Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome and everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
kicks off right now, and the big stories we have
for you. First off, I'm here in South Florida. The
hurricane Hurricane Milton that is approaching could be one of
the most devastating hurricanes to make landfall in decades. It

(00:25):
is a frightening storm even for people who have been
through many hurricanes. Many of my fellow Floridians and those
who have been here many many years longer than me
are taking the approach that this is the big one
in a sense. Will give you the latest on that.
It comes while we still are watching as a lot

(00:47):
of volunteers, a lot of citizen saving is going on
here or saving by citizens everyday, Americans, former military in
the aftermath of Helene. So we're still digging out of
one and everyone's bracing here for impact on another. We'll
bring you the latest on that. We've also got protests

(01:13):
in New York City.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
I don't even know. I'm not even sure you can
call it.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
A protest, Clay, I mean, you have these on the
anniversary of October seventh, and I have friends in New
York that were sending me video and photos from the
streets of this people marching and banging drums, literally banging
drums over Palestine and the Palestinians and Hamas on the
anniversary of October seventh. So the Democrats are are some

(01:38):
of them are unwell. You can see. It's a polite
way of saying it. There's something very wrong with these people.
But I think that that is playing directly into some
of the numbers that we've seen Clay in Michigan right
now and what's gone on here. The analysis that Kamala
bailed on Shapiro in the hopes as VP, in the

(02:01):
hopes of being able to eke out Michigan is looking
increasingly like it's not just a analysis but really a consensus
or close to an established fact. We will dive into
that momentarily. But Clay the biggest thing in the political
world for me right now. New York Times here poll

(02:23):
finds Harris rising as she challenges Trump on change. I mean,
they are scrambling, that was the headline. They are scrambling
to make it seem at this point like it's still
a close race that Kamala can win. It's going to
be close. In the aggregate numbers no matter what. But
I mean, if you look at the polls in the

(02:44):
various wing states, and we know that this is a
real concern for Democrats, we know that there is a
shift toward quiet panic for at least the Democrats who know.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Because of the.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Lieu of interviews suddenly that Kamala has done and Clay
and I may we may have to uh, we may
have to argue on this one a little bit. I
don't know which one is the worst one or which
SoundBite is the worst SoundBite, because it's there's a lot
of contenders. Right, there's a lot that is up there.
She has been on Howard Stern call her daddy. She
did the view today, right, she did the view. I

(03:21):
never she's on the view literally in the last now
or yeah, yeah, so so she's on the view. I
think she might still be on the view. So she's
doing all these interviews, But the sixth, for me, the sixty.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Minutes interview has the worst stuff. Do we have consc
I agree with you. I think we should start with
sixty minutes. And there are a ton of clips from
sixty minutes, and I want to make sure that I mean,
first of all, she is lighting herself on fire in
all of these interviews. So what do you like the best?

(03:53):
I'll let you make deal her choice here? She did
you tell us what the gun thing? I was going
to ask Shell.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
We'll get to that's a little more fun because I
have some there's some things about that that I want
to get to.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
For me.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
The the issue that they cannot get around is the
border and the ten million migrants. So ten million people
have come into this country in four years. This is
this is larger than most states, or at least close
to most states. I mean, how many states have a
population of ten million people. There's a you know, it's
I don't know a handful that there's not very many,
not that many. This is an enormous amount of people.

(04:29):
And sixty minutes, Bill Whittaker decided to do the you know,
the random act of journalism here and ask her and
press her on a question. You just I can't do it,
justice Klay and I will dive into it. You need
that this is cut fourteen. You need to hear the
explanation on immigration from the person that Democrats say should

(04:50):
be the next president.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Play it was it a mistake to loosen the immigration
policies as much as you did.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
It's a long standing pri and solutions are at hand,
and from day one, literally we have been offering solutions.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
What I was asking was, was it a mistake to
kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
I think the policies that we have been proposing are
about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay, but the numbers did quadruple.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
And the numbers today because of what we have done,
we have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half.
We have cut the flow of sentinel by half. But
we need Congress to be able to act to actually
fix the problem.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Okay, Buck, this is to me a Trump campaign ad,
and you mentioned it, but I just want to say this,
this is what journalists should be doing. I want to
give credit to Bill Whitaker. I don't know a lot
about his history on sixty minutes. I'm gonna be honest
with you, I never watched sixty minutes. I think the
only reason anybody watches sixty minutes, to be honest, by

(06:06):
and large, is because they put it on right after
the NFL. Nobody ever talks about the ratings and why
they're so high. It's because if you put on Cookie
Monster just eating cookies on the screen right after the NFL,
a lot of people leave the television on and so
the ratings would be massively high. But this is the
first time that I've seen a journalist actually pushed back

(06:30):
and force Kamala to justify things. And even her answer, Buck,
she said they've cut it by half. That's actually still
a doubling even the best case scenario for what she's done.
He could have pushed harder, Buck and said, wait a minute,
if you had the ability to fix it, why did
you change all the policies everything else. But this is

(06:51):
the best example straightforward crossings of quadrupled. You have to
own this and Kamala cannot answer it. And now let
me give you an example of how much this is spreading.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Buck.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
I shared this last night on my Twitter account. It
has been viewed six million times just from my Twitter account,
eighty thousand likes, twenty thousand retweets. This thing has gone megaviral,
not just from me, there's a lot of other people
that have shared it. But I think it's cutting through

(07:25):
the noise in a big way. And this is evidence,
and we're going to play a lot of other cuts.
Why they tried to hire Kamala. They've panicked. They now
know that they need to change the trajectory. And this
is why I said, this is like a running team
that's suddenly trying to throw the football. Things are going
to get worse.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, they've had to train strategy in the final weeks
of an election, which there is no person Democrats strategist
or otherwise who could try to explain to you that
that isn't an indicator of it's not going as they want.
If your strategy is working, you stay with it. This
is true in warfare, it is true in sports, it

(08:04):
is true in politics, it's.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
True in life.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Right Like, if you're making good decisions in life, you
just keep doing them.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
You don't radically alter your life trajectory. So why the change.
Why have they decided? Well because the numbers aren't adding
up for them in the way that they want them to.
And look, I'll just tell you play.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
For me.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
This is a little bit like Kamala is the head
firefighter and the you know, and she's standing there talking
to a homeowner and because she did nothing, the house
completely burned down and the garage is still on fire.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay, because that's the border.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
There's still a lot of people coming across, as you
pointed out, double what it was under Trump. The garage
is on fire now, and she's saying, excuse me, excuse me,
look at the progress we've made sure your house burned down,
but only the garage is on fire now. This does
not work. This is not going to get her to
the place politically she wants to go and the other

(09:04):
part of this, and they're not even hammering her on this,
and they could. First of all, her whole approach to
everything is we're talking about solutions, and solutions are about
solving things with a solution. I mean, you can't make
this stuff up. She is straight out of the show Vep.
I've only seen a few episodes, but it's true. And Clay,

