As Dems Sink in Polls, Pelosi Claims Inflation Is a Distraction

24 Oct 2022

In the audio above, self-described “election nerd” Clay breaks down what the latest polls and betting markets are saying about the key Senate races.

The races in PA, GA, NV, AZ, WI are all trending toward the Republicans. And even in OR and WA, the Democrats are running scared. too. The upshot is Republicans are well on their way to taking back the Senate.

Nancy Pelosi however, is still living in a fantasyland where inflation is a mere distraction from the real issues like “saving our democracy.”

Not to be outdone in the race to be the most out of touch, Biden, while sitting down for interviews with men pretending to be women, is prattling on about spending more money on climate change.

Democrats would have been more honest had they run Bernie Sanders in 2020, because we’re getting all of his policies from Biden anyway.

America must repudiate the Democrats on Election Day. GO VOTE.

Joe Biden Comes Out in Favor of Genital Mutilation for Children

24 Oct 2022

It’s pretty scary when we’re so used to the Commander-in-Chief’s cognitive decline that answers like this don’t even make a ripple.

But the old man lit up in an interview with a transgender TikTok influencer.

The president of the United States now fully supports genital mutilation for America’s children.

You can’t get a tattoo until you’re 18, but Joe Biden and the Democrats have no problem with letting teenagers ruin their lives with puberty blockers and sex-change surgery.

Just another reason why there must be a Red Tsunami in two weeks.

Ted Cruz Crushes The View Hosts, Triggers Their Insane Audience

24 Oct 2022

Credit to the ladies of The View for bringing Senator Ted Cruz on their program, but the 5-on-1 ambush they probably anticipated didn’t work out as planned. He filleted them. Maybe they forgot — or didn’t know — he was an Ivy League champion debater.

It got so bad, The View had to call security to subdue the nutjobs in their audience.

Clay apologized for watching it live, but, hey, it was entertaining TV. He even applauded the ladies for having the courage to invite Cruz in the first place.

When even Whoopi Goldberg is embarrassed by her audience’s behavior, you know Cruz hit a home run.

This comes on the heels of the Bronx Salute Senator Cruz received on Sunday night at Yankee Stadium.

Senator Cruz will be our guest later this week. We guarantee a better reception.

Blue State Dems Attempt Last-Minute Flip-Flop on Crime

24 Oct 2022

Do Democrats know early voting has already begun? Because all of a sudden, at this late date, Democrats in blue states are trying to flip-flop on the crime wave they caused.

Hochul and Adams in New York just discovered that the subways are unsafe?

Lee Zeldin, like the rest of us, knows what’s going on. That’s why he’s on the brink of an upset victory.

Out in Portland, the extreme left-wing mayor, Ted Wheeler, announced he wants to ban homeless encampments. This, as a new poll shows 81% of voters think the George Floyd protests were disastrous for the city.

Portlandia was a TV comedy, but they couldn’t even match the actual insanity that has been going on out there for years.

You want a comparison between red states and blue states? Ron DeSantis rebuilt the Sanibel Island bridge in record time.

Meanwhile, in Gavin Newsom’s California, they spent $1.7 million on a SINGLE toilet!


As Clay has said many times, it’s as if the Democrats are a team trying to tank. Kinda like the movie Major League.

The problem for Democrats is that there is no #1 draft pick waiting after they lose. There’s no benefit whatsoever for them. They’re just plain insane.

Julie Kelly on Jan. 6 Prosecutions, Trump’s Subpoena, Gen-X Heroes

21 Oct 2022

CLAY: We are joined now by Julie Kelly, senior writer at American Greatness. She has a great new piece up, “Gen X to Democrats: Eat My Shorts!” She also has a book out, January 6th: How Democrats Used the Capitol Protests to Launch A War on Terror Against the Political Right. Julie, Buck and I were talking about this earlier. Your Patriot Freedom Project has done an incredible job being able to provide lawyers to a lot of political prisoners related to January 6 that Buck and I were discussing this. I’m curious what you think. If Republicans take back the House and the Senate as increasingly appears likely, do you think there will then be more of a willingness to talk about the unfair treatment of many of these January 6th political prisoners, because maybe then January 6th as a political issue is effectively gone, at least for a year or more? Are you optimistic, pessimistic? Will nothing change at all?

KELLY: That’s a good question, and I’d love to take credit for all the good work that the Patriot Freedom Project is doing. But really, that was Cynthia Hughes, who is the adoptive aunt of one of the defendants who has been in the D.C. Gulag since February of 2021. But at any rate, you know, I don’t think Republicans are going to have a choice. This is such a hot issue with the base — as both of you know, because you’re more plugged in than I am. They see these egregious double standards of justice every day.

