Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, welcome to the
Speaker 1: Buck Brief.
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt is with us now national Press Secretary for
Speaker 2: the Trump twenty twenty four campaign.
Speaker 1: It is the moment of truth coming up here with
Speaker 1: election day.
Speaker 2: She's super busy, She's given us some of her time
Speaker 2: to dive into this. Caroline, I'll just let you take
Speaker 2: it and set the stage for us. How are you
Speaker 2: feeling with like twelve thirteen days to go?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, thirteen days away from the big day,
Speaker 3: and we are incredibly confident. We feel really good here
Speaker 3: at Team Trump headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our
Speaker 3: internal data shows the same as you see in the
Speaker 3: public polling, President Trump leading in every single battleground state,
Speaker 3: cutting into the Democrats base with black voters, Hispanic voters,
Speaker 3: young people, making huge inroads with these key demographics to
Speaker 3: the Democrat party success. So we feel incredibly confident we're
Speaker 3: going to win this thing. But we are not taking
Speaker 3: a single second for granted. President Trump himself is barnstorming
Speaker 3: the country and state after state, day after day, holding
Speaker 3: multiple events a day, running laps around Kamala Harris on
Speaker 3: the campaign trail, and we're not going to slow down.
Speaker 4: We're going to run through the tape.
Speaker 2: What do you make of the last ditch effort here?
Speaker 2: And it's also a repetition of what we've seen in
Speaker 2: previous election cycles when they're trying to get people to
Speaker 2: believe this.
Speaker 1: That Trump is a fascist thing. I mean, this is like.
Speaker 2: Front page New York Times, Atlantic is getting in on this,
Speaker 2: Joe Biden saying that Tom was now coming out and
Speaker 2: saying it is his desperation. I mean, what polling do
Speaker 2: they look at? Where they think if we say that
Speaker 2: Trump is hit, that we're going to win this thing.
Speaker 3: It's Groundhog Day, buck. And it's not based on polling.
Speaker 3: It's the Democrat Party's instincts. They have become the anti
Speaker 3: Trump party and they don't stand for anything. They just
Speaker 3: stand against Donald Trump. And when Kamala Harris began her campaign,
Speaker 3: when the coup was finished of Joe Biden and Kamala
Speaker 3: Hanon and Harris took the mantle, she began her race
Speaker 3: as the candidate of joy, the candidate of change, the future,
Speaker 3: that was her message. She was trying to unveil policy,
Speaker 3: but she got ridiculed for everything she.
Speaker 4: Said on it.
Speaker 3: So now she's resorting back to her instinct, which is
Speaker 3: spewing these baseless lies, this divisive political rhetoric about Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: and it hasn't worked. The Democrats have been saying this
Speaker 3: now for eight years, and President Trump is more popular
Speaker 3: today than he ever has been since twenty sixteen. People
Speaker 3: view his presidency as a major success now that they've
Speaker 3: had a few years under Kamala Harris's vice presidency and
Speaker 3: realizing what a failure she has been.
Speaker 4: So these tactics are the only thing they have.
Speaker 3: They're throwing it out the wall to see what will
Speaker 3: stick because they don't have real policy or real results
Speaker 3: to run on.
Speaker 2: Were you, I mean to take us a little bit
Speaker 2: in the inside of the campaign here, if you would
Speaker 2: have you with the team the Trump campaign team? Were
Speaker 2: you a little surprised initially when it was very clear
Speaker 2: that the plan was to just not have Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: do you interviews and stuff. Was there an expectation that
Speaker 2: that might be the playbook or you know, just I'm
Speaker 2: wondering how this has evolved as this has moved on
Speaker 2: because now obviously she's oh my gosh, I actually have
Speaker 2: to do media because I'm losing.
Speaker 3: Well, she's saying that now because I will credit President
Speaker 3: Trump in our campaign for putting pressure on her. There
Speaker 3: was a pressure campaign purposefully from our side to force
Speaker 3: kamalain too sitting down for interviews because we know what
Speaker 3: a disaster she is every time she opens her mouth,
Speaker 3: and that has proven to be true.
Speaker 4: Her Fox News interview with Brett bare was a train wreck.
Speaker 3: Last night, she was on NBC still refusing to answer
Speaker 3: the question of what she will do differently than Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: And in these interviews, she's made it very clear that
Speaker 3: her presidency would be a continuation.
Speaker 4: Of the past four years.
