Speaker 1 (00:00):
Third hour Clay and Buck jumps off, kicks off, jumps
in any of the above right now, it's going right now,
there we go, there we are. Let's dive into Clay
on vacation today. Buck here solo, coming to you from
South Florida. Trump Country down here in South Florida. That's right.
(00:20):
Trump won Miami Dade. I'm just saying, I moved to
Miami Dade, Miami Dade becomes red. Is it a coincidence?
I think not. We have a lot of reaction to
the Trump appointments. The three that are getting all the
attention from the media right now are Tulsi Tulci has
(00:41):
d and I Pete Hegseth as a Secretary of Defense.
And the one that has completely freaked out the Democrats,
Matt Gets for possible Attorney General. I'll be honest with you,
Da is the only one that I didn't see coming
at all. So that's not passing Jude been one or
the other. I'm just I didn't know that was in
the mix. So there we go. He's resigned his seat
(01:04):
in Congress already, and the Democrats seem very both upset
and somewhat terrified of this. So to me, that must
be a good thing because we need there to be
a reckoning, We need there to be justice done and
a cleaning out of the DJ. I also wanted to
take a moment to focus here on the reckoning that
(01:27):
the Democrat media is having. Let's not forget for a
second that whether it was the Sunday shows you know,
like Washington this week or this week in Washington, or
it's Washington and this is a week, I mean, all
those shows are the same to me. I don't watch them.
I don't. I've seen them, but they're not good, so
I don't spend any time with them. The different network
(01:50):
political shows. I mean, think about this. You're gonna wait
until Sunday to get your news and your political analysis.
You can get better political analysis on this show five
days a week, so it's not like you have to
wait till Sunday. That's an old model. It makes no sense.
They've got viewers who are I think, just in in
habit of watching that, and they continue to and a
Democrat propaganda so they have the people that they like
(02:13):
tell them what they want to hear. But the Democrat
aligned media has had a massive flop in this election
because they didn't just endorse Donald Trump's opponent. They said
that Donald Trump was hitler. They didn't just say that
they were upset at the prospect of a Trump victory.
(02:37):
They said that they would leave. I have seen one apparently,
check me on this one. Team. Eva Longoria, formerly an actress,
now an annoying political activist, says that she and her
family are actually leaving the country because Trump won. I
think this may be the first time that I can
(02:57):
think of, we're an actress would have left actually followed
through on the you know, they all do that, like
if Trump wins, I'm leaving the country, and it never happens, right,
it never happens. But I think that she maybe the
first one that I've seen that is is planning to
go through with this and and is actually going to Yeah,
(03:19):
says they're going to live between Spain and Mexico. Okay, yeah,
really Uh no, no corruption in Mexico. By the way,
if you if you're looking for sound government, governance, if
you're looking for rule of law and elections that are
only on the up and up and no corruption, Mexico
is really the that's the jam, that's where you want
(03:40):
to go. Uh, never mind, what's going on in Spain.
So anyway, the media is realizing they they no longer
have the power. Even if they go to their absolute max.
They can at ABC, NBC, CBS, The New York Times,
they can take the volume spinal tap style to eleven.
(04:03):
Remember that volume is going to be eleven, No ten eleven.
They can take it up to eleven and it doesn't
change anything. Their candidate can lose in a big election,
the biggest loss we've seen in decades. And so now
what happens, Well, you see that there's talk that MSNBC
could be purchased by conservatives, and because MSNBC is a
(04:27):
unit of a publicly traded company, there is the argument
that could be made, just like there was with Twitter
when Twitter was public, that if a good enough bid
comes along, there is a fiduciary responsibility of Comcast to
take that bid for the shareholders. So it's not just
about whether or not they want to sell to a conservative,
(04:50):
let's say, or a conservative consortium if they were to
put it on the market, on the shopping block, so
to speak, and a conservative, I don't know, maybe a
conservative who sends a lot of rockets into space and
already bought a massive social media platform and spends a
lot of time with Trump or maybe another conservative. I mean,
there's a bunch of different possibilities here, but buying MSNBC
(05:13):
and flipping it into a I don't think you have
to be conservative conservative. If you made MSNBC either a
true free speech news platform, conservative voices would win, but
you'd have some interesting discussions I think on there. The
old legacy media, the old guard is scrambling right now
(05:35):
because they do not have the power they used to
have is gone. You know, you've been seeing this build
for a while. I'll never forget. I can't remember what
year it was, but it was just a few years back,
and the New York Times when Tucker still had his
show on Fox News. The New York Times did I
think it was a front page Sunday story and it
(05:57):
was something like Tucker Carlson White National, Like that wasn't
the title, but that was what this story was about.
And I remember I grew up in New York City,
and I grew up in a household we actually subscribed
to The New York Times. We switched over to Washington
Wall Street Journal. But you know, when I was in
high school, We had the hard copy of The Times
being dropped off every day. That's the newspaper that I
would read sometimes, and the New York Times if they
(06:21):
had put a front page story out in the year
two thousand, let's say of this Republican as an actual
white nationalist or not. You know, not that Tucker is
a politician, but you know, just the reputational assault that
they would have been able to do, and damage they
would have been able to do, it would have been
really serious. You know. You you would have had jobs
(06:41):
that you would have lost. You would have been pushed
out of polite society. We all laughed at it. Tucker
and Know laughed at it. Everyone laughed at it. We'll like, yeah, please,
New York Times, give me a break to cross the
white national It was so absurd, but it was you
were starting to see the last gasps of a dying
meteor regime. And that's where they are now. It's gonna
(07:03):
take a while. It's not like they're just gonna disappear tomorrow.
But the whole facade, that whole storyline of oh, we're
not partisan. Who was that? Was it? The Washington Post
had that woman. We played her SoundBite a few days
ago where she was like, excuse me, I am not
a democrat, I'm a journalist. Yeah. That might have worked
(07:26):
two decades ago, maybe even a decade ago, but now
that's just adorable. I'm not a democrat. I'm a journalist.
Sure you are. And it's true over at CNA's true
over at MSNBC. Now here's what's fun. ABC is scrambling,
according to The New York Post, to bring in a
pro Trump voice to the View as well as other shows.
(07:49):
I mean, the buckster is available. I'm just throwing that
out there, not for radio, but little TV, a little
TV over there at the View. I'm telling you, I
would have so much much fun talking to those ladies.
But they wouldn't have fun talking to me. I don't think.
I mean they would if they kept it up in mind.
I have a rule about TV stuff, and it's really
(08:10):
a rule in life. Respect is always met with respect.
Kindness has always met with kindness. But the second you
want to poke the bear, things have to get a
little rough. The grizzlies got to pull out the claus,
you know what I mean, And they would have a
really tough time. I look at their cast. I don't
even know the name of this. So there's Whoopee. The
woman next to Whoopee, I don't know her name? Do
(08:31):
you any of you guys know her name? Team? What's her?
Sarah Haynes? Where's she from?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
How did that happen? NBC New? Yeah? ABC? Yeah, she's
totally replaceable with like fifteen other people that kind of
look like her from the news world that also have
no interesting opinions. And then what do you have? You
got Joy behar Clay and I have talked about this.
We think Joy would probably be pretty fun to hang
out with. Not very bright on Paula Tics, but you know,
(09:01):
I think I think Joey Bayhart, we'd have a fun chat.
