Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I
hope all of you are having a fantastic start to
your day. We're ready to make that a little bit better.
Our buddy Alex Berenson is going to swing by and
hang out with us in the two PM. Our only
guests that we have scheduled right now. Just FYI, but
we do have some good news that broke yesterday afternoon evening.
(00:24):
We've been telling you that it was going to happen
for some time. The House is in Republican hands, which means, Buck,
we have got a clean sweep on the twenty twenty
four election. We were hoping for a red wave or
red tsunami in twenty twenty two. Instead we had to
wait a couple of years more for it to arrive.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But it has arrived.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Republicans will control the Senate, the House, and the White House.
And tomorrow, I would say big news will be who
the Senate majority leader is. But Trump continue used to
fill out his cabinet reports that Marco Rubio, who Buck
was just in studio with a couple of weeks ago.
We've had him on the program quite a lot. Senator
(01:08):
from Florida is going to be Secretary of State. The
ongoing rollout of the Trump cabinet, Buck, it feels kind
of flawless to me so far in terms of everybody
that they are putting in positions of prominence and power.
And as a result, we've got some things to be
pretty excited about as the transition period is fully underway.
(01:34):
We got some drama, Buck. I don't know if you've
seen this video yet, but Jill Biden gave an unbelievable
cold shoulder to Kamala and Doug at the Veterans Day ceremony,
which I believe is the first time they've been in
the same place in some time. I cannot wait for
these books to come out, for the true story to
(01:54):
be told. But the fallout is significant and massive on
the left. MSNBC has just abandoned. Everybody has left MSNBC, CNN.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Buck. We talked about this, and I.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Do think it's consequential, and we got some fun clips
for you, But all the talk was how will they
respond to losing. It seems like so far the response
is not let's throw a fist up. We're going to
be the resistance, which is what we saw in twenty sixteen,
and we're going to flood CNN and MSNBC. In the
Washington Post of New York Times, it feels like they
(02:28):
are maybe angry at the media that told them Kamala
was going to win, and just almost a form of
resignation setting in. As Trump comes into near total power
in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
They're waiting to see what they can coalesce around as
the new resistance, because they've got nothing right now. They
went all in on January sixth, fascism, the end of democracy,
and it didn't work, and it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Going to work going forward.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Right that Trump isn't running again, and so they can
just whine about how there won't be another election or
whatever it is they're going to say.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No one's paying attention, No one really cares.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I do think Clay that the likeliest place for the administration.
Just to be clear, We've got Marco Rubio likely to
be Secretary of State, right, We've got Tom Holman running
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. We've got Susie Wiles as White
House Chief of Staff. It is believed that the and
(03:30):
this could have changed even while I was reading in
in the last hour, but it's believed Stephen Miller will
be deputy White House Chief of Staff.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I don't know if that's been a there what is.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
There's what is told to the media by the Trump team,
and then there's what is or rather that the media
tells us they were told, and what the Trump campaign
has confirmed not necessarily the same a Trump transition, rather
has confirmed not necessarily the same thing.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Christy Nome has been named as the head of DHS.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Look, Trump want to huge victory. He gets to pick
his team. He learned a lot over the first four years.
I'm not going to sit here as somebody who just
comments on things and uh and second guess him. I
was a little surprised by that one. All I can
say is if she's part of the Trump administration, I
wish her all the success in the world, and hope
that there's Trump team that he's assembling, whether it's Gnome,
(04:20):
Home and Miller, Wiles, Rubio, I just hope that they
kick ass. Honestly, I just want I just want our
team to win. And Trump has earned the right to
pick the team that he wants to have around him,
not all of them, some of them. Clay I think
would would have been if he asked me, if he
asked me personally, I would have given him some of
(04:40):
these very same names. You know, Steven Miller in a
very senior White House role, Susie Wiles obviously after running
a phenomenal campaign.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know, Marco Rubio at State. You know Rick Renell
Mark or Rubio. I mean, these are I think you're.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Gonna get pretty similar policies out of either of them.
We don't really know, but they're both competent guys. They're
both loyal guys. Christy Noam again, I'm surprised, but that's
Trump's choice, and I hope she does a phenomenal job.
I hope she does all the deportations that this administration
has planned. And so anybody who's on the Trump team
has has my full support and best wishes to get
(05:13):
the mission accomplished. They were crowing a little bit on
morning Joe Clay, This was sad. This was sad, not sad,
but it was kind of it was a little bit
of a wamp wump. They are now going with the
Trump is the phenomenon, not the Republican Party. Look at
the battleground Senate races. Carry Lake just lost Carry Lake
(05:36):
just lost again. Okay, Kerry Lake lost in a state
where Donald Trump won by six points?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is that right? Basically six points? Basically six we'll call
it six points.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
She lost by between two and three points.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's on the candidate. I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
We supported Carrie, We wish her all the best. She
seems like a lovely person, but she didn't get it
done in that state. Very sad about about Brown losing
in Nevada. That's to uh forgetting her name right now.
But to the down Jackie Rosen.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
We had rows super close losses in Michigan, Mike Rodgers
and and our friend Eric Hovedy, who we had on
this program a lot. Those are if everything had gone perfectly, Buck,
we could have won fifty seven Senate seats.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Because all four of those were very winnable.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
And I would say the new narrative, Clay, is that
it was that really the.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Trump Kamala thing.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Kamala got smoked, but obviously, but the Democrat Republican thing
as in other races, very close Democrats. I'm telling you,
this is what they're saying on Morning Joe. So this
is what the talking points are. Now it's closer than
people realize. Just need to basically just need a better
top of the ticket candidate for the next election, and
(06:53):
going into the midterms, they feel like they're in a
pretty good spot. I'm just telling you they've they're already
in the rebound and reforming the narrative zone here. And
we took you know, we took some tough losses. The
Hubdy thing was skin of teeth, but that's that's a
very tough state. We you know, we had Eric on
a lot here, A lot of you went out and
voted for him. You know that was going to be
(07:14):
tricky against an incumbent. Kerry Lake should have won that
Senate See, I don't know what else to say. She
should have won that Senate seat. Now we're down a seat. Now,
we still have a majority, but every seat matters, especially
when you see that the map gets a lot harder
for Republicans in the next election cycle.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
This is where we are.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I do think the challenge for them, and I
would love to have Joe Scarborough on is that requires
what they're now pivoting to requires them acknowledging that Trump
is a transcendently popular individual figure.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Which is what he's saying without saying it, just to
the that's saying it. That's the next.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Step of that is this guy's an incredibly talented politician.
He has great appeal, which is the exact opposite of
what they've argued for nearly a decade that he's an
accidental president, that Russia put him over to the edge.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
That is, I would say.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
If you want to point to the most disappointing thing
about twenty twenty four is we were oh so achingly
close to winning fifty seven Senate seats, and if you
go back and look at Sam Brown, Carey Lake, Mike Rodgers,
and Eric Hovdy, I think they were all for the
better candidate. Now, Bucket's worth pointing out that they probably
(08:25):
didn't point that out. Three of those individuals are incumbents.
