting ready to read
in the for the radio show, and they're like, oh, can.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You imagine the Jack Smith report. I'm sitting here, I'm like,
nobody cares. So let's just put this aside. We're aware,
We'll dive into it, we'll dissect it. We're not going
to avoid it. But I mean, you know, it's a
nothing burger that we have to cook. But we got
more important things to do, so we will do that also.
And that brings me to the most important issue today,
which is what's going on in North Carolina and the
(01:47):
surrounding areas of states like eastern Tennessee, parts of Georgia
that have just been so badly hit by Hurricane Helene.
To third hour, we'll have former NFL player Jack Brewer
on those hurricane relief efforts. But not only do we
have to update you all on what's going on with
the hurricane aftermath, which it's now clear this is one
(02:10):
of the most devastating hurricanes that has made landfall in
the United States in years. The death toll is high
and going higher, but the relief efforts at this point.
It is it is I think very clear the relief
efforts at the federal level, FEMA specifically, not only insufficient,
(02:33):
but there are things going on that are enraging people.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Clay.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
There are local efforts that involve people who just have
air assets. Some people, Oh, you know, I drive, you know, flyhealth, drive,
fly a helicopter. I can get my boat to the area.
Whatever it may be. They're being turned away, they're being stopped,
they're being told no, you can't. Supplies are all being
(02:59):
consolidated in Asheville, North Carolina, the main city in this area. Again,
I've got family that was hit badly by this hurricane.
As we talked about ur in the week, so spent
some time in Ashville play. This is a moment where
we're not trying to tie something into politics. Politics and
the hurricane have now smashed into each other because they
(03:22):
have had to admit and it is almost hard to
say this out loud, and this is from majorcas the
head of DHS, that they don't have enough money to
get through this hurricane season. They don't have enough money.
FEMA doesn't have enough money on hand and resources on
hand to handle this right now, and that comes at
(03:45):
a time when not only clay have they spent Lord
knows how many billions of dollars on illegal migrants comforts,
you know, paying for hotels, paying for culturally sensitive meals,
paying for you know, English is a second language, train whatever.
They've also shown now that there have been funds allocated
(04:06):
from FEMA, moved temporarily, but moved to deal with the
migrant crisis, and people are absolutely outraged. Kamala Harris, play,
let's just play. This is cut one that you can
tell me what you're seeing here. Kamala Harris coming out
in Georgia to tell everybody, Oh, don't worry, some of
(04:27):
you will get seven hundred and fifty dollars. Play one.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
The federal relief and assistance that we have been providing
has included on FEMA providing seven hundred and fifty dollars
for folks who need immediate needs being met.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Play. This isn't now. This is an outrage and a
slap in the face to Americans who are in a
very tough spot right now.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, and let me say this. I'm going to be
in East Tennessee next weekend and maybe the weekend after
because I'm go cover college football for what we do
at OutKick, And there's a Florida Tennessee game for those
of you who not familiar, on October twelfth, and then
it looks like there's going to be a big Alabama
Tennessee game on October nineteenth. So let me say this.
(05:12):
I texted producer Ali this earlier. I'm not well versed
in every affiliate station that we have. We have five
hundred of them all over the nation, and I also
don't know how many of them are struggling right now
given their locations. Buck you and I went down to
the Florida area to our listeners in the Fort Myers
(05:36):
Naples area. The station that we broadcast from was completely flooded.
We couldn't get down there for some time because they
had standing water. Even when we went back down I
think it was last year, they were still recovering. They
had to strip out basically everything from the studio. We
love everybody down there. We went and did an event.
(05:56):
So let me say this, and you guys may be
able to listen in East Tennessee and western North Carolina,
North Georgia, all that area. I would like to broadcast
from a station in that area if I'm not getting
in the way, and if you have the ability to
host me, and I would like to help to raise
whatever funds or awareness or materials that we could help
(06:20):
for on this show. I'm already going to be in
East Tennessee. If you would reach out and figure out
if I can come to your station, if I can
help in that area, I would like to be a
small part of helping.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I also understand sometimes, and this is a challenge, we
don't help by coming in because there's so much going
on and it's so chaotic, and you just kind of
cloud up and crowd up what's going on there. But
I do think there are places in East Tennessee where
our signal is strong and where we have stations, Western
North Carolina, Northern Georgia, wherever it is, we want to
(06:56):
be there to help because but the story right now
is good, hardworking, reasonable Americans in those areas are doing
far more to help than the federal government is. And
it's not even close.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's even worse than that. Yeah, it's worse than that
because the federal government is incredibly slow. There's a sense
of the lethargic here in this particular and a lot
of people are looking at it and saying, hmm, what
part of the country is this?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I think you have to put it into politics here.
Let me just say it out loud. I think if
this were a blue area that was overwhelmingly voting for Kamala,
the federal government response would have been far different than
what it has been. I think you can even argue,
given Georgia and North Carolina are battlegrounds that the Kamala
Biden administration benefits by responding slowly here because it makes
(07:50):
it less likely those people can vote. Because let's be honest,
if you're worried about survival, you're not thinking about voting.
And these are overwhelmingly read areas about ground states, they
would be getting the golden illegal immigrant treatment, I think
buck if they were Blue voters.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah. So there's also federal government getting in the way
of the local efforts that we mentioned, which this is
where people, you know, this is where people really start
to lose their minds, understandably. So this is look Florida
because Ron DeSantis is a very competent governor, far more
competent than Cooper of North Carolina. Florida has set and
(08:31):
obviously very good in a hurricane and Florida very good
in a hurricane. That's not news to anybody, Like this
is a state that prepares for tremendously. You know, Montana
and Minnesota handle snow, Florida handles hurricanes. They've sent up
relief efforts, and here you have a Florida State guardsman.
This is cut to Jonathan Howard, who is just ripping
(08:52):
the hurricane response from the government side. Play two.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
I'm gonna tell you everything that is happening from the
ground one actually seeing, because what they're telling you is
complete bulls on the news and these politicians don't have
to including their line. Yesterday, me and my team did
the rescue of that eleven day year old baby, and
all these government officials and social media they're showing that video,
that pictures and video of that rescue and claiming that
(09:19):
like they have some like government helped with that. No,
it was me and my buddy Charlie and a civilian
named zeb with his own personal helicopter out of Wilmston,
North Carolina. Like without that civilian, that baby would be dead.
And the old lady we went and rescued after that,
she'd be dead too, because she had one day left
of oxygen, no one was going to go get them.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Not only is the so again it's insufficient, federal response
too slow, lack of urgency, lack of planning and coordination.
They are getting in the way of local efforts. I'm reading,
and look, it's tough to verify all this, and if
anything that I say, we get contrary reports. But I'm
reading that they're not allowing civilians to fly drones, you know,
(10:02):
little drones that have cameras on them to try to
find people. They've told people that have air assets, whether
a propeller plane or a helo, a rotary wing, that
they can't get up in the air space, that they
won't let people who have supplies get through roadblocks. What
are these people, what are these Feds doing.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's a disaster, obviously, the disaster of the flooding itself,
but the federal government response. Buck It's a week. It's
been a week now since this happened, and there are
still people basically with no supplies, unreachable, unable to get
any help at all, and the federal government is actually
(10:45):
making it harder for good people in this area to
be able to help respond to people in desperate need.
It's just it's indefensible. And again, you're right, and I
think it's so important to tie this in. FEMA says
they're out of money because FEMA money has been going
to all the illegal immigrants coming into our country. And
(11:05):
this is a perfect distillation of America. Last I don't
know if you've seen on social media people have been
putting Tennessee and North Carolina as if it was Ukraine
on the map instead of Tennessee and North Carolina and saying, hey,
maybe then the federal government would care. As we've spent
whatever it is, two hundred billion dollars plus on Ukraine
(11:30):
and making sure that the people there are okay, we
can't take care of the actual people in our own
backyard that need the support and the help the most.
And again, I think the analogy with Katrina ties into
I mean, think about how the media covered George W.
Bush over Katrina. This is it seems to me Buck
(11:50):
a bigger failure than Katrina, because Katrina at least was
located in one particular area. Was awful, but it was
easier or to manage in some ways because it was
right there, and the government got ripped to shreds they're
not even getting to the people in need yet.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
It also it feels it stings, particularly because the Biden administration,
which isn't really even the Biden administration. It's just sort
of this Democrat apparatus that functions irrespective of having no
real leadership. We know Joe Biden's not really running the
country in any meaningful way. We know that he hasn't
been for years. Kamala Harris is not a leader, is
(12:30):
not a coordinator, is not a not a logistics capable individual.
So who is really overseeing this response? Mayorcis is a
clown who has overseen the worst border in the history
of the United States, the biggest infiltration of immigration fraud
through a whole range of means in the history of
this country, and majorcas through FEMA. Is now directing this
(12:54):
whole thing. Clay to tell people that there's any problem
with FEMA funding, never mind the actual usage of that funding,
because you had to give it to migrants. You sit there,
This isn't like, you know, we raided the I don't know,
the highway fund or something a couple of year years early,
(13:14):
and we're going to put the money back. These are
emergency funds that were meant for the American people, and
you've reallocated some of them because you want to deal
with foreigners who were showing up to pillage our system,
you know. I mean, imagine if you haven't eaten in
three or four or whatever it is now a week.