(09:25):
they chose to change and to tout and to brag
about the changes. She says, from day one, we've been
trying to solve this. They kicked open the doors, they
decided to get rid of the Trump policies.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
They bragged about it. You can find all this online.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
The first thing Biden tried to do was all deportations
for one hundred days. Does everybody remember this. They rang
the dinner bell for the whole world to come here
for a free meal, and they were bragging about it.
And now it's a political disaster. And Kama turns around
and says, we've got solutions they don't have.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
First of all, click what is the solution? What is
the solution?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
A border bill that would have made it so you
have five thousand or eight thousand a day coming across
the league.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
That's a huge number. The whole thing is a mess.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Panic and I mean, I don't even know how else
to call it it, but other than panic. And we've
got so many clips from her, honestly, I can barely
keep track. Let me say this before as we continue
to play all these Kamal eclips. Trump not doing sixty minutes, brilliant,

(10:41):
brilliant not to do sixty minutes. He got a little
bit of an attack over it. I would if I
were giving advice to the Trump team the rest of
the way, I wouldn't talk to the quote unquote mainstream media, CNN, MSNBC,
Washington Post, New York Times, CBS, NBC, ABC, They're all
gonna try to sink him.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
You know, they're gonna be unfair.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Trump did that sit down with Leslie Stall right before
the twenty twenty election where he asked her why they
weren't covering the Hunter Biden laptop and she claimed it
was all Russian dis info. They would have tried to
sandbag Trump, and I think it was smart. Get out
of the way. Let Kamala Harris light herself on fire.
Remember Buck when Trump stayed oddly for him, quiet in

(11:28):
the aftermath of June twenty seventh, when Biden was a
disaster in the debate, and kind of let Biden just burn.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I really think over.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
The next twenty seven to twenty six days between now
and the election, Trump can just focus on his argument.
Don't even get drug into Kamala because Kamala is on fire.
Make your argument, but keep distance. Does that make sense
to you? We were talking strategy before attributed to Napoleon.
Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake, and

(11:59):
the Democrats are making mistakes all over the place. It
was now I would say it's a mistake to try
to hide a Canada from the public, except what choice
did they have? The real mistake and I'm not trying
to relitigate any stake bets here Okay, maybe the real
mistake was the delusion that they were going to be

(12:20):
able to run Biden again, which was their I mean,
that was what they were doing. Obviously Biden was there
was no primary he was the guy. So it's really
like cascading failure, you know what I mean, bad decision
bad like my golf game, Buck, It's like my golf
game I'm playing on Tuesday. Anybody who golf knows the feeling.
You hit one bad shot, you should just take your punishment,

(12:41):
Just chip it back in the fairway. What do you
often do? Play hero ball and you try to hit
a second shot that's way better than the first shot
to make up for the first shot, and you're often
in worse shape. Again, it defines my golf game. Take
your medicine, put yourself back in the fairway, recognize that
you're gonna bogie, and take the triple bogie off the scorecard.
She's going for triple bogie and a lot of times, Buck,

(13:04):
you know what you do when you're walking on the
golf course and you get the triple bogie, you just say, well,
what's the max score you can get? Like I've got
buddies Like, well, nobody gets worse than a ten. You know,
we're not gonna go with Quintumple bogee on the par
five you had just taken eight. Just take a nine.
You were close enough. They're in trouble and the panic
is setting in, and you know what the headline is.

(13:25):
I'll give you credit on this since you had to
buy the stake bet headline. Wall Street Journal went up
late last night. I don't know if you saw this.
Harris Allies fear she isn't breaking through with working class
in crucial blue Wall states.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
That's the Midwest.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Harris Allies want sharper economic message, more campaign visits. The
panic is setting in, and I think buck the trajectory
we were on about two weeks. They're gonna start to
savage her publicly, maybe even faster, even before the election.
It's here because people are gonna run from her. Yeah,
after the election, for sure. But you think that's interesting,

(14:05):
I'm not sure. I se people are going to start
to distance themselves from her and try to avoid responsibility
for what's coming.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Here's what I what I could see. You might start
to have unnamed white house.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
That's what I mean. That's what I mean. That's running
from her. Like maybe not under their own name, but like.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
The story is not gonna be like headline of the
New York Times, but there will be some stories in Politico. Oh,
they will start to seed the ideological battlefield here with basically,
you guys shouldn't have bailed on Biden. You guys shouldn't
have bailed on Biden. I know, we got a long
way to go. Anything can happen. We'll look at the numbers,
but we got a team. I'm telling you we have

(14:46):
so many Kama Kamal eclipse and they are both hilarious
and shocking at the same time. The fact that Democrats
have run this person as the nominee is there's a
reason why they we'll get into Wallace. It's it's stunning.
But you know, some people believe there's no such thing
as a coincidence. The people at Stansbury Research, which puts
out incredible financial research products for anybody who wants insights

(15:10):
into the market, they see a pattern, a system breakdown,
if you will, and some institutions that we rely on
every day. This includes nine to one one call centers,
airplane maintenance issues, and train accidents in larger than normal
numbers Stansbury Research recently produced an insightful report. It's about
how so called accidents are happening across America and why.
Learn why so many big accidents are now taking place

(15:32):
in America and exactly where and when the next big
accident is most likely to occur. I've known Stansbury for
over a decade. I've worked on and off with them,
been to their events. They have brilliant people who are
not just coming up with these narratives. They're compiling the
numbers and the data about the markets and it all
comes together. Go online to America disaster dot com for

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Welcome in second hour. Clay and Buck kicks off. Now
we are joined by Senator Rick Scott of Florida. The
senators here in my home state. Senator Scott, I know
you just left Sarasota. You are en route to Fort
Myers Hurricane Milton is bearing down and it is a
monster from what we can all see on the radar

(16:44):
and all the coverage of it. What do people need
to know right now and what kind of preparations are
being made to deal with this?