So you're having to run against as a new person,
someone that has already been introduced and won multiple races.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Sorry two of them.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It was an open Senate seat in Michigan, but you're
having to introduce yourself in a challenging environment with someone
who already has the powers of incumbency.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
There.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
We need to be honest about the differences here in
these contests, and this.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Is the first day. That the that you've started to see.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Democrats saying, oh no, it's not that bad for us,
and they're really latching onto these Senate wins. We lost
Senate seats as Republicans in Georgia, Georgia that we should
have won. That was malpractice. That was a combination of
bad campaign, bad candidate. We lost Senate seats in Georgia,
three of them really, but certainly one or two that
we should have won. We just lost a Senate seat
(09:15):
in Arizona that absolutely should have gone Republican. All right,
absolutely should have been won, and it did not. What
happened there was a lot of people said, I'm voting
Donald Trump, I'm not voting for Kerry Lake, and it's
time to ask why that is. That is the reality
of the math and the numbers there. It's not about
election stealing or you know, the printer's breaking or anything
like that. People voted Trump, didn't vote Kerry Lake. Now,
(09:39):
now now that's a loss. We should have won that one.
Hovedy's going up in a absolute battleground state against an
entrenched incumbent. You know, to me, we put a best
foot forward there, you know, close, but no Cigar I
feel like Hovedy had a look at the open three
at the buzzer to win by one point and it
just you know, just circle.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
The rim and came out.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I mean, he was very close, but Arizona's an airball.
Arizona was not good. We should have won that Senate
seat Nevada. I think Sam Brown is new to this obviously,
a very impressive guy and a guy that the country
always a tremendous debt to. Didn't have the same name recognition,
didn't have what they had before in that what rather
others would have from running before in that state, and
(10:23):
he made a good run of it. And I think
there may be a role for him in the Trump administration.
So I think he might be involved in something like
that Dave McCormick play going to orientation. Chuck Schumer is
now admitting that Dave McCormick won. That was a tough one.
That was an uphill battle that a strong candidate was
able to pull out in Pennsylvania. So it's a little
bit of a mixed picture in those Senate battleground states.
(10:45):
But Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, that is what Democrats are
hanging their hats on right now, saying, see, we can
still compete in battlegrounds, we just can't beat Trump with Kamala.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, listen to some of these numbers, Buck, because I'm
glad you brought up the Senate. Rodgers lost by twenty
thousand votes forty eight point six to forty eight point three.
You've got in in Wisconsin, Eric Hovdy losing by thirty
thousand votes forty nine point seven to forty eight point eight. Arizona,
(11:19):
you've got Carrie Lake. Let's see, sorry, make sure that
I get that right. Looking at these looking at these numbers,
I mean, it's just crazy how close they all ended
up being. Carry Lake lost by seventy thousand votes in Arizona.
And to your point, Buck, that's a state that Trump
won by two hundred thousand votes. And in Nevada, Jackie
(11:42):
Rose and the incumbent won by right at twenty thousand votes.
So we're talking about tiny, tiny margins. And it's also
worth noting the Democrats wildly outspent by and large all
of the Republican Senate candidates in those states. So we
were so close to truly transforming the United States Senate.
(12:03):
One hundred thousand total votes nationwide and Republicans would be
at fifty seven basically instead of at fifty three. Fifty
three is still a good margin three and a half
with the tie, but as you look towards twenty six,
Democrats are going to think we can kneecap President Trump
by taking back the Senate. And to me, Buck, what
it also hammers home is you've got to be incredibly
(12:26):
productive in the first eighteen months because you don't have
a guarantee of having the majority in the second half
of your term. You'll be a lame duck. Trump will
once we get to the midterms. Whatever huge success he's
going to have has to be set in the first
eighteen months. Really the first year. We have to have
(12:47):
out of the gates incredible momentum. Since nine to eleven,
Ton of the Towers Foundations been supporting America's greatest heroes
and their families, Heroes who protect our communities and our country.
Heroes like firefighter James Dickman passionate about fire safety, and
James aspired to do everything in his power to keep
his community and fellow firefighters safe. While responding to an
(13:09):
apartment fire, James and his crew tried to save people
who were thought to be trapped inside. When the situation escalated,
James wasn't able to escape. He perished in the blazing inferno.
Cause of the fire, Arson James leaves behind his loving wife, Jamie,
his children, Page and grant. Tunnel to Towers gave the
Dickman family the gift of a mortgage free home. Jamie's
grateful to Tunnel to Towers and to caring friends like
(13:32):
you for lifting the financial burden of a mortgage off
her shoulders. Donate eleven dollars a month to Tunnel to
Towers at t twot dot org. That's Tea the number
two t dot org. Your gift will be a true
life changer for families like the Dickmans.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Welcome back into clay An Buck.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
As we're getting more and more about what the Trump
team is going to be in terms of the cabinet,
I think it is becoming clear to everyone by the
ways Cash Patel, friend of the show, friend of ours
is he It's reported with him right, But I haven't
seen it in that this has been breaking and all
these different I think some people have reported things that
aren't or rather they've confirmed things that have not been confirmed.
(14:11):
When it comes to these appointments. I've seen some of that,
especially on the Secretary of State stuff. But Cash Mattel
may be CIA director. That's what people are discussing on
on the of all the cabinet positions. I'm very curious
to see who he wants to be. The age Clay
and I agree that attorney general for Trump is you
just need somebody who is both brilliant and a warrior.
(14:33):
You need somebody who understands what they're up against, who
knows the system, and who can bend this system to
his or her will and get real reform and also
prevent the kind of lawfair garbage. You know, this is
where Attorney General Sessions. By the way, I think Jeff
Session is a nice man. He just was not He's
not a street fighter. He was not ready for what
(14:54):
was coming and made some huge errors in that first
Trump term. Again, I think he's I think he's a
good man, loves his country, and you know, was trying.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
He just wasn't. He wasn't up for it. He wasn't
up for that job.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Now you look at that role, Attorney general critical also
play on the issue of DHS chief and the deportations,
right Nome has been announced as head of DHS. Massive
kind of a bureaucracy of bureaucracies, right, it's the it's
the umbrella bureaucracy.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And below it there's all these.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Other their Secret Service, there's Border Patrol, immigrations, and Customs enforcement.
This is the major thing that Trump has promised to
do and that he is gearing up to do as president,
which is dramatically increased deportations. Over at CNN and this
is cut five, they're talking about the backlash that will
ensue play this one.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Our community is going to go through pain, Our community
is going to go through cruelty. That is not what
anyone voted for. If this is what you all think
you have the mandate for, go for it. You're going
to see very quick and very horrifically the kind of
backlash ye you're going to get. I don't think people
voted for a cost of almost one hundred billion dollars
(16:05):
that you all are going to spend if, in fact,
you are going to deport the twelve to fifteen million
some people in your party think it's twenty million unduck
inmened immigrants that are here. This is an administration that
has no clue what is about to happen. They are
clueless in terms of the real world effects of something
like that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
She has no clue because it is at least twenty million.
Put that aside.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Look some people in your party they said it was
eleven million. They've admitted ten million of coming.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
In four years. Can she do math? Apparently not.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But Clay, this is going to be I think the
central fight of year one of the Trump administration. They
need to have people ready to go. Tom Homan, I know,
is absolutely ready to go.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, you need to have people ready to go, and
you need to have people with strong backbones, because I
think this is where their resistance is going to dig in. Look,
there are a lot of things that need to happen.
The tax cuts are expiring. We need to get the
American economy overall growing at a fast rate. We've got
to beat inflation. We've got to get interest rates down.
