Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We are taping this segment just so you know. I
wanted to make sure you could all hear from him
because the battleground state of Pennsylvania is so incredibly important
and the guy that you need to make sure that
you are the next Senator from Pennsylvania is Dave McCormick.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I am going to hop a flight as.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Soon as we are done with the radio show today,
fly to State College, PA. I'm going to be with
this man tomorrow helping to rally voters. And it's a
fun place to be doing it too, with the Ohio
State penn State.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Game going on.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
He joins us now the next Senator we hope from Pennsylvania.
If you guys, get out and vote. Dave McCormick, how.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Is it going.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What are you seeing on the ground. It seems like Pennsylvania.
Whoever wins Pennsylvania for the presidency is going to be
the president, and may well be the case that whoever
wins the Senate race is going to control the Senate.
Pennsylvanians have a lot in their hands. What are you
seeing out there, Dave, Hey.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Clay, thanks so much for having me. Can't wait to
hang out with you to night and tomorrow. It's going
to be an incredible game. Penn State, Ohio State be
It's going to be epic, And you know, I'm feeling
great enthusiasm on the ground. Honestly, I think what you're
seeing is this, the polls have closed dramatically and at
the top of the ticket. I think the more people
see of Kamala Harris, the more energy you see. But
(01:19):
behind President Trump, and it's really an election that's about
strength versus weakness, and the common sense policies of President
Trump versus this radical liberal agenda van fracking, you know,
legalize the legal immigration, defund the police, mandatory buybacks of
your guns. So I think that's why you see President
Trump gaining steam. And in my case, it's a race
(01:42):
between change that I represent and the status quo from
Bob Casey's a career politician, thirty years in elected office,
votes ninety eight point six percent of time with Biden Harris,
and then voted for all these crazy policies sanctuary cities,
defunding the police, boys competing women's sports. He's just out
of touch with Pennsylvania. And that's why I think you've
(02:05):
seen the polls close. I think all the polling suggests
that President Trump is tied or gaining some momentum and
maybe a bit in the lead. And the same with me,
and I think we're going to have a great day
on November fifth. But we've got to get people. For
your listeners, We've got to get every single voter out there.
Tell your friends, you know ten people, ten people, ten people.
(02:28):
Get those people on the fence. This election really is
the most important one of our lifetimes.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You mentioned something that I think is important. Pennsylvania is
where Leah Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania swimmer, what came
from and swim against Riley Gaines. This is a man
who swam on the University of Pennsylvania swim team, then
flipped and decided to swim as a woman on the
University of Pennsylvania women's team one in the NCAA Championship.
(02:54):
Now we employ Riley Gaines at out Kicks. She's done
a phenomenal job. University of Kentucky swimmer who just said
this is wrong. I'm not going to stand for this.
She's been all over the place. Your opponent, Senator Bob
Casey in Pennsylvania said he supported this. I mean by
itself that to me feels disqualifying to be representing the
state of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It really is. It just shows you how extreme the
Democratic Party has become. And Bob Casey, listen, he you know,
I don't know what he was like eighteen years ago,
but he went to the Senate saying he was going
to change Washington, and Washington changed Bob Casey, and he's
now completely out of step with Pennsylvania. And I have
campaigned with Paula Scanlon, who was a teammate of Leah
Thomas and so had to be in the locker room.
(03:39):
You know, was depressed by University of Pennsylvania. She's this
great athlete.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I know her well, She's done fabulous work. She is
not sorry to cut you off, but for people who
don't know her, she was having to be a teammate
in the locker room with a man.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
It's just hard to imagine. And you know, when I
sat down with her and talked to about this, it
was even though I had read about it, it was
so far beyond what was, you know, imaginable. And this
just shows you how crazy an extreme the Democratic Party
has become. And you know, listen. There's so many issues
to talk about directless spending that's led to inflation, but
(04:19):
the wide open border is probably the thing that I
hear the most about these days. In the following sense.
We got a huge fentanyl crisis across our country and
in Pennsylvania. Clay four thousand Pennsylvanias. Last year I sat
down with a bunch of fentanyl families with my wife.
