Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We
appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we
are rolling through what I would call the Unity edition
of the Republican Convention. Tomorrow, Trump will speak, But last
night many of you said it wouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Candidly, I have not. I don't think Buck has either.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
When we said, hey, we know it's kind of nasty
right now, we understand if you are a Nicky Haley
supporter or you are Ron DeSantis supporter, there are raw feelings.
I believe we got this one right, and we got
to the convention, everybody would be coming together, and I
(00:51):
think this is the strongest unity that the Republican Party
has seen in the Trump era by far. Twenty six
everybody remembers Ted Cruz, who spoke last night, did not
officially endorse Trump after that nasty primary battle.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And when I was covering that RNC, I said Ted
will eventually and should.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Have, and I think now he would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And twenty twenty obviously not really a traditional convention. It
was a complete mess because of everything associated with COVID.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But last night, I want to play this audio.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Curious we don't have a lot of time to take
calls today because let me just tell you, oh boy,
I mean, this is the rundown. We are in radio
row in Milwaukee. We're meeting a ton of you all
over the city, all over the country, people up here
who are listeners. But we particularly love the Milwaukee crew
who are volunteering, who are helping on with us year
(01:47):
in about a half hour, Congresswoman Yes, Dean Kin formerly
Superman Superman Stephn Miller, our buddy who probably will not
only tell you how the campaign's going, but give you
nineteen eighty nineties movie suggestions.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
The left calls him a super villain, but that is untrue.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes, Dave McCormick, who is running for Senate in Pennsylvania
and was there on the stage preparing to be introduced
and to speak when Trump was shot. That story from him,
I would imagine will be very compelling. Senator Bill Haggerty
of Tennessee. David Sachs, who is the basic one of
(02:28):
the PayPal Mafia members, really good buddies with Elon Musk
Twitter X, announcing amid all the other news that they
are leaving California and moving to Texas. Yesterday afternoon, we'll
talk about all of the big tech.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Money that is now rolled.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Are supporting Trump and Senator Dan Sullivan from Alaska.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That is just what is scheduled.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It is also possible if you were listening yesterday, Lee
Greenwood happens to be walking by and we bring him
up to talk about singing to bring Trump onto the stage.
So we are in the middle of the epicentery. Oh,
who may hop on the show. We are enjoying it.
We hope you are enjoying it as well. But the
DeSantis and Nicki Haley people who many of whom understandably
(03:17):
we think Ron DeSantis best governor in the country. Nicki
Haley obviously a lot of people trying to do whatever
they thought was necessary to beat Biden. I want to
play you the full throated endorsement of each of those individuals.
So hopefully all of you that are super active online
and arguing.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I'm not gonna go vote, I'm not gonna show.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Up, I hope that all of you have given up
on those emotional screams into the void that feels like
many of you embraced on social media for a while.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Let's start just some, just some. It was a handful,
but they were a loud voice.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
They were very loud on and they were whining all
the time. We even took some calls. Do you remember
from people who said I refused. I would wonder if
any of those people still exist. I hope that they
do not, but it certainly doesn't exist in the Republican
Party itself. Let's first listen to Nicky Hayley give her
complete and total endorsement to Donald Trump last night.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Here's what it sounded like.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I'll start by making one thing perfectly clear, Donald Trump
has my strong endorsement period.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Look, we've seen a move toward unity behind Trump that
even exceeded what we had seen from multiple sham indictments
used as the law fair campaign against Trump because of
the assassination attempt, because I think it has made it
so clear to everybody the stakes right now. Also, just
(04:54):
I think you have to take into account the sense
of the divine of the miracle that Trump walked away
basically fine, not without a scratch, but just with a scratch.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
This is Trump's party.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, there's no there's no voice within the Republican Party
that has the support of any considerable contingent of fellow
Republicans that is not all.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
In behind Donald Trump right now, and you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Really couldn't wish for anything better politically at a national convention.
So even the New York Times is one of the
headline was at the convention GOP transformation from dysfunctional to unified.
Now we can argue whether it was ever dysfunctional, but
the point is there are a lot of there's a
lot of regime media here. Yes, you know, I had
some French dudes coming up from me yesterday from Frank.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
They're like, during the show, I was trying to interview,
interview the.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Most fantastic American we've ever seen, would you like to
explain all of zippolitics to us? And I was like,
Monsieur Francois, give me a minute, and of course.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Do the interview with French media. Oh yeah, the guys
try to interview.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I don't know if you could hear it, tried to
interview your bar show while we're on the air.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
He was just like trying to walk right up on
the stand. Probably wi He had like a little beret
and a baget.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I'm just kidding. They never beret. But we've there's a
lot of media from all over the world here, and
there are a lot of regime media. There's Reuter's Ap
New York Times seeing in everybody right yep. Point is
nobody who is here would make the case that this
isn't an incredibly unified GOP. And I would argue even
those for whom it is painful to say it. Clay
(06:34):
admit that right now the GOP with the Nikki Haley
endorsement of Trump, we're about to get the Rod DeSantis
endorsement of Trump. I don't know if there's ever been
a more unified GOP. You would have to go back
to Post nine to eleven Bush era oh four, I
think you would. I think you'd have to go back
to and and even then with the Iraq War GUS
as it was, there was already this anti war stuff
(06:55):
going on. So I actually think this is the most
unified GOP in living.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Okay, So I think we should also give credit to
the Trump team, which has also done a good job
of reaching out to all of these individuals giving him
speak Sean. Remember, because there was talk, oh, Nicki Haley's
not going to be there, Ron de Santis not going
to be there. Well, last night they were there. We
just played Nicki Haley's full endorsement. Here's Florida Governor Ron
(07:20):
De Santis last night saying, I'm all in on Trump.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I am alarmed that the current president of the United
States lacks the capability to discharge the duties of his office.
Our enemies do not confine their designs to between ten
am and four pm.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
We need we need a commander in chief who can lead.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Twenty four hours a day and seven days a week.
America cannot afford four more years of a weekend at
Bernie's presidency.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Weekendeded Bernie's presidency, by the way, Bernie's too. But that
is something that analogy is something we've used on this
show for some time. I've seen it echoing all over
the internet from that speech, as Trump enjoyed that reference,
as he probably remembers well the nineteen eighties era of
(08:24):
that film.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Fantas for Nicki.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Haley, for everyone in the Trump campaign that they have
brought that entire group together.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yes, and so we.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Told you this would happen. It did happen, and so
no one owes us stakes per se. But I'm just
saying this is one that we got right because it's
and it is not only that, it is more importantly
the right thing for the GOP. Right now, we have
Congressman Anna Polina Luna with us, so we're going to
come back in just a moment talk to her about
all the goings on here at the r NC and
(08:58):
much more. Here's just a little teaser where we're going
to go with that conversation. A lot of noise from
You got to imagine very connected people on the hill here,
the most connected, probably the most connected people you could
get on Capitol Hill are here, certainly from the Republican side,
and they have a lot of similar sentiments about Democrats
(09:19):
moving their funding and their game all in on the
House because they think that the Biden that's right reelection
effort is now Biden is becoming the toxic part of
a company that the company will spin off and allow
to go into bankruptcy and they'll try to salvage other assets.
That's what it is looking like right now, based on
(09:42):
not just Republican sense, but the Democrats on the hill.