Speaker 6 (16:55):
Well, the I've been talking, I'm getting constant updates for
the National Hurricane Center, and that's a great group of
people who do a great job. You know, you sort
of have to think about this two ways. One, if
you're along the coast, if you're Tampa, so you know,
to probably Naples, you're going to get a pretty big
storm surge. And if you get six feet of storm surge,

(17:17):
they're not going to survive. If you get that in
your house, we're talking about fifteen feet. We're talking about
possibly fifteen feet in Tampa, Sarasota, even down to Fort
Myers where they've had you know, they had Ian two
years ago, they had Debbie what a few months two
months ago, and now they've had Leen last week. So

(17:42):
these barrier islands are so low lying you just got
to get off of them. So I tell the people,
we can't make you stay alive if you go and dry,
if you go stay on these bear islands, and you
get ten sot of storm surge and you're in one
story house, you're dead. If you get ten for the
storm search and you've got a crummy house that collapses,

(18:05):
you're dead. You're dead. We can't you can't be rebuilding anything.
Your family will never talk to you again until you
get to heaven. So get out. And here's the other
thing people do. They wait and say, well, i'll see
how bad it is. Well, once it's bad, the roads
are gonna be flooded, they're gonna be power lines down
you can't need, and there's gonna be tornadoes. You can't

(18:26):
get going. Then if you're inland a little bit okay,
is that you're fine. You're not in the evacuation zone.
You have to understand, we are gonna lose power. I
just got off the phone with Duke. We're gonna we're
gonna lose power. We're going to have flooding. We're gonna
have down power lines, which is dangerous. We're gonna have
trees falling because we're saturated. So you're gonna have to

(18:47):
be careful. You're gonna have to have seven days of water,
seven days of food, have your pet food, have your medicine,
and because you just have to assume that one's open
or for this you might not get there because the
roads are all blocks. Then if you go in little
for farther, let's say you get to Polk County or
you get to Orlando, well, you might have hurricane force winds.

(19:07):
You're probably gonna have flooding. They're probably gonna have down power,
so you could eventually end up with no power, no water,
and no sewer. And so you just have to listen
to everybody locally. They're professionals as sheriffs, our emergingt management team. Listen.
If they say get out of town, then you do

(19:28):
it today. You don't do it? Oh, I think I'll
wait until tomorrow MORNINGE one, you have no idea. If
you don't have a full tank of gas, we're you
gonna go. And I think we might be out of gas.
So I'm just telling everybody take it seriously now, don't
don't wait. And if you go along the Bear Island,
they've told you you have to get out. I live

(19:49):
in Naples. We had to be out of our house
by six am. So we've done everything we could. We
put furniture up, we put sandbags, all over, every possible
opening in the house. We're hoping for the best. Now
hopefully it won't be as bad as Tampa. But that's
what everybody's going to think. Get the heck out. If
they told you get out and get out. And if
you have friends that are close to the water, call them,

(20:12):
bug them. You have family members, if you love them,
bug the living daylight found. I'm going to get out
of Dodge. So the first thing, my first response is
everybody needs to see a live Think about this. In Herba,
we got in twice seventeen bigger than the state. Nobody died.
Why because we got them to evacuate. In two years ago,
one hundred and fifty plus people died. Just two weeks

(20:35):
ago with Helene, twenty five people died. We don't need
to have anybody dying. We know this is happening. It's happening.
It's gonna have thirst state, it's gonna happen. It's not it.
Maybe it's gonna hit now might I hit Tampa? My
head just north mind head just said sounds it's probably
not gonna be much further than that. So get the
hell out of Dodge. I want you to stay alive.

(20:55):
Don't dumb choose and put yourself in arms way and
in law enforcement and first responders, they can't come get
you when it's sixty mile an hour wind. We got
shelters open that's close to you. You can go to a
disaster sort of disaster dot org. There's shelters open, they're safe,
you can take your pets. Some of them are medically dependent.
I've got I just was in Sarrisota. They've got thirteen

(21:18):
shelters open to medically dependent. They're all you can take
your pets to all of them. So they've got food,
they've got water. So it might not be a fun thing,
but this and then people say, well, you know there's
traffic on I For. There is, by the way, there
always is, there is. But guess what. I'd rather you

(21:38):
be stuck in traffic on Eye For and you'll eventually
get where you need to go than die on anamarrhea.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Center.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
I think that's important that everybody should listen to. I
know you're not a meteoro meteorologist, that's not an easy
word to say, but Tampa hasn't really been hit by
a storm like this in one hundred years. For people
who have spent any time in Hillsborough County. For people
who have driven around in the Tampa area, there are
a ton of houses that are right up there on

(22:08):
the water, some of them older houses that have been
there and been safe for a long time. Based on
what you have seen of these forecasts, what could happen
to Tampa? For anyone listening in the Tampa area. And
we got big audience all over Florida, but we got
a big audience there in Tampa in particular. People might
not have experienced anything like this. What are you hearing about?

(22:29):
What could happen to Tampa? To just hammer home white
people need to be leaving.

Speaker 6 (22:33):
First off, let's look just just what happened to eastco Selene.
Davis Island had a lot of water, right and then
then if when this water comes in, and let's say
it's a fifteen so it's a fifteen foot of water,
and then you're gonna it looks like it's gonna hit
a high tide. It makes it, it makes it worse, so

(22:54):
and so you're gonna you're gonna get water way in
the steam Hatsie. In two weeks ago, eighteen foot of
storm water a half a mile in a friend of
mine's grocery store at seven foot a half a mile
in at seven foot water. Yeah, right, right, So then
so then let's say, oh, you say, well my house

(23:15):
is at twenty feet. That's all great, Great, maybe you
won't be flooded your house. Your street's gonna be footed,
the grocery stores are closed, the power lines are gonna
be down, you're gonna have downstreet lines, and those downstreet
lines down treets could hit your house and kill you.
And this all happens, and then people. Then the other
thing we got to do is people got to know

(23:37):
how do you use a generator? You don't put it
inside your house. You need to learn these things, and
you can't learn them at the last minute and say
I think, well, let me think, oh I think I'll
get on you on YouTube. Oh gosh, it's down right.
So you just you just have to say, go to
go to you can go to Ready dot God, we
get a plan, but you've got to listen. I mean,

(23:57):
your sheriffs, your first responders, they're telling you this stuff.
Just take it seriously because you know, who knows what's
going to exactly happen. So it's a little bit different,
but look at Ian. Two years ago. Ian was supposed
to hit Tampa, hit four More's Beach. We had a one
hundred and fifty people die because they didn't get off
of Santabo. They didn't get off of four Byer's Beach

(24:19):
and it was just devastated. So I so, but you know,
the net Hurricane Center there, every there, there, this is this.
You know the storm pappened. Aline was perfect right now
this who knows what will happen on this And so
it was weather. But the storm search is getting better
and better their information. And if you're to the south
of the storm, you're gonna get a lot of storm search.