We talked about the kid, the kids, the beautiful children
(04:41):
they lost. It's like somebody reached down your throat and
pulled your heart out when you hear these stories, and
most of them didn't know they were taking fentanyl. And
this is the cartels. Coming across the wide open border
takes twenty four forty eight seventy two hours, and that fentanyl,
through their distribution network is in Pennsylvania and it's ravaging
(05:01):
our communities. We lost one hundred and sixteen thousand people
last year in America, which is twice the number we
lost in Vietnam and eight years we had two Vietnams
last year, and Bob Casey has done nothing. He's voted
against the border wall, he's voted against four sanctuary cities,
voted against funding for the border patrol. This is the
(05:21):
kind of thing where you need strong leadership. And you know,
if I'm in the Senate on day one, I'll support
President Trump and the law and securing the border, but
I'll also support designating the Cartels is a terrorist organization
and using our military very thoughtfully strategically, our drones, our
special operations to take out these manufacturing facilities from the cartels,
(05:45):
the distribution networks. This is a war that is ravaging
our children, and Bob Casey's done nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
You have six daughters. Yesterday was Halloween. I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I won't add for specific names, but you probably had
to meet a few boyfriends over the years. What is
it like to have six daughters? To be a dad
and be in Joe? I can't even imagine. I've got
three boys. I can't imagine what six daughters is like.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Man, we feel blessed. We've got a blended family. And
so they're twenty four to eighteen. And I say to people, listen,
when you've had sixteenage daughters at one time, politics it
seems easy, you know, politics easy compared to six teenage daughters.
And they are a joy for us and We're so
proud of them, and they're proud of their dad for
(06:35):
running or their stepdad for running, and have been very supportive.
But you see that these political campaigns are tough on families,
and you know, you really got to put yourself in
the arena. And my wife Dina has been an incredible
partner and supporter in this. But you only do it
because you think the country is going in the wrong direction.
(06:57):
You think you can make a difference. So you know,
you and I have talked about West Point, where I
learned the notion of duty on our country, and that
is why I'm running because I think our amazing exceptional
nations at risk. I think we're going to wake up
and not recognize the country we have for for those
six daughters, for your for your three boys, unless we
(07:19):
change direction. And that's uh, that's why we need strong, strong,
common sense leadership in the Senate and the White House.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Have you seen You may not have because you've got
a billion things going on. You went to West Point.
They are playing, I believe against Air Force this weekend.
They have skull crossbone helmets this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Army does that is how badass are those.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It's pretty bad it's pretty badass. Listen, this will be
a huge game. I mean, I'm so proud of the
Army team. They're they're great. This year, Navy's done great.
This year to the Army Navy game is going to
be incredible. And uh, you know, we have a great tradition.
You talked about those six daughters, but we have this
great tradition that the game's usually Philadelphia's. They've lost that
for the last couple of years, but we take them
to Philadelphia every year for the Army Navy game, and
(08:06):
I insist Clay of getting them up early on Saturday morning,
and we do the Rocky Run, which they shine. We
do the Rocky Ride, We end at the Art Museum
where you run the steps, and I make them sing
the Rocky song and there's lots of complaining, but they're
always happy they did it. And then we take them
to that game, and you know, I've done I've gone
(08:27):
that game, you know, I don't know thirty times, probably
twenty five thirty times. And it never stops ever from
me getting a little misty at the end when both
teams stand at attention to sing the others alma mater.
The winning teams alma mater is sent is sung last.
And you know, Dean always says the great thing about
(08:49):
that game, no matter who wins, Army or Navy, America
always wins because it's such an incredible rivalry of brothers
in arms who are committed to the ending our country
and one another, despite hell of a rivalry between the two.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I've been fortunate enough to go to those games several
times now, and if you are a sports fan or
just an American who appreciates American history, it is something
that should one hundred percent be on the bucket list.
Speaking of the bucket list, a lot of people would
like to be going to the game that you and
I are going to be going to tomorrow, Ohio State
Penn State. We're going to be tailgating. It's the biggest,
(09:28):
best game of the day. Fox is big. Noon is
going to be there. College Game Day is going to
be there. Kicks off at noon Eastern from Happy Valley.
For people who want to see where we are going
to be tailgating all those things, what can you tell them?
