Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Friday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. If it sounds
a bit different on my end, it is because I
am in Asheville, North Carolina, broadcasting from five to seventy
AM WWNC. We're going to tell you the story of
this station. During the course of today's broadcast. They were
(00:28):
not ever off air in the midst of one of
the biggest disasters relating to flooding and hurricanes in the
history of the United States, the deadliest hurricane since Katrina.
I flew in this morning on a helicopter from Tennessee
over the mountains. Buck, I have been over all of
(00:48):
these different communities looking at what they are dealing with.
Flew over I forty. We are sharing videos. You can
go look at them yourself. I wanted to see it
for myself. We are raising money tonight in Knoxville, Tennessee,
at the Yehaw Brewery, and certainly we want to be
talking to as many people in western North Carolina and
(01:11):
eastern Tennessee as is possible with so many people still recovering.
It's stunning, Buck, It's stunning to see from the air.
The scope of the disaster in this area, it is
unbelievable to me really just kind of to characterize it
and simplify it in one thing. I mean I forty
(01:35):
in North Carolina. I cannot imagine that they are going
to be able to get it open for a year
or more. There are and I shared videos from the
helicopters so that many of you can see just how devastating,
for instance, just that small segment of the storm was.
There are parts of I forty. If you've ever driven
(01:56):
through gone from Tennessee into North Carolina going east, there
are parts of I forty where the eastern side of
the interstate doesn't exist anymore. It has been washed away.
There is no underlying support at all for the land there.
It's got to be I can't imagine that they're gonna
be able to do this in less than a year.
(02:17):
And it may be to the point where at some
aspects of the interstate they even have one lane going
one way and one lane going the other way. My
point on using that as an example here, Buck is
this is going to be an incredibly intensive rebuild, and
I want to be honest with what I saw. I
(02:39):
did not see some massive amount of government military support
from FEMA from the air based on all the destroyed
regions that I saw. Now, I don't want to be
somebody who's pretending that they are an expert on the
federal government's response, but just for what I saw and
(03:00):
flew over all these devastated communities. Again, you can see
the videos that we have posted. I want to bring
attention to what's going on in this region of the
people who are still struggling here. But the radio station
where I'm broadcasting from, the only reason they are up
right now with this show is Starlink because of Elon
Musk So thank you Elon. They still don't have running
water at the radio station. Much of Ashville does not
(03:22):
have running water. Is talking to the guys at at
one o'clock, We're going to have somebody on the ground
here to talk. They have the kids in school is
a long way from being able to open back up
here because they can't get water in the schools, they
can't produce meals. There are people struggling in a massive
way still that do not have I don't think the
(03:43):
resources and support that our nation should be giving them.
So I want to bring attention. That's why I'm here.
I know there's a lot of people doing incredible work,
a lot of people extending their hands, not from the government,
that are working like crazy. The helicopter pilot I had
Buck said that the place where they work has been
filling up constantly five hundred pounds of material and flying
(04:06):
it into air drop regions, churches, community centers, so many
different places to try to get people what they need.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
He said.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
One of the things they need now is it starting
to get cold here, and it was in the forties
this morning, and people don't have the ability to heat
their homes, so portable electric heaters, all these different things
that they are bringing in. It's going to be a long,
difficult cold winter now based on this timing. And again,
I just want to make sure that people are aware
(04:35):
there is a massive amount that still needs to be
done here.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I spoke to a contact of mine last night, Clay,
about this. I knew you would be there and I
wanted to get his perspective. He's involved in some of
these air rescues and going out in helicopters. One thing
that he said to me, first off, it's interesting the
people who are doing the work increasingly don't want to
(05:00):
criticize FEMA, not because they don't think that FEMA should
be criticized, but because they're hope and more federal resources
are going to be deployed and used. Right, So it's
a little bit of a catch twenty two. It's a
it's a difficult moment for some of the apparently local
law enforcement and you know neighbors. What he said to me,
(05:24):
I'll just sort of quote this anonymously, is that rednecks
with chainsaws have saved more lives than the federal government
and it isn't even close.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
That's what he is.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
That doesn't surprise me at all, having grown up in
this area, that the rednecks with chainsaws would be way
better than the Biden administration at helping people.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So that's been the case so far. There. Again, the
federal government has.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Vast resources, so the hope is that you know, you
want it's like they want to encourage the federal resources
to be better utilized. So they got to say, hey, guys,
you got to do better. But they don't also want
to be in a position where there is antaganism, because
really just about saving and helping people, right, So, you know,
getting that ground truth out. It's a little bit of
a of a there's some delicate aspects to it right
(06:10):
now for.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
The people on the front lines.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That was I thought that was interesting perspective, and you're
seeing it now and you saw from the air what
an absolute mess all this is. I also think it's
very clear that because the because the Biden administration is
in charge of the federal government, and because of the
demographics of the areas that are most affected, the national
(06:35):
news media is completely uninterested, disinterested take your pick in
what is going on here. I mean, you go at
the you know, you go at the front page of
a lot of news sites right now that are pro
Kamala or pro Democrat in this election, and they might
(06:55):
have some minor news item on what's going on in Helene,
but much more about the Wall's manliness tour, and which
we'll talk about because that's gonna be fun. And Kamala
Harris doing just fine, even though ever knows she's not
doing well at all the hurricane. The hurricane is politicized
through the news coverage and also the lack of interest
from the coastal media elite.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So you're seeing it firsthand.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I expected Buck based on the way that people had
been covering it. Now to see massive amounts of governmental
resources from the air being deployed, I didn't see that,
And I saw a destruction that is mind boggling to
think about in terms of how long it's going to
(07:41):
take to have some of these communities recover. We're not
talking about months, We're talking about years of rebuild all
through these areas. And again, I just didn't see that
many government resources. I mean, when you come through Ashville
in the air buck, there are still massive cars just
(08:02):
in the river that have been swept away, washed away.
I mean when you see some of these dams. First
of all, the dams got overtopped, that is, the water
was coming right over the top of the dams, and
many different of these regions there is massive amount of
debris that I don't even know how they're going to
(08:23):
be able to get all of that debris out, the
likes of which I've never seen before. And again, we're
gonna be posting videos that I want you guys to
be able to see because frankly, I haven't seen a
lot of these videos. I haven't seen a lot of
people up in the air. The other thing is I
thought there would be a tremendous amount of helicopter traffic
because to a large extent, the airport is not usable
(08:45):
in Asheville and many of these roads and bridges are
washed out. Our helicopter pilot said it had been very
busy with the number of helicopters. I saw four we
flew over all these communities. I think I saw four
or five total helicop in the hour and a half
two hours that we were in the air coming in
this direction to be able to see everything. So it's
(09:07):
not going to be FEMA or the United States government
based on what I saw that gets this area back
up and running. It's going to be a lot of
rednecks to your point, Buck with chainsaws, a lot of
good guys and gals that live in this area and
are coming in from other regions doing their hardest work
to try to get all of these people back up
(09:29):
on their feet. And let me be clear too, it's
a beautiful region and this is typically Buck when a
lot of people flood into this area probably a poor
choice of words, they're in flood, but so many people
come in and to see the leaves changing, right, I mean,
so there's a huge industry here that basically is not
going to be able to make the money that it
(09:50):
usually does. And a lot of people use the money
that they make during the leaf changing season to get
them through the winter and be able to take care
of their families. So it's not just the natural destruction,
it's that the tourism industry that generally fuels much of
this area is not going to be able to uh
to have its normal actions, which is going to put
(10:11):
its own strain on. But remember Kamala is going to
give people seven hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Look, I have in laws with a They have a
vacation rental property in Lake Lore, which is the downtown
is gone. So you can imagine there's not going to
be the same kind of ability to, to your point,
monetize and have that economy going. It's a tourism based economy,
(10:35):
and when you have no roads and no water and
all the disaster stuff that we have still what we're
still seeing, that's a very difficult situation economically for everyone there.
