Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our number three Halloween.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Addition, we appreciate all of you hanging outlet all of
us as we enter into what hopefully you will be
a fun, festive, spooky night for many of you with
your kids, grandkids, friends and family across the country. I'm
going to be out trick or treating with my ten
year old and Laura Travis will be passing out a
(00:24):
lot of adult treats by fireball shots in our neighborhood,
as adults now often trick or treat potentially with alcohol
involved in our neighborhood. At least, I know that's becoming
increasingly more common across the country as everybody tries to
have a good time. By the way, congratulations to the
LA Dodgers. I know we have a substantial audience on
(00:45):
the West Coast that was excited about that. The Yankees,
I'm gonna be honest, kind of blew it buck in
the World Series and baseball season officially came to a
close last night. We have got a bunch of different
stories that we are trying. Trump puts on a garbage
outfit in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and it is absolutely hysterical.
(01:06):
We'll play a couple of those clips for you. Mark
Cuban has said that Donald Trump has no women around
him who are strong and intelligent. That has blown up
in a huge way. We've got having some fun with Halloween.
We were just talking about a variety of different Halloween
(01:28):
related topics. Eight hundred and two. Two aight a two,
If you guys want to weigh in at all in
this final hour and have some fun relating to Halloween. Certainly,
the biggest scare out there at all for many of us,
is that Kamala Harris, based on her policies, could end
up in office. But I did think Buck it's rare
that I say this, but our good friend Brian Stelter
(01:49):
over at CNN had a tweet that I thought was
particularly apropos and I want to read it directly for
all of you out there so that you can see,
you know, kind of the idea that the mainstream media
continues to collapse in terms of its influence and Stelter
(02:10):
runs reliable sources, I think is the aspect of CNN
that he runs. He's back on the air quite a lot,
but he tweeted this yesterday, anonymous TV executive. If half
the country has decided Trump is qualified to be president.
That means they're not reading any of this media and
(02:31):
we've lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream
media is dead in its current form. Again, that's a
quote from Brian Stelter about an anonymous TV executive who
told him that, And I saw this last night, Buck,
I think that anonymous TV executive is right. I think,
(02:52):
as we stand on the precipice here five days away
from the election, if you believe as I do, that
much of the modern day media needs to be shattered, destroyed,
and rebuilt in order to more accurately reflect truth, honesty,
and just not be propagandistic in nature, then I think
(03:17):
you need to vote Trump. Because it's one thing. If
you listen to this program, Buck and I are going
to share our opinions on everything under the sun. For instance,
Reese's peanut butter cups are the absolute greatest of all
Halloween treats. Would you sign on to that, Buck, Yes,
I would. Unfortunately yes. And also we think you should
(03:37):
vote for Donald Trump. You don't have to agree with this.
We're in the opinion business. The problem is there are
lots of outlets out there that claim that they are
fair unbiased and in no way trying to put actual
weight onto the scale that are being fundamentally dishonest. And
I think what you're seeing with the Jeff Bezoses of
the world, the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, certainly we've
(03:58):
seen it in a strong way. From Eline Musk is
many of these individuals that have been very successful in
a variety of American industry are looking in media and
either being involved directly themselves or recognizing how broken it
really is. And I think Trump in many ways has
exploited that brokenness, helped to create and create more of
(04:20):
a broken nature in the media. And I think part
of their anger at Trump is not even necessarily about
Trump at all. It's about his recognition that their influence
continues to collapse.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Look, Clay, they've gone all in, and so now how
do they try to walk this back or how do
they go forward? If I tell somebody that tomorrow, if
you don't do what I say, tomorrow is the end
of the world, and then they wake up tomorrow and
everything is fine, why are they going to listen to
(04:52):
me in the future, And what does that It's like
the one thing you never want to do if you
want to have credibility, right is, you know, don't want
to ever make a threat you can follow up. You
don't want to make predictions of the end of the
world and then have to turn around and say, not
only has the world failed to end, but things are
actually going pretty damn well. And that's what they're facing
I think here with a Trump victory. I mean, if
(05:14):
if they tell us that Donald Trump is Hitler and
he's clearly not, and the American people reject that, and
we're not even getting into the four criminal indictments and
the criminal prosecution and conviction of Trump on one in
one case, but they've they've done everything they can to
say that this guy is a monster. And even they
(05:35):
have to admit Clay, it's it's a coin toss right now, right,
So it's not like they're saying, hey, we think Kamala
Harris is the better choice. The Washington Post, the New
York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and all of the other theater
you know, entities or the tributaries of those media outlets
(05:56):
all take the position that Donald Trump is beyond the pale,
is hilarian, fascistic, and the end of America. Well what
happens when he wins, you know what I mean, Like,
why would you listen to anyone who says something so
crazy and then it's proven to be false? And I
think that's what there's a concern about here. I also
(06:19):
think that it's really hard to get attention from people
if you're going to just go to abject catastrophism and
then they realize that catastrophes aren't happening. Right, This is
the old It's Chicken, little sky is falling, or It's
the Boy who Cried Wolf, or whatever fairy tale storytale
you want to tell about this. The basic moral is
(06:39):
still true. And that's what they have done. They have
painted themselves into a corner. There's absolutely no way out
for the media right now. If Donald Trump wins. They
have all united and basically said it is the end
of the country of Trump wins. Well, what does the
Washington Post say starting in January February of next year,
when Trump is president the country's So what was that
(07:01):
all about?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
This is the existential crisis of credibility, which is what
it is. And Jeff Bezos realizes that an existential crisis
of credibility that the Democrat legacy media faces right now.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
A couple of data points that I want to share
with you. Republicans are doing great in Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina.
Based on Republican versus Democrat turnout numbers, Republicans have the
lead in all three of those states. Our friend Ryan
gurdusky Buck has continued to share with all of you
(07:36):
the data on absentee ballots and mail ballots, and it
looks like Democrats in twenty twenty four are going to
be around seven hundred thousand less absentee in mail ballots
in twenty twenty four than they were able to vote
in twenty twenty. Now Democrats would say, oh, well that's
(07:58):
because of COVID. Well we're going to show up at
the polls in person and make up for it. Do
you buy that? I don't. And I think what you're
going to see is increasingly you're seeing people say, hey,
you know what the data is reflecting that the turnout
is not going to be as big in twenty twenty
(08:21):
four four as it was in twenty twenty. And I
think that's going to require people to start to answer
and maybe contemplate some new questions. And I saw this
this morning, Buck from Nate Cone at the New York Times.
Most of the evidence from key states suggests the black
share of the electorate might drop, an overall turnout might
(08:42):
drop as well. This means in twenty twenty four, Republicans
are participating more vigorously than usual, even compared with pre
COVID elections. In early voting, you guys are doing the work.
Continue to power through, and this guy's going to end
up being the president of the United States. I want
to play it again because I just thought it was
(09:03):
so funny, and I know we got a lot of
new people listening. In the third hour of the program,
Trump drove everyone crazy by getting in a garbage truck,
by being in a garbage man outfit. And I encourage
you to go watch some more of these clips. But
I think the funniest one of these, Buck is Trump
talking about the fact that he decided to give the
(09:24):
speech in Green Bay, Wisconsin because they told him he
looked slimmer, skinnier in the garbage man outfit. This man
is a political and marketing genius, but he's also really funny.
