Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. Wednesday edition of The Clay and Buck Show
gets going right. Now feels a bit like the presidential
election has just finally started because we have a new
Democrat candidate. This is not official official, but the delegates
have switched. I thought, if it wasn't going to be Joe,
(00:22):
it would have to be Kamala. And now that is
where we are. No one's even talking about any other
options for the time being for the Democrats, so we're
assuming for now that Democrats actually have a candidate for
president that they will stick with. And it is it's
fascinating to see. It's it's almost like you're watching a
(00:43):
few Soviet armored brigades, just just this mass of communist
machinery that was all going in one direction. Now like
a flock of birds, they've all switched and now they're
all going in another direction. It wasn't long ago that
common Mala Harris was considered a drag on the Joe
Biden ticket, that Kamala Harris might have to be replaced
(01:06):
so that Joe could run because she was so unlikable, incompetent, uninspiring,
cringe inducing. And now it is the greatest magic trick
the Democrat media has ever pulled. Now they all turn
around and say, Kamala Harris is amazing. Kamala Harris, this
(01:27):
is the politician we've been waiting for. I mean, we
knew they would do it, so it's not a surprise
at all. I want everyone to be very clear. Clay
and I we all knew that this is exactly what
was going to happen. They'll do anything for power. But
it is a remarkable moment. It is astonishing because you
could go back and they'll probably start scrubbing them from Google.
(01:47):
But you could go back a year, year and a
half and they were talking about what a disappointment to
Biden Kamala was, how poorly she did in the whole
borders are role. Now they're saying she never was formerly
the borders are there was no borders are. They wipe
away the past with a wave of the hand. It's
amazing to see Clay, this is now yesterday. I want
(02:10):
to make sure we were checking assumptions. Kama's a horrible politician,
but that doesn't mean she can't win. That's really why
where I am on this. Kamala is an unimpressive person
in every respect, but that doesn't mean the Democrats won't
find some way. Please stop sending the emails about how
they're going to cheat. I know the Democrats are evil
and we'll do things that are illegal if they can
(02:31):
get away with it. Okay, I don't need reminders. We know,
we know. I don't know. I just want to have
like a can we just like have a little sound
we play in the background. It's like, we know they cheat,
we don't. I get it. Always try and.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Have to be careful with that because I get those two.
If that's all you focus on, then you're basically why
vote this is you are You are nighilistically destroying any
competition when you say, but they're going to check. Yeah,
that's why I think Trump has actually addressed it too
big to rig. That means that you have to take it,
(03:07):
in sports terms, out of the officials' hands. You have
to create a victory that is impossible. You have to
make Virginia competitive, New Hampshire, Maine, all these other states
so that it doesn't come down to just a few
votes in a few states.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I'll say this if it is a situation where
they let's just say, theoretically, we want every swing state
but then they did something and we couldn't We didn't
catch it red handed, we can't prove it in any
court of the of law across. Well, then we deserve
to lose because the GOP is so incompetent and we're
in a one party state. We might as well admit that, right, So,
(03:43):
you know, let's not just do that they're gonna change.
I know, we know we've gone over this a million times.
Let's look at what they're gonna do with Kamala as
the nominee and figure out how Trump can run up
the scoreboard so much that it makes it effectively impossible
for any shenanigans to be come involved. Okay, but I
just after yesterday, everyone's saying, well, Kamala is terrible, she
(04:05):
can't win, but they'll cheat. And I want to say, well,
if they cheat and they win, guess what, Kamala's president. Okay,
if they cheat and they win, she gets to call
the shots for four years. So just yelling they cheat
doesn't actually help us. Let's look at what the policies
of this administration are going, or the Kamala administration would be,
(04:25):
and let's convince our fellow Americans to come out in
such huge numbers that we beat the cheat or any cheat,
that we beat any Shenanigans, we beat anything that they do.
It is possible, my friends, Okay, it is possible to
do this. It is possible. I think Donald Trump is
going to win this election. So let's stay focused. Sorry, Clay,
it's got a little fire off about that, because I
(04:46):
think I've got a thousand, two thousand messages yesterday about this.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I think that's super important. And we've been saying on
this show for a long time. If your position is well,
they're going to cheat, then basically what you devolved to
is nothing matters. Okay, So look, we talked with the
head of the R and C who is putting in place.
He told you what to do. If you are worried
(05:10):
about cheating crew in New York, can you pull up
the website address that he gave everyone instead of emailing
us that they're gonna cheat. Here is my suggestion to
you if you are desperately afraid of that, volunteer your
time and be a monitor in your state. He asked,
he said, what did he say? I think he wanted
one hundred thousand thousand volunteers. Yes, yes, one hundred thousand.
(05:32):
Instead of whining to us about something that you are
concerned about, how about taking individual initiative yourself, going to
the website and we'll get it for you again. But
you can go listen to him on Thursday, because we
directly asked him about this and he said on these
airwaves we want one hundred thousand volunteers. So I appreciate emails,
(05:55):
but emails aren't volunteering, right. Actually, put your money where
your mouth is and your time with the effort in.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Because we have to do everything we can to get
as many votes for Trump, as many lawful and truthful
and honest votes for Trump as we possibly can to
defeat Kamala Harris. And there's action to prevent cheating or
to catch cheating. Great, whining about previous cheating, it just
doesn't help. We're all aware, I promise you, we're all
aware of all the things that have happened. Okay, and
(06:23):
we've talked about it tons, but that was four years ago.
We have an election to win now, and that's why
we're going to focus on Kamala Harris. That's also why
we had the RNC chairman on last week to talk
about he's aware too of the games Democrats playing. Look,
sometimes they were in a little bit of a gray area.
Sometimes they were abusing state law, but the state courts
(06:43):
wouldn't actually enforce what the laws on the books were
when it came to voting. Like, there's a whole slew
of things that went down. If we're going to try
to beat Kamala Harris with Donald Trump by you know,
ten thousand votes in Georgia and thirteen thousand votes in Arizona,
I forget what the vote totals were. But if we're
gonna leave it to that, yeah, then we're in big trouble.
If Donald Trump is gonna win every single swing state
(07:05):
and steal a few blue states from Democrats in the process,
guess what we win. Okay, it can happen. It will
happen if we stay focused. So I want everyone to
just be mobilized and motivated in this same vein. Now,
with all of that said, Kamala Harris is the most
far left wing senator we have faced in a presidential
(07:27):
race since Obama. And in some ways you could say
maybe ever, I think ever is probably the right designation
because Bernie Sanders never made it onto a presidential ticket.
He never actually was the nominee. So Kamala Harris is
the most far left wing senator. I think, Clay, we've
had our candidate. We've had and here's what I see.
(07:49):
That was fantastic. Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania, his team put
this out. Now, this is to tie Bob Casey, Senator Casey,
and it's so annoying and all these tough states. It's
the same game from Democrats all the time when it
comes time for votes. They're not really Democrats. There's something else,
you know. Of course, I'm a maverick. I go my
(08:11):
own way and then for four years or six years
or two years, you know, whatever they all they do
is go along with Pelosi. All they do is go
along with Schumer on everything all the time. It's pathetic,
it's dishonest. But this is the only Democrats can win elections.
That's what Bob Casey's trying to pull here. Oh you know,
I'm about Schumer's lack. Yeah, I think for myself. Yeah, sure,
(08:33):
McCormick's team nailed this in Pennsylvania. This is about Kamala Harris.
It starts with Senator Casey, but then it goes into Kamala.