I just would point out, if you're wondering who is
getting the blame for any frustration over the Hellene recovery efforts,
(10:56):
MSNBC coming in coming in hot here, Clay, this is
the main story.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
On the website right now. I'm not going look, this
is the biggest story.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Trump thinks Americans have forgotten how bad his.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Hurricane relief efforts were.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So I just when people are saying things like don't
politicize it, what they're actually saying is shut up, we
know we're doing a bad job. At Donald Trump is
hitler and nothing else matters. I mean, that's what the
new that's where the news media is that wants Kamla
to win. We're a few weeks away from election day,
and I don't think that there's if they had I
don't think there's any way for them to make a
(11:33):
clear case that what they are doing is effective and
has been a display of the competency of the federal
government at this level. And just like again talking to
this contact who's doing some of the rescues there, why
would the federal government suddenly be good at this Look
at the look at the federal government's been like the
(11:54):
last four years.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
What in what world would it be normal for us
to say.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know what, this Biden team, they they've really got
their act together.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Efficiency, Mission focus, no politics.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
We would have to be living in an alternate universe
for that to be true, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And let me just say they say they don't want
to make anything political. Well, we've got an election in
three weeks, and based on what I saw, there are
going to be tens of thousands. I would bet fewer
people who are able to vote in western North Carolina
than would have voted if this storm hadn't happened, and
or if there had been a fully robust government response
(12:33):
able to get people back on their feet as fast
as they possibly could. And this is an overwhelming Trump
voting region. The population in western North Carolina in all
of these impacted counties. Yes, Ashville has a little blue dot,
but overwhelmingly if you look at the number of voters,
Trump is being impacted more significantly in terms of votes.
(12:56):
You heard David Axelrod talk about it. This is a
real deal. And in a state that was decided by
seventy thousand votes. If you live in another part of
North Carolina and you are listening to us right now,
you need to show up and vote because a lot
of people here I don't think are going to be
able to buck. A lot of people got relocated, They're
living in a different location than they otherwise would, their
(13:18):
homes are completely lost, and voting is the last thing
on their minds, which you can well understand given how
much of a devastated region this is. And I just
think it's going to be consequential in terms of the
overall outcome in North Carolina. And I think you would
have to be wearing blinders not to recognize that. And
(13:40):
does it make you ask the question, if these were
die hard Kamala Harris and Joe Biden supporters, would the
federal government response have been better, faster, and more productive. Yeah,
I think it would have been. I have that opinion
now having flown in and seen this.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That's why seeing with your own eyes is so important.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
And this is a part of the conversation Clay that
I have to say. I mean, I know it's tough
to see what you're seeing, and your heart goes out
to all the people that are affected. But we need
ground truth on this issue because we do haven't. First
of all, we need to get people the help that
they need, and that can only happen with public attention
on the ifact right and with the media disinterested for
(14:21):
political and other reasons, by the way, but mostly political reasons.
There isn't the focus on this issue. And then there's
also the accountability of we have an election coming up,
the people in charge are incompetent right now. Let's get
a better regime. Let's get a better government, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm in North Carolina right now, as you guys can
hear and will continue to discuss. And I'm at the
Ashville affiliate here WWNC, and I want to give them
a tremendous amount of credit. These guys have been working
here for fifteen straight days since this storm started. Many
of them slept here on the ground to be able
to keep this radio up and running, and the radio
(14:59):
station was one of the few places where people could communicate.
We've talked about the need for you to have battery
powered radios if there's crisis in your place, of importance
of AM radio in general, but also buck if you
want to be able to communicate. You know this because
you have family in this area. Your sister in law
was able to communicate on rapid radios. They commute. They
operate on a nationwide LTE network, not a cell phone,
(15:23):
but it can connect you with family members and friends
far away with a one touch connection, no subscription costs
or monthly fees. Rapid radios provide true walkie talkie ease
with all the connectivity and technology of today. And look,
I could talk right now with a single touch of
the button on my rapid radio. I can talk to
(15:44):
Bucky's in LA. We can talk across the entire nation
right now. These are great for needing in an emergency situation.
And for a limited time you can go to rapid
radios dot com. You'll get up to sixty percent off,
free ups shipping from mission again, plus a free protection bag.
Add Code Radio when you make your purchase, get an
(16:06):
extra five percent off. That's Rapid Radios dot Com, Code
Radio five percent off and a brand new bag when
you make your purchase today. Do it now.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
We've got speaker Johnson talking about how FEMA is sitting
on a pile of cash.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Was it a mistake to leave and adjoin the Congress
for the campaign trail without addressing more disaster relief funding
given the circumstances that we now find ourselves in.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Well, the fact is, I think many people have not
fully understood, is that we did address it, and we
did appropriate twenty billion additional dollars to FEMA with early
drawdown authorities. So they're sitting on a giant pile of
cash and they haven't used it yet. As of Monday
of this week, by administration had only sent out about
(17:08):
one percent of those dollars. It only distributed one percent,
So there's plenty of money to address the immediate needs.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Claig and I just note, on the one hand, Democrat
media says, don't politicize Helene. On the other hand, anything
going wrong with Helene is the fault of Republicans. Oh okay, interesting, Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Again I would just come back to you don't want
to politicize it, but there is an election in three weeks,
and if people can't go vote because you've done such
an awful job of trying to get them back on
their feet, that's the very essence of political interference.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
But I think we should politicize it. Actually it's political.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So you know, there is a time for politics, and
I think right now is one of those times.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Look, Democrats have an awful situation right now with men.
We're going to have some fun with some of their
outreach to men of late. It ain't going well. But
if you want to do well with men, one thing
you could do is be pro testosterone and pro men
with testosterone. That's what Chalk does every single day. They
will get you more energy if you're filming a little
bit tired as you get into Friday, a lot going on.
(18:13):
They're best sellers the Male Vitality Stack, lead ingredient proven
in studies to replenish twenty percent of diminished testosterone levels
in men within three months. Chalk manufacturers right here in
the good old USA. They are based in Texas with
our friend Seaton, and you can get hooked up and
put some testosterone back in your life. All you have
to do is go to cchoq dot com, use my
(18:34):
name play for a massive discount on any subscription for life.
You can also call or text five zero chalk three thousand.
Now say Clay and Bucks sent me. That's five zero
chalk three thousand. They will hook you up put some
testosterone back in your life with Chalk. Later in this show,
(18:59):
we will play the Kamala Harris outreached him in through
tim walls and through really failed advertisements. But Buck, you
know things are getting bad for Kamala when they put
Barack Obama out on the campaign trail and he tells
black men that they should be shamed in devoting for
(19:20):
Kamala Harris because some of them are not voting for
her because she's a woman. This is cut three.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy
and turnout in all quarts of our neighborhoods at good musicians.