So we'll ask Congressman and a point a little bit
about that in just a second. But you know, some
are maybe the worst time of the year for online
identity theft tied closely with the holiday season. So many
people are traveling, You're using credit cards, You're going all
over the place. You're not paying us close attention to
what's going on in your name online right because you
(10:03):
got a lot going on. Every transaction, unfortunately, is an
opportunity for a cyber hacker to get a hold of
your data by planning malware on credit card processing machines.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Atm machines, you get those text.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Messages you oh wait, I need to check in for
a flight or some they're so sophisticated, these text message
phishing scams. You got to really be careful out there,
and you also need someone to have your back. Lifelocks

We just here Clay Travis and Buck Sexton mic drops
that never sounded so good. Find them on the free
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
All right, welcome back in Clay and Buck live at
the r and see we are here with Congresswoman Anna
Paulina Luna and I just did it so so Congresswoman Luna,
it is clear that there's tremendous unity, tremendous electricity, all
that stuff we've been saying every day.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I honestly was expecting the RNC to be a little
more ho hum, but we all understand why that is
not the case, and that there's a there's a laser
like focus on the importance of politics and also the
importance of the Republican and the Trump mission. How are
you seeing it right now? How does it feel be
a few days into this and to be one of
the most noteworthy new members of Congress by the way, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
You know, I think it's telling and pretty interesting that
I'm being asked to speak and I'm a freshman member
of Congress. I think I obviously am more of a
populous official. I definitely think that the message and really
the shift that I've seen within the party even just
happened over the last year and a half, It's been
pretty incredible to witness, not just from a member of perspective,
(12:24):
but from a historical perspective. And I really think with
the events that transpired on Saturday, moving forward, I mean
President Trump, So we were with him last night in
his presidential blox at the RNC watching everything. But you know,
he is very much so involved. You'd figure, you know,
he'd have staff do this. No, he is very much
so involved with every single aspect of this, to include
the messaging. And so when you're seeing every single day
(12:44):
we have a concise tailored message on what that topic is.
You know, I'm speaking tonight, We're going to be talking
on national security and the military, and so I'm pretty excited.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Where were you on Saturday when the assassination attempt happened
And what was that experience like for you?
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yeah, I was putting my baby down, and so when
I you have an almost one year old, Yes, so
I was putting him down. I was feeding him, and
I put my phone on do not disturb. And so
the only person that can bypass that is my husband,
which is ironic because in twenty fourteen, my husband was
shot in Afghanistan and he called me to tell me
that he had been shot, and this time he called
me to tell me that the president had been shot,
both of which it had like brought me back to
(13:22):
I'm like, like, is he okay? And then immediately I
called actually Caroline Lovet and I said, what are you hearing?
And she goes, he's in the hospital. He's gonna be
making a statement, So just sit tight. And so when
you hear that happen the minute, and I think it
was really important because he knew and that it's you know,
anyone probably would have cowered, and his active defiance getting
up that's when you really see what someone's made of.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So I wouldn't get criticized him by the way, if
he if he had crawled on all fours, get off
that stage.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
There's no shame in that. Sha.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
He got that in defiance and just like courage and
just said fight, fight, fight. But then also too, you
knew he was okay, and he's sending a signal to
his supporters that he was okay. So it was pretty incredible.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
You have had a crazy life change. You became a
congresswoman from a super competitive district. I'm curious what you're
seeing on the ground in Florida where you won. You
also became a mom. What was more earth shattering becoming
a mom or becoming a congresswoman?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
What changed your life more?
Speaker 8 (14:17):
Probably a mom because it rewires your brain chemically. But
what I will say is that even just winning my election,
I was that spent twelve million dollars to one in
my general election. I'm in a very very Republican district now,
so we have a lot of people that have moved
from New York that are just like, we're done, You're welcome, Yes, yes,
district thoughted and loaded. Now we're locked and loaded metaphorically speaking, yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
What do you think about the Democrat strategy that seems
to be emerging. You know, we were talking to all
these Hill staffers last night here. That's the fun thing.
You get to see everybody and.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
See the Hill tea.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It turns out, well, yeah, it turns out a lot
of Sentence staffers and a lot of Hill staffers.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Play listen to this show every day, which makes me
very appreciate.
Speaker 8 (14:59):
That I might get in trouble then what I say.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
But they're all pretty much aligned in thinking that right
now the Democrat Party, their whole strategy is going to
shift from anything to get Biden over the finish line
to we just have to get the House to try
to throw a wrench into the Trump agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Correct. Basically, they know this thing's over.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Yeah, they know that's he's not gonna win.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I've talked him many members.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I've also talked to never Biden members of the Democrat Party,
and so they know that it's over. I think Biden administration,
for what I'm hearing, also knows that it's over. They
did are they are trying to do something via an
executive order to actually treat Ukraine like a NATO member,
to actually prevent President Trump from actually being able to
do anything in that regards. But I am also hearing that,
(15:44):
and I don't know if it's a correct headline. I
have to verify, but I heard that Ukraine and Russia
are potentially in peace talks now, so we'll see what
ends up happening with that it and have to fact
check that. But you know, what I'm also seeing is
that I do think that they are trying to then
target these competitive seats, but again, based on what happened
on Saturday, and based on the fact that I think
a lot of people are just sick and tired of
(16:04):
how expensive everything is, and that's really what it's coming
down to.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think that we're gonna win.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
For people watching tonight, What kind of preview can you
give us about what your speech will be like and
what is that experience do you expect going to be
like to walk out and have millions of people watching.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Well, when you put it like that, very stressful, no pressure. Yeah, Yeah,
I'm actually going to be talking about something that I've
been talking about for a while, and that you can
have peace through strength, but you don't have to involve
yourselves in every foreign conflict. And I think we need
to understand, and I think President Trump understands us the best.
Really what our military families, our military goes through. I'm
(16:38):
a vet, my husband's a VET. But again, you know,
you walk with the big sick and hopes that you
never have to use it.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
If you get to pick right now in advance, one
piece of legislation by issue, right, I mean, I know
legislation can be a thousand pages long, but that Donald
Trump would sign as his crowning legislative achievement along with
Congress in year one.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
What would it be on? Is it on immigration? Is
it on that? Securities? And on the economy?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
What would be top of the agenda unified government Trump
term two?
Speaker 8 (17:06):
I would say if he could do it via an
executive order, right and have it? Do you want to
executive an executive order? Because I don't want it to
be watered down. He needs to defund every single federal
agency that is illegally investigating and going after American citizens
utilizing FIZO.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Wow, that would be a big, big change, big move.
How nervous are you? Last question here as we as
we finish off, and we encourage all of you to
watch tonight. Congresswoman Anna Pauline a Luna. How nervous are
you about the FBI investigating Tom.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Extremely I'm extremely nervous.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
I actually reposted a tweet that Thomas Massew put out.
We are trusting the same organization to investigate that wasn't
able to find who planted.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The R and C bomb pipe on.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I think that's incredibly accurate. Good luck tonight. We're all
rooting for you, and congrats on almost. I mean we
were rooting for when she was being out, but congratulations
also on one year old almost.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That's a big deal and we look forward to watching tonight.

Rolling through the Wednesday edition, Clay Travis, buck Sexton Chow.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Tons of guests here live from Milwaukee, day before Trump
officially gives his address, and we got so many different
people to talk to, including Jason Miarez, who is a
big University of Tennessee football fan, even though he's the
Attorney General of Virginia. We may get into that a bit,
but you've been suing the NCAA. I love everything about this.
(19:30):
It's good to see you in person, but let's start
here Virginia. You know the state well, big success in
twenty twenty one with Glenn Youngkin getting elected is it
in play in your mind. What kind of polling are
you saying, can Trump and now JD Vance really put
Biden on the proverbial ropes by getting a win or
(19:52):
even being super competitive in Virginia in about three and
a half months.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 9 (19:57):
I've seen at least three different polls that have shown
that they are either tied or even Trump is up
slightly in Virginia. And I best can capsulate. I was
at the grocery store, believe it or not, to go
out to parking lot and there's a bumper sticker in
a car that simply said, make groceries affordable again.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
It's good.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
And that is literally what we're seeing, not just in
Virginia but nationwide. It's hard to live under Joe Biden's
Joe Biden's America. And I actually looked this up this morning.