Alyssa Farah, she's you know, used to work for Trump.
Turned on Trump felt like a good move. Then I
don't know if it feels like such a good move anymore.
I met her once or twice. I don't really know her,
so I can't I think that the sitting in the
seat of my job is to attack Trump as a
(09:24):
former Trump person. I just I couldn't do that. I
just couldn't do it. That's not that would be such
a in such friction with how I view myself and
how I view character like I'm not going to turn
on somebody who changed my life and gave me a
great opportunity, you know, and in fact, I always try
(09:47):
to go out of my way. I mean, like, I
am forever grateful to Glenn Beck for starting my career
in media, and I'm forever grateful to Rush Limbaugh by
letting me guess hos from many years, for dramatically elevating
and you know, sort of having a breakthrough in my
career in media. You know, those two were the first
men had come to mind. Megan Kelly in the in
the early days of Fox News was great to me
(10:07):
at Fox News. And at a time when you know,
again it's kind of funny people ask me why you
know what about Fox for you? I don't know, asked.
Fox never paid me a dollar. They had better things
to do. Fine, but uh, ABC brass scrambling to get
a pro Trump view on the view. This could be amazing.
(10:30):
I mean, this could be Think about this for a second,
you know, I I look, I think I'd be pretty good.
I've just said not not even like for a long
term thing, even just to do it a few times.
I could do what I did on Bill Maher, go
and explain to them ladies. Ladies, this is why the
Democrats got smoked. Okay, this is why you got this.
Why you guys lost. Let me tell you why. So
you really understand. You're not gonna browbeat me with you know,
(10:53):
Oh but Trump's a racistem No, no, no, no, You're gonna listen,
You're gonna get man explained. Let let me go on
the View and man splain to the ladies of the
View why Trump won. Let me go on the View
and man'splain why Trump's team of all stars in this cabinet,
including the controversial picks of Pete Hegseth and Matt Gates
(11:19):
and Tulci Gabbard. Let me explain why this all makes sense.
You know, it would be great TV. And I think
that their audience needs to see it, needs to hear it,
because they have become so disconnected from the rest of America.
They have no idea how people think. Isn't it interesting
that I can if somebody tells me, if someone listens
to the show, they're let's say they're a Trump supporter.
(11:41):
Not all of your Trump supporters' know, some people are
more independence We do have some Democrats who listen and
we just all are welcome to get this great content
on the clan Buck Show. So that's fantastic. But someone
can call in, you know, I could have a you know,
a brain surgeon from San Francisco call in, or a
truck driver from Omaha call in, or a general contractor
(12:03):
from New Hampshire call in, and we automatically speak the
same language of belief and principle and understanding of this country.
And there's this because of our shared values. There's immediate kinship,
there's immediate familiarity. Right with Democrats, I don't believe that
(12:27):
that really exists. That's why I think they have such
a They have this rigid orthodoxy of got to announce
the pronouns, got to use these bizarre terms like LATINX
that nobody uses like it's more like communism because there's
no underlying principle. It has to be jargon. It has
to be these outer manifestations of a forced belief to
(12:47):
show your compliance to the system. And that's what I
think a lot of the view audience has been subjected to.
People just the same things. Trump is Hitler, Trump is
hilar Trump's do you think they've ever had an honest
conversation the view about the ten million illegals who've filed
into the country in the last few years, or someone's
explained to them that they're coming into the country illegally.
(13:10):
They're lying about how they have some specific credible fear
of violence in their countries. They do not. Okay, if
they do, then everybody does. Then anybody from any crappy
country anywhere in the world can just show up me
like I have a fear of violence. Take me to
the wealthiest, biggest welfare state country on the entire planet
the history of the world. It's not a shock why
people want to come here from poor, crappy countries. I
get it. And yes, there are crappy countries. It's a
(13:32):
real thing. Doesn't mean the people from those countries are crappy.
This is another great truth that Donald Trump was willing
to speak. You know, there are countries that are a
cautionary tale, that are a mess. Governance has failed, the
nation state has failed. Doesn't mean there aren't very good
human beings who come from there, who are you know,
great in their own ways, and we should welcome them.
(13:53):
They come here legally, but they have never had this
kind of a conversation. They've never had some give it
to them in the real way. And I just think
there's an opportunity. You know, it's me. I don't know,
there's some others, some others out there be fun. You know,
maybe Matt Walsh wouldn't scare them so much if he
(14:14):
shaved his beard in one of the View, you know,
the beard. I think it would be too much for them,
but you know, he'd be great. He'd be great over there.
It'd be fun to see. I'm trying to think of
who would be really entertaining to go on the View
as a conservative guy, conservative gals, or a lot of people.
I think it would be fantastic. But this is this
is what the left actually needs. They need the shock
therapy of being exposed to the real arguments from our side,
(14:37):
the real truth from our side. I'm wanna take call
us this hour. Also look some of your v IP emails,
so make sure you stick around with us on that one.
And I'll get back into some of the media freak
out here about they're not legitimate candidates for these roles.
They're legitimate candidates. I think they're probably all going to
get through maybe with one or two exceptions in the Senate,
(14:58):
and then they'll probably just be a reset appointments. So
we shall discuss memories are often the glue that connect
families together over generations, and so often in previous decades
those memories were captured on photo or video and then
you can just enjoy them in those media. But the
problem is, do you have a VHS recorder at home?
(15:20):
I mean, do you actually have a VCR that still works?
What do you do with those VHS tapes you have
that have weddings, that have family gatherings, family reunion, you know,
baseball games that your son played in Little League, whatever
it may be. What do you do with those? This
is where Legacy Box comes in. If you're a family
member who's got those VHS tapes or any old media.
(15:40):
It's amazing, by the way the operation Legacy Box has
in Tennessee. They've got whatever old media you have. You know,
if you've got some some special uh you know, tape
recorder from from Hungary or something that only works with
they've got it. Like they'll be able to do it.
I'm telling you they've got amazing stuff. Box is the
company that does this transfer of old media to new
(16:02):
better than anybody else. So they'll take what's on that
at VHS tape tape, what's on those photos, and then
transfer it over so you'll have it on email, on
your phone, you can share it, you can post it online,
you can keep it for future generations. They'll send you
those brand new digital files with the originals. You get
those back too, And it's so easy. I've done it,
Clay's done it. Great gift for the holidays, Honestly, it's like,
(16:24):
what am I gonna do? You know, don't just get
like another you know, kind of beige sheep's wool sweater
for your family member. If you're gonna get them a
gift ged Legacy Box, they'll get the the box looks
cool to send it to their house. They'll get the instructions.

the Powers Foundation. Now, some principles that I would put
out there, or maybe some guidelines. I don't know. You
could debate how we discuss it, but one of them is,
if the Democrat media is not freaking out, is Trump
really even doing his job with these picks? We think
about that for a second. He went with some establishment
(17:32):
picks in the first term, mad Dog Mattis and you
know General Millie, whom he promoted he didn't like, pick
him for the military, but a whole bunch of others too.
And were any of the establishment picks that he went
with great successes that showed tremendous ability. I'd have to
think through it, but I think the media being upset
(17:54):
about it is a really good sign. Look, you know
what I'm doing this weekend? Oh that's right, go into shooting.