Imagine if you haven't eaten in almost a week because
(13:35):
no one can get to you when you run out
of food, and it's because migrants needed more resources. I
don't you know. To me, this should be the end
of the Kamal campaign. I mean, this one issue alone
should be enough that everyone's like, this is crazy, but
we live in a crazy country, at least half of it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think we also should talk about when we come back.
This area has not had a flood like this in
one hundred years. I think it was since nineteen sixteen,
So I think a lot of people in no living
memory has this occurred. So for people who are living there,
sometimes things happen and you can be somewhat prepared that
they might occur. This had never happened in living memory
(14:15):
for anyone here. I can talk about this from my
own experience in Nashville, which had a five hundred year
flood recently. There were places that nobody even knew could
flood that got flooded. Buck And I think that's important
about this disaster. A lot of people in Florida have
things set up, you have your hurricane prepared in this everything.
I don't know that anybody in these regions really understood
(14:36):
that this could even happen. It was such an out
of the ordinary, truly extraordinary weather event that no one
in living memory had any sort of preparation for it.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Also, if you have any insights on particularly their response
and what's going on, if you're involved in it, or
if you are in the area of this disaster, of
Helene lines are open eight hundred two A two two

first introduced the iPhone, it was in very high demand,
and more than a dozen years later, it still is.
(15:09):
So much so that cell phone companies like to bundle
the cost of a new phone with a long term plan,
making it a peer almost paid for. But Puretalk doesn't
do that. They offer great savings on the new iPhone
sixteen and you can still get an affordable cell phone
plan that fits your data needs. Puretalk provides their cell
phone service on America's most dependable five G network. I
(15:30):
know because I'm using the latest iPhone sixteen from Puretalk
with pure Talk service. Just pay twenty five dollars a
month and get unlimited talk text and five gigs of data,
which is more than enough, plus mobile hotspot from pure Talk.
Then you decide whether you want to buy a new
iPhone sixteen with great savings from Puretalk. All you got
to do to make the switch dial pound two five zero.
(15:52):
Say the keywords Clay and Buck. That's pound two five
zero say Clay and Buck. Puretalk's US customer service team
will make switching easy, no contract, no activation fee. Dial
pound two five zero say Clay and Bucks. Save an

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show covering North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia,
South Carolina. The disaster that has taken place in all
four of those states, joined now by the Governor of Georgia,
Brian Kemp. I know you have been touring northern Georgia
where much of this problem these problems have occurred. What
have you seen on the ground, Thanks for joining us
(16:42):
first of all, Governor, and what needs to be happening
that's not happening right now?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Well thanks having me on clay. First, Lady Marty Kemp
and I have been on the ground really since Saturday.
We were in Valdosta, Georgia, down there the Florida County
line on Saturday. We went to Augusta Monday and then
had to get back to Atlanta for a few things,
and then Tuesday we were back down on the ground
in Nashville, Georgia, which is Berrying County, which is in
(17:10):
the really southern part of our state. And we kind
of worked our way through seven or eight counties over
two days up to just right outside Augusta last night.
So we've been anywhere and everywhere. And I mean, this
is one devastating storm. It was incredible. I think Georgia
Power previously their worst storm ever, they had to repair
seventeen hundred poles. In this storm they have over eight thousand,
(17:34):
So that gives you an idea of the really the
width of the windshield on the storm. One of the
biggest in the Atlantic. Even though it did not end
up being a CAP five, it's still one of the
biggest hurricanes to come out of the Gulf. And you know,
the only stayed in Florida for a little while and
then hit US went all the way across our state
and obviously went on open South Carolina, North Carolina, and
Tennessee parts of Alabama. But it was devastating for us.
(17:58):
I mean, it's bad everywhere we went. But it's amazing
how many people we have responding. We've got over twenty
thousand utility workers in the state right now. We visited
with over a thousand of them yesterday morning at their
base camp. We have two thousand Georgia National Guard called up.
We'll probably have you know, all of those people working
(18:21):
by some time tomorrow. I know we've got sixteen or
seventeen hundred on the ground today. So we're getting supplies
to people, We're getting power turned back on and getting
people at least back to having some comfort in their lives.
But it has been one massive storm we're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Governor Camp, it's back. Thanks for being with us. We
know you're a call like you see a guy the
federal response basically a weekend. Now, what can you tell
us about it? Is it lacking? Is it getting better?
What's the truth?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Well, thanks Buck. You know, look from the FEDES perspective
for us, I mean we did an Earth least state
of emergency like Governor the Santas did, so we were
able to prepare with state assets, have all of our
partners in the State Operations Center before the storm hit,
you know, have people on point called up ready to go,
whether it was the you know, Department of Transportation, chainsaw
(19:18):
strike teams, Apartment Natural Resources chainsaw strike teams, the Georgia
Forestry Commission bulldoze or chainsaws, and having the guard teams
ready to go heavy you know, teams that can move
heavy equipment, do water swift, water rescue, you know, all
that kind of stuff that you may need in a
storm like this. We were able to have prepared and
(19:39):
ready to go, so we weren't really waiting around on
FEMA and we haven't this whole storm, so I wouldn't
really have a whole lot to say about, you know,
what they've been doing. Other than the original emergency declaration
they did. There was only eleven counties, which a lot
of people were upset about that, including me. I was
hearing from a lot of people by that. I talked
(20:00):
to the White House and the Theme Administrator, and shortly
thereafter they added thirty counties to that list, and we're
continuing to push them to do more.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Look, there are a lot of people of all different
political persuasions affected by this storm in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
South Carolina. You've seen a lot of it in Georgia.
We hear and are hearing from a lot of our
listeners in all four of those states that the federal
response frankly has been disastrous and that they're not seeing
very much help. And we know that some people are
(20:31):
starting to get signals now they're listening to us on
battery power radios. Is Joe Biden, in your experience, responsive,
Is Kamala Harris who is heading this up for them?
Do you think they understand the scale and magnitude of
how awful this storm has been and do you think
they're responding in a way that justifies the magnitude and
(20:53):
awfulness of this storm.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Well, I wouldn't be able to speak to other states, guys,
as you know, have been focused on my own man,
We've got much damage in some ways as any of
the other states. You know, obviously North Carolina is dealing
with tragic situations with literally hundreds of people that they
know is missing, and you know, not being on the ground,
not knowing the response so far, and who's been doing
(21:16):
what From a federal and state perspective, I wouldn't want
to speculate on that. I can just tell you that
from our perspective, we were ready to go before the
storm hit. The concerns that we've had that we relate
to female even though we were frustrated with only the
eleven initial counties. You know, they they heard loud and
clear where we were, and you know, I just told them,
(21:37):
you know my opinion. I said, y'all are sending a
signal of mitsed messages here and people on the ground
feel like they're not being paid attention to. They feel invisible,
and you know that's a that's a problem for the response,
and it's a problem from you all. But you know
they did act when we said something to them about that.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
When you look at at all the devastation in Georgia
and elsewhere, we got so many people out there listening
to us in all fifty states that are saying what
can we do? You know, good American spirit uplift? What
would you tell people out there that are seeing what
has happened to this region and seeing how many people
are devastated? What can people from outside the region do?
And also in your home state of Georgia, what can
(22:20):
people do to help everybody that's affected? What would you
ask them to do?
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Well, I'll tell you we've seen so many heartbreaking and
heartwarming things on the ground. I mean talking to first
responders that had to respond to twenty seven year old
mother that had was in the bed with her two
one month old twin boys in a tree fell on
them and killed all three of them. You know, talking
to those people that had to respond and extricate those individuals.
(22:46):
I mean, that is some really tough work, guys. I
mean is just heartbreaking for our first responders. And there's
been several instances like that, So, you know, people that
want to help, I would be given to nonprofits that
you know, are organizations that support our first responders, men
and women in law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
There's also a.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Lot of the faith based community that's responding. There's a
little Videol church in Kite, Georgia, which is in Johnson County.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
You know, the.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Feeding forward to five hundred people a day, just trying
to keep people fed through this, I think going to
faith based organizations that you know and trust. They know
how to filter money to states like ours and South
Carolina and North Carolina to help people in need. And
then you know, certainly we've got the Red Cross Salvation
Army of people like that that are on the ground
in Georgia and many of these other states as well.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Governor Campa, Georgia, appreciate you making the time for us.
God bless, I know you're taking care of a lot
of folks in your state right now where our thoughts
are with you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Hey, thanks guys, God bless.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oklay you know there you have it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I mean, this is some states taking a lot of
action here, but we all you want to get to
do that extent. Yeah, let's go to our call in
western North Carolina. We appreciate the governor making time to
come on and tell you what he's seeing on the
ground directly in Georgia. But we had a caller right
as we went to break that was telling us about
what he had seen on the ground in western North Carolina.