If you look at what is since Joe Biden's taken office,
I'm gonna read these numbers for your audience. Groceries up
twenty one percent, dining out up twenty one percent, the
cost of baby food thirty percent, pet food twenty two percent,
(20:37):
rent twenty percent, electricity close to thirty natural gas thirty
use cars. The cost of used cars up over twenty percent,
air for a thirty percent real average weekly rages down
negative four percent. So you're making less take home pay
because you have the inflation, as President Reagan said, is
a tax on the poor. It's hard to live again.
(20:58):
So that is impacting Virginia. I talked to somebody at
the Trump campaign literally last night who said, believe it
or not, New Jersey is now getting into play. And
so what you've seen is every day the forgotten man,
as they say, the people that get up every day,
they go to work, they try to play by the rules,
and every day they see it is harder to live
under Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
And when you.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Spend money like Argentina, you're going to get inflation. Like Argentine,
Argentina actually wised up and elected a new president. But
I think that's why Virginia's a play and you're seeing
a certain level of energy and really a sense of
we have weakness abroad, weakness at home. We need a change,
and so I think Virginia's going to come down to
the wire.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
What are some of the successful moves that Governor Youngkin
has done in your state to help put us in
this position where we can have a entirely serious conversation
about Virginia being some being a state that Donald Trump
could win, when if you go back not very far,
it felt more and more to people like it was
going purpose to glue.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So it's going to the other direction. How to govern? Youngkin?
And you as State of Trade General, Well, how'd you
get a going there?
Speaker 9 (22:01):
Well, you know, I called the Virginia Renaissance. We took
over he at a far left liberal monopoly, and Virginia
was an example of what happens when the left gets control.
They got power for only two years. They had a
criminal first victim last mindset. We had a murder rate
that was at the time a twenty year high. We
were struggling economically. Governor Younkin came in a record investment
in law enforcement. Who's could stand with police in set
(22:23):
of against it. He gave over five billion dollars in
tax relief. Virginia just got named the best state in
the country to do business, and a lot of that
is what Governor Younkin has done. Where he says we're
going to be open for business, we're actually going to
unleash the greatest job creating engine the world has ever seen,
which is the American entrepreneur. And so I think as
a result that is trickled down to Virginians and Governor
(22:43):
Yunkin has fantastic approval ratings in Virginia. Virginian see that
and they think, wow, you're right. Republican governance works. Yeah,
And I think that has actually had an impact this
year as well.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know the state of Virginia. Well, for people out
there who haven't spent time in Virginia, you got northern
Virginia right where crafts try to run up the margin, right,
and then you have basically the rest of Virginia, which
is a very different state, right the Washington suburbs compared
to the rest of.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Northern Virginia is southern DC. Basically, So what does a map?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
What does the map look like if you're you know,
thinking out three and a half months, you drive down,
I would imagine the margin in northern Virginia. But how
many people out there when you guys won, where did
you look at and say this is the region where
you can kind of get the bell weather since for
how Virginia.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Okay, so a couple key key areas not to get
all political science professor on you. But yeah, in northern Virginia,
you want to get between forty to forty two percent
of the vote because down ballot you're downstate, you're going
to win huge margins. You're gonna want to get over
seventy percent of the vote. In southwest Virginia, right there,
right near the East Tennessee where I grew up, you
get the Shenandoah Valley, deep deep Bread, south side of Virginia,
(23:51):
deep deep Bread, the Q the Q key areas are
going to be the areas of the Richmond suburbs, Chesterfield
and Reicho, Hannover are going to be Key. And then
my home area where I grew up in Virginia, Beach
Norfolk has the highest concentration of activeduty military of any
metropolitan area in the country.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So very very patriotic. A lot of clan Buck listeners
are just.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
Something right, no clam a big fan and every time
I'm on. You know, I got some high school friends
that always text me as soon as I'm off, so
I expect to hear from them. So in the Hampton
Roads area, they are big clam Buck fans and they're
a big patriotic area as well. And so Hampton Roads
is they called the swing area of a swing state.
And I got to tell you, you get around in
(24:34):
that area, you see a lot of Trump flags, a
lot of Trump flotillas, and a lot of Trump yard
signs popping up everywhere. So I think it's gonna be key.
That's where it's gonna be fought out.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You're a buck has found this out and he sees
it everywhere all over the R and C. I trust
college football fans more than like normal people, right, So.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Like he belongs to a secret society.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, And people will come up to me and you know,
they'll talk about whatever's going on with the RNC, but
they really want to dive in and say, hey, what
about the Big ten expanding?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
What about the SEC?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
As a kid growing up, what was your favorite part
of University of Tennessee football and SEC football at large?
And do you trust like me college football fans more
just innately, no matter who they root for than anybody else.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
There's a sense of passion and culture that comes with
the college football and it's it is multi generational, that's right.
I can still remember as a kid growing up seeing
you know, Reggie White playing and those heroes in the eighties.
I remember the sugar ball win against Miami thirty five
to ten, and the next day at school, everybody was
(25:44):
wearing the how sweet as is.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
You're going to be upset with you.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
But we had Lee Greenwood who's saying, God bless the
USA right there at halftime, and my dad was in
that crowd.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Are you serious? And I was TV.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I was watching it on TV too, But he says
that's one of his favorite sports moments of his life.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Magical.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I'm so old school that for me, it's weird that
Arkansas's in the SEC right, remember when they expanded ninety
two ninety two. So, but what you have with college football,
and this is what I think people, it is one
of the last true meritocracy we've seen in American society
is football, particularly, I think at the collegiate level. It
is the idea that we don't care what your background is.
You have to earn it. Yep, no one's gonna give
(26:28):
it to you. And as a Tennessee fan, I have
a begrudging respect for Nick Saban, But that Nick Saban
speech he gave it the ASP's I think was encapsulated
college football at it's the best the idea of Also,
it's teamwork. You cannot be successful as a team just
being great individually. You could be the best running back
in the world. You don't have a good O line,
you're not gonna go anywhere. And so it is great
(26:51):
to see that. And then the generations. The fact that
Arch Manning's son then became Peyton Manning, who then replaced
him and his father's even a bigger icon. Those moments
in college football you can't replace, and so it's special.
You talk to Georgia fans, they still talk about herschel
Walker yep, and some of the runs that he did.
And so that's the kind of multi generational legacies. It
(27:12):
brings families together. I'm sure you know this. You go
to a college football game, it is a family adding
And somebody asked me this earlier on the radio show
this morning. They asked me, what's it like at the convention?
And I said, joy? And isn't that college sports too?
It's joy. It is a lot agony, but gosh, there's
such joy when you win. Uh, it was, It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I think, which college game should I make Clay take
me to this year?
Speaker 9 (27:36):
Tennessee Alabama in Knoxville and Knoxville. This year, Ribs and
Tied are in trouble.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They're losing. WHOA, They're gonna lost in some I've.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Been on already on this Alabama's going down in Knoxville
two out of three.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Zeban Ara is over, Caitlin de Boord's recruiting. Well.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
SEC media days are going on right now. Buck was like,
I don't even know right that place. Who's in the
Who's in the SEC title game?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Then?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Did you see say been picked Georgia and Texas. He
didn't even pick his own team. I think it will
be Georgia and Tennessee. Okay, keeping my fingers crossed. That
would be amazing. Look, we got coming up next here.
You were just talking about getting to meet him. Super
Superman himself just flew in. Dean Kane going to join
(28:19):
us here a SEC Jason, keep killing it.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Thank you. You also sued the NCAA and kicked their
ass there.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
By the way, for people who've been paying attention, awesome
to see you in person. We look forward to helping
you out there on the line.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Look, I gotta tell you the war in Israel, it's
continued started nine months ago October seventh, still going today,
missile alerts calls to take cover. For more than forty years,
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on
the ground in Israel within hours of the war. Starting
every day since, the IFCJ has been feeding the hungary,
protecting the vulnerable. Attacks continue in the north and south,
(28:54):
but they are resilient survivors who bravely share their stories
in a series the Fellowship calls Facing of Iron. One
of them manned by the name of Danny. On October seventh, Danny,
who volunteers with his local fire department, had to witness
the home of his daughter and son in law burning
down without being able to save them or their home.