Listen to this cut.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I got in the car and I'm driving over here,
and I have this still on and I come into
the arena and I say, where's my jacket? I want
to get out of this stake. And they said it
would be unbelievable if you could wear it on stage.
I said, and.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I said, no way.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I got twenty five thousand people standing outside.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I got all these people here.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
There's no way I'm wearing it on stage. They said, oh, okay, sir,
I said, get me my jacket. But if you did,
you know it actually makes you look thinner.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I said, turn.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
And they got me. I said, I want to wear
it on stage.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
When they said I look thinner, I said, in that.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Case, I'll wear it.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I said, fuck, we have never seen this was yesterday
Trump campaigning in the garbage outfit. We've never seen anybody,
I believe who has more fun on the campaign trail
than Trump. But his decision to get in a garbage
truck and do a press conference from there, CNN broke
(10:56):
into live programming to cover that. They were all trying
to put that the garbage comment didn't happen. Trump said, no,
I'm going to be as explicit as possible and make
this remain a story on the cycle for another full day.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Well, it's amazing because he's continued to do the thing
that his opponents in the media recognize after twenty sixteen
they have to avoid doing, which is to cover him
when they don't want to right coverage of him that
is negative. Sure, but remember in twenty sixteen, CNN covered
all of his rallies because they thought it was hilarious,
laughing at him, not with him, and that it was
(11:33):
great ratings for them. So it was like it was
like watching a you know, a clown show for the
CNN audience. Well it turned out it wasn't so funny
when election Day happened. And this time around, I think
there are a lot of ways in which they don't
want to cover Trump, but he'd creates such a spectacle
in such a draw that they will break into him
in situations like this and then try to explain to
(11:54):
everybody how the funny thing that they saw wasn't actually funny,
or the lighthearted moment and the happy crowd around Trump
is actually a bunch of Nazis, you know they but
they still have to talk about it, they still have
to cover it. Meanwhile, what is the most memorable thing
from the Kamala Harris campaign and the few months that
this has been going on, and the billion dollars of
(12:15):
media that they have bought in a ninety day period,
what is the most memorable thing. I don't think she's
done anything to show anyone that there's anything particularly unique
or interesting about Kamala Harris as a politician and as
a leader.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't think she's had really buck I was. I
was thinking about that this morning, a legitimately good day
since the debate. I mean, I think she was better
than most people expected. What was that like September tenth,
It's now been virtually two months ago. I was trying
to think of a week where she's grabbed control of
the narrative cycle that has been really good for her.
(12:55):
It really hasn't happened. And she got a little bit
of a bump after the debate because I think some
of the Kamala supporters were energized by that, But basically
every week since then, she has gotten weaker and Trump
has completely taken control of the entire narrative cycle for
the past couple of months, and I think it's really accelerated.
(13:15):
To be fair, if we go back and look at
this and again five days from now, we'll know for sure,
but it feels like to me, bucket really accelerated with
Jade Vance's performance and the vice presidential debate. I feel
like that's kind of the point where it got dialed
to a different degree.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
And we haven't even talked about it yet. But Jadi
Vance was just on Rogan and the Rogan episode is out,
which when you're done listening to Clay and buck of
course if you feel like listen to by all means.
But notice that Donald Trump sits down with Joe Rogan
has time for him, no problem, Jeddi Van sits down
with him, no problem. Kamala wanted Rogan to go to
(13:49):
her and only do an hour, And you sit there,
you say to yourself, if you're Konala Harris, you should
want all the exposure to that audience you can possibly Again,
we all know why she doesn't. It's because the more
people know about her, the less they want to vote
for her. And this is obvious. That's why I think
there's such a tone of like the desperate ex girlfriend
(14:13):
over at MSNBC, of like you know, if you don't
if you don't return my phone calls, I'm going to
leave you, and it's like, well, I've already broken up
with you. Yeah, you're not making any sense. You're being
a little crazy. MSNBC is trying to convince its audience
that Kamala Harris is a good candidate and a particularly
strong leader, and they recognize that it's not taking No
(14:34):
one believes this, and this has been clear for a while.
A lot of Democrats will just vote Democrat because that's
what they do. But if you're talking about a swing voter,
I can't imagine. I would love to just maybe we'll
have some of them call in, like, what is the
mindset of a swing voter. We've got them listening right now,
a swing voter who is still thinking, I'm between Kamala
and Trumpet? What else?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
What question?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
If you're listening to us right now and you have
not decided how to vote eight hundred and two two
two eight A two, I'm genuinely curious if there's anybody
out there listening to us that truly doesn't know how
they're gonna vote.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
If you're thinking about getting a new firearm, perhaps your
first firearm, or like me, you're gonna be adding to
the collection, what is the name that you should go
to Bear Creek Arsenal. This is a company that is
making top quality firearms at simply unbeatable prices. Base here
North Carolina. I went to their factory, got to shoot
a lot of their stuff. It was really cool. It's fun.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Mark Cuban has stepped in it, my friends, A lot
of people unhappy with his note.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No strong like independent woman whatever support No Donald.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Said basically, there are no strong intelligent women they are Yeah.
Even worse, no strong intelligent women work with Donald Trump.
He's not surrounded by them at all.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Here is elist Stephonic speaking about that. Listen to it.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Just one day after Joe Biden sneered two hundred and
fifty million Americans as garbage. Now, Mark Cuban, Kamala Harris's
top ally says no strong and intelligent women support Trump.
It's a disgrace, and Kamala Harris stays silent. She must
be defeated in five days to save America. I'm proud
(17:08):
to be the highest ranking woman in the United States Congress.
When I ran, i was the youngest woman ever elected.
I'm the most senior woman on the House Armed Services Committee,
the House Intelligence Committee, and I proudly am voting and
endorse President Trump. Save America in five days Vote Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
They're pretty strong. There are a lot of women putting
out these statements buck all over the place, and I
think it's really just unbelievable that their closing argument would be, Hey,
if you're voting for Trump, your garbage, and there are
no strong, intelligent women that are voting basically for Trump
(17:48):
at all.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, I'm amazed at Mark Cubans very dumb comments, which
maybe I shouldn't be. You know, there's a Wall Street
veteran who's made a bold announcement as it relates to
the following day, Friday, November eighth. He's up to speed
and informed in ways that so many people are, and
that's why he wants to bring you these insights. This
(18:12):
is a guy with sizeable Wall Street experience. He thinks
November eighth will open the biggest rapid fire money making
opportunity of his fifty year career. In short, a disconnect
in the stock market has opened a way to spot
potential buying spreeze on five thousand different stocks before they occur,
and it could double your portfolio. This individual comes with Kravitosk.
He recommended an AI stock ten years ago, which would
(18:34):
have made you thirty two thousand percent if you'd bought
and held. Go to Stocks twenty twenty five dot com
for details on how his strange new discovery could double
your portfolio. That's Stocks twenty twenty five dot com stocks

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Slee, Travis, and buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Oh, several
callers out there say they are undecided. Yeah, there's a
talk that they're still undecided voters between now and Tuesday.
Crazy for me to believe, but three of them have
(19:14):
called in. Uh, Jimmy and Rogersville, Tennessee. How did you
vote in the past and why are you undecided right now?