Speaker 3: She shows that she's incompetent and ill equipped to serve
Speaker 3: as the leader of the free world. So we encourage
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris doing all of the interviews that she possibly
Speaker 3: can in the next thirteen days, because every time she does,
Speaker 3: I think President Trump's pull numbers go up just a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you where we can expect there
Speaker 2: to be a particular focus and get your sense of
Speaker 2: how things are shaking out right now in some of
Speaker 2: the battleground states Caroline in just one second. But you
Speaker 2: know our sponsor here is in the world of finance.
Speaker 2: I loved learning about finance. I came across a Wall
Speaker 2: Street legend with a fascinating warning November eighth. He says,
Speaker 2: is going to open the biggest rapid fire money making
Speaker 2: opportunity of his fifty year career. In short, there's a
Speaker 2: disconnect in the stock market that has opened a way
Speaker 2: to spot potential buying spreeze on five thousand different stocks
Speaker 2: before they occur, and it could double your portfolio, according
Speaker 2: to this expert. Now, look, this is a guy who
Speaker 2: recommended an AI stock ten years ago that would have
Speaker 2: made you incredible returns if you had bought and held.
Speaker 2: He also invented an index used in the stock market
Speaker 2: day to day back in the eighties that directs billions
Speaker 2: of dollars of Wall Street finance good to stocks twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five dot com for details on what this stock
Speaker 2: guru has to tell you. He's agreed to share it
Speaker 2: with you for free, but you have to go register
Speaker 2: stocks twenty twenty five dot com. That website is stocks
Speaker 2: twenty five dot com. Is it really all about Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: I was gonna take it through a few battlegrounds, But
Speaker 2: is it your feeling that based on where Trump is
Speaker 2: in the different states, and this is obviously gonna have
Speaker 2: huge down ballot implications if Trump wins PA, are you
Speaker 2: pretty much cracking the champagne at Trump headquarters?
Speaker 3: Look, the road back to the White House runs right
Speaker 3: through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: It's why President Trump has been spending a lot of
Speaker 3: time there. He will continue to between now and November fifth.
Speaker 3: And we're seeing very encouraging signs come out of Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: with the early voting. In fact, we are out registering
Speaker 3: voters in Pennsylvania right now to one. We've made a
Speaker 3: real tangible effort on the ground there to reach low
Speaker 3: propensity voters. You know, Pennsylvanians who may not be political,
Speaker 3: haven't voted in past election cycles, but they have common
Speaker 3: sense and they like President Trump, and they like a
Speaker 3: secure border. They want law enforcement in their communities to
Speaker 3: be supported, not defunded like Kamala Harris wants to do.
Speaker 3: They're hurt by the inflation crisis. Kamala Harris has created,
Speaker 3: so our message to them is Kamala Harris created these problems.
Speaker 4: President Trump is going to fix them. And we have
Speaker 4: been on the ground in.
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania for months with gorilla marketing tactics, digital advertising, paid television,
Speaker 3: paid radio, calling people, door knocking. You really focusing on
Speaker 3: registering new voters and getting them out to vote. And
Speaker 3: we're seeing that strategy is paying off with the signs
Speaker 3: we've seen out of early voting.
Speaker 4: But again, we're not getting complacent.
Speaker 3: President Trump will be back in Pennsylvania before election Day,
Speaker 3: no doubt.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this particular poll. I
Speaker 2: know you're probably just grounding and polling day to these
Speaker 2: days at Trump campaign headquarters with Caroline Levitt, of course,
Speaker 2: he's the national press secretary for the Trump campaign. But
Speaker 2: it out of Michigan, and it was it was a
Speaker 2: legit polling company, and it wasn't one of these kind of,
Speaker 2: eh whatever polling companies. I can't remember who it was,
Speaker 2: but I remember thinking, oh, wow, it's a real poll
Speaker 2: that Trump may win Muslim American voters.
Speaker 1: In Michigan this cycle. What can you tell us about that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: There's actually been quite a few polls to suggest that
Speaker 3: President Trump is leading with Arab American voters in Michigan
Speaker 3: and also nationwide. And there has also been a real
Speaker 3: effort from our campaign and some of our allies to reach.
Speaker 4: Out to this community.
Speaker 3: No Republican really ever has to be honest with you,
Speaker 3: especially not in the last few decades. And President Trump
Speaker 3: is making a real effort to reach out to this
Speaker 3: community and to say, look, we may not agree on everything,
Speaker 3: but what we do agree on is we want peace
Speaker 3: around the world, and I will respect your religious freedom
Speaker 3: like I did in my first term.
Speaker 4: That's President Trump's message, and it's resonating.