He and others could not get to the equipment needed
(29:15):
to save them. Christians like you support Israel through the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's this support that
helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Do you hear more stories like this?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And to show your support for Israel, visit support IFCJ

Twenty four Clay and Bucks weekly campaign Cliff Notes episodes
dropped Sundays at noon Eastern on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
All right, welcome back here to Clay and Buck live
at the RNZ on the floor of Media Row in
the auditorium.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And it's a bird, it's a plane. It's Stean Kane.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yes, here here is rior to that introduction you no
never get you're getting called Superman good heavens a lot worse.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah, trust sir jin Kane of a Superman on television
fame and also now an out conservative, which must be interesting.
As a former California we have a lot of things
to ask you about. I know you're promoting your movie God
is Not Dead, the fifth in the series of that
very successful franchise.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
But you are a I'm a former New Yorker now
at Floridian.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
You are a former Californian now at Nevada, Ada.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yes. How is that going for you? It's going very
very well.
Speaker 11 (30:32):
If you'd told me, first of all, I thought Vegas,
you know, living in Vegas would be insane. But I
live outside of Vegas and I don't go to the
strip like in Maleu. I didn't go to the you know,
Hollywood often, and that's both so I absolutely love it.
Not to mention that the personal income tax rate is
zero versus fourteen point three in California for the upper earners,
(30:53):
which I am blessed to be an upper earner, So
that's a great thing. Life is so much more simple
for me in Nevada. I love it to death. I
fear they're gonna come and grab me and make me
come back. You know, I feel like Gavin Newsom himself.
Weren't they thinking about doing something with the claw there? Yes,
they were, of course they were, because they're hemorrhaging people.
(31:14):
And you know, all the Californians that are listening out
there that love you guys are probably stuck. They probably
can't afford to get out. They make it so expensive
to do anything. And you know they have put a
match in tax on you if you if you sell
your I saw that.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I mean, that stuff is crazy.
Speaker 11 (31:27):
Fortunately, Malibu is not part of LA, so I got
out and that thing didn't affect me.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
But I would have been ticked off. So tell me this.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I got a lot of friends in LA because I
Fox Sports is based there.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I've spent a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I was talking with a buddy recently and he said,
Hollywood and LA in general used to be the place
for eccentrics where different thinkers. Your dad made the movie
Young Guns, which, by the way, I love where expend.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
My dad producing directs.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I watched that VHS so many times, every line from
that movie from him in the family dude, my brothers
and I I did not realize this. I think it's
actually one of the most underrated westerns because it's not
part of that great Clint Eastwood spaghetti western exactly.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Anyway, I'm sorry didn't do Young Guns two as well.
He did not like as Young Guns one, So I'll
go with Buck on this one. Yeah, this is you.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Used to have a wide variety of opinions and worldviews
welcomed and that led to great creative course. When did
you start to notice it changing and turning into a
one party state? As a guy who grew up out there,
you know, it was.
Speaker 11 (32:32):
A subtle It's the change always comes very subtly, and
I would I would hear that going on and on.
You know, when you when you first become you know,
a television star back in the day anyway, and probably
still the same now as you got you get a publicist,
and your publicist, like you have to have a charity
that you support and you have to have. And I
was like, look, I'm twenty five.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
You know.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
My charity was pay my rent. And I was like,
what do I have to support things? Can that happen organically?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Please? You know?
Speaker 11 (32:55):
But no, they were like, they break it down for you.
So I think it I just I guess maybe it
was me getting older. When I had a kid. I mean,
when I had a kid, everything the whole world changed
for me because suddenly I wasn't the most important thing
in the world. And I changed everything. But I changed
the movies, I did, the TV shows, I did. Everything changed,
and I became a father. There's the reason I stopped
doing a series is because I wanted to be a dad,
(33:18):
so I might my values were changing at the same
time that these things were sort of sneaking in there.
And I, you know, obviously COVID, we you know, it
was was a huge part of it, but it was
happening before COVID. It's been happening for a long time.
And I realized that, I you know, when it started,
the the the anti police sort of movement started going.
Everytime I'm a deputy, I'm a sworn deputy, sheriff with
(33:39):
with your last guest, I serve in Virginia.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I served for him. That's fantastic, one hundred percent.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
So I'm a fully sworn a deputy sheriff in in
Frederick County, Virginia. I'm I'm a reserve police officer in Pocatello.
I don't these are the values that I felt were right.
So when people did the opposite and it started going
to you know, anti police, writer can defund the police,
I said, you know what I spoke up against that.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
They're like, well, you speak up agains, what is that? S?
All right?
Speaker 11 (34:04):
Then I'll join and I have and I've been doing that.
So that's just sort of built in my character. But
I've watched it happen. I mean, it's it's accelerating now,
like crazy. Yeah, but but I think there's been a
backlash and the pendulum is swinging back.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
You know, go woke, go broke.
Speaker 11 (34:17):
Is look at the shows and things were put you know,
Hollywood's putting out it's just not you know, that Star
Wars thing isn't doing so well right now, and that
thing is just getting you eviscerated. I don't even want
to watch it.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
But this is this is what's happening all over the place.
I was wondering, how tell everybody a little bit about
the film, because we've only got you for about another minute. Okay,
sure I was. I was gonna ask you something else
about politics, but actually I was talking about.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
See the Gods said. That is the fifth and the franchise.
The first one, God's Not Dead, was ten years ago,
and I played a bad guy in that one, guy
who didn't have any redemptive qualities, but much like myself.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You know, you played anist. Yeah, yeah, well he wasn't
a communist. He was a capitalist.
Speaker 11 (34:56):
And then some oh really okay, and then some but
he is you know, his fiance tells him, you know,
I've got cancer, and he's like, if you can work
that out, then you can come back, you know.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
But that's not my problem to deal with. He's that
kind of a guy. And then they've done.
Speaker 11 (35:07):
Four other or three other professor of yes, right, he
doesn't survive it anyway, spoiler alert. Yet my character comes
back in this fifth one. It's called God's Not Dead
in God We Trust and and it's it's about a
pastor who ends up having to run for a congressional seat.
And then it's the question about you know, uh, the
separation of church and state, and where does God belong
(35:30):
in in in politics and in our lives. You know,
they're they're pushing God. I mean, God's not mentioned in
the Constitution at all, but he is mentioned in and
and the Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance on
your money and God we trust, and the founders were
they believed in God, and it was a big part
of it. And so the question is how much this
and I believe with what President's going to Trump, Trump's
(35:51):
going to say tomorrow night that you know, God had
a hand and turning his head.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
And to finish the question, you've done a lot of
Hollywood show how cinematic and unbelievable was Trump's reaction to
surviving the assassination attempt. From an actor perspective, we talked
about it felt like a Hollywood movie.
Speaker 11 (36:11):
If you wrote that, they'd be like, that's too unbelievable,
you know, And and so I can't even put it
into words. That's one of the most powerful things I've
ever seen. And it speaks to his character and I,
you know, look at I'm a police officer, I've been
with our military all over the place. People get shot
or shot at, they react very differently. It's like I
(36:32):
was a professional football player before. You know, you get players,
you know, great practice for game time starts and yeah,
something happens to him and other people just rise up.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
President Trump rose up. It was one of the most amazing.
Speaker 11 (36:43):
Things I've seen in that image of him with his
hand up, the flag upside down behind him and blood
trickling down his face, and that face that he made
the fight that was.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
It was a seminal moment.
Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We
appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we
are rolling through what I would call the Unity edition
of the Republican Convention. Tomorrow, Trump will speak, But last
night many of you said it wouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Candidly, I have not. I don't think Buck has either.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
When we said, hey, we know it's kind of nasty
right now, we understand if you are a Nicky Haley
supporter or you are Ron DeSantis supporter, there are raw feelings.