(24:12):
You just now got communication back. You're listening to us.
What was the storm?
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Like?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
What did you see then?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
What have you seen since?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Yeah? Thanks Clay, was it was incredible. I've spent twenty
almost twenty years in law enforcement here locally, and we've unfortunately,
we've we've lived through a couple of these onms that
have CAUs quite a bit of damage and flooding here.
So here in this county, in Haywood, we're pretty used
to getting prepared. And I will say the emergency management
(24:44):
here in this county and really cross west North Carolina
did a great job get in front of this, letting
people know about what was coming, what they needed to do,
how they needed to prepare evacuations. But I don't think
anything could have prepared any of us for what we seen. Uh. Myself,
I live on a hill, so I was very, very
fortunate as far as flooding goes. But I've got family
(25:06):
that they've been They they up until yesterday, have been
trapped uh in their little cove that they they lived
in road. The road became the creek. Uh and uh
so you know, getting resources to them daily, trying to
get them food, get them gas or their generators. You know,
those stories are about these mountains and you've both been here,
(25:28):
you know, you see and in East Tennessee all these
coves and and these creeks that are they're beautiful, but
they're one way in, one one way out, and when
that's cut off, you know, you can't get to them.
And that that's the biggest issue. I think. The other
issue is communication.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Cellphone service went down completely for probably about forty eight
forty eight hours, give or take, and it's still coming
back online slowly. But as you can imagine, if you
can't call nine one one and ask for help, nobody
knows you need help. Yeah, and that's not just for
flood those experience and flooding. That's just day to day
(26:05):
emergency medical emergencies that people have. So those are stories
we're gonna know and hear about probably as the weeks
go and come, and we'll find out about. But uh,
one of the bigger issues has been a communication and
it's been at all all sale service has been cut
(26:25):
off here really for several days. And it was you
were going to that door to door, you were physically
going to people and checking on them. I spent Saturday
and several friends just pump checking on people that we
knew may need help or just to make sure they
were okay. And uh, that's that's across the bord. There's
been so much of that that's gone on here here
(26:47):
since the flood happened.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So I gotta tell you, thank you for the call, Tyler,
and thank you for listening. These are some of the
best people in the world. I mean you're talking about
I spent a lot of time around this crew obviously
East Tennessee, Uh, Georgia. You're just hearing from, I mean,
just good hearted, helpful, incredibly generous people. And I think
what Tyler is telling is actually going to end up
(27:10):
being the primary story here.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
You can't rely on the government, and I'm disgusted that
I have to say that, but ultimately, I think what
you're gonna find in these states, in this storm, in
this region is only hand. You can rely on, the
one at the end of your sleeve, and you got
to help your neighbor up yourself, and you've got to
be out there doing everything that you can. I think
what Tyler's telling us people going knocking on doors, buck,
(27:33):
I mean ain't nobody coming to save you all?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I mean, also are people all of you tend to
be far more prepared for emergency on average than just
you know, the run of the mill American. I mean,
let's just be honest, and we tend to have just
people that you know, have you know, keep food on hand,
keep you know, keep firearms and ammunition on hand to
(27:57):
defend themselves. Keep you know, comms, radios whatever they whatever
you need, you know, am radio by the way, on hand,
battery powered, and and you know, I think if you
had told people if you lived in Western you know,
if you live in Appalachia, you said I'm ready for
the floods whenever they come, people would have set off.
Well you know that's well, now we know you just
(28:17):
got to be prepared in advance. There are just some
things you got to have on hand. And it is
it is your neighbors who will be whatever the disaster is,
it is good neighbors who will be able to get
to you first. That's the truth, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
And buck this transitions perfectly into rapid radios. Your sister
in law is in the Asheville area. You just heard
from Tyler. All the cell phones were down. Tell people
what happened. So here, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Rapid radios runs off of all if there's any cell
company that is up, it'll use that. And they actually
have a really interesting explanation of this up on the site.
But also you have instantaneous communication and you don't have
to worry about cell towers getting overloaded. And they were
using it on what Saturday, I think after the Friday
(29:06):
was a hurricane. On Saturday, they were communicating the rapid
radios within the family and it just made everything so
much easier. And I've just I just had a bunch
of them sent to my family in New York. Every
member of my family is now to one of you
have a set of these in their home and have
it linked up. Because because Laura and Carrie were actually
talking over over the rapid radios as well. Yeah, my wife,
(29:27):
we got the rapid radios at the house. She wanted
to test and see how far the radio signal would work,
and she actually picked it up and started talking. Ended
up talking to your father in law and then Carrie,
your wife in Miami. So you had North Carolina, South Florida, Nashville, Tennessee,
all on the same network. If you got friends and family,
you just picked this thing up, you start talking. Yeah,
(29:49):
Laura was like she didn't even know who she was
talking to. She just picked it up. She was trying
to test it. Next thing you know, she's talking with
your wife, with your father in law and that family
circuit because our circuit were connected on rapid radios. Look,
there's a lot of things you need, but we're telling
you exactly what happened related to these radios with so
much going on. Buck, My understanding is this rapid radio
(30:12):
thing has been absolutely just so many people trying to
buy these things now because they're not everyone.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Everyone should have it. Every member of my family is
having this in there, it has it. I'm glad Carry's
family did has this in their home. This is just
a must have at home.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Welcome back in everyone. Jack Brewer joins now former NFL
player and a federal commissioner. He's also chairman of the
Jack Brewer Foundation, which is involved in disaster and medical
relief missions. Jack, thanks for being with us. Just want
to hand you the floor. What are you hearing? What
are you up to? How are you helping?
Speaker 9 (31:37):
No, thanks so much, guys, It's honored to be on
with you. We are in Florida and we have been
helping a number of different areas, primarily in Levoc County,
which is Yankeetown, as well as Taylor County which is
steam Hot Tatchy, as well as Keaton Beach. And these
areas have just been devastated. I know we've all seen
(31:59):
on the news, and many of the places in North
Carolina are getting so much attention, which they deserve, But
there are areas of Florida right now that are just
as devastated. I mean, homes that have been completely knocked down.
These small towns have taken on over twenty foot of
storm surge, and even the homes that you see that
are still standing, most of them took on eight to
(32:22):
ten feet of water, and so everything in them. They
have to bring them out. And these aren't wealthy areas.
These are places where, you know, Americans were already you know,
dealing with massive inflation, They're already you know, dealing with
the realities at the gas pump and having them make
those life testyle changes. Many didn't have insurance. It's difficult
to get flood insurance in some of these areas, and
(32:43):
so that now they're just left, They're left out in
the cold with nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You know.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
I've been on the ground since this storm was over,
and I don't think I've seen a single federal agency,
a FEMA truck or anyone out there yet. And we've
spent a lot of time on the ground. So it's
just a sad time right now in America. But I
tell you, you know, Floridians have been resilient. You know,
we met people from Wisconsin and Michigan and folks coming
(33:09):
over from Tennessee to help, and so that's been really empowering.
But there definitely needs to be more aid and support.
You know, Governor DeSantis has done an incredible job down
here getting all of these power lines back up. I mean,
it was over a million and a half people without
power in these areas, a lot of people, and so
you know, you'll go down the road and you may
(33:31):
see one hundred and fifty different trucks all working on
power lines across these counties. So it really is a
I've been working with murkk one who's been a big
supporter of ours and many of our relief missions. Glim
Back such a great man, and we're just trying to
continue to serve as much as we can.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Jack, Thank you so much for what you're doing. Your
perfect evidence of what Buck and I have been talking about.
The American people are much better than the American government
that we have unfortunately representing us right now, and it's
going to take a lot of individual efforts. We wanted
to get as many people on Jack. Thank you for
making the time, thank you for being flexible, and thank
you for everything that you're doing to try to help
so many people in need.
Speaker 9 (34:13):
Thanks so much, Clay, y'all got you guys, keep standing
for food Man.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
We're joined by Julie Kelly Declassified is her substack, which
you can subscribe to, you know, Julie just want to
say before we dive into the latest law fair Shenanigan's.
You know, we have spent really the entire show on
what we think is actually the most important story in
the country today. I know you agree, which is what's
(34:37):
going on in this aftermath of Helene and the relief efforts.
But we didn't want to leave it out there. You know,
we don't want anyone to say, oh, well, they're not
talking about the big Jack Smith bomb that was dropped.
You know, they're avoid So of course, you know we
will address this now, you know, I guess the first
(34:57):
way to do it. And just to be clear that
the demo crap media thinks it's the most important thing
in the whole country, right, I mean, they're far more important.
Clay and I were reading the headlines New York Times,
Washington post much more concerned with Jack Smith's latest thing
than what's going on in the you know, Carolinas, any
area is impacted by the hurricane. But okay, so they're
(35:18):
saying this, we have an election coming up, talk to us.
Anything new in this and what's why is this supposed
to be in October?
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Surprise because there isn't a lot new in here. A
lot of this has been sort of regurgitated from I
want to make sure my mic is on okay, good,
regurgitated from both the House impeachment against Donald Trump for
Jay six, and of course the Jay six House Committee report.