I mean, look at what happened today. Steve Bannon sentenced to four months in prison, the same week that (laughing) Igor Danchenko is acquitted in special counsel John Durham’s investigation into Russiagate. I mean, this just has to end at some point, and it’s not just calling out the double standard of justice. It is holding accountable the officials in DOJ and FBI who are responsible for this. So, I don’t think Republicans will have a choice. I’m not sure they have the stomach for it, but they need to find it.

BUCK: So what would that mean? Let’s say they did, Julie, have the stomach for it if they were willing to take real actions here. I mean, are we just talking about hearings to try to get to the bottom of things or are we talking about eventually a lot of firings from within the DOJ and the FBI by the next Republican administration? Because people ask me all the time, they say, “How do you clean this up?” because I talk a lot about — and we talk on the show a lot about — the weaponization of particularly the prosecutorial and judicial wings of government, and I don’t have a very I don’t have a very satisfying answer for them.

KELLY: Well, I think that there is discussion as to what this would look like in January, starting in January 2023. I believe that there are discussions about forming some sort of Church Committee to look into FBI abuses, which is fine. Right? We need to explain to the American people who are following this day to day like we are exactly what this agency — this reckless, abusive, vengeful agency — along with the Department of Justice, is doing to Trump supporters. But aside from that, Republicans will have the power of the purse, and what they need to do is start cutting off funding to these entities who are responsible.

The top office culpable for all of this is the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves, who was a Biden campaign adviser. His wife is head of a radical left-wing nonprofit in Washington, D.C., who accuses white women who voted for Trump of being racists. So that’s really the poison pill in this entire operation. Merrick Garland doesn’t know what’s going on! Merrick Garland is like Joe Biden. They’re just sort of, you know, the figure — that elderly figurehead.

They’ve got all their minions under them running the show. The FBI, I don’t think, is salvageable. That will be a big debate. This is not just a headquarters problem. This is a corrupt agency from top to bottom where this partisanship infects all 56 field offices. As we’ve seen from the Whitmer probe down to the San Francisco field office, you’ve got a cyber expert with the FBI who’s working hand in hand with Big Tech who told them in 2020 how to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop information. So this is such a huge, you know, multi… It’s a hydra kind of a problem and to believe that we can just cut a few corners and write a few letters and have a few hearings and this will all go away is just folly.

CLAY: We’re talking to Julie Kelly. She’s got a great piece up about Gen X, and Buck and I have talked some about this decision and the numbers that came out in The New York Times poll, which had Generation X overwhelmingly supporting Republicans. Meanwhile, just about every other age group was supporting Democrats. You wrote about this. Why do you think Gen X has broken so substantially in the direction of supporting Republicans? Buck and I make jokes about this. I am the youngest possible Gen X member pretty much. I was born in April of 1979. So, if I’d been born eight months later, I believe I would be a Millennial. Buck is a whippersnapper. He’s a Millennial. So his people are destroying America. Mine are saving it.

KELLY: Oh, oh, oh no.

CLAY: Why is that, Julie?

KELLY: Well, the Gen X elder, born in 1968, Clay, I will allow you in.

CLAY: Thank you.

KELLY: There’s no hope for Buck.

CLAY: We’re saving the country, Julie. Buck and his whippersnapper friends are trying to destroy it.

KELLY: (laughing)

CLAY: Why are we such heroes?

KELLY: Well, look, I mean, we grew up’ we were raised on Reagan, right? I mean, this paper that I cite the study from is actually 2014 that calls us the most conservative generation. Your politically formative years are between the ages of 14 and 24. So we saw what Jimmy Carter did, how we wrecked the country. We saw the malaise of Carter and how Reagan not just strengthened the economy. That was one thing. But he really was optimistic, and he helped instill in us a love of our country.

We also had a strong anti-authority, anti-establishment streak in us, which a lot of generations have except the Millennials. But anyway, so that’s part of it, and our culture was like that, right? You were brash. It was crass. Our comedy was very crude. Our colors were bold and we like to have fun. We enjoyed our freedom. We had a lot of fun. You know, I’ve got two daughters, one in college and one in law school, and we listen to eighties music or I talk to them about it; they’re like, “I wish I would have grown up then.

CLAY: Yeah.

KELLY: That’s a country that’s been stolen from them, and so who do we hold accountable? Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, because they’re trying to rip the soul, the fun, the heart, the freedom out of this country. And we’re just. We’re not gonna take it.

CLAY: (laughs)

KELLY: Maybe Buck doesn’t understand that reference.