Listen to this one play for Kamala. Harris is inspiring
and very capable. The more people get to know her,
they're going to be particularly impressed by her ability as nonpartisan.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Guv Track has rated you as the most liberal senator.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to
pass a Green the Deal. There's no question I'm in
favor of banning traffic.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Would optional drilling?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
What is the solution for voters in the fossil fuel industry?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Giving the workers an ability to transition. We're not going
to treat people who are undocumented cross the borders criminals,
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Raise your head if you think it should be a
civil events rather than a client across the border without documentation.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Abolish ice?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, is that a position you agree with?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And we need to probably think about starting from scratch, outdated.
It is wrong headed thinking to think that the only
way you're going to get communities to be safe is
to put more police offices on the street.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Like you support changing the dietary guidance because yes.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You know the food param what for people who have
yes to reduce red meat?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Specifically, yes, people who are convicted in prison, like the
Boston marathon bombas on death row, people who are convicted
of sexual assault, they.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Should be able to vote.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I hope we should have that conversation. We have to
have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback programming.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
So for people out there who like their insurance, they
don't get to keep it.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Let's eliminate all of that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Let's move on.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I am opposed to any policy that would nine any
sum in the public health period.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
The more people get to know her, they're going to
be particularly impressed by her ability.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
First of all, I love the cackle because it's unsettling.
I'm sorry, it's unsettling, and you could say that that's
not fair. That's just how she laughs, but it just
sort of it's not a clay. The policy she lays
down here, don't put more cops on the street. That
won't make people safer, give free healthcare to illegals. All
ten million that have come in under Biden, for example,
(10:28):
plus the millions were already here. Ban fracking. I don't
even think she knows more than half of our oil
comes from fracking procedures right now, processes, right now. This
is she's a lunatic. I mean, her policies are insane.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
She hasn't been vetted. And this is to me where
Republicans really have an opportunity to go after her. She
dodged scrutiny. I think it was a three part reason
why she dodged scrutiny. One, the twenty two election was
really about Trump. They hid Biden in his basement and
(11:04):
they tried to convince you that Trump was Hitler and
you were all going to die of COVID. That's what
they did. And the Biden was Grandpa Joe, and he
would solve everything, and he would make America normal again
and obviously bring decency to the country, put the adults
back in charge. That has failed. Then also COVID, that
was such an omnipresent story of COVID, and then fear
(11:26):
of BLM as a result. Remember Kamala Harris was uniformly
rejected by Democrat voters in the twenty twenty primary. If
they had had a primary in twenty twenty four, if
Joe Biden had done what he should have done and
announced sometime in the summer ish of twenty twenty three
that he wasn't going to run for reelection, there would
(11:49):
have been a robust Democrat primary, and buck I think
there's almost no chance that Kamala Harris would have been
the nominee. Democrats would not have picked her. Now they
are trying to gaslight you and make you convinced, oh, hey,
she's an amazing candidate. She is Nelson Mandela, She's Martin
(12:09):
Luther King Junior. She is Barack Obama with none of
the negatives. All of these attempts, I think are going
to fail if Republicans do a good job of actually
putting her under the microscope and making people aware of
what she's actually advocated for in the past and why
she failed to move Democrats.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
We're going to go into more of these policies, and
we're also going to look at how they're going to
try to shut down criticism of commonly already seeing this.
To even use DEI now to talk about de I
and Kamala is racist. This is the new thing is
DEI is not something you're allowed to bring up in
the context of a woman whose ethnicity has been along
(12:50):
with her gender, but you know, the two of them
together really her primary political asset for a long time. Okay,
it's oh, she's breaking glass ceilings. Oh look at this.
You know she she's the first in this role or
that role. And now they're saying you can't talk about it.
So we want to discuss that as well. Because they're
the corporate media, they're gonna try very hard to shut
people down for bringing up the fact that, look, if
(13:12):
you're gonna change standards and you're gonna elevate somebody based
upon superficial characteristics, we're allowed to say this person was
elevated for superficial characteristics, not their you know, their their skills,
their brain power, their acumen, their whatever, just they fit
into the DEI category. So what we're going to see
more of that, and we'll discuss how they're going to
(13:32):
try to shut down that criticism here in just a moment.
Also want to take your calls eight hundred two eighty
two to eight eight two. I just want to say
remember this, they made a dementia pation president for four
years now. We all even they Democrats know that.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I mean, think about what they pulled off this guy.
They can say he was much better four years ago,
he was nominally better four years ago. He's been the
same the whole time. We all know it. They can
make a dementia pati president. They can make anybody president.
Don't forget it. So we are not sleepy here. We're
not going to get caught napping, all right. We're aware
that this is a challenge, and I think it's one
that Trump and the Republicans and the conservatives in this
(14:08):
country can rise to know. Online security is a constant
threat for each of us, especially when it comes to
our online identity. Cybernews researchers discovered a file posted back
in July of twenty twenty four. Earlier this year on
a popular hacking website that contained ten billion unique passwords.
You'd be smart to bet one or more of your
passwords could have been included in that file. Having Lifelocks
(14:30):
online identity theft protection is the best way you can
protect yourself from these online bad actors who get a
hold of your passwords and account information illegally. It's important
to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
That's why having Lifelocks online identity theft protection makes all
the difference. And if you do become a victim of
identity theft, a dedicated US based LifeLock restoration specialist will

Clay Travison buck Sexton Mike drops that never sounded so good.
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Welcome back in.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. I want to give you
this website instead of emailing Buck or me and saying
they're going to cheat. I want you to go if
you are desperately concerned about this to Protect the Vote
dot com, and I want you to be one of
(15:43):
the one hundred thousand people that is volunteering to watch
the votes be cast and to be involved in election
security on behalf of the Republican Party. I don't like
people who sit around anonymously on social media and just
don't ever take action. They just potshot. So if you are,
(16:08):
and I understand why many of you are, that's why
I'm giving you the website right now. If you are
out there and you are desperately concerned about this, go
to Protect the vote dot com. My wife was concerned
about this. You know what she did. She got trained.
She's an election monitor. Now she works at our local place,
(16:28):
our local voting site, and is in charge. She's the
one who gave me my voting slip to go cast
my vote in the Tennessee primary. She was concerned about this,
She had the ability and the time to be able
to volunteer, and now she is a monitor at our
local election site. If you are desperately concerned about this,
(16:49):
protect the vote dot com. And if you're working all
the time, I understand that, find someone else with a
similar stance to you and get them to sign up.
So that your mom or your dad, your grandparents, somebody
out there that has more flexible time than you might.
Maybe you got young kids, you don't have a lot
of flexibility. Protect the vote dot com. To me, Buck,
(17:12):
I want one hundred thousand of you signed up. I
want way more than one hundred thousand of you signed up,
because I think that is super important to be able
to be on top of.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I totally agree I think that it's game time and
anything that can be done by Americans of good faith.
You want to see a fair election and want to
see that the only legal votes, every legal vote, and
only legal votes are counted. There are ways that you
can be helpful in this process. But I just also
want to go on the record. Trust me, Molly Hemingway
(17:44):
as a friend, I've read rigged if we covered the
election in twenty twenty, We're all very aware and we're
going to cover it as we get closer. But we
do have to talk about this election as though it's
something that we can still win, because we can't. Bottom line, also,
you got to focus on the future, not the past
when it comes to who wins elections. Your hard earned
(18:05):
savings loses value if you keep it in cash in
a savings account. Don't get me wrong, we all should
have money in savings, but holding some in cash and
some in gold is a smart move financially as well.