(35:47):
But what this does, and how I have described it,
is Jack Smith's opening arguments for a case that will
never make it to trial. This week, watered down and
in some instance is still unlawful. Four account indictment that
Jack Smith has against Donald Trump will never survive a
(36:07):
Supreme Court test again, both for immunity and the Fisher decision,
which is we've talked about fifteen twelve C. Two the
Supreme Court overturning how the DOJ has applied that post
and run statute. It represents two of the four counts
in this indictment. This is never going to trial even
if Donald Trump loses. So this is his opening argument.
(36:29):
Jack Smith is a partisan political hack, a former Obama,
a DOJ official, who also has been overturned by the
Supreme Court nine to nothing in the Robert Donald conviction.
And he's he's got a record of losing. So this
is his only opportunity to not just salvage this J
(36:52):
six case in the public square, but also try to
salvage the remaining shards of his decaying reputation. So that
is what we're seeing from what I call this dirty
dossier with the Steele dos Cia in twenty sixteen. Now
we've got Jack Smith dossier. But to your point, the
media has they are acting like it was Christmas Day yesterday.
(37:16):
Jake Tapper's on CNN, He's waving one hundred and sixty
five pages around. You've got the analysts there and the
commentators talking about how this will be a fatal blow
to Donald Trump's candidacy, that he will not win reelection
because of this issue. But again, it also gives cover
for the real scandals and the real crises, which is
of course the devastation, the apocalyptic images that are coming
(37:40):
out of North Carolina, and also the other crises that
we have, you know, war in the Middle East on
a few different fronts, and open southern border with criminal
migrants coming across into our country. So this is a
perfect cover for the media, the Democrats and the Harris
Walls ticket to pivot away from the real issues to
a again, this four hour disturbance almost now four years ago.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
You know, I love this, Julie, because I was out
watching eighth grade football last night. My phone blows up
with Oh my goodness, can you I thought, Oh, what's
going on here? I go look, and I'm like, this
story is not going to last twenty four hours. And
it's interesting. This story came out and Donald Trump today
actually in the betting markets, which I like to follow,
(38:25):
took the lead over Kamala. Harris so Buck and I
have been talking about New York Times, Washington Post. It's
their top four or five stories. Meanwhile, people are dying
in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina with the storm
that came through that Biden and Kamala can't seem to
respond to. But it landed, to use a phrase from
the Obama administration, really like a nothing burger. And then
(38:48):
they're going to desperately try to make it happen, and
then I'll tell you what's going to happen in.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Even the ardent left is not going to be fueling
the clicks and the ratings that they need, and it's
going to be over.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
And I can only imagine.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I think the last time we had you on Julie,
I was saying, I want a Jack Smith cam for
election night if Trump wins. This guy has spent years
of his life now trying to get Trump, and Trump
is actually gonna end up president of the United States. All
of his work is going to go up in smoke,
and he's basically his career's over.
Speaker 8 (39:20):
Yes, let's hope his career is over, and let's hope
that there is accountability because what this document Clay represents,
what he filed yesterday is the most brazen, egregious example
of DOJ interference, not just interference in a presidential campaign,
our presidential race, but doing using the full weight of
(39:41):
the Department of Justice, the most powerful law enforcement agency
in the country, to destroy Donald Trump's chances at winning. Now,
to your point, I don't think it is. I think
that this will sort of fade away except at CNN,
at MSNBC, in the Washington Post, in New York Times. Look,
you've got today Kamala Harris with Liz Cheney at an
(40:03):
event in Wisconsin. What are they going to talk about?
Not the issues that people of Wisconsin care about. They're
going to talk about this fake threat that Donald Trump
poses to democracy, whatever that means. How we almost you know,
ended our country, as Joe Biden calls it, we almost
lost everything, Joe Biden says about January sixth, And that
(40:24):
is what they will be talking about. That's all they've got.
And so but there's going to be more to come.
This is only the first hit out of this motion.
There also will be an appendix that will be unsealed
in the next probably week or so that will give
more witness testimony disclosing grand jury testimony FBI three to
(40:45):
O two. So they're going to keep piling on. Judge
Chuckkin is going to allow Jacksmith to do this and
really denying Donald Trump his due process rights. While this
is an opening argument on paper, if it was at truck,
Donald Trump would be allowed immediately to respond, cross examine witness,
et cetera. None of that is happening now. It is
(41:07):
not just election interference another DOJ, just disparagement of the
law of due process, the rule of law, and denial
of constitutional protections that we all have, including Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Speaking of Julie Kelly declassified as her substack where she
does a lot of great work on this issue, Julie.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
If Trump wins, I think we all know that this
goes away as it should if for some reason Heaven forbid,
but it could happen Kamala Harris becomes president. What do
you see as the future of the Jack Smith prosecution
based on what we now know the Supreme Court weighing
in Jack Smith's dirty dossier. Is it really just about
(41:53):
the election and the politics and the election interference or
do you really think that Jack Smith is going to
try to lot Donald Trump up if he loses.
Speaker 8 (42:04):
I think he will still try. I know we've been
talking about this for a few years since Jack Smith
was appointed now November of twenty twenty two. So if
Donald Trump loses, yes, they will continue the January sixth case.
It will never survive, as I said, the Supreme Court
where it will end up again because it will be
another immunity question. Will never survive and appeal on immunity
(42:28):
protections and the fissure ruling. So this indictment, now he
could bring superseding indictments, especially based on you know, some
day that Donald Trump maybe did after this election. They're
going to keep piling on. But I'll take this even
a step further. If Donald Trump wins, you can guarantee
that Tanya Chuckkin will still hold some sort of hearing
(42:50):
on this case in November or December, before Donald Trump
is sworn into office, some sort of hearing to keep
this matter alive until the very last minute, force Donald
Trump and his lawyers back in her courtroom over this
motion or a few other motions that were still expecting.
(43:10):
So they are they're going to wait till the very
last minute if Donald Trump wins, to keep this hanging
over his head as this cloud that we saw the
same thing in twenty sixteen with the made up Trump
Russia election collusion hoax. Also, we still have what's happening
in Florida judging name Cannon in July dismissing that indictment
(43:32):
based on her findings that Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed.
That also will get to the Supreme Court if Donald
Trump loses, it still will make its way to the
Supreme Court. And I'm pretty sure, based on comments that
we saw from Justice Clarence Thomas and others, that the
Supreme Court would eventually conclude that he his appointment violated
(43:52):
the appointment's clause of the Constitution. So there's still a
lot more grist that Jack Smith and squeeze out of
this Donald Trump winning or losing. But they are not
going to give this up anytime soon, and will not
give it up easily regardless of the outcome of the election.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Julie, do you get the sense that much of this
lawfair blew up in their face? They thought that My
calculus on this, and I think Buck would sign off,
is that they thought, oh, this will strengthen Trump with
right wing voters, but it's going to be ultimately damning
for him in the general election. Instead, it seems to
(44:31):
have basically strengthened Trump across the board. And that's why
I'm a little bit surprised. This feels like such a hell. Mary,
And if anything, if you asked me to analyze the
politics of this, not the law, just the politics, because
I think the law, as I've said, for some time
with you and on this show is total bunk, right,
It's just crap. But I think it actually works to
(44:53):
Trump's favor that they try to dredge this back up
once October comes up, because it shows that ultimately this
this isn't really anything other than a political move which
benefits Trump.
Speaker 9 (45:06):
Right.
Speaker 8 (45:07):
I definitely agree that the law fare, whether it's from
Jack Smith, whether it's in Georgia, from Fanny Willis, whether
it's what's happening in New York in those cases, has
completely backfired, blew up in the face of the Democratic Party.
I mean, look, you had Joe Biden bullied out of
this race because Donald Trump was going to beat him
(45:28):
despite what Joe Biden and his White House and his
agencies and his General counsel we know in cahoots trying
to concoct the classified documents skeep. They had all the
levers of power, right, and they sent DOJ prosecutors to Georgia,
and they were working with the team in New York,
and so all of this blew up to the extent
(45:49):
that Joe Biden had to pull out of the race
because Trump was so was going to beat him so badly.
So you would think that they would learn their lesson,
but they really have not. And again this is cover
for the failed Biden Kamala Harris administration. These crises blowing
up not just in the country but around the world,
(46:10):
and this is all they can hang their hat on
is JA six. So Jack Smith smoops in once again,
gives them an assist, gives them this dirty dossier, and
gives them more talking points to avoid discussing the real
issues that Americans care about.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
Julie Kelly, check out your classified on substack. Julie, thanks

or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome in everybody. Thursday edition of The Klay Travis en
Buck Sexton Show gets going right now and got a lot.
First of all, the October surprise from the Democrats has
been unleash. We have Jack Smith's filing in response to
(00:21):
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Womp, womp. Nobody cares play right. I agree with you
one hundred percent. I was at my eighth grader's football
game when everybody starts engaging in history onics over this.
