Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We got
a bunch to get into Buck. 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
(00:21):
good at using the microwave.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
And there we good.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Remember twenty years ago when we lived together in a condo,
that I was much better at using that oven to
cook pizzas.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
So there you go my culinary ability. What is your
microwave all star meal?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Like? If you what is your absolute good? I'm gonna
tell you right now. I'm a big frozen chicken nuggets guy.
That gets me.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I always love you know.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
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. I would I would say, I'd
(01:05):
buy some people say what do you eat? I go
into the Kroger, buy 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. I think I'm pretty good at that. And
for people who watch us on Clay and Buck, we
(01:26):
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 and
so I don't have like really defined significant meals by
(01:47):
and large.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I'm just grabbing things on the go most of the time.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
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. But I want
(02:11):
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 this in general, and
(02:38):
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. And look, I'm not
saying Biden likes Trump. He does not, but I think
(03:00):
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 3 (03:07):
But listen to cut two here, mister.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Pres does Santas need to take Vice President Harris's calls?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Paul, I can tell you that I'm talking to government
de Santis.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
He's been very gracious, He's thank me for all we've done.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
He knows what we're doing, and I think that's important.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
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
(03:48):
he said he had been great as well.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
What do you make of this because it seems.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
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 the behavior of DeSantis and in
no way saying like, yeah, Kamala should get a phone
call here.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, NBC News just reporting now 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 is
(04:32):
not aware of a lot. I mean, no, no, a
normal person would know why you're you're not really buck.
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
(04:55):
day he's responded to that question. And you're telling me
nobody told him anything about this at all. The Biden Biden.
Can the Biden White House is putting an alibi out
to the media that he just didn't know.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well, that's by the way of him if it were
actually true. But I don't even buy that.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
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 h I don't know his grandkids or something, uh,
and still can't remember it, and I would say, yeah, no,
(05:32):
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 a second, Clay.
This is this shows exactly why the plan had been
until recently. Hide Kamala. Let NBC News, let CBS News,
(05:54):
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
(06:16):
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 going
to be a severe a hurricane, any sort of severe
weather event like that, and any honestly of any kind
(06:38):
anywhere in the country, who's the first governor that comes
to mind, I'd say Ron DeSantis, and I think that
there's a lot of evidence that you'd support that. 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 Santi has already made that point
(07:00):
very well. But beyond that, Clay, Okay, what is she
going to do on the call? Well, she's a she
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
(07:22):
an opening here. There's no opening for.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
This, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
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 1 (07:38):
We 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. But this is
(07:58):
just what a disaster it has been. Listen to DeSantis
cut three, just obliterate Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
The fact of the matter is they put out a
story saying I didn't take I didn't even know she.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Was trying to reach me.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
But she has no role in this process. And I've
been 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.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
So is the.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
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 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
(08:48):
natural disasters.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
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 is she she has there is no opening for
her here. There is no 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
(09:13):
unforced 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 1 (09:22):
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. She
(09:43):
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 Santus team was asked about this because
nobody would have known about it but for Kamala, and
(10:05):
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.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Let's just ignore it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We can say that we tried to reach out and
we offered as much help as we possibly could, and
then that'll just 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
(10:44):
appreciate the fact that NBC News is saying, oh, Joe
Biden didn't know about this, Come on that two days
in a row he responded to a direct question about
Kamala Harris and Ron Desant'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
(11:05):
the president, right, wouldn't you walk immediately out of the
press conference and be like, hey, what was that question
about with Kamala and DeSantis?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
What's the story there?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
If his staff didn't tell him immediately after the first answer,
then that they are completely failing in their behavior. He
never takes questions. He took questions on it two days
in a row.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
He knows. Maybe they don't want it to blow up
like it has, right, but this is just the story.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
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
closing argument? Of the Kamala campaign. Democracy is at stake,
(11:54):
that's just that's just.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
A dog to use this.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, that's just cult talking points that 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 Blues state has abortioned, you know,
more abortion freedom or more liberal abortion laws, whatever you
want to say, than anywhere in the world except for
(12:20):
North Korea and China. So I don't know. I see this,
and I know that there are a lot of 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.