BUCK: Ohhhhhhhhhh!

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: Excuse me. Excuse me, madam!

KELLY: (laughing)

BUCK: (singing) “We’re not gonna take it!” Yes, anyway.

KELLY: Right.

CLAY: Julie, I think it’s even more like Buck and I have talked about this too. You have got kids. I mean, I’ve raised my kids showing them all the 1980s movies and even the early nineties movies. And I think there’s a huge population out. That can remember the 1980s and the 1990 and says, “Man, it seemed like everybody really kind of got along well.” You didn’t necessarily have to agree with everything. But the eighties and nineties were kind of amazing in that everybody seemed to get along, and I think there’s a lot of nostalgia for both of those decades out in America, even among young people.

KELLY: Yeah, I think that’s definitely true. I mean, if you look at young people, the Gen Zs, you know, they listen to eighties music. They’re watching eighties movies, especially during lockdowns with their Gen X parents. I mean, this is how we really introduce them to the country that they don’t recognize, and so I do think that that is true. I mean, look, I started junior high in 1980. I graduated from college in 1990. I consider myself one of the luckiest people that I came of age during that time — and the Democrats and Biden and plenty of Republicans and the news media do not age want that country back.

They don’t want fun. They don’t want freedom. They don’t want liberty. And that’s why you see, it’s not just a little margin between Democrats and Republicans and Biden and Trump. I mean, these are huge, double-digit margins that favor Republicans, that overwhelmingly favor Trump over Biden. So those aren’t… The New York Times wasn’t an outlier, as I explained. There are dozens of polls that show this for Gen X. So, you know, we’re going to have to start our fight in November, and we’re going to keep going and put leaders of our generation into office and keep pushing.

BUCK: Julie, I don’t want to I don’t want to rain on the Gen X nostalgia parade here — and, you know, you guys could all start talking about the great music and everything else that —

KELLY: (crosstalk)

BUCK: Sure. All true. But I did want to ask you, since we have you here and we got millions of people listening across the country, you’ve thought that they’re going to prosecute President Trump. Today, the big news came probably — well, big news. But, you know, the breaking news from the last hour, I should say, expected news was that they’re subpoenaing Trump officially. They’ve given a timeline. Now, is this all part of that effort or is this just a diversion before the election? You think they’re bringing charges against Trump. How does it roll out?

KELLY: I think the subpoena, just like the raid, is sort of the optics of it. I don’t know where they think they’re going to go with this subpoena and why did they wait until their last meeting to vote on the subpoena? I still think that the criminal charges will come out of the D.C. U.S. attorney’s office. Matthew Graves. I think they will be related to January 6th. So, they’ll be obstruction, conspiracy, tampering with witnesses, evidence, something along those lines. The only — (crosstalk)

CLAY: Do you expect that to happen…? Sorry to cut you off, but I’m curious when. You’ve called your shot on this for a while. When do you think the most likely time for those charges to come would be?

KELLY: I honestly thought it would be before the election. I’m not saying that it won’t be because this DOJ will not adhere to any traditional customs such as nothing happening 60 days before an election, which they are blowing every single day. So, if it’s not before the election, I’m sure it will be by the end of the year, but I still have no doubt that that is eventually… We know that they had at least one grand jury calling in witnesses related to Donald Trump’s January 6 activities. So, you know, as I’ve said before, it’s not really a matter of when, but — excuse me, not if, but when. So I wouldn’t put it past them to do the week before the election, quite honestly. I mean, they have no constraints, so why not?

CLAY: Julie, you have been fantastic. I appreciate you and me and all of our Gen X friends who are saving the country from Buck’s infidel Millennial friends.

KELLY: (laughing) Buck, we love you.

CLAY: We’ll talk to you again soon.

KELLY: We feel sorry for you, that’s all.

BUCK: That’s all right. You know, what do we bring to the party? Just Beverly Hills 90210, Friends. You know.

CLAY: That’s our generation, dude!

BUCK: We’re two years apart! How could I…?

CLAY: I know. I know. You’re the whippersnapper here. You’re the Millennial.

BUCK: We get Saved by the Bell.

CLAY: I’m saving the country. You’re destroying it. That’s just what’s going on.

Tim Michels Is On His Way to Being the Next Wisconsin Governor

21 Oct 2022

BUCK: Welcome back in to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. We’ve been telling you about some critically important races, including in some places that you may not expect it to be possible for a Republican to be in such good shape. But up right now in the polls, Tim Michels, the governor of Wis… candidate rather – pardon me – candidate for the governor of Wisconsin. He is with us and he’s running quite a campaign. Tim, thanks for calling in.