Inflation the federal government deficit only lower the value of
the dollar in spending power. How you protect the value
of the dollar in your savings account from inflation's up
(18:25):
to you investing some portion in gold. One smart way
to protect the value of your savings account. Gold's become
easy to access, easy to own, whether you want it
in your savings account for one Kira Birch Gold is
who we trust to make your first purchase or your
latest purchase of gold that much easier to get hooked up.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Looks like they're getting huffy over at the country club,
Morning Joe, the country Club. They are very upset with
these these unfounded attacks. Oh, how dare you, sir, talk
about Kamala Harris as a political candidate that you're allowed
to criticize? How dare you? And particularly they get this
(19:24):
has cut seven coming up here. They get very agitated
about Kamala Harris as the ultimate DEI higher Scarborough, very
upset play it.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
You've got Republicans being just total idiots attacking her as
being a DEI candidate. And I will tell you ninety
nine percent of Americans don't even know what those letters
stand for, but they know there's probably racist.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
And it's just not the way to go.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
But when I look at the vice president just looking
at it, somebody that is a generation younger than Donald Trump,
And I think it's going to energize a lot of
people that Democrats need to win this election.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
All Right, everything Country Club Joe there said was wrong.
First of all, the notion that ninety nine percent of
people don't know what DEI is. If you have gone
to college, you know what DEI is very well, because
you were like like a re education camp in Maoist, China.
You're just being beaten down with it all the time.
If you have a job in corporate America, glay, do
(20:34):
you get this too? Do you ever get You get
the text of the email for a friend who's like,
don't telling them you got this from me, and it's
like some DEI slide or something. I get this. I
get this from like extended family, and they're like, oh,
you see what they're doing at my company. Don't share
this with anyone though, I'm like, well, why are you
sending it to? Like why am I the you know,
the holder of the crazy DEI stuff? But you don't
(20:55):
want me to tell everybody or I don't want them
to trace it back to anyway. That happens all the time,
so none cent of people don't know. That would be
like saying ninety nine percent of people twenty years ago
don't know what affirmative action is. DEI is just the
the new branding of affirmative action to make it seem
more science y and corporate, you know, DEI and also
(21:16):
to change. They have to keep doing this, just like
they go that they're liberals and they're progressives and they're
you know, then well now they're communists. But they keep
changing what they like to be called, uh, because eventually
people figure out what they're really all about and they
have to do a rebranding. So the ninety nine percent
thing is is absolutely idiotic. And I do think that
the the main way to attack Kamala Harris. We'll talk
(21:39):
to our friend Tommy larn about this one later. I
think that the ad that we played before, though, Clay,
I know Trump's people, some of you listen right now,
and we love you, we appreciate you. I don't know
the big guys probably not listening is probably on the
golf course. Please get her to say that she wants
to ban fracking on that debate stage, and like don't
(21:59):
let her talk around. Please get her to say that
she wants to bet. Because if you think you're gonna
win Pennsylvania, if you think you're going to win white
working class votes in the Midwest who recognize what energy
costs are doing to their monthly budget and also to
their business, to their employer, banning fracking would take us
back fifty years in terms of our economic productivity. I mean,
(22:23):
it would be a nightmare. It would be insane.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
So I want to hit that DEI thing that Joe
Scarborough talked about. And this is how I would handle
this if I were the Trump team or if I'm
out there on the campaign trail. Kamala is a DEI higher.
We know this because Joe Biden specifically said, remember this
is very important, that he was going to hire a
(22:50):
woman to be his vice presidential candidate. He eliminated all
men and said I'm going to put a woman on
this ticket as my vice president. That means that he
wasn't picking the best person man or woman by the
purposes of his own criteria. Also, Biden around the same
(23:14):
time said that he was going to put a black
woman on the Supreme Court. That means that he eliminated
everyone else from consideration.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
This is important.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
You can't tell everybody that you're going to make a
higher based on race and gender, then make a higher
based on race and gender, and say you aren't allowed
to attack the higher that was, by its explicit terminology,
made based on race and gender. And buck I said
this at the time. It's insulting actually to say I'm
(23:50):
going to pick someone based on their race and gender.
You could have put a list out when you pick
Katanji Brown Jackson like Trump did, of twenty names, and
you could have said, I'm going to pick somebody off
this list, and then when you pick Katanji Brown Jackson,
some of us might think, oh, he did that because
she's a black woman. But he wouldn't have explicitly said it.
(24:11):
And he could have said the same thing about VPS.
He could have said, I looked at everybody white, black, Asian, Hispanic, male, female, gay, straight,
and Kamala Harris was the best pick for the country.
I wouldn't have agreed. But when you specifically tell us
that you're going to pick somebody of a specific race
and gender and then you do it, you actually, by
(24:32):
having done that, undercut their own accomplishment and make it
clear what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I also think we have to remember that we are
in a new legal era now in a sense, the
Supreme Court has said you're not allowed to make admissions
decisions for colleges based on skin color. Now that is
still happening, unfortunately, because the system is so ingrained and entrenched,
and they play games, they're lying about it, basically continuing discrimination.
(25:02):
And by the way, when there was this true systemic
racism in this country, even when laws would change, it
would take time because people would still violate the law
and they would still discriminate. We all know. Well now
they moved in the other direction where there's discrimination legally
against white and Asian college applicants, job seekers, et cetera.
And it's going to take time to move this, move
(25:23):
this back toward what we should have, which is a
colorblind society, a society where we're just everyone's an individual,
everyone gets an equal shot, everyone has the same protection
of the laws, and you know, to the degree the
law can do such a thing. And I just think
that the whole Democrat concept that Joe Biden pushed forward
more blatantly than anyone else. I'm only going to pick
(25:43):
a black woman for the Supreme Court. That's unethical. Actually, yes,
that's unethical, and I should note illegal. He shouldn't. He
shouldn't be doing that. Like if an employer were to
do that. Now, if an employer blatantly came out said
I am only hiring and you know the black women.
The other thing, imagine you came out saying I'm only
hiring white guys. You're begging to be sued. Yeah, yeah, right,
(26:05):
I know, right, But I'm saying you're begging to be sued,
You're begging to be attacked legally, and you would lose.
So this is this is just starting to you know,
come into the consciousness of the American people. Not only
is DEI promoting people that shouldn't be promoted in different
roles and giving people opportunities at the expense of other
(26:26):
Americans who have, based on the metrics that we can
look at, earned it more, it's unconstitutional. So though Kamala
as the ultimate DEI higher, it's kind of a test
of we do we reject DEI as a country now
because we should?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yes, And also the problem with DEI, which you're right
Scarborough saying ninety nine percent of people don't even know
what this is.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
No, you all do.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
If you have to take a seminar on color blindness
or whatever the heck, it's called anti racism training, which
a lot.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Of it's definitely not color blinds.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
It's obsession with people's skin, but it's anti racism training.
Whatever it's called. These days, I can't even keep up
with what it's called. You all know what this is,
and what you also see is that this is used
as both sword and shield. It's the reason why you
get something and also simultaneously an unattackable and unassailable position.