(12:41):
For example, our friend Ryan Grodowski points out on Twitter,
you ready for this, everybody, Both the New York Times
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
(13:04):
for a Trump win. I mean Trump absolutely. If Trump
gets twenty four percent of the Black vote, I still
don't think that's going to happen. Sadly, but if he does,
this election is a total wipeout for Kamala Harrison the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
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
(13:40):
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 (13:51):
Going to get over vote.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't think he's going to get over twenty percent
of the black vote overall. So I feel confident in that.
I'm 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.
(14:13):
So that's an indicator 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. 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
(14:33):
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
is Bear Creek Arsenal. The last three firearms I have
(14:55):
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,
there are companies in the firearms 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 mouth out there in the two a community for
people who are saying, wow, you can get this quality
(15:17):
at this price point. I'm talking pistols, I'm talking rifles, uppers, lowers.
It's I mean, I just go and peruse the Bear
Creek website sometimes because they've got so much great stuff.
You see all the different calibers and what they've got
on offer right now. You know, they've got yeah, of
course five, five, six, two, two three, what you would expect.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. You know, even over
at the Daily Show they're not feeling so good about
what's going on with Kamala Harris. This is this guy,
Jordan Jordan Klepper. Is that right? I don't know this guy.
He's the host. I don't watch the Daily Show. Apparently
really nobody else does anymore. And thanks Trevor Noah, here
(16:43):
we go. He's talking about how Harris doesn't differentiate from Biden.
This is fifteen play.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
This media blitz is not a moment too soon, because
voters are looking for change and Kamala needs to articulate
why she's the candidate of change. She said, plenty of
time to think about it. So let's your answer.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
If anything, would you have done something differently than President
Biden during the past four years?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
There is not a thing that comes to mind.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Okay, okay, not a thing has coming into your mind?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You Red Clay continue in the Yeah. I mean, he's
not funny, but I'm glad he's even there playing That
is a Trump campaign had now Clay, the notion of
the of the sitting vice president as an agent of
change in American politics is a scam. The whole thing's
a scam.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I also think Buck the reaction of that crowd was
actually super telling because that's a Democrat crowd and they
all kind of grown that not one single thing.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Would you do different.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Which if that's resonating with Democrat voters, imagine how it's
resonating with independent voters and people out there that are
making it.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I can even do better this and be like, Oh,
I'm going to add to the great things I'm gonna
take us in the future. I got to finish the job.
You know, a political rhetoric, some kind of garbage. She's horrible,
She's just horrible at this. Look. You don't want to
be one of these guys who's like, oh, I've got
a Kamala Walls hat on, and I like, no, no, no.
You want the energy, the drive, the masculinity that you
need to get the most out of your day to achieve,

in play Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you
(19:04):
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, so we
appreciate him being out on the road with you. But Dave,
(19:29):
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
that can decide not only the presidency but the Senate.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
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
(20:13):
have been better for the Democrats that have Joe Biden
because Scranton 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
(20:36):
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
(20:57):
the same with Harris Waltz. So that's why you see
this shift. My pullings all closing. I feel great momentum
on the ground, and I think I think if we
keep this up, we're going to win.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
How much are you seeing 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's talking beforehand. We're hopeful that you'll
be joining him on this endit. But it looks like
Tim Sheehey, for example, is just blowing out incumbent Tesla
and Montana. So there's some really good trends right now.
(21:30):
The wind seems to be at the back of top
tier GOP candidates.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Including you.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
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 for Casey in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I'm not really a Democrat, I'm a Maverick. What are
they doing? I'm just want to be familiar with where
they are.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
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
(22:23):
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
(22:44):
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
the China tariffs in place. I mean, it's just so ridiculous.