I believe we got this one right, and we got
to the convention, everybody would be coming together, and I
(00:51):
think this is the strongest unity that the Republican Party
has seen in the Trump era by far. Twenty six
everybody remembers Ted Cruz, who spoke last night, did not
officially endorse Trump after that nasty primary battle.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And when I was covering that RNC, I said Ted
will eventually and should.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Have, and I think now he would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And twenty twenty obviously not really a traditional convention. It
was a complete mess because of everything associated with COVID.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But last night, I want to play this audio.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Curious we don't have a lot of time to take
calls today because let me just tell you, oh boy,
I mean, this is the rundown. We are in radio
row in Milwaukee. We're meeting a ton of you all
over the city, all over the country, people up here
who are listeners. But we particularly love the Milwaukee crew
who are volunteering, who are helping on with us year
(01:47):
in about a half hour, Congresswoman Yes, Dean Kin formerly
Superman Superman Stephn Miller, our buddy who probably will not
only tell you how the campaign's going, but give you
nineteen eighty nineties movie suggestions.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
The left calls him a super villain, but that is untrue.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes, Dave McCormick, who is running for Senate in Pennsylvania
and was there on the stage preparing to be introduced
and to speak when Trump was shot. That story from him,
I would imagine will be very compelling. Senator Bill Haggerty
of Tennessee. David Sachs, who is the basic one of
(02:28):
the PayPal Mafia members, really good buddies with Elon Musk
Twitter X, announcing amid all the other news that they
are leaving California and moving to Texas. Yesterday afternoon, we'll
talk about all of the big tech.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Money that is now rolled.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Are supporting Trump and Senator Dan Sullivan from Alaska.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That is just what is scheduled.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It is also possible if you were listening yesterday, Lee
Greenwood happens to be walking by and we bring him
up to talk about singing to bring Trump onto the stage.
So we are in the middle of the epicentery. Oh,
who may hop on the show. We are enjoying it.
We hope you are enjoying it as well. But the
DeSantis and Nicki Haley people who many of whom understandably
(03:17):
we think Ron DeSantis best governor in the country. Nicki
Haley obviously a lot of people trying to do whatever
they thought was necessary to beat Biden. I want to
play you the full throated endorsement of each of those individuals.
So hopefully all of you that are super active online
and arguing.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I'm not gonna go vote, I'm not gonna show.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Up, I hope that all of you have given up
on those emotional screams into the void that feels like
many of you embraced on social media for a while.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Let's start just some, just some. It was a handful,
but they were a loud voice.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
They were very loud on and they were whining all
the time. We even took some calls. Do you remember
from people who said I refused. I would wonder if
any of those people still exist. I hope that they
do not, but it certainly doesn't exist in the Republican
Party itself. Let's first listen to Nicky Hayley give her
complete and total endorsement to Donald Trump last night.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Here's what it sounded like.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I'll start by making one thing perfectly clear, Donald Trump
has my strong endorsement period.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Look, we've seen a move toward unity behind Trump that
even exceeded what we had seen from multiple sham indictments
used as the law fair campaign against Trump because of
the assassination attempt, because I think it has made it
so clear to everybody the stakes right now. Also, just
(04:54):
I think you have to take into account the sense
of the divine of the miracle that Trump walked away
basically fine, not without a scratch, but just with a scratch.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
This is Trump's party.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, there's no there's no voice within the Republican Party
that has the support of any considerable contingent of fellow
Republicans that is not all.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
In behind Donald Trump right now, and you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Really couldn't wish for anything better politically at a national convention.
So even the New York Times is one of the
headline was at the convention GOP transformation from dysfunctional to unified.
Now we can argue whether it was ever dysfunctional, but
the point is there are a lot of there's a
lot of regime media here. Yes, you know, I had
some French dudes coming up from me yesterday from Frank.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
They're like, during the show, I was trying to interview,
interview the.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Most fantastic American we've ever seen, would you like to
explain all of zippolitics to us? And I was like,
Monsieur Francois, give me a minute, and of course.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Do the interview with French media. Oh yeah, the guys
try to interview.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I don't know if you could hear it, tried to
interview your bar show while we're on the air.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
He was just like trying to walk right up on
the stand. Probably wi He had like a little beret
and a baget.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I'm just kidding. They never beret. But we've there's a
lot of media from all over the world here, and
there are a lot of regime media. There's Reuter's Ap
New York Times seeing in everybody right yep. Point is
nobody who is here would make the case that this
isn't an incredibly unified GOP. And I would argue even
those for whom it is painful to say it. Clay
(06:34):
admit that right now the GOP with the Nikki Haley
endorsement of Trump, we're about to get the Rod DeSantis
endorsement of Trump. I don't know if there's ever been
a more unified GOP. You would have to go back
to Post nine to eleven Bush era oh four, I
think you would. I think you'd have to go back
to and and even then with the Iraq War GUS
as it was, there was already this anti war stuff
(06:55):
going on. So I actually think this is the most
unified GOP in living.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Okay, So I think we should also give credit to
the Trump team, which has also done a good job
of reaching out to all of these individuals giving him
speak Sean. Remember, because there was talk, oh, Nicki Haley's
not going to be there, Ron de Santis not going
to be there. Well, last night they were there. We
just played Nicki Haley's full endorsement. Here's Florida Governor Ron
(07:20):
De Santis last night saying, I'm all in on Trump.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I am alarmed that the current president of the United
States lacks the capability to discharge the duties of his office.
Our enemies do not confine their designs to between ten
am and four pm.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
We need we need a commander in chief who can lead.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Twenty four hours a day and seven days a week.
America cannot afford four more years of a weekend at
Bernie's presidency.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Weekendeded Bernie's presidency, by the way, Bernie's too. But that
is something that analogy is something we've used on this
show for some time. I've seen it echoing all over
the internet from that speech, as Trump enjoyed that reference,
as he probably remembers well the nineteen eighties era of
(08:24):
that film.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Fantas for Nicki.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Haley, for everyone in the Trump campaign that they have
brought that entire group together.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yes, and so we.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Told you this would happen. It did happen, and so
no one owes us stakes per se. But I'm just
saying this is one that we got right because it's
and it is not only that, it is more importantly
the right thing for the GOP. Right now, we have
Congressman Anna Polina Luna with us, so we're going to
come back in just a moment talk to her about
all the goings on here at the r NC and
(08:58):
much more. Here's just a little teaser where we're going
to go with that conversation. A lot of noise from
You got to imagine very connected people on the hill here,
the most connected, probably the most connected people you could
get on Capitol Hill are here, certainly from the Republican side,
and they have a lot of similar sentiments about Democrats
(09:19):
moving their funding and their game all in on the
House because they think that the Biden that's right reelection
effort is now Biden is becoming the toxic part of
a company that the company will spin off and allow
to go into bankruptcy and they'll try to salvage other assets.
That's what it is looking like right now, based on
(09:42):
not just Republican sense, but the Democrats on the hill.
So we'll ask Congressman and a point a little bit
about that in just a second. But you know, some
are maybe the worst time of the year for online
identity theft tied closely with the holiday season. So many
people are traveling, You're using credit cards, You're going all
over the place. You're not paying us close attention to
what's going on in your name online right because you
(10:03):
got a lot going on. Every transaction, unfortunately, is an
opportunity for a cyber hacker to get a hold of
your data by planning malware on credit card processing machines.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Atm machines, you get those text.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Messages you oh wait, I need to check in for
a flight or some they're so sophisticated, these text message
phishing scams. You got to really be careful out there,
and you also need someone to have your back. Lifelocks
Online identity theft protection is what you need to happen.
LifeLock is what I've had for years, and it's important
how for you to understand how cybercrime and identity theft
(10:36):
are affecting our lives. Lifelocks Online identity theft protection makes
all the difference. If you do become a victim of
identity theft, a dedicated US based LifeLock restoration specialists will
work to fix it guaranteed or your money back terms apply.