(17:04):
There are a lot of different major pocketbook issues that
are in play. But I suspect if I were out there,
this is where the resistance is going to form, which
is why this has to be really well organized. It
has to go directly after young men with criminal records
to start and get the process rolling of what these
(17:24):
mass deportations are going to entail. By the way, it's
not just about deporting people who are here either, Buck,
It's also about sending the message to anyone trying to
come illegally that you don't get to stay here, which
at least stems the flow to begin.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
With absolutely the case. All right, we'll take some calls
coming up here as well. Phone lines are back in
action today. We had phones down yesterday, so we'll talk
to you big into phones. Yesterday was Veterans Day, but
we honor our men and women every day here on
Clay and Buck. My cell phone service company, Puretalk, does
so too. As a veteran led company, the team at
Puretalk is passionate about helping our returning veterans. That's why
(18:00):
Pure Talk has alleviated ten million dollars in veteran debt.
Every month, they donate tens of thousands of dollars to
help prevent veteran suicide. In fact, Pure Talk just donated
fifty thousand dollars to micro Works and an organization providing
scholarships to veterans learning the trades after active duty. When
you switch your cell phone service to pure Talk. Your
dollars are supporting a good cause and providing you with
(18:21):
great cell phone coverage. Look, this is my cell phone
coverage network. I'm on Puretalk. I rely on them. I've
been with them for years. They get it done. Dial
pound two five zero say Clay and Buck. Save it
additional fifty percent off your first month again from your phone.
Now Dial pound two five zero say Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Thanksgivings not
very far away. Buck, You and I are excited about this.
We're going to be in Florida. We'll have a bunch
of family and friends. I am confident that at my
Thanksgiving there will be people who voted for believe it
or not, family big gathering. They are going to be
(19:03):
Kamala voters. That's fine. I'm gonna enjoy watching football, drinking beer,
and knowing that the good team won. I'm not gonna
need to feel necessarily the need to gloat. And I
would never even remotely think about the idea of saying, Hey,
you aren't allowed to come to my family Thanksgiving because
(19:24):
I disagree with your personal politics.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I think that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I would suggest that the vast majority of you agree
the same way. I actually give credit to jd Vance
here on election Day, you remember Buck, he said, Look,
you may vote differently, but the idea of giving up
a lifetime friend over the fact that you might have
a different political opinion in this election, to me is crazy,
and I would stand by that. I just had a
(19:48):
twenty year law school anniversary. A lot of people voted
the opposite way of me at that law school anniversary reunion.
I had an awesome time. Still, but that's not the
way the l is responding. They are absolutist and they
are now going on. This was a woman going on MSNBC.
Buck who is a psychiatrist. She went on Joyreid's show.
(20:11):
I would submit that she actually should be giving as
much help to Joyreid as she could, because I think
that chick is crazy and actually not mentally well and
regularly says insane things. So if anybody needs a psychiatrist
on daily television, I would submit it to Joy Reid.
But no, this MSNBC psychiatrist said, you guys, it's okay
(20:35):
to not make the decision to go out there and
attend Thanksgiving. You can let people know how you feel
listen to this.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
There is a push, I think, just a societal norm
that if somebody is your family, that they are entitled
to your time, and I think the answer is absolutely
not so. If you are going into a situation where
you have family members, where you have close friends who
you know have voted in ways that are against you,
(21:04):
like what you said, against your livelihood, and it's completely
fine to not be around those people and to tell
them why, you know, to say I have a problem
with the way that you voted because it went against
my very livelihood, and I'm not going to be around
you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
How crazy is this that this is what MSNBC is
saying to their audience that basically you should And there
are lots of left wingers out there. I've only seen
left wingers so far doing this because I think they
are the ones that are psychologically broken. They're the ones
that have been saying for a decade now, if you
vote Trump, You're not welcome at my Thanksgiving. How crazy
(21:47):
is this that this is a psychiatrist going on and
talking to I think, unfortunately a lot of psychologically broken
people and telling them it is completely normal to make
your political opinions dictate what you do over the holidays.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
If you can't stomach being around half the country in
a social setting, and particularly if it's a family member
you've got you've got mental health problems. Yes, it's just
straight up. It's there's no way, there's no way to
sugarcoat it. There's no way around this if you can't
be around a family member who voted differently than you,
and we know this tends to be a one way street.
If you're a lib who can't be around somebody who
(22:22):
voted for Trump, you have a problem. There's something wrong
with you. I grew up in New York City, lived
in New York City most of my adult life. I
was outnumbered by Democrats everywhere constantly. And you know, you
figure it out. You're polite to people, you go through
your day to day. You just try to conduct yourself
with all of the you know, the best ideals in mind,
(22:42):
and you don't act like a lunatic and they're acting
like maniacs. And going into Thanksgiving, I think is going
to be particularly tough in some families where people, you know,
the media realizes, by and large, we we've talked about
this that the whole Trump is Hitler thing was just
a It was a con, It was a lie, it
was a slam. It was just to get people emotional
upset voter turnout. There are people out there, lots of them,
(23:05):
who actually believe that still and they are emotionally damaged
by this.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
And if you question whether they actually believe it or not,
you know who's having lunch in the White House tomorrow
at eleven am, Trump with Biden. I just think if
you were an honest purveyor of the media landscape to
go from Trump is Hitler, He's fascist, all of his
(23:31):
supporters are garbage to Trump wins the popular vote and
just pivot on its heel and Biden now is going
to have Trump in for lunch Like we were joking
about yesterday, you wouldn't have Hitler over for lunch. This
argument they made was such a lie. I will say this, buck.
(23:52):
Did you see the video of doctor Jill Biden with
Kamala at Veterans Day? I just what the stories that
are still to come from out of this White House.
I think Jill hates Kamala. I think she legitimately hates
her wearing that red outfit on election day, Are you
kidding me? And I wonder what the conversation is actually
(24:16):
going to be like between Biden and Trump, because I
think Biden may actually, interestingly enough like Trump now more
than he likes Kamala and right, I mean think about
you know, I don't know what the conversation will actually be,
(24:36):
but if I were guessing, I bet Trump walks in
and one of the first things he says is, look,
they screwed you. Uh, you would have been a much
tougher opponent than Kamala. They didn't treat you fairly like
I think I would have very Trump. I think I
would have beaten you too, but it would have been
a lot harder. You were treated really unfairly, And I
(24:57):
think Biden's going to be like, yeah, I agree with
all of that.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Uh you know, Clay, somebody who wrongs you is upsetting.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Somebody who betrays you is a whole level beyond right.
And this is why I think I've said before in
the show The in the Final Circle of Hell and
Dante's Inferno, it's those who betray you, know.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It's the world.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I'm sorry the word yes, yes, it's people who have
been entrusted by others with either power or with or
with love or with uh, you know, bonds of brother
brotherhood and betray that that that is really the worst.
And I got to tell you, I think I think
(25:41):
Joe Biden feels betrayed by Kamala Harris. I think that
if I were Jill Biden, and I'm not. It's not
a doctor, but I would feel particularly outraged that my
husband was shoved aside to make room for somebody who
was completely inept. I mean, now, it's it's not like
we were saying that they say stuff about Trump Clay
(26:02):
that they know is untrue to try to help get
more votes.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
What we said about.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Kamala was true, then it is true. Now it is
just the truth. She was a horrible candidate.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
You were right about the fact that she was going
to like the numbers, but can we just point out
California buck as we started the show, has only counted
seventy six percent of the vote. I mean, whatever your
politics are, come on, California, Florida can count twenty million
population of twenty million plus I don't know, ten million
(26:36):
plus total votes before all was said and done. Two
hours after the polls closed, We've got basically one hundred
percent certainty on Florida. How in the world can we
be sitting around still waiting to see what the final
tally is going to be. Thankfully, Trump won so substantially
that it doesn't matter. But we're one week after the
election and California still has only counted seventy five percent
(26:59):
of its votes. My wife ife was talking because she
works here in the elections in Tennessee. I mean, this
is such a calculated decision by California to allow this
to happen. In most states, they basically lock everybody in
a room and say, hey, you've got to tally all
these ballots. We're not going to allow you to leave
because we want to make sure that the ballots are secure.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
This is unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The fact that this situation could be still ongoing. Again,
thankfully Trump won by so much that it doesn't actually matter,
but the fact that we could be going back in
time effectively. I was looking at the data buck eighteen
sixty four was the first year I believe that California voted.
