Hour 1 - Buck Experiences the Future · The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome, everybody.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Wednesday, Clay and Buck kicks off right now. Oh, man,
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: we have less than a week. Less than a week,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: my friends, until election night. There's going to be some very,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: very tight races. Some people are saying it's going to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: be beautiful. There also might be some disappointing results for
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: some races.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: We'll see. I'm optimistic. Clay is optimistic.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Although, who would have thought that as the country is
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: seeking victory, to figure out what its political leadership will
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: look like for the next couple of years, at least,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Clay Travis would start an absolute firestorm online with his
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory analysis.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: We're dead, by the way. Forget it. I think, you
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: know what?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: If I lose our Kamala bet, I don't think I'm
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: taking you to the gold case fancy steak place. I
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: think we're getting whatever steaks they've got on the menu
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: at the Cheesecake Factory because you have started a.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Left-wing echo chamber.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Ecosystem is obsessed with my Cheesecake Factory takes and the
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: fact that I have correctly said that it is a
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: high-end establishment. I got to tell you, Buck, we got
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: some good news out there on Republican early voting. Now,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: I don't want us to take complete credit for this,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: that us and by us, I mean mostly me, shaming
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: everyone with the fact that you and I are better
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Americans than them because we have already cast our ballots.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Has actually led to a.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Surge in early voting among Republicans, and there's actually a
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: lot of good data out there. I'm not a poll guy,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: meaning at this point I don't think it makes sense
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: to pay attention to polls because we're approaching 40 million
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: actual ballots, and in those 40 million actual ballots, there
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: is virtually no difference at all between... What happened in
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: 2022 and what happened in 2026 with the early vote?
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Very good signs, cautious optimism out there that the so-called
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: blue wave has not materialized in any way yet.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, we haven't hit Election Day, but we love optimistic
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: takes and we'll certainly be sharing those with you. I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: want to tell you, we've got a stacked. You're like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: who are you guys going to talk to today on
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the show? We have Mike Rogers, as in in maybe
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the most pivotal and brass knuckle brawl Senate contest out there.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: He is going to talk to us about how he's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: going to beat El Sayed. I'm sure he's going to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: talk to us about the latest from the campaign trail.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: But this Michigan Senate race is critical. Mike Rogers joining
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: us here on the program. Maybe because we have a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: huge audience in Michigan. I mean, you know, who am
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I to shy away from trying to help get the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: word out there? So Mike Rogers is with us. By
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the way, Ali, invite Al-Sayed on. Let's see if Al-Sayed
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: wants to come on. We probably have already invited him,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: but we can remind him that he is welcome to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: come on here and explain his fondness for the Muslim
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Brotherhood and or why he thinks that America should go
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: full socialist. We'll discuss this. We can also tell you
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that John Huston, U.S. Senator from Ohio will be with us.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: He is in a unfortunately closer than it should be.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: But I still think I'm hopeful that Houston can pull
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: this out.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I really am. And he's going to tell us why
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: we have, again, a lot of you in Ohio listening.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So that's cool.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, uphill battle in California. But he's a great man,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the Steve Hilton. And we are very much looking forward
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to talking to him about where that stands, at least
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: in the governor's race in California. And then just to summarize.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: even spice things up further. We rarely have four guests
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: on the program.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Very, very rarely.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: But we just had so many people that wanted to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: call in before the election. We have to take senators
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: who are in critical races.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: But Andy, no, you all know him from the guy
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: who's done more than probably anybody else in America to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: show the truth of Antifa. He has a new book
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: out about a trans death cult. And this has to be.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: taken very, very seriously because we've seen what happens as
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a result of some of this trans death cult ideology. So, Clay,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that's just an overview of where the guests are on this. Also,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: by the way, I bought a Tesla Model Y yesterday.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I'll share with you guys my thoughts on that later.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Short version is this car is amazing. And I think
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of you who don't have kids yet, who
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: are maybe going to have kids, I'm not sure your
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: kids will even learn to drive.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I really thought. You're just jumping.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: This is where you are now completely on board, basically,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: with everything. This may be the most simpatico we have
