Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. Monday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show kicks off right now. Lots of news, as
is always the case it seems on Mondays, but especially
as we get now just what twenty eight days from
an election. I think that's the math it is coming up,
my friends. We are going to give you the latest.

(00:21):
Kamala Harris with a well, what is a blitzkrieg if
it goes really poorly? That's what she did with the
media all of a sudden. She's doing her best to
actually sit around and have people ask her questions. She
appeared on the View Colbert Howard Stern the Call Her

(00:44):
Daddy podcast. We shall discuss all of that here. Her
answers is what we're going to discuss, or what it
passes for an answer with Kamala Harris. Also going to
be joined second hour by our friend Sean Parnell, of course,
hosts the Battleground podcasts in the Clay and Buck Network.
He was at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania over

(01:06):
the weekend. I heard from attendees there that he'd look
to them to be eighty to one hundred thousand people.
I know the official number which was taken before everyone arrived,
was more like twenty five or thirty thousand, But it
was vast that I can tell you. The photos show
it was a vast turnout. We'll talk to Sean and
ask him he was there, talk to him about that.

(01:27):
I was watching Morning Joe this morning, Clay, and sure
enough he says that Trump is calling for civil war.
So we have seen the Democrats retreat into the guy
who has had to withstand two assassination attempts. If he
keeps this up, there could be political violence. And you
sit there and you say to yourself, Wow, not a
lot of self awareness from the Democrats. We've got that. Oh.

(01:53):
I'm here in South Florida, and unfortunately there is. We're
still covering and watching the aftermath, the building efforts, the
humanitarian aid and all the rest of it, and FEMA
and the failures thereof with Hurricane Helene. Now another hurricane
is barrowing toward Florida. Looks like it is on a

(02:14):
direct course right now for Tampa could turn left or right,
as we know, but we are getting prepared for that
here where I am, certainly, and a lot of my
fellow Floridians are, But Clay, I want to start with
this one because I feel like it's going to color
so much of all of our conversations from now to
election day. I think it is clear. You can make

(02:36):
the cases we do on the data, but it's really
just clear from the strategy of the Harris campaign at
this point that all of a sudden, they're doing all
these interviews. They were holding back, hiding her from the public,
They're doing all these interviews at once. You just said
to me, to give you credit for this, that the
news cycle is about to turn into a week of
severe weather coverage. That's just a fact. That's how this works.

(03:00):
Clay recognized that he's correct, and so it really then
is three weeks until election day for the Kamala campaign.
And here's my basic thesis to you, Clay. They are
losing and they know it. Yeah, I think that's right,
and let's unpack a little bit of what you just said.
It's also, by the way, the October seventh to one

(03:21):
year anniversary of the attack of all of the Hamas
terrorists on the innocent Israelis. We'll be talking about that
a bit as well. But look, the hurricane is barreling
towards Florida right now when it hits, and we went
through this a little bit buck, I think the timing
was almost exactly the same in twenty twenty two, except

(03:43):
it was a statewide race in Florida. Florida Governor Ron
DeSantis was up for reelection. Major storm hit in the
Fort Myers Naples area, created a monstrous amount of damage,
and Desantas was on the ground and phenomenal and his leadership.
So I am very confident that if you had to
pick a governor that you wanted to be in charge

(04:03):
of marshalling state resources and being able to handle whatever
nature brings to bear, it would be tough to beat
Ron DeSantis. So let's start there. But I think the
panics setting in because the reality is when this hurricane hits,
there's going to be about a week of full on
hurricane coverage, and that's going to take away from the

(04:23):
minute to minute coverage of the presidential election. I came
to say, coupled with the other you know, it magnifies it.
And we're still covering the hurricane aftermath. Yeah, with the
awful disaster and Helene that is still having an impact.
We will be talking about quite a lot during the
course of today's program, but it takes away from the
back and forth of the presidential campaign and puts it

(04:46):
back on the natural disaster turf. The analogy I would
make right now as you look at Kamala Harris doing
the Call Her Daddy podcast, which is young women primarily
listening Howard Stern, which is according to their data, seventy
percent mail, and then the Sixty Minutes Interview, which is