It's easy to help protect yourself online with LifeLock. You
just should have this. I have it. It's really worthwhile.

We just here Clay Travis and Buck Sexton mic drops
that never sounded so good. Find them on the free
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
All right, welcome back in Clay and Buck live at
the r and see we are here with Congresswoman Anna
Paulina Luna and I just did it so so Congresswoman Luna,
it is clear that there's tremendous unity, tremendous electricity, all
that stuff we've been saying every day.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I honestly was expecting the RNC to be a little
more ho hum, but we all understand why that is
not the case, and that there's a there's a laser
like focus on the importance of politics and also the
importance of the Republican and the Trump mission. How are
you seeing it right now? How does it feel be
a few days into this and to be one of
the most noteworthy new members of Congress by the way, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
You know, I think it's telling and pretty interesting that
I'm being asked to speak and I'm a freshman member
of Congress. I think I obviously am more of a
populous official. I definitely think that the message and really
the shift that I've seen within the party even just
happened over the last year and a half, It's been
pretty incredible to witness, not just from a member of perspective,
(12:24):
but from a historical perspective. And I really think with
the events that transpired on Saturday, moving forward, I mean
President Trump, So we were with him last night in
his presidential blox at the RNC watching everything. But you know,
he is very much so involved. You'd figure, you know,
he'd have staff do this. No, he is very much
so involved with every single aspect of this, to include
the messaging. And so when you're seeing every single day
(12:44):
we have a concise tailored message on what that topic is.
You know, I'm speaking tonight, We're going to be talking
on national security and the military, and so I'm pretty excited.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Where were you on Saturday when the assassination attempt happened
And what was that experience like for you?
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yeah, I was putting my baby down, and so when
I you have an almost one year old, Yes, so
I was putting him down. I was feeding him, and
I put my phone on do not disturb. And so
the only person that can bypass that is my husband,
which is ironic because in twenty fourteen, my husband was
shot in Afghanistan and he called me to tell me
that he had been shot, and this time he called
me to tell me that the president had been shot,
both of which it had like brought me back to
(13:22):
I'm like, like, is he okay? And then immediately I
called actually Caroline Lovet and I said, what are you hearing?
And she goes, he's in the hospital. He's gonna be
making a statement, So just sit tight. And so when
you hear that happen the minute, and I think it
was really important because he knew and that it's you know,
anyone probably would have cowered, and his active defiance getting
up that's when you really see what someone's made of.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So I wouldn't get criticized him by the way, if
he if he had crawled on all fours, get off
that stage.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
There's no shame in that. Sha.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
He got that in defiance and just like courage and
just said fight, fight, fight. But then also too, you
knew he was okay, and he's sending a signal to
his supporters that he was okay. So it was pretty incredible.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
You have had a crazy life change. You became a
congresswoman from a super competitive district. I'm curious what you're
seeing on the ground in Florida where you won. You
also became a mom. What was more earth shattering becoming
a mom or becoming a congresswoman?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
What changed your life more?
Speaker 8 (14:17):
Probably a mom because it rewires your brain chemically. But
what I will say is that even just winning my election,
I was that spent twelve million dollars to one in
my general election. I'm in a very very Republican district now,
so we have a lot of people that have moved
from New York that are just like, we're done, You're welcome, Yes, yes,
district thoughted and loaded. Now we're locked and loaded metaphorically speaking, yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
What do you think about the Democrat strategy that seems
to be emerging. You know, we were talking to all
these Hill staffers last night here. That's the fun thing.
You get to see everybody and.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
See the Hill tea.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It turns out, well, yeah, it turns out a lot
of Sentence staffers and a lot of Hill staffers.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Play listen to this show every day, which makes me
very appreciate.
Speaker 8 (14:59):
That I might get in trouble then what I say.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
But they're all pretty much aligned in thinking that right
now the Democrat Party, their whole strategy is going to
shift from anything to get Biden over the finish line
to we just have to get the House to try
to throw a wrench into the Trump agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Correct. Basically, they know this thing's over.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Yeah, they know that's he's not gonna win.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I've talked him many members.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I've also talked to never Biden members of the Democrat Party,
and so they know that it's over. I think Biden administration,
for what I'm hearing, also knows that it's over. They
did are they are trying to do something via an
executive order to actually treat Ukraine like a NATO member,
to actually prevent President Trump from actually being able to
do anything in that regards. But I am also hearing that,
(15:44):
and I don't know if it's a correct headline. I
have to verify, but I heard that Ukraine and Russia
are potentially in peace talks now, so we'll see what
ends up happening with that it and have to fact
check that. But you know, what I'm also seeing is
that I do think that they are trying to then
target these competitive seats, but again, based on what happened
on Saturday, and based on the fact that I think
a lot of people are just sick and tired of
(16:04):
how expensive everything is, and that's really what it's coming
down to.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think that we're gonna win.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
For people watching tonight, What kind of preview can you
give us about what your speech will be like and
what is that experience do you expect going to be
like to walk out and have millions of people watching.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Well, when you put it like that, very stressful, no pressure. Yeah, Yeah,
I'm actually going to be talking about something that I've
been talking about for a while, and that you can
have peace through strength, but you don't have to involve
yourselves in every foreign conflict. And I think we need
to understand, and I think President Trump understands us the best.
Really what our military families, our military goes through. I'm
(16:38):
a vet, my husband's a VET. But again, you know,
you walk with the big sick and hopes that you
never have to use it.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
If you get to pick right now in advance, one
piece of legislation by issue, right, I mean, I know
legislation can be a thousand pages long, but that Donald
Trump would sign as his crowning legislative achievement along with
Congress in year one.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
What would it be on? Is it on immigration? Is
it on that? Securities? And on the economy?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
What would be top of the agenda unified government Trump
term two?
Speaker 8 (17:06):
I would say if he could do it via an
executive order, right and have it? Do you want to
executive an executive order? Because I don't want it to
be watered down. He needs to defund every single federal
agency that is illegally investigating and going after American citizens
utilizing FIZO.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Wow, that would be a big, big change, big move.
How nervous are you? Last question here as we as
we finish off, and we encourage all of you to
watch tonight. Congresswoman Anna Pauline a Luna. How nervous are
you about the FBI investigating Tom.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Extremely I'm extremely nervous.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
I actually reposted a tweet that Thomas Massew put out.
We are trusting the same organization to investigate that wasn't
able to find who planted.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The R and C bomb pipe on.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I think that's incredibly accurate. Good luck tonight. We're all
rooting for you, and congrats on almost. I mean we
were rooting for when she was being out, but congratulations
also on one year old almost.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That's a big deal and we look forward to watching tonight.

Rolling through the Wednesday edition, Clay Travis, buck Sexton Chow.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Tons of guests here live from Milwaukee, day before Trump
officially gives his address, and we got so many different
people to talk to, including Jason Miarez, who is a
big University of Tennessee football fan, even though he's the
Attorney General of Virginia. We may get into that a bit,
but you've been suing the NCAA. I love everything about this.
(19:30):
It's good to see you in person, but let's start
here Virginia. You know the state well, big success in
twenty twenty one with Glenn Youngkin getting elected is it
in play in your mind. What kind of polling are
you saying, can Trump and now JD Vance really put
Biden on the proverbial ropes by getting a win or
(19:52):
even being super competitive in Virginia in about three and
a half months.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 9 (19:57):
I've seen at least three different polls that have shown
that they are either tied or even Trump is up
slightly in Virginia. And I best can capsulate. I was
at the grocery store, believe it or not, to go
out to parking lot and there's a bumper sticker in
a car that simply said, make groceries affordable again.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
It's good.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
And that is literally what we're seeing, not just in
Virginia but nationwide. It's hard to live under Joe Biden's
Joe Biden's America. And I actually looked this up this morning.