And I don't wanna look like it's my first time
out there, you know what I mean? So I can't
get out the range this week. I got too much
going on this show, other things happening. How can I
train at home? Well, right here in my studio, I
got a mantis X system. Mantis X is incredible. You
(18:15):
attach it to your firearm, either your long gun or
your pistol, just like a weapon light, and then it
lets you do dry fire practice in the comfort of
your own home, or you can do it the range wherever.
You just find a safe place, make sure your weapon
is cleared and safe. You attach your fire I attach
the mantis X system like a weapon light, and you
just get better at shooting. I mean, the ninety four
percent of mantis x users see improvement when the first
(18:38):
twenty or thirty minutes. Get yourself a mantis X. It's
kind of addictive because you keep getting better and better.
And when you see how much tighter those patterns will
be at the range and how much more on target
you'll be, you're gonna love your mantis X. Go to
mantisx dot com. That's MA and tisx dot com.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Not only does the deserve a chance to be heard,
every president deserves a chance to pick their cabinet.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Elections do matter.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
When I say elections have consequences, and I vote for
Democratic nominees that I would not have chosen.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I am some kind of great statesman.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
When I apply that same standard to a Republican president.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I'm somehow a lackey. Matt Gates is very bright. I
think he's qualified.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
He'll have a hearing, and he'll have some.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Tough questions to answer.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
But to every Republican, please follow a process to give
President Trump the ability to pick the people he thinks
can do the job and give Matt a chance.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
There's Lindsey Graham, and I don't always agree with cinder Graham,
but I do think he's got this one right, which is,
let Matt Gates have his day before the Senate. People,
I'm sure will ask him some tough questions. Some Democrats,
I would wager, we'll ask some unfair questions, even meaning
that it's really just an allegation dressed up as a question.
But come to this for a reason. I've seen the
(20:02):
assessments out there from people, just to be clear that
maybe this is some Trump play where he realizes it'd
be easier to get through other nominees because Matt Gates
is if you were asked, you said, Buck, I need
you to. We need to have a special team of
conservatives who just go into the bunker and go into
(20:25):
the conference room in the bunker and figure out what
appointment would make them absolutely lose their minds the most
I mean, short of like making Alex Jones White House
Press secretary or something. Matt Gates is attorney general, and
I usually Matt Gate's attorney general because attorney general has
real power. Some roles I mean the Secretary of Commerce
(20:50):
or the Bureau of Indian Affairs or whatever. You've got
bureaucratic power within that bureaucracy. But the attorney general has
power period in America, and against institutions and individuals. And
a attorney general who has decided that there needs to
(21:13):
be examples made of people who have used that prosecutorial power,
make examples of them so they know never to do
this again. That is a very important thing for the
country because the power to prosecute is the power to destroy,
and really the truth is in America today, the power
to investigate, especially depending on what the investigation is for,
(21:35):
is also the power to destroy. This has to be
used in the strictest good faith, on the most constitutionally
sound principles and even go back to English common law principles.
This needs to be the area of government that is
the most nonpartisan, the most ethical, and it has been
(21:59):
anything but that. Look at what they've brought charges against
the presidential candidate on garbage, on just the one of
the cases already thrown out. Oh that's a Trump judge. Okay, Well,
which is it? Are the judges in the system good
or bad? The judges are good when they do something
that hurts Trump, but they're bad when they do something
that helps Trump. It's all so obvious. The Democrat view
(22:21):
of the legal system and everything that's being done against
Trump is like the view of a child who wants
a toy? Is it their toy? Have they had it
too long? Should they share that? Nothing matters? They want
the toy, right, I mean, I've observed this. I don't
have kids yet, but maybe soon. Uh So, Yeah, this
is what we see playing out. And and like I said,
(22:45):
I know, I know where Pete Hexsay's heart is on
this stuff, and so I can say that he'll approach
it all with the best of intentions, and he's a
very smart guy. I know where Tulci Gabard's heart is
on this stuff. And I look at a big, unwieldy
bureaucracy and a lot of people get rolled by these
places who are good people. So I'm not saying it's
(23:08):
gonna be easy. I'm not saying I guarantee success for
either of them. But they're absolutely qualified. I mean, what
is what is James Clapper? Who's who is d and
I during the you know, the Trump administration, Trump like
inherited that guy, right or no? Did he quit after
the Obama Yeah? He quit after the Obama administration. I
forget when he stopped being then I who cares? Point
is guy's a clown? Okay, not very smart, terrible judgment, partisan,
(23:33):
did enormous damage. Same thing with that guy Brennan, who's alone,
by the way, the CIA director. And then even my
Michael Hayden, who is the CIA director or a CI
director that I technically worked for, I mean way down
the chain of command. He wouldn't know who I was.
He was kind of the nerdy looking bald guy walking
around the building sometimes. And uh, these people have destroyed
(23:54):
the reputation of the intelligence agencies. So what really is
the objection? Then? Right? This is when he's start to
look at this. So they can have a dementia pation
as the president. They can put Pete Butter Judge, who's
done nothing other than identity politics and a resume that
we're all supposed to be impressed. And you know a
lot of people go to I have these schools. Who
cares it's really important for Pete Butter Judge is not
(24:16):
really important. It comes to Pete Hegseth. Isn't that interesting,
you know? And so they can have completely unqualified. They
can put Kamala Harris Ford as a presidential candidate. Honestly,
I don't Thinkamala Harris can run a PTA meeting, but
you're gonna tell me she should have been president the
United States. I don't care what they have to say
about any of these candidates, is my point. It does
it fundamentally does not matter. Their opinions on this do
(24:37):
not matter to me, except in so far as the
angrier they are and the more scared they are, the
better I think it probably is for the country. It's
kind of a reverse It's like a reverse system. Right.
If they like the candidate, I'd be very worried if
they hate the candidate. I'm like, that sounds good to me.
And this is just what the Democrats. This is the
country that they have created by the way that they
(24:58):
have acted. So see, I see this very clearly, and
I think that the view here is gonna have to
be we see how this, how this plays out results.
I expect results. We can demand the team should be
(25:19):
the team that Trump wants. Oh that brings me to
Nicki Haley. Nikki Haley who Trump? You remember he tweeted
out that she wasn't gonna be in this administration, and
now she's saying, well, I didn't want to be in
your administration anyway. There's nothing I want turns down the
(25:39):
truce from Trump. It's on the front page of the
New York Post or on the website New York Post website.
I don't read any hard copies anymore, but Nicki Haley
and Mike Pompey, I'm not gonna be the administration. I
think it's fair to say that Donald Trumps has just
decided there's there's no need to bring back act a
(26:02):
neo con or establishment Republican philosophy into any of the
important areas but important agencies of his government. He really
is bringing people in here to smash the system. So
of course the system is going to bristle at this.