Speaker 3: We're seeing it's working, and Arab Americans, just like Jewish Americans,
Speaker 3: are upset over the conflict we've seen in Israel and
Speaker 3: in Gaza, and President Trump, like he was in his
Speaker 3: first term, is offering to be a peacemaker in chief
Speaker 3: for both sides, to bring peace to the world for
Speaker 3: all people, regardless of faith. And that's a very appealing message.
Speaker 3: While all these voters may not vote for President Trump,
Speaker 3: they certainly we know will not be voting for Kamala Harris,
Speaker 3: who has been a disaster on the world stage for
Speaker 3: both Arab Americans, Jewish Americans, and all Americans, regardless of
Speaker 3: race or religion.
Speaker 2: Is there a state or two where and you know,
Speaker 2: maybe just speaking for your own analysis, right, I don't
Speaker 2: want you, I don't want to put you in a
Speaker 2: position where what the campaign thinks, but necessarily, but is
Speaker 2: there a state or two that you feel like isn't
Speaker 2: really on the radar of a lot of the media
Speaker 2: these days that are following the election, right which we're
Speaker 2: in the absolute think of it right now, less than
Speaker 2: two weeks away. Well, where you think that Trump and
Speaker 2: the Republicans down ballot will make it closer than expected
Speaker 2: and maybe even pull off a surprise win. You?
Speaker 1: If so, where would that be, Like? Do you see Virginia?
Speaker 2: Is there any place that you're thinking we might be
Speaker 2: able to pull off an upset.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm a little biased in this answer, but I
Speaker 3: would say in my home state of New Hampshire. So
Speaker 3: Joe Biden was campaigning there yesterday, Kamala Harris was there
Speaker 3: several weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris has actually allocated.
Speaker 3: Resources to buy media in the Boston television market, which
Speaker 3: is incredibly expensive. No campaign would do that unless they
Speaker 3: were worried about their chances. So I think President Trump
Speaker 3: has a real chance at winning the Granite State. I'm
Speaker 3: certainly making sure all of my friends and family up
Speaker 3: there get out to vote for him, And just to
Speaker 3: speaking with people on the ground anecdotally, I will tell
Speaker 3: you they're very turned off by Kamala Harris, very dissatisfied
Speaker 3: with her policies over the past four years. You know,
Speaker 3: New Hampshire is the live free or die state, big
Speaker 3: Second Amendment culturehere. You know, Kamala Harris wants to come
Speaker 3: into our homes and co escape our guns. We have
Speaker 3: a friendly business culture, low taxes, no income tax, no
Speaker 3: sales tax. Kamla Harris is the tax queen. So she
Speaker 3: certainly does not align with the values of my home state.
Speaker 3: And I would be very joyous to see it flip
Speaker 3: read and I think there's a real possibility of that.
Speaker 1: I can see that too.
Speaker 2: That's a great call, that would be really icing on
Speaker 2: the cake of a Trump victory to bring the Granite
Speaker 2: State into the mix. Our sponsor here is Birch Gold.
Speaker 2: You know, with the massive tax hikes proposed by the
Speaker 2: Vice president almost forty percent top income tax rate, seven
Speaker 2: percent increase to the corporate tax, forty percent, capital gains
Speaker 2: tax on unrealized or rather a capital gains tax on
Speaker 2: unrealized gains whatever.
Speaker 1: A lot of.
Speaker 2: Taxes, folks, it's all you need to know. Tax is
Speaker 2: coming around all over the place. He just mentioned. Kammala
Speaker 2: is the taxation queen. She wants to take more of
Speaker 2: your money, more of your businesses money, and she wants
Speaker 2: to spend a lot of money too. And that's a
Speaker 2: huge problem because we've got a huge debt that is
Speaker 2: piling up, and she's at she might add two trillion
Speaker 2: dollars to that deficit, that yearly shortfall that we've got.
Speaker 2: So you want to take action today to try to
Speaker 2: make things more safe of the long term for your savings.
Speaker 2: Diversifying to gold, the Birch Gold Group can help you.
Speaker 2: Birch Gold will assist you in converting an existing iray
Speaker 2: or four to one k into an ira in gold.
Speaker 2: The best news you don't have to pay a penny
Speaker 2: out of pocket. They can also sell you actual physical gold.
Speaker 2: You can hold and keep it home like I do.