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Well, Republican in the past. I didn't get what the
question was when I called in first. But anyway, I
just want to let you guys in on some breaking news.
All right. Uh uh you noticed where they reported this
week that there's less democratic early voting in Pennsylvania than normal.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yes, the reason is.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
There's less dead voter shutting up this.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Time, right, Thank you Jimmy for the call. I do
think the argument that suddenly seven hundred thousand people who
voted absentee or mail in twenty twenty are going to
show up in person on Tuesday is highly unlikely, which
(20:14):
is why I'm optimistic Trump is going to win Pennsylvania.
That's based on the data that is out there right now,
Matt in Orange, California. Why are you undecided? How have
you voted in the past.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Hick Queen buck in the past. Its informed, but I
didn't also have four years of listening to you guys
to prepare me. But I'm leaning towards Trump. But one
of my concerns is a medic and a medical unit
in the US. I'm a reserve, and my fears that
you know, Trump is elected, that not only when we
(20:47):
the powers that be, might encourage some type of economic
downturn or catastrophe that might be sort of a reckoning
on all of our trying to promote American prosperity, but
also that we might get pulled into some type of
war war with Iran. It might end up leaving me deployed.
I'm a twenty nine year old father too, and I
(21:08):
don't want to, you know, have to spend any more
time away from my kids than I have to.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So can I ask you a question here about this?
I appreciate you you calling in Trump is I think
we can agree, and this is I'm gonna try to
keep this on the factual right because I could just
tell you know what I think, you know what Clay
thinks about the choice you're making here. Trump is the
only president that I can think of, certainly in my
adult lifetime who started no new wars. When you think
(21:35):
about the risk of a war that would occur, why
doesn't that Why isn't that a determining factor? I guess
the history of Trump's first term when you're concerned about
an expansion of war. I mean to me, if you
look at even for example, the Obama administration, whether it
was Livy Asyria, more engagements or more troops deployed in
(22:00):
Afghanistan than ever before the war machine was alive and
well under Democrats, what what is the you think that
Kamala Harris is more likely to keep us out of war?
That that's the part of it that I can't see.
So help me, help me understand this.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Well, I do see a lot of value and in
Trump's track record, I really appreciate that, and I think
that definitely speaks for itself. I think that, you know,
I'm hopeful and I expect Trump to win, and I
hope that that he does indeed follow through on minimizing
these you know, the world, the world on fire, these wars,
(22:35):
and uh, this my fear that maybe some of the conflicts,
you know, whether or not they start, whether or not
be participate, might not be necessarily one hundred percent up
to him, and and I hope that I hope that
it is. I hope he can do what he can
to fight for us, because it's clear that he is
uh the anti war president, And while in that way,
I just don't want to be. I don't want my
(22:56):
kids to know that I voted for something that ended
up in me to have to be participating in some.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
How old are your kids?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
My kids are two and six.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
What are they going to be for Halloween?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
How you know? We actually are gonna sit this one
out this year. We have a fall festival. But my
wife is I had to change your heart about Halloween
in the past two years. So we're going to be
enjoying a nice party, all the you know, same festivities,
tons of candy, but not as attracted to the idea
(23:33):
of all the scary and the demonic looking things that
we see out there. So I know you guys clearly
are excited, but we are too, just going to celebrate
in our own way this year.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Well, thanks for the call, Good luck to your kids.
Thanks for the service, and I think Trump is most
likely to keep you from ever having to deploy and
go away from those young kids, which I can certainly
understand that being a primary decision maker for you for sure.
Donald and Kentucky Buck says he's undecided. Started listening to
(24:04):
us in the last few weeks and now is leaning Trump.
Why did you decide to start listening to us, Donald.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Well, first of all, I want to thank the last
caller for a service to our country. My father is
in the service, all my uncles. Unfortunately I wasn't able
to serve, but I do appreciate what he's doing for
our country. My main reason is because of the fact
that as I start, I say, I've been a registered
Democrat my whole life. I've never voted a straight ticket.
But I but I just the media isn't telling us
(24:31):
things about Vice President Harris that I'm starting to learn
listening to you guys. It's not that I'm learning a
lot more about Donald Trump. Although Kuda is foring for
fort for standing up for his supporters. I think that's
a big deal. But man, I just you know, I
just I'm starting to listen to you guys, and when
you guys say say stuff. I don't take it to heart.
(24:52):
I'm just going to beat up front of you. I'm
writing it down, I'm researching it myself, and I'm finding
out that there's just so much about her that we
are not being told, and not so much things she does,
the things she doesn't do, and it scares me. And
my wife is still she's still looking at it as
a bright future Democrat deal, but I I just I'm scared.
(25:13):
We have children and grandchildren, and I travel a lot.
As a matter of fact, I'm in Pennsylvania right now
for my for my work, and and I just I
travel a lot, and I'm listening to more and more people.
I used to just not listen. I used to consider
anything the right said rhetoric and I've been wrong. And
and the more I listen to you and I listen
(25:33):
to other people and I compare it to other to
left left leaning media, the more I realized I've just
been lied to, and I've been I've just been abused
for so many years, and I'm angry about it. I'm angry.
And I've never been in a position before where I
where I was voting to not vote for somebody, but
(25:55):
I think I'm gonna wind up in a position where
I'm gonna be voting to not vote for Vice President US,
and we'll hate you.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I think that's the right decision. So if that makes
you feel better, at least you're getting to the right answer.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I do think, Buck, there are a lot of people
out there, and I appreciate any of you that are
new listeners to this program. Certainly Rush built a huge audience,
but I think there is a new generation of people
out there that has this sense, Buck, that they're not
getting the full story. And I like that he said
he writes stuff down. I mean, go look it up.
You should never agree one hundred percent. I believe with
(26:29):
anybody that you listened to in media at all, we
really try to get all of our facts right. And
I know I speak for both of us when I
say if we get a factor wrong, we really kind
of feel ill. On the show. You might not agree
with an opinion, but an opinion is only as good
as the factual foundation upon which it is based. So
we really try to base our opinions on solid fact
(26:50):
and you guys can go look them up. I mean,
I think that's that's good. I like to hear that
people are, you know, engaging with ideas and arguments in
an intellectual way and find to weigh them.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I think that's what an intelligent voter should do. Ricky
in tennessee what you got for us? Ricky, we asked
for undecided callers. By the way, I appreciate all of
you weighing in.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Yes. So yeah, I have always leaned Republican. I have
been undecided though because I have three girls at home
and so this election cycle. I've never really been a big,
you know, political person. So what I did was I said, Okay,
I'm not just gonna throw under the bus. Let me see,
you know, right, let me see what she stands for.
(27:32):
Obviously I didn't care for the last administration because you know,
I can't buy home, I can't for groceries, I can't
pay for my gas. So I, you know, I was like, okay, well,
let's see what she's got to say. And she started
out it sounded great, I'm gonna change, you know, we're
gonna do this, and we're gonna do that. But then
as as I started to listen and pay attention, she
(27:53):
starts to talk about, Okay, well she gonna ask some
of you, what would she do different? What would she change?
And she's literally just said I would not change a thing.