Nobody cares about this at all. I mean, I know
the media is going to try to make it an issue,
zero zero zero care.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I honestly think that this is not even a top
This has now turned into not even a top ten
issue overall. I think the whole thing has been played
out and absurd. Look the media, very they're the people
that care about it. They're all hoping that this will
salvage Kamala's campaign somehow, like dude, the insurrection, Remember you
(01:03):
have to say it like that, the insurrection. But I
think that Clay, we'll talk a little bit about it.
We got Julie Kelly in third hour. We'll dive into
it with her.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Nothing new and that was I would look as I
was doing drinking my crocket coffee this morning, watching Morning Joe,
as is my habit. As I'm getting ready to read
in the for the radio show, and they're like, oh, can.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You imagine the Jack Smith report. I'm sitting here, I'm like,
nobody cares. So let's just put this aside. We're aware,
We'll dive into it, we'll dissect it. We're not going
to avoid it. But I mean, you know, it's a
nothing burger that we have to cook. But we got
more important things to do, so we will do that also.
And that brings me to the most important issue today,
which is what's going on in North Carolina and the
(01:47):
surrounding areas of states like eastern Tennessee, parts of Georgia
that have just been so badly hit by Hurricane Helene.
To third hour, we'll have former NFL player Jack Brewer
on those hurricane relief efforts. But not only do we
have to update you all on what's going on with
the hurricane aftermath, which it's now clear this is one
(02:10):
of the most devastating hurricanes that has made landfall in
the United States in years. The death toll is high
and going higher, but the relief efforts at this point.
It is it is I think very clear the relief
efforts at the federal level, FEMA specifically, not only insufficient,
(02:33):
but there are things going on that are enraging people.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Clay.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
There are local efforts that involve people who just have
air assets. Some people, Oh, you know, I drive, you know, flyhealth, drive,
fly a helicopter. I can get my boat to the area.
Whatever it may be. They're being turned away, they're being stopped,
they're being told no, you can't. Supplies are all being
(02:59):
consolidated in Asheville, North Carolina, the main city in this area. Again,
I've got family that was hit badly by this hurricane.
As we talked about ur in the week, so spent
some time in Ashville play. This is a moment where
we're not trying to tie something into politics. Politics and
the hurricane have now smashed into each other because they
(03:22):
have had to admit and it is almost hard to
say this out loud, and this is from majorcas the
head of DHS, that they don't have enough money to
get through this hurricane season. They don't have enough money.
FEMA doesn't have enough money on hand and resources on
hand to handle this right now, and that comes at
(03:45):
a time when not only clay have they spent Lord
knows how many billions of dollars on illegal migrants comforts,
you know, paying for hotels, paying for culturally sensitive meals,
paying for you know, English is a second language, train whatever.
They've also shown now that there have been funds allocated
(04:06):
from FEMA, moved temporarily, but moved to deal with the
migrant crisis, and people are absolutely outraged. Kamala Harris, play,
let's just play. This is cut one that you can
tell me what you're seeing here. Kamala Harris coming out
in Georgia to tell everybody, Oh, don't worry, some of
(04:27):
you will get seven hundred and fifty dollars. Play one.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
The federal relief and assistance that we have been providing
has included on FEMA providing seven hundred and fifty dollars
for folks who need immediate needs being met.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Play. This isn't now. This is an outrage and a
slap in the face to Americans who are in a
very tough spot right now.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, and let me say this. I'm going to be
in East Tennessee next weekend and maybe the weekend after
because I'm go cover college football for what we do
at OutKick, And there's a Florida Tennessee game for those
of you who not familiar, on October twelfth, and then
it looks like there's going to be a big Alabama
Tennessee game on October nineteenth. So let me say this.
(05:12):
I texted producer Ali this earlier. I'm not well versed
in every affiliate station that we have. We have five
hundred of them all over the nation, and I also
don't know how many of them are struggling right now
given their locations. Buck you and I went down to
the Florida area to our listeners in the Fort Myers
(05:36):
Naples area. The station that we broadcast from was completely flooded.
We couldn't get down there for some time because they
had standing water. Even when we went back down I
think it was last year, they were still recovering. They
had to strip out basically everything from the studio. We
love everybody down there. We went and did an event.
(05:56):
So let me say this, and you guys may be
able to listen in East Tennessee and western North Carolina,
North Georgia, all that area. I would like to broadcast
from a station in that area if I'm not getting
in the way, and if you have the ability to
host me, and I would like to help to raise
whatever funds or awareness or materials that we could help
(06:20):
for on this show. I'm already going to be in
East Tennessee. If you would reach out and figure out
if I can come to your station, if I can
help in that area, I would like to be a
small part of helping.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I also understand sometimes, and this is a challenge, we
don't help by coming in because there's so much going
on and it's so chaotic, and you just kind of
cloud up and crowd up what's going on there. But
I do think there are places in East Tennessee where
our signal is strong and where we have stations, Western
North Carolina, Northern Georgia, wherever it is, we want to
(06:56):
be there to help because but the story right now
is good, hardworking, reasonable Americans in those areas are doing
far more to help than the federal government is. And
it's not even close.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's even worse than that. Yeah, it's worse than that
because the federal government is incredibly slow. There's a sense
of the lethargic here in this particular and a lot
of people are looking at it and saying, hmm, what
part of the country is this?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I think you have to put it into politics here.
Let me just say it out loud. I think if
this were a blue area that was overwhelmingly voting for Kamala,
the federal government response would have been far different than
what it has been. I think you can even argue,
given Georgia and North Carolina are battlegrounds that the Kamala
Biden administration benefits by responding slowly here because it makes
(07:50):
it less likely those people can vote. Because let's be honest,
if you're worried about survival, you're not thinking about voting.
And these are overwhelmingly read areas about ground states, they
would be getting the golden illegal immigrant treatment, I think
buck if they were Blue voters.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah. So there's also federal government getting in the way
of the local efforts that we mentioned, which this is
where people, you know, this is where people really start
to lose their minds, understandably. So this is look Florida
because Ron DeSantis is a very competent governor, far more
competent than Cooper of North Carolina. Florida has set and
(08:31):
obviously very good in a hurricane and Florida very good
in a hurricane. That's not news to anybody, Like this
is a state that prepares for tremendously. You know, Montana
and Minnesota handle snow, Florida handles hurricanes. They've sent up
relief efforts, and here you have a Florida State guardsman.
This is cut to Jonathan Howard, who is just ripping
(08:52):
the hurricane response from the government side. Play two.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
I'm gonna tell you everything that is happening from the
ground one actually seeing, because what they're telling you is
complete bulls on the news and these politicians don't have
to including their line. Yesterday, me and my team did
the rescue of that eleven day year old baby, and
all these government officials and social media they're showing that video,
that pictures and video of that rescue and claiming that
(09:19):
like they have some like government helped with that. No,
it was me and my buddy Charlie and a civilian
named zeb with his own personal helicopter out of Wilmston,
North Carolina. Like without that civilian, that baby would be dead.
And the old lady we went and rescued after that,
she'd be dead too, because she had one day left
of oxygen, no one was going to go get them.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Not only is the so again it's insufficient, federal response
too slow, lack of urgency, lack of planning and coordination.
They are getting in the way of local efforts. I'm reading,
and look, it's tough to verify all this, and if
anything that I say, we get contrary reports. But I'm
reading that they're not allowing civilians to fly drones, you know,
(10:02):
little drones that have cameras on them to try to
find people. They've told people that have air assets, whether
a propeller plane or a helo, a rotary wing, that
they can't get up in the air space, that they
won't let people who have supplies get through roadblocks. What
are these people, what are these Feds doing.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's a disaster, obviously, the disaster of the flooding itself,
but the federal government response. Buck It's a week. It's
been a week now since this happened, and there are
still people basically with no supplies, unreachable, unable to get
any help at all, and the federal government is actually
(10:45):
making it harder for good people in this area to
be able to help respond to people in desperate need.
It's just it's indefensible. And again, you're right, and I
think it's so important to tie this in. FEMA says
they're out of money because FEMA money has been going
to all the illegal immigrants coming into our country. And
(11:05):
this is a perfect distillation of America. Last I don't
know if you've seen on social media people have been
putting Tennessee and North Carolina as if it was Ukraine
on the map instead of Tennessee and North Carolina and saying, hey,
maybe then the federal government would care. As we've spent
whatever it is, two hundred billion dollars plus on Ukraine
(11:30):
and making sure that the people there are okay, we
can't take care of the actual people in our own
backyard that need the support and the help the most.
And again, I think the analogy with Katrina ties into
I mean, think about how the media covered George W.
Bush over Katrina. This is it seems to me Buck
(11:50):
a bigger failure than Katrina, because Katrina at least was
located in one particular area. Was awful, but it was
easier or to manage in some ways because it was
right there, and the government got ripped to shreds they're
not even getting to the people in need yet.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
It also it feels it stings, particularly because the Biden administration,
which isn't really even the Biden administration. It's just sort
of this Democrat apparatus that functions irrespective of having no
real leadership. We know Joe Biden's not really running the
country in any meaningful way. We know that he hasn't
been for years. Kamala Harris is not a leader, is
(12:30):
not a coordinator, is not a not a logistics capable individual.