I mean, wouldn't it be wouldn't it be bizarre given
the stated mission. I mean, you've got Elon and Vivaq,
(26:22):
who we are told are going to go in. They're
going to walk into this like this antique store that
is the bureaucracy. Oh it's also precious and this is
our little antique store. And Vivac and Elon are walking
around with sledgehammers, like do they need this? No, let's
get rid of it and just smash, smash. They're not
(26:43):
gonna like it. The system is not going to like
what is coming its way with all of this, and
that there's nothing surprising about that, right, There's nothing about
that that we should take as a shock. So just
view the view the disdain of the Democrats for a
lot of these picks as a badge of honor. And
(27:04):
also the very very dumb people out there like Jimmy Kimmel,
who is really a lucky person, not a very talented person,
but a lucky person who played the game right place,
right time, just sort of did what he needed to
do to get where he had to get and you
know his contribution. You know, I'll say this, I'm not
a big late night show guy, but I think I
(27:25):
never liked Letterman. I know Clay and I disagree on
this with Clay. Like Letterman, I never liked Letterman. I
just didn't think it was funny. But I mean, to
me like Jay Leno. Jay Leno is somebody who can
go out and you know, when his in his final days,
he can think to himself, you know, I really did
just trying to make people laugh and give them some
joy and relaxation, you know at night before they went
to bed, and even bring people together with that laughter.
(27:46):
And he really I used to watch that show a
little bit when I was younger, and I feel like
his first his first mission was comedian Kimmel and Colbert
and all these they've turned into dumb pundits that have
some jokes. They're really pundits first. Now it's all about
(28:07):
the political messaging wrapped in some kind of a joke.
And John Stewart really started this. Uh, he was better
at it than they are. It was very dishonest what
he was doing and he was always, oh, I'm above
the political fray, Well you're actually a propagandist, So it
was you know, it was uh, that was always something
that bothered me. But here's Jimmy Kimmel saying that Trump
(28:29):
is putting together a legion of dumb play seventeen. You know,
in a lot of jobs, being investigator for sex trafficking
under age girls would hurt your chance for advancement. But
in the Trump administration, you can listen on your resume
under special skills. Wow, the Pizzagate gang is going to
be furious about this. I'm sure, aren't they What a
team be putting together? It's the legion of dumb, the
(28:53):
legion of dumb. All right, let's just have a moment here.
Who's smarter? Pete Hexethter, Jimmy Kimmel, Who's smarter Telsey Gabbard
or Jimmy Kimmel, Matt gets Or Kimmel, Michael Waltz or Kimmel,
the Veiker, Kimmel, Elon or Kimmel. I mean, really go
through this. You know, he's picking this fight. He's saying
(29:14):
that they're dumb. Really, they are all smarter than Jimmy Kimmel.
It's not even close. They are all smarter than he is.
Every single one of them and really a lot smarter. Right,
It's not like a close call legion of dumb think
about that he's trying to That's that's how sad they
are about all this is that they're they're relegated to
You're a bunch of dumb doms. You know. Sad, isn't it.
(29:41):
But they deserve it. I mean that's the other part.
I have no sympathy for the Democrats who are all
freaked out now, crying and everything else. Uh, they absolutely
deserve this. I tried to tell him, We tried to
tell him here on the show they sit to come
and listen to us. This is what's coming. I knew
this was going to happen. You know the fact that
they tried to rally behind Aamala Harris. Rallying behind Kamala
(30:02):
Harris is a credibility destroying action that alone, not just
for any individual, for the entire Democrat Party. While they
sit there and try to say that who's qualified and
not qualified? Editor under Trump, Biden had dementia and Kamala
was deeply and clearly unqualified, not just to be president,
(30:23):
to be vice president, to be a senator, to be
an attorney general. They just kept pushing her along. This
is the Dei system. Dei. You must do it, but
you must not talk about it. That's the way the
Dei system works. Elevate but don't say why you're elevating,
but be proud that you're elevating for those reasons, but
don't talk about those reasons. Yeah, I think people got
(30:44):
tired of that, among a lot of other things as well.
I'll close this out here with some calls, some vip
emails and more coming back in just a second. Thanks
for rolling with me today. All right, wait, Prize picks, Okay,
here we are. I'm glad I'm taking a moment here
this one because Clay's out today. So you're like, oh, no,
who's gonna get me ry prize picks? No, no, no,

Yay prize picks. Download the app, use code buck, use

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Turkey Talk on November seventeen in the Klein Buck podcast
feed on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Holding up Chop today on Clay and Buck. I'll be
with you again solo tomorrow. Our friend David Harsanyi, who
is one of the guys, another person who I've known
in this business since the very beginning. I think he
actually edited a couple of my first editorials at the
Blaze dot com. A really great guys sharp mind, good
book that just came out, the Rise of Blue and nine,
(33:43):
just about the embrace of conspiracy theories like Russia collusion,
all this craziness by the left, by the Democrats. So
we'll talk to him about that in the show tomorrow,
obviously following up more on the Trump cabinet picks and
good stuff like that. And look, as you know, I
subscribe to a philosoph fee of no enemies to the right,
(34:03):
and I like to praise the work of good conservatives
out there, and people who are also doing radio shows,
podcast TV shows, if they're doing good work, I'm glad
they're on our team. And so I'm not like a
radio feud guy, right, that was an old thing that
used to happen, people with radio feud. But you know,
I have my limits. And someone who Clay I think
(34:27):
of as a good friend, seems to have, you know,
maybe thrown a little bit of a brushback pitch in
my direction here. All right, our good friend mister Jesse Kelly,
also a preier Network syndicated show is out there on
his show saying that it is un American to celebrate
the election with some delicious homemade pistachio crembrulet. I don't
(34:51):
even know what to say about this. I want you
to hear this utter blasphemy about what is a delicious
confection for all occasions like twenty six.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Setting aside the pinky out weirdness of eating pistachio cremberley
and then admitting it. Everybody knows rule number one of
dessert is, you don't nut the dessert. You never nut
the dessert. Keep your nuts out of the dessert. Nuts
do not belong a dessert. They're finding candy bars occasionally.
(35:24):
Maybe maybe I'll give you a nut rageous. You know
what I will. I'll give you a nut rageous. You
put your nuts in that. You don't put your nuts
in pudding. You don't put your nuts in brownies, you
don't put your nuts in in cremberlay. Keep your nuts
out of the dessert.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Okay, let me just say, I only have to use
one word here for my comeback, which is Snickers boom.
No nuts in the dessert. Okay, he said, maybe the
candy bars, but beyond that on brownies. I agree, walnuts
and brownies pure savagery, terrible idea. But mister Jesse Kelly,
(36:04):
let me tell you this right now. The kind of
man who orders seventy five dollars a shot tequila shots
on my co host Clay's tab is also the kind
of man who, in a sprawling estate would have the
gardeners running around so he could shoot at them with
paintball guns because he likes to mock the pores. I'm
just saying, okay, like you know what I mean, throwing
(36:27):
living in a glasshouse with your stones, big throne at
Pistachio crem Broulet. So we'll see what he has to
say about that. We love Jesse Kelly. He does a
great show. I'll be back with you guys tomorrow. We'll
have some fun here, We'll get in some serious stuff.
I'm looking forward to it, and yeah, good things are coming.
So me so lit tomorrow and then plays back Monday,
(36:49):
and until then, make sure you check out the podcast
clan Buck Network
Third hour Clay and Buck jumps off, kicks off, jumps
in any of the above right now, it's going right now,
there we go, there we are. Let's dive into Clay
on vacation today. Buck here solo, coming to you from
South Florida. Trump Country down here in South Florida. That's right.
(00:20):
Trump won Miami Dade. I'm just saying, I moved to
Miami Dade, Miami Dade becomes red. Is it a coincidence?
I think not. We have a lot of reaction to
the Trump appointments. The three that are getting all the
attention from the media right now are Tulsi Tulci has
(00:41):
d and I Pete Hegseth as a Secretary of Defense.