And from that moment on, I started to push back
towards Trump. Now I appreciated the Trump administration before, but
I just I never thought he had the charisma and
(28:13):
the knowledge to carry us as president, mainly because I
believe the media at that point. I do not now
because once that was like the last caller. Once you
start researching, once you start listening, looking up the Kamalophiles
and looking up Project twenty twenty five and seeing what
it actually says, it's what the media tells us is
absolutely not true. And so I was undecided. But you know,
(28:38):
now I have a strong foundation, and I work for
the grocery industry. And one of the things that she's
talked about is the issue with you know, groceries and
gas and you know.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Well she says, she says price gouging. Right, So why
don't why don't you just tell your entire supply chain
that you want to give everybody a twenty percent discount
on groceries. I feel like your grocery would shut down
pretty quickly.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Absolutely, And I'm our company is kind of an example
of what happens when you give tax breaks to corporations.
So during COVID, obviously you know, the grocery industry boomed,
Our stock is trippled. The last three years, we've opened
I think twenty new stores and we've hired five thousand people.
And it's it's proof my job, the job I have
(29:25):
now is a product of that extra income being influxed
into our company. So it's proof that the decisions and
the policies that Trump was setting forth works. And so
that's why I have now pushed towards the Trump administration.
But I was undecided, and I still you know, I
wanted to give her a chance. I wanted to honestly
hear what she had to say. But she's not said
(29:45):
anything of value. It's all just Trump's the fascist and
he loves Hitler, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You're also remember, coming to the right conclusion is coming
to the right conclusion. So we appreciate you, sir, thank
you for your thoughtful and out, you know, thoughtful lane
out of your whole process. I would just say, Clay,
you know, people shouldn't be hard on themselves also when
it comes to finding out that they were misled by
the media. The media is not supposed to lie to
(30:13):
you all the time. Yeah, they're not supposed to do that. Actually,
and we all grew up and now you know, you
and I work in this business. I've been doing this
for a while and I was the CIA before, so
I know about people lying. And you know, the intelligence
business is basically one of deception, so it's not surprising
(30:33):
and people think things that are not true. You see
Bill Ackman admitted this. I was shocked. Bill Ackman is
a billionaire hedge fund guy, super smart now, a Trumper
by the way, and a Democrat his whole life. He's like, look,
I'm embarrassed to say this, but until recently, I believe
that Trump said that the white supremacists with the tiki
torches in Charlottesville were very fine people. This is a
(30:58):
billionaire hedge fund manager with more access and education, et
cetera than anybody could ever imagine on the planet. Basically, Okay,
he's in the one one thousandth of one percent in
terms of wealth access and he was totally swindled, totally
fooled by the narrative.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I think that's a great point, and I think all
of our callers. I really appreciate you calling in when
we asked for undecided people out there. You have to
do your own research in many ways to recognize what
the truth is. And to your point, Buck, even a
guy like Bill Ackman, super smart, highly successful, but also
very busy trying to be elite at what he does
(31:39):
for a living, he just accepted at face value that
what he was told by the media.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
And I think a lot of people still Elon. Elon
was a Democrat, Elon was a guy who will been
Now he's like, look, I just used to think the
New York Times is reporting facts. I was busy building
amazing companies and didn't you know, dig too deep into this.
And he's now leading the charge alongside Trump with we
got to throw out this whole system of constant propaganda
and lies, right, I mean, yes, some of the smartest
(32:06):
people in the world have been fooled by. This is
what I'm trying to say. So no one should ever
feel like, oh, you know, I'm a trump Er. Now,
why didn't I understand before? Because it's really hard because
they're lying to you all the time. This is like,
why do people fall for financial frauds? Because the guys
are really slick with how they promise you things that's right,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
So I don't and by I also don't think announcing
that you're willing to change your mind as a sign
of weakness if the facts change and the data on
the ground. I mean, Elon voted for Joe Biden. Buck
Elon voted for Biden in twenty twenty, and now he's
campaigning aggressively for Trump. He's seen the light. I didn't
(32:44):
vote for Trump in sixteen.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I voted libertarian. I know I'm a moron, but.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
In twenty I was as hardcore for Trump as I
could be after seeing him in office in what he did.
And now I mean, I'm traveling to Pennsylvania try to
help rally voters in the final weekend, spending a lot
of my own money to get up there and help
Dave McCormick get across the finish line as well as Trump,
because that's how important I think it is. And to
his credit, Elon's doing it, Bill Ackman's doing it, Tulsea
(33:12):
Gabber is doing it. There's a whole lot of people
that have joined what I would call the good guys
since twenty twenty even I think COVID opened a lot
of eyes, and I think it basically destroyed any legitimacy
that's left in the media. But let's have some more fun.
We'll close out Halloween prize picks. I want to give
you a prize picks Halloween winning quad here. All right,
(33:35):
So tonight the Houston Texans are playing in New York
against the Jets. That is Thursday Night football. Let me
pull up my phone and make sure I didn't screw
this up because I've been focused so much on the
election that I'm not an expert necessarily on every night. Yes,
Texans are on the road in New York tonight. Many
of you are going to be out trick or treating,
(33:56):
but you can go ahead and get your picks in
and we can win ten to one. I'm taking CJ.
Stroud less than two hundred and twenty five and a
half passing yards, Aaron Rodgers less than two hundred and
thirty six and a half passing yards. I think this
is gonna be a low scoring defensive battle. I am, however,
taking Davonte Adams, new wide receiver for the Jets, more
(34:18):
than fifty nine and a half yards receiving and then
Joe Mixon running back for the Texans less than eighty
six and a half rushing yards. So I'm going less
for CJ. Stroud and Aaron Rodgers on passing. I'm going
less for Joe Mixon on running, and more for Devonte Adams.
If I'm right on these, you will get a ten
(34:38):
to one payout Prizepicks dot Com my Name Clay. First
time you play, you get fifty bucks. No matter what
that's Pricepicks dot Com my Name Clay.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
They do a lot of it with the Sunday Hang
Join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up in
the Klay and Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Closing up shop here on Clay and Buck. It is
the end of the last full week before the election
and his madness. By the way, I'll be in Savannah,
Joja tomorrow a day battle ground birthdays tomorrow, so battleground
State of Georgia. I'll be there with all the Sextons,
gathered to celebrate mom's birthday, just because we like Savannah.
(35:24):
So if you see somebody walking around with a sort
of a half Beard and some poofy on Kemptere and
you're like, that might be Buck Sexton on the streets
of Savannah. It is, Come and say hi, I'll probably
be with my dad, mom and brothers and sister. So
we're gonna be taking Savannah by storm, looking forward to it.
Tonight is Halloween there, so that'll be interesting. And yeah,
(35:44):
so I'm gonna become with everybody from Savannah tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh man, are you in Savannah tonight? Oh yeah, Oh
I bet Savannah on Halloween is pretty awesome. You got
to get out the big city for like haunted history
tours and stuff. Yeah, yeah, we might, We might you
tag along in one of those. You lived in DC,
Georgetown is one of the most fun places in America
on Halloween.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
The amount of.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Part I always think of Georgetown as its own city.
Georgetown's the best part of DC by far in my opinion,
and the Halloween there is is awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Well, we want all of you to stay safe, get
your votes in, have fun with the kids, grandkids, and yourselves,
and we look forward to being back with you tomorrow.