I know we're going to be out bright and early
several hours because again tailgate is at noon. I mean
(09:49):
the kickoff is at noon Eastern, so it's an.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Early kick you're beginning at nine.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
We're in LOP forty one.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
You're going to see me because my big McCormick campaign
bus is there, and it's red, light blue and camouflage.
It's got a it's got an eight foot picture of
my face on it, which which my wife said to me,
you got to have a hell of an ego to
have an eight foot picture. So we're excited about it.
It's gonna be a great turnout. We're gonna have I'm
(10:14):
sure many hundreds of students and play the thing I'm hearing.
You know, I don't know if if you feel the
same way when you go to campuses, but uh, I
feel you know, campuses have traditionally leaned much more democrat
for young folks, and man, I feel a lot of
support around young people. I've done a number of college events,
a number of sporting events. I feel a lot of
(10:37):
young people that are deeply worried about their future, who
want to save the country and have the kind of
American opportunity that you and I have had. And and
I'm seeing a lot of energy on campuses. So we'll
see that tomorrow morning and then we're going to see
an epic game and uh, you know, let's go go
penn State. Go line.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, I like Penn State to win and cover by
the way for the gamblers there Lot forty one. I
will be with him the next Senator from the great
state of Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick. If you are going to
be at that game, we'll even welcome Ohio State fans
to come by and say hi, yes as well.

Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and they do
a lot of it with the Sunday Hang Join Clay
and Buck as they lap it up in the Clay
and Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
We have in just a few minutes a really infant
conversation coming up. We'll be talking to Justin Wells. He
was Tucker Carlson's longtime executive producer at Fox News, now
the producer of a new documentary series Art of the Surge. Clay,
I'm sure you know this. He was not just president
(13:31):
in Butler, Pennsylvania. He was right next to the stage
as the bullets were flying at President Trump and hit
him in the ear. As we know, we'll talk to
him about that documentary and what it's been like to
be on this campaign trail. Let's speaking of the campaign,
you know, Clay, I'm generally not one for celebrity endorsements
(13:52):
as a rule. We all say that, and then of
course somebody will come forward who's on our side, and
I'm like, I love that guy, and you know, that
I like thisbrity endorsement, So I gotta be honest, right,
I mean, you know, like I say this and I'm like,
but well then, but see, I think it's a little different.
Like James Woods, for example, very fine actor, just also
really really strong Twitter game. You know, it's not even
(14:13):
just that he's an actor who's on our side. He's
also really good on Twitter. So I feel like he's
earned his political stripes in a sense. And there's others
as well who I would put into that category. But anyway,
I'm generally not one for celebrity endorsements, but j Loo
has weighed in on behalf of Kamala Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
This is and she's a little teary eyed. This is
what it sounded like.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
I promised myself I wouldn't get emotional, but you know what,
you know what, we should be emotional. We should be upset,
we should be scared and outraged. We should our pain matters.
We matter, You matter, your voice and your vote matters.
(14:56):
And look, don't be afraid to make people around you uncomfortable.
Invite people around you to be the change, to.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Go out there and vote.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Nobody likes having tough conversations or talking about politics. But
trust me, I've been in some of these rooms. I
see the way power works in this country. They love
it when you do nothing. And this election is about
your life. It's about you and me and my kids
and your kids. Don't make it easy, make them pay
(15:27):
attention to you.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I mean, first of all, I don't even know what
she's saying. But also I don't think I'm gonna take.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Decision making advice from P Diddy's ex girlfriend when it
comes to the president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, also I would look, I don't ever think it
will happen, but I would really like to have j
Low on the show here in the wake of this endorsement,
or Lebron James or Mark Cuban and really talk to
them about why they believe Kamma is the right choice,
(16:00):
and not have them engage in historyonics or emotions, but
just logically, why do you think Kamala is going to
be great at making decisions based on anything she's ever
done in her entire career. I just it's one thing
to not like Trump, and I understand some of you
out there don't like Trump, but at some point, the
(16:21):
adult in you should if you are a rational, logical
human being, sit down and maybe you got Like I
sit with a yellow legal pad every show, and I'm
big on when I have to make a decision both
in my head and a lot of times fit physically,
I will write out a pro con list. Hey, let
me try to make this decision. What am I thinking about?
