Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Thursday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Off right now. This election is underway.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
There is actual voting going on right now, early voting
in Pennsylvania. Do we know how many states, Clay, have
you talied it? It's a bunch, right. Early voting is
underway in some places, which means that the votes. Did
you know, I don't even know the number? Off you
know what I actually printed out and have it. This
is how much of a nerd I am? I have
(00:31):
it printed out. It is on the counter in our
kitchen because I wanted to be able to see. That's
how much of a nerd I am? I have the
whole thing see printed out of the hotail. Yeah, I
knew he'd have it somewhere, So we'll get it to
you later on this hour when Clay runs to grab
some crocket coffee. He will also be able to tell
us every place where there's early voting.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
But just to bring.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Into our conversation how much this is really happening right now,
that election twenty twenty four is in process. It's kind
of weird, right you think of it as election day,
But as we've been telling you. No, no, no, no,
Go vote early wherever you can, wherever it is legal
to do so, obviously, go vote early. We've also got
(01:13):
updates on Hurricane Milton. I am coming to you all
from Los Angeles, So I am out here in LA
doing the Bill Maher Show tomorrow night. It will be
It will be a good and robust exchange of ideas.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
They pick your outfit or did carry pick your outfit
for TV tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Carrie had outfit approval. I am not.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I do not work unless someone says you must wear
a tie for something, and I care about their opinion.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I do not wear ties. So okay, didn't.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Carrie weight in no tie? Early preview for you on
Bill Maher, which I'm I mean that that should be fun,
like that should be interesting to see how it goes.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Have you ever had a live audience boo you before?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I don't mean boo you like a sports thing where
they're kidding because you're like I actually no, but they're
actually mad at you.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
No, I've only had it.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I've had it happen a bunch in sports where I've
picked against a team that is it's.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Playful, but it's playful. No, I'm talking about you.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
When you're a conservative on Bill Maher, you can get
an audience that boos you, and they rarely are booing you.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So anyway, don't worry. I'm prepared for that.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
In fact, if I don't get a little hiss or
boo from the audience, I'll feel like I haven't quite
done my job.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
But nonetheless, out here in LA I.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Bring that up because I'm not close to what has
gone on in Florida, but obviously a lot of my
friends and family are. We have an update on Hurricane Milton.
It seems I know they're still surveying the damage the tornadoes,
which the footage of it, some of it looks like
it's fake. Some of these tornadoes. There were tornadoes popping
(02:49):
up in parts of Florida that looked like something from
the movie Twister, or look like something you would expect,
you know, in a flat midwestern state tornado alley. But
the tornadoes unfortunately, four people confirmed dead, a lot of damage.
I mean, the hurricane hit I think at a category
two level, not a Category four or five. But we're
(03:11):
still taking stock of what the damage is. Relief efforts underway,
and we'll bring you the latest on that. Throughout the show.
But this is really the still in the early hours
are after that that incident, so and Helene and the
efforts to with Helene continues. I wonder which is going
to be Helene, as we know, already has fatalities.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
That are in the deadly hurricane since Katrina, Katrina. Glad
you brought that up.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Buck, I will be at our Nashville at our Ashville
affiliate in North Carolina tomorrow. So I am flying in
on a helicopter because I think it's almost impossible to
land in Ashville. They are going to in the helicopter
fly me over the area and the damage. I will
be there live from yon to three in our Ashville affiliate.
(04:01):
I appreciate them hosting me. I'm gonna hope to give
you guys a first hand account of what I have seen.
And then Buck, we are raising money on Friday for
Hurricane Helen victims in East Tennessee Knoxville at the Yeehaw
Brewery downtown Knoxville. There for anyone that is going to
be in town that lives in Knoxville, East Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Florida,
(04:23):
Tennessee have a big game and so we're trying to
shine a spotlight.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
We'll be doing a lot of that tomorrow. Now.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I didn't get a chance to talking about it yesterday
Clay Clay had had the show, So I will weigh
in and know that some of this we've probably already
touched on a bit.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I was on a flight yesterday, but.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Clay Kamala is having a panic moment. I think the
whole campaign is honest Democrats Mark Halpern. When I say honest,
I don't mean they're honest in everything, like, oh, you
can trust these Democrats. I mean those who are being
honest when it comes to the state of this election.
Recognize that the numbers are not only against Kamala, they
(05:07):
are trending clearly against Kamala at this point. So you know,
there's there's a lot that we can get to. One
of the components of this is Pennsylvania. Early voting is
underway right now in Pennsylvania. This is cut ten Donald
Trump telling everybody get after it, don't wait, get there.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
To the polls.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It is even with Trump with good numbers, even with
things trending in the right direction, it's going to be
close when all is said and done. In these critical
battleground states Play ten.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Early voting is underway now. So when the polls open tomorrow,
don't wait. Go immediately go as soon as you can.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
If you want, you go.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Some people want to wait. They want to wait till
that beautiful Tuesday, that day that's going to be the
most important day in the history of oh I believe,
you know, I really believe that.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I think we're gonna win Pennsylvania. We're leading in all
the polls. I shouldn't tell you that. I shouldn't tell you.
I should say we're down one.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
We're down one. Get out of it now. We're doing well
in Pennsylvania. We're doing well in Michigan. We're doing well
in Arizona, Nevada.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
We're doing well everywhere.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
We're doing well in places that are Republican hasn't won
in years. We're doing well everywhere because people are looking
at the people that are destroying our country. They say,
we're not going to take it anymore. If we win Pennsylvania,
we win the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's over right, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's all it takes. They win Pennsylvania unless something crazy happens. Clay,
that's ballgame.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well and I'm glad Trump is saying get out and vote, Bucket.
Yesterday you were traveling cross country. I spent a lot
of time, and some of you are going to get
tired of hearing us say it, but this is voting time.
We have a voting season. You may not like it personally, Buck,
I wish everybody had to show up with their ID
in their hand at their local polling place on election day.
(07:14):
I think that's the way to have the most secure
possible elections. So I agree with all of you. We've
talked about this. My wife is volunteering and is going
to spend all day Election day at our local polling
place checking id's everything else. We talked about how to
volunteer for everybody out there. But we have election season
and it is time to take advantage of the opportunities
(07:38):
in front of us. If you are fed up, and
we certainly are fed up on this show, and we
know most of you are as well, with the decisions
of Kamala and Biden, then it's time to show consequences.
I want Rachel Maddow crying at eleven o'clock Eastern Buck.
I want to make this too big to rig I
(07:59):
want there to be big time margins rolling in. Everybody's saying, hey,
we're going to take a week. It's going to take
a bunch of days. How amazing would it be if
on election Day those of you in New Hampshire show
up and vote for Trump, and suddenly on election Night
we start to get some results in states that people
aren't even really putting on the board, and we see, boy,
(08:22):
Trump's gonna win. How great would that be two Sea
in Virginia for all of you listening to us throughout Virginia.
If those numbers are coming in and we're seeing it's
going to be tight buck. I think Trump is doing
a big rally at Madison Square Garden. He is also
going to do a big rally in southern California. I
think the Trump team doesn't just think they can win.
(08:45):
I think they believe they can win the popular vote.
And look, it's two seventy.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I was gonna say that that would be the closest
thing that Trump can get to a mandate, if there's
such a thing. And people always argue about what constitutes
an electoral mandate, but if he were to win the
popular vote, that would be that would be in normous
last time Republicans was a two thousand and four, is
that it's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, But it.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Also factors into what is happening in the big blue strongholds.
They're trending red, they're not trending red enough or you know,
trending toward more Republicans that we're gonna win them, okay,
And we're not gonna win California, We're not gonna win
New York. And we we operate in reality here. We've
got to stay in Realville, everybody, right. So we're hoping
(09:38):
though that Republicans in those states will continue the momentum
because that could be critical for some contested house races. Remember,
you want to have House control. If Donald Trump wins
the election, very likely he will win in the House
as well, but you want to run up that margin
by as much as you possibly can. And that means
some of those some of those battleground congressional disc tricks
(10:00):
are really really important. And it also makes me feel
as a still lifelong or lifetime New Yorker who is
now a Floridian clay, to see that Kamala's margin of
victory in New York is expected to be half what
Hillary's was and what Biden's Hillary and Biden it was
like the same.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Twenty three percent give or take a percentage, twenty.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Three points for both Hillary and Biden in sixteen and twenty.
And to your point, the numbers now well.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Down fourteen thirteen, fourteen percent.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And look, I know that's not votes, that's polls, but
that's a huge drop off that it could be important
in those contested congressional races. I'll say, Clay, there's some
good news. I mean, whenever I see a sad piece
and there's been a few of them in the New
York Times other places about how Muslim American voters in
(10:54):
Michigan just not happy with Democrats, not happy with Kamala.
They got a big problem because that voting block came
out heavily for Joe Biden in twenty twenty, and expectations
are they're not going to do the same in Michigan.
The only wrinkle in this whole plant, I just say,
is white college educated voters, white voters with a college degree,
(11:18):
especially in the suburbs, are trending more Democrat. And I'm
sitting here and I anyway, that's a whole we got
to have.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
A whole talk about that. I don't know, I do
know what's going on with them, but they just drive
me insane.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well, they've just succumbed, as Elon Musk would say, to
the woke mind virus. And I think that is they
just have decided they don't like Trump for temperamental reasons.
But if you look at Michigan, and we were on
the front edge of this, I have to say, and
partly I think this because I've spent enough time up
there because my wife is from Michigan, a lot of
her family is there. But they have a large Jewish population,
(11:54):
they have a large Arab population, and both of those
groups went overwhelmingly for Biden. And I think, and we'll
see when the data comes out, I think a lot
of Jewish voters are going Trump. We saw recently you
were talking about New York. Buck Jewish voters in New
York are going for Trump. So the state of New
York Jewish population, according to some polling, is going to
(12:16):
be voting for Trump. Now they have a large, you
know this, well large Orthodox Jewish population in Manhattan in particular,
which is more conservative than let's say, Beverly Hills, Jewish
population for instance. But it is I think emblematic of
the struggles that Kamala is having, and Michigan in particular
(12:36):
has to be a full on panic because if Arab
voters don't show up for Kamala in a big way,
and if Jewish voters don't show up for Kamala in
a big way, she can't win that state. And so
I know we got a big audience in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.
You guys control this race, and not only for the
presidency but also for the Senate. I think a big
(12:57):
sign buck is the nr SEE is pouring money in
to the Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Senate races, feeling like
not only is Trump doing well, but all three of
those Republican Senate candidates have a good chance to win
as well.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Also, just want to point out, you know, Clay has
been very much pounding the drum like the coach who
wants the team to actually win the state championship here
of go out and vote early. A part of it
that I don't think we've really addressed it. I have
family members, by the way, just texted me, Oh, we've
already in New York we've already voted. You know, we've
sent in our votes, right, because you can do it
there in New York it's open and mail in ballots
(13:34):
and whatever. And here's the thing. When you tell people that, Clay,
there's a there's a contagion effect.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So the more of you who are going to be
calling in and emailing us in the week's head saying, oh,
I already put in my vote for Trump and Pennsylvania,
you know, again based on what is allowable for the
schedule in your state. But the more of you that
do that, I think the more encouraging it is to
others to also jump on that train, right is why not?
Why not get it done? Why not go for it?
(14:02):
I understand. I appreciate Trump even said it is like
the beautiful day. Voting day is beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
It is a beautiful day.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
But we also want to win, right, So make sure
that we get these votes in. We'll take some of
your calls on this also, Clay, I'm really curious for
any of our any of our listeners who are in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
because I feel like those are the we've known that
all along, that's nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
New, but they're really tight.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You know, they're spending what was it, three hundred and
fifty million dollars on media in Pennsylvania alone.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
A billion dollars, a billion dollars, and even the Guardian
over in the UK is saying, yeah, the numbers aren't
moving despite the fact that she's spent like crazy, to
your point, three hundred fifty million million dollars just in Pennsylvania.
If you live in Pennsylvania, you can't even turn the
television on, right, We're probably the radio without being completely
inundata with ads.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
So give us some of the atmosp so we'll prioritize
any callers coming in from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin this hour.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Look.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
The Preborn Network of Clinics is a nonprofit organization that
has an incredibly worthy goal. I know we can get
all caught up in elections and things that are going
on in the news cycle, but Preborn is saving lives
day in and day out. That is their mission, and
that's how important what they do is they've saved the
lives of nearly three hundred thousand babies to date over
(15:27):
the last two decades that they've been pursuing this mission.