So now I also want to say that that seems
to be more pronounced with the brothers.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
All right, fuck, what do you think the odds are
that Black men who are not interested in voting for
Kamala are now going to hear Barack Obama lecturing them
and saying basically they're misogynistic, their sexist for not supporting
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Enough.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Does this help or hurt overall blackmail turnout?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I think it has. I think it has really no effect.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I think that the Democrats at this stage they've changed,
They've changed their approach with Kamala enough times that we're
we're in the final stretch, and I think this is
a let the let the chips fall where they may
part of it.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I think that there's not much that they can do
because the over they they've shifted the overall narrative a
few times, and they've they've actually moved away from well
first of all, having her hide from the media and
now having her do a media blitz, having her be
this candidate who was bragging about how she was so
(20:55):
involved and doing, you know, and so central to the
four years of bud into now well, actually she says
she wouldn't change anything, but also she's a change candidate, Clay,
none of it makes any sense.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
The only why for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Harris at this point, the only reason people have to
vote for her is you're a Democrat who votes Democrat,
which is a vast majority of the votes that she's
going to get, and or you just absolutely hate Donald Trump.
There's really very little that you could even say about
what this campaign is, which is also unsurprising because it's
only been a few months.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean, they really thought that they could just spring
up a.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Campaign out of nowhere effectively, and that it would resonate,
and that you know, campaigns go through, you know, go
through phases, iterations, messaging, things catch on. I mean, you
look at someone like Trump, right with Trump, it's what's
everyone cheering at my rallies what gets people excited when
I come to see them, and there's that real time
(21:53):
learning process with Kamalo. What are they even trying to do, Clay,
we'll talk more about this. The push for masculine voters
for Kamala that they're doing right now. I don't know
what to say. They have to find somebody at Tim
Walls was the first effort at this. He's he's doing
a media blitz right now himself Good Morning America, which
(22:15):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Still existed with Michael Strahan. What else is he doing?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He's going pheasant hunting with social media. Of course, of
course I'm.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Gonna shoot some birds.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You know now, now the fact that you were tampon,
Tim who was putting tampon's in the boys' bathrooms in schools,
totally normal because you went pheasant hunting. There's a few
other things. On Friday night lights at Mankato West you
probably what is that?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I think that's the high school that he coached at.
So they're going to a high school football game in
Minnesota to try to be like, hey, we're football guys.
He's but he got cooked by Michael Strahan, which I
did not anticipate Straighthn actually questioned him pretty aggressively. Buck.
But when you have to call out Barack Obama to
try to shame black guys into voting for Kamala, Harris,
(23:03):
your campaign has got major trouble.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I mean, it's one thing.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
If Barack Obama's going out and they're like trying to
convince Philadelphia housewives who like Barack Obama to show up
and vote for Kamala. But when you've got Barack Obama
basically lecturing black men that they need to support Kamala,
those numbers internally must be a disaster.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
There is no question that she is losing right now.
And if she was here's how you know this. If
she wasn't losing, you would be hearing about how she's winning.
And I know that seems so straightforward, but it's true.
If she wasn't behind, clearly, they'd all be saying, you know,
the Kamala momentum and look at what a great campaign
(23:46):
she's been running. Because I know people say, oh, but
maybe they're trying to play possum and make it seem
like you know less, you know, like she's doing less
well than she is, because that'll lull us into a
false sense of security. The truth is, you want your
people motivated and mobilized, right You want people want to
(24:07):
vote for a winner. They want to vote for the
team that they think has a real shot and is
going to come out on top. They don't want to
hear that like we're getting our butts kicked. Can you
please show up and do something for us? And that's
essentially the narrative that you're seeing all this week about
where things stand with Kamal Haarrisman. I don't think that
she is in any way at a place where she
(24:30):
could say that this has well. I think it's been
the worst week of the campaign, which a lot of
people have been saying because it's so obvious and the
commercial do we have that you need?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
The thing is I don't really want to play.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Maybe we'll put it up on clanbuck dot com the
latest Kamala Masculinity commercials, so people can go easily find it.
I think you shared it on your Twitter. I'll probably
respond to it because you need the visuals.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
But a couple of these guys they have Look, I'm
not a big Broadway guy, so I'm not trying to
pick on show tunes, but a couple of like, I'm
so masculine, like look at me in my lumberjack shirt.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Guys they've got.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'm like, they look like they're fabulous, and they're gonna
be doing show tunes like they they come across as
not the masculine avatars that they need to pretend support Koma.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Do you know they can't even get the optics of this, right,
is my point.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
They can't even make it seem like they know what
they're talking about at the most basic level.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yes, And I would.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Just come back to the analogy I started the week
with when we found out Kamala was doing sixty minutes,
Call Her Daddy, the View, Stephen Colbert, all of these
and now they've got Tim Walls doing interviews. They are
trying to change their game plan with about twenty three
twenty four days until the election. And whenever you do that,
(25:48):
it is a sign that your numbers are really, really bad.
And I think what this is gonna do, Buck, It
just exposes or even more, which is what they've tried
to hide. And I think within a week you will
start to see even before the election, some Democrats will
be coming out and saying to your credit, what you
said and what we argued for this on the show
(26:08):
while back. Yeah, switching to Kamala was a mistake. We
should have or they should have done some sort of
many primary yes and try to pick somebody else, because
their pick would not have been Kamala if they had
been able to rig it like they did when Hillary
was the pick, like they did when Biden was the pick,
this thing would not have been rigged for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I you know this Bob Woodward book just came out,
which you know, it says things Trump says.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's not true. You know, Woodward crafts this narrative.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
He's a huge Democrat, hates Trump, crafts this narrative of
anonymous sources to write this narrative that you know, how
could he know?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Is he even in the room? Hey put that aside
for a second.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I know, Watergate, Nxon whatever, Like that's the most important
thing that's happened to the history of the Republic is
getting Richard Nixon out of office. But Clay, you know
there's a part where he talks about Biden sitting down
with Blinken.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I read some of the excerpts. I mean, I'm not
reading the whole book.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But Biden's sitting down with Blinken right before Biden bowed out,
and Biden wasn't bowing out to be just so everyone
understands like this is now it is now confirmed. Well,
I mean, as much as you believe would work. But
I don't think he would lie about this. I mean,
I think he does have good sourcing in the Biden
White House. I think it's the Trump attacks where we
have to say, what's the motivation here? But Clay, like
(27:22):
two days a day, maybe before Biden actually put out
that tweet and stepped down.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
He was staying in because he knew. He knew that
Kamala can't win. This is what this is what I
was saying the whole time. I'm like, this is insane.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I mean, maybe I'll a'll take the biggest humble pie
ever after this election if I'm wrong on this one.