What am I missing? Go through it? What is the
(16:43):
pro Kamala argument other than she's not Trump? I mean
to me, that is the question that none of these
people can answer. And if they did answer, Buck, I
think they would say, well, Trump is going to be
a dictator or Trump is going to and it's an
emotional thing and you actually push back and there's no
depth there.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
I think that there's a broad recognition now on both
sides that you are, in a lot of ways voting.
As we've said before, Clay, it's like you're voting for
the company, the brand, but not really the CEO. I
think Trump is an exception to that, although he also
is a political brand and a movement. I think that
(17:22):
people who want Trump in office want him actually making
the decisions. I think that for Democrats all that matters
is a Democrat is in office, because Let's be honest.
Whether it's kamalaw or Joe Biden, or Gavin Newsom or
Gretchen Whitmer, you're getting the same policies. The machine, the
Democrat machine, determines what's going to come out of DC. Right,
(17:47):
So you know that's the most rational explanation for it
that I can give. What you said, though, I think
is more the case, which is, if we don't defeat Trump,
it's the end of the country and you'll start crying.
Clinton aren't going to cry over this, all right? I
don't know, no matter what happens on Tuesday, I promise
you We're not gonna cry. Also, got to keep making
efforts to stay up to date on what's going on
(18:07):
with Wall Street. Look no further than the insight of
a true Wall Street veteran who's made a bold announcement
as it relates to next Friday, a week from today.
He sees an investment opportunity made available by changes happening
in the markets on Friday, November eighth and afterwards. This
is a guy with deep experience on Wall Street. He
thinks next Friday will open the biggest rapid fire money
(18:28):
making opportunity of his fifty year career. In short, a
disconnect in the stock market has opened a way to
spot potential buyings, freeze on five thousand different stocks before
they occur, and it could double your portfolio. This individual
comes with gravitask. He recommended an AI stock ten years ago,
which would have made you thirty two thousand percent if
you'd bought and held. Go to Stocks twenty twenty five
(18:49):
dot com for details on how this strange new discovery
could double your portfolio over the next year. That's Stocks
twenty twenty five dot com. Everybody, We are joined by
Justin Wells, Tucker Carlson's longtime executive producer at Fox News.
Justin is now the producer of a new documentary series,
Art of the Surge, which you can watch on x
(19:10):
Justin welcome first time on the program.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Let's just start with this.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
I know you were doing a documentary about the Trump campaign.
Must have been amazing at various points, but then you
were there in Pennsylvania when the bullets were flying, and
I mean right there next to the stage.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yeah, we were very very close. Thanks d having me on.
You know, see you guys out all the time and
big fans. But anyway, Yeah, we were about fifteen feet
away over the presence left shoulder and Butler. We'd been
embedded with him for about a month at that point.
We started traveling everywhere with him. In June, you know,
he went down rather quickly. For a moment you thought
(19:52):
it was fireworks, and then obviously when you kind of
got a sense of what was happening in the area
and the Secret Service from the state, we realized what
was going on. But we were right there. The cameras
were rolling, and then we were with the campaign and
the area they called a buffer, which is just mostly
(20:13):
Secret Service agents and like a couple of still photographers,
and we watched it all unfold and then we documented
what happened in the minutes, you know, about the first
hour right after we worked the crime scene and tried
to get as close to what we could uncover as possible.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So, justin what has the response been of the for
the documentary so far? And I know, I think I
know I'm in it because you were in the press
box when I did my interview with Georgia Alabama and
then I did an interview with you guys. I've heard
from a bunch of people who've already seen it. But
what would you hope that they take away from the
documentary so far?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I think the most interesting thing about this documentary in particular,
everyone debates the politics of Donald Trump and the way
he messaged things or whatnot. You know, you've got Liz
Cheney right now calling him a dictator or not. I
my perspective is, if he's a dictator, then why is
he letting us fall him around with a camera, unfiltered
and completely unvarnished show exactly how he interacts with his team,
(21:18):
how he interacts with the media, you know, the highs
and the lows. So what we try to do is
not bring politics into it. You know, we're not like
getting into the nitty gritty of how he feels about
abortion or even immigration. We're actually seeing how he operates
as a manager, and how he operates as a friend,
and how he operates as you know, a leader for
(21:40):
the American people. And that was our goal, is just
being there and catching those interactions, including the interaction with you,
and I think that's pretty powerful. So, you know, everyone
says he's up in the middle of the night raging,
tweeting or whatnot. And there's a scene in the fourth
episode where you see how that unfolds. He's getting the
perspective of people that work with him, and they're very
(22:01):
smart people around him, but it is all him. It
is his words. So you know, you kind of see
the way that Donald Trump works and operates, and I
don't think it's been done before with anyone running for
press for president in recent history.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
For sure, justin do you get the sense that despite
the seriousness, the sense of history, the life and death situations,
that overall in this campaign, Trump is having fun because
that seems to come across to a lot of people
that go to rallies and that do interviews with him,
like Tucker Off off stage. I mean, it comes across
to the viewer. What was it like behind the scenes.