(24:42):
I managed it. It's a big storm, a lot of wind.
So you just and then then if you're inland, let's
say you're fifty miles inland and then we get one
hundred mile an hour winds and you're in a manufacturing home. Okay, go,
I need to tell you Charlie County, that happened with Ian.
We had a whole bunch of manufacturer homes. This role
rolled over. So that's going to kill you.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
So I just, I mean, that's terrifying.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
We're speaking to Senator Senator Rick Scott Senator, can you
give us a sense of what are the what are
the actions that are being taken right now by state, local,
and federal authorities to try to just pre position resources,
assistance and aid and what does that piece You've made
very clear and I think very compelling presentation about why

(25:30):
it is people need to get out of the evacuation areas.
The mayor of Tampa last night on CNN said if
you stay in the evacuation area, you are going to die.
That is what you probably saw that, right, Yeah, that
is what she has said.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
Yeah, it's yeah, I think I think Jane Caster's I
mean she's right. I mean, you're fifty for the storm starts.
If you get ten let's say we're off a little bit.
But guess what we got eighteen eighteen through the storm,
which just think about that. That's two tall, I mean
to nine floors of pure water. And what they do

(26:04):
is the water comes in and breaks everything, that breaks
all your windows, right, and then it sucks everything out
when it goes out, including you, right, including everything else
that's not really heavy or tied down. So so the
you know, you just you you've you've you've got to listen.
So the and then after it happens, you know, we

(26:26):
got all these problems because there's no power. We and
third and IRMA. When I was governing seventeen, we we
had thirteen out thirteen million out of twenty two million
people without power. Right, So so it's in Tampa, it's
gonna come way up, right, it's gonna it's some of

(26:48):
these places that then build close to the water that
are not you know, way up. They're gonna get there.
They're gonna be inundated with water, and they're in the
and if if you stay, you know, you're just gone.
So I mean, you know, I'll tell you another story.
I was at stein Hatchie. I don't know if you
guys have been to Roy's. Royce is advancing Hatchey for

(27:11):
I don't know. Fifty years two story building right on
the river. Two weeks ago, the whole building's gone. It's gone,
the whole building, two story building, right on the water.
Eighteen foot storm search destroyed the entire building. It was crumbled, crumbled.
That's what happened. If you go to Mexico Beach back

(27:33):
in twenty eighteen, those houses, what they did was they
old wooden houses. They filled in the first sport. Well,
the water the pressure came in, crushed the hurt whole
first for the whole collab, whole building collapse. I remember
the day after I was down Mexico Beach. I remember
people come up and say, Hey, I can't find my mom. Yeah.

(27:53):
They found her five days later, washed up about five
blocks away because she said, oh, I've been through a
category you know, one or two or three before, so
I'm not going to evacuate. It's not generally the win now,
it's if you're close to the water. It's the water
that's going to kill you. It will it will, it
will kill you, period.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Senator Scott, First of all, I mean obviously, having been
the governor Florida, you know this situation very well and
you understand all the all the factors, and I think
it's important you know, we have we have stations. We
are are on wfl A Tampa, we have stations in
Fort Myers, we have stations in some of the evac
areas where people are listening right now. So you've made

(28:37):
it very clear that people need to evac and get
and get out of there. If anyone wants either additional
resources about EVAK pathways preparations for their home anything like that.
Where where do you recommend that people who are in
the path of this monster storm go if they have
any questions or need any help, you know, other than
you got to evacuate.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
Yes, Florida Disaster dot org has got really good information. Okay,
if they have any problems, you can get on my website.
It's Rick Scott, Rick Scott dot You can go to
Ready dot gov, but you can go to Public Florida Disaster.
The best you can get on ours, Rick Scott. That's
in the dot gov. They will direct you, but we
put a lot of information. But look all the shares,

(29:20):
all the first problems. They're ready, I mean they're getting ready.
They're going to preposition assets like Dukes is gonna have
unbelievable number of line workers coming down. They had eighteen
thousand line workers of our utilities did two weeks ago.
They'll have more this time. But it doesn't help you
save your life, all right, none of us that's going
to save your life. What's gonna save your life is

(29:42):
the decision you make right now. And you just I
can't I can't express this enough. You cannot wait much
longer because the wind is gonna start. It's gonna it's
slowed down a little bit. It could speed up, but
the wind's gonna start sometimes late tonight in the morning.
So what going to happen is you're going to start
having downpower lines. The storm surge is going to start tonight, right,

(30:06):
so you're going to start having a lot of water coming,
so we're gonna have flooding. So you just can't wait
that much longer, and then and then you don't know
what the ruds are gonna be.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Like Senator Scott appreciated, we're getting the word out and
we have people, like we said, we have coverage in
the whole state of Florida, and I'm a Floridian. Clay
is a part time Floridian. So our thoughts and prayers
with everybody involved here and we're getting the word out
as much as we can. And we could not agree
with you more. Thank you for bringing your expertise and
for your work on this to just try to keep

(30:37):
our fellow Floridians a fellow Americans, saye, thank.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
You all right, take care, Thanks what you guys are doing.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Look, several weeks ago when we introduced you to rapid radios.
We didn't realize how clear were you to everybody that
having these modern day walkie talkies on hand as part
of your preparedness plan is just essential. My family was
using them in the aftermath of Helene, and now I've
got my family in New York having them because you know,
you never know when power is going to go out,

(31:05):
there's going to be a hurricane, a major storm, something
that's going to happen. And it's also just really convenient
to have instant push to talk walkie talkie set up
for members of your family for your business. But with
Hurricane Helen and now Milton, rapid radios are clearly a
must have product for so many of you in this audience.
They operate on a nationwide LTE network and in fact,

(31:28):
Clay's wife, Laura and Tennessee was able to talk to
my family instantly, to my father in law in North
Carolina right after Helene because of their rapid radios, and
my father in law you heard them. He sent a
message to everybody. He said it was a crucial lifeline
for communication after the storm. Rapid radios are not your
average walkie talkies. They're pushed to talk with one button

(31:48):
allowing you to easily talk to your family all at
once wherever they are for a limited time. Go to
Rapid Radios dot com. You'll get up to sixty percent off,
free ups shipping from Michigan, plus a free protection bag.
Add Code Radio when you make your purchase and get
an extra five percent off again. My family has them
and has used them, and we have disasters bearing down
on Florida right now. Have this as part of your

(32:10):
protection and preparation plan for your family. Rapid Radios dot
com and use Code Radio for an extra five percent off.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
Patriots Radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Fuck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Welcome in, whoa rough start, sound like kamla. Welcome in
to our number three Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us as we are
dealing with a lot of different moving parts right now.
Hurricane Milton. If you heard us. In the second hour,
Senator Rick Scott of Florida came on and said, get

(33:01):
out while you can. This is potentially a devastating storm,
the likes of which Florida has not seen, particularly in
the Tampa area, in one hundred years. Get out while
you can. That story continues. Buck, you are in South Florida,
down in Miami. I saw that Tampa Airport I believe
is shutting down today. Orlando's airport is shutting down tomorrow.