But why would after that debate performance, the notion that
Joe Biden even for one day, Clay stayed where he
was without saying, guys, I'm too old.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
It's not because Joe just thought he was so sharp
and great and his egomaniac.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
It's more I think he realized Kamala can't do this buck.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
On the day that he dropped out, they had all
the campaign surrogates going on the Sunday morning talk show
saying he wasn't going to drop out. So this idea
that somehow it was a gracious exit and it was
well planned and well orchestrated. He posted a statement on
Twitter Sunday afternoon, and remember he had to post a
second one to say that he was endorsing Kamala. I
(28:23):
think the answers that he's given to the DeSantis Kamala
hurricane questions have indicated that he's looking at this polling,
he seeing the results, and his response when Kamala loses
is going to be I would have won. That's going
to be his legacy that they forced him out and
they were wrong, and they're the reason Trump won.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
The betrayal of Biden.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
You can almost see it as a wing at the
Biden presidential library, the betrayal of Biden. I think that
that's very likely where we're heading here, But I know
there's weeks left. We know that it's going to be
pretty close, although it's looking close with each possible day
right now, but it's still going to be close. I
think in the end we'll take some of your calls
on this and also, Clay, we're going to have your
(29:08):
guests right from the station in Ashville, from the iHeart.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Value, exactly what it was like here over the last
fifteen days. They have been live on air, they've been
taken calls. It's going to be I think, really compelling
radio for you to hear the story about what the
experience was like here for people in Nashville over the
past two weeks.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
And you know, one of the things that Democrats are
absolutely counting on in this election, I think more than
really anything else is abortion. It is the central commandment
of the Democrat Party these days. That maybe and hating Trump.
And the truth is, as we know, abortion is still
practice in terrible numbers, especially in blue states, but all
(29:49):
over the country. And so while we're trying to change
hearts and minds and eventually laws about this to protect life,
what can be done to save lives today to help
convince people to embrace the mere miracle of the tiny baby.
Moms embrace the miracle of the tiny baby growing inside them.
That's where preborn comes in. Preborn has been doing this
for years and they're doing it right now today as
(30:11):
I speak to you. They step in to help moms
who are having a crisis pregnancy, a difficult decision to face,
and give them the love, support and direction that they
need to give life to their tiny baby. The critical
part of this process is the ultrasound, because when that
ultrasound happens and mom meets the tiny baby growing inside
(30:32):
her womb, overwhelmingly the choice is for life.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It's left up to mom at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
But once that godly connection has been made between mother
and child, then the chances are so much higher. But
they need your help right now. You the pro life
community for Preborn to continue the work that they do.
The Team of Preborn saves the lives of approximately two
hundred babies each day, and they've saved three hundred thousand
(30:58):
babies lives over the past twenty years. You can donate today,
please do. Each ultrasound costs Preborn just twenty eight dollars.
If you can donate that amount, or even five times
that amount one hundred and forty dollars, you'd be contributing
to saving the lives of unborn babies right now. Using
your cell phone dial pound two five zero, Say baby.
That's pound two five zero say baby, Or go online

Speaker 3 (31:37):
I've got a cup of it? Does you watching?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I don't have my cool mug, but our own Craig
Kitchenclay felt bad for me because I didn't have my
Crockett coffee yesterday, so he brought a coffee maker into
the studio along with Crockett coffee so I can have
the good stuff so I don't drink some commie swill
and end up like one of these guys in a
Kamala Harris Masculinity ad or whatever they're calling them now.
(32:03):
So I just say, yes, Kyacoffee dot com, that's what
you need.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You need.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
You don't want to end up in one of these
comala ads.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
They're like, yeah, I like guns and muscles and show tunes.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I mean, it's it's a little weird what they've got
going on.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It reminds me, but not in a funny way of
remember forty year old Virgin when he starts talking about
how he likes women's body parts and everybody just starts
getting like really uncomfortable because it's clear that he hasn't
ever been around a woman. And that's kind of how
I would say men who are pretending to vote for
(32:39):
Kamala are when it comes to their masculinity, they are
very divorced from what it is to be a man,
unlike our Crocket Coffee drinkers who are loaded with masculinity.
And also, by the way, you can get a copy
of my book if you use the code book at
Crocket Coffee dot com. I want to know how much
how much would you have to get paid to appear
(33:00):
in a men for Kamala ad?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Is there a dollar retirement retirement level money? Like it
would have to be like I never have to work again.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
You would you would just never be able to be
seen again, like you would do the ad and then
you would just vanish.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I'm actually surprised by this, I guess because they want
to appeal to the folks, you know as democrats, the folks.
But I think that the obvious move, the more obvious move,
would be to have you know, one of these one
of these actors who's taking like, you know, a thousand
milligrams of testosterone a week and some HGH or whatever
is super jacked, at least while they're making the movie,
(33:38):
and they tell everybody they just like have a great
trainer and do pushups. Have one of them come forward
and be like, oh, like I am Thor and like
I love Kamala Harris. You know, but I guess they
want they don't want the Hollywood elite thing, so instead
they've got these guys like That's what I thought they
would do for the masculinity problem, but maybe that would
seem too phony to them, so instead they have guys
who are coming forward. I mean, I'll you know, are
(33:58):
on Ryan Gradusky said this in response to this ad
on X on Twitter. He's like, could they find somebody
who doesn't seem like they have a testosterone deficiency to
be the exemplar of masculinity.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
That's a fair point.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I don't know why they can't get this right, but
I think maybe they've just so many of the guys
in the Democrat Party have been so just hectored by
feminists that they're terrified.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I don't know, you're not.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
A football guy, but it always makes me laugh when
they do football and they have people who can't throw
a football who are actors. There's all these viral clips
of guys that just can't throw a football. It's like
they've never had a football in their hand and ever
thrown it. And they're trying to play the star quarterback
or whatever, and they're just at practice and they're like
throwing a football and you watch it and you say
(34:48):
that dude has never thrown a football before in his
whole life, Like his body at language is all.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He's, you know, twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Years old, playing a high school or college kid, and
he's never thrown a football in his whole life. This
ad feels like that they thought, hey, what do men
like to do? They have a random guy on the
bench press, they have a guy standing by a horse,
and I think it's supposed to be somewhat satire, but
it's not funny enough to be satire, and it just
(35:14):
comes off as you have no idea what actual normal guys.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Are like that might as well. They might as well
have like a borod appearance. He's like, I have a big, strong,
metaling chest. It's like, what are you doing? Where are
these ads coming from?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
This makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
And also, by the way, the pivot, have you ever
heard a man say, you know, I'm a man, and
I strongly believe in a woman's right to choose. I've
never had that conversation ever occur. I know a lot
of men, and I'm not saying that people don't have
a variety of opinions on abortion. That conversation has never occurred. Now,
I think men might know what to guys trying to
sleep with.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Yeah, you know what guys who support abortion say, Yeah,
I support abortion.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
They actually don't say I support a women's right to
choose bodily autonomy, Like that's not how it goes.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
And usually they say it after four v years at
the bar with a girl they're trying to take home.
You know, I'm a big I'm a big abortion guy.
Just just so you know, big abortion guy, you're gonna
hop on hop at the garden head home with me.