I know a lot of you are going to be hungover,
so we will do our best to power you into
the weekend. I bet there's a lot of people who
suddenly are going to have a little bit of cough
and maybe not make it into the office on this
coming Friday after a little bit too much festivities tonight.
(36:38):
So stay safe, have fun. We love all you guys.
Get the votes in. We appreciate the undecided voters who
called in really interesting stories. Appreciate you sharing how you're
making your decisions. There's only one decision that we think
makes sense. That's Trump. We're going to keep fighting for
in five days. Get the votes in now,
Our number three Halloween.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Addition, we appreciate all of you hanging outlet all of
us as we enter into what hopefully you will be
a fun, festive, spooky night for many of you with
your kids, grandkids, friends and family across the country. I'm
going to be out trick or treating with my ten
year old and Laura Travis will be passing out a
(00:24):
lot of adult treats by fireball shots in our neighborhood,
as adults now often trick or treat potentially with alcohol
involved in our neighborhood. At least, I know that's becoming
increasingly more common across the country as everybody tries to
have a good time. By the way, congratulations to the
LA Dodgers. I know we have a substantial audience on
(00:45):
the West Coast that was excited about that. The Yankees,
I'm gonna be honest, kind of blew it buck in
the World Series and baseball season officially came to a
close last night. We have got a bunch of different
stories that we are trying. Trump puts on a garbage
outfit in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and it is absolutely hysterical.
(01:06):
We'll play a couple of those clips for you. Mark
Cuban has said that Donald Trump has no women around
him who are strong and intelligent. That has blown up
in a huge way. We've got having some fun with Halloween.
We were just talking about a variety of different Halloween
(01:28):
related topics. Eight hundred and two. Two aight a two,
If you guys want to weigh in at all in
this final hour and have some fun relating to Halloween. Certainly,
the biggest scare out there at all for many of us,
is that Kamala Harris, based on her policies, could end
up in office. But I did think Buck it's rare
that I say this, but our good friend Brian Stelter
(01:49):
over at CNN had a tweet that I thought was
particularly apropos and I want to read it directly for
all of you out there so that you can see,
you know, kind of the idea that the mainstream media
continues to collapse in terms of its influence and Stelter
(02:10):
runs reliable sources, I think is the aspect of CNN
that he runs. He's back on the air quite a lot,
but he tweeted this yesterday, anonymous TV executive. If half
the country has decided Trump is qualified to be president.
That means they're not reading any of this media and
(02:31):
we've lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream
media is dead in its current form. Again, that's a
quote from Brian Stelter about an anonymous TV executive who
told him that, And I saw this last night, Buck,
I think that anonymous TV executive is right. I think,
(02:52):
as we stand on the precipice here five days away
from the election, if you believe as I do, that
much of the modern day media needs to be shattered, destroyed,
and rebuilt in order to more accurately reflect truth, honesty,
and just not be propagandistic in nature, then I think
(03:17):
you need to vote Trump. Because it's one thing. If
you listen to this program, Buck and I are going
to share our opinions on everything under the sun. For instance,
Reese's peanut butter cups are the absolute greatest of all
Halloween treats. Would you sign on to that, Buck, Yes,
I would. Unfortunately yes. And also we think you should
(03:37):
vote for Donald Trump. You don't have to agree with this.
We're in the opinion business. The problem is there are
lots of outlets out there that claim that they are
fair unbiased and in no way trying to put actual
weight onto the scale that are being fundamentally dishonest. And
I think what you're seeing with the Jeff Bezoses of
the world, the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, certainly we've
(03:58):
seen it in a strong way. From Eline Musk is
many of these individuals that have been very successful in
a variety of American industry are looking in media and
either being involved directly themselves or recognizing how broken it
really is. And I think Trump in many ways has
exploited that brokenness, helped to create and create more of
(04:20):
a broken nature in the media. And I think part
of their anger at Trump is not even necessarily about
Trump at all. It's about his recognition that their influence
continues to collapse.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Look, Clay, they've gone all in, and so now how
do they try to walk this back or how do
they go forward? If I tell somebody that tomorrow, if
you don't do what I say, tomorrow is the end
of the world, and then they wake up tomorrow and
everything is fine, why are they going to listen to
(04:52):
me in the future, And what does that It's like
the one thing you never want to do if you
want to have credibility, right is, you know, don't want
to ever make a threat you can follow up. You
don't want to make predictions of the end of the
world and then have to turn around and say, not
only has the world failed to end, but things are
actually going pretty damn well. And that's what they're facing
I think here with a Trump victory. I mean, if
(05:14):
if they tell us that Donald Trump is Hitler and
he's clearly not, and the American people reject that, and
we're not even getting into the four criminal indictments and
the criminal prosecution and conviction of Trump on one in
one case, but they've they've done everything they can to
say that this guy is a monster. And even they
(05:35):
have to admit Clay, it's it's a coin toss right now, right,
So it's not like they're saying, hey, we think Kamala
Harris is the better choice. The Washington Post, the New
York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and all of the other theater
you know, entities or the tributaries of those media outlets
(05:56):
all take the position that Donald Trump is beyond the pale,
is hilarian, fascistic, and the end of America. Well what
happens when he wins, you know what I mean, Like,
why would you listen to anyone who says something so
crazy and then it's proven to be false? And I
think that's what there's a concern about here. I also
(06:19):
think that it's really hard to get attention from people
if you're going to just go to abject catastrophism and
then they realize that catastrophes aren't happening. Right, This is
the old It's Chicken, little sky is falling, or It's
the Boy who Cried Wolf, or whatever fairy tale storytale
you want to tell about this. The basic moral is
(06:39):
still true. And that's what they have done. They have
painted themselves into a corner. There's absolutely no way out
for the media right now. If Donald Trump wins. They
have all united and basically said it is the end
of the country of Trump wins. Well, what does the
Washington Post say starting in January February of next year,
when Trump is president the country's So what was that
(07:01):
all about?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
This is the existential crisis of credibility, which is what
it is. And Jeff Bezos realizes that an existential crisis
of credibility that the Democrat legacy media faces right now.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
A couple of data points that I want to share
with you. Republicans are doing great in Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina.
Based on Republican versus Democrat turnout numbers, Republicans have the
lead in all three of those states. Our friend Ryan
gurdusky Buck has continued to share with all of you
(07:36):
the data on absentee ballots and mail ballots, and it
looks like Democrats in twenty twenty four are going to
be around seven hundred thousand less absentee in mail ballots
in twenty twenty four than they were able to vote
in twenty twenty. Now Democrats would say, oh, well that's
(07:58):
because of COVID. Well we're going to show up at
the polls in person and make up for it. Do
you buy that? I don't. And I think what you're
going to see is increasingly you're seeing people say, hey,
you know what the data is reflecting that the turnout
is not going to be as big in twenty twenty
(08:21):
four four as it was in twenty twenty. And I
think that's going to require people to start to answer
and maybe contemplate some new questions. And I saw this
this morning, Buck from Nate Cone at the New York Times.
Most of the evidence from key states suggests the black
share of the electorate might drop, an overall turnout might
(08:42):
drop as well. This means in twenty twenty four, Republicans
are participating more vigorously than usual, even compared with pre
COVID elections. In early voting, you guys are doing the work.