So who is really overseeing this response? Mayorcis is a
clown who has overseen the worst border in the history
of the United States, the biggest infiltration of immigration fraud
through a whole range of means in the history of
this country, and majorcas through FEMA. Is now directing this
(12:54):
whole thing. Clay to tell people that there's any problem
with FEMA funding, never mind the actual usage of that funding,
because you had to give it to migrants. You sit there,
This isn't like, you know, we raided the I don't know,
the highway fund or something a couple of year years early,
(13:14):
and we're going to put the money back. These are
emergency funds that were meant for the American people, and
you've reallocated some of them because you want to deal
with foreigners who were showing up to pillage our system,
you know. I mean, imagine if you haven't eaten in
three or four or whatever it is now a week.
Imagine if you haven't eaten in almost a week because
(13:35):
no one can get to you when you run out
of food, and it's because migrants needed more resources. I
don't you know. To me, this should be the end
of the Kamal campaign. I mean, this one issue alone
should be enough that everyone's like, this is crazy, but
we live in a crazy country, at least half of it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think we also should talk about when we come back.
This area has not had a flood like this in
one hundred years. I think it was since nineteen sixteen,
So I think a lot of people in no living
memory has this occurred. So for people who are living there,
sometimes things happen and you can be somewhat prepared that
they might occur. This had never happened in living memory
(14:15):
for anyone here. I can talk about this from my
own experience in Nashville, which had a five hundred year
flood recently. There were places that nobody even knew could
flood that got flooded. Buck And I think that's important
about this disaster. A lot of people in Florida have
things set up, you have your hurricane prepared in this everything.
I don't know that anybody in these regions really understood
(14:36):
that this could even happen. It was such an out
of the ordinary, truly extraordinary weather event that no one
in living memory had any sort of preparation for it.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Also, if you have any insights on particularly their response
and what's going on, if you're involved in it, or
if you are in the area of this disaster, of
Helene lines are open eight hundred two A two two
eight A two, please call us. You know, when Apple
first introduced the iPhone, it was in very high demand,
and more than a dozen years later, it still is.
(15:09):
So much so that cell phone companies like to bundle
the cost of a new phone with a long term plan,
making it a peer almost paid for. But Puretalk doesn't
do that. They offer great savings on the new iPhone
sixteen and you can still get an affordable cell phone
plan that fits your data needs. Puretalk provides their cell
phone service on America's most dependable five G network. I
(15:30):
know because I'm using the latest iPhone sixteen from Puretalk
with pure Talk service. Just pay twenty five dollars a
month and get unlimited talk text and five gigs of data,
which is more than enough, plus mobile hotspot from pure Talk.
Then you decide whether you want to buy a new
iPhone sixteen with great savings from Puretalk. All you got
to do to make the switch dial pound two five zero.
(15:52):
Say the keywords Clay and Buck. That's pound two five

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show covering North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia,
South Carolina. The disaster that has taken place in all
four of those states, joined now by the Governor of Georgia,
Brian Kemp. I know you have been touring northern Georgia
where much of this problem these problems have occurred. What
have you seen on the ground, Thanks for joining us
(16:42):
first of all, Governor, and what needs to be happening
that's not happening right now?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Well thanks having me on clay. First, Lady Marty Kemp
and I have been on the ground really since Saturday.
We were in Valdosta, Georgia, down there the Florida County
line on Saturday. We went to Augusta Monday and then
had to get back to Atlanta for a few things,
and then Tuesday we were back down on the ground
in Nashville, Georgia, which is Berrying County, which is in
(17:10):
the really southern part of our state. And we kind
of worked our way through seven or eight counties over
two days up to just right outside Augusta last night.
So we've been anywhere and everywhere. And I mean, this
is one devastating storm. It was incredible. I think Georgia
Power previously their worst storm ever, they had to repair
seventeen hundred poles. In this storm they have over eight thousand,
(17:34):
So that gives you an idea of the really the
width of the windshield on the storm. One of the
biggest in the Atlantic. Even though it did not end
up being a CAP five, it's still one of the
biggest hurricanes to come out of the Gulf. And you know,
the only stayed in Florida for a little while and
then hit US went all the way across our state
and obviously went on open South Carolina, North Carolina, and
Tennessee parts of Alabama. But it was devastating for us.
(17:58):
I mean, it's bad everywhere we went. But it's amazing
how many people we have responding. We've got over twenty
thousand utility workers in the state right now. We visited
with over a thousand of them yesterday morning at their
base camp. We have two thousand Georgia National Guard called up.
We'll probably have you know, all of those people working
(18:21):
by some time tomorrow. I know we've got sixteen or
seventeen hundred on the ground today. So we're getting supplies
to people, We're getting power turned back on and getting
people at least back to having some comfort in their lives.
But it has been one massive storm we're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Governor Camp, it's back. Thanks for being with us. We
know you're a call like you see a guy the
federal response basically a weekend. Now, what can you tell
us about it? Is it lacking? Is it getting better?
What's the truth?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Well, thanks Buck. You know, look from the FEDES perspective
for us, I mean we did an Earth least state
of emergency like Governor the Santas did, so we were
able to prepare with state assets, have all of our
partners in the State Operations Center before the storm hit,
you know, have people on point called up ready to go,
whether it was the you know, Department of Transportation, chainsaw
(19:18):
strike teams, Apartment Natural Resources chainsaw strike teams, the Georgia
Forestry Commission bulldoze or chainsaws, and having the guard teams
ready to go heavy you know, teams that can move
heavy equipment, do water swift, water rescue, you know, all
that kind of stuff that you may need in a
storm like this. We were able to have prepared and
(19:39):
ready to go, so we weren't really waiting around on
FEMA and we haven't this whole storm, so I wouldn't
really have a whole lot to say about, you know,
what they've been doing. Other than the original emergency declaration
they did. There was only eleven counties, which a lot
of people were upset about that, including me. I was
hearing from a lot of people by that. I talked
(20:00):
to the White House and the Theme Administrator, and shortly
thereafter they added thirty counties to that list, and we're
continuing to push them to do more.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Look, there are a lot of people of all different
political persuasions affected by this storm in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
South Carolina. You've seen a lot of it in Georgia.
We hear and are hearing from a lot of our
listeners in all four of those states that the federal
response frankly has been disastrous and that they're not seeing
very much help. And we know that some people are
(20:31):
starting to get signals now they're listening to us on
battery power radios. Is Joe Biden, in your experience, responsive,
Is Kamala Harris who is heading this up for them?
Do you think they understand the scale and magnitude of
how awful this storm has been and do you think
they're responding in a way that justifies the magnitude and
(20:53):
awfulness of this storm.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Well, I wouldn't be able to speak to other states, guys,
as you know, have been focused on my own man,
We've got much damage in some ways as any of
the other states. You know, obviously North Carolina is dealing
with tragic situations with literally hundreds of people that they
know is missing, and you know, not being on the ground,
not knowing the response so far, and who's been doing
(21:16):
what From a federal and state perspective, I wouldn't want
to speculate on that. I can just tell you that
from our perspective, we were ready to go before the
storm hit. The concerns that we've had that we relate
to female even though we were frustrated with only the
eleven initial counties. You know, they they heard loud and
clear where we were, and you know, I just told them,
(21:37):
you know my opinion. I said, y'all are sending a
signal of mitsed messages here and people on the ground
feel like they're not being paid attention to. They feel invisible,
and you know that's a that's a problem for the response,
and it's a problem from you all. But you know
they did act when we said something to them about that.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
When you look at at all the devastation in Georgia
and elsewhere, we got so many people out there listening
to us in all fifty states that are saying what
can we do? You know, good American spirit uplift? What
would you tell people out there that are seeing what
has happened to this region and seeing how many people
are devastated? What can people from outside the region do?
And also in your home state of Georgia, what can
(22:20):
people do to help everybody that's affected? What would you
ask them to do?
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Well, I'll tell you we've seen so many heartbreaking and
heartwarming things on the ground. I mean talking to first
responders that had to respond to twenty seven year old
mother that had was in the bed with her two
one month old twin boys in a tree fell on
them and killed all three of them. You know, talking
to those people that had to respond and extricate those individuals.
(22:46):
I mean, that is some really tough work, guys. I
mean is just heartbreaking for our first responders. And there's
been several instances like that, So, you know, people that
want to help, I would be given to nonprofits that
you know, are organizations that support our first responders, men
and women in law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
There's also a.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Lot of the faith based community that's responding. There's a
little Videol church in Kite, Georgia, which is in Johnson County.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
You know, the.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Feeding forward to five hundred people a day, just trying
to keep people fed through this, I think going to
faith based organizations that you know and trust. They know
how to filter money to states like ours and South
Carolina and North Carolina to help people in need. And
then you know, certainly we've got the Red Cross Salvation
Army of people like that that are on the ground
in Georgia and many of these other states as well.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Governor Campa, Georgia, appreciate you making the time for us.