(05:08):
airing tonight but which there are already snippets of and
it didn't go well. And then I believe Stephen Colbert,
and I think Tim Walls is also doing his own
sit downs. He got roughed up. I would argue pretty
bad by our friend Shannon Bream when he finally went
on Fox News, did not have good answers for most
of her questions because I just don't think he's that
bright of a guy, and he doesn't respond well to questions,

(05:30):
and neither does she. So the analogy that I would
make Buck is and congratulations to Vanderbilt Commodoores beating the
Alabama Crimson Tide. Buck and one of the biggest upsets
in the history of college football. Did you notice I
knew that was gonna happen. I always bet on my commodores.
You were all in on the commodoors. Congratulations. Unfortunately, Arkansas, Razorbacks,

(05:51):
Texas A and M Washington and Minnesota all got big
wins in top twenty five, top ten. But the reason
why I bring up football is one of the lessons
you learned from football is it's a little bit like
boxing or UFC buck in that styles make fights. That
is the way that you play in football or boxing

(06:12):
or UFC can be very different. And so you can have,
you know, a team that likes to run the ball,
you can have a team that likes to pass the ball.
You can have a defense dominant, offense dominant. Everything's different.
What is almost universally the case, though, is when you
have to abandon what you do well, what your game
plan is, things are not going well. And I would

(06:34):
say that they tried to be a running team with
Kamala Harris. They hid her. They kind of get into
a plotting campaign, a battle of inches, three yards in
a cloud of dust for those of you who know
running football old school, and suddenly they're behind by a
couple of touchdowns. They're looking up. The polls aren't moving,
and they're changing their strategy, and they're going to try

(06:56):
to come out and throw the ball all over the
field in a desperate a tempt to get back in
the game. And I think that's gonna make things worse
for her, Buck because you're already seeing these clips come around,
and we're gonna play some of you some of them
for you. She's first of all, not targeting the people
who are gonna be battleground voters. I was asking you
this off air, how many blue collar workers in in uh,

(07:17):
in Pennsylvania, Michigan and uh and uh and and and
like like that longshoreman union boss like you. Yeah, I
love the Call of Daddy podcast. How many of those
guys or gals listen to call her daddy or Howard Stern.
To me, this is evidence of just being out of
touch with how to reach those people. They're not watching uh,

(07:41):
they're watching football first of all. And and I'll point
this out. I did the interview with Trump at the
Georgia Alabama game. We also invited throughout kick Kamala. We
would invite Kamala on this show too. She wouldn't do it,
But that's the audience she actually has to reach. She
needs to be persuading guys who watch football games. She
tried with Walls. It failed because everybody can see that

(08:01):
he's a fraud. But they are now panicked. They're falling behind.
And when you fall behind, you change what was working
at least a little bit, and you throw caution to
the wind. And I think she's going to fall further
behind because I think this exposes what she does the worst,
which is just respond to questions and look normal. At
some level in politics, there is that relatability issue or

(08:24):
the charisma I feel your pain from Bill Clinton. There's
the connection that you can have with your constituents or
your voters. And the issue I think that faces Kamala
Harris is that when you look at her as a
matchup in this election cycle, she is based on everything

(08:47):
we can see so far, but also just I think
qualitatively or subjectively, it's clear she's a bad matchup for
where she has to do. I think that there is
a scenario in which Kamala Harris could, if she were
a better candidate, you know, run up the vote totals
in in some of the Democrats strongholds. Maybe or do

(09:07):
I think that maybe she could do better with you know,
some some minority voters in major urban areas. Yeah, but
that doesn't matter in this election, really, right, This is
what you're getting to. What matters is in the swing
states or the these the battleground states that are still
up there and and open up for grabs. Who is
she relating to? Who finds her? You know? Single, single mind?

(09:31):
Are single women who are career minded are already voting Democrat.
This is this is why she's not doing any better
with women than Biden was, because if you were a
female Biden voter, you're already voting for Kamala Harris. There's
really no more room to grow, right, there's no more
room to run. White working class voters are the primary demographic.