Today they have more people and more clinics that ever,
all located in communities. They do this intentionally where abortion
rates are some of the highest in the country. I've
been to one of these clinics. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You go there.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Everyone is so kind, everyone is so helpful and understands
why they're there, wants to be there. I'm talking about
the staff. And then you have these women who will
come in and they talk to me and told me
that preborn now that they have a little three year old,
they have a little five year old running around the
office because Preborn came in, gave them an ultra sear
and help them. That's all it takes to save tiny
(16:04):
babies lives. Each life saving ultrasound costs just twenty eight dollars.
Twenty eight dollars. You imagine right now what that emotional
connection is between mother and child when she sees a
little heartbeat on that ultrasound. But Preborn can't do this,
can't keep saving lives without your help, the pro life community.
Please give your best gift today. Sponsor as many ultrasounds
(16:27):
as you can. Remember twenty eight dollars is an ultrasound.
All gifts are tax deductible. To donate securely dial pound
two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound two fifty,
Save baby. Or go to preborn dot com slash buck.
That's preborn dot com slash Buck sponsored by Preborn.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane. Reclaim
your sanity with Clay and Fund.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Got a bunch to get into Buck.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
But I wanted you to let you know that I
just went downstairs and my wife says that she thinks
this oven is too complicated for me, and she disputes
whether I've cooked pizzas there, and but she did say
that I am very good at using the microwave. And
there we good remember twenty years ago when we lived
(17:21):
together in a condo, that I was much better at
using that oven to cook pizzas.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So there you go my culinary ability.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
What is your microwave? All star meal?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
If you what is your absolute God? I'm gonna tell
you right now. I'm a big frozen chicken nuggets guy.
That gets me. I always love you, know.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I remember I had a we created a minor run
on dinosaur chicken nuggets when I was talking about how
my boys love dinosaur chicken nuggets and dinosaur oatmeal, both
of which we've obviously very palaeotologically inclined culinary talents here
in the Travis household.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I would I would say I'd buy. Some people say
what do you eat?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I go into the Kroger by me in my neighborhood,
and I like to buy the pre made meals, which
are actually fairly healthy and only take like four minutes
to throw in the microwave, and so that I eat
a lot of those.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think I'm pretty good at that.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
And for people who watch us on Clay and Buck,
we have a bit of a weird kind of schedule
right because our show, I'm on Central time. You're usually
on East Coast. You're in LA right now, but our
show is eleven to two Central. That's when most people
eat lunch. So I usually just have like a smoothie,
and so I don't have like really defined significant meals
(18:43):
by and large. I'm just grabbing things on the go
most of the time. But anyway, that's an update, Okay, Buck,
I really think that you are starting to see that
Joe Biden absolutely despises Kamala Harris, and there are little
things that he does that have given us that indication.
(19:06):
But I want to play for you. Kamala Harris tried
to create a story to interject herself into the narrative
that Ron DeSantis was being disrespectful of her and not
returning her phone call. And there have now been two
consecutive days where Joe Biden has been asked questions about
(19:31):
this in general, and Biden usually never takes questions at all.
And it seems to me that Biden likes Ron DeSantis
and doesn't like Kamala. Tell me if I'm misreading this.
This was yesterday, Biden takes his usual shots at Trump.
(19:51):
And look, I'm not saying Biden likes Trump. He does not,
but I think he really doesn't like Kamala at all.
And eventually we're going to get the full story of
how he got forced out and she got elevated.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
But listen to cut two here, mister.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
President, does Santas need to take Vice President Harris's calls?
All I can tell you is that I'm talking to
Governor DeSantis.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
He's been very gracious, She's thanked me for all we've done.
He knows what we're doing. And I think that's important.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Okay, So he's directly asked does he need to take
Kamala's calls, and instead of saying yes, which would be
an easy answer if he really wanted to interject himself
into politics, he actually goes out of his way back
to say, I'm talking to DeSantis. This is two days
in a row, and he's been very gracious, and yesterday
(20:44):
he said he had been great as well. What do
you make of this because it seems like a clear
attempt by Biden to throw Kamala Harris under the bus
and certainly not help her when he's endorsing in many ways,
he's the behavior of DeSantis and in no way saying like, yeah,
(21:04):
Kamala should get a phone call here.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Well, NBC News just reporting now.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
That uh, the Biden that Biden didn't know about what's
going on. So now the claim is that Biden was
unaware of the snubbed phone call narrative. So he's not
intentionally doing this. Very hard for us to know, Clay,
because Joe Biden's not aware.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Of a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I mean, no, no, a normal person would know why
you're not You're not really buck.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
He never answers questions, and you're telling me two days
in a row, he stopped and listened to all of
the reporter questions. He specifically asked in that question, should
Ron DeSantis return Kamala's call. This is the second straight
day he's responded to that question, and you're telling me
nobody told him anything about this at all.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
The Biden Biden can't in White House is putting an
alibi out to the media that he just didn't know.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Well that by the way of him, if it were
actually true. But I don't even buy that.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
All right, But I mean, at this point, you can
say that Joe Biden is not aware of and fill
in the blank with anything, and I think there's a
pretty solid argument that it could be true, right, And
that's that is not an exaggeration. You could tell me
that Joe Biden, you know, forgot the forgot the name
of I don't know his grandkids or something, uh, and
still can't remember it, and I would say, yeah, no,
(22:28):
I get it, like the guy he's at that stage
of life. Okay, that is the reality of Joe Biden. Okay,
but let's look at this Kamala issue. For second, Clay,
this is this shows exactly why the plan had been
until recently. Hide Kamala, let NBC News, let CBS News,
(22:50):
let The New York Times pretend she is a different
human being in public life, Pretend everything that she has
said and everything we know about her no longer counts.
The reason is her political instincts are terrible to decide
in this moment that, first of all, it's not like
(23:12):
she was picking a fight with an unpopular Republican governor,
a Republican governor who hasn't shown a particular ability to
be best in class. When you're talking disaster response, Ronda,
if you said to me, Buck, you know there's gonna
be a severe a hurricane, any sort of severe weather
event like that, and any honesty of any kind anywhere
(23:34):
in the country, who's the first governor that comes to mind,
I'd say Ron De Santis, and I think that there's
a lot of evidence.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
That you'd support that.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
For her to say I called Ron DeSantis and he
didn't take my call. First of all, shows a weird
sollipsism from Kamala, like this isn't about you, which I
think Ron already Governor de Santis already made that point
very well. But beyond that, Clay, Okay, what is she
to do on the call? Well, yeah, she's a is
(24:03):
she the is she the disaster response zar like she was?
The borders are No, there's nothing in her purview. There's
no reason. If Ron de Santis wasn't taking it wasn't
in communication with FEMA and Biden, then maybe Kamala could
could have an opening here.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
There's no opening for this, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I mean, you know, if I called some college football coach,
I'm like, I've got great plays that you need to
listen to me on and they didn't take my call,
I'd be an idiot to complain about that. That's where
Kamala is right now.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
We've got Ron DeSantis responding to Kamala, by the way,
which is cut three. Oh yeah, this just happened earlier today.
I did not have Ron DeSantis and Joe Biden double
clotheslining Kamala Harris on my expected outcome list when I
knew that there was a hurricane coming.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
But this is just what a disaster it has been.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Listen to DeSantis cut three, just a blo literate Kamala Harris.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
The fact of the matter is they put out a
story saying I didn't take I don't even know she
was trying to reach me. But she has no role
in this process.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
And I've been.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
Dealing with these storms in Florida under both Trump and Biden.
Neither of them ever politicized it. So what she's doing
is she's trying to inject herself into this because of
her political campaign. So is the governor here who's leading this.
I don't have time for those games. I don't care
about her campaign. Obviously, I'm not a supporter of hers.
She has no role in this process, and so I'm
(25:31):
working with the people I need to be working with,
and for her to try to say that my focus
should be on catering to her rather than roaring about
my own people, just so she doesn't understand what it
means to respond to these natural disasters.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm clay who burns their hand on the stove here
and then puts their hand on the stove again, Like
keeps going back to the issue that she's lost on
this issue she has. There is no opening for her here.
There is no oh, oh, well, maybe Ron could have
No he's already and she she thinks that she's gonna
somehow turn this around is it is a completely unforced
(26:10):
error from Kamala Harris. When she can't afford to be
making unforced errors, she can't afford to be doing anything
other than, you know, running the table right now.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I think it's important to think how a story like
this emerges, because she's gotten obliterated now from Biden and
from DeSantis over this. But how did this story start?
Remember they decided to attack Ron DeSantis for not returning
her phone call. None of us would have known, right.
(26:39):
She did a press availability by her airplane that we
played for you a couple of days ago, where she
walked over and she said Ron DeSantis needs to stop
playing politics I'm paraphrasing here, and needs to return my
phone call. And then the DeSantis team was asked about
this because nobody would have known about it but Foramala,
(27:00):
and they said, we didn't know anything about this phone call. Now,
I don't know who Kamala called or how that process
was put in place, but when they didn't return the
phone call, Kamala's team had two options. One was, hey,
it's a hurricane, let's just ignore it. We can say
that we tried to reach out and we offered as
much help as we possibly could, and then that'll just
(27:22):
put it to bed, or we can just not even
talk about it very much and just say, hey, we're
working with Trump, sorry, with Biden to try to handle
everything going on with the hurricane. Instead, they tried to
score political points and it's just blown up in their
face and it's led and I don't buy. I appreciate
the fact that NBC News is saying, oh, Joe Biden
(27:42):
didn't know about this. Come on that two days in
a row, he responded to a direct question about Kamala
Harris and Ron Desanti's just think Buck, if you got it.
If you were in a press conference and you got
asked a question and you truly didn't know about it,
which would be an indictment of you as the president, right,
wouldn't you walk immediately out of the press conference and
(28:05):
be like, hey, what was that question about with Kamala
and DeSantis?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
What's the story there?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
If his staff didn't tell him immediately after the first answer,
then that they are completely failing in their behavior.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
He never takes questions. He took questions on it two
days in a row.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
He knows maybe they don't want it to blow up
like it has, right, But well, this is just the story.
This is a passive aggressive shot from the Biden camp
when Kamala Harris needs all the support she can get
and then some you know, if you really try to
explain in the final weeks here, what is the what
is the last minute pitch? You know, what is the
(28:44):
closing argument of the Kamala campaign. Democracy is at stake.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's just that's just to.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Use this, that's just cult talking points that no one,
no one who's still thinking or whatever, is going to
be moved by that. I mean, really, we'll see on abortion,
but I would think that given every blue state has abortioned,
you know, more abortion freedom or more liberal abortion laws,
whatever you want to say, than anywhere in the world
(29:15):
except for North Korea and China.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
So I don't know. I see this, and I know
that there are a lot of.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
People that they'll just vote because of the party affiliation
that they've always had. And that's why we're talking about
a very small group overall. But Clay, you are starting
to see some breaks in the damn here of Democrats support.
For example, our friend Ryan Grodoski points out on Twitter,
you ready for this, everybody both The New York Times
(29:44):
and the Washington Post poll have Trump winning between twenty
and twenty four percent of the Black vote. That would
be big. Then you are talking popular vote in play
for a Trump win. I mean Trump absolutely. If Trump
gets twenty four percent of the Black vote, I still
(30:05):
don't think that's going to happen, sadly, but if he does,
this election is a total wipeout for Kamala Harris and
the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Back in the day, we had a stake bet. I
wasn't even that aggressive. I said, I thought, and I
still do that Trump will get twenty five percent of
the Black male vote. That is, I think Trump's gonna
just absolutely dominate with men, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, everybody
out there who is male, I believe, by and large
(30:36):
overwhelmingly rejecting Kamala. And if it's twenty to twenty four
percent overall, that means he's getting a decent percentage of
black female vote too, which I don't think Trump is.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Going to get over vote.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I don't think he's going to get over twenty percent
of the Black vote overall. So I feel confident in
that or not that I wish I wish you'd get
you know, ninety percent of the black vote. But I
don't think he's going to get twenty percent of the
black vote. But if he even gets fifteen percent, that
would be substantial. I mean, these are not numbers that
Republicans generally see. So that is an indicator.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
The entire identity politics buck to your point on indication
collapses if Democrats don't get ninety percent of the black vote,
their math doesn't math if they don't get ninety percent
of the black vote.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
All right, we'll come back to this here just a second.