And the one that has completely freaked out the Democrats,
Matt Gets for possible Attorney General. I'll be honest with you,
Da is the only one that I didn't see coming
at all. So that's not passing Jude been one or
the other. I'm just I didn't know that was in
the mix. So there we go. He's resigned his seat
(01:04):
in Congress already, and the Democrats seem very both upset
and somewhat terrified of this. So to me, that must
be a good thing because we need there to be
a reckoning, We need there to be justice done and
a cleaning out of the DJ. I also wanted to
take a moment to focus here on the reckoning that
(01:27):
the Democrat media is having. Let's not forget for a
second that whether it was the Sunday shows you know,
like Washington this week or this week in Washington, or
it's Washington and this is a week, I mean, all
those shows are the same to me. I don't watch them.
I don't. I've seen them, but they're not good, so
I don't spend any time with them. The different network
(01:50):
political shows. I mean, think about this. You're gonna wait
until Sunday to get your news and your political analysis.
You can get better political analysis on this show five
days a week, so it's not like you have to
wait till Sunday. That's an old model. It makes no sense.
They've got viewers who are I think, just in in
habit of watching that, and they continue to and a
Democrat propaganda so they have the people that they like
(02:13):
tell them what they want to hear. But the Democrat
aligned media has had a massive flop in this election
because they didn't just endorse Donald Trump's opponent. They said
that Donald Trump was hitler. They didn't just say that
they were upset at the prospect of a Trump victory.
(02:37):
They said that they would leave. I have seen one apparently,
check me on this one. Team. Eva Longoria, formerly an actress,
now an annoying political activist, says that she and her
family are actually leaving the country because Trump won. I
think this may be the first time that I can
(02:57):
think of, we're an actress would have left actually followed
through on the you know, they all do that, like
if Trump wins, I'm leaving the country, and it never happens, right,
it never happens. But I think that she maybe the
first one that I've seen that is is planning to
go through with this and and is actually going to Yeah,
(03:19):
says they're going to live between Spain and Mexico. Okay, yeah,
really Uh no, no corruption in Mexico. By the way,
if you if you're looking for sound government, governance, if
you're looking for rule of law and elections that are
only on the up and up and no corruption, Mexico
is really the that's the jam, that's where you want
(03:40):
to go. Uh, never mind, what's going on in Spain.
So anyway, the media is realizing they they no longer
have the power. Even if they go to their absolute max.
They can at ABC, NBC, CBS, The New York Times,
they can take the volume spinal tap style to eleven.
(04:03):
Remember that volume is going to be eleven, No ten eleven.
They can take it up to eleven and it doesn't
change anything. Their candidate can lose in a big election,
the biggest loss we've seen in decades. And so now
what happens, Well, you see that there's talk that MSNBC
could be purchased by conservatives, and because MSNBC is a
(04:27):
unit of a publicly traded company, there is the argument
that could be made, just like there was with Twitter
when Twitter was public, that if a good enough bid
comes along, there is a fiduciary responsibility of Comcast to
take that bid for the shareholders. So it's not just
about whether or not they want to sell to a conservative,
(04:50):
let's say, or a conservative consortium if they were to
put it on the market, on the shopping block, so
to speak, and a conservative, I don't know, maybe a
conservative who sends a lot of rockets into space and
already bought a massive social media platform and spends a
lot of time with Trump or maybe another conservative. I mean,
there's a bunch of different possibilities here, but buying MSNBC
(05:13):
and flipping it into a I don't think you have
to be conservative conservative. If you made MSNBC either a
true free speech news platform, conservative voices would win, but
you'd have some interesting discussions I think on there. The
old legacy media, the old guard is scrambling right now
(05:35):
because they do not have the power they used to
have is gone. You know, you've been seeing this build
for a while. I'll never forget. I can't remember what
year it was, but it was just a few years back,
and the New York Times when Tucker still had his
show on Fox News. The New York Times did I
think it was a front page Sunday story and it
(05:57):
was something like Tucker Carlson White National, Like that wasn't
the title, but that was what this story was about.
And I remember I grew up in New York City,
and I grew up in a household we actually subscribed
to The New York Times. We switched over to Washington
Wall Street Journal. But you know, when I was in
high school, We had the hard copy of The Times
being dropped off every day. That's the newspaper that I
would read sometimes, and the New York Times if they
(06:21):
had put a front page story out in the year
two thousand, let's say of this Republican as an actual
white nationalist or not. You know, not that Tucker is
a politician, but you know, just the reputational assault that
they would have been able to do, and damage they
would have been able to do, it would have been
really serious. You know. You you would have had jobs
(06:41):
that you would have lost. You would have been pushed
out of polite society. We all laughed at it. Tucker
and Know laughed at it. Everyone laughed at it. We'll like, yeah, please,
New York Times, give me a break to cross the
white national It was so absurd, but it was you
were starting to see the last gasps of a dying
meteor regime. And that's where they are now. It's gonna
(07:03):
take a while. It's not like they're just gonna disappear tomorrow.
But the whole facade, that whole storyline of oh, we're
not partisan. Who was that? Was it? The Washington Post
had that woman. We played her SoundBite a few days
ago where she was like, excuse me, I am not
a democrat, I'm a journalist. Yeah. That might have worked
(07:26):
two decades ago, maybe even a decade ago, but now
that's just adorable. I'm not a democrat. I'm a journalist.
Sure you are. And it's true over at CNA's true
over at MSNBC. Now here's what's fun. ABC is scrambling,
according to The New York Post, to bring in a
pro Trump voice to the View as well as other shows.
(07:49):
I mean, the buckster is available. I'm just throwing that
out there, not for radio, but little TV, a little
TV over there at the View. I'm telling you, I
would have so much much fun talking to those ladies.
But they wouldn't have fun talking to me. I don't think.
I mean they would if they kept it up in mind.
I have a rule about TV stuff, and it's really
(08:10):
a rule in life. Respect is always met with respect.
Kindness has always met with kindness. But the second you
want to poke the bear, things have to get a
little rough. The grizzlies got to pull out the claus,
you know what I mean, And they would have a
really tough time. I look at their cast. I don't
even know the name of this. So there's Whoopee. The
woman next to Whoopee, I don't know her name? Do
(08:31):
you any of you guys know her name? Team? What's her?
Sarah Haynes? Where's she from?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
How did that happen? NBC New? Yeah? ABC? Yeah, she's
totally replaceable with like fifteen other people that kind of
look like her from the news world that also have
no interesting opinions. And then what do you have? You
got Joy behar Clay and I have talked about this.
We think Joy would probably be pretty fun to hang
out with. Not very bright on Paula Tics, but you know,
(09:01):
I think I think Joey Bayhart, we'd have a fun chat.
Alyssa Farah, she's you know, used to work for Trump.
Turned on Trump felt like a good move. Then I
don't know if it feels like such a good move anymore.
I met her once or twice. I don't really know her,
so I can't I think that the sitting in the
seat of my job is to attack Trump as a
(09:24):
former Trump person. I just I couldn't do that. I
just couldn't do it. That's not that would be such
a in such friction with how I view myself and
how I view character like I'm not going to turn
on somebody who changed my life and gave me a
great opportunity, you know, and in fact, I always try
(09:47):
to go out of my way. I mean, like, I
am forever grateful to Glenn Beck for starting my career
in media, and I'm forever grateful to Rush Limbaugh by
letting me guess hos from many years, for dramatically elevating
and you know, sort of having a breakthrough in my
career in media. You know, those two were the first
men had come to mind. Megan Kelly in the in
the early days of Fox News was great to me
(10:07):
at Fox News. And at a time when you know,
again it's kind of funny people ask me why you
know what about Fox for you? I don't know, asked.