(09:51):
I've been you know, pounding this drum all year. I mean,
this is just it's just demographics. It's just numbers. And
to your point about who she's talking to on the part,
you know, on these podcasts, I mean, Howard Stern, I
think you could argue that there's gonna be you know,
some working class people of all ethnicities lit but even
that buckets distributed on satellite radio like that is something

(10:13):
that I think is like a coastal elite than it
used to be. I think I think that's true. But
Kamala Harris has an inherent weakness in this as well,
and that I think that. Look, I think that men
could relate to Joe Biden because of the persona that
Joe Biden had crafted over forty years. I know he was,

(10:34):
you know, blue collar Joe. We know that it's a mirage.
That doesn't matter. It worked right, it was all, Hey,
you know, I'm an Irish charm and I shake hands
Kamala and this is I'm not saying this is fair
or right or whatever. We're just looking at the cold,
hard political calculations. You know, she doesn't have children of
her own, which people have pointed out, and that's a
choice that's fine for people to make. I'm not but

(10:56):
I think that a lot of women with kids look
at this and they're like, I don't know, you know,
unless they were already in on one side of the other,
I think that they have a hard time relating to
Kamala Harris. I think we're seeing that. And I think
that for a lot of men who feel economic stress,
which it's a lot of Like there's a lot of
people out there right it's a lot.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
You know.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
You and I have told the stories. How many kids
did you have and you're making like fifty grand chiving whatever?
And I two two when I was making forty grand,
and I got fired. I mean, it's not a good feeling.
And every lot of men and women out there who
have young kids know that feeling where you look around
you say, boy, this ain't good. I was. I remember
being in my thirties and living in a truly four

(11:38):
hundred something square foot apartment that smelled of cigarettes from
the previous owner. And I was happy to have it
because I couldn't even find an apartment in my budget
at the time. I mean, I know, and it didn't
have any money, and I know what that's like anybody
who's in that situation. I'm just bringing it up. Who
is right now feeling like, how am I going to
get it done? Kamala Harris does not make them feel

(12:00):
like she cares and has experienced this, because she hasn't.
That's why she's doing this whole You know, I come
from middle class family where we care about our lawns.
Kamala Harris reminds them of the diversity consultant or educator
who maybe is telling them why they're getting their hours
cut back, or maybe is telling them that there's no

(12:21):
longer a place for them at the company, or that
they have to just you know, use different language in
the workplace, or whatever it may be. She doesn't resonate.
She is the DEEI or HR employee at your business
who constantly is sending emails on Indigenous People's Day that
you roll your eyes at. And Trump And I made

(12:44):
this analogy, Buck, if you work in a business, Trump
is the CEO or founder who is brash, who sometimes
says things that are out landish, but everybody loves them
when they actually meet him face to face. And who
do you like more in the company? You like the
brash founder, you don't like the DEEI HR investigatory hire

(13:08):
who's sending emails to ask whether or not people have
updated their email signature, wanting to have their pronouns. I'll
say this, you know, to be fair, if it were
Trump or Biden who walked into the lunch room at
any at a mechanic you know, at a mechanic shop,
or you know, in a in a hardware store or whatever,
walks in, slaps people there on the back, and it's like,

(13:29):
you know, hey, guys, what's going on? You have a
good weekend. They know how to do that. Kamala Harris
walks into that same room again. Just speaking of perception,
everyone feels like, are we using their proper pronouns? Is
everything okay? Are we okay? It feels like the hall
monitor that you don't want around you. These are the
intangibles that I think have been the problem with Kamala

(13:52):
all along, and that's why she got one percent of
the Democrat vote in the primary. Everybody, this hasn't changed.
They're panicked. Things are going good. Go vote early. I'm
just gonna keep saying it next twenty eight days, every day,
go vote, Go vote early, get it done. Things are
looking good, but we're gonna stay focused on it. Also,

(14:15):
gonna stay focused on the one year anniversary here of
October seventh. Clay mentioned it. You know, we have been
deeply emotionally moved here, all of us by what happened
that day, the worst massacre of the Jewish people since
the Holocaust. Hamas terrorists killed twelve hundred Israelis, took more
than two hundred and fifty hostages, and now over one