You know, my fellow gun owners, it's a lot of
stuff to weighe through in the way of new firearms
and brands. When you want to add to your collection. Now,
I know you're like me. You want high quality firearms,
and you want them to be accurate. You want them
to be well made, feel good in your hands, and
to be reliable for when you need them at the range,
for whenever you need them. But my choice these days
(31:46):
is Bear Creek Arsenal. The last three firearms I have
added to my collection have all been Bear Creek Arsenal
okay less three for three now and Bear Creek is
one of the newer companies in the firearms industry, I
mean companies of the firems industry. They've been around for
hundreds of years, right but Bear Creek is building their
brand by producing great stuff. A lot of word of
(32:08):
mouth out there in the two a community for people

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Welcome back in play Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We're joined now by
man we hope it's the next next Senator from the
state of Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick. He is running right now
against Casey who's been there for a long time, and
he is campaigning in Pittsburgh with Senator Sullivan of Alaska.
And I believe we had Senator Sullivan on this show recently,
(33:40):
so we appreciate him being out on the road with you.
But Dave, what are you seeing out there on the road.
We know the momentum for you is through the roof,
the amount of fundraising you've been doing, the crowds, everything else.
What are you seeing in Pennsylvania for your race for
Trump and for the possibility of Pennsylvania as a state
(34:03):
that can decide not only the presidency but the Senate.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
Hey, guys, thanks thanks for having me. You know I
feel a real momentum shift on the ground. And I
think what happened is Kamala Harris had a sugar high.
But what's happening is Pennsylvania is getting to know Kamala
Harris and they what they're finding out is he is
a San Francisco liberal with an extreme agenda. And you know,
I think Pennsylvania's maybe the one place where it would
(34:30):
have been better for the Democrats that have Joe Biden
because Grant and Joe had all these connections to labor
and the Democratic infrastructure. So what you're seeing is, you know,
President Trump is here all the time, he was, did
two rallies yesterday. I think he's got great momentum. He's
turning out the vote. I think people that see Harris
are starting to recognize she's not qualified and is much
(34:53):
too liberal for Pennsylvania. And then in my race, they
know that Bob Casey is a thirty year career politician.
This is a guy who who, when the bullet starts lying,
ducks his head and has voted for his week. He's
voted for this extreme liberal agenda of Biden and Harris
ninety nine percent of the time, and he'll do the
(35:13):
same with Harris Waltz. So that's why you see this shift.
My pulling's all closing. I feel great momentum on the ground,
and I think, I think we keep this up, we're
gonna win.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
How much are you seeing?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I mean, I think you're in a phase here where Democrats, generally, Dave,
are a little cornered and feeling a little desperate in
a lot of places. Clenn Iver was talking beforehand, We're
hopeful that you will be joining him on this endit.
But it looks like Tim Sheehey, for example, is just
blowing out incumbent Tesla and Montana.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
So there's some.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Really good trends right now.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
The wind seems to be at the back of top
tier GOP candidates, including you. Looks like you're really close
to being able to pull this out against Casey, which
would be the Democrats would be upset about this one, Dave,
which would be great. The more upset they are, the
happier we are. Are they trying to pull last minute
abortion stuff. I'm just wondering, what is the desperation playbook
(36:09):
for Casey in Pennsylvania? Is it I'm not really a Democrat,
I'm a maverick.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
What are they doing.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I'm just want to be familiar with where they are.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
Well, the starting point is just, you know, they have
more money. I mean, I've raised a lot of money
and I'm a wealth finance candidate, and I'll be outspent
by one hundred million dollars in Pennsylvania. With attack ads
on all sorts of lies regarding my Pennsylvania roots, my
business career, abortion, just one lie after another. It makes
you you just can't believe the amount of lying. So
(36:40):
that's the first thing they're doing. And then Bob Casey
really doesn't have a record to defend because he's been
a real failure as a senator. So ninety percent of
his campaign is about attacking me. But I don't think
it's working. And the reason I don't think it's working
is because people want to know they have leadership that's
going to take him in the right direction. And that's
(37:00):
why the polls are closing. The second thing in the
great twist of fate, I was with Trump yesterday and
I mentioned this to him. Bob Casey's actually running an
ad saying that he worked with President Trump to put.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
The China tariffs in place.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
I mean, it's just so ridiculous. President Trump is like,
I don't think I've ever met Bob Casey. What's he
looked like? I mean, this is this is absolutely shows
you vulnerability.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
And then and then.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
Bob Casey's flipping all his positions a good example. It
may seem small, but in Pennsylvania it's big. Bob Casey's
been opposed to whole milk in schools. The farmers hate him.
The dairy farmers in particular hate him because.
Speaker 6 (37:37):
He's not been for this.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
He sort of bought into Michelle Obama's ridiculous ideas that
we should take whole milk out of schools. And just
last week he flip flopped on this issue. He's flip
flopped on many issues.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
He's all of a.
Speaker 7 (37:48):
Sudden a strong supporter of fracking, even though he's been
a foe of fracking in every way. Possibly you can
ban fracking, well without ever banning fracking. You just have
rightations and red tape and lawsuits and and don't do anything.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
And that's exactly what he's done.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
So he's starting it. He's starting it to panic and
I think that's right where we want him. And you know,
I've got a experience with this in wrestling. I you know,
I wrestled in college. I was the co cabinet team
and army. I would always know if I could get
into the third period within a point or two, I'd win,
because the third period is not about wrestling. It's about
(38:27):
mental toughness. It's about heart, it's about staying in offense.
It's about just keeping pressure on this guy. And he's
under pressure. He's never had this before, and I think
that's why he's waving.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
You absolutely rocked him. I watched the debate. I thought
you did a fantastic job. I'd encourage people to check
it out if they haven't. I'm coming up with you.
I know you've got a billion events between now and then,
but I want our audience to know you and I
are going to be doing an event surrounding the Penn
State Ohio State game on November two, that's the Saturday
(39:02):
before the election. I think if I've got that date right,
and we're gonna be in State College.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
There are events, and there are events.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
This is Clay Travis, Penn State, Ohio State, a white out,
a huge tailgate. You and I say in America, that's
what this is about. No, this is gonna be epic.
I'm so glad you're coming, and it's gonna be fun.
We're gonna have a huge turnout, and it's going to
be three days before the election, so this is going
(39:32):
to be a big one.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Yeah, so people out there who are college football fans
and also people who believe that we need to take
the country back. I will be there. I cannot wait.
That's going to be an awful lot of fun. I
did want to ask you associated with that you were
at the Butler rally when Trump was shot July thirteenth.
You mentioned you went to West Point, you were at Army,
You've been around and heard a lot of gunshots over
(39:55):
the years. What did it feel like to be back
in Butler. What was that experience like for you?
Speaker 7 (40:03):
Well, you know, as you know, that was was quite
an experience the first time because I had gone up
on the stage and then President Trump had asked me
to sit back down because he wanted to talk about
the border and then have me back up later and
the bulliss follows soon thereafter. This was you know, I
have two reactions to the second Butler rally. One was
you just feel this enormous sense of both relief, but recognition.
(40:26):
It's a time for straint. And the President Trump we
saw on that stage at the first Butler rally shot
under fire. I know Senator Sullivan knows the same thing.
When one hundred people get shot, at ninety nine of
them stay down and it takes a rare person to
stand up. And President Trump stood up on that day
and showed a lot of courage, and I think that's
what people want more than anything else, is strained. Second
(40:48):
reaction was I sat next to the Compertour family, his
widow and his two daughters. Once twenty eight was twenty four.
As you know, Clay, I have six daughters, and it
was just heart wrenching. I mean, they were so I think,
honored to have their father paid such tribute as an
American hero who threw himself in front of them and
(41:09):
saved their lives. But it was also just you know,
a family that lost lost dad, lost a husband, and
seeing it through their eyes the tribute to their husband,
Corey the father, but also just the sadness.
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Of the loss.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Was it really it almost hit me much more by
being with them than the first rally did, even though I.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Know, you know, we had lost his life. Seeing it
like that really really left the mark.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Speaking to Davi McCormick, he's running for a critical Senate
seat in Pennsylvania. Battleground Pennsylvania the most important state in
this election, it seems by far across the board, both
of the presidency and then obviously very important Senate battle
underway there. Amazing to hear that you're being outspent by,
not that he's spending one hundred million dollars, that you're
(41:59):
being out spent by one hundred million dollars. I know
that the presidential side of this is three hundred and
fifty million. I mean, I don't be the money being
thrown into these media buys has got to be crazy.
Tell me this, though, when you do you come across,
When you come across, I'm sure you do, because you're
out there doing what you do and campaigning, and you
(42:20):
know it's it's the absolute sprint part of this campaign, Dave.
When you come across and undecided, or when someone comes
up to you and says, I like you, but I'm
not sure yet. You know what I mean, I'm sure
you have this. What do they need to know or
what do they want to know that they don't yet
that can push them over the line. Do you know
what I'm saying, Like, when you come across one of
these undecideds, what are they undecided about at this point?
Speaker 7 (42:43):
Well, I think it's I'm still you know, I'm running
against the dynasty. And people ask me about that, and
I say, the thing about dynasties.
Speaker 6 (42:50):
Is they all end at some point. And so people
who I am, so.
Speaker 7 (42:55):
I talk about three things. I say, Basically, you know
the country's going in the wrong direction, and most people
agree with that. I say, this is a choice between
a seventh generation of Pennsylvanian and outsider, a business guy
at a west point, grab a combat bet against someone
who's been a career politician, who's been weak, and who
has voted for these extreme liberal policies. And then I
(43:16):
end by saying, listen, if you think the status quo
is okay, then you should probably vote for center Casey.
You're going to get more of that. If you think
we're in trouble, do you think we need change, you
think we need someone who's going to fight for Pennsylvanian,
doesn't know anybody anything other than Pennsylvanians, then I'm your guy.
And that seems to convince most of those folks on
(43:36):
the fence that they should take a chance on new leadership.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
We're talking to Dave McCormick. I'm curious in Pennsylvania political
circles Democrat, Republican, Independent, are there people starting to look
around saying, what in the world was kammal of thinking
picking Tim Walls instead of potentially Josh Shapiro the governor there?
Because there have to be you have to come across
not only at tabuk point people who are trying to
decide how they're going to vote, but even Democrats have
(44:04):
to be a little bit panicked right now with what
they're seeing right.
Speaker 7 (44:07):
Well, totally Well, I'd say Sener Sliv and I were
just talking about that. I'd say two things. One just
is a political matter. I think it was a bad calculus.
I mean, I think Governor Shapiro, who he and I
have a number of disagreements, but he's a very able
person and he would have been very strong in Pennsylvania,
and he's very very strong nationally in supporting that ticket.
Speaker 6 (44:27):
But I think it says a lot about the Democratic Party.
Speaker 7 (44:30):
I think it's impossible to imagine that the fact that
Governor Shapiro is Jewish didn't factor into her thinking. Yeah,
because she did not want to alienate the extreme elements
of her party. And I think that's really all you
need to know about where that party is and what
kind of decision maker she is that she wouldn't pick
someone who's far more able and far more capable of
(44:52):
stepping into the presidency than what Governor Walts is demonstrating
every day, which is he's.
Speaker 6 (44:58):
Just in over his head.
Speaker 7 (44:59):
This is not the guy who's ready to assume the
mantle of leadership. And certainly that couple with Kamala Harris,
who's proving in every day with every interview, that she's
not capable of taking the mandol leadership. I think it
was a miscalculation that showed weakness and moral.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Failure, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
Look what in the very end here, Dave, we got
a few weeks, We've got you know, the ballots are
already being filled out, sent in all this stuff in
different states. What can people do? We have a lot
of listeners in Pennsylvania. We could have just taken an
hour of calls, the first hour of people calling in
from Pennsylvania. What can people do to help both push
(45:38):
you President Trump and other Republicans across the finish line here.
Speaker 7 (45:44):
Well, first, when I talk about me and my race,
everything you do for me and other candidates really helps
us up and down the ballots. This is a team sport,
and so I'm so grateful for all the support that
we're getting. And we got to have a big turnout.
And so for you listening, you must vote. You can't
not vote, that's the first thing. But you've got to
get other people to vote, people to register, people to
(46:05):
get out there, people.
Speaker 6 (46:06):
To submit their ballots early.
Speaker 7 (46:08):
Not take a risk of bad weather that day, and
convince people who are Republicans to get out there, and
convince people that are independents or Democrats who aren't you know,
who are on the fence that we need good, good
leadership to take us forward. I'm a Republican, I'm a conservative,
but I'm running to represent all Pennsylvanians and.
Speaker 6 (46:28):
We need leadership and change.