If you look at what is since Joe Biden's taken office,
I'm gonna read these numbers for your audience. Groceries up
twenty one percent, dining out up twenty one percent, the
cost of baby food thirty percent, pet food twenty two percent,
(20:37):
rent twenty percent, electricity close to thirty natural gas thirty
use cars. The cost of used cars up over twenty percent,
air for a thirty percent real average weekly rages down
negative four percent. So you're making less take home pay
because you have the inflation, as President Reagan said, is
a tax on the poor. It's hard to live again.
(20:58):
So that is impacting Virginia. I talked to somebody at
the Trump campaign literally last night who said, believe it
or not, New Jersey is now getting into play. And
so what you've seen is every day the forgotten man,
as they say, the people that get up every day,
they go to work, they try to play by the rules,
and every day they see it is harder to live
under Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
And when you.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Spend money like Argentina, you're going to get inflation. Like Argentine,
Argentina actually wised up and elected a new president. But
I think that's why Virginia's a play and you're seeing
a certain level of energy and really a sense of
we have weakness abroad, weakness at home. We need a change,
and so I think Virginia's going to come down to
the wire.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
What are some of the successful moves that Governor Youngkin
has done in your state to help put us in
this position where we can have a entirely serious conversation
about Virginia being some being a state that Donald Trump
could win, when if you go back not very far,
it felt more and more to people like it was
going purpose to glue.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So it's going to the other direction. How to govern? Youngkin?
And you as State of Trade General, Well, how'd you
get a going there?
Speaker 9 (22:01):
Well, you know, I called the Virginia Renaissance. We took
over he at a far left liberal monopoly, and Virginia
was an example of what happens when the left gets control.
They got power for only two years. They had a
criminal first victim last mindset. We had a murder rate
that was at the time a twenty year high. We
were struggling economically. Governor Younkin came in a record investment
in law enforcement. Who's could stand with police in set
(22:23):
of against it. He gave over five billion dollars in
tax relief. Virginia just got named the best state in
the country to do business, and a lot of that
is what Governor Younkin has done. Where he says we're
going to be open for business, we're actually going to
unleash the greatest job creating engine the world has ever seen,
which is the American entrepreneur. And so I think as
a result that is trickled down to Virginians and Governor
(22:43):
Yunkin has fantastic approval ratings in Virginia. Virginian see that
and they think, wow, you're right. Republican governance works. Yeah,
And I think that has actually had an impact this
year as well.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know the state of Virginia. Well, for people out
there who haven't spent time in Virginia, you got northern
Virginia right where crafts try to run up the margin, right,
and then you have basically the rest of Virginia, which
is a very different state, right the Washington suburbs compared
to the rest of.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Northern Virginia is southern DC. Basically, So what does a map?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
What does the map look like if you're you know,
thinking out three and a half months, you drive down,
I would imagine the margin in northern Virginia. But how
many people out there when you guys won, where did
you look at and say this is the region where
you can kind of get the bell weather since for
how Virginia.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Okay, so a couple key key areas not to get
all political science professor on you. But yeah, in northern Virginia,
you want to get between forty to forty two percent
of the vote because down ballot you're downstate, you're going
to win huge margins. You're gonna want to get over
seventy percent of the vote. In southwest Virginia, right there,
right near the East Tennessee where I grew up, you
get the Shenandoah Valley, deep deep Bread, south side of Virginia,
(23:51):
deep deep Bread, the Q the Q key areas are
going to be the areas of the Richmond suburbs, Chesterfield
and Reicho, Hannover are going to be Key. And then
my home area where I grew up in Virginia, Beach
Norfolk has the highest concentration of activeduty military of any
metropolitan area in the country.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So very very patriotic. A lot of clan Buck listeners
are just.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
Something right, no clam a big fan and every time
I'm on. You know, I got some high school friends
that always text me as soon as I'm off, so
I expect to hear from them. So in the Hampton
Roads area, they are big clam Buck fans and they're
a big patriotic area as well. And so Hampton Roads
is they called the swing area of a swing state.
And I got to tell you, you get around in
(24:34):
that area, you see a lot of Trump flags, a
lot of Trump flotillas, and a lot of Trump yard
signs popping up everywhere. So I think it's gonna be key.
That's where it's gonna be fought out.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You're a buck has found this out and he sees
it everywhere all over the R and C. I trust
college football fans more than like normal people, right, So.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Like he belongs to a secret society.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, And people will come up to me and you know,
they'll talk about whatever's going on with the RNC, but
they really want to dive in and say, hey, what
about the Big ten expanding?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
What about the SEC?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
As a kid growing up, what was your favorite part
of University of Tennessee football and SEC football at large?
And do you trust like me college football fans more
just innately, no matter who they root for than anybody else.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
There's a sense of passion and culture that comes with
the college football and it's it is multi generational, that's right.
I can still remember as a kid growing up seeing
you know, Reggie White playing and those heroes in the eighties.
I remember the sugar ball win against Miami thirty five
to ten, and the next day at school, everybody was
(25:44):
wearing the how sweet as is.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
You're going to be upset with you.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
But we had Lee Greenwood who's saying, God bless the
USA right there at halftime, and my dad was in
that crowd.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Are you serious? And I was TV.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I was watching it on TV too, But he says
that's one of his favorite sports moments of his life.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Magical.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I'm so old school that for me, it's weird that
Arkansas's in the SEC right, remember when they expanded ninety
two ninety two. So, but what you have with college football,
and this is what I think people, it is one
of the last true meritocracy we've seen in American society
is football, particularly, I think at the collegiate level. It
is the idea that we don't care what your background is.
You have to earn it. Yep, no one's gonna give
(26:28):
it to you. And as a Tennessee fan, I have
a begrudging respect for Nick Saban, But that Nick Saban
speech he gave it the ASP's I think was encapsulated
college football at it's the best the idea of Also,
it's teamwork. You cannot be successful as a team just
being great individually. You could be the best running back
in the world. You don't have a good O line,
you're not gonna go anywhere. And so it is great
(26:51):
to see that. And then the generations. The fact that
Arch Manning's son then became Peyton Manning, who then replaced
him and his father's even a bigger icon. Those moments
in college football you can't replace, and so it's special.
You talk to Georgia fans, they still talk about herschel
Walker yep, and some of the runs that he did.
And so that's the kind of multi generational legacies. It
(27:12):
brings families together. I'm sure you know this. You go
to a college football game, it is a family adding
And somebody asked me this earlier on the radio show
this morning. They asked me, what's it like at the convention?
And I said, joy? And isn't that college sports too?
It's joy. It is a lot agony, but gosh, there's
such joy when you win. Uh, it was, It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I think, which college game should I make Clay take
me to this year?
Speaker 9 (27:36):
Tennessee Alabama in Knoxville and Knoxville. This year, Ribs and
Tied are in trouble.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They're losing. WHOA, They're gonna lost in some I've.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Been on already on this Alabama's going down in Knoxville
two out of three.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Zeban Ara is over, Caitlin de Boord's recruiting. Well.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
SEC media days are going on right now. Buck was like,
I don't even know right that place. Who's in the
Who's in the SEC title game?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Then?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Did you see say been picked Georgia and Texas. He
didn't even pick his own team. I think it will
be Georgia and Tennessee. Okay, keeping my fingers crossed. That
would be amazing. Look, we got coming up next here.
You were just talking about getting to meet him. Super
Superman himself just flew in. Dean Kane going to join
(28:19):
us here a SEC Jason, keep killing it.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Thank you. You also sued the NCAA and kicked their
ass there.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
By the way, for people who've been paying attention, awesome
to see you in person. We look forward to helping
you out there on the line.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Look, I gotta tell you the war in Israel, it's
continued started nine months ago October seventh, still going today,
missile alerts calls to take cover. For more than forty years,
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on
the ground in Israel within hours of the war. Starting
every day since, the IFCJ has been feeding the hungary,
protecting the vulnerable. Attacks continue in the north and south,
(28:54):
but they are resilient survivors who bravely share their stories
in a series the Fellowship calls Facing of Iron. One
of them manned by the name of Danny. On October seventh, Danny,
who volunteers with his local fire department, had to witness
the home of his daughter and son in law burning
down without being able to save them or their home.