President Trump was 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. And then and then
(23:08):
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 he's not
been for this. He sort of bought into Michelle Obama's
ridiculous idea that we should take whole milk out of schools,
And just last week he flip flopped on this issue.
(23:30):
He's flip flopped on many issues. He's all of a
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
regulations and red tape and lawsuits and and don't do
anything and that's exactly what he's done. So he's he's
starting it. He's starting it to panic and and I
(23:53):
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
mental toughness. It's about heart, it's about staying in offense.
(24:14):
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 wavering.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
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
(24:46):
before the election. I think if I've got that date right,
and we're going to be in State College.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
There are events, and there are events. This is Clay
Travis Penn State, Ohio State w a huge tailgate you
and I save 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,
(25:15):
so this is going to be a big one.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
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
(25:39):
the years. What did it feel like to be back
in Butler. What was that experience like for you?
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Well, you know, as you know, that 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 you want to talk about the border,
and then have me back up later and the bullets
follows soon there after. 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.
(26:10):
It's a time for strength. And the President Trump we
saw on that stage at the first Butler Rally.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Shot under fire.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
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's strained. Second reaction was I
sat next to the Compertour family, his widow and his
(26:37):
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 saved their lives.
But it was also just you know, a family that
lost lost dad, lost a husband and seeing it through
(27:01):
their eyes a tribute to their husband, Corey the father,
but also just the sadness the loss was really it
really it almost hit me much more by being with
them than the first rally did, even though I know,
you know, we had lost his life. Seeing it like
that really really left the mark.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Speaking to Dave 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 a very important Senate
battle underway there. Amazing to hear that you're being out
outspent by, not that he's spending one hundred million dollars,
that you're being outspent by one hundred million dollars. I
(27:46):
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 because you're out
there doing what you do and campaigning, and you know
it's it's the absolute sprint part of this campaign, Dave.
(28:07):
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 h 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 6 (28:27):
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 is they all end
at some point, and so people who I am, so
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 Pennsylvania and outsider, a business guy at
(28:50):
a west point grab a combat van, against someone who's
been a career politician, who's been weak, and who has
voted for these extreme liberal policies. And then I end,
I think, 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
(29:11):
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 the fence
that they should take a chance on new leadership.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
We're talking to Dave McCormick.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I'm curious in Pennsylvania political circles Democrat, Republican, Independent, are
there people starting to look around saying, what in the
world was Kamala 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 to Buck's
point people who are trying to decide how they're going
to vote, but even Democrats have to be a little
(29:48):
bit panicked right now with what they're seeing right Well.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Totally well, I'd say Center saliv and I were just
talking about that. I'd say two things. One, just as
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.
(30:11):
But I think it says a lot about the Democratic Party.
I think it's impossible to imagine that the fact that
Governor Shapiro's 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
(30:32):
who's far more able and far more capable of stepping
into the presidency than what Governor Watsh is demonstrating every day,
which is he's just in over his head. This is
not a guy who's ready to assume the mantel 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 of leadership. I think it was a
(30:55):
miscalculation that showed weakness and moral.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Failure, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
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
(31:21):
you President Trump and other Republicans across the finish line here?
Speaker 6 (31:27):
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. It's 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
(31:49):
get out there, people to submit their ballots early, 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 a good,
good leadership to take us forward. I'm a Republican, I'm
a conservative, but I'm running to represent all Pennsylvanians and
(32:12):
we need leadership and change. And these these problems, the
sky high prices, the fentanyl crisis, the war on fossil fuse.
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
(32:35):
there for people want to volunteer. But we got it.
We got to energize our voters because this is the
most important election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Dave MCCORMICKPA 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 to also
win back the country.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Keep up the good work.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
Thanks guys, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
No doubt that's Dave McCormack. 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 3 (33:07):
Look.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
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.