Speaker 7 (46:30):
And these these problems, the sky high prices, the fentanyl crisis,
the war on fossil fuites, these are these are problems
that affect every single Pennsylvanian. And uh so I'm hoping
we can get people listening today to be energized again.
Dave MCCORMICKPA dot com for details about my campaign, my positions,
an opportunity to volunteer there for people want to volunteer,
(46:53):
but we got we got to energize our voters because
this is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 4 (46:59):
Day mclempa dot com. You just heard it there. I
will be with him in PA in a couple of weeks.
We may need to get you on again before that,
but certainly I look forward to seeing you in State College,
PA for that big game and helping to also win
back the country.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Keep up the good work.
Speaker 7 (47:15):
Thanks guys, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
No doubt that's Dave McCormick. I think he's going to
be your next senator from Pennsylvania. If you guys listening
in Pennsylvania, all show up, get those ballots in.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Look.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
I want you to learn how to diversify your savings
and your IRA account with the purchase of physical gold.
You don't need to be a sophisticated investor to accomplish this,
just a pragmatic one. Investing a portion of it in
gold is one way of making sure your value doesn't
evaporate slowly over time and that's what happens when you
have your savings account in an all cash position. Ongoing
(47:45):
inflation caused by runaway government spending causes our dollars to
lose value. The current price of gold one indication of
why this deserves your consideration. Long term picture of gold's
value just is reinforcing, and that's why we trust the
people at Perch Gold Group to help us. Pirch Gold

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Got Joe Biden speaking about the hurricane aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
As I was saying in the first hour, the tornadoes
turned out to be certainly the most visually shocking.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
Thing from it.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
The storm surge does not seem to be anywhere near
what was initially anticipated when it was at a category
five hundred and eighty mile an hour storm. So that
was good news for the Tampa area. Look, it still
still came in a category two. I think six lives confirmed,
lost a lot of property damage. Scary situation, but not
(49:37):
the catastrophic hurricane that was being forecast. So that's, you
know what, We'll take what we can here. That's better
than expected in terms of what could have happened. Helene,
on the other hand, far worse, I believe than anybody
was anticipating. That has taken hundreds of lives, and we're
(50:00):
still hoping that there will be a lot of areas
that get substantially more resources and help rebuilding. So Biden
speaking about that, right now I think, Clay, it will
be a shorter amount, you know, focusing now on the
political shorter amount of time spent on this in the
(50:20):
in the final weeks here of the election, then would
have been the case if this had been a massive
you know, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, what was the huge
one in Houston, Remember the really bad hurricane that hid
and just dumped all that water on it. Anyway, some
of these hurricanes that have been massive catastrophes that have
(50:41):
lasted for four weeks on end.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
Was it Harvey? If it was Harvey? Right?
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Anyway, we are following this looking at this still, and
the only real political back and forth on it has
been Kamala Harris making a mess of things and I
think just creating a negative news cycle for herself for
no reason. It's remarkable that she thought it was a
(51:06):
good idea to go out there. One thing I did
want to point out, Clay. You may have seen and
I tweeted about this Bill Nye, the science guy. They
trot this guy out there. He's a little bit like
Greta Thunberg.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
He has no.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
Particular expertise of any kind when it comes to climate,
when it comes to natural sciences. The guy has an
undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell. Okay, so there
you have it. But he dresses like a nerd, so
we're supposed to think that he knows about this stuff.
(51:44):
The level of desperation to politicize these weather events, which
is what they are, is something that I guess it
never ceases to amaze me at some level. This has
cut six the science guy, like I said, just because
he wears a lab coat and already glasses, you're supposed
to say, oh, this guy must know a lot about
the science, says. If you want to stop hurricanes, vote
(52:06):
for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
Play it the other side, as we often call it.
Speaker 12 (52:10):
This plan has no plans to address climate change, no
plans for long term dealing with these sorts of problems.
If you have young voters out there, encourage them to vote.
People say what can I do about climate change? If
we were talking about it associating it with big storms
(52:30):
like this, that would be really good.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
But the main thing is vote Clay.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
I just want to note you know you've told me
about some of the political betting that has been legal.
One of the things that gets me excited about that
is I want to start being able to place bets
versus the climate change community. They're always wrong. They are
always wrong. Everything they say is untrue. Every prediction they
have is incorrect. They're not sometimes there are one hundred.
(52:57):
Their record is untarnished at perfection in wrongness. Even if
you believe what they believe, which is insane, which is
that the world is going to end and we're gonna
have nothing but hurricane events and all these terrible things.
Even if you believe it, their plans or the Kamala
Harris plans would do nothing. It would all do nothing
to address the imaginary challenge that they think we face.
Speaker 4 (53:21):
Not only that, I would just like for someone to
push back against Bill Nay sometimes and point this fact out.
Warming of the planet actually makes people less likely to die.
That is, extreme cold kills far more people than extreme
(53:42):
heat does. Have you seen these studies that no one
will even talk about. We're actually if you are convinced
that the climate is going to kill you, a warming
planet actually makes you safer as a human than a
cooling climate does. And whatever you think of the world,
(54:02):
what really bothers me about about the climate catastrophists buck
is these people are so convinced that the world is
in danger from climate change that a lot of them
have decided they don't want to have families.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
They don't want to have kids.
Speaker 4 (54:17):
What is your living for goal if you're not having kids,
if you believe the world's going to end. And don't
even get me started on all of the climate catastrophists
who continue to take private jets all over the world
that are emitting unbelievable amounts of pollution and greenhouse gases
and everything else. They care so much about the fate
(54:40):
of the planet, but not enough to have to fly
on a commercial airline. No, it's just like that that
is a step too far in their own personal life.
That these people just are mentally unstable. And I think
you said, and I think this is true. Climate change
is a religion for people who think that religion is
not worth having.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
Yes, this is it is purely now religious in nature.
Speaker 7 (55:03):
It is.
Speaker 2 (55:03):
It is a faith based tradition, not a science or
evidence based tradition. I'm out here in la where I
know that there's an obsession with this. I think this
is probably this is the Vatican City of climate change.
Out here is this is the mecca of climate change.
This is where you know, this is where it all
all focuses in on that they're going to all switch
to evs and this stuff, all these all this legislation,
(55:25):
all of it will be abandoned, amended. You look at
the what was the Paris climate Climate Agreement. None of
the European countries are actually hitting those targets, and the
whole thing is a scam. It's a but some people
become so rich on it. I mean I almost respect
the hustle if I didn't despise what they were doing
to the economy into people's freedom so much, it's amazing.
(55:46):
With people like al Gore, the the before Fauci is
certainly the biggest science phony in history, or at least
in my lifetime.
Speaker 3 (55:55):
Al Gore again, another guy who what does he know.
Speaker 1 (55:57):
About any of this?
Speaker 13 (55:58):
Oh I like to give speeches about climate change. The
guy knows nothing. It is absurd. Greta Thunberg was a
sixteen year old girl who CNN was sitting down with, like, Oh,
tell us about what's going to happen unless we change
trillions of dollars of economic output to fit your little
childish fantasy here about how the world can all run
(56:20):
on green and they.
Speaker 2 (56:22):
Taught her, they treated her seriously. That's a sixteen year
old girl. A lot of it is worship of toddler.
Why don't we have a climate change toddler who is like,
you know, the little mini Dali Lama of climate change
and just go all in on this madness.
Speaker 3 (56:35):
People should be ashamed of their stupidity that they keep.
Speaker 2 (56:38):
Believing this stuff. This is one of those ones where
I will dig in against anybody. And I know in
La you get a lot of this stuff on the coast,
he get a lot of this stuff clay. But it's
funny because they say, like, oh, the Trump campaign is
politicizing the hurricane. The Democrats are saying, if we don't
all start you know, putting solar panels on our houses,
(56:59):
in taking bicycles everywhere, we're not taking it.
Speaker 1 (57:02):
This is absurd.
Speaker 4 (57:03):
Look, I'm going to be in Ashville tomorrow doing our show.
The reality is I wish we would have conversations about
how to help people who have been harmed by these
storms instead of trying to argue like Bill n I did, Oh,
this is all a function of global warming. The data
actually reflects and I know people don't want to talk
(57:24):
about data. I believe the deadliest and most destructive decade
of hurricanes in the state of Florida's history, modern history
that we can measure, Buck, was the nineteen forties. And
you guys out there that are experts on hurricanes can
let me know if I've got this wrong. But I
enjoy reading just to try to make myself more intelligent
(57:47):
about a variety of subjects. They can't explain why the
nineteen forties, long before we would have ever thought about
global warming, was so incredibly destructive to Florida. I think
the reality is that there are just weather events that
we are more aware of than we ever have been before.
(58:08):
And Buck, the reality of this is also what were
you watching last night? I was watching the Weather Channel.
I put on the Weather Channel because I wanted to
know what Milton's impact was going to be. I was
watching Major League Baseball flipping back and forth. And we
as humans are innately drawn to weather related phenomena and events.
(58:30):
The media has become certainly aware of that because they
look at ratings, and that's why they send everybody to
stand in the water and stand in the wind, because
we can't look away because it is in some ways
enticing and exciting to see weather related events on television.
This is, by the way, not just hurricanes or snowstorms
(58:51):
or anything else. Do you know what drives ratings in
football buck snow. If they have snow games, people can't
turn it off. The more snow that falls during a
football game, the more people watch. It's captivating in some
way to be able to see. And I got a
little bit of a funny clip because I know Hurricane
Milton is very serious and we're wishing everybody the best.
(59:14):
And I'm going to be a middle of Hurricane Helene tomorrow.
I'm gonna be at our Asheville affiliate. I cannot wait.
I will be flying over a helicopter seeing everything. I'll
be able to hopefully raise money. We're doing that Friday
night in Knoxville for everybody out there that is struggling.
But I was watching last night and I know our
guys grabbed it. We talked sports analogies. Sometimes one of
(59:36):
these weather forecast guys gave a analogy to what he
thought the second half of the storm was going to
be like. And unfortunately, if you were an Atlanta Falcons fan,
you just got absolutely wiped out.
Speaker 1 (59:51):
This is cut eight buck. You can't escape sports.
Speaker 4 (59:54):
I don't know if you saw this, but I was
watching this live last night on the Weather Channel when
it happened.
Speaker 9 (59:59):
We definitely joint the little halftime show that both the
nature gave us inside Milton. But now we got the
second half, and you know, I got to remind everyone
you might.
Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Still be in the eye right now. There's a lot
more to go.
Speaker 9 (01:00:10):
I think back to, you know, the Atlanta Falcons first
half Super Bowl winner. We know what happened to the
second half when the Patriots came back to life. So
do not sleep on the second half of Milton. The
second half of Milton Buck for you. You need a
sports translation there. The Falcons were up twenty eight three
on Tom Brady and the Patriots. They ended up losing,
(01:00:31):
And I was just thinking to myself as I'm watching
the hurricane, some poor Atlanta Falcons fan hadn't been thinking
about that game for a long time.
Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
And then boom.
Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
The meteorologist uses it as an analogy to illustrate how
things can change in the second half of the storm
can be dangerous but positive.
Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
In the midst of all this, it seems.
Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
Like the damage so far from Milton is not the
category five monstrosity that everybody was afraid of, and that
it seems like Florida Rohn DeSantis, everybody else is gonna
be able to recover.
Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
We're hopefully sooner read than later.
Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Yes, so we'll take some of your calls here coming
up eight hundred and two A two two AA two.
Also VIP emails go to Clay and Buck dot com.
Sign up for that. Send us your VIP thoughts. We
were just talking about the hurricanes. We are witnessing so
many events right now that you just need to be
prepared for hurricanes, the disruptions they create. In times like these,
(01:01:26):
preparation and communication are key. So one of the newest
sponsors here we have can help you with that. I've
got them at home. We use them in the aftermath.
My family did in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. My
family in New York now has them. We have not
forgotten about Hurricane Sandy up in New York. Remember, you
need to prepare now.
Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
And plus you.
Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Can use these just as a convenience too. Rapid radios,
I mean you can talk to people. I was Clay
and our Clay's wife Laura and my father in law
were having a chat in real time, just push to talk.
They work amazingly well. Rapid Radios provide walkie talkie like
operation on a nationwide LTE network. It's not a cell phone,
but it easily connects you with family members and friends
(01:02:06):
far away with one touch connection. These are not your
average walkie talkies and only connect within a few hundred
yards of each other. My father in law was in
Ashville and Laura was in Nashville, so that was easy
for them to have a chat. No subscription costs or
monthly fees for these walkie talkies, true walkie talkie ease
with all the connectivity and technology of today. Go to

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Clay Travis at buck Sexton.