(22:40):
Does he just love this stuff?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah? I was there with him in Phoenix yesterday. I
was there in New Mexico. You know, as he was
walking into the plane in New Mexico, you know, he
was he was decked out, and you know it's pretty
dramatic when he comes off Trump for one.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Nobody does that.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
But you know, he looked at us, gave us a
thumbs up, like you know, he was proud of the
that he was wearing for that moment, and like he's
always dancing backstage, even when he's not in front of
the crowds, he's he is having a good time. I
can only imagine I couldn't pull it off. I don't
know anyone that could. But his ability to just kind
of roll with it is uncanny. I mean, I you know,
(23:19):
I don't know if we'll ever see anyone that's capable
of doing that. You know, he's back there before he
takes the stage, editing his speeches, but he's not. In
many ways, he's just adding it to kind of just
add a little bit more not entertainment necessarily, but he's
he's making it more engaging, you know, as as anybody
that that's trying to communicate with with voters should be doing.
(23:43):
I can't imagine the person he's running against is doing
that backstage. I don't think she's written a single word
of her speeches. So you know, he's definitely engaged. She's not.
He is not exhausted or any of that. He's he's
back there having fun, shaking him, wanting to take pictures.
And you know we captured in the documentary firsthand, but
(24:06):
anybody that's kind of been around his orbit in the
last month or six months, has seen that out of
him for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Justin what about just the inexhaustible energy that Donald Trump
seems to possess, even at seventy nine years old. And
we Buck and I have been fortunate to see him
a lot behind the scenes, and we've talked about this,
but after one of our interviews at mar A Lago,
he insisted that he wanted us to have milkshakes. Our
wives were there too, and he wanted us to wait
(24:33):
because mar A Lago has the best milkshakes. What I
found that I'm curious, and we've seen him with his
grandchildren behind scenes. What I found, to mention you're earlier
analysis of dictatored him or whatnot, is that he's actually
a pretty likable, easy going guy outside of the public spotlight.
I'm curious if you saw that. And also to your point, Albuquerque, Phoenix,
(24:54):
the travel schedule is crazy for anybody. Are you, as
a much younger man sometimes like, how does he have
this inexhaustible supply of energy?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah, I can do it, and I can see a
lot of my friends being able to do that. I can.
You know, people in the media work long hours or whatnot.
But like you know, we all get exhausted after you know,
hours and hours grueling on something, but he just goes NonStop.
And you know, he was up yesterday at like six
in the morning, and then that was six in the
morning Eastern time, and then he wrapped up at I
(25:23):
think it was like ten thirty pm, you know, out
in Phoenix, you know, so that's that's three hours earlier.
So I mean, he's putting in these long days that
I've never seen anything like it. And he's he's the
one that's not done. You know, there are people around
him that are probably like, Okay, it's time to get
back to the plane at a hotel, and he's ready
to see more people, take more pictures, have more conversations,
(25:46):
and in those conversations, you know, the person you see
kind of on stage and specifically in the documentary is
the same person that people interact with. It's not an act.
He is very funny, He's extremely likable. Even if you
you know people, there's certain people that probably don't agree
(26:07):
with his politics, but if they actually got to know
him and actually knew what he was like as a person,
as a father, as the manager of the people that
work for him. I mean, I can't see how they
could compare him to Kamala Harris and think that he's
some sort of you know, satanistic dictator or whatever they
want to portray him as.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Speaking of Justin Wells, he is the producer of Art
of the Surge, a documentary which you can watch on X.