It might have been eighteen sixty They got the election
(27:46):
done in the Civil War infinitely faster than now, like
Lincoln got results from California in the eighteen sixty four
presidential election faster than we're getting them in twenty twenty
four presidential election. Maybe maybe this is a big fall.
Maybe we should rectify it. Maybe we should shine some
(28:08):
embarrassment on Gavin Newsom who thinks that he's gonna now
be the standard bearer of the Democrat Party going forward.
Just something worth thinking about, regardless of your partisan leanings.
This is unacceptable. But the delectable nature of this discord.
I just I'm gonna be honest with you. I cannot
(28:29):
wait to see more about this and more of the
details to come out.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yes, and there's the theory. We haven't addressed this yet,
but it was raised. I got a lot of headlines
over the weekend. Yeah, Biden, you want to talk about
this next? Yeah, let's talk Biden step down to allow
Kamala to technically be the first black female president.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
For a month or two before the.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Election, this was brought up, It was discussed widely in
the media. I think this goes to some of the
feelings in the Biden camp, and we will discuss whether
we think that that is something that would even be
under consideration. Because the gentleman who brought it up is
somebody that I actually know. He is very well connected
in Democrat circles. I can tell you he knows all
(29:18):
these players. He knows them all personally. And if he's
bringing it up, it's because somebody else has brought it
up to You know. What I mean is, I don't
think he just came up with this out of nowhere.
So we'll come back here in just a second. You know,
few things are more precious to family members than the
member memories.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
That they share.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Back in the day, they were captured on video and
print photos. Stuff like that VHS tapes. A whole bunch
of dusty old VHS tapes were held in boxes in
the back of the closet in my parents' house in
New York. You know what we did with him, got
them transferred so now we can watch old videos, share
photos of ourselves, you know, Halloween costumes, recitals, first communions,
(29:58):
all kinds of stuff. Thanks to Legacy Box. If you've
got old tapes or photo albums, Legacy Box will take
them and make sure that precious content will last for
generations to come. Legacy Box does this better than anybody
else that it from my family for Clay's family and
right now, because they really want you to try out
their service, because once you try it, you're gonna love it.

legacy box dot com slash buck for this nine dollars
per tape deal. That's legacy box dot com slash buck.
Welcome back into Clay Endbuck. We're gonna get to this
theory here in a second about maybe one of Biden's
(31:00):
last moves coming up. But first, Crockett coffee, my friends,
it is what I'm drinking right now. I had to
clean my mug, Clay, so I don't have a cool
mug for everybody to see. But I'm just holding up
my coffee for no parent reason. Then, But Crockett Coffee.
Fantastic great day yesterday. Thank you all for standing with
us as we build this company. You know, the communists
have come after us online. You guys rally do our side.
(31:21):
We really appreciate that. We're rolling to other people's sides too.
We've got other shows now that are going to be
doing their own ads for this. We're helping people monetize
their podcast. People in the early stages of their building
their audience are now going to be pushing out there
the message of Crockett Coffee. And you can get a
signed copy of American Playbook Clay's Book use promo code book.
(31:43):
If you subscribe, we'll send you a sign copy of
the book just as a thank you for being a
new subscriber to Crockett and I'll see you get deals
on your first month. It's all at the website, go
to Crocketcoffee dot com. I know some of you are like,
I already drink coffee buck. I'm like, well, why are
you supporting communism with that coffee? Because it probably is
from some Starbucks, like massive corporation that does not share you,
(32:04):
share your values, and does not send you Clay's signed book.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
They do not do that. At Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I will have you know, also, maybe a decent Christmas
gift for people out there. And I know a lot
of you because I'm in part of this camp. You
don't really know what to give someone. Autograph, copy of
the book and coffee. What an incredibly thoughtful gift that
would be, particularly for some of you, maybe men who
(32:30):
are not always great. I'll just toss it out there
at gifts. You know somebody likes the show Boom, there
you go, Crocket Coffee dot com. We got a bunch
of callers who want a way in. The phones, by
the way, were down yesterday. We weren't all ignoring you.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
They thought we just wanted to keep talking and talking
and talking. The phones are We're told back up and running.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Here.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Janet in Pennsylvania, what you got for us?
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Hi, good afternoon from Pennsylvania. I just wanted to comment
on the psychiatrist that was on MSNBC telling Joy Reid
to ignore her family and tell us study in her
family that she didn't agree with. Yeah, so don't show
up for Thanksgiving. You know, I just when you were
playing that, I had the saddest thought, and it was
(33:17):
that in two thousand and one, in the year. In
two and a half months after the September eleventh attacks,
during like the month, the entire month of November, all
anybody could talk about was how they couldn't wait to
get home and be with their family, and they wanted
to see their family more than anything else in the
(33:38):
whole world. And it's just been it's only been twenty
three years, and just look what the Left is done
to this country.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Thank you for the call. Awful and thank you for
saving America. In Pennsylvania, by the way, uniquely with both
a Senate seat and a president vote.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I'll just point this out. My father in law died
in May and I was in that hospital room. It's
an awful experience. It's great to be able to say
bye to people. But if you were, or if a
member of your family were to die this fall or
this winter, do you think your primary thought would be,
(34:17):
how did my family vote in the presidential election?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Even if it just happened. No one is actually thinking that.
No one on their.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Deathbed is thinking, hey, in nineteen eighty four, how did
my family members vote.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
No one actually is thinking that. One of the primary signifiers,
one of the primary.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Red flags of a cult is the demand of isolation
from loved ones, family members, friends. When you are isolated,
you are decontextualized. You lose a sense of balance, a
sense of where you are on things, and any political
ideology in this country, any political party or political candidate
(35:00):
who would support you not talking to your family or
being around your family even at Thanksgiving is by definition,
uh a toxic by definition, something that should be rejected
out of hands.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I think that's well said, But I would just point out,
if you've ever been in those hospital rooms in the
final moments of someone's life, you're not talking about how
you voted in the two thousand and four presidential election.
Don't destroy family relationships over elections. Duke in California, Fast here.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Like to put out.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
Cherry Lake for press secretary.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Thank you for the call.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
She would be good at communicating there, Buck, We feel
like Caroline Levitt is going to get that job. She's
been on this program a lot, smart, young, savvy.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I think Trump she'd be my pick. She'd be my pick.
And you know, there's a lot of people that would
be very good at that job. I think she's earned
the right to get to be in that seat. Given
what she did for the campaign. But look, man, maybe
Cary Lake, A lot of other names out there we
floated around, but we hope it's Caroline Levitt and we'll
see how this goes and shakes out. I got to
(36:10):
come back to this, Will Kamala get to be president
for not a day but you know, like thirty days
or something.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I think we all know the answer.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
But it does go to the Biden Kamala inner workings,
and we want to discuss where that is coming up.
Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I
hope all of you are having a fantastic start to
your day. We're ready to make that a little bit better.
Our buddy Alex Berenson is going to swing by and
hang out with us in the two PM. Our only
guests that we have scheduled right now. Just FYI, but
we do have some good news that broke yesterday afternoon evening.