Speaker 8 (01:02:46):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Welcome in everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Thursday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Off right now. This election is underway.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
There is actual voting going on right now, early voting
in Pennsylvania. Do we know how many states, Clay, have
you talied it? It's a bunch, right. Early voting is
underway in some places, which means that the votes. Did
you know, I don't even know the number? Off you
know what I actually printed out and have it. This
is how much of a nerd I am? I have
(00:31):
it printed out. It is on the counter in our
kitchen because I wanted to be able to see. That's
how much of a nerd I am? I have the
whole thing see printed out of the hotail. Yeah, I
knew he'd have it somewhere, So we'll get it to
you later on this hour when Clay runs to grab
some crocket coffee. He will also be able to tell
us every place where there's early voting.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
But just to bring.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Into our conversation how much this is really happening right now,
that election twenty twenty four is in process. It's kind
of weird, right you think of it as election day,
But as we've been telling you. No, no, no, no,
Go vote early wherever you can, wherever it is legal
to do so, obviously, go vote early. We've also got
(01:13):
updates on Hurricane Milton. I am coming to you all
from Los Angeles, So I am out here in LA
doing the Bill Maher Show tomorrow night. It will be
It will be a good and robust exchange of ideas.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
They pick your outfit or did carry pick your outfit
for TV tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Carrie had outfit approval. I am not.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I do not work unless someone says you must wear
a tie for something, and I care about their opinion.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I do not wear ties. So okay, didn't.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Carrie weight in no tie? Early preview for you on
Bill Maher, which I'm I mean that that should be fun,
like that should be interesting to see how it goes.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Have you ever had a live audience boo you before?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I don't mean boo you like a sports thing where
they're kidding because you're like I actually no, but they're
actually mad at you.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
No, I've only had it.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I've had it happen a bunch in sports where I've
picked against a team that is it's.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Playful, but it's playful. No, I'm talking about you.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
When you're a conservative on Bill Maher, you can get
an audience that boos you, and they rarely are booing you.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So anyway, don't worry. I'm prepared for that.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
In fact, if I don't get a little hiss or
boo from the audience, I'll feel like I haven't quite
done my job.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
But nonetheless, out here in LA I.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Bring that up because I'm not close to what has
gone on in Florida, but obviously a lot of my
friends and family are. We have an update on Hurricane Milton.
It seems I know they're still surveying the damage the tornadoes,
which the footage of it, some of it looks like
it's fake. Some of these tornadoes. There were tornadoes popping
(02:49):
up in parts of Florida that looked like something from
the movie Twister, or look like something you would expect,
you know, in a flat midwestern state tornado alley. But
the tornadoes unfortunately, four people confirmed dead, a lot of damage.
I mean, the hurricane hit I think at a category
two level, not a Category four or five. But we're
(03:11):
still taking stock of what the damage is. Relief efforts underway,
and we'll bring you the latest on that. Throughout the show.
But this is really the still in the early hours
are after that that incident, so and Helene and the
efforts to with Helene continues. I wonder which is going
to be Helene, as we know, already has fatalities.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
That are in the deadly hurricane since Katrina, Katrina. Glad
you brought that up.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Buck, I will be at our Nashville at our Ashville
affiliate in North Carolina tomorrow. So I am flying in
on a helicopter because I think it's almost impossible to
land in Ashville. They are going to in the helicopter
fly me over the area and the damage. I will
be there live from yon to three in our Ashville affiliate.
(04:01):
I appreciate them hosting me. I'm gonna hope to give
you guys a first hand account of what I have seen.
And then Buck, we are raising money on Friday for
Hurricane Helen victims in East Tennessee Knoxville at the Yeehaw
Brewery downtown Knoxville. There for anyone that is going to
be in town that lives in Knoxville, East Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Florida,
(04:23):
Tennessee have a big game and so we're trying to
shine a spotlight.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
We'll be doing a lot of that tomorrow. Now.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I didn't get a chance to talking about it yesterday
Clay Clay had had the show, So I will weigh
in and know that some of this we've probably already
touched on a bit.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I was on a flight yesterday, but.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Clay Kamala is having a panic moment. I think the
whole campaign is honest Democrats Mark Halpern. When I say honest,
I don't mean they're honest in everything, like, oh, you
can trust these Democrats. I mean those who are being
honest when it comes to the state of this election.
Recognize that the numbers are not only against Kamala, they
(05:07):
are trending clearly against Kamala at this point. So you know,
there's there's a lot that we can get to. One
of the components of this is Pennsylvania. Early voting is
underway right now in Pennsylvania. This is cut ten Donald
Trump telling everybody get after it, don't wait, get there.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
To the polls.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It is even with Trump with good numbers, even with
things trending in the right direction, it's going to be
close when all is said and done. In these critical
battleground states Play ten.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Early voting is underway now. So when the polls open tomorrow,
don't wait. Go immediately go as soon as you can.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
If you want, you go.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Some people want to wait. They want to wait till
that beautiful Tuesday, that day that's going to be the
most important day in the history of oh I believe,
you know, I really believe that.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I think we're gonna win Pennsylvania. We're leading in all
the polls. I shouldn't tell you that. I shouldn't tell you.
I should say we're down one.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
We're down one. Get out of it now. We're doing well
in Pennsylvania. We're doing well in Michigan. We're doing well
in Arizona, Nevada.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
We're doing well everywhere.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
We're doing well in places that are Republican hasn't won
in years. We're doing well everywhere because people are looking
at the people that are destroying our country. They say,
we're not going to take it anymore. If we win Pennsylvania,
we win the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's over right, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's all it takes. They win Pennsylvania unless something crazy happens. Clay,
that's ballgame.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well and I'm glad Trump is saying get out and vote, Bucket.
Yesterday you were traveling cross country. I spent a lot
of time, and some of you are going to get
tired of hearing us say it, but this is voting time.
We have a voting season. You may not like it personally, Buck,
I wish everybody had to show up with their ID
in their hand at their local polling place on election day.
(07:14):
I think that's the way to have the most secure
possible elections. So I agree with all of you. We've
talked about this. My wife is volunteering and is going
to spend all day Election day at our local polling
place checking id's everything else. We talked about how to
volunteer for everybody out there. But we have election season
and it is time to take advantage of the opportunities
(07:38):
in front of us. If you are fed up, and
we certainly are fed up on this show, and we
know most of you are as well, with the decisions
of Kamala and Biden, then it's time to show consequences.
I want Rachel Maddow crying at eleven o'clock Eastern Buck.
I want to make this too big to rig I
(07:59):
want there to be big time margins rolling in. Everybody's saying, hey,
we're going to take a week. It's going to take
a bunch of days. How amazing would it be if
on election Day those of you in New Hampshire show
up and vote for Trump, and suddenly on election Night
we start to get some results in states that people
aren't even really putting on the board, and we see, boy,
(08:22):
Trump's gonna win. How great would that be two Sea
in Virginia for all of you listening to us throughout Virginia.
If those numbers are coming in and we're seeing it's
going to be tight buck. I think Trump is doing
a big rally at Madison Square Garden. He is also
going to do a big rally in southern California. I
think the Trump team doesn't just think they can win.
(08:45):
I think they believe they can win the popular vote.
And look, it's two seventy.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I was gonna say that that would be the closest
thing that Trump can get to a mandate, if there's
such a thing. And people always argue about what constitutes
an electoral mandate, but if he were to win the
popular vote, that would be that would be in normous
last time Republicans was a two thousand and four, is
that it's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, But it.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Also factors into what is happening in the big blue strongholds.
They're trending red, they're not trending red enough or you know,
trending toward more Republicans that we're gonna win them, okay,
And we're not gonna win California, We're not gonna win
New York. And we we operate in reality here. We've
got to stay in Realville, everybody, right. So we're hoping
(09:38):
though that Republicans in those states will continue the momentum
because that could be critical for some contested house races. Remember,
you want to have House control. If Donald Trump wins
the election, very likely he will win in the House
as well, but you want to run up that margin
by as much as you possibly can. And that means
some of those some of those battleground congressional disc tricks
(10:00):
are really really important. And it also makes me feel
as a still lifelong or lifetime New Yorker who is
now a Floridian clay, to see that Kamala's margin of
victory in New York is expected to be half what
Hillary's was and what Biden's Hillary and Biden it was
like the same.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Twenty three percent give or take a percentage, twenty.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Three points for both Hillary and Biden in sixteen and twenty.
And to your point, the numbers now well.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Down fourteen thirteen, fourteen percent.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And look, I know that's not votes, that's polls, but
that's a huge drop off that it could be important
in those contested congressional races. I'll say, Clay, there's some
good news. I mean, whenever I see a sad piece
and there's been a few of them in the New
York Times other places about how Muslim American voters in
(10:54):
Michigan just not happy with Democrats, not happy with Kamala.
They got a big problem because that voting block came
out heavily for Joe Biden in twenty twenty, and expectations
are they're not going to do the same in Michigan.
The only wrinkle in this whole plant, I just say,
is white college educated voters, white voters with a college degree,
(11:18):
especially in the suburbs, are trending more Democrat. And I'm
sitting here and I anyway, that's a whole we got
to have.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
A whole talk about that. I don't know, I do
know what's going on with them, but they just drive
me insane.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well, they've just succumbed, as Elon Musk would say, to
the woke mind virus. And I think that is they
just have decided they don't like Trump for temperamental reasons.
But if you look at Michigan, and we were on
the front edge of this, I have to say, and
partly I think this because I've spent enough time up
there because my wife is from Michigan, a lot of
her family is there. But they have a large Jewish population,
(11:54):
they have a large Arab population, and both of those
groups went overwhelmingly for Biden. And I think, and we'll
see when the data comes out, I think a lot
of Jewish voters are going Trump. We saw recently you
were talking about New York. Buck Jewish voters in New
York are going for Trump. So the state of New
York Jewish population, according to some polling, is going to
(12:16):
be voting for Trump. Now they have a large, you
know this, well large Orthodox Jewish population in Manhattan in particular,
which is more conservative than let's say, Beverly Hills, Jewish
population for instance. But it is I think emblematic of
the struggles that Kamala is having, and Michigan in particular
(12:36):
has to be a full on panic because if Arab
voters don't show up for Kamala in a big way,
and if Jewish voters don't show up for Kamala in
a big way, she can't win that state. And so
I know we got a big audience in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.
You guys control this race, and not only for the
presidency but also for the Senate. I think a big
(12:57):
sign buck is the nr SEE is pouring money in
to the Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Senate races, feeling like
not only is Trump doing well, but all three of
those Republican Senate candidates have a good chance to win
as well.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Also, just want to point out, you know, Clay has
been very much pounding the drum like the coach who
wants the team to actually win the state championship here
of go out and vote early. A part of it
that I don't think we've really addressed it. I have
family members, by the way, just texted me, Oh, we've
already in New York we've already voted. You know, we've
sent in our votes, right, because you can do it
there in New York it's open and mail in ballots
(13:34):
and whatever. And here's the thing. When you tell people that, Clay,
there's a there's a contagion effect.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So the more of you who are going to be
calling in and emailing us in the week's head saying, oh,
I already put in my vote for Trump and Pennsylvania,
you know, again based on what is allowable for the
schedule in your state. But the more of you that
do that, I think the more encouraging it is to
others to also jump on that train, right is why not?
Why not get it done? Why not go for it?
(14:02):
I understand. I appreciate Trump even said it is like
the beautiful day. Voting day is beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
It is a beautiful day.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
But we also want to win, right, So make sure
that we get these votes in. We'll take some of
your calls on this also, Clay, I'm really curious for
any of our any of our listeners who are in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
because I feel like those are the we've known that
all along, that's nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
New, but they're really tight.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You know, they're spending what was it, three hundred and
fifty million dollars on media in Pennsylvania alone.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
A billion dollars, a billion dollars, and even the Guardian
over in the UK is saying, yeah, the numbers aren't
moving despite the fact that she's spent like crazy, to
your point, three hundred fifty million million dollars just in Pennsylvania.
If you live in Pennsylvania, you can't even turn the
television on, right, We're probably the radio without being completely
inundata with ads.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
So give us some of the atmosp so we'll prioritize
any callers coming in from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin this hour.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Look.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
The Preborn Network of Clinics is a nonprofit organization that
has an incredibly worthy goal. I know we can get
all caught up in elections and things that are going
on in the news cycle, but Preborn is saving lives
day in and day out. That is their mission, and
that's how important what they do is they've saved the
lives of nearly three hundred thousand babies to date over
(15:27):
the last two decades that they've been pursuing this mission.