(14:36):
hundred are still waiting to be returned home, either alive
or perhaps passed away because of what was done to
them in captivity by these terrorists. This is where we
have to stand with our allies in Israel, and this
is where the IFCJ comes in. The Israeli people still
need the support of those like you and me around

(14:57):
the world who believe in their right to exist, to
defend themselves and believe in the defensive civilization and the
fight against these barbarous terrorists. IFCJ is there helping on
the front lines providing assistance to the Israeli people. Your
gift of one hundred and fifty dollars helps the Fellowship
provide food and other necessities to families in Israel that

(15:21):
have to hide in bomb shelters, have to prepare for
the next incoming rocket attack. Call please today to make
your one hundred and fifty dollars gift right now eight
eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight
four eight eight four three two five, or you can
go online to this website support IFCJ dot org. Today,

(15:41):
of all days is what I really hope you'll consider
stepping up and standing with Israel.

You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane. Reclaim

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Welcome back in Clay Buck Sexton Show. Hurricane Milton update
in the last few minutes. It's now a Category five.
Reading from the news service Tampa Bay. Buck. If the
storm stays on its current track, it will be the
worst storm to impact the Tampa area in over one

(16:19):
hundred years. This again, this is News Tampa Bay, National
Weather Service, Tampa Bay. Please evacuate if told to do so,
complete all prep before tomorrow night. Tampa Bay. We're gonna
get into this. Buck has typically avoided major hits because
of the location of the area of Florida there based

(16:40):
on how hurricanes typically come in. But this one is
very strange in that it's moving west to east in
a way that you typically don't see a trajectory like that.
We may have some meteorologists out there or hurricane experts
that can speak to this, but I know because I
lived in the Caribbean and we've got place in Florida.
I have had one long time there. I've been pretty
well verse, paid a lot of attention to hurricanes over

(17:02):
the last twenty years. Buck, I haven't ever seen a
trajectory like this one coming through the Gulf. Yeah, we're
gonna watch this one as it comes in, and we're
gonna be batting down the hatches here in South Florida.
So all of you across Florida listening, Uh, I'm right
here with you. It's gonna it's gonna be. It's gonna
be tough. Look, our nation's systems are experiencing a lot

(17:26):
of failure these days. I mean, just look at what's
going on with all the femas situation. Some of the
top researchers at Stansbury want you to know that there's
some broader trends at work here now. Stansbury's a financial
research firm. They produce reports on the state of our
nation's economy. They recently put out in a report you
need to know about. It's about how strange so called
accidents are happening across America and why we've seen reports

(17:49):
of nine one one call centers going offline, red reports
of a plane falling apart mid flight. One of the
big reveals was the number of train accidents last year.
Some forty seven hundred in all. Learn what so many
big accidents are now taking place in America and exactly
where and when the next big accident is most likely
to occur. Go to America disaster dot com for the
full story and hear this report explain to you for

(18:11):
free America disaster dot com. That's America disaster dot com.
Welcome back into Clay and Buck Kamala Harris finally doing interviews.
Now you might say, what's the big deal? Why does
that really matter? Well, because it is quite clear that
the strategy of this campaign for the first what's seven

(18:34):
or eight weeks? I guess, I mean depending on when
when did she effish all? I would say she all
the way up to the debate. Buck, she basically talked
to no one, and even after the debate she didn't
do much. This is this week is going to be
more active for her for interviews than any week since
she ascended to the nomination in July twenty. First, there's
no world in which you change that strategy so suddenly,

(18:57):
so late in the game unless it's not working and
their internals are showing that it's not working. And I
want to remind everyone it is really just unseemly and
also quite condescending to hide a presidential candidate for the
American people and just hope that the media can do
her dirty work for her. That was the strategy. That's

(19:18):
what they were planning to do. It's not working, so
they're changing it up. So let's take some time here
to delve into hm, why was that her strategy in
the first place. Why do the people around Kamala who
make a living trying to get people to win elections,
why were they like, you know, let's just leave out
the interviews. Let's start with this. Kamala is talking about taxes.