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: ever been on anything. You co-signed basically everything that I
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: told you before you had tried the Tesla, if not
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: even more enthusiastic than even I was in my endorsement.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: The only thing that you and I might fight over
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: on this issue is who loves it more.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Who is like.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: The captain of the fan club? And you're like, don't fanboy.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Guys, you got to try one of these things. I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: not saying it has to be your only car. If
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you can afford a second car, which I know is
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: expensive and a big deal, but for some of you,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: especially you've got a husband and wife, you're both working,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: as a second car option to me, if you have
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: two cars, you can go trade it in, by the way.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You can trade in your car, and that goes toward it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: And by the way, your car is around $ 50, 000, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: they have like 1% interest that you can pay off
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: for eight years. We don't get paid by Tesla. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: just think it's one of the most remarkable American engineering
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: feats of all time. Trust me, if you get in,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: you're going to be blown away. You're going to feel
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: like you're in the future.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I bought my Tesla sitting on my couch from the app,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: picked exactly what I wanted, showed up at the pickup place,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and just had to do a little paperwork.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I was out of there in under an hour, the
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: whole thing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Under an hour.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: For anybody who has bought a car, how often do
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: you spend the whole day sitting there, signing papers, going
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: through the process of what is required to take on
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: a car? I mean, it is infuriating for purchasing a
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: car how much time it takes.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: The first used car I ever bought, actually, the first
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: used car experience I ever had was at a.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: At a New Jersey, oh yeah, used car lot with
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a guy who had multiple, he was Eastern European, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: don't know where exactly, multiple gold chains and an undershirt
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: under his dress shirt that like really, he was the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: whole package, everybody, the used car guy from New Jersey.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And I did not get the better end of that deal.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: My point being that everything about this Tesla situation is smooth.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: It is efficient.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It is easy.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: It's like being in a spaceship.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: We're not doing an advertorial here or a content or
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: a commercial for Tesla.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Although they should.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: They should.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Elon actually retweeted my video, which is out on our
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: social media. He retweeted the video of me driving home
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: in it. And it was just in earnest. I was like,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: this car is incredible.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: This is amazing.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So I will come back to that maybe a little
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: later on. We can talk about it. You can make
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: fun of my man. I don't even care. Clay, I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: will turn in my man card if I get to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: keep my Tesla. I think I'd rather have the Tesla.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about this when you were waxing eloquent
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: on the new car. You now have me, you, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Sean Hannity.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Boom, boom, boom.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Jesse Kelly would fit in one,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: and I'm not sure what Glenn Beck drives, but we
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: almost have the entire lineup of radio guys that you
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: listen to on many of these stations nationwide all in
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: on the Tesla.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I would be.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: personally shocked if glenn beck did not have a tesla
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: in his in his stable of how many cars does
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: glenn have about 20 i don't know he's not like
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a jay leno guy but he's got more than one
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: car he's got more he's got you know houses in
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a few different places um jesse kelly one of the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: coolest pop culture collections in private hands anywhere in america
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: i mean the stuff that he has in the history
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: yeah the historical stuff that glenn has is amazing he's
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: got his own museum But maybe we can troll Glenn
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a little bit and see if he'll join the Tesla
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: mafia with the rest of his radio hosts if he
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: has not already. So anyway, guys, I know you want
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to talk politics. We're going to get right into it. Trump,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: clearly the Obama cheesecake thing has struck a nerve, as
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Clay has found out. Trump opening up in Corinth, Mississippi yesterday.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: This is what he had to say about that. This
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: is cut one.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Hit it. Oh, I'm sorry.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: That was yesterday's sheet. That's still a very important comment
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: that he made about the Cheesecake Factory. Clay, tell me
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: in the meantime, why is it that you... Yeah, he
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: was in Texas, by the way. That's why I was like,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: wait a second. He was in Mississippi yesterday. What is
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the heat about on this one? Because you're Team Cheesecake Factory,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: so why are people getting mad at you?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: People are saying that I didn't go to the Cheesecake