Today they have more people and more clinics that ever,
all located in communities. They do this intentionally where abortion
rates are some of the highest in the country. I've
been to one of these clinics. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You go there.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Everyone is so kind, everyone is so helpful and understands
why they're there, wants to be there. I'm talking about
the staff. And then you have these women who will
come in and they talk to me and told me
that preborn now that they have a little three year old,
they have a little five year old running around the
office because Preborn came in, gave them an ultra sear
and help them. That's all it takes to save tiny
(16:04):
babies lives. Each life saving ultrasound costs just twenty eight dollars.
Twenty eight dollars. You imagine right now what that emotional
connection is between mother and child when she sees a
little heartbeat on that ultrasound. But Preborn can't do this,
can't keep saving lives without your help, the pro life community.
Please give your best gift today. Sponsor as many ultrasounds
(16:27):
as you can. Remember twenty eight dollars is an ultrasound.
All gifts are tax deductible. To donate securely dial pound
two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound two fifty,

Speaker 1 (16:47):
You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane. Reclaim
your sanity with Clay and Fund.

Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Got a bunch to get into Buck.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
But I wanted you to let you know that I
just went downstairs and my wife says that she thinks
this oven is too complicated for me, and she disputes
whether I've cooked pizzas there, and but she did say
that I am very good at using the microwave. And
there we good remember twenty years ago when we lived
(17:21):
together in a condo, that I was much better at
using that oven to cook pizzas.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So there you go my culinary ability.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
What is your microwave? All star meal?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
If you what is your absolute God? I'm gonna tell
you right now. I'm a big frozen chicken nuggets guy.
That gets me. I always love you, know.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I remember I had a we created a minor run
on dinosaur chicken nuggets when I was talking about how
my boys love dinosaur chicken nuggets and dinosaur oatmeal, both
of which we've obviously very palaeotologically inclined culinary talents here
in the Travis household.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I would I would say I'd buy. Some people say
what do you eat?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I go into the Kroger by me in my neighborhood,
and I like to buy the pre made meals, which
are actually fairly healthy and only take like four minutes
to throw in the microwave, and so that I eat
a lot of those.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think I'm pretty good at that.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
And for people who watch us on Clay and Buck,
we have a bit of a weird kind of schedule
right because our show, I'm on Central time. You're usually
on East Coast. You're in LA right now, but our
show is eleven to two Central. That's when most people
eat lunch. So I usually just have like a smoothie,
and so I don't have like really defined significant meals
(18:43):
by and large. I'm just grabbing things on the go
most of the time. But anyway, that's an update, Okay, Buck,
I really think that you are starting to see that
Joe Biden absolutely despises Kamala Harris, and there are little
things that he does that have given us that indication.
(19:06):
But I want to play for you. Kamala Harris tried
to create a story to interject herself into the narrative
that Ron DeSantis was being disrespectful of her and not
returning her phone call. And there have now been two
consecutive days where Joe Biden has been asked questions about
(19:31):
this in general, and Biden usually never takes questions at all.
And it seems to me that Biden likes Ron DeSantis
and doesn't like Kamala. Tell me if I'm misreading this.
This was yesterday, Biden takes his usual shots at Trump.
(19:51):
And look, I'm not saying Biden likes Trump. He does not,
but I think he really doesn't like Kamala at all.
And eventually we're going to get the full story of
how he got forced out and she got elevated.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
But listen to cut two here, mister.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
President, does Santas need to take Vice President Harris's calls?
All I can tell you is that I'm talking to
Governor DeSantis.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
He's been very gracious, She's thanked me for all we've done.
He knows what we're doing. And I think that's important.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Okay, So he's directly asked does he need to take
Kamala's calls, and instead of saying yes, which would be
an easy answer if he really wanted to interject himself
into politics, he actually goes out of his way back
to say, I'm talking to DeSantis. This is two days
in a row, and he's been very gracious, and yesterday
(20:44):
he said he had been great as well. What do
you make of this because it seems like a clear
attempt by Biden to throw Kamala Harris under the bus
and certainly not help her when he's endorsing in many ways,
he's the behavior of DeSantis and in no way saying like, yeah,
(21:04):
Kamala should get a phone call here.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Well, NBC News just reporting now.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
That uh, the Biden that Biden didn't know about what's
going on. So now the claim is that Biden was
unaware of the snubbed phone call narrative. So he's not
intentionally doing this. Very hard for us to know, Clay,
because Joe Biden's not aware.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Of a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I mean, no, no, a normal person would know why
you're not You're not really buck.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
He never answers questions, and you're telling me two days
in a row, he stopped and listened to all of
the reporter questions. He specifically asked in that question, should
Ron DeSantis return Kamala's call. This is the second straight
day he's responded to that question, and you're telling me
nobody told him anything about this at all.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
The Biden Biden can't in White House is putting an
alibi out to the media that he just didn't know.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Well that by the way of him, if it were
actually true. But I don't even buy that.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
All right, But I mean, at this point, you can
say that Joe Biden is not aware of and fill
in the blank with anything, and I think there's a
pretty solid argument that it could be true, right, And
that's that is not an exaggeration. You could tell me
that Joe Biden, you know, forgot the forgot the name
of I don't know his grandkids or something, uh, and
still can't remember it, and I would say, yeah, no,
(22:28):
I get it, like the guy he's at that stage
of life. Okay, that is the reality of Joe Biden. Okay,
but let's look at this Kamala issue. For second, Clay,
this is this shows exactly why the plan had been
until recently. Hide Kamala, let NBC News, let CBS News,
(22:50):
let The New York Times pretend she is a different
human being in public life, Pretend everything that she has
said and everything we know about her no longer counts.
The reason is her political instincts are terrible to decide
in this moment that, first of all, it's not like
(23:12):
she was picking a fight with an unpopular Republican governor,
a Republican governor who hasn't shown a particular ability to
be best in class. When you're talking disaster response, Ronda,
if you said to me, Buck, you know there's gonna
be a severe a hurricane, any sort of severe weather
event like that, and any honesty of any kind anywhere
(23:34):
in the country, who's the first governor that comes to mind,
I'd say Ron De Santis, and I think that there's
a lot of evidence.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
That you'd support that.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
For her to say I called Ron DeSantis and he
didn't take my call. First of all, shows a weird
sollipsism from Kamala, like this isn't about you, which I
think Ron already Governor de Santis already made that point
very well. But beyond that, Clay, Okay, what is she
to do on the call? Well, yeah, she's a is
(24:03):
she the is she the disaster response zar like she was?
The borders are No, there's nothing in her purview. There's
no reason. If Ron de Santis wasn't taking it wasn't
in communication with FEMA and Biden, then maybe Kamala could
could have an opening here.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
There's no opening for this, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I mean, you know, if I called some college football coach,
I'm like, I've got great plays that you need to
listen to me on and they didn't take my call,
I'd be an idiot to complain about that. That's where
Kamala is right now.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
We've got Ron DeSantis responding to Kamala, by the way,
which is cut three. Oh yeah, this just happened earlier today.
I did not have Ron DeSantis and Joe Biden double
clotheslining Kamala Harris on my expected outcome list when I
knew that there was a hurricane coming.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
But this is just what a disaster it has been.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Listen to DeSantis cut three, just a blo literate Kamala Harris.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
The fact of the matter is they put out a
story saying I didn't take I don't even know she
was trying to reach me. But she has no role
in this process.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
And I've been.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
Dealing with these storms in Florida under both Trump and Biden.
Neither of them ever politicized it. So what she's doing
is she's trying to inject herself into this because of
her political campaign. So is the governor here who's leading this.
I don't have time for those games. I don't care
about her campaign. Obviously, I'm not a supporter of hers.
She has no role in this process, and so I'm
(25:31):
working with the people I need to be working with,
and for her to try to say that my focus
should be on catering to her rather than roaring about
my own people, just so she doesn't understand what it
means to respond to these natural disasters.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm clay who burns their hand on the stove here
and then puts their hand on the stove again, Like
keeps going back to the issue that she's lost on
this issue she has. There is no opening for her here.
There is no oh, oh, well, maybe Ron could have
No he's already and she she thinks that she's gonna
somehow turn this around is it is a completely unforced
(26:10):
error from Kamala Harris. When she can't afford to be
making unforced errors, she can't afford to be doing anything
other than, you know, running the table right now.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I think it's important to think how a story like
this emerges, because she's gotten obliterated now from Biden and
from DeSantis over this. But how did this story start?
Remember they decided to attack Ron DeSantis for not returning
her phone call. None of us would have known, right.
(26:39):
She did a press availability by her airplane that we
played for you a couple of days ago, where she
walked over and she said Ron DeSantis needs to stop
playing politics I'm paraphrasing here, and needs to return my
phone call. And then the DeSantis team was asked about
this because nobody would have known about it but Foramala,
(27:00):
and they said, we didn't know anything about this phone call. Now,
I don't know who Kamala called or how that process
was put in place, but when they didn't return the
phone call, Kamala's team had two options. One was, hey,
it's a hurricane, let's just ignore it. We can say
that we tried to reach out and we offered as
much help as we possibly could, and then that'll just
(27:22):
put it to bed, or we can just not even
talk about it very much and just say, hey, we're
working with Trump, sorry, with Biden to try to handle
everything going on with the hurricane. Instead, they tried to
score political points and it's just blown up in their
face and it's led and I don't buy. I appreciate
the fact that NBC News is saying, oh, Joe Biden
(27:42):
didn't know about this. Come on that two days in
a row, he responded to a direct question about Kamala
Harris and Ron Desanti's just think Buck, if you got it.
If you were in a press conference and you got
asked a question and you truly didn't know about it,
which would be an indictment of you as the president, right,
wouldn't you walk immediately out of the press conference and
(28:05):
be like, hey, what was that question about with Kamala
and DeSantis?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
What's the story there?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
If his staff didn't tell him immediately after the first answer,
then that they are completely failing in their behavior.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
He never takes questions. He took questions on it two
days in a row.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
He knows maybe they don't want it to blow up
like it has, right, But well, this is just the story.
This is a passive aggressive shot from the Biden camp
when Kamala Harris needs all the support she can get
and then some you know, if you really try to
explain in the final weeks here, what is the what
is the last minute pitch? You know, what is the
(28:44):
closing argument of the Kamala campaign. Democracy is at stake.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's just that's just to.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Use this, that's just cult talking points that no one,
no one who's still thinking or whatever, is going to
be moved by that. I mean, really, we'll see on abortion,
but I would think that given every blue state has abortioned,
you know, more abortion freedom or more liberal abortion laws,
whatever you want to say, than anywhere in the world
(29:15):
except for North Korea and China.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
So I don't know. I see this, and I know
that there are a lot of.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
People that they'll just vote because of the party affiliation
that they've always had. And that's why we're talking about
a very small group overall. But Clay, you are starting
to see some breaks in the damn here of Democrats support.
For example, our friend Ryan Grodoski points out on Twitter,
you ready for this, everybody both The New York Times
(29:44):
and the Washington Post poll have Trump winning between twenty
and twenty four percent of the Black vote. That would
be big. Then you are talking popular vote in play
for a Trump win. I mean Trump absolutely. If Trump
gets twenty four percent of the Black vote, I still
(30:05):
don't think that's going to happen, sadly, but if he does,
this election is a total wipeout for Kamala Harris and
the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Back in the day, we had a stake bet. I
wasn't even that aggressive. I said, I thought, and I
still do that Trump will get twenty five percent of
the Black male vote. That is, I think Trump's gonna
just absolutely dominate with men, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, everybody
out there who is male, I believe, by and large
(30:36):
overwhelmingly rejecting Kamala. And if it's twenty to twenty four
percent overall, that means he's getting a decent percentage of
black female vote too, which I don't think Trump is.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Going to get over vote.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I don't think he's going to get over twenty percent
of the Black vote overall. So I feel confident in
that or not that I wish I wish you'd get
you know, ninety percent of the black vote. But I
don't think he's going to get twenty percent of the
black vote. But if he even gets fifteen percent, that
would be substantial. I mean, these are not numbers that
Republicans generally see. So that is an indicator.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
The entire identity politics buck to your point on indication
collapses if Democrats don't get ninety percent of the black vote,
their math doesn't math if they don't get ninety percent
of the black vote.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
All right, we'll come back to this here just a second.