(27:25):
And what a lot of you see in your own
life is people with DEI get jobs they would never
otherwise have gotten. Sometimes continue to get promoted until at
some point their own inability to do the job explodes,
and there are consequences inside of your companies. This has
(27:46):
happened at every company America. This is why, as someone
who ran a company until I sold it three years ago,
I spent a lot of time talking about culture because
one of the great quotes I heard from an SEC
football coach years ago was you recruit your problems. You
hire your problems inside of companies. You bring them in
to trojan horse, and they start to destroy your culture
(28:08):
from the inside. Whatever you built as the founder, whatever
you built as the creator, whatever you built as someone
who came in in leadership role, they will destroy it
all from the inside with no benefit whatsoever. It's not
external forces buy in large same fear as what I
have for the country now is this is what's happening.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Last year, Clay, I went to Amherst College. As you
all know, last year, the acceptance rate was seven percent. Okay,
so seven out of one hundred people who applied to
the school got in. And you know at Harvard now
it's like two I think the two point three yors.
I mean, you know, you look at some of these schools.
Amherst had a program that we weren't really allowed to
(28:50):
talk about, like it was never really discussed. They would
bring in students in the summer before they would start
to work on basic math and basic reading comprehension because
they were so worried that these students could not keep up.
It would not be a shock to anybody to know
that everybody in this program was admitted under an affirmative
(29:10):
action regime. And so you know, they did this. The
college was doing a thing that was known and we
all understood the reasons, but we weren't allowed to talk
about it. Like if you ever brought it up and
you're like, wait a second, how is it that we
reject ninety three out of one hundred people who want
to go here, but of the people who go here,
about twenty thirty or maybe twenty percent of them need
(29:34):
remedial math and reading help before they arrive. Someone explained
that to me, not allowed to talk about it. People
reaching their full potential, you know, they start talking in circles.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
This is also where the data reflects that the people
who are being the most discriminated against are actually Asian
because Asian people when you look at test scores, for instance,
at Harvard, this was the big lawsuit that went all
the way to the Supreme Court. A being discriminated against
because they are too successful when it comes to grades
(30:05):
and test scores. I can speak as a result. It's crazy.
I saw because I was at camp. I was on
campus early most most years, so I was there when
this program was happening because I was an RA.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
We don't have to worry about that anyway. Uh, there
was not a single Asian kid in the remedial math
and reading program. Not well, go figure, not one. It
was so weird, not a single one. And you say,
wait a second, Yeah, I don't know. I don't what
to tell you.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
This is also funny, Buck. In the wake of George Floyd,
for some reason, they decided we don't need test scores
anymore at many of these elite institutions. As bad as
things were, what you're talking about, it must be a
disaster inside of these schools in terms of the admissions,
because you know what they're all doing. They're all the
elite schools going back to requiring test scores because that's
(30:53):
the best way. You can't just use GPA and schools
are not equal. That's the best way to determine how
somebody he's going to handle the obligations responsibilities.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
And I never played lacrosse like I played difference for
I never played lacrosse. If I had just showed up
and they just put me on the lacrosse team in
college and I couldn't, I don't even know. I don't
even know the terms, Like what do you whether you
move to stick back and forth fast, you know, and
you throw the little rubber balls.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Still perfect because My middle son is playing lacrosse right now,
and I actually had to pick my phone up and
Wikipedia lacrosse rules because I love sports. I have no
idea what I was seeing, but.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I'm just saying if I was if I was just
put on the lacrosse team, They're like, well, you see
him athletic enough, and then I couldn't do anything. And
everybody else was just far more advanced in lacrosse than me.
Nobody would think it was weird if they're like, hey,
what are you doing here? Like, you're not this is
not helping you. You're not actually going to be competitive.
You're not actually, But when it came to academics, all
of a sudden, the rules didn't apply. The rules didn't apply.
(31:50):
I you know, I'm just saying, we've all seen it,
we all know what I'm talking about. Here. We'll take
some of your calls and her to two two two
eight eight two. Is there such a thing as a
secret currency in our maybe better stated, is there a
different form of compensation that you should be seeking to
get from your employer other than cash? Porter Stansbury thinks.
So he's a CEO of a publicly traded company, one
(32:11):
that provides financial research to everyday Americans. He's also a
friend of mine and a business partner. Porter chose to
reduce his salary to just a token dollar and earn
the rest of his income in this new form. He's
sharing his new compensation in an online video for you
to hear his words firsthand. And he's doing that because
he wants you to consider following his approach. He's a
brilliant economist and businessman who built a phenomenal newsletter, financial
(32:37):
newsletter and research service starting in his college dorm room
back in the nineties. It's an incredible story, so he
really understands this. He sees a new form of money
in America. It's making some people very wealthy. You don't
need to be a CEO. Thousands of Americans in all
kinds of full time roles have started to become compensated
in this way. There's a detailed video to explain this
(32:58):
new secret currency on line. Go check it out. Porter's
latest presentation, Secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com. That's
Secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com 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 1 (33:20):
Welcome back yet, everybody, Clay and Buck going strong today.
We are going to continue to breakdown the best way
forward for Trump twenty twenty four. I also want to
make clear we're going to be diving into Senate races.
We're gonna use this the House that Rush built as
the best possible, unsingable aircraft carrier of free speech and freedom,
(33:47):
and make sure that we give plenty of time to
the candidates in tough races in places like what we've
already been doing Wisconsin, in Montana and Pennsylvania and Ohio
and Arizona. I mean, these are thinking about Senate there.
But there's some tough house races. We get some folks
in New York on. We've got a lot of people
that we're going to be hearing from in those Senate
(34:08):
house races. Because remember, for Trump to really accomplish the
full breadth of the agenda, I hate to say this,
but it's true, he really needs the House and the Senate.
There's some very good stuff he could do as the
executive I mean the economy. I'm just saying it right now.
Oh man, I want the Trump economy back. I mean,
I want to see what happens when energy companies know
they've got four years of just take it to the max,
(34:31):
you know, I mean, just just do it anyway. Also
want to tell you all, if you want to take
your day to the max, Crockett Coffee. It's absolutely the
best coffee you'll get anywhere. Ten percent of the profits
go to Tunnel the Towers. We started a company, Clay me,

And let's see. We have Steve in Florida. What's going on? Steve?
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Yes, I was calling. I'm in South Florida, not too
far from you, Buck, but I.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Feel too hot here. Can you call somebody and tell
them maybe it's too hot? But keep going.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Yes, it is brutal right now. But the whole Kamala
Harris hype I feel like for us is kind of
like or for them, I should say, it is like
there Sarah Palin moment for us from the two thousand
and eight So.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I can, I can I give a riff a little
bit on what you're saying, because I see it similarly
but a little bit different. Here's how I hate say it.
I mean, Sarah Palin, the media, they you know, chewed
her up and spat her out and she wasn't ready
for it. If Trump and the campaign Executeamala's going to lose,
and lose big. But they can't just leave it to
Kamala to implode. I don't think that's the way it's
(36:05):
going to go down. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
But yeah, look, I think the difference is the VP
pick oftentimes slides under the radar. We got a new
poll from CNN when we come back. It's the first
pole that CNN has done with Kamala officially in the race.
Will tell you what that data reflects. What it shows
is Kamala getting any kind of balance at all here?
(36:27):
And just a little bit of a reminder, we've got
Tommy Laren, who works withoutkick Fox News.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
She's coming on in the.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Third hour to have a more probably intelligent conversation from
the female perspective on how much of Kamala's past should
be focused on as a part of this campaign looking ahead.