Fox never paid me a dollar. They had better things
to do. Fine, but uh, ABC brass scrambling to get
a pro Trump view on the view. This could be amazing.
(10:30):
I mean, this could be Think about this for a second,
you know, I I look, I think I'd be pretty good.
I've just said not not even like for a long
term thing, even just to do it a few times.
I could do what I did on Bill Maher, go
and explain to them ladies. Ladies, this is why the
Democrats got smoked. Okay, this is why you got this.
Why you guys lost. Let me tell you why. So
you really understand. You're not gonna browbeat me with you know,
(10:53):
Oh but Trump's a racistem No, no, no, no, You're gonna listen,
You're gonna get man explained. Let let me go on
the View and man splain to the ladies of the
View why Trump won. Let me go on the View
and man'splain why Trump's team of all stars in this cabinet,
including the controversial picks of Pete Hegseth and Matt Gates
(11:19):
and Tulci Gabbard. Let me explain why this all makes sense.
You know, it would be great TV. And I think
that their audience needs to see it, needs to hear it,
because they have become so disconnected from the rest of America.
They have no idea how people think. Isn't it interesting
that I can if somebody tells me, if someone listens
to the show, they're let's say they're a Trump supporter.
(11:41):
Not all of your Trump supporters' know, some people are
more independence We do have some Democrats who listen and
we just all are welcome to get this great content
on the clan Buck Show. So that's fantastic. But someone
can call in, you know, I could have a you know,
a brain surgeon from San Francisco call in, or a
truck driver from Omaha call in, or a general contractor
(12:03):
from New Hampshire call in, and we automatically speak the
same language of belief and principle and understanding of this country.
And there's this because of our shared values. There's immediate kinship,
there's immediate familiarity. Right with Democrats, I don't believe that
(12:27):
that really exists. That's why I think they have such
a They have this rigid orthodoxy of got to announce
the pronouns, got to use these bizarre terms like LATINX
that nobody uses like it's more like communism because there's
no underlying principle. It has to be jargon. It has
to be these outer manifestations of a forced belief to
(12:47):
show your compliance to the system. And that's what I
think a lot of the view audience has been subjected to.
People just the same things. Trump is Hitler, Trump is
hilar Trump's do you think they've ever had an honest
conversation the view about the ten million illegals who've filed
into the country in the last few years, or someone's
explained to them that they're coming into the country illegally.
(13:10):
They're lying about how they have some specific credible fear
of violence in their countries. They do not. Okay, if
they do, then everybody does. Then anybody from any crappy
country anywhere in the world can just show up me
like I have a fear of violence. Take me to
the wealthiest, biggest welfare state country on the entire planet
the history of the world. It's not a shock why
people want to come here from poor, crappy countries. I
get it. And yes, there are crappy countries. It's a
(13:32):
real thing. Doesn't mean the people from those countries are crappy.
This is another great truth that Donald Trump was willing
to speak. You know, there are countries that are a
cautionary tale, that are a mess. Governance has failed, the
nation state has failed. Doesn't mean there aren't very good
human beings who come from there, who are you know,
great in their own ways, and we should welcome them.
(13:53):
They come here legally, but they have never had this
kind of a conversation. They've never had some give it
to them in the real way. And I just think
there's an opportunity. You know, it's me. I don't know,
there's some others, some others out there be fun. You know,
maybe Matt Walsh wouldn't scare them so much if he
(14:14):
shaved his beard in one of the View, you know,
the beard. I think it would be too much for them,
but you know, he'd be great. He'd be great over there.
It'd be fun to see. I'm trying to think of
who would be really entertaining to go on the View
as a conservative guy, conservative gals, or a lot of people.
I think it would be fantastic. But this is this
is what the left actually needs. They need the shock
therapy of being exposed to the real arguments from our side,
(14:37):
the real truth from our side. I'm wanna take call
us this hour. Also look some of your v IP emails,
so make sure you stick around with us on that one.
And I'll get back into some of the media freak
out here about they're not legitimate candidates for these roles.
They're legitimate candidates. I think they're probably all going to
get through maybe with one or two exceptions in the Senate,
(14:58):
and then they'll probably just be a reset appointments. So
we shall discuss memories are often the glue that connect
families together over generations, and so often in previous decades
those memories were captured on photo or video and then
you can just enjoy them in those media. But the
problem is, do you have a VHS recorder at home?
(15:20):
I mean, do you actually have a VCR that still works?
What do you do with those VHS tapes you have
that have weddings, that have family gatherings, family reunion, you know,
baseball games that your son played in Little League, whatever
it may be. What do you do with those? This
is where Legacy Box comes in. If you're a family
member who's got those VHS tapes or any old media.
(15:40):
It's amazing, by the way the operation Legacy Box has
in Tennessee. They've got whatever old media you have. You know,
if you've got some some special uh you know, tape
recorder from from Hungary or something that only works with
they've got it. Like they'll be able to do it.
I'm telling you they've got amazing stuff. Box is the
company that does this transfer of old media to new
(16:02):
better than anybody else. So they'll take what's on that
at VHS tape tape, what's on those photos, and then
transfer it over so you'll have it on email, on
your phone, you can share it, you can post it online,
you can keep it for future generations. They'll send you
those brand new digital files with the originals. You get
those back too, And it's so easy. I've done it,
Clay's done it. Great gift for the holidays, Honestly, it's like,
(16:24):
what am I gonna do? You know, don't just get
like another you know, kind of beige sheep's wool sweater
for your family member. If you're gonna get them a
gift ged Legacy Box, they'll get the the box looks
cool to send it to their house. They'll get the instructions.

out there, or maybe some guidelines. I don't know. You
could debate how we discuss it, but one of them is,
if the Democrat media is not freaking out, is Trump
really even doing his job with these picks? We think
about that for a second. He went with some establishment
(17:32):
picks in the first term, mad Dog Mattis and you
know General Millie, whom he promoted he didn't like, pick
him for the military, but a whole bunch of others too.
And were any of the establishment picks that he went
with great successes that showed tremendous ability. I'd have to
think through it, but I think the media being upset
(17:54):
about it is a really good sign. Look, you know
what I'm doing this weekend? Oh that's right, go into shooting.
And I don't wanna look like it's my first time
out there, you know what I mean? So I can't
get out the range this week. I got too much
going on this show, other things happening. How can I
train at home? Well, right here in my studio, I
got a mantis X system. Mantis X is incredible. You
(18:15):
attach it to your firearm, either your long gun or
your pistol, just like a weapon light, and then it
lets you do dry fire practice in the comfort of
your own home, or you can do it the range wherever.
You just find a safe place, make sure your weapon
is cleared and safe. You attach your fire I attach
the mantis X system like a weapon light, and you
just get better at shooting. I mean, the ninety four
percent of mantis x users see improvement when the first
(18:38):
twenty or thirty minutes. Get yourself a mantis X. It's
kind of addictive because you keep getting better and better.