MICHELS: Hey. Thanks for having me on the show. It’s quite an honor. And yeah, it’s, uh, it’s crazy that this race has not gotten more national attention. Two things. Number one, it’s the most expensive governor’s race in the entire country. And two, boy, if you’d like to tune into a football game and I know politics is much more serious than football, tuning into a football game with less than 2 minutes to go and the score is tied. This is your race.

We’ve been statistically tied. It’s crazy how close all the polls have been, like from a week ago until three or four weeks ago. It was like 47.3 to 47.3. But finally, now, in the last week, we’re starting to see a little bit of separation up a point, up a point and a half. One poll has us up three points. So, we’re headed in the right direction. It’s a crazy, expensive race. We’re going to take out an incumbent Democratic governor and it’s going to be a big win for the people of Wisconsin.

CLAY: We appreciate you coming on and certainly alongside of Ron Johnson. We are continuing to fight as hard as we can to make sure people in Wisconsin make a choice to return some sanity to their state. What are the number one or two issues that you are hearing in particular from voters that you are seeing that the incumbent governor there has failed on, that they want to switch and allow you to be in charge?

MICHELS: Great question. In all over this state from, you know, Superior Wisconsin, which is up by Lake Superior, of course, down to Kenosha, over to La Crosse, by the Mississippi River. Everywhere I go, the number-one issue by far is inflation. People are so concerned. We all know it. Across America, the price of groceries is up. Price at the pump is up. People are very concerned.

It’s not a lot that a governor can do, right? We all get paid in U.S. dollars and we all spend U.S. dollars. And, you know, the federal policy got us into this mess of inflating the currency, thus resulting in inflation. But I’m going to do massive tax reform here in the state of Wisconsin. We’re going to put more money in people’s pockets. Right on the heels. Right on the heels of the economic issue is crime.

And people are very concerned about crime all across Wisconsin, from the inner city of Milwaukee out into the suburbs and up, you know, through northern Wisconsin. We’re at a 30-year high of crime in Wisconsin. And I believe the reason we got here is because of a byproduct of the defund the police movement. We got to this crazy spot in America where less police is better or cops are bad. I don’t buy that for a second.

We’re going to flip the switch. We’re going to back the back the men and women in law enforcement. We’re going to get rid of the catch and release D.A.s here in Wisconsin. And we are going to change the attitude, if you will, of the bad guys, because right now the bad guys are emboldened. They think that they’re going to get away with it. They’re not going to serve their terms.

What do I mean by that? Governor Rivers here in Wisconsin, he made a campaign pledge four years ago that he was going to cut in half the prison population in Wisconsin. And he’s well on his way to doing it. He’s released over 1000 convicted felons on early parole. Some of them, you know, I think about 300 of them are convicted murderers and some of those are cop killers.

Most shockingly, 44 of them are child rapists, released early on the streets of Wisconsin today. That’s the attitude of our current governor. That is not what the people of Wisconsin want. I’m going to back the blue, get rid of the soft D.A.’s and we are going to get rule of law back in the state of Wisconsin once again. And the bad guys are going to know they’re not going to get away with it anymore. They’re going to know that the governor himself, me, wore a uniform, albeit a military uniform, for 12 years on active duty in the U.S. Army as an Army Ranger.

And we’re going to flip the switch on crime here in Wisconsin. And real quick, the third issue that I’m hearing everywhere is education. People know that education today is not working. And I went to public school in Wisconsin about an hour north of Milwaukee, a little farm community. I went to Lomira, K through 12, and it worked for me, but that was over 40 years ago. And today, the numbers in education continue to get worse.

The state’s test here in Wisconsin is called the Forward test. The numbers continue to go down. The national test, the NAPE test, the education scores continue to go down. And our current governor, he spent his entire life, his entire career in education. I have a lot of respect for school teachers, but he probably should have stayed a teacher and not got into administration. He was the head of all education in Wisconsin and now he’s the head of, you know, as governor, he’s the head of the entire state and the numbers continue to get worse.

So, I’m going to do massive tax reform, put more money in people’s pockets. We are going to back the blue. Get rid of soft D.A.s. We’re going to hit crime down in neighborhoods and communities. And we are going to have better schools here in Wisconsin. We’re going to empower parents. We’re going to do universal school choice and put parents back in charge of their children’s education and stop the CRT and get back to the ABCs.

BUCK: We’re speaking to Tim Michels. He’s a candidate for governor of Wisconsin and to our folks listening in Wisconsin on affiliates like Madison’s WIBA am and WISN in Milwaukee, this is an opportunity. You know, we’ve been talking to Ron Johnson. He’s running for Senate. They’re looking pretty good so far. But we could also get a sane individual, a Republican here. We’re speaking of Tim Michels in the governor’s mansion of Wisconsin.