You know, my fellow gun owners, it's a lot of
stuff to weighe through in the way of new firearms
and brands. When you want to add to your collection. Now,
I know you're like me. You want high quality firearms,
and you want them to be accurate. You want them
to be well made, feel good in your hands, and
to be reliable for when you need them at the range,
for whenever you need them. But my choice these days
(31:46):
is Bear Creek Arsenal. The last three firearms I have
added to my collection have all been Bear Creek Arsenal
okay less three for three now and Bear Creek is
one of the newer companies in the firearms industry, I
mean companies of the firems industry. They've been around for
hundreds of years, right but Bear Creek is building their
brand by producing great stuff. A lot of word of
(32:08):
mouth out there in the two a community for people
who are saying, wow, you can get this quality at
this price point. I'm talking pistols, I'm talking rifles, uppers, lowers,
it's I mean, I just go and peruse the Barcreek
website sometimes because they've got so much great stuff. You
see all the different calibers and what they've got on
off for right now. You know they've got yeah, of
(32:30):

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Welcome back in play Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We're joined now by
man we hope it's the next next Senator from the
state of Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick. He is running right now
against Casey who's been there for a long time, and
he is campaigning in Pittsburgh with Senator Sullivan of Alaska.
And I believe we had Senator Sullivan on this show recently,
(33:40):
so we appreciate him being out on the road with you.
But Dave, what are you seeing out there on the road.
We know the momentum for you is through the roof,
the amount of fundraising you've been doing, the crowds, everything else.
What are you seeing in Pennsylvania for your race for
Trump and for the possibility of Pennsylvania as a state
(34:03):
that can decide not only the presidency but the Senate.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
Hey, guys, thanks thanks for having me. You know I
feel a real momentum shift on the ground. And I
think what happened is Kamala Harris had a sugar high.
But what's happening is Pennsylvania is getting to know Kamala
Harris and they what they're finding out is he is
a San Francisco liberal with an extreme agenda. And you know,
I think Pennsylvania's maybe the one place where it would
(34:30):
have been better for the Democrats that have Joe Biden
because Grant and Joe had all these connections to labor
and the Democratic infrastructure. So what you're seeing is, you know,
President Trump is here all the time, he was, did
two rallies yesterday. I think he's got great momentum. He's
turning out the vote. I think people that see Harris
are starting to recognize she's not qualified and is much
(34:53):
too liberal for Pennsylvania. And then in my race, they
know that Bob Casey is a thirty year career politician.
This is a guy who who, when the bullet starts lying,
ducks his head and has voted for his week. He's
voted for this extreme liberal agenda of Biden and Harris
ninety nine percent of the time, and he'll do the
(35:13):
same with Harris Waltz. So that's why you see this shift.
My pulling's all closing. I feel great momentum on the ground,
and I think, I think we keep this up, we're
gonna win.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
How much are you seeing?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I mean, I think you're in a phase here where Democrats, generally, Dave,
are a little cornered and feeling a little desperate in
a lot of places. Clenn Iver was talking beforehand, We're
hopeful that you will be joining him on this endit.
But it looks like Tim Sheehey, for example, is just
blowing out incumbent Tesla and Montana.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
So there's some.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Really good trends right now.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
The wind seems to be at the back of top
tier GOP candidates, including you. Looks like you're really close
to being able to pull this out against Casey, which
would be the Democrats would be upset about this one, Dave,
which would be great. The more upset they are, the
happier we are. Are they trying to pull last minute
abortion stuff. I'm just wondering, what is the desperation playbook
(36:09):
for Casey in Pennsylvania? Is it I'm not really a Democrat,
I'm a maverick.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
What are they doing.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I'm just want to be familiar with where they are.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
Well, the starting point is just, you know, they have
more money. I mean, I've raised a lot of money
and I'm a wealth finance candidate, and I'll be outspent
by one hundred million dollars in Pennsylvania. With attack ads
on all sorts of lies regarding my Pennsylvania roots, my
business career, abortion, just one lie after another. It makes
you you just can't believe the amount of lying. So
(36:40):
that's the first thing they're doing. And then Bob Casey
really doesn't have a record to defend because he's been
a real failure as a senator. So ninety percent of
his campaign is about attacking me. But I don't think
it's working. And the reason I don't think it's working
is because people want to know they have leadership that's
going to take him in the right direction. And that's
(37:00):
why the polls are closing. The second thing in the
great twist of fate, I was with Trump yesterday and
I mentioned this to him. Bob Casey's actually running an
ad saying that he worked with President Trump to put.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
The China tariffs in place.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
I mean, it's just so ridiculous. President Trump is like,
I don't think I've ever met Bob Casey. What's he
looked like? I mean, this is this is absolutely shows
you vulnerability.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
And then and then.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
Bob Casey's flipping all his positions a good example. It
may seem small, but in Pennsylvania it's big. Bob Casey's
been opposed to whole milk in schools. The farmers hate him.
The dairy farmers in particular hate him because.
Speaker 6 (37:37):
He's not been for this.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
He sort of bought into Michelle Obama's ridiculous ideas that
we should take whole milk out of schools. And just
last week he flip flopped on this issue. He's flip
flopped on many issues.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
He's all of a.
Speaker 7 (37:48):
Sudden a strong supporter of fracking, even though he's been
a foe of fracking in every way. Possibly you can
ban fracking, well without ever banning fracking. You just have
rightations and red tape and lawsuits and and don't do anything.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
And that's exactly what he's done.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
So he's starting it. He's starting it to panic and
I think that's right where we want him. And you know,
I've got a experience with this in wrestling. I you know,
I wrestled in college. I was the co cabinet team
and army. I would always know if I could get
into the third period within a point or two, I'd win,
because the third period is not about wrestling. It's about
(38:27):
mental toughness. It's about heart, it's about staying in offense.
It's about just keeping pressure on this guy. And he's
under pressure. He's never had this before, and I think
that's why he's waving.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
You absolutely rocked him. I watched the debate. I thought
you did a fantastic job. I'd encourage people to check
it out if they haven't. I'm coming up with you.
I know you've got a billion events between now and then,
but I want our audience to know you and I
are going to be doing an event surrounding the Penn
State Ohio State game on November two, that's the Saturday
(39:02):
before the election. I think if I've got that date right,
and we're gonna be in State College.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
There are events, and there are events.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
This is Clay Travis, Penn State, Ohio State, a white out,
a huge tailgate. You and I say in America, that's
what this is about. No, this is gonna be epic.
I'm so glad you're coming, and it's gonna be fun.
We're gonna have a huge turnout, and it's going to
be three days before the election, so this is going
(39:32):
to be a big one.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Yeah, so people out there who are college football fans
and also people who believe that we need to take
the country back. I will be there. I cannot wait.
That's going to be an awful lot of fun. I
did want to ask you associated with that you were
at the Butler rally when Trump was shot July thirteenth.
You mentioned you went to West Point, you were at Army,
You've been around and heard a lot of gunshots over
(39:55):
the years. What did it feel like to be back
in Butler. What was that experience like for you?
Speaker 7 (40:03):
Well, you know, as you know, that was was quite
an experience the first time because I had gone up
on the stage and then President Trump had asked me
to sit back down because he wanted to talk about
the border and then have me back up later and
the bulliss follows soon thereafter. This was you know, I
have two reactions to the second Butler rally. One was
you just feel this enormous sense of both relief, but recognition.
(40:26):
It's a time for straint. And the President Trump we
saw on that stage at the first Butler rally shot
under fire. I know Senator Sullivan knows the same thing.
When one hundred people get shot, at ninety nine of
them stay down and it takes a rare person to
stand up. And President Trump stood up on that day
and showed a lot of courage, and I think that's
what people want more than anything else, is strained. Second
(40:48):
reaction was I sat next to the Compertour family, his
widow and his two daughters. Once twenty eight was twenty four.
As you know, Clay, I have six daughters, and it
was just heart wrenching. I mean, they were so I think,
honored to have their father paid such tribute as an
American hero who threw himself in front of them and
(41:09):
saved their lives. But it was also just you know,
a family that lost lost dad, lost a husband, and
seeing it through their eyes the tribute to their husband,
Corey the father, but also just the sadness.
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Of the loss.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Was it really it almost hit me much more by
being with them than the first rally did, even though I.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Know, you know, we had lost his life. Seeing it
like that really really left the mark.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Speaking to Davi McCormick, he's running for a critical Senate
seat in Pennsylvania. Battleground Pennsylvania the most important state in
this election, it seems by far across the board, both
of the presidency and then obviously very important Senate battle
underway there. Amazing to hear that you're being outspent by,
not that he's spending one hundred million dollars, that you're
(41:59):
being out spent by one hundred million dollars. I know
that the presidential side of this is three hundred and
fifty million. I mean, I don't be the money being
thrown into these media buys has got to be crazy.
Tell me this, though, when you do you come across,
When you come across, I'm sure you do, because you're
out there doing what you do and campaigning, and you
(42:20):
know it's it's the absolute sprint part of this campaign, Dave.
When you come across and undecided, or when someone comes
up to you and says, I like you, but I'm
not sure yet. You know what I mean, I'm sure
you have this. What do they need to know or
what do they want to know that they don't yet
that can push them over the line. Do you know
what I'm saying, Like, when you come across one of
these undecideds, what are they undecided about at this point?
Speaker 7 (42:43):
Well, I think it's I'm still you know, I'm running
against the dynasty. And people ask me about that, and
I say, the thing about dynasties.
Speaker 6 (42:50):
Is they all end at some point. And so people
who I am, so.
Speaker 7 (42:55):
I talk about three things. I say, Basically, you know
the country's going in the wrong direction, and most people
agree with that. I say, this is a choice between
a seventh generation of Pennsylvanian and outsider, a business guy
at a west point, grab a combat bet against someone
who's been a career politician, who's been weak, and who
has voted for these extreme liberal policies. And then I
(43:16):
end by saying, listen, if you think the status quo
is okay, then you should probably vote for center Casey.
You're going to get more of that. If you think
we're in trouble, do you think we need change, you
think we need someone who's going to fight for Pennsylvanian,
doesn't know anybody anything other than Pennsylvanians, then I'm your guy.
And that seems to convince most of those folks on
(43:36):
the fence that they should take a chance on new leadership.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
We're talking to Dave McCormick. I'm curious in Pennsylvania political
circles Democrat, Republican, Independent, are there people starting to look
around saying, what in the world was kammal of thinking
picking Tim Walls instead of potentially Josh Shapiro the governor there?
Because there have to be you have to come across
not only at tabuk point people who are trying to
decide how they're going to vote, but even Democrats have
(44:04):
to be a little bit panicked right now with what
they're seeing right.
Speaker 7 (44:07):
Well, totally Well, I'd say Sener Sliv and I were
just talking about that. I'd say two things. One just
is a political matter. I think it was a bad calculus.
I mean, I think Governor Shapiro, who he and I
have a number of disagreements, but he's a very able
person and he would have been very strong in Pennsylvania,
and he's very very strong nationally in supporting that ticket.
Speaker 6 (44:27):
But I think it says a lot about the Democratic Party.
Speaker 7 (44:30):
I think it's impossible to imagine that the fact that
Governor Shapiro is Jewish didn't factor into her thinking. Yeah,
because she did not want to alienate the extreme elements
of her party. And I think that's really all you
need to know about where that party is and what
kind of decision maker she is that she wouldn't pick
someone who's far more able and far more capable of
(44:52):
stepping into the presidency than what Governor Walts is demonstrating
every day, which is he's.
Speaker 6 (44:58):
Just in over his head.
Speaker 7 (44:59):
This is not the guy who's ready to assume the
mantle of leadership. And certainly that couple with Kamala Harris,
who's proving in every day with every interview, that she's
not capable of taking the mandol leadership. I think it
was a miscalculation that showed weakness and moral.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Failure, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
Look what in the very end here, Dave, we got
a few weeks, We've got you know, the ballots are
already being filled out, sent in all this stuff in
different states. What can people do? We have a lot
of listeners in Pennsylvania. We could have just taken an
hour of calls, the first hour of people calling in
from Pennsylvania. What can people do to help both push
(45:38):
you President Trump and other Republicans across the finish line here.
Speaker 7 (45:44):
Well, first, when I talk about me and my race,
everything you do for me and other candidates really helps
us up and down the ballots. This is a team sport,
and so I'm so grateful for all the support that
we're getting. And we got to have a big turnout.
And so for you listening, you must vote. You can't
not vote, that's the first thing. But you've got to
get other people to vote, people to register, people to
(46:05):
get out there, people.
Speaker 6 (46:06):
To submit their ballots early.