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Factory at a young enough age to say that growing
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: up going to Cheesecake Factory was a high-end dining trip.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: And I just think that's a little bit crazy. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: don't know about you, Buck, but for me, and let
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: me just say this as a general rule. If you
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: are a parent or a grandparent, And you are in
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: a position where you are more financially secure than your kids.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of us, when we would go
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: out to dinner, it's a nice thing when your parents
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: or your in-laws can pick up a dinner. Even when
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: you're young in your 20s, even when you're young in
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: your 30s, it is a big deal, I think, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: a great thing when the in-laws or the parents say, hey,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: let's go out for a meal and I will pick
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: it up. I have told my kids that I'm probably
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: paying for every meal that we have for the rest
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: of my life. My dad still tries to give me
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: occasionally a $ 20. bill when I go by the house
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: like this is a parent thing. So they are fired
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: up because and I'll admit this I didn't know exactly
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: what year the Cheesecake Factory first came to Tennessee. We
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: had it in Washington D.C. when I was in college there.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: It was in Atlanta and When, you know, if you
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: were growing up in Nashville and you went to a
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: pro sports game, you would go down to Atlanta. So
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: they are like coming after me over at what age
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: did you first eat at the Cheesecake Factory, Clay? And
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know exactly, but this is how
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: rattled I think they have gotten. They have tried to
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: turn the conversation from Obama being out of touch to
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: and mocking people who like to go to the Cheesecake Factory,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: which is a high-end dining opportunity. I've taken the opportunity, Buck,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: to just dive in and analyze basically every chain restaurant
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: because I think I've eaten at all of them over
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: the years.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: But it's really got them kind of rattled.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: This has turned into now a data war online over
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: these things, and I will tell you that They're looking
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: at the which chains are in the most valuable neighborhood.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: So they're using essentially this. And it's a really interesting
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: data point.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Proximity to the different places as a essentially this is
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: what like the wealthiest wealthy areas have the following and
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: less wealthy areas have the following in them. Um, uh,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: if you have Pilates, Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, I always,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I think of all those as liberal as kind of left, uh,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: left coded brands. Those are the top of the wealthy
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: neighborhood index, if you will. Uh, if you go down
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: a little bit, by the way, the cheesecake factory is
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: pretty solidly in, uh, you know, High, high end territory.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory is you.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: You are again with people because it is super cool
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: and it makes sense where like based on where the
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: restaurants are is a proxy for how expensive it is
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: to live in the neighborhoods basically is a simple way.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: That's what the data is showing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: And if you have a Whole Foods, you're basically close
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: to 50% more expensive than areas in your region with
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the same population density. So essentially, other parts of your
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: suburb or other parts of your city, you're up 50%
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: if you're near a Whole Foods. Cheesecake Factory is almost 30%
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: in the plus column, meaning you're at the higher end.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: And then you get– and by the way, I love this.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: The ones that are in the middle, as in this
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: is kind of people just like it and it doesn't–
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: it's neither low-income or high-income coded are Dunkin' Donuts, Best Buy, Starbucks,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: and actually In-N-Out. So those are all– if you've got
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a Best Buy, you're in America. It doesn't mean that you're–
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: it's not for a rich area. It's not for a
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: lower-income area. And then the ones that are coded for
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: lower-income areas are at the very bottom of the list. AutoZone,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Little Caesars, Dollar General, getting roughed up with this data. Yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: that doesn't surprise me at all. I mean, again, if
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: you're out and about and you see Dollar General store,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: you think, okay, this is probably a little bit of
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: a lower income area. And Little Caesars, my wife loves
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Little Caesars, but it is one of the most affordable
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of all the pizza places out there. And yeah, it
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: just kind of squares with what I was saying, which
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: is for most people, A Cheesecake Factory is high end. Again,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: it sounds like a small thing, but the fact that
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: they are fighting so aggressively over it is I think
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: we have hit them with you're.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Out of touch. Obama has lost his fastball.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Back in the day, I even tweeted this at the
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Obama bros, the speechwriters. I don't think Obama would have
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: made this joke in 2008 or 2012. When do you
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: think the last time that Obama went in a chain
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: restaurant was, Buck? Has he been in a chain restaurant?