And I’m just wondering, you said it was this is really interesting. I mean, you led with this statistic about the most expensive governor’s race in the country. I’m assuming a lot of the money that’s coming in for your opponent, is it a special delivery courtesy of New York, California and Washington, D.C.? Where’s the money coming from?

MICHELS: Yeah, you got it. It’s all the East Coast, West Coast money that’s coming into Wisconsin. They’re you know, they’re all rallying behind the incumbent Democratic governor because they know that this seat is threatened and that it’s going down. So, the usual suspects, if you will. You know, Steven Spielberg is sending $1,000,000 a week. And, you know, the cast of West Wing is doing a show and they’ve fundraised $1,000,000 in one hour. And, you know, they’re trying very hard here. It’s a crazy, crazy, expensive race.

When my wife and I made our decision to run very early in the year back in February, we were told that there’d be about $35 million spent against the Republican candidate. It’s now up to about $85 million. So, they’re pulling out all the stops, doing everything they can to hold this seat. But the good news is and we’re in…unfortunately, we’re being outspent on the air 2-to-1 right now. But the good news is it’s not having the effect that they want.

We are up a little bit in the polls. We have the momentum now. We’re going to close strong. But it takes everybody in Wisconsin. It takes everybody rallying together when we’re all rowing together, when we’re all working together to do the right thing, to elect a conservative governor who’s not a politician, who’s a businessman, who’s an outsider, who’s made tough decisions in his life, who knows how to make plans, execute plans, solve problems, who’s met a payroll, as we have at our company since for the past 62 years? And who can read a balance sheet and read an income statement that that’s the kind of leadership that we need in government right now.

The problem we have in government at the national level and at state levels is we have all these career politicians in there that have never done anything. Well, we need to get back to the way our founding fathers intended it to be. People from all walks of life take their real-life experience, go to the capital, serve a couple of terms, and then leave and let somebody else come in.

Not have these career politicians that are in there for way too long, that are in way over their head. Like our governor here in Wisconsin. He’s never even run a lemonade stand. And people are frustrated. I challenge people everywhere I go. Are you better off than you were four years ago? And nobody can say they are. With inflation up with crime. Price at the pump is up. Test scores are down in schools. 401Ks are down. People are really frustrated. They’re ready for change. They see in me a candidate who’s going to bring that change.

I’ve been a bold leader my whole life. 12 years on active duty in the U.S. Army as an Airborne Ranger, 25 years helping grow our company – from when my dad passed away 25 years ago – from a few hundred employees to over 8000 today. That’s what people want bold leadership, a problem solver to get things done. And I’m not beholden to anyone. I’ve made a pledge and I’ve stuck to it. Never not taking any money from PACs or special interest or lobbyists. There’s one person on the face of the planet that I’ll be beholden to, and that’s my wife, Barbara, my bride of 27 years.

BUCK: Tim, if people want to help out in this final stretch here, where should they go?

MICHELS: MichelsForGovernor.com. That’s our website. And we have detailed plans on where I stand on all the issues at MichelsBlueprint.com. But MichelsForGovernor.com. Thanks.

BUCK: Thanks so much for being with us. Appreciate you, sir.

MICHELS: Thank you. Have a great day. Bye.

How Michigan Muslims Might Defeat the Wicked Witch of the Midwest

21 Oct 2022

In the audio link above, Clay & Buck discuss how the left is going after Muslim parents objecting to students being force-fed smutty books that are totally inappropriate for their ages. How ironic would it be if Muslim voters carry Tudor Dixon to victory over woke Gretchen Whitmer?

Look out, Wicked Witch of the Midwest! You’ve met your match.

Parents — black, white, Asian, Hispanic — want their kids to grow up innocent and with morals. They don’t want schools to take on the job of churches, mosques, synagogues and doctors.

Whoever you are, though, if you go against the sex-obsessed left, you’re — naturally — the infamous socialist dictator of the 20th Century.

This is literally pornography they’re pushing on these kids in school libraries. Credit to these parents for fighting back.

Data Shows the Covid Vaccine Can Kill Young Men

21 Oct 2022

Yesterday’s conspiracy theory that would get you cancelled by Big Tech is today’s settled science. Take the risk from covid vaccines, which Big Pharma and Democrats told us was 100% safe, yet they also had to give the companies complete immunity from all liability for side effects!

Can we just follow the science and be allowed to once again ask questions about the health implication of this rushed vaccine, that Biden, Fauci, and everyone else has been wrong about again and again?