Continue to power through, and this guy's going to end
up being the president of the United States. I want
to play it again because I just thought it was
(09:03):
so funny, and I know we got a lot of
new people listening. In the third hour of the program,
Trump drove everyone crazy by getting in a garbage truck,
by being in a garbage man outfit. And I encourage
you to go watch some more of these clips. But
I think the funniest one of these, Buck is Trump
talking about the fact that he decided to give the
(09:24):
speech in Green Bay, Wisconsin because they told him he
looked slimmer, skinnier in the garbage man outfit. This man
is a political and marketing genius, but he's also really funny.
Listen to this cut.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I got in the car and I'm driving over here,
and I have this still on and I come into
the arena and I say, where's my jacket? I want
to get out of this stake. And they said it
would be unbelievable if you could wear it on stage.
I said, and.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I said, no way.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I got twenty five thousand people standing outside.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I got all these people here.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
There's no way I'm wearing it on stage. They said, oh, okay, sir,
I said, get me my jacket. But if you did,
you know it actually makes you look thinner.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I said, turn.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
And they got me. I said, I want to wear
it on stage.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
When they said I look thinner, I said, in that.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Case, I'll wear it.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I said, fuck, we have never seen this was yesterday
Trump campaigning in the garbage outfit. We've never seen anybody,
I believe who has more fun on the campaign trail
than Trump. But his decision to get in a garbage
truck and do a press conference from there, CNN broke
(10:56):
into live programming to cover that. They were all trying
to put that the garbage comment didn't happen. Trump said, no,
I'm going to be as explicit as possible and make
this remain a story on the cycle for another full day.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Well, it's amazing because he's continued to do the thing
that his opponents in the media recognize after twenty sixteen
they have to avoid doing, which is to cover him
when they don't want to right coverage of him that
is negative. Sure, but remember in twenty sixteen, CNN covered
all of his rallies because they thought it was hilarious,
laughing at him, not with him, and that it was
(11:33):
great ratings for them. So it was like it was
like watching a you know, a clown show for the
CNN audience. Well it turned out it wasn't so funny
when election Day happened. And this time around, I think
there are a lot of ways in which they don't
want to cover Trump, but he'd creates such a spectacle
in such a draw that they will break into him
in situations like this and then try to explain to
(11:54):
everybody how the funny thing that they saw wasn't actually funny,
or the lighthearted moment and the happy crowd around Trump
is actually a bunch of Nazis, you know they but
they still have to talk about it, they still have
to cover it. Meanwhile, what is the most memorable thing
from the Kamala Harris campaign and the few months that
this has been going on, and the billion dollars of
(12:15):
media that they have bought in a ninety day period,
what is the most memorable thing. I don't think she's
done anything to show anyone that there's anything particularly unique
or interesting about Kamala Harris as a politician and as
a leader.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't think she's had really buck I was. I
was thinking about that this morning, a legitimately good day
since the debate. I mean, I think she was better
than most people expected. What was that like September tenth,
It's now been virtually two months ago. I was trying
to think of a week where she's grabbed control of
the narrative cycle that has been really good for her.
(12:55):
It really hasn't happened. And she got a little bit
of a bump after the debate because I think some
of the Kamala supporters were energized by that, But basically
every week since then, she has gotten weaker and Trump
has completely taken control of the entire narrative cycle for
the past couple of months, and I think it's really accelerated.
(13:15):
To be fair, if we go back and look at
this and again five days from now, we'll know for sure,
but it feels like to me, bucket really accelerated with
Jade Vance's performance and the vice presidential debate. I feel
like that's kind of the point where it got dialed
to a different degree.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
And we haven't even talked about it yet. But Jadi
Vance was just on Rogan and the Rogan episode is out,
which when you're done listening to Clay and buck of
course if you feel like listen to by all means.
But notice that Donald Trump sits down with Joe Rogan
has time for him, no problem, Jeddi Van sits down
with him, no problem. Kamala wanted Rogan to go to
(13:49):
her and only do an hour, And you sit there,
you say to yourself, if you're Konala Harris, you should
want all the exposure to that audience you can possibly Again,
we all know why she doesn't. It's because the more
people know about her, the less they want to vote
for her. And this is obvious. That's why I think
there's such a tone of like the desperate ex girlfriend
(14:13):
over at MSNBC, of like you know, if you don't
if you don't return my phone calls, I'm going to
leave you, and it's like, well, I've already broken up
with you. Yeah, you're not making any sense. You're being
a little crazy. MSNBC is trying to convince its audience
that Kamala Harris is a good candidate and a particularly
strong leader, and they recognize that it's not taking No
(14:34):
one believes this, and this has been clear for a while.
A lot of Democrats will just vote Democrat because that's
what they do. But if you're talking about a swing voter,
I can't imagine. I would love to just maybe we'll
have some of them call in, like, what is the
mindset of a swing voter. We've got them listening right now,
a swing voter who is still thinking, I'm between Kamala
and Trumpet? What else?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
What question?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
If you're listening to us right now and you have
not decided how to vote eight hundred and two two
two eight A two, I'm genuinely curious if there's anybody
out there listening to us that truly doesn't know how
they're gonna vote.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
If you're thinking about getting a new firearm, perhaps your
first firearm, or like me, you're gonna be adding to

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Mark Cuban has stepped in it, my friends, A lot
of people unhappy with his note.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No strong like independent woman whatever support No Donald.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Said basically, there are no strong intelligent women they are Yeah.
Even worse, no strong intelligent women work with Donald Trump.
He's not surrounded by them at all.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Here is elist Stephonic speaking about that. Listen to it.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Just one day after Joe Biden sneered two hundred and
fifty million Americans as garbage. Now, Mark Cuban, Kamala Harris's
top ally says no strong and intelligent women support Trump.
It's a disgrace, and Kamala Harris stays silent. She must
be defeated in five days to save America. I'm proud
(17:08):
to be the highest ranking woman in the United States Congress.
When I ran, i was the youngest woman ever elected.
I'm the most senior woman on the House Armed Services Committee,
the House Intelligence Committee, and I proudly am voting and
endorse President Trump. Save America in five days Vote Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
They're pretty strong. There are a lot of women putting
out these statements buck all over the place, and I
think it's really just unbelievable that their closing argument would be, Hey,
if you're voting for Trump, your garbage, and there are
no strong, intelligent women that are voting basically for Trump
(17:48):
at all.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, I'm amazed at Mark Cubans very dumb comments, which
maybe I shouldn't be. You know, there's a Wall Street
veteran who's made a bold announcement as it relates to
the following day, Friday, November eighth. He's up to speed
and informed in ways that so many people are, and
that's why he wants to bring you these insights. This
(18:12):
is a guy with sizeable Wall Street experience. He thinks
November eighth will open the biggest rapid fire money making
opportunity of his fifty year career. In short, a disconnect
in the stock market has opened a way to spot

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Slee, Travis, and buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Oh, several
callers out there say they are undecided. Yeah, there's a
talk that they're still undecided voters between now and Tuesday.
Crazy for me to believe, but three of them have
(19:14):
called in. Uh, Jimmy and Rogersville, Tennessee. How did you
vote in the past and why are you undecided right now?