(33:28):
Ongoing 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 Birch Gold Group to help us. Birch

Keep up with Clay and Bucks campaign coverage with twenty
four a Sunday highlight reel from the week. Find it
on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Welcome back into Clay and Fuck. Look, it's looking good,
but it ain't over until it's over. And you just
had their the opponent of Bob KC Dave McCormick running
against an entrenched incumbent. And these some of these Democrat incumbents,
they're they're top, they know the game, they're wiley, they're cunning.
(35:04):
Same thing with bald one up in Wisconsin against our
buddy Eric Hovedy. All of you in Wisconsin, you gotta
let's get let's get a huve DW and let's get
a McCormick W in Pennsylvania. But either one of those
could be heartbreakers. I'm just gonna be honest with you.
It's gonna be close. I think Clay I had said
what the presidential spend was, and that's amazing to me.
(35:26):
In Pennsylvania being outspent by one hundred million dollars in
a Senate race in they must be spending two hundred
million plus against McCormick in Pennsylvania in that Senate race.
They have to be, and.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
They haven't been able to move the numbers. This is
what we said a while back, and I think this
is what the problem with Biden was running into, is
there's nothing new you can say about Trump. Nobody out
there that dislikes Trump is unaware of Trump. Nobody out
there who likes Trump is unaware of Trump. And ultimately
(36:00):
comes back to do you think Biden and Kamala have
done a good job? And if you think the answer
is yes, you should vote for kama You should.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
If you've loved for the last four years, though, Yeah,
of a.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Wide open border, the worst that has ever been, Inflation
that makes it harder for you to afford a grocery,
that's making you run up credit card bills, that makes
it harder for you to pay your mortgage or buy
your first home with rates where they've been. If you
like the war between Russia and Ukraine, if you think
that a destabilized Middle East and a terror attack on
(36:35):
our Israeli friends and allies. That's the worst we've seen
since nine to eleven. If that's the kind of leadership
you want, vote Biden. The problem is Kamala is trying
to tell everybody she's not just a Democrat Clay, she's
his second in command. And they're saying, why can't Kamala
convince everybody that she's change, because that's insane.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I agree
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We got
a bunch to get into Buck. 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
(00:21):
good at using the microwave.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
And there we good.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Remember twenty years ago when we lived together in a condo,
that I was much better at using that oven to
cook pizzas.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
So there you go my culinary ability. What is your
microwave all star meal?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Like? If you what is your absolute good? I'm gonna
tell you right now. I'm a big frozen chicken nuggets guy.
That gets me.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I always love you know.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
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. I would I would say, I'd
(01:05):
buy some people say what do you eat? I go
into the Kroger, buy 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. I think I'm pretty good at that. And
for people who watch us on Clay and Buck, we
(01:26):
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 and
so I don't have like really defined significant meals by
(01:47):
and large.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I'm just grabbing things on the go most of the time.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
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. But I want
(02:11):
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 this in general, and
(02:38):
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. And look, I'm not
saying Biden likes Trump. He does not, but I think
(03:00):
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 3 (03:07):
But listen to cut two here, mister.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Pres does Santas need to take Vice President Harris's calls?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Paul, I can tell you that I'm talking to government
de Santis.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
He's been very gracious, He's thank me for all we've done.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
He knows what we're doing, and I think that's important.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
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
(03:48):
he said he had been great as well.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
What do you make of this because it seems.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
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 the behavior of DeSantis and in
no way saying like, yeah, Kamala should get a phone
call here.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, NBC News just reporting now 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 is
(04:32):
not aware of a lot. I mean, no, no, a
normal person would know why you're you're not really buck.
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
(04:55):
day he's responded to that question. And you're telling me
nobody told him anything about this at all. The Biden Biden.
Can the Biden White House is putting an alibi out
to the media that he just didn't know.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well, that's by the way of him if it were
actually true. But I don't even buy that.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
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 h I don't know his grandkids or something, uh,
and still can't remember it, and I would say, yeah, no,
(05:32):
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 a second, Clay.