I mean a lot of this is total bs designed
to pick up chicks. When it comes to what guys
say about politics, Just FYI, especially single guys, and.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Tell everybody about our guests coming up here from a
studio with you.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, look, we're going to talk. These guys slept for
fifteen days off and on inside of this studio. I
who was here for the whole time is gonna come
in and talk about it. From ww NC five seventy
Am and Ashville. You're gonna absolutely love the story that
he's gonna tell us that is next. What's actually going
on here,
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Friday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. If it sounds
a bit different on my end, it is because I
am in Asheville, North Carolina, broadcasting from five to seventy
AM WWNC. We're going to tell you the story of
this station. During the course of today's broadcast. They were
(00:28):
not ever off air in the midst of one of
the biggest disasters relating to flooding and hurricanes in the
history of the United States, the deadliest hurricane since Katrina.
I flew in this morning on a helicopter from Tennessee
over the mountains. Buck, I have been over all of
(00:48):
these different communities looking at what they are dealing with.
Flew over I forty. We are sharing videos. You can
go look at them yourself. I wanted to see it
for myself. We are raising money tonight in Knoxville, Tennessee,
at the Yehaw Brewery, and certainly we want to be
talking to as many people in western North Carolina and
(01:11):
eastern Tennessee as is possible with so many people still recovering.
It's stunning, Buck, It's stunning to see from the air.
The scope of the disaster in this area, it is
unbelievable to me really just kind of to characterize it
and simplify it in one thing. I mean I forty
(01:35):
in North Carolina. I cannot imagine that they are going
to be able to get it open for a year
or more. There are and I shared videos from the
helicopters so that many of you can see just how devastating,
for instance, just that small segment of the storm was.
There are parts of I forty. If you've ever driven
(01:56):
through gone from Tennessee into North Carolina going east, there
are parts of I forty where the eastern side of
the interstate doesn't exist anymore. It has been washed away.
There is no underlying support at all for the land there.
It's got to be I can't imagine that they're gonna
be able to do this in less than a year.
(02:17):
And it may be to the point where at some
aspects of the interstate they even have one lane going
one way and one lane going the other way. My
point on using that as an example here, Buck is
this is going to be an incredibly intensive rebuild, and
I want to be honest with what I saw. I
(02:39):
did not see some massive amount of government military support
from FEMA from the air based on all the destroyed
regions that I saw. Now, I don't want to be
somebody who's pretending that they are an expert on the
federal government's response, but just for what I saw and
(03:00):
flew over all these devastated communities. Again, you can see
the videos that we have posted. I want to bring
attention to what's going on in this region of the
people who are still struggling here. But the radio station
where I'm broadcasting from, the only reason they are up
right now with this show is Starlink because of Elon
Musk So thank you Elon. They still don't have running
water at the radio station. Much of Ashville does not
(03:22):
have running water. Is talking to the guys at at
one o'clock, We're going to have somebody on the ground
here to talk. They have the kids in school is
a long way from being able to open back up
here because they can't get water in the schools, they
can't produce meals. There are people struggling in a massive
way still that do not have I don't think the
(03:43):
resources and support that our nation should be giving them.
So I want to bring attention. That's why I'm here.
I know there's a lot of people doing incredible work,
a lot of people extending their hands, not from the government,
that are working like crazy. The helicopter pilot I had
Buck said that the place where they work has been
filling up constantly five hundred pounds of material and flying
(04:06):
it into air drop regions, churches, community centers, so many
different places to try to get people what they need.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
He said.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
One of the things they need now is it starting
to get cold here, and it was in the forties
this morning, and people don't have the ability to heat
their homes, so portable electric heaters, all these different things
that they are bringing in. It's going to be a long,
difficult cold winter now based on this timing. And again,
I just want to make sure that people are aware
(04:35):
there is a massive amount that still needs to be
done here.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I spoke to a contact of mine last night, Clay,
about this. I knew you would be there and I
wanted to get his perspective. He's involved in some of
these air rescues and going out in helicopters. One thing
that he said to me, first off, it's interesting the
people who are doing the work increasingly don't want to
(05:00):
criticize FEMA, not because they don't think that FEMA should
be criticized, but because they're hope and more federal resources
are going to be deployed and used. Right, So it's
a little bit of a catch twenty two. It's a
it's a difficult moment for some of the apparently local
law enforcement and you know neighbors. What he said to me,
(05:24):
I'll just sort of quote this anonymously, is that rednecks
with chainsaws have saved more lives than the federal government
and it isn't even close.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
That's what he is.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
That doesn't surprise me at all, having grown up in
this area, that the rednecks with chainsaws would be way
better than the Biden administration at helping people.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So that's been the case so far. There. Again, the
federal government has.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Vast resources, so the hope is that you know, you
want it's like they want to encourage the federal resources
to be better utilized. So they got to say, hey, guys,
you got to do better. But they don't also want
to be in a position where there is antaganism, because
really just about saving and helping people, right, So, you know,
getting that ground truth out. It's a little bit of
a of a there's some delicate aspects to it right
(06:10):
now for.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
The people on the front lines.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That was I thought that was interesting perspective, and you're
seeing it now and you saw from the air what
an absolute mess all this is. I also think it's
very clear that because the because the Biden administration is
in charge of the federal government, and because of the
demographics of the areas that are most affected, the national
(06:35):
news media is completely uninterested, disinterested take your pick in
what is going on here. I mean, you go at
the you know, you go at the front page of
a lot of news sites right now that are pro
Kamala or pro Democrat in this election, and they might
(06:55):
have some minor news item on what's going on in Helene,
but much more about the Wall's manliness tour, and which
we'll talk about because that's gonna be fun. And Kamala
Harris doing just fine, even though ever knows she's not
doing well at all the hurricane. The hurricane is politicized
through the news coverage and also the lack of interest
from the coastal media elite.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So you're seeing it firsthand.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I expected Buck based on the way that people had
been covering it. Now to see massive amounts of governmental
resources from the air being deployed, I didn't see that,
And I saw a destruction that is mind boggling to
think about in terms of how long it's going to
(07:41):
take to have some of these communities recover. We're not
talking about months, We're talking about years of rebuild all
through these areas. And again, I just didn't see that
many government resources. I mean, when you come through Ashville
in the air buck, there are still massive cars just
(08:02):
in the river that have been swept away, washed away.
I mean when you see some of these dams. First
of all, the dams got overtopped, that is, the water
was coming right over the top of the dams, and
many different of these regions there is massive amount of
debris that I don't even know how they're going to
(08:23):
be able to get all of that debris out, the
likes of which I've never seen before. And again, we're
gonna be posting videos that I want you guys to
be able to see because frankly, I haven't seen a
lot of these videos. I haven't seen a lot of
people up in the air. The other thing is I
thought there would be a tremendous amount of helicopter traffic
because to a large extent, the airport is not usable
(08:45):
in Asheville and many of these roads and bridges are
washed out. Our helicopter pilot said it had been very
busy with the number of helicopters. I saw four we
flew over all these communities. I think I saw four
or five total helicop in the hour and a half
two hours that we were in the air coming in
this direction to be able to see everything. So it's
(09:07):
not going to be FEMA or the United States government
based on what I saw that gets this area back
up and running. It's going to be a lot of
rednecks to your point, Buck with chainsaws, a lot of
good guys and gals that live in this area and
are coming in from other regions doing their hardest work
to try to get all of these people back up
(09:29):
on their feet. And let me be clear too, it's
a beautiful region and this is typically Buck when a
lot of people flood into this area probably a poor
choice of words, they're in flood, but so many people
come in and to see the leaves changing, right, I mean,
so there's a huge industry here that basically is not
going to be able to make the money that it
(09:50):
usually does. And a lot of people use the money
that they make during the leaf changing season to get
them through the winter and be able to take care
of their families. So it's not just the natural destruction,
it's that the tourism industry that generally fuels much of
this area is not going to be able to uh
to have its normal actions, which is going to put
(10:11):
its own strain on. But remember Kamala is going to
give people seven hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Look, I have in laws with a They have a
vacation rental property in Lake Lore, which is the downtown
is gone. So you can imagine there's not going to
be the same kind of ability to, to your point,
monetize and have that economy going. It's a tourism based economy,
(10:35):
and when you have no roads and no water and
all the disaster stuff that we have still what we're
still seeing, that's a very difficult situation economically for everyone there.