(19:39):
This is going to be fun. This is cut eight.
She was on sixty minutes with Bill Whittaker. And you
know what, just listen, listen in listen, in close. Kamala's
making it all makes sense.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
My plan is about saying that when you invest in
small businesses, you invest in the middle class, and you
strengthen America's economy. All businesses are part of the backbone
of America's economy.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
But pardon me that a vice president, the question was,
how are you going to pay for it?

Speaker 4 (20:08):
Well, one of the things I'm going to make sure
that the richest among us who can afford it, pay
their fair share in taxes. It is not right that
teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax
rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations. And I plan
on making that fair.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
But we're dealing with the real world here. But the
real world includes how are you going to get this
to Congress?

Speaker 4 (20:35):
You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of
folks in Congress, they know exactly what I'm talking about
because their constituents know exactly what I'm talking about. Their
constituents are those firefighters and teachers and nurses.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh my, he is a parody of political rhetoric. I
mean everything that she says, every statement she makes in
responds to questions about decisions. What are you going to do?
It's you know, there's great things in America and economy,
middle class fair. None of this adds up to anything.

(21:11):
And this is why she wasn't doing interviews before. Also,
I'm so sick of some arguments that are made that
are just so fundamentally dishonest. Firefighters and nurses and teachers
don't pay a higher tax rate than billionaires. That is
a lie. And let me explain why. First of all, fuck,
do you know the number? Only half of Americans even

(21:34):
pay federal income taxes, So we're talking about immediately, nobody
there ever talks about this. Over half the number is
now of Americans never pay a dollar in income taxes. Now,
so security taxes, if you have a job, sales taxes,
those things are paid. But we're talking about income taxes,
which is what she's talking about here, So immediately you

(21:56):
can take half of the entire United States population off
the board when it comes to income taxes. What she
is saying and trying to argue here is billionaires pay
a lower tax rate. That's only true if you look
at unrealized capital gains, which are not actual dollars that
they have translated into cash. And this is a radical

(22:20):
proposition that has become a major Democrat talking point, and
there needs to be more pushing back on it because,
and this is important. You might be sitting out there saying,
I'm not a billionaire. I don't care if they talk
about unrealized capital gains. Do you own a home, because
what they're saying is that one day somebody could look
at your home and they could say, hey, yeah, you

(22:41):
bought that house forty years ago for one hundred thousand dollars,
but now it's worth six hundred thousand dollars. You have
an unrealized capital gain on your home of five hundred
thousand dollars, and we want to tax that because keep
this in mind, as soon as they establish that unreal
capital gains are permissible, do you think that's gonna end

(23:04):
taxing it? That is, do you think it's gonna end
with billionaires? Has anything ever ended with billionaires? Though? Once
they get democrats The proposition that money that you haven't
realized and for people out there who don't know what
I'm talking about, if you have an asset like the
house is a good example that you haven't sold, but
it's worth more than you paid for it, that is

(23:25):
an unrealized capital gains. If you sell that home, at
some point, you would have to pay the tax on
the dollar amount that you have made. Billionaires, oftentimes buck
cannot sell their shares in their companies because that's where
most of the wealth of billionaires comes. They found a
company like Elon Musk, they own a certain percentage of

(23:46):
the company. They can't sell the stock and retain the ownership.
And what they're trying to say is, oh, you have
to pay tax on money that you haven't actually put
in your pocket. That's the argument she's making there. You
have a high level of sophistication and knowledge of the
tax code than you know, the average people do. Play
maybe I do as well. I mean, these are things

(24:07):
we started to talk and think a lot about. I
bring that up because notice how with Democrats they'll talk
about fair share, what's fair, They're really just playing to
the politics of envy. They're not going to no matter what.
We have millionaires who listen to this show, we have
people in public housing who listen to this show. Yes,
and guess what. Democrats aren't going to make the lives

(24:28):
of those who are financially struggling better with these plans
because that never they never do. That's always the false promise.
But it appeals to certain people to think that the
reason that they aren't where they should be financially. You
and I have opened guys with no assets and no money.
The reason that they do this is because it appeals