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Has he been in a non-wealthy neighborhood?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Not as a campaign stop for somebody else, because I'm
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: sure he shows up to Burger King and is like, oh.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: He's very good at those kind of places like Trump is.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: I can't remember the last time he was in a, quote, unquote, normal,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: non arena like setting where it was unscripted and he was.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Just hanging out.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I think Obama is the king of code switching in
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of ways. I think he can do the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: fancy thing and he can be the everyman thing. It
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: depends on the audience he's in front of. But, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: not the king of it. I mean, Trump is every
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: bit as good. But I think Obama's got that ability. Look,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: we'll get back into this. And also, now that I
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: have today's soundbites from Texas in front of me. Sorry
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: about that, guys. We'll get into what Trump was saying
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: about that. Because Ken Paxton is very much in this race.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: And it's going to come down to the I think
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: he's going to win. But all of you Texans need
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to show up and we'll talk about the latest in
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the Paxton-Talarico showdown. I think that one, Clay, if we lost,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: would hurt the most. I know every Senate seat is
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a Senate seat, but if we lose Texas, that would
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: hurt the most. So we got to have this be
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Fortress Texas.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: And it's not just about losing Texas. It's that Talarico
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: is an objectively awful candidate. And so if we lose
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: that one, I think it's where we sit back and say,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: my goodness, what in the world happened? All right, speaking
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: of what in the world happened, did not have a
• 15:26

  Speaker 3: Welcome back in, Clay and Buck.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: We're going to come back and play Trump at Texas,
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: saying that he would potentially be putting Ted Cruz on
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. A lot of different moving parts associated
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: with that story, but what it really goes to is
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Maybe the biggest thing at stake in this midterm is
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: control of the Senate in the event that there are
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: openings for the Supreme Court and what that could mean,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: we will discuss. In the meantime, one easy way to
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: improve your sleep, Cozy Earth Sheets. By my account, world's
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: most comfortable sheets.

  Speaker 1: We love them.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: The kind you'd find at a five-star resort hotel. You
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: won't want to get out of bed. Cozy Earth Sheets
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: made with a certain kind of fabric wicks the moisture
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: our bodies generate when we're sleeping.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: You end up staying cooler.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Don't wake up uncomfortable kicking off those covers and those sheets.

  Speaker 1: That's CozyEarth.com, code Clay.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: And when they ask where you heard about them at checkout,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: let them know you heard about it at Clay & Buck.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Welcome back in to Clay & Buck in New York.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Both excited to dive in here.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: We were talking, Buck, about the Texas rally that President Trump,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: multiple Texas rallies that President Trump had yesterday. I talked
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: to people who are pretty in the know in Texas yesterday,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: and I want everybody in Texas to continue to vote.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: So what I am telling you, I do not want
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: to change anyone's voting behavior. Just FYI, as we sit
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: here six days out. that Democrats increasingly, it appears, have
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: punched themselves out in their voting for James Tallarico. And
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: as each day of early voting is continuing, Republicans are
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: showing up in really big numbers, and there is starting
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: to be increasing pessimism in the Democrat camp. They won't
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: say it publicly, but the Tallarico tide has reached, I think,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: its crest.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And there is a lot of momentum.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Many people have woken up in the state of Texas
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: and are showing up every day right now. I want
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: everybody listening in Texas, get out, make sure you have voted,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: make sure your friends and family have voted. but that
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: there is a lot of optimism in the Paxton camp
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: based on the numbers that they are seeing and where
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: the votes are coming in.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I just would tell you guys, we haven't lost faith
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: one day in Texas. No matter how bleak the polls looked,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: never lost any faith in Texas to come through. So
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: don't break that faith.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Show up. Get it done.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Make sure we deliver that Senate seat for Ken Paxton.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Something else Texas-related that came up, Clay, yesterday was, As
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Trump was in the great state of the Lone Star State.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: There's a great historian, by the way, who wrote a
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: number of books, including Lone Star, A History of Texas
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: and the Texans.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Ferenbach.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Do you know this guy, Clay? It's from a while ago.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Great historian and writes a whole book. He got me
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: into his book on the Comanche.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: You've talked about the Comanche before. I didn't know what