I just would point out, if you're wondering who is
getting the blame for any frustration over the Hellene recovery efforts,
(10:56):
MSNBC coming in coming in hot here, Clay, this is
the main story.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
On the website right now. I'm not going look, this
is the biggest story.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Trump thinks Americans have forgotten how bad his.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Hurricane relief efforts were.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So I just when people are saying things like don't
politicize it, what they're actually saying is shut up, we
know we're doing a bad job. At Donald Trump is
hitler and nothing else matters. I mean, that's what the
new that's where the news media is that wants Kamla
to win. We're a few weeks away from election day,
and I don't think that there's if they had I
don't think there's any way for them to make a
(11:33):
clear case that what they are doing is effective and
has been a display of the competency of the federal
government at this level. And just like again talking to
this contact who's doing some of the rescues there, why
would the federal government suddenly be good at this Look
at the look at the federal government's been like the
(11:54):
last four years.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
What in what world would it be normal for us
to say.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know what, this Biden team, they they've really got
their act together.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Efficiency, Mission focus, no politics.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
We would have to be living in an alternate universe
for that to be true, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And let me just say they say they don't want
to make anything political. Well, we've got an election in
three weeks, and based on what I saw, there are
going to be tens of thousands. I would bet fewer
people who are able to vote in western North Carolina
than would have voted if this storm hadn't happened, and
or if there had been a fully robust government response
(12:33):
able to get people back on their feet as fast
as they possibly could. And this is an overwhelming Trump
voting region. The population in western North Carolina in all
of these impacted counties. Yes, Ashville has a little blue dot,
but overwhelmingly if you look at the number of voters,
Trump is being impacted more significantly in terms of votes.
(12:56):
You heard David Axelrod talk about it. This is a
real deal. And in a state that was decided by
seventy thousand votes. If you live in another part of
North Carolina and you are listening to us right now,
you need to show up and vote because a lot
of people here I don't think are going to be
able to buck. A lot of people got relocated, They're
living in a different location than they otherwise would, their
(13:18):
homes are completely lost, and voting is the last thing
on their minds, which you can well understand given how
much of a devastated region this is. And I just
think it's going to be consequential in terms of the
overall outcome in North Carolina. And I think you would
have to be wearing blinders not to recognize that. And
(13:40):
does it make you ask the question, if these were
die hard Kamala Harris and Joe Biden supporters, would the
federal government response have been better, faster, and more productive. Yeah,
I think it would have been. I have that opinion
now having flown in and seen this.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That's why seeing with your own eyes is so important.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
And this is a part of the conversation Clay that
I have to say. I mean, I know it's tough
to see what you're seeing, and your heart goes out
to all the people that are affected. But we need
ground truth on this issue because we do haven't. First
of all, we need to get people the help that
they need, and that can only happen with public attention
on the ifact right and with the media disinterested for
(14:21):
political and other reasons, by the way, but mostly political reasons.
There isn't the focus on this issue. And then there's
also the accountability of we have an election coming up,
the people in charge are incompetent right now. Let's get
a better regime. Let's get a better government, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm in North Carolina right now, as you guys can
hear and will continue to discuss. And I'm at the
Ashville affiliate here WWNC, and I want to give them
a tremendous amount of credit. These guys have been working
here for fifteen straight days since this storm started. Many
of them slept here on the ground to be able
to keep this radio up and running, and the radio
(14:59):
station was one of the few places where people could communicate.
We've talked about the need for you to have battery
powered radios if there's crisis in your place, of importance
of AM radio in general, but also buck if you
want to be able to communicate. You know this because
you have family in this area. Your sister in law
was able to communicate on rapid radios. They commute. They
operate on a nationwide LTE network, not a cell phone,
(15:23):
but it can connect you with family members and friends
far away with a one touch connection, no subscription costs
or monthly fees. Rapid radios provide true walkie talkie ease
with all the connectivity and technology of today. And look,
I could talk right now with a single touch of
the button on my rapid radio. I can talk to
(15:44):
Bucky's in LA. We can talk across the entire nation
right now. These are great for needing in an emergency situation.
And for a limited time you can go to rapid

Speaker 1 (16:27):
We've got speaker Johnson talking about how FEMA is sitting
on a pile of cash.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Was it a mistake to leave and adjoin the Congress
for the campaign trail without addressing more disaster relief funding
given the circumstances that we now find ourselves in.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Well, the fact is, I think many people have not
fully understood, is that we did address it, and we
did appropriate twenty billion additional dollars to FEMA with early
drawdown authorities. So they're sitting on a giant pile of
cash and they haven't used it yet. As of Monday
of this week, by administration had only sent out about
(17:08):
one percent of those dollars. It only distributed one percent,
So there's plenty of money to address the immediate needs.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Claig and I just note, on the one hand, Democrat
media says, don't politicize Helene. On the other hand, anything
going wrong with Helene is the fault of Republicans. Oh okay, interesting, Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Again I would just come back to you don't want
to politicize it, but there is an election in three weeks,
and if people can't go vote because you've done such
an awful job of trying to get them back on
their feet, that's the very essence of political interference.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
But I think we should politicize it. Actually it's political.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So you know, there is a time for politics, and
I think right now is one of those times.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Look, Democrats have an awful situation right now with men.
We're going to have some fun with some of their
outreach to men of late. It ain't going well. But
if you want to do well with men, one thing
you could do is be pro testosterone and pro men
with testosterone. That's what Chalk does every single day. They
will get you more energy if you're filming a little
bit tired as you get into Friday, a lot going on.
(18:13):
They're best sellers the Male Vitality Stack, lead ingredient proven
in studies to replenish twenty percent of diminished testosterone levels
in men within three months. Chalk manufacturers right here in
the good old USA. They are based in Texas with
our friend Seaton, and you can get hooked up and
put some testosterone back in your life. All you have
to do is go to cchoq dot com, use my
(18:34):
name play for a massive discount on any subscription for life.
You can also call or text five zero chalk three thousand.
Now say Clay and Bucks sent me. That's five zero
chalk three thousand. They will hook you up put some
testosterone back in your life with Chalk. Later in this show,
(18:59):
we will play the Kamala Harris outreached him in through
tim walls and through really failed advertisements. But Buck, you
know things are getting bad for Kamala when they put
Barack Obama out on the campaign trail and he tells
black men that they should be shamed in devoting for
(19:20):
Kamala Harris because some of them are not voting for
her because she's a woman. This is cut three.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy
and turnout in all quarts of our neighborhoods at good musicians.