Speaker 7 (46:08):
Not take a risk of bad weather that day, and
convince people who are Republicans to get out there, and
convince people that are independents or Democrats who aren't you know,
who are on the fence that we need good, good
leadership to take us forward. I'm a Republican, I'm a conservative,
but I'm running to represent all Pennsylvanians and.
Speaker 6 (46:28):
We need leadership and change.
Speaker 7 (46:30):
And these these problems, the sky high prices, the fentanyl crisis,
the war on fossil fuites, these are these are problems
that affect every single Pennsylvanian. And uh so I'm hoping
we can get people listening today to be energized again.
Dave MCCORMICKPA dot com for details about my campaign, my positions,
an opportunity to volunteer there for people want to volunteer,
(46:53):
but we got we got to energize our voters because
this is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 4 (46:59):
Day mclempa dot com. You just heard it there. I
will be with him in PA in a couple of weeks.
We may need to get you on again before that,
but certainly I look forward to seeing you in State College,
PA for that big game and helping to also win
back the country.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Keep up the good work.
Speaker 7 (47:15):
Thanks guys, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
No doubt that's Dave McCormick. I think he's going to
be your next senator from Pennsylvania. If you guys listening
in Pennsylvania, all show up, get those ballots in.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Look.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
I want you to learn how to diversify your savings
and your IRA account with the purchase of physical gold.
You don't need to be a sophisticated investor to accomplish this,
just a pragmatic one. Investing a portion of it in
gold is one way of making sure your value doesn't
evaporate slowly over time and that's what happens when you
have your savings account in an all cash position. Ongoing
(47:45):
inflation caused by runaway government spending causes our dollars to
lose value. The current price of gold one indication of
why this deserves your consideration. Long term picture of gold's
value just is reinforcing, and that's why we trust the
people at Perch Gold Group to help us. Pirch Gold
will assist you in converting an existing ir ira or

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Got Joe Biden speaking about the hurricane aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
As I was saying in the first hour, the tornadoes
turned out to be certainly the most visually shocking.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
Thing from it.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
The storm surge does not seem to be anywhere near
what was initially anticipated when it was at a category
five hundred and eighty mile an hour storm. So that
was good news for the Tampa area. Look, it still
still came in a category two. I think six lives confirmed,
lost a lot of property damage. Scary situation, but not
(49:37):
the catastrophic hurricane that was being forecast. So that's, you
know what, We'll take what we can here. That's better
than expected in terms of what could have happened. Helene,
on the other hand, far worse, I believe than anybody
was anticipating. That has taken hundreds of lives, and we're
(50:00):
still hoping that there will be a lot of areas
that get substantially more resources and help rebuilding. So Biden
speaking about that, right now I think, Clay, it will
be a shorter amount, you know, focusing now on the
political shorter amount of time spent on this in the
(50:20):
in the final weeks here of the election, then would
have been the case if this had been a massive
you know, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, what was the huge
one in Houston, Remember the really bad hurricane that hid
and just dumped all that water on it. Anyway, some
of these hurricanes that have been massive catastrophes that have
(50:41):
lasted for four weeks on end.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
Was it Harvey? If it was Harvey? Right?
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Anyway, we are following this looking at this still, and
the only real political back and forth on it has
been Kamala Harris making a mess of things and I
think just creating a negative news cycle for herself for
no reason. It's remarkable that she thought it was a
(51:06):
good idea to go out there. One thing I did
want to point out, Clay. You may have seen and
I tweeted about this Bill Nye, the science guy. They
trot this guy out there. He's a little bit like
Greta Thunberg.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
He has no.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
Particular expertise of any kind when it comes to climate,
when it comes to natural sciences. The guy has an
undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell. Okay, so there
you have it. But he dresses like a nerd, so
we're supposed to think that he knows about this stuff.
(51:44):
The level of desperation to politicize these weather events, which
is what they are, is something that I guess it
never ceases to amaze me at some level. This has
cut six the science guy, like I said, just because
he wears a lab coat and already glasses, you're supposed
to say, oh, this guy must know a lot about
the science, says. If you want to stop hurricanes, vote
(52:06):
for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
Play it the other side, as we often call it.
Speaker 12 (52:10):
This plan has no plans to address climate change, no
plans for long term dealing with these sorts of problems.
If you have young voters out there, encourage them to vote.
People say what can I do about climate change? If
we were talking about it associating it with big storms
(52:30):
like this, that would be really good.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
But the main thing is vote Clay.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
I just want to note you know you've told me
about some of the political betting that has been legal.
One of the things that gets me excited about that
is I want to start being able to place bets
versus the climate change community. They're always wrong. They are
always wrong. Everything they say is untrue. Every prediction they
have is incorrect. They're not sometimes there are one hundred.
(52:57):
Their record is untarnished at perfection in wrongness. Even if
you believe what they believe, which is insane, which is
that the world is going to end and we're gonna
have nothing but hurricane events and all these terrible things.
Even if you believe it, their plans or the Kamala
Harris plans would do nothing. It would all do nothing
to address the imaginary challenge that they think we face.
Speaker 4 (53:21):
Not only that, I would just like for someone to
push back against Bill Nay sometimes and point this fact out.
Warming of the planet actually makes people less likely to die.
That is, extreme cold kills far more people than extreme
(53:42):
heat does. Have you seen these studies that no one
will even talk about. We're actually if you are convinced
that the climate is going to kill you, a warming
planet actually makes you safer as a human than a
cooling climate does. And whatever you think of the world,
(54:02):
what really bothers me about about the climate catastrophists buck
is these people are so convinced that the world is
in danger from climate change that a lot of them
have decided they don't want to have families.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
They don't want to have kids.
Speaker 4 (54:17):
What is your living for goal if you're not having kids,
if you believe the world's going to end. And don't
even get me started on all of the climate catastrophists
who continue to take private jets all over the world
that are emitting unbelievable amounts of pollution and greenhouse gases
and everything else. They care so much about the fate
(54:40):
of the planet, but not enough to have to fly
on a commercial airline. No, it's just like that that
is a step too far in their own personal life.
That these people just are mentally unstable. And I think
you said, and I think this is true. Climate change
is a religion for people who think that religion is
not worth having.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
Yes, this is it is purely now religious in nature.
Speaker 7 (55:03):
It is.
Speaker 2 (55:03):
It is a faith based tradition, not a science or
evidence based tradition. I'm out here in la where I
know that there's an obsession with this. I think this
is probably this is the Vatican City of climate change.
Out here is this is the mecca of climate change.
This is where you know, this is where it all
all focuses in on that they're going to all switch
to evs and this stuff, all these all this legislation,
(55:25):
all of it will be abandoned, amended. You look at
the what was the Paris climate Climate Agreement. None of
the European countries are actually hitting those targets, and the
whole thing is a scam. It's a but some people
become so rich on it. I mean I almost respect
the hustle if I didn't despise what they were doing
to the economy into people's freedom so much, it's amazing.
(55:46):
With people like al Gore, the the before Fauci is
certainly the biggest science phony in history, or at least
in my lifetime.
Speaker 3 (55:55):
Al Gore again, another guy who what does he know.
Speaker 1 (55:57):
About any of this?
Speaker 13 (55:58):
Oh I like to give speeches about climate change. The
guy knows nothing. It is absurd. Greta Thunberg was a
sixteen year old girl who CNN was sitting down with, like, Oh,
tell us about what's going to happen unless we change
trillions of dollars of economic output to fit your little
childish fantasy here about how the world can all run
(56:20):
on green and they.
Speaker 2 (56:22):
Taught her, they treated her seriously. That's a sixteen year
old girl. A lot of it is worship of toddler.
Why don't we have a climate change toddler who is like,
you know, the little mini Dali Lama of climate change
and just go all in on this madness.
Speaker 3 (56:35):
People should be ashamed of their stupidity that they keep.
Speaker 2 (56:38):
Believing this stuff. This is one of those ones where
I will dig in against anybody. And I know in
La you get a lot of this stuff on the coast,
he get a lot of this stuff clay. But it's
funny because they say, like, oh, the Trump campaign is
politicizing the hurricane. The Democrats are saying, if we don't
all start you know, putting solar panels on our houses,
(56:59):
in taking bicycles everywhere, we're not taking it.
Speaker 1 (57:02):
This is absurd.
Speaker 4 (57:03):
Look, I'm going to be in Ashville tomorrow doing our show.
The reality is I wish we would have conversations about
how to help people who have been harmed by these
storms instead of trying to argue like Bill n I did, Oh,
this is all a function of global warming. The data
actually reflects and I know people don't want to talk
(57:24):
about data. I believe the deadliest and most destructive decade
of hurricanes in the state of Florida's history, modern history
that we can measure, Buck, was the nineteen forties. And
you guys out there that are experts on hurricanes can
let me know if I've got this wrong. But I
enjoy reading just to try to make myself more intelligent
(57:47):
about a variety of subjects. They can't explain why the
nineteen forties, long before we would have ever thought about
global warming, was so incredibly destructive to Florida. I think
the reality is that there are just weather events that
we are more aware of than we ever have been before.
(58:08):
And Buck, the reality of this is also what were
you watching last night? I was watching the Weather Channel.
I put on the Weather Channel because I wanted to
know what Milton's impact was going to be. I was
watching Major League Baseball flipping back and forth. And we
as humans are innately drawn to weather related phenomena and events.
(58:30):
The media has become certainly aware of that because they
look at ratings, and that's why they send everybody to
stand in the water and stand in the wind, because
we can't look away because it is in some ways
enticing and exciting to see weather related events on television.
This is, by the way, not just hurricanes or snowstorms
(58:51):
or anything else. Do you know what drives ratings in
football buck snow. If they have snow games, people can't
turn it off. The more snow that falls during a
football game, the more people watch. It's captivating in some
way to be able to see. And I got a
little bit of a funny clip because I know Hurricane
Milton is very serious and we're wishing everybody the best.
(59:14):
And I'm going to be a middle of Hurricane Helene tomorrow.
I'm gonna be at our Asheville affiliate. I cannot wait.
I will be flying over a helicopter seeing everything. I'll
be able to hopefully raise money. We're doing that Friday
night in Knoxville for everybody out there that is struggling.
But I was watching last night and I know our
guys grabbed it. We talked sports analogies. Sometimes one of
(59:36):
these weather forecast guys gave a analogy to what he
thought the second half of the storm was going to
be like. And unfortunately, if you were an Atlanta Falcons fan,
you just got absolutely wiped out.
Speaker 1 (59:51):
This is cut eight buck. You can't escape sports.
Speaker 4 (59:54):
I don't know if you saw this, but I was
watching this live last night on the Weather Channel when
it happened.
Speaker 9 (59:59):
We definitely joint the little halftime show that both the
nature gave us inside Milton. But now we got the
second half, and you know, I got to remind everyone
you might.
Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Still be in the eye right now. There's a lot
more to go.
Speaker 9 (01:00:10):
I think back to, you know, the Atlanta Falcons first
half Super Bowl winner. We know what happened to the
second half when the Patriots came back to life. So
do not sleep on the second half of Milton. The
second half of Milton Buck for you. You need a
sports translation there. The Falcons were up twenty eight three
on Tom Brady and the Patriots. They ended up losing,
(01:00:31):
And I was just thinking to myself as I'm watching
the hurricane, some poor Atlanta Falcons fan hadn't been thinking
about that game for a long time.
Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
And then boom.
Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
The meteorologist uses it as an analogy to illustrate how
things can change in the second half of the storm
can be dangerous but positive.
Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
In the midst of all this, it seems.
Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
Like the damage so far from Milton is not the
category five monstrosity that everybody was afraid of, and that
it seems like Florida Rohn DeSantis, everybody else is gonna
be able to recover.
Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
We're hopefully sooner read than later.
Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Yes, so we'll take some of your calls here coming
up eight hundred and two A two two AA two.
Also VIP emails go to Clay and Buck dot com.
Sign up for that. Send us your VIP thoughts. We
were just talking about the hurricanes. We are witnessing so
many events right now that you just need to be
prepared for hurricanes, the disruptions they create. In times like these,
(01:01:26):
preparation and communication are key. So one of the newest
sponsors here we have can help you with that. I've
got them at home. We use them in the aftermath.
My family did in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. My
family in New York now has them. We have not
forgotten about Hurricane Sandy up in New York. Remember, you
need to prepare now.
Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
And plus you.
Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Can use these just as a convenience too. Rapid radios,
I mean you can talk to people. I was Clay

average walkie talkies and only connect within a few hundred
yards of each other. My father in law was in
Ashville and Laura was in Nashville, so that was easy
for them to have a chat. No subscription costs or