I'm curious. I don't even know what her answer is
going to be on this issue. All that more, come
hang with us this poll. I think really interesting results
(36:57):
sleeve
Welcome everybody. Wednesday edition of The Clay and Buck Show
gets going right. Now feels a bit like the presidential
election has just finally started because we have a new
Democrat candidate. This is not official official, but the delegates
have switched. I thought, if it wasn't going to be Joe,
(00:22):
it would have to be Kamala. And now that is
where we are. No one's even talking about any other
options for the time being for the Democrats, so we're
assuming for now that Democrats actually have a candidate for
president that they will stick with. And it is it's
fascinating to see. It's it's almost like you're watching a
(00:43):
few Soviet armored brigades, just just this mass of communist
machinery that was all going in one direction. Now like
a flock of birds, they've all switched and now they're
all going in another direction. It wasn't long ago that
common Mala Harris was considered a drag on the Joe
Biden ticket, that Kamala Harris might have to be replaced
(01:06):
so that Joe could run because she was so unlikable, incompetent, uninspiring,
cringe inducing. And now it is the greatest magic trick
the Democrat media has ever pulled. Now they all turn
around and say, Kamala Harris is amazing. Kamala Harris, this
(01:27):
is the politician we've been waiting for. I mean, we
knew they would do it, so it's not a surprise
at all. I want everyone to be very clear. Clay
and I we all knew that this is exactly what
was going to happen. They'll do anything for power. But
it is a remarkable moment. It is astonishing because you
could go back and they'll probably start scrubbing them from Google.
(01:47):
But you could go back a year, year and a
half and they were talking about what a disappointment to
Biden Kamala was, how poorly she did in the whole
borders are role. Now they're saying she never was formerly
the borders are there was no borders are. They wipe
away the past with a wave of the hand. It's
amazing to see Clay, this is now yesterday. I want
(02:10):
to make sure we were checking assumptions. Kama's a horrible politician,
but that doesn't mean she can't win. That's really why
where I am on this. Kamala is an unimpressive person
in every respect, but that doesn't mean the Democrats won't
find some way. Please stop sending the emails about how
they're going to cheat. I know the Democrats are evil
and we'll do things that are illegal if they can
(02:31):
get away with it. Okay, I don't need reminders. We know,
we know. I don't know. I just want to have
like a can we just like have a little sound
we play in the background. It's like, we know they cheat,
we don't. I get it. Always try and.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Have to be careful with that because I get those two.
If that's all you focus on, then you're basically why
vote this is you are You are nighilistically destroying any
competition when you say, but they're going to check. Yeah,
that's why I think Trump has actually addressed it too
big to rig. That means that you have to take it,
(03:07):
in sports terms, out of the officials' hands. You have
to create a victory that is impossible. You have to
make Virginia competitive, New Hampshire, Maine, all these other states
so that it doesn't come down to just a few
votes in a few states.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I'll say this if it is a situation where
they let's just say, theoretically, we want every swing state
but then they did something and we couldn't We didn't
catch it red handed, we can't prove it in any
court of the of law across. Well, then we deserve
to lose because the GOP is so incompetent and we're
in a one party state. We might as well admit that, right, So,
(03:43):
you know, let's not just do that they're gonna change.
I know, we know we've gone over this a million times.
Let's look at what they're gonna do with Kamala as
the nominee and figure out how Trump can run up
the scoreboard so much that it makes it effectively impossible
for any shenanigans to be come involved. Okay, but I
just after yesterday, everyone's saying, well, Kamala is terrible, she
(04:05):
can't win, but they'll cheat. And I want to say, well,
if they cheat and they win, guess what, Kamala's president. Okay,
if they cheat and they win, she gets to call
the shots for four years. So just yelling they cheat
doesn't actually help us. Let's look at what the policies
of this administration are going, or the Kamala administration would be,
(04:25):
and let's convince our fellow Americans to come out in
such huge numbers that we beat the cheat or any cheat,
that we beat any Shenanigans, we beat anything that they do.
It is possible, my friends, Okay, it is possible to
do this. It is possible. I think Donald Trump is
going to win this election. So let's stay focused. Sorry, Clay,
it's got a little fire off about that, because I
(04:46):
think I've got a thousand, two thousand messages yesterday about this.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I think that's super important. And we've been saying on
this show for a long time. If your position is well,
they're going to cheat, then basically what you devolved to
is nothing matters. Okay, So look, we talked with the
head of the R and C who is putting in place.
He told you what to do. If you are worried
(05:10):
about cheating crew in New York, can you pull up
the website address that he gave everyone instead of emailing
us that they're gonna cheat. Here is my suggestion to
you if you are desperately afraid of that, volunteer your
time and be a monitor in your state. He asked,
he said, what did he say? I think he wanted
one hundred thousand thousand volunteers. Yes, yes, one hundred thousand.
(05:32):
Instead of whining to us about something that you are
concerned about, how about taking individual initiative yourself, going to
the website and we'll get it for you again. But
you can go listen to him on Thursday, because we
directly asked him about this and he said on these
airwaves we want one hundred thousand volunteers. So I appreciate emails,
(05:55):
but emails aren't volunteering, right. Actually, put your money where
your mouth is and your time with the effort in.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Because we have to do everything we can to get
as many votes for Trump, as many lawful and truthful
and honest votes for Trump as we possibly can to
defeat Kamala Harris. And there's action to prevent cheating or
to catch cheating. Great, whining about previous cheating, it just
doesn't help. We're all aware, I promise you, we're all
aware of all the things that have happened. Okay, and
(06:23):
we've talked about it tons, but that was four years ago.
We have an election to win now, and that's why
we're going to focus on Kamala Harris. That's also why
we had the RNC chairman on last week to talk
about he's aware too of the games Democrats playing. Look,
sometimes they were in a little bit of a gray area.
Sometimes they were abusing state law, but the state courts
(06:43):
wouldn't actually enforce what the laws on the books were
when it came to voting. Like, there's a whole slew
of things that went down. If we're going to try
to beat Kamala Harris with Donald Trump by you know,
ten thousand votes in Georgia and thirteen thousand votes in Arizona,
I forget what the vote totals were. But if we're
gonna leave it to that, yeah, then we're in big trouble.
If Donald Trump is gonna win every single swing state
(07:05):
and steal a few blue states from Democrats in the process,
guess what we win. Okay, it can happen. It will
happen if we stay focused. So I want everyone to
just be mobilized and motivated in this same vein. Now,
with all of that said, Kamala Harris is the most
far left wing senator we have faced in a presidential
(07:27):
race since Obama. And in some ways you could say
maybe ever, I think ever is probably the right designation
because Bernie Sanders never made it onto a presidential ticket.
He never actually was the nominee. So Kamala Harris is
the most far left wing senator. I think, Clay, we've
had our candidate. We've had and here's what I see.
(07:49):
That was fantastic. Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania, his team put
this out. Now, this is to tie Bob Casey, Senator Casey,
and it's so annoying and all these tough states. It's
the same game from Democrats all the time when it
comes time for votes. They're not really Democrats. There's something else,
you know. Of course, I'm a maverick. I go my
(08:11):
own way and then for four years or six years
or two years, you know, whatever they all they do
is go along with Pelosi. All they do is go
along with Schumer on everything all the time. It's pathetic,
it's dishonest. But this is the only Democrats can win elections.
That's what Bob Casey's trying to pull here. Oh you know,
I'm about Schumer's lack. Yeah, I think for myself. Yeah, sure,
(08:33):
McCormick's team nailed this in Pennsylvania. This is about Kamala Harris.
It starts with Senator Casey, but then it goes into Kamala.