So now I also want to say that that seems
to be more pronounced with the brothers.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
All right, fuck, what do you think the odds are
that Black men who are not interested in voting for
Kamala are now going to hear Barack Obama lecturing them
and saying basically they're misogynistic, their sexist for not supporting
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Enough.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Does this help or hurt overall blackmail turnout?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I think it has. I think it has really no effect.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I think that the Democrats at this stage they've changed,
They've changed their approach with Kamala enough times that we're
we're in the final stretch, and I think this is
a let the let the chips fall where they may
part of it.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I think that there's not much that they can do
because the over they they've shifted the overall narrative a
few times, and they've they've actually moved away from well
first of all, having her hide from the media and
now having her do a media blitz, having her be
this candidate who was bragging about how she was so
(20:55):
involved and doing, you know, and so central to the
four years of bud into now well, actually she says
she wouldn't change anything, but also she's a change candidate, Clay,
none of it makes any sense.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
The only why for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Harris at this point, the only reason people have to
vote for her is you're a Democrat who votes Democrat,
which is a vast majority of the votes that she's
going to get, and or you just absolutely hate Donald Trump.
There's really very little that you could even say about
what this campaign is, which is also unsurprising because it's
only been a few months.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean, they really thought that they could just spring
up a.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Campaign out of nowhere effectively, and that it would resonate,
and that you know, campaigns go through, you know, go
through phases, iterations, messaging, things catch on. I mean, you
look at someone like Trump, right with Trump, it's what's
everyone cheering at my rallies what gets people excited when
I come to see them, and there's that real time
(21:53):
learning process with Kamalo. What are they even trying to do, Clay,
we'll talk more about this. The push for masculine voters
for Kamala that they're doing right now. I don't know
what to say. They have to find somebody at Tim
Walls was the first effort at this. He's he's doing
a media blitz right now himself Good Morning America, which
(22:15):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Still existed with Michael Strahan. What else is he doing?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He's going pheasant hunting with social media. Of course, of
course I'm.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Gonna shoot some birds.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You know now, now the fact that you were tampon,
Tim who was putting tampon's in the boys' bathrooms in schools,
totally normal because you went pheasant hunting. There's a few
other things. On Friday night lights at Mankato West you
probably what is that?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I think that's the high school that he coached at.
So they're going to a high school football game in
Minnesota to try to be like, hey, we're football guys.
He's but he got cooked by Michael Strahan, which I
did not anticipate Straighthn actually questioned him pretty aggressively. Buck.
But when you have to call out Barack Obama to
try to shame black guys into voting for Kamala, Harris,
(23:03):
your campaign has got major trouble.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I mean, it's one thing.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
If Barack Obama's going out and they're like trying to
convince Philadelphia housewives who like Barack Obama to show up
and vote for Kamala. But when you've got Barack Obama
basically lecturing black men that they need to support Kamala,
those numbers internally must be a disaster.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
There is no question that she is losing right now.
And if she was here's how you know this. If
she wasn't losing, you would be hearing about how she's winning.
And I know that seems so straightforward, but it's true.
If she wasn't behind, clearly, they'd all be saying, you know,
the Kamala momentum and look at what a great campaign
(23:46):
she's been running. Because I know people say, oh, but
maybe they're trying to play possum and make it seem
like you know less, you know, like she's doing less
well than she is, because that'll lull us into a
false sense of security. The truth is, you want your
people motivated and mobilized, right You want people want to
(24:07):
vote for a winner. They want to vote for the
team that they think has a real shot and is
going to come out on top. They don't want to
hear that like we're getting our butts kicked. Can you
please show up and do something for us? And that's
essentially the narrative that you're seeing all this week about
where things stand with Kamal Haarrisman. I don't think that
she is in any way at a place where she
(24:30):
could say that this has well. I think it's been
the worst week of the campaign, which a lot of
people have been saying because it's so obvious and the
commercial do we have that you need?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
The thing is I don't really want to play.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Maybe we'll put it up on clanbuck dot com the
latest Kamala Masculinity commercials, so people can go easily find it.
I think you shared it on your Twitter. I'll probably
respond to it because you need the visuals.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
But a couple of these guys they have Look, I'm
not a big Broadway guy, so I'm not trying to
pick on show tunes, but a couple of like, I'm
so masculine, like look at me in my lumberjack shirt.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Guys they've got.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'm like, they look like they're fabulous, and they're gonna
be doing show tunes like they they come across as
not the masculine avatars that they need to pretend support Koma.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Do you know they can't even get the optics of this, right,
is my point.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
They can't even make it seem like they know what
they're talking about at the most basic level.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yes, And I would.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Just come back to the analogy I started the week
with when we found out Kamala was doing sixty minutes,
Call Her Daddy, the View, Stephen Colbert, all of these
and now they've got Tim Walls doing interviews. They are
trying to change their game plan with about twenty three
twenty four days until the election. And whenever you do that,
(25:48):
it is a sign that your numbers are really, really bad.
And I think what this is gonna do, Buck, It
just exposes or even more, which is what they've tried
to hide. And I think within a week you will
start to see even before the election, some Democrats will
be coming out and saying to your credit, what you
said and what we argued for this on the show
(26:08):
while back. Yeah, switching to Kamala was a mistake. We
should have or they should have done some sort of
many primary yes and try to pick somebody else, because
their pick would not have been Kamala if they had
been able to rig it like they did when Hillary
was the pick, like they did when Biden was the pick,
this thing would not have been rigged for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I you know this Bob Woodward book just came out,
which you know, it says things Trump says.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's not true. You know, Woodward crafts this narrative.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
He's a huge Democrat, hates Trump, crafts this narrative of
anonymous sources to write this narrative that you know, how
could he know?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Is he even in the room? Hey put that aside
for a second.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I know, Watergate, Nxon whatever, Like that's the most important
thing that's happened to the history of the Republic is
getting Richard Nixon out of office. But Clay, you know
there's a part where he talks about Biden sitting down
with Blinken.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I read some of the excerpts. I mean, I'm not
reading the whole book.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But Biden's sitting down with Blinken right before Biden bowed out,
and Biden wasn't bowing out to be just so everyone
understands like this is now it is now confirmed. Well,
I mean, as much as you believe would work. But
I don't think he would lie about this. I mean,
I think he does have good sourcing in the Biden
White House. I think it's the Trump attacks where we
have to say, what's the motivation here? But Clay, like
(27:22):
two days a day, maybe before Biden actually put out
that tweet and stepped down.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
He was staying in because he knew. He knew that
Kamala can't win. This is what this is what I
was saying the whole time. I'm like, this is insane.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I mean, maybe I'll a'll take the biggest humble pie
ever after this election if I'm wrong on this one.