(33:26):
Where exactly this is going to hit, as all of
you know who follow hurricanes, is unclear. There's a cone
of potential landing spots that narrows as it gets closer
to land, but there is a wide range. Fort Myers, Naples.
We've got a lot of you who listen there. Tampa,
we got a large number of you who listen there.
We got people all over the state of Florida, Orlando

(33:47):
and Miami certainly big audiences in those communities as well.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Listen to people.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
If you are in vicinity of water, this is going
to be a big storm surge. Even if you're a
mile or two back from land, you're in danger. And Buck,
I've talked about it. Tampa's beautiful. I've spent a decent
amount of time in that community over the years. But
if you have ever driven around in Tampa Bay, there
are a lot of fantastic old floor to homes because

(34:14):
there has not been a hurricane really hit devastatingly in
Tampa in basically one hundred years. No one has really
dealt with a massive storm surge here. Now, hopefully this
hurricane will weaken, maybe it will hit in an area
that is less populated, Maybe it will spare the utter
devastation that there has been concern as it pertains to

(34:36):
this particular storm. But don't risk it. Get out while
you can. You heard the Senator. We want you and
your families to be safe. Listen to everybody out there
giving you that advice. That is the number one thing
as we move through. Second major story. Kamala Harris, as
we sit here exactly four weeks from election day, is

(34:58):
on a media tour. Yesterday sixty minutes released what I
think it's fair to say was a disaster of an
interview for Kamala Harris. Buck you would, I think sign
off on Things could not have gone much worse for her.
She then went on The View live right before we
came on the air here, we have played you clips
from both of those. Both of them were unmitigated disasters.

(35:20):
She is now talking to Howard Stern. Howard Stern recently
said that he did not want anybody who votes for
Donald Trump to listen to his show anymore because they
are morons. So that might give you an indication of
what kind of aggressive questioning is coming there. She is
finishing off her day in New York City by going
on Stephen Colbert We Played for You audio yesterday, Kamala

(35:44):
attacked her On DeSantis for not taking her phone calls.
Today in the White House, President Biden said DeSantis is
doing a great job and that he has his private
phone number and they have been talking to prepare. DeSantis
went on with Fox Friends and Sean Hannity and said, hey,
I've worked well with Trump, I've worked well with Biden.

(36:05):
This is not political. Whoever gave Kamala Harris the advice
this is me talking, not DeSantis, to make this political,
I think is the same person who told her, Hey.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Let's go do this media tour.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
There is a slow panic setting in and Buck, I
wanted to hit you with this. If you're paying attention
to what's going on, don't pay necessarily attention to what
people say.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Pay attention to what they do.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
If Kamala Harris was doing great, they wouldn't have a
full sprint of media availability suddenly for her after doing
none of them for a very long time. But this
is the headline in the Wall Street Journal, my favorite
newspaper to read, and the headline right now is Buck
Kamala Harris struggling to break through with working class Democrats,

(36:57):
fear in crucial blue walls. Harris allies want sharper economic message,
more campaign visits. And there was something buried in this article, Buck,
that I wanted to hit you with, in particular because
I think it stands to what the Cook Political Report

(37:18):
did today, which, as they have said Eric Hovedy, who
is running for the Senate in Wisconsin, they moved that
from lean blues. He's running against Senator Tammy Baldwin. They
now say that is a toss up. And there is
an element in here that I want to read to you, Buck.
An internal poll done by Democrat Tammy Baldwin's Senate campaign

(37:43):
last week showed Harris down by three points in Wisconsin,
while Baldwin was up to according to a person familiar
with the poll. The person said much of the narrowing
is due to Republican strength with non college educated men.
Public polling has shown Harris with a slight lead in

(38:06):
the state. Here's another second. Harris hasn't matched President Biden's
support from organized labor or with high school educated blue
collar workers, which is why there is a panic setting
in in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Buck you hit on
this early on. But when you hear that Tammy Baldwin's

(38:29):
own internal polling has Trump up three woo, that is
a major alarm bell because if Kamala loses Wisconsin, she
can't win this election.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Basically, what is the not the pathway for the electoral college.
You know, there's ways you can change the map, so yes,
Kamala can win, but what is the undecided voter pathway
or demographic tranch anyway you can phrase it that Kamala

(39:00):
is going to be able to get to her side
to win in these very contested states. The early ballot
and early voting data out of Pennsylvania is very encouraging
two Republicans right now. It's not definitive, but it is
very encouraging. You know, I've I've had kind of a
quiet confidence about Trump's chances against Kamala all along Clay,

(39:24):
just because if Kamala Harris can beat Donald Trump. Anyone
can beat Donald Trump from the Democrat side, any Democrat
can win the presidency. If Kamala Harris can win Republican matter,
it means. It means that the Democrat machine has become
so efficient and powerful that even a once in a
generation political talent like Donald Trump would be not enough.

(39:45):
So the stakes are very high in that sense, not
just for the country, but also for the future of
the GOP and the Republican Party. I mean, I think
jd Vance this is unusual for a vice president. I
think Jade Vance has already shown a lot of people
that this guy is ready to go right now.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Not right now meeting, but you know.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
What I'm saying, Like he could take over in twenty
eight and there would be the future of both the
country and of the MAGA movement would be in very
good hands. Kamala Harris is is awful at being a candidate.
And I also think, look, I sometimes have a tough
time being as strident about these politicians as maybe I

(40:28):
should be, because I'm try to see good in people
and I don't want you know, we don't want to
be mean here. We're not trying to be mean here.
But then I remind like, that's how I thought about
Tim Walls. But then I remind myself of what he
did during COVID, and I'm like, no, he deserves it.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
He deserves it.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
And you mentioned what Kamala Harris did to Brett Kavanaugh,
which I think doesn't get nearly enough attention. As the
female voice on the Democrat side of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
she led the charge to smear a man as a
rapist who any body with an IQ over fifty could

(41:01):
see was manifestly innocent. Okay, not I don't know. I
wasn't there. You know who knows fifty to fifty. There
was zero evidence of any kind and any very you know,
there was just nothing. It was all just a giant
smear campaign. She led that campaign. I bring this up
because that's when I have to remind myself when we

(41:23):
point out that her husband, Doug M Hoff, is obviously
a scumbag and not a good person, and that they
tried to elevate him as part of the whole.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Oh, he's masking, you can trust him. These are bad people, actually.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
They have led public lives and private lives that are
problematic for anybody who's being honest. About what the country needs,
what the future of the country may be. Clay, Kamala
Harris is a person who is deeply unimpressive on all levels.
There's nothing about Kamala Harris that you could say, is

(41:55):
I mean, maybe ruthlessness, right, That's kind of what I
say about Pelosi.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Pelosi's ruthless.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Apparently very good at picking stocks, helps to be helps
to be very connected with whatever laws are going to
come out of the Congress, but very good at picking stocks.
But Clay, I will note that there was also even
Kabla came out and said that she's a gun owner.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
We haven't played this yet. Can we do this?

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Because I think this is this was an obvious question
as soon as she said she's a gun owner, that
should have been asked.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Here is Kamala Harris telling everybody what she owns? We
should talk about it. Play the cut.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
You recently surprised people when you said that you are
a gun owner, and then there's someone came into your
house the.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
First time I've shot it. That's not the first time
I've talked about it.

Speaker 6 (42:39):
So what kind of gun do you own?

Speaker 1 (42:40):
And when and why did you get it?