I want to ask you about that. Justin the Elon
factor in well probably the history of the world, but
also in this election, is profound just having X as
a as a true free speech platform that is a
(26:49):
broad spectrum, right.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I mean, I know that you know, there's.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Rumble, there's there's truth, but those don't really reach outside
of a more center right audience, Whereas with X you
still have this tens of millions or hundreds of millions,
however many it is these days, of active users a month,
and I just think it's interesting that not only has
that allowed for more robust exchange of ideas online going
(27:12):
into this election that we saw in twenty twenty, but
it also is just the beginning, from what I understand,
of people using X as a platform in a whole
range of ways. I mean, why tell us about the
choice of putting out a documentary first and foremost on
X as the platform.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I think it was important for a host of reasons.
When Tucker and I, you know, departed Fox or what NOTO,
we went to X temporarily. He's since launched took across
a network in addition to that. But you know, what
we found with X, and what I found recently as well,
is they just have the scale to reach a huge
number of people. I think thirty percent of their audience
is independence. The rest is split amongst people on the
(27:50):
left and the right. As far as domestic American, the
American audience there and when you see what happened to
Joe Rogan in his INNERVI you on YouTube with President
Trump just the other day. He's the biggest podcaster in
the world. And sure he's got a Spotify idea where
he's allegedly protected, but then you see that, you know,
you can't even search for probably the most important consequential
(28:14):
interview of the week, if not the month, if not
the entire election as far as this race. People wanted
to hear that interview, and you know, YouTube made sure
that you couldn't hear that interview. And I think that
that you know, X definitely serves a purpose as far
as that and and somebody needs to move into that
video space, and YouTube has been dominant for too long.
(28:36):
But they're they're putting their fingers on the scale clearly
because they don't even want you to find what you're
searching for. So I thought it was important to reach
as many people as possible before the election outside of
a paywall, and I felt the best way to do
that and engage with folks is on X. And I
think I think that there's definitely a seismic shift in
(28:57):
the way X is perceived thanks to a lot of
what Elon is putting into the platform and allowing creators
like myself and others to put forward there.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Check it out. You can watch it at Art of
the Surge on X. You can also check out Art
of Thesurge dot com. Justin Wells Tucker Carlson's executive producer
producer of this brand new documentary series, Art of the Surge,
which I'm happy to be a part of.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Justin.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
We appreciate the time. I'm sure that through the election
is going to be a heck of a good thing
to be able to see.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Absolutely, thanks for having me on. I appreciate it, good
to see it.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
That's Justin Wells doing a great job with that story,
which is going to have I think some historic residents,
especially as we sit here four days from the election.
Right after the election early December, I'm going to be
headed to Israel to do the show live from Israel,
and Israeli citizens are preparing for another attack right now
in their country. Late last night, reports that came out
(29:54):
that Iran was going to be using proxies in Iraq
to reportedly attack Israel again. That means citizens in Israel
have to take cover in bomb shelters while the IDF
does their very best to shield the nation and its people.
Conflict remains as intense as ever. Israel and her people
are facing attacks from enemies on all sides, and your
(30:15):
support matters more now than ever before. Thousands of Israeli
reservists have been injured, their families need support. Your gift
of one hundred and fifty dollars will help the Fellowship
provide food and other necessities of these families to help
them survive. Your gift will be matched doubling its impact.
Call to make you one hundred and fifty dollars gift
(30:36):
right now at eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ.
That's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five.
You can also go online to support IFCJ dot org
to give that's one word support IFCJ dot org.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Need a break from politics, a little comedy to counter
the craziness, so do we the Sunday Hang Weekend podcast
to lighten things up a bit. Find it in the
Clay and Buck podcast feed on the Iheartradiople or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Finishing up
the Friday edition of the show. When we come back
to talk to all of you on Monday, it will
officially be election week. A lot of you can still
get out and vote. Let me hit you with a
couple of details here as we roll into the weekend.
I want to make sure I get this right. Last
day of early voting in Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and
(31:32):
Pott Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which is a key swing state area.
They're also with final schedule from Trump. I don't know
if you've seen this yet, Buck, I thought maybe we
would share it with people. Trump is going to be
in Warren, Michigan today, that's the Detroit area if I
remember correctly.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And also Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Saturday, he's going to be in Gastonia, North Carolina, Salem, Virginia,
trying to put Virginia in play, Greensboro, North Carolina. Sunday
he will be in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Kingston, North Carolina, and Macon, Georgia.