This is this shows exactly why the plan had been
until recently. Hide Kamala. Let NBC News, let CBS News,
(05:54):
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
(06:16):
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 going
to be a severe a hurricane, any sort of severe
weather event like that, and any honestly of any kind
(06:38):
anywhere in the country, who's the first governor that comes
to mind, I'd say Ron DeSantis, and I think that
there's a lot of evidence that you'd support that. 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 Santi has already made that point
(07:00):
very well. But beyond that, Clay, Okay, what is she
going to do on the call? Well, she's a she
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
(07:22):
an opening here. There's no opening for.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
This, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
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 1 (07:38):
We 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. But this is
(07:58):
just what a disaster it has been. Listen to DeSantis
cut three, just obliterate Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
The fact of the matter is they put out a
story saying I didn't take I didn't even know she.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Was trying to reach me.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
But she has no role in this process. And I've
been 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.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
So is the.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
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 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
(08:48):
natural disasters.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
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 is she she has there is no opening for
her here. There is no 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
(09:13):
unforced 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 1 (09:22):
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. She
(09:43):
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 Santus team was asked about this because
nobody would have known about it but for Kamala, and
(10:05):
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.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Let's just ignore it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We can say that we tried to reach out and
we offered as much help as we possibly could, and
then that'll just 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
(10:44):
appreciate the fact that NBC News is saying, oh, Joe
Biden didn't know about this, Come on that two days
in a row he responded to a direct question about
Kamala Harris and Ron Desant'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
(11:05):
the president, right, wouldn't you walk immediately out of the
press conference and be like, hey, what was that question
about with Kamala and DeSantis?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
What's the story there?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
If his staff didn't tell him immediately after the first answer,
then that they are completely failing in their behavior. He
never takes questions. He took questions on it two days
in a row.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
He knows. Maybe they don't want it to blow up
like it has, right, but this is just the story.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
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
closing argument? Of the Kamala campaign. Democracy is at stake,
(11:54):
that's just that's just.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
A dog to use this.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, that's just cult talking points that 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 Blues state has abortioned, you know,
more abortion freedom or more liberal abortion laws, whatever you
want to say, than anywhere in the world except for
(12:20):
North Korea and China. So I don't know. I see this,
and I know that there are a lot of 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.
(12:41):
For example, our friend Ryan Grodowski points out on Twitter,
you ready for this, everybody, Both the New York Times
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
(13:04):
for a Trump win. I mean Trump absolutely. If Trump
gets twenty four percent of the Black vote, I still
don't think that's going to happen. Sadly, but if he does,
this election is a total wipeout for Kamala Harrison the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
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
(13:40):
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 (13:51):
Going to get over vote.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't think he's going to get over twenty percent
of the black vote overall. So I feel confident in that.
I'm 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.
(14:13):
So that's an indicator 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. 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
(14:33):
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
is Bear Creek Arsenal. The last three firearms I have
(14:55):
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,
there are companies in the firearms 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 mouth out there in the two a community for
people who are saying, wow, you can get this quality
(15:17):

Welcome back into Clay and Buck. You know, even over
at the Daily Show they're not feeling so good about
what's going on with Kamala Harris. This is this guy,
Jordan Jordan Klepper. Is that right? I don't know this guy.
He's the host. I don't watch the Daily Show. Apparently
really nobody else does anymore. And thanks Trevor Noah, here
(16:43):
we go. He's talking about how Harris doesn't differentiate from Biden.