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Well, Republican in the past. I didn't get what the
question was when I called in first. But anyway, I
just want to let you guys in on some breaking news.
All right. Uh uh you noticed where they reported this
week that there's less democratic early voting in Pennsylvania than normal.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yes, the reason is.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
There's less dead voter shutting up this.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Time, right, Thank you Jimmy for the call. I do
think the argument that suddenly seven hundred thousand people who
voted absentee or mail in twenty twenty are going to
show up in person on Tuesday is highly unlikely, which
(20:14):
is why I'm optimistic Trump is going to win Pennsylvania.
That's based on the data that is out there right now,
Matt in Orange, California. Why are you undecided? How have
you voted in the past.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Hick Queen buck in the past. Its informed, but I
didn't also have four years of listening to you guys
to prepare me. But I'm leaning towards Trump. But one
of my concerns is a medic and a medical unit
in the US. I'm a reserve, and my fears that
you know, Trump is elected, that not only when we
(20:47):
the powers that be, might encourage some type of economic
downturn or catastrophe that might be sort of a reckoning
on all of our trying to promote American prosperity, but
also that we might get pulled into some type of
war war with Iran. It might end up leaving me deployed.
I'm a twenty nine year old father too, and I
(21:08):
don't want to, you know, have to spend any more
time away from my kids than I have to.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So can I ask you a question here about this?
I appreciate you you calling in Trump is I think
we can agree, and this is I'm gonna try to
keep this on the factual right because I could just
tell you know what I think, you know what Clay
thinks about the choice you're making here. Trump is the
only president that I can think of, certainly in my
adult lifetime who started no new wars. When you think
(21:35):
about the risk of a war that would occur, why
doesn't that Why isn't that a determining factor? I guess
the history of Trump's first term when you're concerned about
an expansion of war. I mean to me, if you
look at even for example, the Obama administration, whether it
was Livy Asyria, more engagements or more troops deployed in
(22:00):
Afghanistan than ever before the war machine was alive and
well under Democrats, what what is the you think that
Kamala Harris is more likely to keep us out of war?
That that's the part of it that I can't see.
So help me, help me understand this.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Well, I do see a lot of value and in
Trump's track record, I really appreciate that, and I think
that definitely speaks for itself. I think that, you know,
I'm hopeful and I expect Trump to win, and I
hope that that he does indeed follow through on minimizing
these you know, the world, the world on fire, these wars,
(22:35):
and uh, this my fear that maybe some of the conflicts,
you know, whether or not they start, whether or not
be participate, might not be necessarily one hundred percent up
to him, and and I hope that I hope that
it is. I hope he can do what he can
to fight for us, because it's clear that he is
uh the anti war president, And while in that way,
I just don't want to be. I don't want my
(22:56):
kids to know that I voted for something that ended
up in me to have to be participating in some.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
How old are your kids?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
My kids are two and six.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
What are they going to be for Halloween?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
How you know? We actually are gonna sit this one
out this year. We have a fall festival. But my
wife is I had to change your heart about Halloween
in the past two years. So we're going to be
enjoying a nice party, all the you know, same festivities,
tons of candy, but not as attracted to the idea
(23:33):
of all the scary and the demonic looking things that
we see out there. So I know you guys clearly
are excited, but we are too, just going to celebrate
in our own way this year.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Well, thanks for the call, Good luck to your kids.
Thanks for the service, and I think Trump is most
likely to keep you from ever having to deploy and
go away from those young kids, which I can certainly
understand that being a primary decision maker for you for sure.
Donald and Kentucky Buck says he's undecided. Started listening to
(24:04):
us in the last few weeks and now is leaning Trump.
Why did you decide to start listening to us, Donald.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Well, first of all, I want to thank the last
caller for a service to our country. My father is
in the service, all my uncles. Unfortunately I wasn't able
to serve, but I do appreciate what he's doing for
our country. My main reason is because of the fact
that as I start, I say, I've been a registered
Democrat my whole life. I've never voted a straight ticket.
But I but I just the media isn't telling us
(24:31):
things about Vice President Harris that I'm starting to learn
listening to you guys. It's not that I'm learning a
lot more about Donald Trump. Although Kuda is foring for
fort for standing up for his supporters. I think that's
a big deal. But man, I just you know, I
just I'm starting to listen to you guys, and when
you guys say say stuff. I don't take it to heart.
(24:52):
I'm just going to beat up front of you. I'm
writing it down, I'm researching it myself, and I'm finding
out that there's just so much about her that we
are not being told, and not so much things she does,
the things she doesn't do, and it scares me. And
my wife is still she's still looking at it as
a bright future Democrat deal, but I I just I'm scared.
(25:13):
We have children and grandchildren, and I travel a lot.
As a matter of fact, I'm in Pennsylvania right now
for my for my work, and and I just I
travel a lot, and I'm listening to more and more people.
I used to just not listen. I used to consider
anything the right said rhetoric and I've been wrong. And
and the more I listen to you and I listen
(25:33):
to other people and I compare it to other to
left left leaning media, the more I realized I've just
been lied to, and I've been I've just been abused
for so many years, and I'm angry about it. I'm angry.
And I've never been in a position before where I
where I was voting to not vote for somebody, but
(25:55):
I think I'm gonna wind up in a position where
I'm gonna be voting to not vote for Vice President US,
and we'll hate you.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I think that's the right decision. So if that makes
you feel better, at least you're getting to the right answer.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I do think, Buck, there are a lot of people
out there, and I appreciate any of you that are
new listeners to this program. Certainly Rush built a huge audience,
but I think there is a new generation of people
out there that has this sense, Buck, that they're not
getting the full story. And I like that he said
he writes stuff down. I mean, go look it up.
You should never agree one hundred percent. I believe with
(26:29):
anybody that you listened to in media at all, we
really try to get all of our facts right. And
I know I speak for both of us when I
say if we get a factor wrong, we really kind
of feel ill. On the show. You might not agree
with an opinion, but an opinion is only as good
as the factual foundation upon which it is based. So
we really try to base our opinions on solid fact
(26:50):
and you guys can go look them up. I mean,
I think that's that's good. I like to hear that
people are, you know, engaging with ideas and arguments in
an intellectual way and find to weigh them.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I think that's what an intelligent voter should do. Ricky
in tennessee what you got for us? Ricky, we asked
for undecided callers. By the way, I appreciate all of
you weighing in.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Yes. So yeah, I have always leaned Republican. I have
been undecided though because I have three girls at home
and so this election cycle. I've never really been a big,
you know, political person. So what I did was I said, Okay,
I'm not just gonna throw under the bus. Let me see,
you know, right, let me see what she stands for.
(27:32):
Obviously I didn't care for the last administration because you know,
I can't buy home, I can't for groceries, I can't
pay for my gas. So I, you know, I was like, okay, well,
let's see what she's got to say. And she started
out it sounded great, I'm gonna change, you know, we're
gonna do this, and we're gonna do that. But then
as as I started to listen and pay attention, she
(27:53):
starts to talk about, Okay, well she gonna ask some
of you, what would she do different? What would she change?
And she's literally just said I would not change a thing.