(00:24):
We've been telling you that it was going to happen
for some time. The House is in Republican hands, which means, Buck,
we have got a clean sweep on the twenty twenty
four election. We were hoping for a red wave or
red tsunami in twenty twenty two. Instead we had to
wait a couple of years more for it to arrive.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But it has arrived.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Republicans will control the Senate, the House, and the White House.
And tomorrow, I would say big news will be who
the Senate majority leader is. But Trump continue used to
fill out his cabinet reports that Marco Rubio, who Buck
was just in studio with a couple of weeks ago.
We've had him on the program quite a lot. Senator
(01:08):
from Florida is going to be Secretary of State. The
ongoing rollout of the Trump cabinet, Buck, it feels kind
of flawless to me so far in terms of everybody
that they are putting in positions of prominence and power.
And as a result, we've got some things to be
pretty excited about as the transition period is fully underway.
(01:34):
We got some drama, Buck. I don't know if you've
seen this video yet, but Jill Biden gave an unbelievable
cold shoulder to Kamala and Doug at the Veterans Day ceremony,
which I believe is the first time they've been in
the same place in some time. I cannot wait for
these books to come out, for the true story to
(01:54):
be told. But the fallout is significant and massive on
the left. MSNBC has just abandoned. Everybody has left MSNBC, CNN.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Buck. We talked about this, and I.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Do think it's consequential, and we got some fun clips
for you, But all the talk was how will they
respond to losing. It seems like so far the response
is not let's throw a fist up. We're going to
be the resistance, which is what we saw in twenty sixteen,
and we're going to flood CNN and MSNBC. In the
Washington Post of New York Times, it feels like they
(02:28):
are maybe angry at the media that told them Kamala
was going to win, and just almost a form of
resignation setting in. As Trump comes into near total power
in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
They're waiting to see what they can coalesce around as
the new resistance, because they've got nothing right now. They
went all in on January sixth, fascism, the end of democracy,
and it didn't work, and it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Going to work going forward.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Right that Trump isn't running again, and so they can
just whine about how there won't be another election or
whatever it is they're going to say.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No one's paying attention, No one really cares.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I do think Clay that the likeliest place for the administration.
Just to be clear, We've got Marco Rubio likely to
be Secretary of State, right, We've got Tom Holman running
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. We've got Susie Wiles as White
House Chief of Staff. It is believed that the and
(03:30):
this could have changed even while I was reading in
in the last hour, but it's believed Stephen Miller will
be deputy White House Chief of Staff.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I don't know if that's been a there what is.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
There's what is told to the media by the Trump team,
and then there's what is or rather that the media
tells us they were told, and what the Trump campaign
has confirmed not necessarily the same a Trump transition, rather
has confirmed not necessarily the same thing.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Christy Nome has been named as the head of DHS.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Look, Trump want to huge victory. He gets to pick
his team. He learned a lot over the first four years.
I'm not going to sit here as somebody who just
comments on things and uh and second guess him. I
was a little surprised by that one. All I can
say is if she's part of the Trump administration, I
wish her all the success in the world, and hope
that there's Trump team that he's assembling, whether it's Gnome,
(04:20):
Home and Miller, Wiles, Rubio, I just hope that they
kick ass. Honestly, I just want I just want our
team to win. And Trump has earned the right to
pick the team that he wants to have around him,
not all of them, some of them. Clay I think
would would have been if he asked me, if he
asked me personally, I would have given him some of
(04:40):
these very same names. You know, Steven Miller in a
very senior White House role, Susie Wiles obviously after running
a phenomenal campaign.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know, Marco Rubio at State. You know Rick Renell
Mark or Rubio. I mean, these are I think you're.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Gonna get pretty similar policies out of either of them.
We don't really know, but they're both competent guys. They're
both loyal guys. Christy Noam again, I'm surprised, but that's
Trump's choice, and I hope she does a phenomenal job.
I hope she does all the deportations that this administration
has planned. And so anybody who's on the Trump team
has has my full support and best wishes to get
(05:13):
the mission accomplished. They were crowing a little bit on
morning Joe Clay, This was sad. This was sad, not sad,
but it was kind of it was a little bit
of a wamp wump. They are now going with the
Trump is the phenomenon, not the Republican Party. Look at
the battleground Senate races. Carry Lake just lost Carry Lake
(05:36):
just lost again. Okay, Kerry Lake lost in a state
where Donald Trump won by six points?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is that right? Basically six points? Basically six we'll call
it six points.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
She lost by between two and three points.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's on the candidate. I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
We supported Carrie, We wish her all the best. She
seems like a lovely person, but she didn't get it
done in that state. Very sad about about Brown losing
in Nevada. That's to uh forgetting her name right now.
But to the down Jackie Rosen.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
We had rows super close losses in Michigan, Mike Rodgers
and and our friend Eric Hovedy, who we had on
this program a lot. Those are if everything had gone perfectly, Buck,
we could have won fifty seven Senate seats.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Because all four of those were very winnable.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
And I would say the new narrative, Clay, is that
it was that really the.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Trump Kamala thing.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Kamala got smoked, but obviously, but the Democrat Republican thing
as in other races, very close Democrats. I'm telling you,
this is what they're saying on Morning Joe. So this
is what the talking points are. Now it's closer than
people realize. Just need to basically just need a better
top of the ticket candidate for the next election, and
(06:53):
going into the midterms, they feel like they're in a
pretty good spot. I'm just telling you they've they're already
in the rebound and reforming the narrative zone here. And
we took you know, we took some tough losses. The
Hubdy thing was skin of teeth, but that's that's a
very tough state. We you know, we had Eric on
a lot here, A lot of you went out and
voted for him. You know that was going to be
(07:14):
tricky against an incumbent. Kerry Lake should have won that
Senate See, I don't know what else to say. She
should have won that Senate seat. Now we're down a seat. Now,
we still have a majority, but every seat matters, especially
when you see that the map gets a lot harder
for Republicans in the next election cycle.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
This is where we are.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I do think the challenge for them, and I
would love to have Joe Scarborough on is that requires
what they're now pivoting to requires them acknowledging that Trump
is a transcendently popular individual figure.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Which is what he's saying without saying it, just to
the that's saying it. That's the next.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Step of that is this guy's an incredibly talented politician.
He has great appeal, which is the exact opposite of
what they've argued for nearly a decade that he's an
accidental president, that Russia put him over to the edge.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
That is, I would say.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
If you want to point to the most disappointing thing
about twenty twenty four is we were oh so achingly
close to winning fifty seven Senate seats, and if you
go back and look at Sam Brown, Carey Lake, Mike Rodgers,
and Eric Hovdy, I think they were all for the
better candidate. Now, Bucket's worth pointing out that they probably
(08:25):
didn't point that out. Three of those individuals are incumbents.
So you're having to run against as a new person,
someone that has already been introduced and won multiple races.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Sorry two of them.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It was an open Senate seat in Michigan, but you're
having to introduce yourself in a challenging environment with someone
who already has the powers of incumbency.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
There.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
We need to be honest about the differences here in
these contests, and this.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Is the first day. That the that you've started to see.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Democrats saying, oh no, it's not that bad for us,
and they're really latching onto these Senate wins. We lost
Senate seats as Republicans in Georgia, Georgia that we should
have won. That was malpractice. That was a combination of
bad campaign, bad candidate. We lost Senate seats in Georgia,
three of them really, but certainly one or two that
we should have won. We just lost a Senate seat
(09:15):
in Arizona that absolutely should have gone Republican. All right,
absolutely should have been won, and it did not. What
happened there was a lot of people said, I'm voting
Donald Trump, I'm not voting for Kerry Lake, and it's
time to ask why that is. That is the reality
of the math and the numbers there. It's not about
election stealing or you know, the printer's breaking or anything
like that. People voted Trump, didn't vote Kerry Lake. Now,
(09:39):
now now that's a loss. We should have won that one.