He and others could not get to the equipment needed
(29:15):
to save them. Christians like you support Israel through the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's this support that
helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Do you hear more stories like this?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And to show your support for Israel, visit support IFCJ

Speaker 10 (29:34):
Twenty four Clay and Bucks weekly campaign Cliff Notes episodes
dropped Sundays at noon Eastern on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
All right, welcome back here to Clay and Buck live
at the RNZ on the floor of Media Row in
the auditorium.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And it's a bird, it's a plane. It's Stean Kane.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yes, here here is rior to that introduction you no
never get you're getting called Superman good heavens a lot worse.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah, trust sir jin Kane of a Superman on television
fame and also now an out conservative, which must be interesting.
As a former California we have a lot of things
to ask you about. I know you're promoting your movie God
is Not Dead, the fifth in the series of that
very successful franchise.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
But you are a I'm a former New Yorker now
at Floridian.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
You are a former Californian now at Nevada, Ada.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yes. How is that going for you? It's going very
very well.
Speaker 11 (30:32):
If you'd told me, first of all, I thought Vegas,
you know, living in Vegas would be insane. But I
live outside of Vegas and I don't go to the
strip like in Maleu. I didn't go to the you know,
Hollywood often, and that's both so I absolutely love it.
Not to mention that the personal income tax rate is
zero versus fourteen point three in California for the upper earners,
(30:53):
which I am blessed to be an upper earner, So
that's a great thing. Life is so much more simple
for me in Nevada. I love it to death. I
fear they're gonna come and grab me and make me
come back. You know, I feel like Gavin Newsom himself.
Weren't they thinking about doing something with the claw there? Yes,
they were, of course they were, because they're hemorrhaging people.
(31:14):
And you know, all the Californians that are listening out
there that love you guys are probably stuck. They probably
can't afford to get out. They make it so expensive
to do anything. And you know they have put a
match in tax on you if you if you sell
your I saw that.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I mean, that stuff is crazy.
Speaker 11 (31:27):
Fortunately, Malibu is not part of LA, so I got
out and that thing didn't affect me.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
But I would have been ticked off. So tell me this.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I got a lot of friends in LA because I
Fox Sports is based there.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I've spent a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I was talking with a buddy recently and he said,
Hollywood and LA in general used to be the place
for eccentrics where different thinkers. Your dad made the movie
Young Guns, which, by the way, I love where expend.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
My dad producing directs.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I watched that VHS so many times, every line from
that movie from him in the family dude, my brothers
and I I did not realize this. I think it's
actually one of the most underrated westerns because it's not
part of that great Clint Eastwood spaghetti western exactly.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Anyway, I'm sorry didn't do Young Guns two as well.
He did not like as Young Guns one, So I'll
go with Buck on this one. Yeah, this is you.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Used to have a wide variety of opinions and worldviews
welcomed and that led to great creative course. When did
you start to notice it changing and turning into a
one party state? As a guy who grew up out there,
you know, it was.
Speaker 11 (32:32):
A subtle It's the change always comes very subtly, and
I would I would hear that going on and on.
You know, when you when you first become you know,
a television star back in the day anyway, and probably
still the same now as you got you get a publicist,
and your publicist, like you have to have a charity
that you support and you have to have. And I
was like, look, I'm twenty five.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
You know.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
My charity was pay my rent. And I was like,
what do I have to support things? Can that happen organically?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Please? You know?
Speaker 11 (32:55):
But no, they were like, they break it down for you.
So I think it I just I guess maybe it
was me getting older. When I had a kid. I mean,
when I had a kid, everything the whole world changed
for me because suddenly I wasn't the most important thing
in the world. And I changed everything. But I changed
the movies, I did, the TV shows, I did. Everything changed,
and I became a father. There's the reason I stopped
doing a series is because I wanted to be a dad,
(33:18):
so I might my values were changing at the same
time that these things were sort of sneaking in there.
And I, you know, obviously COVID, we you know, it
was was a huge part of it, but it was
happening before COVID. It's been happening for a long time.
And I realized that, I you know, when it started,
the the the anti police sort of movement started going.
Everytime I'm a deputy, I'm a sworn deputy, sheriff with
(33:39):
with your last guest, I serve in Virginia.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I served for him. That's fantastic, one hundred percent.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
So I'm a fully sworn a deputy sheriff in in
Frederick County, Virginia. I'm I'm a reserve police officer in Pocatello.
I don't these are the values that I felt were right.
So when people did the opposite and it started going
to you know, anti police, writer can defund the police,
I said, you know what I spoke up against that.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
They're like, well, you speak up agains, what is that? S?
All right?
Speaker 11 (34:04):
Then I'll join and I have and I've been doing that.
So that's just sort of built in my character. But
I've watched it happen. I mean, it's it's accelerating now,
like crazy. Yeah, but but I think there's been a
backlash and the pendulum is swinging back.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
You know, go woke, go broke.
Speaker 11 (34:17):
Is look at the shows and things were put you know,
Hollywood's putting out it's just not you know, that Star
Wars thing isn't doing so well right now, and that
thing is just getting you eviscerated. I don't even want
to watch it.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
But this is this is what's happening all over the place.
I was wondering, how tell everybody a little bit about
the film, because we've only got you for about another minute. Okay,
sure I was. I was gonna ask you something else
about politics, but actually I was talking about.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
See the Gods said. That is the fifth and the franchise.
The first one, God's Not Dead, was ten years ago,
and I played a bad guy in that one, guy
who didn't have any redemptive qualities, but much like myself.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You know, you played anist. Yeah, yeah, well he wasn't
a communist. He was a capitalist.
Speaker 11 (34:56):
And then some oh really okay, and then some but
he is you know, his fiance tells him, you know,
I've got cancer, and he's like, if you can work
that out, then you can come back, you know.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
But that's not my problem to deal with. He's that
kind of a guy. And then they've done.
Speaker 11 (35:07):
Four other or three other professor of yes, right, he
doesn't survive it anyway, spoiler alert. Yet my character comes
back in this fifth one. It's called God's Not Dead
in God We Trust and and it's it's about a
pastor who ends up having to run for a congressional seat.
And then it's the question about you know, uh, the
separation of church and state, and where does God belong
(35:30):
in in in politics and in our lives. You know,
they're they're pushing God. I mean, God's not mentioned in
the Constitution at all, but he is mentioned in and
and the Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance on
your money and God we trust, and the founders were
they believed in God, and it was a big part
of it. And so the question is how much this
and I believe with what President's going to Trump, Trump's
(35:51):
going to say tomorrow night that you know, God had
a hand and turning his head.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
And to finish the question, you've done a lot of
Hollywood show how cinematic and unbelievable was Trump's reaction to
surviving the assassination attempt. From an actor perspective, we talked
about it felt like a Hollywood movie.
Speaker 11 (36:11):
If you wrote that, they'd be like, that's too unbelievable,
you know, And and so I can't even put it
into words. That's one of the most powerful things I've
ever seen. And it speaks to his character and I,
you know, look at I'm a police officer, I've been
with our military all over the place. People get shot
or shot at, they react very differently. It's like I
(36:32):
was a professional football player before. You know, you get players,
you know, great practice for game time starts and yeah,
something happens to him and other people just rise up.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
President Trump rose up. It was one of the most amazing.
Speaker 11 (36:43):
Things I've seen in that image of him with his
hand up, the flag upside down behind him and blood
trickling down his face, and that face that he made
the fight that was.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
It was a seminal moment.