And from that moment on, I started to push back
towards Trump. Now I appreciated the Trump administration before, but
I just I never thought he had the charisma and
(28:13):
the knowledge to carry us as president, mainly because I
believe the media at that point. I do not now
because once that was like the last caller. Once you
start researching, once you start listening, looking up the Kamalophiles
and looking up Project twenty twenty five and seeing what
it actually says, it's what the media tells us is
absolutely not true. And so I was undecided. But you know,
(28:38):
now I have a strong foundation, and I work for
the grocery industry. And one of the things that she's
talked about is the issue with you know, groceries and
gas and you know.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Well she says, she says price gouging. Right, So why
don't why don't you just tell your entire supply chain
that you want to give everybody a twenty percent discount
on groceries. I feel like your grocery would shut down
pretty quickly.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Absolutely, And I'm our company is kind of an example
of what happens when you give tax breaks to corporations.
So during COVID, obviously you know, the grocery industry boomed,
Our stock is trippled. The last three years, we've opened
I think twenty new stores and we've hired five thousand people.
And it's it's proof my job, the job I have
(29:25):
now is a product of that extra income being influxed
into our company. So it's proof that the decisions and
the policies that Trump was setting forth works. And so
that's why I have now pushed towards the Trump administration.
But I was undecided, and I still you know, I
wanted to give her a chance. I wanted to honestly
hear what she had to say. But she's not said
(29:45):
anything of value. It's all just Trump's the fascist and
he loves Hitler, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You're also remember, coming to the right conclusion is coming
to the right conclusion. So we appreciate you, sir, thank
you for your thoughtful and out, you know, thoughtful lane
out of your whole process. I would just say, Clay,
you know, people shouldn't be hard on themselves also when
it comes to finding out that they were misled by
the media. The media is not supposed to lie to
(30:13):
you all the time. Yeah, they're not supposed to do that. Actually,
and we all grew up and now you know, you
and I work in this business. I've been doing this
for a while and I was the CIA before, so
I know about people lying. And you know, the intelligence
business is basically one of deception, so it's not surprising
(30:33):
and people think things that are not true. You see
Bill Ackman admitted this. I was shocked. Bill Ackman is
a billionaire hedge fund guy, super smart now, a Trumper
by the way, and a Democrat his whole life. He's like, look,
I'm embarrassed to say this, but until recently, I believe
that Trump said that the white supremacists with the tiki
torches in Charlottesville were very fine people. This is a
(30:58):
billionaire hedge fund manager with more access and education, et
cetera than anybody could ever imagine on the planet. Basically, Okay,
he's in the one one thousandth of one percent in
terms of wealth access and he was totally swindled, totally
fooled by the narrative.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I think that's a great point, and I think all
of our callers. I really appreciate you calling in when
we asked for undecided people out there. You have to
do your own research in many ways to recognize what
the truth is. And to your point, Buck, even a
guy like Bill Ackman, super smart, highly successful, but also
very busy trying to be elite at what he does
(31:39):
for a living, he just accepted at face value that
what he was told by the media.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
And I think a lot of people still Elon. Elon
was a Democrat, Elon was a guy who will been
Now he's like, look, I just used to think the
New York Times is reporting facts. I was busy building
amazing companies and didn't you know, dig too deep into this.
And he's now leading the charge alongside Trump with we
got to throw out this whole system of constant propaganda
and lies, right, I mean, yes, some of the smartest
(32:06):
people in the world have been fooled by. This is
what I'm trying to say. So no one should ever
feel like, oh, you know, I'm a trump Er. Now,
why didn't I understand before? Because it's really hard because
they're lying to you all the time. This is like,
why do people fall for financial frauds? Because the guys
are really slick with how they promise you things that's right,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
So I don't and by I also don't think announcing
that you're willing to change your mind as a sign
of weakness if the facts change and the data on
the ground. I mean, Elon voted for Joe Biden. Buck
Elon voted for Biden in twenty twenty, and now he's
campaigning aggressively for Trump. He's seen the light. I didn't
(32:44):
vote for Trump in sixteen.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I voted libertarian. I know I'm a moron, but.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
In twenty I was as hardcore for Trump as I
could be after seeing him in office in what he did.
And now I mean, I'm traveling to Pennsylvania try to
help rally voters in the final weekend, spending a lot
of my own money to get up there and help
Dave McCormick get across the finish line as well as Trump,
because that's how important I think it is. And to
his credit, Elon's doing it, Bill Ackman's doing it, Tulsea
(33:12):
Gabber is doing it. There's a whole lot of people
that have joined what I would call the good guys
since twenty twenty even I think COVID opened a lot
of eyes, and I think it basically destroyed any legitimacy
that's left in the media. But let's have some more fun.
We'll close out Halloween prize picks. I want to give
you a prize picks Halloween winning quad here. All right,
(33:35):
So tonight the Houston Texans are playing in New York
against the Jets. That is Thursday Night football. Let me
pull up my phone and make sure I didn't screw
this up because I've been focused so much on the
election that I'm not an expert necessarily on every night. Yes,
Texans are on the road in New York tonight. Many
of you are going to be out trick or treating,
(33:56):
but you can go ahead and get your picks in
and we can win ten to one. I'm taking CJ.
Stroud less than two hundred and twenty five and a
half passing yards, Aaron Rodgers less than two hundred and
thirty six and a half passing yards. I think this
is gonna be a low scoring defensive battle. I am, however,
taking Davonte Adams, new wide receiver for the Jets, more
(34:18):
than fifty nine and a half yards receiving and then
Joe Mixon running back for the Texans less than eighty
six and a half rushing yards. So I'm going less
for CJ. Stroud and Aaron Rodgers on passing. I'm going
less for Joe Mixon on running, and more for Devonte Adams.
If I'm right on these, you will get a ten
(34:38):
to one payout Prizepicks dot Com my Name Clay. First
time you play, you get fifty bucks. No matter what
that's Pricepicks dot Com my Name Clay.

They do a lot of it with the Sunday Hang
Join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up in
the Klay and Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Closing up shop here on Clay and Buck. It is

and his madness. By the way, I'll be in Savannah,
Joja tomorrow a day battle ground birthdays tomorrow, so battleground
State of Georgia. I'll be there with all the Sextons,

of a half Beard and some poofy on Kemptere and
you're like, that might be Buck Sexton on the streets
of Savannah. It is, Come and say hi, I'll probably
be with my dad, mom and brothers and sister. So
we're gonna be taking Savannah by storm, looking forward to it.
Tonight is Halloween there, so that'll be interesting. And yeah,
(35:44):
so I'm gonna become with everybody from Savannah tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh man, are you in Savannah tonight? Oh yeah, Oh
I bet Savannah on Halloween is pretty awesome. You got
to get out the big city for like haunted history
tours and stuff. Yeah, yeah, we might, We might you
tag along in one of those. You lived in DC,
Georgetown is one of the most fun places in America
on Halloween.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
The amount of.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Part I always think of Georgetown as its own city.
Georgetown's the best part of DC by far in my opinion,
and the Halloween there is is awesome.

your votes in, have fun with the kids, grandkids, and yourselves,
and we look forward to being back with you tomorrow.

makes sense. That's Trump. We're going to keep fighting for
in five days. Get the votes in now,