Hovedy's going up in a absolute battleground state against an
entrenched incumbent. You know, to me, we put a best
foot forward there, you know, close, but no Cigar I
feel like Hovedy had a look at the open three
at the buzzer to win by one point and it
just you know, just circle.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
The rim and came out.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I mean, he was very close, but Arizona's an airball.
Arizona was not good. We should have won that Senate
seat Nevada. I think Sam Brown is new to this obviously,
a very impressive guy and a guy that the country
always a tremendous debt to. Didn't have the same name recognition,
didn't have what they had before in that what rather
others would have from running before in that state, and
(10:23):
he made a good run of it. And I think
there may be a role for him in the Trump administration.
So I think he might be involved in something like
that Dave McCormick play going to orientation. Chuck Schumer is
now admitting that Dave McCormick won. That was a tough one.
That was an uphill battle that a strong candidate was
able to pull out in Pennsylvania. So it's a little
bit of a mixed picture in those Senate battleground states.
(10:45):
But Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, that is what Democrats are
hanging their hats on right now, saying, see, we can
still compete in battlegrounds, we just can't beat Trump with Kamala.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, listen to some of these numbers, Buck, because I'm
glad you brought up the Senate. Rodgers lost by twenty
thousand votes forty eight point six to forty eight point three.
You've got in in Wisconsin, Eric Hovdy losing by thirty
thousand votes forty nine point seven to forty eight point eight. Arizona,
(11:19):
you've got Carrie Lake. Let's see, sorry, make sure that
I get that right. Looking at these looking at these numbers,
I mean, it's just crazy how close they all ended
up being. Carry Lake lost by seventy thousand votes in Arizona.
And to your point, Buck, that's a state that Trump
won by two hundred thousand votes. And in Nevada, Jackie
(11:42):
Rose and the incumbent won by right at twenty thousand votes.
So we're talking about tiny, tiny margins. And it's also
worth noting the Democrats wildly outspent by and large all
of the Republican Senate candidates in those states. So we
were so close to truly transforming the United States Senate.
(12:03):
One hundred thousand total votes nationwide and Republicans would be
at fifty seven basically instead of at fifty three. Fifty
three is still a good margin three and a half
with the tie, but as you look towards twenty six,
Democrats are going to think we can kneecap President Trump
by taking back the Senate. And to me, Buck, what
it also hammers home is you've got to be incredibly
(12:26):
productive in the first eighteen months because you don't have
a guarantee of having the majority in the second half
of your term. You'll be a lame duck. Trump will
once we get to the midterms. Whatever huge success he's
going to have has to be set in the first
eighteen months. Really the first year. We have to have
(12:47):
out of the gates incredible momentum. Since nine to eleven,
Ton of the Towers Foundations been supporting America's greatest heroes
and their families, Heroes who protect our communities and our country.
Heroes like firefighter James Dickman passionate about fire safety, and
James aspired to do everything in his power to keep
his community and fellow firefighters safe. While responding to an
(13:09):
apartment fire, James and his crew tried to save people
who were thought to be trapped inside. When the situation escalated,
James wasn't able to escape. He perished in the blazing inferno.
Cause of the fire, Arson James leaves behind his loving wife, Jamie,
his children, Page and grant. Tunnel to Towers gave the
Dickman family the gift of a mortgage free home. Jamie's
grateful to Tunnel to Towers and to caring friends like
(13:32):
you for lifting the financial burden of a mortgage off
her shoulders. Donate eleven dollars a month to Tunnel to
Towers at t twot dot org. That's Tea the number
two t dot org. Your gift will be a true
life changer for families like the Dickmans.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Welcome back into clay An Buck.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
As we're getting more and more about what the Trump
team is going to be in terms of the cabinet,
I think it is becoming clear to everyone by the
ways Cash Patel, friend of the show, friend of ours
is he It's reported with him right, But I haven't
seen it in that this has been breaking and all
these different I think some people have reported things that
aren't or rather they've confirmed things that have not been confirmed.
(14:11):
When it comes to these appointments. I've seen some of that,
especially on the Secretary of State stuff. But Cash Mattel
may be CIA director. That's what people are discussing on
on the of all the cabinet positions. I'm very curious
to see who he wants to be. The age Clay
and I agree that attorney general for Trump is you
just need somebody who is both brilliant and a warrior.
(14:33):
You need somebody who understands what they're up against, who
knows the system, and who can bend this system to
his or her will and get real reform and also
prevent the kind of lawfair garbage. You know, this is
where Attorney General Sessions. By the way, I think Jeff
Session is a nice man. He just was not He's
not a street fighter. He was not ready for what
(14:54):
was coming and made some huge errors in that first
Trump term. Again, I think he's I think he's a
good man, loves his country, and you know, was trying.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
He just wasn't. He wasn't up for it. He wasn't
up for that job.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Now you look at that role, Attorney general critical also
play on the issue of DHS chief and the deportations,
right Nome has been announced as head of DHS. Massive
kind of a bureaucracy of bureaucracies, right, it's the it's
the umbrella bureaucracy.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And below it there's all these.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Other their Secret Service, there's Border Patrol, immigrations, and Customs enforcement.
This is the major thing that Trump has promised to
do and that he is gearing up to do as president,
which is dramatically increased deportations. Over at CNN and this
is cut five, they're talking about the backlash that will
ensue play this one.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Our community is going to go through pain, Our community
is going to go through cruelty. That is not what
anyone voted for. If this is what you all think
you have the mandate for, go for it. You're going
to see very quick and very horrifically the kind of
backlash ye you're going to get. I don't think people
voted for a cost of almost one hundred billion dollars
(16:05):
that you all are going to spend if, in fact,
you are going to deport the twelve to fifteen million
some people in your party think it's twenty million unduck
inmened immigrants that are here. This is an administration that
has no clue what is about to happen. They are
clueless in terms of the real world effects of something
like that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
She has no clue because it is at least twenty million.
Put that aside.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Look some people in your party they said it was
eleven million. They've admitted ten million of coming.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
In four years. Can she do math? Apparently not.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But Clay, this is going to be I think the
central fight of year one of the Trump administration. They
need to have people ready to go. Tom Homan, I know,
is absolutely ready to go.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, you need to have people ready to go, and
you need to have people with strong backbones, because I
think this is where their resistance is going to dig in. Look,
there are a lot of things that need to happen.
The tax cuts are expiring. We need to get the
American economy overall growing at a fast rate. We've got
to beat inflation. We've got to get interest rates down.
(17:04):
There are a lot of different major pocketbook issues that
are in play. But I suspect if I were out there,
this is where the resistance is going to form, which
is why this has to be really well organized. It
has to go directly after young men with criminal records
to start and get the process rolling of what these
(17:24):
mass deportations are going to entail. By the way, it's
not just about deporting people who are here either, Buck,
It's also about sending the message to anyone trying to
come illegally that you don't get to stay here, which
at least stems the flow to begin.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
With absolutely the case. All right, we'll take some calls
coming up here as well. Phone lines are back in
action today. We had phones down yesterday, so we'll talk
to you big into phones. Yesterday was Veterans Day, but
we honor our men and women every day here on
Clay and Buck. My cell phone service company, Puretalk, does
so too. As a veteran led company, the team at
Puretalk is passionate about helping our returning veterans. That's why
(18:00):
Pure Talk has alleviated ten million dollars in veteran debt.