And then Monday, Raleigh, North Carolina, reading Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
(32:16):
Grand Rapids, Michigan to finish his campaign. I think kind
of an idea, right buck, as we look here at
the final four days, Trump thinks if he wins one
of these big ten states Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania, and
then carries North Carolina and Georgia, he wins the presidency.
(32:36):
And so it's not a surprise that he would be
hitting those places as the top of his list.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
I mean, I'm gonna be eating some delicious crawfish and
gritz this weekend and not worried at all here in Georgia,
because Georgia's going red. The country's going red. My friends,
Donald Trump's gonna win this election. You've heard me say
it without fail since Kamala became the Democrat nominee. I
was actually more worried when Biden was the opponent, honestly,
(33:00):
so maybe I'm over confident, whatever, sue me, but I
feel very very good about it. Kamala meanwhile, in her
closing argument, just deciding to show everybody she definitely is
a Democrat because she is really lying. She decided away
and just now this just happened up in Madison, Wisconsin.
We're bringing this to you hot off the presses, so
(33:21):
to speak. Kamala Harris addressing the fake charge of Donald
Trump calling for violence against Liz Cheney. Here is what
that sounded like.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
He has increased his violent rhetoric. Donald Trump has about
political opponents and in great detail, in great details, suggested
rifles should be trained on former Representative Liz Cheney. This
must be disqualifying. Anyone who wants to be president of
(33:53):
the United States who uses that kind of violent rhetoric
is clearly qualified and unqualified to be president.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
I mean, I just said, I want to point out
even Joanah Goldberg of National Review, who jumped on this
at CNN, because the way it was portrayed at CNN
for the conversation. He's now released a statement saying I
was totally wrong. He was not calling Yeah, he was
not calling for violence. He hates to be clear, he
despises Trump, and I'm not exactary he despises Trump, but
(34:23):
he's like, guys, this is this is total bunk. This
is garbage, this is nonsense. And so he's come out
and said, look, I apologize for saying that basically and
that it wasn't true at all. But Clay, I wonder
Kamala Harris is telling such an overt and obvious lie,
thinking that it might just few last people, Oh my gosh,
(34:43):
Trump is calling for violence. You know, maybe this just
runs up the numbers a little bit more in a
couple of these. Do you think it might have the
opposite effect? You think that there'll be more people that
will say, Wow, she's just lying, She's just a liar.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I hope that yes, is the answer. My con is
a lot of people never hear the truth. Everybody out
there listening to us right now, I mean, Kamala Harris,
whatever you think about her, is smart enough to know
that what he was saying is actually the exact opposite
of what she's implying she.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Knows she's lying.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
This isn't Kamala with a difference of opinion or judgment,
Clay or spot on.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
She is looking into the cameras and lying.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Because she believes that it benefits her to claim the
exact opposite of what Trump was saying. Trump was actually
advocating for less war and less violence and saying that
if people like Liz Cheney had to face and their
families the threat of death in the wars that they
have caused, that they would be less likely to send
(35:46):
your sons and daughters to theaters of war, which is
do you know what what people have been saying for
hundreds of years. It's not even a very controversial statement
for those of us who are history nerds. During the
Civil War, where Buck maybe touring some Civil War sits
down in Savannah this weekend, I'm going to.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
A battlefield tomorrow or a fort tomorrow. Y, I'm jealous.
Rich Man's war.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Poor Man's fight has been a calling card of people
who are anti war forever. Trump was actually arguing against violence.
He's the only person who's been president that hasn't put
our troops into an unnecessary war. And so what Kamala
Harris is doing is completely a lie.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I will be in.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Lot forty one Ohio state, penn State with Pennsylvania Senator
Dave McCormick, working to try to flip the Senate and
win Pennsylvania. I'm getting on a plane in about thirty minutes. Buck,
you will be in the battleground state of Georgia. So
we will be out there this weekend and then we'll
be back on Monday.
Speaker 6 (36:48):
I'm going to walk around the streets to Savanna and
it's be like, Hey, have you voted for Trump yet?
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Get out there.