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: the name of the author was. Yeah, this is as
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: I'm doing the show.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I have one of my I have my bookshelf in
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: front of me that has a whole.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I do have it. I'm a little nerdy.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I have it sort of organized by subject matter, not
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: obviously by alphabetical. And so I'm looking at Indian Wars
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: of Texas, Lone Star, Empire of the Summer Moon, all
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: these different books. But back to Texas. This was really
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: interesting because we've talked about this long ago on the show.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Here's what the president said. This is cut to about
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court and a certain Texan.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Hit it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Ted is a brilliant guy. Brilliant lawyer. Brilliant. All that
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: went to law school.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Top student.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Everything possible to get it past the Democrats or the
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Republicans together. I would pick Ted Cruz to be the
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: next Supreme Court justice.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have to worry. I wouldn't even have to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: make a phone call.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: The Democrats will 100 percent vote for it because they
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: hate the guy and they want to get rid of him.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: And the Republicans would 100 percent vote for it because
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: they can't stand him.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: They would like to get rid of him.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: So I'd get 100 percent of the vote and he
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: would be a Supreme Court justice and he'd do a
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: great job.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: It's such a Trump thing on the one hand. I
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: think it's a brilliant move, Clay. We've talked about this.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Very funny, though, at the end that he's saying that,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: of course, the Democrats hate him. But I think that
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I think you might even get some Democrat votes for
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: him on the Supreme Court, maybe one or two. I
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: think it's possible he called in a favor. But put
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: that aside. Ted Cruz in the Supreme Court would be fantastic.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: He would be an amazing Supreme Court justice. I think
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Ron DeSantis would be an amazing Supreme Court justice. Guys
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: who are really incredibly knowledgeable about our Constitution and All
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: of law.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I've told this story before.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I think Ron DeSantis in his ideal world just gets
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: to read court opinions and make smart decisions based on them.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: He actually reads the opinions themselves, which, trust me, is
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: very rare for most politicians. And I think both guys
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: are incredibly skilled, would be phenomenal.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: They're young. So you could have them on.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: The court for 30 plus years and they're reliable in
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: terms of how they would vote. I think what Trump
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: was getting at there, though, is maybe the most important
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: thing that is at stake this particular cycle. I don't
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: have a lot of faith that the House is going
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: to pass much, no matter who has control of the House.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: I do know if there is a Supreme Court vacancy,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: which odds are in the next two years, quite high
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: might happen. If there is that vacancy. then it seems
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: quite likely to me that if Democrats have control, we'll
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: sit for two years with eight Supreme Court justices, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: we will find ourselves in a situation where until January
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: of 2029, no one can actually get confirmed on the
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court. So to me, the most important likely scenario
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: that could apply, we know Judge Alito talked about the
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: possibility of stepping down, We saw what happened with Ruth
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Bader Ginsburg. We saw what happened with Scalia. When you
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: get over 75 years old, your health can go in
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: a hurry. And we have seen this happen quite a
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: lot on the Supreme Court where you don't know who's
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: going to have the power to be able to make
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: an appointment. If we have 50 and the tie break,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: thanks to J.D. Vance, then I think this is maybe
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: the most significant possibility out there. And it's a reason
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: to vote by itself because it's a decision for the
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: next 30 or 40 years.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: And then there's Trump weighing in on the fact that
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are running a very strange out of the mainstream. Look,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Tallarico isn't out of the mainstream for Portland, but he's
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: not running for mayor of Portland. He's running for Senate president.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: In Texas. And here is this is.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Cut for Trump on Tallarico on one aspect of him
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: that we've discussed before.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Hit it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: If you're running in Texas and if you don't like
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: guns and if you don't like meat and if you
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: don't like oil, I.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Think you should be losing by a lot.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Where the hell did they get this guy from running?
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: But he's attended sexualized drag shows for kids and even
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: said that he's a favorite drag queen. He knew all
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: the names of the drag queens.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: My favorite drag queen?