Every month, they donate tens of thousands of dollars to
help prevent veteran suicide. In fact, Pure Talk just donated
fifty thousand dollars to micro Works and an organization providing
scholarships to veterans learning the trades after active duty. When
you switch your cell phone service to pure Talk. Your
dollars are supporting a good cause and providing you with
(18:21):
great cell phone coverage. Look, this is my cell phone
coverage network. I'm on Puretalk. I rely on them. I've
been with them for years. They get it done. Dial
pound two five zero say Clay and Buck. Save it
additional fifty percent off your first month again from your phone.
Now Dial pound two five zero say Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Thanksgivings not
very far away. Buck, You and I are excited about this.
We're going to be in Florida. We'll have a bunch
of family and friends. I am confident that at my
Thanksgiving there will be people who voted for believe it
or not, family big gathering. They are going to be
(19:03):
Kamala voters. That's fine. I'm gonna enjoy watching football, drinking beer,
and knowing that the good team won. I'm not gonna
need to feel necessarily the need to gloat. And I
would never even remotely think about the idea of saying, Hey,
you aren't allowed to come to my family Thanksgiving because
(19:24):
I disagree with your personal politics.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I think that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I would suggest that the vast majority of you agree
the same way. I actually give credit to jd Vance
here on election Day, you remember Buck, he said, Look,
you may vote differently, but the idea of giving up
a lifetime friend over the fact that you might have
a different political opinion in this election, to me is crazy,
and I would stand by that. I just had a
(19:48):
twenty year law school anniversary. A lot of people voted
the opposite way of me at that law school anniversary reunion.
I had an awesome time. Still, but that's not the
way the l is responding. They are absolutist and they
are now going on. This was a woman going on MSNBC.
Buck who is a psychiatrist. She went on Joyreid's show.
(20:11):
I would submit that she actually should be giving as
much help to Joyreid as she could, because I think
that chick is crazy and actually not mentally well and
regularly says insane things. So if anybody needs a psychiatrist
on daily television, I would submit it to Joy Reid.
But no, this MSNBC psychiatrist said, you guys, it's okay
(20:35):
to not make the decision to go out there and
attend Thanksgiving. You can let people know how you feel
listen to this.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
There is a push, I think, just a societal norm
that if somebody is your family, that they are entitled
to your time, and I think the answer is absolutely
not so. If you are going into a situation where
you have family members, where you have close friends who
you know have voted in ways that are against you,
(21:04):
like what you said, against your livelihood, and it's completely
fine to not be around those people and to tell
them why, you know, to say I have a problem
with the way that you voted because it went against
my very livelihood, and I'm not going to be around
you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
How crazy is this that this is what MSNBC is
saying to their audience that basically you should And there
are lots of left wingers out there. I've only seen
left wingers so far doing this because I think they
are the ones that are psychologically broken. They're the ones
that have been saying for a decade now, if you
vote Trump, You're not welcome at my Thanksgiving. How crazy
(21:47):
is this that this is a psychiatrist going on and
talking to I think, unfortunately a lot of psychologically broken
people and telling them it is completely normal to make
your political opinions dictate what you do over the holidays.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
If you can't stomach being around half the country in
a social setting, and particularly if it's a family member
you've got you've got mental health problems. Yes, it's just
straight up. It's there's no way, there's no way to
sugarcoat it. There's no way around this if you can't
be around a family member who voted differently than you,
and we know this tends to be a one way street.
If you're a lib who can't be around somebody who
(22:22):
voted for Trump, you have a problem. There's something wrong
with you. I grew up in New York City, lived
in New York City most of my adult life. I
was outnumbered by Democrats everywhere constantly. And you know, you
figure it out. You're polite to people, you go through
your day to day. You just try to conduct yourself
with all of the you know, the best ideals in mind,
(22:42):
and you don't act like a lunatic and they're acting
like maniacs. And going into Thanksgiving, I think is going
to be particularly tough in some families where people, you know,
the media realizes, by and large, we we've talked about
this that the whole Trump is Hitler thing was just
a It was a con, It was a lie, it
was a slam. It was just to get people emotional
upset voter turnout. There are people out there, lots of them,
(23:05):
who actually believe that still and they are emotionally damaged
by this.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
And if you question whether they actually believe it or not,
you know who's having lunch in the White House tomorrow
at eleven am, Trump with Biden. I just think if
you were an honest purveyor of the media landscape to
go from Trump is Hitler, He's fascist, all of his
(23:31):
supporters are garbage to Trump wins the popular vote and
just pivot on its heel and Biden now is going
to have Trump in for lunch Like we were joking
about yesterday, you wouldn't have Hitler over for lunch. This
argument they made was such a lie. I will say this, buck.
(23:52):
Did you see the video of doctor Jill Biden with
Kamala at Veterans Day? I just what the stories that
are still to come from out of this White House.
I think Jill hates Kamala. I think she legitimately hates
her wearing that red outfit on election day, Are you
kidding me? And I wonder what the conversation is actually
(24:16):
going to be like between Biden and Trump, because I
think Biden may actually, interestingly enough like Trump now more
than he likes Kamala and right, I mean think about
you know, I don't know what the conversation will actually be,
(24:36):
but if I were guessing, I bet Trump walks in
and one of the first things he says is, look,
they screwed you. Uh, you would have been a much
tougher opponent than Kamala. They didn't treat you fairly like
I think I would have very Trump. I think I
would have beaten you too, but it would have been
a lot harder. You were treated really unfairly, And I
(24:57):
think Biden's going to be like, yeah, I agree with
all of that.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Uh you know, Clay, somebody who wrongs you is upsetting.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Somebody who betrays you is a whole level beyond right.
And this is why I think I've said before in
the show The in the Final Circle of Hell and
Dante's Inferno, it's those who betray you, know.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It's the world.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I'm sorry the word yes, yes, it's people who have
been entrusted by others with either power or with or
with love or with uh, you know, bonds of brother
brotherhood and betray that that that is really the worst.
And I got to tell you, I think I think
(25:41):
Joe Biden feels betrayed by Kamala Harris. I think that
if I were Jill Biden, and I'm not. It's not
a doctor, but I would feel particularly outraged that my
husband was shoved aside to make room for somebody who
was completely inept. I mean, now, it's it's not like
we were saying that they say stuff about Trump Clay
(26:02):
that they know is untrue to try to help get
more votes.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
What we said about.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Kamala was true, then it is true. Now it is
just the truth. She was a horrible candidate.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
You were right about the fact that she was going
to like the numbers, but can we just point out
California buck as we started the show, has only counted
seventy six percent of the vote. I mean, whatever your
politics are, come on, California, Florida can count twenty million
population of twenty million plus I don't know, ten million
(26:36):
plus total votes before all was said and done. Two
hours after the polls closed, We've got basically one hundred
percent certainty on Florida. How in the world can we
be sitting around still waiting to see what the final
tally is going to be. Thankfully, Trump won so substantially
that it doesn't matter. But we're one week after the
election and California still has only counted seventy five percent
(26:59):
of its votes. My wife ife was talking because she
works here in the elections in Tennessee. I mean, this
is such a calculated decision by California to allow this
to happen. In most states, they basically lock everybody in
a room and say, hey, you've got to tally all
these ballots. We're not going to allow you to leave
because we want to make sure that the ballots are secure.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
This is unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The fact that this situation could be still ongoing. Again,
thankfully Trump won by so much that it doesn't actually matter,
but the fact that we could be going back in
time effectively. I was looking at the data buck eighteen
sixty four was the first year I believe that California voted.