Speaker 2: I've got gold, I've got silver. All you have to
Speaker 2: do is text the word buck my name to ninety
Speaker 2: eight ninety eight ninety eight get a free INFOKD on
Speaker 2: gold or a lot of people that transferring of an
Speaker 2: existing IRA or four one K maybe even one that
Speaker 2: you don't you haven't even allocated, you know, you don't
Speaker 2: know worry putting the funds gold over long term. Take
Speaker 2: a look at a chart of gold text buck to
Speaker 2: ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight for your free infokid today,
Speaker 2: Birch Gold group.
Speaker 1: That's who I go with.
Speaker 2: All right, Caroline, so you are I'm sure watching part
Speaker 2: of the meltdown that Democrats are having.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I know the election is not over yet. We got
Speaker 2: to focus, We got to know, push through the tape
Speaker 2: until the victory is assured. But they're freaking out because
Speaker 2: of the gender deficit. I don't know if we call
Speaker 2: it that gender gap, not the pay gap, but the
Speaker 2: gap between Democrats and Republicans on men and women and
Speaker 2: who they're voting for. Trump is absolutely dominating Kama on
Speaker 2: the Democrats on the issue of male voters and is
Speaker 2: making inroads with black male voters, Hispanic mail voters. Where
Speaker 2: is that coming from? Like, if you had to focus
Speaker 2: in on why is it that this particular election cycle
Speaker 2: looks so weak when it comes to men, For Democrats.
Speaker 3: Why is that, Well, I think men are fed up
Speaker 3: with the policies of the last four years. Frankly, all
Speaker 3: Americans are. Men want a strong military. We've seen our
Speaker 3: military weekend over the past four years. Men don't want
Speaker 3: to be drafted into a war and having to go overseas.
Speaker 3: That's becoming all the more likely in Kamala Harris's America.
Speaker 4: Men want strong word security.
Speaker 3: Men want more money in their pockets, frankly, and look
Speaker 3: at the inflation crisis that is robbing men and women
Speaker 3: in all American families of their paychecks every single week.
Speaker 3: I also think men are very turned off by some
Speaker 3: of the woke crap that we've seen the Democrat Party pushing,
Speaker 3: like men in women's sports and teaching children about race
Speaker 3: and sex and gender. I think there's also been you know,
Speaker 3: the radical feminists in the Democrat Party have kind of
Speaker 3: been pitiful towards men, white men in particular in this country,
Speaker 3: and I think that's been a real turn off for
Speaker 3: them seeing.
Speaker 4: That take place over the last several years.
Speaker 3: So I also think, you know, President Trump himself has
Speaker 3: been a businessman for many decades. Men in this country
Speaker 3: have looked up to him, have known him when he
Speaker 3: was a celebrity prior to entering.
Speaker 4: The political arena. You know, he's a sports.
Speaker 3: Guy, he's funny, he's a guys guy. And I think
Speaker 3: that really resonates with men across the country. And I'm
Speaker 3: glad you asked this question, Buck, because the media likes
Speaker 3: to talk about the alleged gender gap with President Trump
Speaker 3: and women, and the real story is the massive gap
Speaker 3: that Kamala Harris is facing with men across this great country.
Speaker 3: And we're very confident they're going to turn out and
Speaker 3: record numbers to vote for President Trump on November fifth.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw. This was a topic
Speaker 2: that came up when I was on Bill Mahers show recently,
Speaker 2: Carolyn and And it's funny because they look at me,
Speaker 2: They're like, I mean, why does Trump do so well
Speaker 2: with with with men?
Speaker 1: What about Trump is masculine? And I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Being a billionaire married to like an.
Speaker 2: International lingerie model who's been president and has like a big,
Speaker 2: beautiful family that loves him and plays a lot of
Speaker 2: golf and makes funny jokes like it was it was
Speaker 2: like talking to people who live in another universe, you know,
Speaker 2: really and then they go why do you know? People
Speaker 2: are asking me why do they think Tim Walls isn't masculine?
Speaker 1: I'm like, have you seen Tim Walls?
Speaker 3: I mean he kind of runs around on stage like
Speaker 3: a buffoon.
Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: I mean I'm waiting for Tim Wallas to just pull
Speaker 2: out jazz hands at any moment.
Speaker 1: You know, just sort of show everybody he's a weird guy.
Speaker 2: So the masculinity deficit is very real in the last
Speaker 2: in the last stages here, I mean, what's it like
Speaker 2: to be in the campaign day in and day out?
Speaker 2: Is does it feel more intense or is it just
Speaker 2: as the same as it has been all along? You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like, is it just you're showing
Speaker 2: up doing the work every day? Or with each passing
Speaker 2: day now, is it feeling more like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: this is happening. The votes are already coming in.