God bless, I know you're taking care of a lot
of folks in your state right now where our thoughts
are with you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Hey, thanks guys, God bless.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oklay you know there you have it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I mean, this is some states taking a lot of
action here, but we all you want to get to
do that extent. Yeah, let's go to our call in
western North Carolina. We appreciate the governor making time to
come on and tell you what he's seeing on the
ground directly in Georgia. But we had a caller right
as we went to break that was telling us about
what he had seen on the ground in western North Carolina.
(24:12):
You just now got communication back. You're listening to us.
What was the storm?
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Like?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
What did you see then?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
What have you seen since?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Yeah? Thanks Clay, was it was incredible. I've spent twenty
almost twenty years in law enforcement here locally, and we've unfortunately,
we've we've lived through a couple of these onms that
have CAUs quite a bit of damage and flooding here.
So here in this county, in Haywood, we're pretty used
to getting prepared. And I will say the emergency management
(24:44):
here in this county and really cross west North Carolina
did a great job get in front of this, letting
people know about what was coming, what they needed to do,
how they needed to prepare evacuations. But I don't think
anything could have prepared any of us for what we seen. Uh. Myself,
I live on a hill, so I was very, very
fortunate as far as flooding goes. But I've got family
(25:06):
that they've been They they up until yesterday, have been
trapped uh in their little cove that they they lived
in road. The road became the creek. Uh and uh
so you know, getting resources to them daily, trying to
get them food, get them gas or their generators. You know,
those stories are about these mountains and you've both been here,
(25:28):
you know, you see and in East Tennessee all these
coves and and these creeks that are they're beautiful, but
they're one way in, one one way out, and when
that's cut off, you know, you can't get to them.
And that that's the biggest issue. I think. The other
issue is communication.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Cellphone service went down completely for probably about forty eight
forty eight hours, give or take, and it's still coming
back online slowly. But as you can imagine, if you
can't call nine one one and ask for help, nobody
knows you need help. Yeah, and that's not just for
flood those experience and flooding. That's just day to day
(26:05):
emergency medical emergencies that people have. So those are stories
we're gonna know and hear about probably as the weeks
go and come, and we'll find out about. But uh,
one of the bigger issues has been a communication and
it's been at all all sale service has been cut
(26:25):
off here really for several days. And it was you
were going to that door to door, you were physically
going to people and checking on them. I spent Saturday
and several friends just pump checking on people that we
knew may need help or just to make sure they
were okay. And uh, that's that's across the bord. There's
been so much of that that's gone on here here
(26:47):
since the flood happened.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So I gotta tell you, thank you for the call, Tyler,
and thank you for listening. These are some of the
best people in the world. I mean you're talking about
I spent a lot of time around this crew obviously
East Tennessee, Uh, Georgia. You're just hearing from, I mean,
just good hearted, helpful, incredibly generous people. And I think
what Tyler is telling is actually going to end up
(27:10):
being the primary story here.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
You can't rely on the government, and I'm disgusted that
I have to say that, but ultimately, I think what
you're gonna find in these states, in this storm, in
this region is only hand. You can rely on, the
one at the end of your sleeve, and you got
to help your neighbor up yourself, and you've got to
be out there doing everything that you can. I think
what Tyler's telling us people going knocking on doors, buck,
(27:33):
I mean ain't nobody coming to save you all?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I mean, also are people all of you tend to
be far more prepared for emergency on average than just
you know, the run of the mill American. I mean,
let's just be honest, and we tend to have just
people that you know, have you know, keep food on hand,
keep you know, keep firearms and ammunition on hand to
(27:57):
defend themselves. Keep you know, comms, radios whatever they whatever
you need, you know, am radio by the way, on hand,
battery powered, and and you know, I think if you
had told people if you lived in Western you know,
if you live in Appalachia, you said I'm ready for
the floods whenever they come, people would have set off.
Well you know that's well, now we know you just
(28:17):
got to be prepared in advance. There are just some
things you got to have on hand. And it is
it is your neighbors who will be whatever the disaster is,
it is good neighbors who will be able to get
to you first. That's the truth, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
And buck this transitions perfectly into rapid radios. Your sister
in law is in the Asheville area. You just heard
from Tyler. All the cell phones were down. Tell people
what happened. So here, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Rapid radios runs off of all if there's any cell
company that is up, it'll use that. And they actually
have a really interesting explanation of this up on the site.
But also you have instantaneous communication and you don't have
to worry about cell towers getting overloaded. And they were
using it on what Saturday, I think after the Friday
(29:06):
was a hurricane. On Saturday, they were communicating the rapid
radios within the family and it just made everything so
much easier. And I've just I just had a bunch
of them sent to my family in New York. Every
member of my family is now to one of you
have a set of these in their home and have
it linked up. Because because Laura and Carrie were actually
talking over over the rapid radios as well. Yeah, my wife,
(29:27):
we got the rapid radios at the house. She wanted
to test and see how far the radio signal would work,
and she actually picked it up and started talking. Ended
up talking to your father in law and then Carrie,
your wife in Miami. So you had North Carolina, South Florida, Nashville, Tennessee,
all on the same network. If you got friends and family,
you just picked this thing up, you start talking. Yeah,
(29:49):
Laura was like she didn't even know who she was
talking to. She just picked it up. She was trying
to test it. Next thing you know, she's talking with
your wife, with your father in law and that family
circuit because our circuit were connected on rapid radios. Look,
there's a lot of things you need, but we're telling
you exactly what happened related to these radios with so
much going on. Buck, My understanding is this rapid radio
(30:12):
thing has been absolutely just so many people trying to
buy these things now because they're not everyone.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Everyone should have it. Every member of my family is
having this in there, it has it. I'm glad Carry's
family did has this in their home. This is just
a must have at home.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Welcome back in everyone. Jack Brewer joins now former NFL
player and a federal commissioner. He's also chairman of the
Jack Brewer Foundation, which is involved in disaster and medical
relief missions. Jack, thanks for being with us. Just want
to hand you the floor. What are you hearing? What
are you up to? How are you helping?
Speaker 9 (31:37):
No, thanks so much, guys, It's honored to be on
with you. We are in Florida and we have been
helping a number of different areas, primarily in Levoc County,
which is Yankeetown, as well as Taylor County which is
steam Hot Tatchy, as well as Keaton Beach. And these
areas have just been devastated. I know we've all seen
(31:59):
on the news, and many of the places in North
Carolina are getting so much attention, which they deserve, But
there are areas of Florida right now that are just
as devastated. I mean, homes that have been completely knocked down.
These small towns have taken on over twenty foot of
storm surge, and even the homes that you see that
are still standing, most of them took on eight to
(32:22):
ten feet of water, and so everything in them. They
have to bring them out. And these aren't wealthy areas.
These are places where, you know, Americans were already you know,
dealing with massive inflation, They're already you know, dealing with
the realities at the gas pump and having them make
those life testyle changes. Many didn't have insurance. It's difficult
to get flood insurance in some of these areas, and
(32:43):
so that now they're just left, They're left out in
the cold with nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You know.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
I've been on the ground since this storm was over,
and I don't think I've seen a single federal agency,
a FEMA truck or anyone out there yet. And we've
spent a lot of time on the ground. So it's
just a sad time right now in America. But I
tell you, you know, Floridians have been resilient. You know,
we met people from Wisconsin and Michigan and folks coming
(33:09):
over from Tennessee to help, and so that's been really empowering.
But there definitely needs to be more aid and support.
You know, Governor DeSantis has done an incredible job down
here getting all of these power lines back up. I mean,
it was over a million and a half people without
power in these areas, a lot of people, and so
you know, you'll go down the road and you may
(33:31):
see one hundred and fifty different trucks all working on
power lines across these counties. So it really is a
I've been working with murkk one who's been a big
supporter of ours and many of our relief missions. Glim
Back such a great man, and we're just trying to
continue to serve as much as we can.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Jack, Thank you so much for what you're doing. Your
perfect evidence of what Buck and I have been talking about.
The American people are much better than the American government
that we have unfortunately representing us right now, and it's
going to take a lot of individual efforts. We wanted
to get as many people on Jack. Thank you for
making the time, thank you for being flexible, and thank
you for everything that you're doing to try to help
so many people in need.
Speaker 9 (34:13):
Thanks so much, Clay, y'all got you guys, keep standing
for food Man.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
We're joined by Julie Kelly Declassified is her substack, which
you can subscribe to, you know, Julie just want to
say before we dive into the latest law fair Shenanigan's.
You know, we have spent really the entire show on
what we think is actually the most important story in
the country today. I know you agree, which is what's
(34:37):
going on in this aftermath of Helene and the relief efforts.
But we didn't want to leave it out there. You know,
we don't want anyone to say, oh, well, they're not
talking about the big Jack Smith bomb that was dropped.
You know, they're avoid So of course, you know we
will address this now, you know, I guess the first
(34:57):
way to do it. And just to be clear that
the demo crap media thinks it's the most important thing
in the whole country, right, I mean, they're far more important.