Speaker 5 (42:42):
I have a clock and I've had it for quite
some time. And I mean, look, Belle, my background is
in law enforcement, and.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Have you ever fired it?

Speaker 6 (42:57):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (42:59):
Of course I at a shooting range.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
Yes, of course I have. Okay, Buck, you know a
lot more about guns than I do. Many of this
audience are experts in guns. Your reaction, do you think
Kamala Harris has a glock? Do you think that she
has fired it many times at a gun range? And
what would you follow up with as a gun guy

(43:23):
if you had been sitting across from Kamala Harris here?

Speaker 2 (43:26):
So I think that my assessment on the show from
when this initially came up is accurate and even more
accurate now, which is I think that this is a
firearm that she got when she was probably the district
attorney in San Francisco. You know, I'm gonna take ritter
word that she owns a gun.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
People have been saying, well, what look, if someone asked
me what I you know, I would say I have
a glock nineteen. You know, I would say I I've
got a subcompact, I've got a seventeen, I've got a
you know, I would talk about you know, I've got
a Hollisan or I've got you know, whatever my optic is.
She's not gonna get any of that, right. I think
if she's fi hired this gun, it hasn't been in
the last decade.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
That's my guest.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I think she's fired it once at the range and
put it away in some lock box in a desk
drawer with old tax returns or something. Okay, I think
she has no But my bigger takeaway from this is Okay,
So then why shouldn't every law abiding American without a
felony conviction or some you know reason why they Why

(44:25):
can't you own a handgun in a lot of these
jurisdictions across the country, Democrats like Kamalo is making it impossible? Yea,
why do you make everyone else jump through all of
these hoops? The question I would ask her is great,
shouldn't shouldn't every law abiding American be able to enjoy
their Second Amendment rights and own a glock just like you? Kamala?
She would not answer that question, by the way, because

(44:47):
the anti gun and you know, the you know, the
Moms Against Gun Violence whatever they're called, and the Brady
people and all this stuff, they would lose their minds
because there's a whole The gun issue for Democrats isn't
really even about firearms. This is what it's about, a
separation of us and them. Gun owners are bad people

(45:07):
who vote the wrong way. Therefore we want to antagonize them.
And there are some Democrats who I think realize that
disarming the population is a critical step in absolutist control.
I do believe that as well. But Kamala Harris, once
again Clay wants to have it both ways. She's very
anti gun. She doesn't want people to be able to

(45:28):
own firearms, but for the purposes of getting elected. She's like,
I've got a glock and I've fired it. I mean,
I think if she's not all outlying, which she could be,
or just flat outlying, she's fired at once. She got it,
probably a decade ago, and it's been sitting in a
lock box ever since. And I think that she wants
to enjoy rights herself that she also doesn't want to

(45:48):
afford other people.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
It's like, if she believes.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
That she should have a gun, why shouldn't anybody who
wants to defend themselves be able to be able to
have a gun too.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
I don't know if Bill Whittaker, the guy who asked
that question on sixty Minutes, is a gun guy, but
I do give him credit for asking a lot of
questions that were reasonable and pushing back some on her
answers because I think, if you watch this video, I
think she's lying, and you may be right. She may
have fired a gun a decade ago. The way she

(46:17):
answers it makes me feel like maybe she got a
gun and she's never really been to the range. I
just think, as a politician, wouldn't if she were really
proud of shooting the gun, wouldn't there be video or
pictures of her at the gun range. I mean, again,
I know she's a San Francisco Democrat, so there may
not be a lot of political advantage in pictures of

(46:39):
her during the DA's campaign, for instance, but politicians get
pictures and videos everywhere. I would think there would be
evidence of her doing this somewhere in her possession if
she had actually been to a gun range with her
own handgun and been firing it there.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Oh so you think, see, I don't want to get
caught in saying that she's lying and then there's a
photo that comes out. But you right now, your assessment
is you just think she's lying.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Well all the way she answered it. Buck.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
She may have a gun, but I just can't believe
there wouldn't be photos or video of her shooting the
gun that she would have somewhere to be able to prove, hey,
here's my gun. Here, I am shooting it because I
think it would benefit her in this campaign. If there
was footage with these Midwest voters that she's trying to reach,

(47:30):
she would look way more normal if there was a
video of her shooting a gun or a picture.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
The coastal donor donor elites, they would be very unhappy
with a Kamala firing a handgun photo. I'm just saying
that this is the thing, right This is like a
lot of the environmental issue, it's not about appealing to voters,
it's about appealing to check writers.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Yeah, and I think gun issue she would help her overall.
I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I'm just saying I think that she doesn't want to
you know, she doesn't want to go there. She's not
willing to make.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
That decision because I just don't think she's You just
think she's flat out lying, which is I can't disagree
with you. I mean to me, that's just you.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Know, I don't know. I mean, maybe she'd it's.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
Maybe maybe who would come out and say, yeah, I
was at the gun range with her. Hey, I worked
in the DA's office. We used to go shoot all
the time. I mean, is there anybody out there listening
to us right now that has fired a firearm that
wouldn't have somebody who would say, yeah, I've seen him
or her with a gun before.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
I mean, yeah, I look, I see what you're saying.
I'm just I'm uh. I kind of go back and
forth because it'd be such a stupid and such a
brazen lie, and if she actually got caught. But I
don't think she's gonna get caught because now they're going
to set the issues over take some of your calls
on it. We've got a lot of gun owners in
this audience, probably a couple of million of them, So

(48:54):
I'm speaking all of you right now. Do you want
to get better at shooting without spending lots of money
on AMMO and always having to get to the range.
I'm talking about refining your shooting technique, the small mechanics
that make all the difference when you're talking about accuracy
and precision. You can do it at home with a
Mantis X system. Nearly every mantisx user, ninety four percent

(49:15):
of them see improvement in their shooting and aim within
just twenty minutes of using mantis X at home training system.
Use it with your own gun to do dry fire practice.
It's high tech, but it's very easy to use, and
once you get it set up, you realize you can
just get better at shooting without AMMO, without being at
the range using this dry fire technique and the mantis

(49:35):
X system. Tach it to your gun like a weaponlight.
Download the easy to use app on your phone and
follow the instructions. You can use it at home or
at the range. It's a great way. I actually get
it set up before you start using money with the AMMO.
You can try make sure you're a little squared away
with your Mantus X is what I've done with my
brothers before, and then start shooting live fire. You'll be like, Wow,
I'm already on target and I'm getting better and better

(49:57):
all the time.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
It'll be amazed at how.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Quickly you're shooting accuracy proved, and you're gonna save so
much money on amm own so much time as well.
Go to mantisx dot com. All the firearms owners out there,
all my two a community mantis x, m A n
tis x dot com.

Speaker 7 (50:13):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton mic drops that never.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Sounded so good.