(24:51):
to the politics of envy. Why do they never talk
about just making the tax code far simpler than it is.
I mean, it's thousands and thousands of pages long, tens
of thousands. I think when you add you know, the
various you know things, you can sort of tack onto
it into the mix. Why isn't the tax code like
a page long? You know? Ted Cruz was talking to
this actually when he's running in twenty sixteen. If they

(25:13):
made it really simple and everybody could understand the numbers,
there would be less room for social engineering, socialism, and
political nonsense lying about what's really going on the one
percent in this country. I think the top one percent
pays twenty twenty five percent. Look at that number, it's

(25:35):
an insane amount. I mean, so, so the top one
percent of in terms of income tax are paying about
twenty to twenty five. I think the top, the top
fifty percent pay all of the taxes. Okay, so if
you're in the bottom fifty percent of earners, you're basically
paying no income taxes, as you pointed out, But also
like this is just well, what are they really what

(25:55):
are they really gonna do? They're gonna give you what,
They're going to give you more subsidies for Obama, I'm
a care exchange for a healthcare plan that's not very good.
That's increasingly looking more like Canada with wait times and
carve outs and not giving you the network you want.
I mean, what are they really going to do. They're
going to wipe away you know, gender studies degrees at
second and third tier colleges wiped way that the debt.

(26:16):
I mean for gender studies degrees. You know, none of
this is going to make the lives of the American
people better. The American people actually just want government to
get out of the way. What was so amazing about
Calvin Coolidge. Everyone's like, oh, you got to fix everything. Oh,
the tax rate was too high, there was too much regulation,
and the government was in the way. He's like, hey,
I've got an idea. Let's let the business of the
American people be business. It's a great line. I will

(26:40):
also point out to your argument on tax code. Nobody
knows what they owe. Think about the system we have
created where the government won't tell you what you owe,
but will tell you if you pay something different than
what they think that you owe, they will put you
in prison. I'm sorry, Like, you can be a genius

(27:02):
and buck to your point. The more complicated your tax
return gets, the more you recognize I could go higher
This is not an exaggeration. I could go higher ten
highly skilled accountants to handle my twenty twenty four tax return,
super smart, brilliant guys, and all ten would give me

(27:24):
a different amount of what taxes I owe, every single
one of them. Now, some may be close, some may
be far apart. Ten brilliant accountants. If you have the
most skilled, talented, well educated accountants in America and you
give them a tax code like mine and say, hey,
just tell me what I owe, and they all come

(27:45):
up with a different number, it's a pretty good sign
that the tax code is broken. And I think many
of you out there feel it. And so when I
see arguments like Kamala is saying, oh, teachers, firefighters, and
nurses pay a higher rate than Elon Musk, it's a
lie and it's a dirty, rotten Why that's designed, as
you said, Buck, to create economic disunion in this country

(28:07):
and make people envious and anti capitalistic, and designed to
sow discord in the country and make people think that
they're getting taken advantage of. And when you really dig
into this a little bit more, what you find is
that what matters to people, to you know, the middle class,
which is also what even constitutes middle class. There's a

(28:28):
lot of debate over this, right, you just mean everyday Americans,
people who work, or people who are homemakers and have
an earner in the household that you know, just just
everyday Americans. You know what makes their life harder and
makes it harder for them to pay their bills. Inflation?
You know what creates inflation, excess government spending. This is
as and so while she's talking about the taxes, she's

(28:48):
really just trying to move poor government policy onto the
shoulders of high earners, fellow Americans who are doing well financially.
And again, while I understand the politics of envy are
very powerful for Democrats, and they think with emotion, not
with numbers, Clay, the best thing that they could do
is actually have the kind of economy that Donald Trump

(29:10):
presided over, in which unemployment was super low. You see,
by the way the government, I mean the jobs are
just created a huge portion of its government jobs. Yes,
whichever one needs to know. These government jobs they're actually
non sorry I used to have one. They're non productive
to the economy. They're effectively attacks on all of us,
and the government is increasingly just a jobs program for