Speaker 4: Yeah. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 3: I've been at this since January now, and every day
Speaker 3: you're going at one hundred miles an hour. We have
Speaker 3: such a hard working boss in President Trump, who literally
Speaker 3: works twenty four to seven, hardly sleeps, and so the
Speaker 3: entire campaign is expected to keep up at that same pace,
Speaker 3: and we have a fantastic team, hundreds of people, many
Speaker 3: of whom you don't see on television, but they're working
Speaker 3: very hard behind the scenes to re elect President Trump,
Speaker 3: and there's great camaraderie here. Certainly it has intensified over
Speaker 3: the past I would say a few weeks, and now
Speaker 3: heading into the final sprint. We work literally seven days
Speaker 3: a week out of the office in Palm Beach. There
Speaker 3: are zero days off at this point and hasn't been
Speaker 3: for quite some times. But we're trying to keep up
Speaker 3: with President Trump, who has more energy than anyone I
Speaker 3: have ever met, in a harder work ethic than anyone
Speaker 3: in American politics. And truthfully, it's very inspiring to work
Speaker 3: for someone who works so hard and doesn't even question it.
Speaker 3: It's just who he is, even in the face of
Speaker 3: such adversity that he's faced throughout the entirety of this campaign,
Speaker 3: through political witch hunts, sitting in a courtroom for weeks
Speaker 3: on him because of Democrat prosecutors, two attempts on his
Speaker 3: life where he nearly lost his life, and the man
Speaker 3: still wakes up every day working eighteen twenty hour days
Speaker 3: to fight for this country and That's the type of
Speaker 3: leader I want in the president of the United States,
Speaker 3: not someone like Kamala Harris who takes days off as
Speaker 3: she did yesterday without a single campaign event.
Speaker 2: It is astonishing when you think you raise this, how
Speaker 2: little of the media has talked about, not just two
Speaker 2: assassination attempts in a general I mean a bullet that
Speaker 2: graised the president's goal. It was so close to, you know,
Speaker 2: the worst national tragedy in any kind of a political
Speaker 2: election or political sense that we would have suffered in
Speaker 2: a very long time. And yet the Trump campaign, despite
Speaker 2: the actual threats against him, very close to taking his life.
Speaker 2: There's the sense of his joy and optimism and fun.
Speaker 2: I know the Kamala campaign wanted it. Joy was a
Speaker 2: word that you're hearing a lot. Trump's out there passing
Speaker 2: fries to people and you know, having a good time.
Speaker 2: I know he doesn't actually work at McDonald's. That was
Speaker 2: the big fact check they were doing. It's like, well,
Speaker 2: I think we know that, but there's incredible I think
Speaker 2: you know, you and the team, I know you guys
Speaker 2: probably feel this, but maybe it's good to hear it
Speaker 2: from outsiders. The whole Trump campaign just feels so positive,
Speaker 2: and especially given what you guys have all been through
Speaker 2: with the President's been through, it feels almost like a miracle.
Speaker 4: I would say, so yeah. I mean, we'll see how
Speaker 4: it works out on November fifth.
Speaker 3: But certainly we have witnessed a lot of adversity, and
Speaker 3: I think President Trump's life was most definitely spared by
Speaker 3: a higher power on July thirteenth in Butler, Pennsylvania, where
Speaker 3: a bullet came within millimeters of taking his life and
Speaker 3: God willing, Thank you God for not allowing that to happen.
Speaker 4: And we're just so grateful he's here. And again it's
Speaker 4: inspiring to be.
Speaker 2: Part of Carolyn Levitt doing a great job as the
Speaker 2: national Press secretary for the Trump twenty twenty four campaign.
Speaker 2: Some of us thought she was going to be a
Speaker 2: big deal long time ago, back she's running for Congress
Speaker 2: and just saying it, some of us, Clay and I.
Speaker 1: Are both like, she's going to be a big gonna
Speaker 1: be a big deal, Probably gonna be a big deal.
Speaker 1: And here we are.
Speaker 2: Congrats to you all the hard work. And where you're
Speaker 2: gonna be at mar Alago election night, You're gonna be
Speaker 2: West Palm.
Speaker 1: Where are you going to be.
Speaker 3: Yet to be seen where we're going to be, but
Speaker 3: we will be somewhere, and it's going to be big
Speaker 3: and beautiful, bucked.
Speaker 2: Big, beautiful election night, the best, the best election night ever,
Speaker 2: the best people.