It might have been eighteen sixty They got the election
(27:46):
done in the Civil War infinitely faster than now, like
Lincoln got results from California in the eighteen sixty four
presidential election faster than we're getting them in twenty twenty
four presidential election. Maybe maybe this is a big fall.
Maybe we should rectify it. Maybe we should shine some
(28:08):
embarrassment on Gavin Newsom who thinks that he's gonna now
be the standard bearer of the Democrat Party going forward.
Just something worth thinking about, regardless of your partisan leanings.
This is unacceptable. But the delectable nature of this discord.
I just I'm gonna be honest with you. I cannot
(28:29):
wait to see more about this and more of the
details to come out.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yes, and there's the theory. We haven't addressed this yet,
but it was raised. I got a lot of headlines
over the weekend. Yeah, Biden, you want to talk about
this next? Yeah, let's talk Biden step down to allow
Kamala to technically be the first black female president.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
For a month or two before the.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Election, this was brought up, It was discussed widely in
the media. I think this goes to some of the
feelings in the Biden camp, and we will discuss whether
we think that that is something that would even be
under consideration. Because the gentleman who brought it up is
somebody that I actually know. He is very well connected
in Democrat circles. I can tell you he knows all
(29:18):
these players. He knows them all personally. And if he's
bringing it up, it's because somebody else has brought it
up to You know. What I mean is, I don't
think he just came up with this out of nowhere.
So we'll come back here in just a second. You know,
few things are more precious to family members than the
member memories.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
That they share.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Back in the day, they were captured on video and
print photos. Stuff like that VHS tapes. A whole bunch
of dusty old VHS tapes were held in boxes in
the back of the closet in my parents' house in
New York. You know what we did with him, got
them transferred so now we can watch old videos, share
photos of ourselves, you know, Halloween costumes, recitals, first communions,
(29:58):
all kinds of stuff. Thanks to Legacy Box. If you've
got old tapes or photo albums, Legacy Box will take
them and make sure that precious content will last for
generations to come. Legacy Box does this better than anybody
else that it from my family for Clay's family and
right now, because they really want you to try out
their service, because once you try it, you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
They've got a nine dollars per.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Videotape sale going on that's roughly sixty five percent off
their regular prices. The result are brand new digital files
that you can email, post, and most importantly, easily watch
on your phone, computer, or smart TV. Think of the
hours of entertainment in your family's future because of this
transfer process that Legacy Box.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Makes so easy.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
And also it means you're gonna be able to cherish
these memories for years, even generations to come. Go to
legacy box dot com slash buck for this nine dollars
per tape deal. That's legacy box dot com slash buck.
Welcome back into Clay Endbuck. We're gonna get to this
theory here in a second about maybe one of Biden's
(31:00):
last moves coming up. But first, Crockett coffee, my friends,
it is what I'm drinking right now. I had to
clean my mug, Clay, so I don't have a cool
mug for everybody to see. But I'm just holding up
my coffee for no parent reason. Then, But Crockett Coffee.
Fantastic great day yesterday. Thank you all for standing with
us as we build this company. You know, the communists
have come after us online. You guys rally do our side.
(31:21):
We really appreciate that. We're rolling to other people's sides too.
We've got other shows now that are going to be
doing their own ads for this. We're helping people monetize
their podcast. People in the early stages of their building
their audience are now going to be pushing out there
the message of Crockett Coffee. And you can get a
signed copy of American Playbook Clay's Book use promo code book.
(31:43):
If you subscribe, we'll send you a sign copy of
the book just as a thank you for being a
new subscriber to Crockett and I'll see you get deals
on your first month. It's all at the website, go
to Crocketcoffee dot com. I know some of you are like,
I already drink coffee buck. I'm like, well, why are
you supporting communism with that coffee? Because it probably is
from some Starbucks, like massive corporation that does not share you,
(32:04):
share your values, and does not send you Clay's signed book.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
They do not do that. At Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I will have you know, also, maybe a decent Christmas
gift for people out there. And I know a lot
of you because I'm in part of this camp. You
don't really know what to give someone. Autograph, copy of
the book and coffee. What an incredibly thoughtful gift that
would be, particularly for some of you, maybe men who
(32:30):
are not always great. I'll just toss it out there
at gifts. You know somebody likes the show Boom, there
you go, Crocket Coffee dot com. We got a bunch
of callers who want a way in. The phones, by
the way, were down yesterday. We weren't all ignoring you.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
They thought we just wanted to keep talking and talking
and talking. The phones are We're told back up and running.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Here.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Janet in Pennsylvania, what you got for us?
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Hi, good afternoon from Pennsylvania. I just wanted to comment
on the psychiatrist that was on MSNBC telling Joy Reid
to ignore her family and tell us study in her
family that she didn't agree with. Yeah, so don't show
up for Thanksgiving. You know, I just when you were
playing that, I had the saddest thought, and it was
(33:17):
that in two thousand and one, in the year. In
two and a half months after the September eleventh attacks,
during like the month, the entire month of November, all
anybody could talk about was how they couldn't wait to
get home and be with their family, and they wanted
to see their family more than anything else in the
(33:38):
whole world. And it's just been it's only been twenty
three years, and just look what the Left is done
to this country.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Thank you for the call. Awful and thank you for
saving America. In Pennsylvania, by the way, uniquely with both
a Senate seat and a president vote.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I'll just point this out. My father in law died
in May and I was in that hospital room. It's
an awful experience. It's great to be able to say
bye to people. But if you were, or if a
member of your family were to die this fall or
this winter, do you think your primary thought would be,
(34:17):
how did my family vote in the presidential election?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Even if it just happened. No one is actually thinking that.
No one on their.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Deathbed is thinking, hey, in nineteen eighty four, how did
my family members vote.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
No one actually is thinking that. One of the primary signifiers,
one of the primary.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Red flags of a cult is the demand of isolation
from loved ones, family members, friends. When you are isolated,
you are decontextualized. You lose a sense of balance, a
sense of where you are on things, and any political
ideology in this country, any political party or political candidate
(35:00):
who would support you not talking to your family or
being around your family even at Thanksgiving is by definition,
uh a toxic by definition, something that should be rejected
out of hands.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I think that's well said, But I would just point out,
if you've ever been in those hospital rooms in the
final moments of someone's life, you're not talking about how
you voted in the two thousand and four presidential election.
Don't destroy family relationships over elections. Duke in California, Fast here.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Like to put out.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
Cherry Lake for press secretary.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Thank you for the call.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
She would be good at communicating there, Buck, We feel
like Caroline Levitt is going to get that job. She's
been on this program a lot, smart, young, savvy.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I think Trump she'd be my pick. She'd be my pick.
And you know, there's a lot of people that would
be very good at that job. I think she's earned
the right to get to be in that seat. Given
what she did for the campaign. But look, man, maybe
Cary Lake, A lot of other names out there we
floated around, but we hope it's Caroline Levitt and we'll
see how this goes and shakes out. I got to
(36:10):
come back to this, Will Kamala get to be president
for not a day but you know, like thirty days
or something.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I think we all know the answer.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
But it does go to the Biden Kamala inner workings,
and we want to discuss where that is coming up.