And when you see how much tighter those patterns will
be at the range and how much more on target
you'll be, you're gonna love your mantis X. Go to

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Not only does the deserve a chance to be heard,
every president deserves a chance to pick their cabinet.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Elections do matter.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
When I say elections have consequences, and I vote for
Democratic nominees that I would not have chosen.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I am some kind of great statesman.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
When I apply that same standard to a Republican president.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I'm somehow a lackey. Matt Gates is very bright. I
think he's qualified.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
He'll have a hearing, and he'll have some.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Tough questions to answer.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
But to every Republican, please follow a process to give
President Trump the ability to pick the people he thinks
can do the job and give Matt a chance.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
There's Lindsey Graham, and I don't always agree with cinder Graham,
but I do think he's got this one right, which is,
let Matt Gates have his day before the Senate. People,
I'm sure will ask him some tough questions. Some Democrats,
I would wager, we'll ask some unfair questions, even meaning
that it's really just an allegation dressed up as a question.
But come to this for a reason. I've seen the
(20:02):
assessments out there from people, just to be clear that
maybe this is some Trump play where he realizes it'd
be easier to get through other nominees because Matt Gates
is if you were asked, you said, Buck, I need
you to. We need to have a special team of
conservatives who just go into the bunker and go into
(20:25):
the conference room in the bunker and figure out what
appointment would make them absolutely lose their minds the most
I mean, short of like making Alex Jones White House
Press secretary or something. Matt Gates is attorney general, and
I usually Matt Gate's attorney general because attorney general has
real power. Some roles I mean the Secretary of Commerce
(20:50):
or the Bureau of Indian Affairs or whatever. You've got
bureaucratic power within that bureaucracy. But the attorney general has
power period in America, and against institutions and individuals. And
a attorney general who has decided that there needs to
(21:13):
be examples made of people who have used that prosecutorial power,
make examples of them so they know never to do
this again. That is a very important thing for the
country because the power to prosecute is the power to destroy,
and really the truth is in America today, the power
to investigate, especially depending on what the investigation is for,
(21:35):
is also the power to destroy. This has to be
used in the strictest good faith, on the most constitutionally
sound principles and even go back to English common law principles.
This needs to be the area of government that is
the most nonpartisan, the most ethical, and it has been
(21:59):
anything but that. Look at what they've brought charges against
the presidential candidate on garbage, on just the one of
the cases already thrown out. Oh that's a Trump judge. Okay, Well,
which is it? Are the judges in the system good
or bad? The judges are good when they do something
that hurts Trump, but they're bad when they do something
that helps Trump. It's all so obvious. The Democrat view
(22:21):
of the legal system and everything that's being done against
Trump is like the view of a child who wants
a toy? Is it their toy? Have they had it
too long? Should they share that? Nothing matters? They want
the toy, right, I mean, I've observed this. I don't
have kids yet, but maybe soon. Uh So, Yeah, this
is what we see playing out. And and like I said,
(22:45):
I know, I know where Pete Hexsay's heart is on
this stuff, and so I can say that he'll approach
it all with the best of intentions, and he's a
very smart guy. I know where Tulci Gabard's heart is
on this stuff. And I look at a big, unwieldy
bureaucracy and a lot of people get rolled by these
places who are good people. So I'm not saying it's
(23:08):
gonna be easy. I'm not saying I guarantee success for
either of them. But they're absolutely qualified. I mean, what
is what is James Clapper? Who's who is d and
I during the you know, the Trump administration, Trump like
inherited that guy, right or no? Did he quit after
the Obama Yeah? He quit after the Obama administration. I
forget when he stopped being then I who cares? Point
is guy's a clown? Okay, not very smart, terrible judgment, partisan,
(23:33):
did enormous damage. Same thing with that guy Brennan, who's alone,
by the way, the CIA director. And then even my
Michael Hayden, who is the CIA director or a CI
director that I technically worked for, I mean way down
the chain of command. He wouldn't know who I was.
He was kind of the nerdy looking bald guy walking
around the building sometimes. And uh, these people have destroyed
(23:54):
the reputation of the intelligence agencies. So what really is
the objection? Then? Right? This is when he's start to
look at this. So they can have a dementia pation
as the president. They can put Pete Butter Judge, who's
done nothing other than identity politics and a resume that
we're all supposed to be impressed. And you know a
lot of people go to I have these schools. Who
cares it's really important for Pete Butter Judge is not
(24:16):
really important. It comes to Pete Hegseth. Isn't that interesting,
you know? And so they can have completely unqualified. They
can put Kamala Harris Ford as a presidential candidate. Honestly,
I don't Thinkamala Harris can run a PTA meeting, but
you're gonna tell me she should have been president the
United States. I don't care what they have to say
about any of these candidates, is my point. It does
it fundamentally does not matter. Their opinions on this do
(24:37):
not matter to me, except in so far as the
angrier they are and the more scared they are, the
better I think it probably is for the country. It's
kind of a reverse It's like a reverse system. Right.
If they like the candidate, I'd be very worried if
they hate the candidate. I'm like, that sounds good to me.
And this is just what the Democrats. This is the
country that they have created by the way that they
(24:58):
have acted. So see, I see this very clearly, and
I think that the view here is gonna have to
be we see how this, how this plays out results.
I expect results. We can demand the team should be
(25:19):
the team that Trump wants. Oh that brings me to
Nicki Haley. Nikki Haley who Trump? You remember he tweeted
out that she wasn't gonna be in this administration, and
now she's saying, well, I didn't want to be in
your administration anyway. There's nothing I want turns down the
(25:39):
truce from Trump. It's on the front page of the
New York Post or on the website New York Post website.
I don't read any hard copies anymore, but Nicki Haley
and Mike Pompey, I'm not gonna be the administration. I
think it's fair to say that Donald Trumps has just
decided there's there's no need to bring back act a
(26:02):
neo con or establishment Republican philosophy into any of the
important areas but important agencies of his government. He really
is bringing people in here to smash the system. So
of course the system is going to bristle at this.
I mean, wouldn't it be wouldn't it be bizarre given
the stated mission. I mean, you've got Elon and Vivaq,
(26:22):
who we are told are going to go in. They're
going to walk into this like this antique store that
is the bureaucracy. Oh it's also precious and this is
our little antique store. And Vivac and Elon are walking
around with sledgehammers, like do they need this? No, let's
get rid of it and just smash, smash. They're not
(26:43):
gonna like it. The system is not going to like
what is coming its way with all of this, and
that there's nothing surprising about that, right, There's nothing about
that that we should take as a shock. So just
view the view the disdain of the Democrats for a
lot of these picks as a badge of honor. And
(27:04):
also the very very dumb people out there like Jimmy Kimmel,
who is really a lucky person, not a very talented person,
but a lucky person who played the game right place,
right time, just sort of did what he needed to
do to get where he had to get and you
know his contribution. You know, I'll say this, I'm not
a big late night show guy, but I think I
(27:25):
never liked Letterman. I know Clay and I disagree on
this with Clay. Like Letterman, I never liked Letterman. I
just didn't think it was funny. But I mean, to
me like Jay Leno. Jay Leno is somebody who can
go out and you know, when his in his final days,
he can think to himself, you know, I really did
just trying to make people laugh and give them some
joy and relaxation, you know at night before they went
to bed, and even bring people together with that laughter.