Listen to this one play for Kamala. Harris is inspiring
and very capable. The more people get to know her,
they're going to be particularly impressed by her ability as nonpartisan.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Guv Track has rated you as the most liberal senator.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to
pass a Green the Deal. There's no question I'm in
favor of banning traffic.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Would optional drilling?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
What is the solution for voters in the fossil fuel industry?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Giving the workers an ability to transition. We're not going
to treat people who are undocumented cross the borders criminals,
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Raise your head if you think it should be a
civil events rather than a client across the border without documentation.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Abolish ice?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, is that a position you agree with?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And we need to probably think about starting from scratch, outdated.
It is wrong headed thinking to think that the only
way you're going to get communities to be safe is
to put more police offices on the street.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Like you support changing the dietary guidance because yes.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You know the food param what for people who have
yes to reduce red meat?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Specifically, yes, people who are convicted in prison, like the
Boston marathon bombas on death row, people who are convicted
of sexual assault, they.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Should be able to vote.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I hope we should have that conversation. We have to
have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback programming.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
So for people out there who like their insurance, they
don't get to keep it.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Let's eliminate all of that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Let's move on.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I am opposed to any policy that would nine any
sum in the public health period.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
The more people get to know her, they're going to
be particularly impressed by her ability.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
First of all, I love the cackle because it's unsettling.
I'm sorry, it's unsettling, and you could say that that's
not fair. That's just how she laughs, but it just
sort of it's not a clay. The policy she lays
down here, don't put more cops on the street. That
won't make people safer, give free healthcare to illegals. All
ten million that have come in under Biden, for example,
(10:28):
plus the millions were already here. Ban fracking. I don't
even think she knows more than half of our oil
comes from fracking procedures right now, processes, right now. This
is she's a lunatic. I mean, her policies are insane.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
She hasn't been vetted. And this is to me where
Republicans really have an opportunity to go after her. She
dodged scrutiny. I think it was a three part reason
why she dodged scrutiny. One, the twenty two election was
really about Trump. They hid Biden in his basement and
(11:04):
they tried to convince you that Trump was Hitler and
you were all going to die of COVID. That's what
they did. And the Biden was Grandpa Joe, and he
would solve everything, and he would make America normal again
and obviously bring decency to the country, put the adults
back in charge. That has failed. Then also COVID, that
was such an omnipresent story of COVID, and then fear
(11:26):
of BLM as a result. Remember Kamala Harris was uniformly
rejected by Democrat voters in the twenty twenty primary. If
they had had a primary in twenty twenty four, if
Joe Biden had done what he should have done and
announced sometime in the summer ish of twenty twenty three
that he wasn't going to run for reelection, there would
(11:49):
have been a robust Democrat primary, and buck I think
there's almost no chance that Kamala Harris would have been
the nominee. Democrats would not have picked her. Now they
are trying to gaslight you and make you convinced, oh, hey,
she's an amazing candidate. She is Nelson Mandela, She's Martin
(12:09):
Luther King Junior. She is Barack Obama with none of
the negatives. All of these attempts, I think are going
to fail if Republicans do a good job of actually
putting her under the microscope and making people aware of
what she's actually advocated for in the past and why
she failed to move Democrats.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
We're going to go into more of these policies, and
we're also going to look at how they're going to
try to shut down criticism of commonly already seeing this.
To even use DEI now to talk about de I
and Kamala is racist. This is the new thing is
DEI is not something you're allowed to bring up in
the context of a woman whose ethnicity has been along
(12:50):
with her gender, but you know, the two of them
together really her primary political asset for a long time. Okay,
it's oh, she's breaking glass ceilings. Oh look at this.
You know she she's the first in this role or
that role. And now they're saying you can't talk about it.
So we want to discuss that as well. Because they're
the corporate media, they're gonna try very hard to shut
people down for bringing up the fact that, look, if
(13:12):
you're gonna change standards and you're gonna elevate somebody based
upon superficial characteristics, we're allowed to say this person was
elevated for superficial characteristics, not their you know, their their skills,
their brain power, their acumen, their whatever, just they fit
into the DEI category. So what we're going to see
more of that, and we'll discuss how they're going to
(13:32):
try to shut down that criticism here in just a moment.
Also want to take your calls eight hundred two eighty
two to eight eight two. I just want to say
remember this, they made a dementia pation president for four
years now. We all even they Democrats know that.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I mean, think about what they pulled off this guy.
They can say he was much better four years ago,
he was nominally better four years ago. He's been the
same the whole time. We all know it. They can
make a dementia pati president. They can make anybody president.
Don't forget it. So we are not sleepy here. We're
not going to get caught napping, all right. We're aware
that this is a challenge, and I think it's one
that Trump and the Republicans and the conservatives in this
(14:08):
country can rise to know. Online security is a constant
threat for each of us, especially when it comes to
our online identity. Cybernews researchers discovered a file posted back
in July of twenty twenty four. Earlier this year on
a popular hacking website that contained ten billion unique passwords.
You'd be smart to bet one or more of your
passwords could have been included in that file. Having Lifelocks
(14:30):
online identity theft protection is the best way you can
protect yourself from these online bad actors who get a
hold of your passwords and account information illegally. It's important
to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
That's why having Lifelocks online identity theft protection makes all
the difference. And if you do become a victim of

don't ever take action. They just potshot. So if you are,
(16:08):
and I understand why many of you are, that's why
I'm giving you the website right now. If you are
out there and you are desperately concerned about this, go
to Protect the vote dot com. My wife was concerned
about this. You know what she did. She got trained.
She's an election monitor. Now she works at our local place,
(16:28):
our local voting site, and is in charge. She's the
one who gave me my voting slip to go cast
my vote in the Tennessee primary. She was concerned about this,
She had the ability and the time to be able
to volunteer, and now she is a monitor at our
local election site. If you are desperately concerned about this,
(16:49):
protect the vote dot com. And if you're working all
the time, I understand that, find someone else with a
similar stance to you and get them to sign up.
So that your mom or your dad, your grandparents, somebody
out there that has more flexible time than you might.
Maybe you got young kids, you don't have a lot
of flexibility. Protect the vote dot com. To me, Buck,
(17:12):
I want one hundred thousand of you signed up. I
want way more than one hundred thousand of you signed up,
because I think that is super important to be able
to be on top of.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I totally agree I think that it's game time and
anything that can be done by Americans of good faith.
You want to see a fair election and want to
see that the only legal votes, every legal vote, and
only legal votes are counted. There are ways that you
can be helpful in this process. But I just also
want to go on the record. Trust me, Molly Hemingway
(17:44):
as a friend, I've read rigged if we covered the
election in twenty twenty, We're all very aware and we're
going to cover it as we get closer. But we
do have to talk about this election as though it's
something that we can still win, because we can't. Bottom line, also,
you got to focus on the future, not the past
when it comes to who wins elections. Your hard earned
(18:05):
savings loses value if you keep it in cash in
a savings account. Don't get me wrong, we all should
have money in savings, but holding some in cash and
some in gold is a smart move financially as well.