Speaker 7 (50:20):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We mentioned that Kamala
is on a media tour and she started off her
day with the Ladies on the View. The sixty minutes
interview in full came out last night. She now is
talking with Howard Stern and then she's gonna be on
with Stephen Colbert. For those of you who are aware,

(50:54):
they usually tape those things around what Buck, you lived
right by the Late Show for a long time, like
five thirty Eastern ish is when they take that show typically?
I always yes, And I remember during COVID I lived
a block from them. I used to walk past the
La Show every single day. I live right there.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
And I remember during the COVID when they were doing
the show's Clay not only was ever in line outside masked,
but they were social distancing the line and masking outside.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
It was freezing outside.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Yeah, well remember the view. What was only like last
year that they stopped wearing masks in their studio audience,
Which is funny in and of itself that that would
still be going on. But this is one of the
questions that Howard Stern hit Kamala with. We're gonna play
this for you, but Buck, I will before I even

(51:47):
play that out, I will raise my hand and I
will say I would have never believed that Howard Stern,
whose books I enjoyed watt reading, who I occasionally would
listen to, would turn into such a total pussy willow
in his radio show that he back in the day.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
Whatever you think of.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Howard Stern, if he had Kamala Harris on, his first
question would be, and I think it's actually a super
interesting question, which would be somewhat revelatory of Kamala, would
be when did you find out that Doug em Hoff
got his nanny pregnant? Wouldn't that be something that you
think if you were dating a guy and you're like, hey,

(52:32):
you've got two kids, why did your first marriage end?
He got the nanny pregnant?

Speaker 2 (52:39):
I'm not saying everybody's perfect, but I think he got
the nanny pregnant. For most of you out there would
be a ooh, is this a guy I want to date?

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Everybody? Look, there's a lot of people who get divorced.
Marriage is hard. I'm not judging anybody who gets divorced.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
If you get your nanny pregnant, I am I'm sorry
going to judge you in your house. You can't avoid
getting the nanty pregnant. I think that's on you. That
would be a big red flag for me if I
were dating someone. When did Kamala find that out? To
mention nothing of hey, Doug Imhoff also is accused credibly

(53:19):
of smacking a woman so hard in the face that
he spun her fully around in twenty twelve at a
Fancy Can party, and now, based on all these allegations
from the Daily Mail, it sounds like he was kind
of a toxic dude inside of his law firm when
it comes to how he treated women. Now, again, these
are allegations. That's something that I think Kamala Harris should

(53:40):
have to answer somewhere, because Buck, I think you would
agree with me who you pick as a spouse says
a lot about you in both directions, and if you're
telling us, hey, you deserve to have the most important
job in America in terms of judgment and decision making,
I'd want to know how, at forty nine years old,

(54:01):
you picked Doug Imhoff as the man of your dreams,
given what his background is and what you had to
know about him. Instead, this is what Howard Stern, in
a swabbering, embarrassing interview just said with Kamala Harris.

Speaker 8 (54:17):
When you said you don't nap, I get it, because
what you've taken on is extraordinarily difficult. And I mean,
do you feel the pressure of the moment in this
sense that like when I met you out in the hall,
I said, I'm really nervous because I want this to
go well for you. I want it to go well
for the country. Even when I watched them on Saturday
Night Live with the where they have Maya Rudolph playing you,

(54:38):
I hate it. I don't want you being made fun of.
It's too much at stake. I believe the entire future
of this country right now. I mean, as America landed
the free Home of the Brave, I think it's literally
on the line. And when I see them, how did
you react to this Saturday Night Live bit?

Speaker 5 (54:56):
Well, I just saw it, Ashley, and it was funny.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
I'm a huge fan of Maya Rudolph.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
I think she'd put a lot of time into doing
a piece and the character.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
Okay, Buck, So let me just set this up for
you for people out there. His opening question of her
is to you nap? She says no, and then that's
the next entire interchange between them on the show.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
When did Howard Sturn turn into a neurotic little old lady?
That's what he sounds like. He sounds like like like
a crazy little old woman who's scared that, you know,
the burglars are going to break through the window in
her high rise in any moment or something. I mean,
what happened to this guy? I never was a fan,
for whatever that's worth, but I mean he wasn't. This

(55:39):
This is sad. Well not only that, Buck, he was funny.
And so for one of your your first question for
Kabla Harris to be that you're so nervous and you
want the interview to go well for her. First of all,
you're telling me that you have absolutely no desire to
do a real interview. But secondly, how can you be

(56:00):
upset at the use of humor on Saturday Night Live?

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Again?

Speaker 3 (56:05):
This is something I've argued for a long time, and
I think it's really consequential. I think if you don't
have a sense of humor, you scare me, and people say, well,
what do you mean by that? Senses of humor understand nuance,
and you're self aware and you're able to laugh. I
actually give Kamala credit for that answer. If she actually

(56:28):
does find Maya Rudolph who plays her funny, that is
a self awareness from her, because I think Maya Rudolph
actually does Kamala Harris decently right as an impersonator. And
if you go back in time, remember George W. Bush
or George H. W. Bush loved Dana Carvey. He would
have him into the White House to do his Bush

(56:48):
impersonations back in the day. I think George W. Bush
was fine with the way they made fun of him.
My argument has been I'm curious if you'd agree with me, Buck,
Absolutism is the enemy of comedy. As soon as you
become so convinced that you are one hundred percent right
and everybody else is one hundred percent wrong. You lose

(57:09):
the ability to laugh at yourself and be a logical,
reasonable person. And I've said this, maybe I'm wrong. Do
you think the terrorist camps have funny terrorists? Like, if
you're sitting around training to try to blow somebody up,
do you think that there's really funny terrorist?

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Maybe there are.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
My answer would be no, because absolutism is the enemy
of nuance in humor, and that's what Howard Stern is
buying into. I don't even want to see you made
fun of because it might hurt. No, No, no, everybody
in power should be made fun of. That's actually super
important in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Can confirm that the intel hall from the bin Laden
raid did not have a lot of good Bin Lodden
stand up. So yes, they tend to mind do.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
But you know what I'm talking about, Like, whatever you
do for a living, if you're a mechanic, there's somebody
in your office and your mechanic shop that can make
you laugh. That is the funny part of being at
work is there is somebody, hopefully who can make you
laugh at work every now and then. If you are
so committed to the idea of whatever it is, blowing

(58:11):
up your animal enemies, which is the definition of terrorism.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
That you're a.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Comedian like Howard Stern, and you would start your interview
with Kamala Harris by saying, I hope this goes really well.
And it hurts me when someone even does an impersonation
of you on Saturday Night Live. I'm sorry what a
shell of himself?

Speaker 1 (58:28):
Hee?

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Is that that's cult level pathetic stuff, right, That's that's
don't make fun of the dear leader. And if Kamala
Harris is your dear leader, you got you got big
problems to begin with. I you know, you even really
had this with Biden. There was no you know, hardcore
Biden constituency while he was president. There were people that

(58:50):
were happy that that Trump wasn't president, right, but nobody
was like, this guy's amazing. It wasn't like the Obama years,
when there.