This is fifteen play.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
This media blitz is not a moment too soon, because
voters are looking for change and Kamala needs to articulate
why she's the candidate of change. She said, plenty of
time to think about it. So let's your answer.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
If anything, would you have done something differently than President
Biden during the past four years?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
There is not a thing that comes to mind.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Okay, okay, not a thing has coming into your mind?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You Red Clay continue in the Yeah. I mean, he's
not funny, but I'm glad he's even there playing That
is a Trump campaign had now Clay, the notion of
the of the sitting vice president as an agent of
change in American politics is a scam. The whole thing's
a scam.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I also think Buck the reaction of that crowd was
actually super telling because that's a Democrat crowd and they
all kind of grown that not one single thing.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Would you do different.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Which if that's resonating with Democrat voters, imagine how it's
resonating with independent voters and people out there that are
making it.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I can even do better this and be like, Oh,
I'm going to add to the great things I'm gonna
take us in the future. I got to finish the job.
You know, a political rhetoric, some kind of garbage. She's horrible,
She's just horrible at this. Look. You don't want to
be one of these guys who's like, oh, I've got
a Kamala Walls hat on, and I like, no, no, no.
You want the energy, the drive, the masculinity that you

in play Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you
(19:04):
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, so we
appreciate him being out on the road with you. But Dave,
(19:29):
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
that can decide not only the presidency but the Senate.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
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
(20:13):
have been better for the Democrats that have Joe Biden
because Scranton 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
(20:36):
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
(20:57):
the same with Harris Waltz. So that's why you see
this shift. My pullings all closing. I feel great momentum
on the ground, and I think I think if we
keep this up, we're going to win.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
How much are you seeing 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's talking beforehand. We're hopeful that you'll
be joining him on this endit. But it looks like
Tim Sheehey, for example, is just blowing out incumbent Tesla
and Montana. So there's some really good trends right now.
(21:30):
The wind seems to be at the back of top
tier GOP candidates.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Including you.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
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 for Casey in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I'm not really a Democrat, I'm a Maverick. What are
they doing? I'm just want to be familiar with where
they are.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
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
(22:23):
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
(22:44):
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
the China tariffs in place. I mean, it's just so ridiculous.
President Trump was 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. And then and then
(23:08):
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 he's not
been for this. He sort of bought into Michelle Obama's
ridiculous idea that we should take whole milk out of schools,
And just last week he flip flopped on this issue.
(23:30):
He's flip flopped on many issues. He's all of a
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
regulations and red tape and lawsuits and and don't do
anything and that's exactly what he's done. So he's he's
starting it. He's starting it to panic and and I
(23:53):
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
mental toughness. It's about heart, it's about staying in offense.
(24:14):
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 wavering.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
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
(24:46):
before the election. I think if I've got that date right,
and we're going to be in State College.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
There are events, and there are events. This is Clay
Travis Penn State, Ohio State w a huge tailgate you
and I save 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,
(25:15):
so this is going to be a big one.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
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
(25:39):
the years. What did it feel like to be back
in Butler. What was that experience like for you?
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Well, you know, as you know, that 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 you want to talk about the border,
and then have me back up later and the bullets
follows soon there after. 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.
(26:10):
It's a time for strength. And the President Trump we
saw on that stage at the first Butler Rally.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Shot under fire.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
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's strained. Second reaction was I
sat next to the Compertour family, his widow and his
(26:37):
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 saved their lives.
But it was also just you know, a family that
lost lost dad, lost a husband and seeing it through
(27:01):
their eyes a tribute to their husband, Corey the father,
but also just the sadness the loss was really it
really it almost hit me much more by being with
them than the first rally did, even though I know,
you know, we had lost his life. Seeing it like
that really really left the mark.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Speaking to Dave 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 a very important Senate
battle underway there. Amazing to hear that you're being out
outspent by, not that he's spending one hundred million dollars,
that you're being outspent by one hundred million dollars. I
(27:46):
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 because you're out
there doing what you do and campaigning, and you know
it's it's the absolute sprint part of this campaign, Dave.