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: Who the hell knows that? And not only did Califrico
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: state that God is transgender, he actually said that if
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Jesus Christ himself came and visited the Texas legislature, Jesus
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: would be promoting sex changes for little children.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I just don't think that guy can become a senator
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: from Texas, Clay. And I think Trump really just says
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: what a lot of us are thinking.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: And again, I just come back to when Beto ran
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: against Ted Cruz, Beto was the best possible candidate that
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: could be found for the Democrat Party in Texas. And
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: so the fact that he raised a ton of money
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: and he was competitive against Ted Cruz did not surprise me.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think it surprised, frankly, a lot of Texans.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: He was as good as Democrats could do. Tallarico is
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: nothing like the average Texan.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: And you heard Trump there talking about the litany is
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: off the charts. I think a lot of people in
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Texas just didn't pay attention because it's hard to take
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: him seriously. And you have to understand that he is
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: the upstart. They've put hundreds of millions of dollars behind
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: him and Texas has to wake up and get out
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: and vote. And I think they are, which is why
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: I said I am hearing increasingly pessimism in Tallarico's camp
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: and a lot of optimism in the Paxton camp. Every
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: day of early voting, Republicans are making a statement now.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: get out and vote, and then we know on Election
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Day Republicans are going to overwhelm Democrats too, that firewall
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: that Democrats tried to build up with all the enthusiasm
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: in the first couple of days, it's now gone. And
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of reason to be optimistic
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: going forward if you are in Texas. I also think, Buck, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa–
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: I think that Democrats are getting increasingly troubled by the
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: fact that they ever thought they could win there. Now,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: you want me to be negative? North Carolina, tough. North
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Carolinians need to get out and vote. Democrats have posted
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: some big numbers in early voting there. Ohio, as we
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: have said, both governor and Senate, we need all of
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: you out in Ohio voting too. But I think the
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: sort of middle part of the country right there with
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: the Nebraska with the Kansas, with Iowa, with Texas.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I think we were trending in a very good spot.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Forced to pick right now. Forced to pick. I think
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Mike Rogers actually squeaks it out in Michigan.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're joining the team.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I think he squeaks it out. What did you say,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: less than 15,000 votes? I said he's going to win
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: by 26,000 votes, which is very specific.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Very specific.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Very specific.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: He lost by about $ 17, 000 or $ 18, 000, I think, in 2024.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: I think that he is going to find a pathway
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: to win in Michigan. And I think Susan Collins in Maine.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: I think she's going to get it done.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought that. Susan knows the game, and she
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: knows how to get it done. I've had a lot
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: of confidence in her the whole time. Sununu, I think, unfortunately,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: has fallen a little too far behind Pappas there, which
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: is a shame. But maybe not. Election Day, New Hampshire,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: we got New Hampshire listeners. Election Day has not even
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: come yet. So who knows? Don't listen to us. Just
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: go and vote. Clay's vote shaming campaign, by the way,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, some members of my family have
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: just they don't want to get called out via proxy
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: on air as in buck. Have your family members voted?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: So I'm not going to name them, but I've had
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: family members who are like. Tell Clay I voted. I
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: don't want to, you know, they're all voting early.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: You've seen the comments. I actually dove in. Overwhelmingly positive,
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: the vote shaming. There are some people who are upset
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: and don't like to be vote shamed. But there are
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of people that need to get called out.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: It's like, Buck, you coached.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Everybody has to be coached a little bit different. Sometimes
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: you have to cajole. Sometimes you just have to call
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: people out and say, hey, get off your ass.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: We're better Americans than you. Go vote.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that motivates. Well, I think,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: what is it, Alabama that doesn't have early voting? So
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: obviously we're not calling out Alabama.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: If you can early vote. New Hampshire has no early voting.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: We never advocate for any of you to break the
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: law or attempt to do so. So, yeah, no early
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: voting in states that don't allow it, obviously. But for
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: those of you who can. It's a good idea to
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: do so. Speaking of voting, we've got a guy who's
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: trying to become the next governor of California, Mr. Steve
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Hilton Clay. He's going to come hang out with us
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: here in a minute. Notice a lot of folks in
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: the important races. They're like, I know what I got
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: to do last week before the big vote day. Go on,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Clay and Buck. I'm going to tell you that is
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: a sound strategy. Makes a lot of sense because of
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: the reach of this program. Our investors look for opportunities
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: to grow the money that they have, and gold is
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: an investment opportunity. After two years of attention-getting growth, gold,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: its value has leveled out. And that may be the
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: perfect reason, though, to consider owning gold for the first time.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Some might call it a buying opportunity. Look, saving money
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: is good, of course, in cash and in gold. If
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: you don't own any physical gold, I encourage it. It's
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: one of the best investments I've made in about the last, oh,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: dozen years or so. That's why I recommend learning about
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: owning physical gold and learning from Lear Capital. Right now,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Lear will send you a free precious metals investor kit
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: explaining how gold and silver can fit into a diversified
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: retirement strategy. Don't wait until after the election. Don't wait
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: for the next big spending bill to continue to chip
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: away at the value of your dollar.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Call Lear.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: 800-957-GOLD.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: That's 800-957-GOLD. Or go to learbuck.com. That's L-E-A-R-BUCK.com.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Smart, fun, sane commentary. The Clay and Buck Show. Stick around.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: More is coming up just the way you'd expect it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome back in, Clay and Buck.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: We are rolling through the Wednesday edition of the program
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: six days away. From the midterms, early voting underway. We
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: head out to California with our friend Steve Hilton. Steve,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: I want to let you make the pitch right off
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: the top. Why do you need every Californian with a
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: brain getting out and voting for you as early as possible?