(29:32):
people who might have trouble getting jobs somewhere else. There's
a lot of important work done in government. Not saying everybody,
but the expansion of government is proceeding at a pace
where this is now burdensome on the American people. But
this is the kind of stuff that if you pay attention,
you look at what's happening in the economy, you'd understand
Kamala Harris has no idea.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
She has no idea.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
She lives in a six million dollar mansion in Brentwood
because her husband's a rich lawyer, like she doesn't. She's
not in the struggle. When do you need The last
time was that Kamala Harris has had to worry Clay about,
you know, the rent check bouncing before she started sleeping
with Willie Brown. Honestly, once he gave her, once he
gave her four hundred thousand dollars in state jobs, she's

(30:14):
never had to worry about paying for what she needs
for the rest of her life. I mean, that's the truth.
Thanks she was twenty nine and he gave her four
hundred k, which you think about thirty years ago, four
hundred K is a lot of money. Now think about
how much money four hundred K was in like nineteen nineties,
late eighties when Kamala Harris was getting paid by the
guy she was sleeping with a lot of money. Sheendon
had to worry since then, She's only worked in government

(30:37):
her entire life. Wasn't that long ago. Seventy five percent

you have to go sign up for a subscription at

(32:45):

It will not be personalized, so I appreciate all of
you out there that want me to sit around signing
books for the rest of my life. Not personalized, but
I promise you, with one of these blue pins that
I have in my hand, pretty much throughout the course
of this radio show, I will sign a copy of
the book and Buck, you will get the best coffee

(33:08):
that loves America in America Crocketcoffee dot Com, and you'll
be set up to be able to come. We're going
to do a spring event down at the Alamo of
some sort in San Antonio. Been talking about this for
a while. We got to figure out exact dates. All
those things. You'll get an invite to that you'll have
to pay for yourself to get there. We're not paying
for all that, but free copy of my book when

(33:29):
you sign up. If you go to Crocketcoffee dot com
right now and then maybe in the future when Bucks
book comes out, we will continue this. It's going to
be a lot of fun. We want to give back
to you. We were trying to think of something cool
that we thought you guys would like. There you go,
and everybody who's already subscribed will also get an autograph copy.
So you are getting a gift you didn't even know

(33:51):
you were getting. Boom, our gift to you, our thanks
to you for making Crockett Coffee such a success in
the first year. We wanted to do something fun for
the holidays. Here you go. You got it, Buck, This

and I'm excited. I think that you guys are building
this company because you understand that one we're giving ten

(34:14):
percent of the profits Tunnel the Towers Foundation too. The
coffee is actually delicious and we take very take a
lot of pride in that. And we're planning other great
things and events and so this is just something I
hope you will join. Sign up Crockodcoffee dot com. We'll
be fantastic. Clay We've got coming up here. Sean Parnell

(34:35):
will be with us. Who is at the big rally
in Butler, Pennsylvania. Yes, I believe he spoke at one
point in the rally as well. He'll tell us what
that was like. But also you know he is a
Western Pa born and raised guy has run for office
in Pennsylvania. Knows the ropes there very well. He's gonna
tell us exactly where things stand, what he's hearing about

(34:58):
the internals of the campaigns. Because I really do think
if you could tell me right now, Trump has Pennsylvania
in the bag, and it's assume it's true. I think
Trump has the election in the bag, right, that's yeah.
If he's one Pennsylvania, I would get I would think
the odds would go ten to one or one to
ten that he would win the whole thing. Whatever, one

(35:19):
to ten, one to ten, he'll win the whole thing.
If I do agree with you, if you told me
right now, hey, Clay, you get an insider peak at
one state results. If you gave me Pennsylvania, we'd be
able to come on and tell you exactly what's going
to happen in the election. Because if Trump wins Pennsylvania,

(35:39):
then this race is effectively over. Now, you need to
go vote in North Carolina. We know that they're not
making it easy, particularly for those of you in Western Carolina.
With the response, you need to go vote in Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan.
I think one of the best arguments Trump has made
is we need to make this race too big to rig.

(36:01):
You need to make it such an overwhelming victory for
Trump that even Kamala and the Democrats who are going
to try to put all the shenanigans and rig jobs
in place, that they can that even they can't deny
the tidal Way. We'll talk about that with Sean Parnell
next we come back. Appreciate all of you