Inflation the federal government deficit only lower the value of
the dollar in spending power. How you protect the value
of the dollar in your savings account from inflation's up
(18:25):
to you investing some portion in gold. One smart way
to protect the value of your savings account. Gold's become
easy to access, easy to own, whether you want it
in your savings account for one Kira Birch Gold is
who we trust to make your first purchase or your
latest purchase of gold that much easier to get hooked up.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Go to Birch Gold and call text ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight to claim your free no obligation infoKit
text my name Clay Clay to nine to eight, No
nine eight.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Looks like they're getting huffy over at the country club,
Morning Joe, the country Club. They are very upset with
these these unfounded attacks. Oh, how dare you, sir, talk
about Kamala Harris as a political candidate that you're allowed
to criticize? How dare you? And particularly they get this
(19:24):
has cut seven coming up here. They get very agitated
about Kamala Harris as the ultimate DEI higher Scarborough, very
upset play it.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
You've got Republicans being just total idiots attacking her as
being a DEI candidate. And I will tell you ninety
nine percent of Americans don't even know what those letters
stand for, but they know there's probably racist.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
And it's just not the way to go.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
But when I look at the vice president just looking
at it, somebody that is a generation younger than Donald Trump,
And I think it's going to energize a lot of
people that Democrats need to win this election.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
All Right, everything Country Club Joe there said was wrong.
First of all, the notion that ninety nine percent of
people don't know what DEI is. If you have gone
to college, you know what DEI is very well, because
you were like like a re education camp in Maoist, China.
You're just being beaten down with it all the time.
If you have a job in corporate America, glay, do
(20:34):
you get this too? Do you ever get You get
the text of the email for a friend who's like,
don't telling them you got this from me, and it's
like some DEI slide or something. I get this. I
get this from like extended family, and they're like, oh,
you see what they're doing at my company. Don't share
this with anyone though, I'm like, well, why are you
sending it to? Like why am I the you know,
the holder of the crazy DEI stuff? But you don't
(20:55):
want me to tell everybody or I don't want them
to trace it back to anyway. That happens all the time,
so none cent of people don't know. That would be
like saying ninety nine percent of people twenty years ago
don't know what affirmative action is. DEI is just the
the new branding of affirmative action to make it seem
more science y and corporate, you know, DEI and also
(21:16):
to change. They have to keep doing this, just like
they go that they're liberals and they're progressives and they're
you know, then well now they're communists. But they keep
changing what they like to be called, uh, because eventually
people figure out what they're really all about and they
have to do a rebranding. So the ninety nine percent
thing is is absolutely idiotic. And I do think that
the the main way to attack Kamala Harris. We'll talk
(21:39):
to our friend Tommy larn about this one later. I
think that the ad that we played before, though, Clay,
I know Trump's people, some of you listen right now,
and we love you, we appreciate you. I don't know
the big guys probably not listening is probably on the
golf course. Please get her to say that she wants
to ban fracking on that debate stage, and like don't
(21:59):
let her talk around. Please get her to say that
she wants to bet. Because if you think you're gonna
win Pennsylvania, if you think you're going to win white
working class votes in the Midwest who recognize what energy
costs are doing to their monthly budget and also to
their business, to their employer, banning fracking would take us
back fifty years in terms of our economic productivity. I mean,
(22:23):
it would be a nightmare. It would be insane.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
So I want to hit that DEI thing that Joe
Scarborough talked about. And this is how I would handle
this if I were the Trump team or if I'm
out there on the campaign trail. Kamala is a DEI higher.
We know this because Joe Biden specifically said, remember this
is very important, that he was going to hire a
(22:50):
woman to be his vice presidential candidate. He eliminated all
men and said I'm going to put a woman on
this ticket as my vice president. That means that he
wasn't picking the best person man or woman by the
purposes of his own criteria. Also, Biden around the same
(23:14):
time said that he was going to put a black
woman on the Supreme Court. That means that he eliminated
everyone else from consideration.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
This is important.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
You can't tell everybody that you're going to make a
higher based on race and gender, then make a higher
based on race and gender, and say you aren't allowed
to attack the higher that was, by its explicit terminology,
made based on race and gender. And buck I said
this at the time. It's insulting actually to say I'm
(23:50):
going to pick someone based on their race and gender.
You could have put a list out when you pick
Katanji Brown Jackson like Trump did, of twenty names, and
you could have said, I'm going to pick somebody off
this list, and then when you pick Katanji Brown Jackson,
some of us might think, oh, he did that because
she's a black woman. But he wouldn't have explicitly said it.
(24:11):
And he could have said the same thing about VPS.
He could have said, I looked at everybody white, black, Asian, Hispanic, male, female, gay, straight,
and Kamala Harris was the best pick for the country.
I wouldn't have agreed. But when you specifically tell us
that you're going to pick somebody of a specific race
and gender and then you do it, you actually, by
(24:32):
having done that, undercut their own accomplishment and make it
clear what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I also think we have to remember that we are
in a new legal era now in a sense, the
Supreme Court has said you're not allowed to make admissions
decisions for colleges based on skin color. Now that is
still happening, unfortunately, because the system is so ingrained and entrenched,
and they play games, they're lying about it, basically continuing discrimination.
(25:02):
And by the way, when there was this true systemic
racism in this country, even when laws would change, it
would take time because people would still violate the law
and they would still discriminate. We all know. Well now
they moved in the other direction where there's discrimination legally
against white and Asian college applicants, job seekers, et cetera.
And it's going to take time to move this, move
(25:23):
this back toward what we should have, which is a
colorblind society, a society where we're just everyone's an individual,
everyone gets an equal shot, everyone has the same protection
of the laws, and you know, to the degree the
law can do such a thing. And I just think
that the whole Democrat concept that Joe Biden pushed forward
more blatantly than anyone else. I'm only going to pick
(25:43):
a black woman for the Supreme Court. That's unethical. Actually, yes,
that's unethical, and I should note illegal. He shouldn't. He
shouldn't be doing that. Like if an employer were to
do that. Now, if an employer blatantly came out said
I am only hiring and you know the black women.
The other thing, imagine you came out saying I'm only
hiring white guys. You're begging to be sued. Yeah, yeah, right,
(26:05):
I know, right, But I'm saying you're begging to be sued,
You're begging to be attacked legally, and you would lose.
So this is this is just starting to you know,
come into the consciousness of the American people. Not only
is DEI promoting people that shouldn't be promoted in different
roles and giving people opportunities at the expense of other
(26:26):
Americans who have, based on the metrics that we can
look at, earned it more, it's unconstitutional. So though Kamala
as the ultimate DEI higher, it's kind of a test
of we do we reject DEI as a country now
because we should?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yes, And also the problem with DEI, which you're right
Scarborough saying ninety nine percent of people don't even know
what this is.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
No, you all do.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
If you have to take a seminar on color blindness
or whatever the heck, it's called anti racism training, which
a lot.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Of it's definitely not color blinds.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
It's obsession with people's skin, but it's anti racism training.
Whatever it's called. These days, I can't even keep up
with what it's called. You all know what this is,
and what you also see is that this is used
as both sword and shield. It's the reason why you
get something and also simultaneously an unattackable and unassailable position.
(27:25):
And what a lot of you see in your own
life is people with DEI get jobs they would never
otherwise have gotten. Sometimes continue to get promoted until at
some point their own inability to do the job explodes,
and there are consequences inside of your companies. This has
(27:46):
happened at every company America. This is why, as someone
who ran a company until I sold it three years ago,
I spent a lot of time talking about culture because
one of the great quotes I heard from an SEC
football coach years ago was you recruit your problems. You
hire your problems inside of companies. You bring them in
to trojan horse, and they start to destroy your culture
(28:08):
from the inside. Whatever you built as the founder, whatever
you built as the creator, whatever you built as someone
who came in in leadership role, they will destroy it
all from the inside with no benefit whatsoever. It's not
external forces buy in large same fear as what I
have for the country now is this is what's happening.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Last year, Clay, I went to Amherst College. As you
all know, last year, the acceptance rate was seven percent. Okay,
so seven out of one hundred people who applied to
the school got in. And you know at Harvard now
it's like two I think the two point three yors.