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: And what are you seeing on the ground in California?
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Fire away.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: How are you doing, guys? Great to be with you.
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: We're in the final stretch now. There's a lot of
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: energy out here. I don't know if you've been seeing.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: We've got absolutely huge crowds showing up to our rallies
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: across the state. We were in San Diego County Monday,
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: Orange County yesterday, tonight in L.A., tomorrow Fresno, Friday Sacramento.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: Something's happening. People are done with the chaos and the
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: cost and the homelessness and the crime. And here's the
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: very simple point. It's so true everywhere. Everyone talks about turnout.
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: It is exactly right here in California. As I said
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: to you many times before, we need about 6 million votes.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: That's what we think we're going to need, not just
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: to do well in this election, but to win the election.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: 6 million. In 2024, in this state of California, President
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: Trump got 6.1 million votes. Now, that's a presidential year.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Midterm turnout is lower. But the reason I mention that
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: is that the votes are there if we want to
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: finally get Make some change happen in California and send
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: a message to this far left Democrat insanity that we're
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: done with it.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Steve, appreciate you being with us, guys. Steve Hilton in California.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: You have to get out there and vote for him.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I think we Texas and California are two biggest markets
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: for listeners. So a ton of you out there get
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: out there and vote for him. Look, I have I
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: have a strange confidence here, Stephen. Maybe it's because. Bearded
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton is just unbeatable. Clean-shaven Steve Hilton would have had.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: A tougher time.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Bearded Steve Hilton, I think, is too much for the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: communist machine to handle in the state of California. But
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: of all the messages you could have hit on this one,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I think the affordability issue, which is the top of
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the heap for everyone everywhere, in California, it's a mess.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: They've got to vote for you if they don't want
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the mess to continue.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's very simple. what we can get done,
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: and I can get this done without the legislature. Here's
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: the simple point as well about the state of our politics.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: The Democrats run the legislature with a two-thirds majority. They've
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: been doing that since 2012, which is one of the
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: reasons we're in this mess. They've had total unconstrained power
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: to do anything that they want. Now, I've been very careful.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: to put forward plans that I can get done without
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: the legislature, directly through what the governor can do. And
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: two of those top ones are exactly what you just said.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Lower tax, cheaper gas. On tax, I'm going to cut
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: the budget back by $ 25 billion, starting with canceling high-speed rail,
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: getting rid of fraud in the Medi-Cal system, and a
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: few other things that we've outlined here. to cut state
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: income tax, your first $ 150, 000 tax-free, no state income tax.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: It's the quickest and most direct way of getting more
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: money in your pocket for the government to take less out. Secondly,
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: on gas prices, which are now $ 2 higher here than
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: the national average, I can bring that down pretty much
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: overnight by suspending two really important provisions In this law
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: that was passed 20 years ago, the Global Warming Solutions
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: Act that imposes a hidden tax on gas. So my
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: target is $ 3 gas. That will take some time to
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: get to. But we can immediately bring the cost down
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: by at least $ 1, if not more, pretty much overnight.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: Lower tax, cheaper gas.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Amen, everybody.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Go vote today for Steve Hilton. Get out, make California
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: voice for sanity. Heard, Steve, we know how hard you're working.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: We appreciate you, and we got your back. Everybody in California,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: go do the same. Vote for Steve Hilton.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you, brother. Q, see you soon.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: All right, that's Steve Hilton. When we come back, we
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: got a lot more drama for you.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Keep hanging.