Speaker 9 (58:57):
Was a a in your face, happy brand, you know,
happy to be associated with brand association for Democrats with
Barack Obama, right, they would have they wanted his his
book on their coffee table, they wanted his photo on
their wall.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
I mean all of that. Biden doesn't inspire that kind
of clearly. They just pushed him out, but he hasn't
inspired that kind of feeling in Democrats all along. I
mean Kamala Harris is even worse. Yes, I think she's
I think they've actually ended up with one of the
worst possible candidates they've had. Of all of the Democrats
who ran in twenty twenty, I think Kamala Harris is

(59:33):
one of the worst ones. Her job was to be
effectively a vice president who checked off the boxes. So
she was a dei hire as vice president. It was
not her competency, her record of accomplishment, or any of
her political skills. It wasn't that she came in second
place in the primary and it was like a runner
up trophy. It was, oh, okay, well we have somebody

(59:55):
who's a senator, she's black, she's female, she's a Democrat.
Let's make her VP. That was the hardy apparatus made
that decision. She's not good at this, and that Howard
Stern or anyone. By the way, it's not even Howard Stern.
The view any of these shows that are sitting down
cobt sixty minutes. I think sixty minutes still takes itself
seriously enough that they are not willing to completely debase

(01:00:17):
themselves for a candidate that is so inept the view clearly,
I mean, the view is just I don't even say
about the view. But then again, I do not know
a single person that watches it, so I can't speak
to one.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
I mean, I think it's a lot of wine moms, right,
if you're home at ten o'clock in the morning. I mean,
first of all, I know more people are home now
because there's a lot more remote work. But what do
you think the average ten am viewership is in America?
I would bet that it's still overwhelmingly female, right, That's
my guess. Maybe you're maybe I'm wrong, but I would

(01:00:55):
think a ten am viewership is overwhelmingly female. A lot
of moms who dropped off their kids at school, maybe
hitting the line a little bit early. Who think, oh,
Sonny Hostin will be Goldberg, Joy Bahar. That's the group
I'd like to have a book club with. Sounds miserable
to me, but there obviously is an audience there. But
I think to your point, Buck, the bigger and better

(01:01:16):
question is all of these people are already voting for Kamala.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
How many is a good question.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
How many people listen to Howard Stern regularly still and
are voting for Trump?

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
Almost none?

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Almost none, I would argue, are if you're if you
made it all the way through COVID and Howard Stern
being angry that you weren't wearing your mask enough and
you are still listening to Howard Stern there, I mean,
he said I don't want Trump voters to listen to
me because they're morons. Do you think that there is
any way at all that very many Trump voters are

(01:01:49):
still listening to him?

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
I don't know who listens to I don't know anyone
who listens to that show. I'll be obll be honest
with you, and I'm you know, I'm I'm willing to
admit that, like the Call Her Daddy podcasts from the metrics,
we can see has a huge audience, which I know.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
I don't know what to say other than apparently a
lot of people.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
You know, there are other shows out there that I'll
listen to sometimes that I you know, I don't have
time for it usually, but I enjoy and I understand
why they have big audiences, and I don't know who's
I guess the Stern audience is just people who have
listened to him for so long that it's a habit
that they won't break no matter what.

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
But anything it ought to be. I think his audience
a pinprick of what it used to be. I mean,
I really do, and and I think he's turned off.
I mean why Look, I said this back then, when
he said a couple of weeks ago, if you vote
for Trump, you're a more And I don't want you
to listen to you. If you are considering voting for Kamala,
I want you to listen to us. I want you

(01:02:44):
to hear our arguments. I welcome you. I wish more
Kamala voters listen to us, because, by the way, I
think the more time you listen, the less likely you
would be to be a Kamala voter. Because I think
we're logical, rational and reasonable and nothing we say is
remotely radical. And so I want you to listen because
I want you to hear arguments that otherwise you might
not get exposed to. But Trump, I mean, for Howard Stern,

(01:03:07):
I mean, it's an embarrassment for him to say.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
That everyone we can put, we can kind of round
them all up. Now.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
The view sixty minutes call her daddy, Howard Stern?

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
Where has she been? Where else has she been? Last
few days?

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
I mean it's all of a sudden she's doing all
this media. She has not I don't think she has
persuaded a single a single voter, correct, I agree with
you with any of this. I mean maybe like a handful,
and I mean actually a handful of people. I think
that it has been a total nothing burger and if
anything has actually been a negative, a net negative for

(01:03:44):
the Kamala campaign. I mean these clips, Clay can't you
can't make this stuff up. I always used to say,
I feel badly. Biden reminds me when one of my
grandfather's I was very close to, and you know, I
had a very high opinion of started to have positive decline.
I saw some of that with Biden, and so it
just it would, you know, trigger in my mind those

(01:04:04):
memories of a grandfather who's struggling because he can't, you know, remember,
and the words aren't his. And so that always kind
of held us back with I think going all in
on it. We're saying, look, the guy's probably got dementia.
But you felt bad sometimes going at him for his
lack of cognition just because it's it's a sad thing.
I mean it's it's a sad thing. He's at that stage.

(01:04:26):
Kamala Harris, No, no, there's no dementia. I mean she
has you know, the cognition is there. She just says nonsense.
I mean truly just says nonsense, and not everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
I disagree with Bernie Sanders. He doesn't spew nonsensical idiocy.
I just think that he's wrong on things, but he
doesn't say things that make zero sense.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
I I disagree with Pete Booter judge. He doesn't say things.
He speaks like in the corporate jargon, but he doesn't
say things that make no sense.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
Kamala Harris makes no sense. He says nothing's a moron,
she's more.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
And actually she's not only a moron. I think she
picked a dumber person than her to be her VP,
which is Tim Walls, which why I've said for some time, Buck,
I'm not even This is not hyperbole from me, no joke,
as Joe Biden would say. I think Kamala and Walls
is the dumbest presidential ticket that has existed in any
of our lives.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
I don't even have.

Speaker 3 (01:05:22):
Yeah, I don't even know because usually to your point,
Barack Obama's a really smart guy. Right, you may not
agree with him, but he's a legitimately smart guy. Kamala
is a moron. Look, Bill Clinton was obviously a very
smart guy. I can't even think of a close second
in our life for the most moronic presidential ticket than
this one right now with Kamala Walls.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
There's a security that comes with diversifying the way you
invest funds in your savings and retirement accounts. While having
all your savings invested in cash as a stable, trusted position,
the effects of inflation diminish its value. Investing a portion
of it in goal is one way of making sure
that value doesn't evaporate slowly over time. The current price
of gold is one indication of why this deserves your consideration.

(01:06:06):
The long term picture on gold's value is just as reinforcing.