I mean, you know, you look at some of these schools.
Amherst had a program that we weren't really allowed to
(28:50):
talk about, like it was never really discussed. They would
bring in students in the summer before they would start
to work on basic math and basic reading comprehension because
they were so worried that these students could not keep up.
It would not be a shock to anybody to know
that everybody in this program was admitted under an affirmative
(29:10):
action regime. And so you know, they did this. The
college was doing a thing that was known and we
all understood the reasons, but we weren't allowed to talk
about it. Like if you ever brought it up and
you're like, wait a second, how is it that we
reject ninety three out of one hundred people who want
to go here, but of the people who go here,
about twenty thirty or maybe twenty percent of them need
(29:34):
remedial math and reading help before they arrive. Someone explained
that to me, not allowed to talk about it. People
reaching their full potential, you know, they start talking in circles.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
This is also where the data reflects that the people
who are being the most discriminated against are actually Asian
because Asian people when you look at test scores, for instance,
at Harvard, this was the big lawsuit that went all
the way to the Supreme Court. A being discriminated against
because they are too successful when it comes to grades
(30:05):
and test scores. I can speak as a result. It's crazy.
I saw because I was at camp. I was on
campus early most most years, so I was there when
this program was happening because I was an RA.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
We don't have to worry about that anyway. Uh, there
was not a single Asian kid in the remedial math
and reading program. Not well, go figure, not one. It
was so weird, not a single one. And you say,
wait a second, Yeah, I don't know. I don't what
to tell you.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
This is also funny, Buck. In the wake of George Floyd,
for some reason, they decided we don't need test scores
anymore at many of these elite institutions. As bad as
things were, what you're talking about, it must be a
disaster inside of these schools in terms of the admissions,
because you know what they're all doing. They're all the
elite schools going back to requiring test scores because that's
(30:53):
the best way. You can't just use GPA and schools
are not equal. That's the best way to determine how
somebody he's going to handle the obligations responsibilities.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
And I never played lacrosse like I played difference for
I never played lacrosse. If I had just showed up
and they just put me on the lacrosse team in
college and I couldn't, I don't even know. I don't
even know the terms, Like what do you whether you
move to stick back and forth fast, you know, and
you throw the little rubber balls.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Still perfect because My middle son is playing lacrosse right now,
and I actually had to pick my phone up and
Wikipedia lacrosse rules because I love sports. I have no
idea what I was seeing, but.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I'm just saying if I was if I was just
put on the lacrosse team, They're like, well, you see
him athletic enough, and then I couldn't do anything. And
everybody else was just far more advanced in lacrosse than me.
Nobody would think it was weird if they're like, hey,
what are you doing here? Like, you're not this is
not helping you. You're not actually going to be competitive.
You're not actually, But when it came to academics, all
of a sudden, the rules didn't apply. The rules didn't apply.
(31:50):
I you know, I'm just saying, we've all seen it,
we all know what I'm talking about. Here. We'll take
some of your calls and her to two two two
eight eight two. Is there such a thing as a
secret currency in our maybe better stated, is there a
different form of compensation that you should be seeking to
get from your employer other than cash? Porter Stansbury thinks.
So he's a CEO of a publicly traded company, one
(32:11):
that provides financial research to everyday Americans. He's also a
friend of mine and a business partner. Porter chose to
reduce his salary to just a token dollar and earn
the rest of his income in this new form. He's
sharing his new compensation in an online video for you
to hear his words firsthand. And he's doing that because
he wants you to consider following his approach. He's a
brilliant economist and businessman who built a phenomenal newsletter, financial
(32:37):
newsletter and research service starting in his college dorm room
back in the nineties. It's an incredible story, so he
really understands this. He sees a new form of money
in America. It's making some people very wealthy. You don't
need to be a CEO. Thousands of Americans in all
kinds of full time roles have started to become compensated
in this way. There's a detailed video to explain this
(32:58):
new secret currency on line. Go check it out. Porter's
latest presentation, Secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com. That's
Secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com twenty four.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
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 1 (33:20):
Welcome back yet, everybody, Clay and Buck going strong today.
We are going to continue to breakdown the best way
forward for Trump twenty twenty four. I also want to
make clear we're going to be diving into Senate races.
We're gonna use this the House that Rush built as
the best possible, unsingable aircraft carrier of free speech and freedom,
(33:47):
and make sure that we give plenty of time to
the candidates in tough races in places like what we've
already been doing Wisconsin, in Montana and Pennsylvania and Ohio
and Arizona. I mean, these are thinking about Senate there.
But there's some tough house races. We get some folks
in New York on. We've got a lot of people
that we're going to be hearing from in those Senate
(34:08):
house races. Because remember, for Trump to really accomplish the
full breadth of the agenda, I hate to say this,
but it's true, he really needs the House and the Senate.
There's some very good stuff he could do as the
executive I mean the economy. I'm just saying it right now.
Oh man, I want the Trump economy back. I mean,
I want to see what happens when energy companies know
they've got four years of just take it to the max,
(34:31):
you know, I mean, just just do it anyway. Also
want to tell you all, if you want to take
your day to the max, Crockett Coffee. It's absolutely the
best coffee you'll get anywhere. Ten percent of the profits
go to Tunnel the Towers. We started a company, Clay me,
my brother Mason. We started a company to embody the
American spirit, the pioneer attitude, and to support the values
that you and I all share, to teach real American history.
(34:54):
We have many projects in the works, including that for Crockett.
And you just get this coffee delivered right to your door.
K C Whole being ground bean. We got different roasts.
Now we got decaf. So go check out Crocketcffee dot com.
Please subscribe. Subscribing is the best thing you can do.
And let's see. We have Steve in Florida. What's going on? Steve?
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Yes, I was calling. I'm in South Florida, not too
far from you, Buck, but I.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Feel too hot here. Can you call somebody and tell
them maybe it's too hot? But keep going.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Yes, it is brutal right now. But the whole Kamala
Harris hype I feel like for us is kind of
like or for them, I should say, it is like
there Sarah Palin moment for us from the two thousand
and eight So.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I can, I can I give a riff a little
bit on what you're saying, because I see it similarly
but a little bit different. Here's how I hate say it.
I mean, Sarah Palin, the media, they you know, chewed
her up and spat her out and she wasn't ready
for it. If Trump and the campaign Executeamala's going to lose,
and lose big. But they can't just leave it to
Kamala to implode. I don't think that's the way it's
(36:05):
going to go down. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
But yeah, look, I think the difference is the VP
pick oftentimes slides under the radar. We got a new
poll from CNN when we come back. It's the first
pole that CNN has done with Kamala officially in the race.
Will tell you what that data reflects. What it shows
is Kamala getting any kind of balance at all here?
(36:27):
And just a little bit of a reminder, we've got
Tommy Laren, who works withoutkick Fox News.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
She's coming on in the.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Third hour to have a more probably intelligent conversation from
the female perspective on how much of Kamala's past should
be focused on as a part of this campaign looking ahead.
I'm curious. I don't even know what her answer is
going to be on this issue. All that more, come
hang with us this poll. I think really interesting results