But why would after that debate performance, the notion that
Joe Biden even for one day, Clay stayed where he
was without saying, guys, I'm too old.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
It's not because Joe just thought he was so sharp
and great and his egomaniac.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
It's more I think he realized Kamala can't do this buck.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
On the day that he dropped out, they had all
the campaign surrogates going on the Sunday morning talk show
saying he wasn't going to drop out. So this idea
that somehow it was a gracious exit and it was
well planned and well orchestrated. He posted a statement on
Twitter Sunday afternoon, and remember he had to post a
second one to say that he was endorsing Kamala. I
(28:23):
think the answers that he's given to the DeSantis Kamala
hurricane questions have indicated that he's looking at this polling,
he seeing the results, and his response when Kamala loses
is going to be I would have won. That's going
to be his legacy that they forced him out and
they were wrong, and they're the reason Trump won.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
The betrayal of Biden.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
You can almost see it as a wing at the
Biden presidential library, the betrayal of Biden. I think that
that's very likely where we're heading here, But I know
there's weeks left. We know that it's going to be
pretty close, although it's looking close with each possible day
right now, but it's still going to be close. I
think in the end we'll take some of your calls
on this and also, Clay, we're going to have your
(29:08):
guests right from the station in Ashville, from the iHeart.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Value, exactly what it was like here over the last
fifteen days. They have been live on air, they've been
taken calls. It's going to be I think, really compelling
radio for you to hear the story about what the
experience was like here for people in Nashville over the
past two weeks.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
And you know, one of the things that Democrats are
absolutely counting on in this election, I think more than
really anything else is abortion. It is the central commandment
of the Democrat Party these days. That maybe and hating Trump.
And the truth is, as we know, abortion is still
practice in terrible numbers, especially in blue states, but all
(29:49):
over the country. And so while we're trying to change
hearts and minds and eventually laws about this to protect life,
what can be done to save lives today to help
convince people to embrace the mere miracle of the tiny baby.
Moms embrace the miracle of the tiny baby growing inside them.
That's where preborn comes in. Preborn has been doing this
for years and they're doing it right now today as
(30:11):
I speak to you. They step in to help moms
who are having a crisis pregnancy, a difficult decision to face,
and give them the love, support and direction that they
need to give life to their tiny baby. The critical
part of this process is the ultrasound, because when that
ultrasound happens and mom meets the tiny baby growing inside
(30:32):
her womb, overwhelmingly the choice is for life.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It's left up to mom at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
But once that godly connection has been made between mother
and child, then the chances are so much higher. But
they need your help right now. You the pro life
community for Preborn to continue the work that they do.
The Team of Preborn saves the lives of approximately two
hundred babies each day, and they've saved three hundred thousand
(30:58):
babies lives over the past twenty years. You can donate today,
please do. Each ultrasound costs Preborn just twenty eight dollars.
If you can donate that amount, or even five times
that amount one hundred and forty dollars, you'd be contributing
to saving the lives of unborn babies right now. Using

Speaker 3 (31:37):
I've got a cup of it? Does you watching?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I don't have my cool mug, but our own Craig
Kitchenclay felt bad for me because I didn't have my
Crockett coffee yesterday, so he brought a coffee maker into
the studio along with Crockett coffee so I can have
the good stuff so I don't drink some commie swill
and end up like one of these guys in a
Kamala Harris Masculinity ad or whatever they're calling them now.
(32:03):
So I just say, yes, Kyacoffee dot com, that's what
you need.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You need.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
You don't want to end up in one of these
comala ads.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
They're like, yeah, I like guns and muscles and show tunes.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I mean, it's it's a little weird what they've got
going on.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It reminds me, but not in a funny way of
remember forty year old Virgin when he starts talking about
how he likes women's body parts and everybody just starts
getting like really uncomfortable because it's clear that he hasn't
ever been around a woman. And that's kind of how
I would say men who are pretending to vote for
(32:39):
Kamala are when it comes to their masculinity, they are
very divorced from what it is to be a man,
unlike our Crocket Coffee drinkers who are loaded with masculinity.
And also, by the way, you can get a copy
of my book if you use the code book at
Crocket Coffee dot com. I want to know how much
how much would you have to get paid to appear
(33:00):
in a men for Kamala ad?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Is there a dollar retirement retirement level money? Like it
would have to be like I never have to work again.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
You would you would just never be able to be
seen again, like you would do the ad and then
you would just vanish.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I'm actually surprised by this, I guess because they want
to appeal to the folks, you know as democrats, the folks.
But I think that the obvious move, the more obvious move,
would be to have you know, one of these one
of these actors who's taking like, you know, a thousand
milligrams of testosterone a week and some HGH or whatever
is super jacked, at least while they're making the movie,
(33:38):
and they tell everybody they just like have a great
trainer and do pushups. Have one of them come forward
and be like, oh, like I am Thor and like
I love Kamala Harris. You know, but I guess they
want they don't want the Hollywood elite thing, so instead
they've got these guys like That's what I thought they
would do for the masculinity problem, but maybe that would
seem too phony to them, so instead they have guys
who are coming forward. I mean, I'll you know, are
(33:58):
on Ryan Gradusky said this in response to this ad
on X on Twitter. He's like, could they find somebody
who doesn't seem like they have a testosterone deficiency to
be the exemplar of masculinity.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
That's a fair point.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I don't know why they can't get this right, but
I think maybe they've just so many of the guys
in the Democrat Party have been so just hectored by
feminists that they're terrified.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I don't know, you're not.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
A football guy, but it always makes me laugh when
they do football and they have people who can't throw
a football who are actors. There's all these viral clips
of guys that just can't throw a football. It's like
they've never had a football in their hand and ever
thrown it. And they're trying to play the star quarterback
or whatever, and they're just at practice and they're like
throwing a football and you watch it and you say
(34:48):
that dude has never thrown a football before in his
whole life, Like his body at language is all.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He's, you know, twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Years old, playing a high school or college kid, and
he's never thrown a football in his whole life. This
ad feels like that they thought, hey, what do men
like to do? They have a random guy on the
bench press, they have a guy standing by a horse,
and I think it's supposed to be somewhat satire, but
it's not funny enough to be satire, and it just
(35:14):
comes off as you have no idea what actual normal guys.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Are like that might as well. They might as well
have like a borod appearance. He's like, I have a big, strong,
metaling chest. It's like, what are you doing? Where are
these ads coming from?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
This makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
And also, by the way, the pivot, have you ever
heard a man say, you know, I'm a man, and
I strongly believe in a woman's right to choose. I've
never had that conversation ever occur. I know a lot
of men, and I'm not saying that people don't have
a variety of opinions on abortion. That conversation has never occurred. Now,
I think men might know what to guys trying to
sleep with.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Yeah, you know what guys who support abortion say, Yeah,
I support abortion.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
They actually don't say I support a women's right to
choose bodily autonomy, Like that's not how it goes.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
And usually they say it after four v years at
the bar with a girl they're trying to take home.
You know, I'm a big I'm a big abortion guy.
Just just so you know, big abortion guy, you're gonna
hop on hop at the garden head home with me.
I mean a lot of this is total bs designed
to pick up chicks. When it comes to what guys
say about politics, Just FYI, especially single guys, and.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Tell everybody about our guests coming up here from a
studio with you.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, look, we're going to talk. These guys slept for
fifteen days off and on inside of this studio. I
who was here for the whole time is gonna come
in and talk about it. From ww NC five seventy
Am and Ashville. You're gonna absolutely love the story that
he's gonna tell us that is next. What's actually going
on here,