(28:07):
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 h 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 6 (28:27):
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 is they all end
at some point, and so people who I am, so
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 Pennsylvania and outsider, a business guy at
(28:50):
a west point grab a combat van, against someone who's
been a career politician, who's been weak, and who has
voted for these extreme liberal policies. And then I end,
I think, 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
(29:11):
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 the fence
that they should take a chance on new leadership.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
We're talking to Dave McCormick.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I'm curious in Pennsylvania political circles Democrat, Republican, Independent, are
there people starting to look around saying, what in the
world was Kamala 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 to Buck's
point people who are trying to decide how they're going
to vote, but even Democrats have to be a little
(29:48):
bit panicked right now with what they're seeing right Well.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Totally well, I'd say Center saliv and I were just
talking about that. I'd say two things. One, just as
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.
(30:11):
But I think it says a lot about the Democratic Party.
I think it's impossible to imagine that the fact that
Governor Shapiro's 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
(30:32):
who's far more able and far more capable of stepping
into the presidency than what Governor Watsh is demonstrating every day,
which is he's just in over his head. This is
not a guy who's ready to assume the mantel 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 of leadership. I think it was a
(30:55):
miscalculation that showed weakness and moral.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Failure, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
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
(31:21):
you President Trump and other Republicans across the finish line here?
Speaker 6 (31:27):
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. It's 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
(31:49):
get out there, people to submit their ballots early, 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 a good,
good leadership to take us forward. I'm a Republican, I'm
a conservative, but I'm running to represent all Pennsylvanians and
(32:12):
we need leadership and change. And these these problems, the
sky high prices, the fentanyl crisis, the war on fossil fuse.
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
(32:35):
there for people want to volunteer. But we got it.
We got to energize our voters because this is the
most important election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Dave MCCORMICKPA 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 to also
win back the country.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Keep up the good work.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
Thanks guys, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
No doubt that's Dave McCormack. 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 3 (33:07):
Look.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
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.
(33:28):
Ongoing 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 Birch Gold Group to help us. Birch

Keep up with Clay and Bucks campaign coverage with twenty
four a Sunday highlight reel from the week. Find it
on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Welcome back into Clay and Fuck. Look, it's looking good,
but it ain't over until it's over. And you just
had their the opponent of Bob KC Dave McCormick running
against an entrenched incumbent. And these some of these Democrat incumbents,
they're they're top, they know the game, they're wiley, they're cunning.
(35:04):
Same thing with bald one up in Wisconsin against our
buddy Eric Hovedy. All of you in Wisconsin, you gotta
let's get let's get a huve DW and let's get
a McCormick W in Pennsylvania. But either one of those
could be heartbreakers. I'm just gonna be honest with you.
It's gonna be close. I think Clay I had said
what the presidential spend was, and that's amazing to me.
(35:26):
In Pennsylvania being outspent by one hundred million dollars in
a Senate race in they must be spending two hundred
million plus against McCormick in Pennsylvania in that Senate race.
They have to be, and.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
They haven't been able to move the numbers. This is
what we said a while back, and I think this
is what the problem with Biden was running into, is
there's nothing new you can say about Trump. Nobody out
there that dislikes Trump is unaware of Trump. Nobody out
there who likes Trump is unaware of Trump. And ultimately
(36:00):
comes back to do you think Biden and Kamala have
done a good job? And if you think the answer
is yes, you should vote for kama You should.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
If you've loved for the last four years, though, Yeah,
of a.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Wide open border, the worst that has ever been, Inflation
that makes it harder for you to afford a grocery,
that's making you run up credit card bills, that makes
it harder for you to pay your mortgage or buy
your first home with rates where they've been. If you
like the war between Russia and Ukraine, if you think
that a destabilized Middle East and a terror attack on
(36:35):
our Israeli friends and allies. That's the worst we've seen
since nine to eleven. If that's the kind of leadership
you want, vote Biden. The problem is Kamala is trying
to tell everybody she's not just a Democrat Clay, she's
his second in command. And they're saying, why can't Kamala
convince everybody that she's change, because that's insane.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I agree