Clay and I were reading the headlines New York Times,
Washington post much more concerned with Jack Smith's latest thing
than what's going on in the you know, Carolinas, any
area is impacted by the hurricane. But okay, so they're
(35:18):
saying this, we have an election coming up, talk to us.
Anything new in this and what's why is this supposed
to be in October?
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Surprise because there isn't a lot new in here. A
lot of this has been sort of regurgitated from I
want to make sure my mic is on okay, good,
regurgitated from both the House impeachment against Donald Trump for
Jay six, and of course the Jay six House Committee report.
(35:47):
But what this does, and how I have described it,
is Jack Smith's opening arguments for a case that will
never make it to trial. This week, watered down and
in some instance is still unlawful. Four account indictment that
Jack Smith has against Donald Trump will never survive a
(36:07):
Supreme Court test again, both for immunity and the Fisher decision,
which is we've talked about fifteen twelve C. Two the
Supreme Court overturning how the DOJ has applied that post
and run statute. It represents two of the four counts
in this indictment. This is never going to trial even
if Donald Trump loses. So this is his opening argument.
(36:29):
Jack Smith is a partisan political hack, a former Obama,
a DOJ official, who also has been overturned by the
Supreme Court nine to nothing in the Robert Donald conviction.
And he's he's got a record of losing. So this
is his only opportunity to not just salvage this J
(36:52):
six case in the public square, but also try to
salvage the remaining shards of his decaying reputation. So that
is what we're seeing from what I call this dirty
dossier with the Steele dos Cia in twenty sixteen. Now
we've got Jack Smith dossier. But to your point, the
media has they are acting like it was Christmas Day yesterday.
(37:16):
Jake Tapper's on CNN, He's waving one hundred and sixty
five pages around. You've got the analysts there and the
commentators talking about how this will be a fatal blow
to Donald Trump's candidacy, that he will not win reelection
because of this issue. But again, it also gives cover
for the real scandals and the real crises, which is
of course the devastation, the apocalyptic images that are coming
(37:40):
out of North Carolina, and also the other crises that
we have, you know, war in the Middle East on
a few different fronts, and open southern border with criminal
migrants coming across into our country. So this is a
perfect cover for the media, the Democrats and the Harris
Walls ticket to pivot away from the real issues to
a again, this four hour disturbance almost now four years ago.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
You know, I love this, Julie, because I was out
watching eighth grade football last night. My phone blows up
with Oh my goodness, can you I thought, Oh, what's
going on here? I go look, and I'm like, this
story is not going to last twenty four hours. And
it's interesting. This story came out and Donald Trump today
actually in the betting markets, which I like to follow,
(38:25):
took the lead over Kamala. Harris so Buck and I
have been talking about New York Times, Washington Post. It's
their top four or five stories. Meanwhile, people are dying
in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina with the storm
that came through that Biden and Kamala can't seem to
respond to. But it landed, to use a phrase from
the Obama administration, really like a nothing burger. And then
(38:48):
they're going to desperately try to make it happen, and
then I'll tell you what's going to happen in.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Even the ardent left is not going to be fueling
the clicks and the ratings that they need, and it's
going to be over.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
And I can only imagine.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I think the last time we had you on Julie,
I was saying, I want a Jack Smith cam for
election night if Trump wins. This guy has spent years
of his life now trying to get Trump, and Trump
is actually gonna end up president of the United States. All
of his work is going to go up in smoke,
and he's basically his career's over.
Speaker 8 (39:20):
Yes, let's hope his career is over, and let's hope
that there is accountability because what this document Clay represents,
what he filed yesterday is the most brazen, egregious example
of DOJ interference, not just interference in a presidential campaign,
our presidential race, but doing using the full weight of
(39:41):
the Department of Justice, the most powerful law enforcement agency
in the country, to destroy Donald Trump's chances at winning. Now,
to your point, I don't think it is. I think
that this will sort of fade away except at CNN,
at MSNBC, in the Washington Post, in New York Times. Look,
you've got today Kamala Harris with Liz Cheney at an
(40:03):
event in Wisconsin. What are they going to talk about?
Not the issues that people of Wisconsin care about. They're
going to talk about this fake threat that Donald Trump
poses to democracy, whatever that means. How we almost you know,
ended our country, as Joe Biden calls it, we almost
lost everything, Joe Biden says about January sixth, And that
(40:24):
is what they will be talking about. That's all they've got.
And so but there's going to be more to come.
This is only the first hit out of this motion.
There also will be an appendix that will be unsealed
in the next probably week or so that will give
more witness testimony disclosing grand jury testimony FBI three to
(40:45):
O two. So they're going to keep piling on. Judge
Chuckkin is going to allow Jacksmith to do this and
really denying Donald Trump his due process rights. While this
is an opening argument on paper, if it was at truck,
Donald Trump would be allowed immediately to respond, cross examine witness,
et cetera. None of that is happening now. It is
(41:07):
not just election interference another DOJ, just disparagement of the
law of due process, the rule of law, and denial
of constitutional protections that we all have, including Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Speaking of Julie Kelly declassified as her substack where she
does a lot of great work on this issue, Julie.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
If Trump wins, I think we all know that this
goes away as it should if for some reason Heaven forbid,
but it could happen Kamala Harris becomes president. What do
you see as the future of the Jack Smith prosecution
based on what we now know the Supreme Court weighing
in Jack Smith's dirty dossier. Is it really just about
(41:53):
the election and the politics and the election interference or
do you really think that Jack Smith is going to
try to lot Donald Trump up if he loses.
Speaker 8 (42:04):
I think he will still try. I know we've been
talking about this for a few years since Jack Smith
was appointed now November of twenty twenty two. So if
Donald Trump loses, yes, they will continue the January sixth case.
It will never survive, as I said, the Supreme Court
where it will end up again because it will be
another immunity question. Will never survive and appeal on immunity
(42:28):
protections and the fissure ruling. So this indictment, now he
could bring superseding indictments, especially based on you know, some
day that Donald Trump maybe did after this election. They're
going to keep piling on. But I'll take this even
a step further. If Donald Trump wins, you can guarantee
that Tanya Chuckkin will still hold some sort of hearing
(42:50):
on this case in November or December, before Donald Trump
is sworn into office, some sort of hearing to keep
this matter alive until the very last minute, force Donald
Trump and his lawyers back in her courtroom over this
motion or a few other motions that were still expecting.
(43:10):
So they are they're going to wait till the very
last minute if Donald Trump wins, to keep this hanging
over his head as this cloud that we saw the
same thing in twenty sixteen with the made up Trump
Russia election collusion hoax. Also, we still have what's happening
in Florida judging name Cannon in July dismissing that indictment
(43:32):
based on her findings that Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed.
That also will get to the Supreme Court if Donald
Trump loses, it still will make its way to the
Supreme Court. And I'm pretty sure, based on comments that
we saw from Justice Clarence Thomas and others, that the
Supreme Court would eventually conclude that he his appointment violated
(43:52):
the appointment's clause of the Constitution. So there's still a
lot more grist that Jack Smith and squeeze out of
this Donald Trump winning or losing. But they are not
going to give this up anytime soon, and will not
give it up easily regardless of the outcome of the election.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Julie, do you get the sense that much of this
lawfair blew up in their face? They thought that My
calculus on this, and I think Buck would sign off,
is that they thought, oh, this will strengthen Trump with
right wing voters, but it's going to be ultimately damning
for him in the general election. Instead, it seems to
(44:31):
have basically strengthened Trump across the board. And that's why
I'm a little bit surprised. This feels like such a hell. Mary,
And if anything, if you asked me to analyze the
politics of this, not the law, just the politics, because
I think the law, as I've said, for some time
with you and on this show is total bunk, right,
It's just crap. But I think it actually works to
(44:53):
Trump's favor that they try to dredge this back up
once October comes up, because it shows that ultimately this
this isn't really anything other than a political move which
benefits Trump.
Speaker 9 (45:06):
Right.
Speaker 8 (45:07):
I definitely agree that the law fare, whether it's from
Jack Smith, whether it's in Georgia, from Fanny Willis, whether
it's what's happening in New York in those cases, has
completely backfired, blew up in the face of the Democratic Party.
I mean, look, you had Joe Biden bullied out of
this race because Donald Trump was going to beat him
(45:28):
despite what Joe Biden and his White House and his
agencies and his General counsel we know in cahoots trying
to concoct the classified documents skeep. They had all the
levers of power, right, and they sent DOJ prosecutors to Georgia,
and they were working with the team in New York,
and so all of this blew up to the extent
(45:49):
that Joe Biden had to pull out of the race
because Trump was so was going to beat him so badly.
So you would think that they would learn their lesson,
but they really have not. And again this is cover
for the failed Biden Kamala Harris administration. These crises blowing
up not just in the country but around the world,
(46:10):
and this is all they can hang their hat on
is JA six. So Jack Smith smoops in once again,
gives them an assist, gives them this dirty dossier, and
gives them more talking points to avoid discussing the real
issues that Americans care about.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