(27:46):
And he really I used to watch that show a
little bit when I was younger, and I feel like
his first his first mission was comedian Kimmel and Colbert
and all these they've turned into dumb pundits that have
some jokes. They're really pundits first. Now it's all about
(28:07):
the political messaging wrapped in some kind of a joke.
And John Stewart really started this. Uh, he was better
at it than they are. It was very dishonest what
he was doing and he was always, oh, I'm above
the political fray, Well you're actually a propagandist, So it
was you know, it was uh, that was always something
that bothered me. But here's Jimmy Kimmel saying that Trump
(28:29):
is putting together a legion of dumb play seventeen. You know,
in a lot of jobs, being investigator for sex trafficking
under age girls would hurt your chance for advancement. But
in the Trump administration, you can listen on your resume
under special skills. Wow, the Pizzagate gang is going to
be furious about this. I'm sure, aren't they What a
team be putting together? It's the legion of dumb, the
(28:53):
legion of dumb. All right, let's just have a moment here.
Who's smarter? Pete Hexethter, Jimmy Kimmel, Who's smarter Telsey Gabbard
or Jimmy Kimmel, Matt gets Or Kimmel, Michael Waltz or Kimmel,
the Veiker, Kimmel, Elon or Kimmel. I mean, really go
through this. You know, he's picking this fight. He's saying
(29:14):
that they're dumb. Really, they are all smarter than Jimmy Kimmel.
It's not even close. They are all smarter than he is.
Every single one of them and really a lot smarter. Right,
It's not like a close call legion of dumb think
about that he's trying to That's that's how sad they
are about all this is that they're they're relegated to
You're a bunch of dumb doms. You know. Sad, isn't it.
(29:41):
But they deserve it. I mean that's the other part.
I have no sympathy for the Democrats who are all
freaked out now, crying and everything else. Uh, they absolutely
deserve this. I tried to tell him, We tried to
tell him here on the show they sit to come
and listen to us. This is what's coming. I knew
this was going to happen. You know the fact that
they tried to rally behind Aamala Harris. Rallying behind Kamala
(30:02):
Harris is a credibility destroying action that alone, not just
for any individual, for the entire Democrat Party. While they
sit there and try to say that who's qualified and
not qualified? Editor under Trump, Biden had dementia and Kamala
was deeply and clearly unqualified, not just to be president,
(30:23):
to be vice president, to be a senator, to be
an attorney general. They just kept pushing her along. This
is the Dei system. Dei. You must do it, but
you must not talk about it. That's the way the
Dei system works. Elevate but don't say why you're elevating,
but be proud that you're elevating for those reasons, but
don't talk about those reasons. Yeah, I think people got
(30:44):
tired of that, among a lot of other things as well.
I'll close this out here with some calls, some vip
emails and more coming back in just a second. Thanks
for rolling with me today. All right, wait, Prize picks, Okay,
here we are. I'm glad I'm taking a moment here
this one because Clay's out today. So you're like, oh, no,
who's gonna get me ry prize picks? No, no, no,
(31:04):

best app to get real money sports action while watching

that actually makes the picks for us, or that gives
you picks. You can go with them or not go
with them. Of course, you think Clay's gonna be wrong,
And now that he's gone, I'll say that he's been
wrong a couple of times recently. I'm just saying, Clay,
you know what I mean. Papa Buck needs a new
pair of shoes. Here, you're gonna You're gonna get us.
This is a twenty to one payout we have. I
(31:45):

I'm just telling this is what happens. Okay, Jalen hurts
more than point five rushing, uh Russell Wilson more than
two hundred and twenty six. I guess that's yards. Sequan right,
(32:12):
Sequan more than port five TD rush receiving. And then George,
Now what, George P. I don't know what this guy's know,
do you, guys? George to say Pickles? What's his name?

held it, say Quan producer Mark, thank you sake. Oh,

more than sixty six point five. Okay, so we got
George Pickens more, Jade and Daniels more, Jalen Hurts more,
Russell Wilson more, and se Quan uh also more. So
those are your prize picks for this week. Prize picks
super fun. I'm gonna put them in now. Hopefully Clay's right.
(32:56):
I think it's a twenty to one payout, but it's great.
You get to watch the games, you get it on
the p and then if we're if play's wrong, we
make fun of him. If he's right, we make money.
Yay prize picks. Download the app, use code buck, use
code buck with prize picks and it'll be fun. We'll
talk to you about it more tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Turkey Talk on November seventeen in the Klein Buck podcast
feed on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Holding up Chop today on Clay and Buck. I'll be
with you again solo tomorrow. Our friend David Harsanyi, who
is one of the guys, another person who I've known
in this business since the very beginning. I think he
actually edited a couple of my first editorials at the
Blaze dot com. A really great guys sharp mind, good
book that just came out, the Rise of Blue and nine,
(33:43):
just about the embrace of conspiracy theories like Russia collusion,
all this craziness by the left, by the Democrats. So
we'll talk to him about that in the show tomorrow,
obviously following up more on the Trump cabinet picks and
good stuff like that. And look, as you know, I
subscribe to a philosoph fee of no enemies to the right,
(34:03):
and I like to praise the work of good conservatives
out there, and people who are also doing radio shows,
podcast TV shows, if they're doing good work, I'm glad
they're on our team. And so I'm not like a
radio feud guy, right, that was an old thing that
used to happen, people with radio feud. But you know,
I have my limits. And someone who Clay I think
(34:27):
of as a good friend, seems to have, you know,
maybe thrown a little bit of a brushback pitch in
my direction here. All right, our good friend mister Jesse Kelly,
also a preier Network syndicated show is out there on
his show saying that it is un American to celebrate
the election with some delicious homemade pistachio crembrulet. I don't
(34:51):
even know what to say about this. I want you
to hear this utter blasphemy about what is a delicious
confection for all occasions like twenty six.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Setting aside the pinky out weirdness of eating pistachio cremberley
and then admitting it. Everybody knows rule number one of
dessert is, you don't nut the dessert. You never nut
the dessert. Keep your nuts out of the dessert. Nuts
do not belong a dessert. They're finding candy bars occasionally.
(35:24):
Maybe maybe I'll give you a nut rageous. You know
what I will. I'll give you a nut rageous. You
put your nuts in that. You don't put your nuts
in pudding. You don't put your nuts in brownies, you
don't put your nuts in in cremberlay. Keep your nuts
out of the dessert.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Okay, let me just say, I only have to use
one word here for my comeback, which is Snickers boom.
No nuts in the dessert. Okay, he said, maybe the
candy bars, but beyond that on brownies. I agree, walnuts
and brownies pure savagery, terrible idea. But mister Jesse Kelly,
(36:04):
let me tell you this right now. The kind of
man who orders seventy five dollars a shot tequila shots
on my co host Clay's tab is also the kind
of man who, in a sprawling estate would have the
gardeners running around so he could shoot at them with
paintball guns because he likes to mock the pores. I'm
just saying, okay, like you know what I mean, throwing
(36:27):
living in a glasshouse with your stones, big throne at
Pistachio crem Broulet. So we'll see what he has to
say about that. We love Jesse Kelly. He does a
great show. I'll be back with you guys tomorrow. We'll
have some fun here, We'll get in some serious stuff.
I'm looking forward to it, and yeah, good things are coming.
So me so lit tomorrow and then plays back Monday,
(36:49):
