Axios lists the nine things Harris has done a complete reversal on, giving President Trump a good chance in the debate if he’s well prepared. Now Kamala is for the border all of a sudden! On muted mics, Harris wants it both ways. From banning plastic straws to fracking, Kamala flips. Buck tries an analogy to “the sports,” with Clay’s help. Even Kamala-friendly press feels disrespected without interviews. Kamala isn’t a good communicator or very smart. Crockett Coffee. Polls make libs freak. Your calls. Nate Silver.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We
appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we
are rolling sixty days until the big election ballots. This
is crazy going out in North Carolina. By next week,
some of you will be able to vote. In this country.
(00:23):
We don't have election Day, we have election season, and
we're going to be with you throughout the course of
the next sixty days and beyond as Donald Trump attempts
to take out Kamala Harris and return to the White
House and next week Buck on Tuesday, the big story
of the week is going to be potentially the only
(00:44):
debate taking place between Trump and Kamala Harris in Philadelphia.
No audience, muted mics, all of the same rules effectively
that were in place for the last debate, which feels
like years ago now on June twenty seventh because of
all the things that have occurred since then. But Kamala
(01:06):
is walking into a buzzsaw if Trump is well prepared
to go after her to the extent that even places
that are typically very favorable of Kamala Harris. This morning
when I woke up, Axios has a Rosterbuck, I don't
know if you saw this. It has a roster of
(01:26):
nine different major issues where Kamala Harris hasn't just changed
her opinion, she is now espousing the exact opposite of
what she said prior when she ran for office. And
if Trump is ready to hit her with this, I
don't think Kamala can respond. Let me hit you with
these bucks. This is from Axios. The headline is nine
(01:48):
areas in which Kamala has shifted views or her current
position is unknown. Did you see the most recent Kamala
said that she no longer is in favor of banning
plastic extra.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I mean she is working hard for my vote there,
because banning plastic straws is for morons. But yes, she.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Now says she does not favor a mandate for electric vehicles.
She now says she's not in favor of banning fracking.
She now says she does not support a mandatory gun
buyback program. She now says she does not believe that
crossing the border should be decriminalized decriminalized. She now says
(02:28):
she does not believe that building a border wall is racist.
In fact, she wants to build a border wall. She
says there should be no federal jobs guarantee, and she
says she no longer believes in Medicare for all.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Her team has.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Been unwilling to answer buck whether she still believes that
reparation should be provided for slavery. These are crazy things
that are relatively major that she's either pretending she never
said or completely opposed to.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Now Kamala Harris thinks that Kamala Harris is a communist.
Apparently that's what you can take from this list. She's like,
who is that crazy person who was saying we should
have a ban on plastic straws, Medicare for all, federal
jobs guarantee, mandatory buy back program, that's just confiscation of
(03:21):
your rifles? What kind of communist lunatic was that? It
was Kamala Harris until five minutes ago. And she knows
she can't win with these positions, so suddenly, all of
a sudden, Kamala Harris isn't. This is the part that
is even crazier, if that's possible. I mean, we're going
(03:41):
so deep into the rabbit hole here of Democrat distortion
and delusion that but Clay, she hasn't repudiated any of
this really, because it's not Kamala Harris, who was going
forth to the American people and saying, look, here's what
I said, here's why I changed my mind. Here's the
evidence that came in. That's what.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
No, she is having anonymous campaign ads feed this narrative
to the media so that just like uh, tight end
on a football field, Clay, they can run and throw
the blocks. And that's what the media is doing. They're saying, well,
she doesn't right, that's that's the time. I mean, they
run and throw the blocks. Sounds like you're someone who
(04:25):
does it. Yeah, close enough. The point is the media
gets to deploy now and say, oh, she doesn't believe
that anymore. With that, you know what I mean, they
skip that very important step for somebody who wants the
most important job in the world of why do you
repudiate everything that you used to stand for and believe
of any consequence or substance. I think that's an important
(04:47):
thing to get answers on. One hundred percent. It is,
and this is something for all of you to have
in the back of your mind as Tuesday gets closer. Really,
Trump isn't debating against Kamala. Kamala should be having to
debate against herself because she's taken opposite perspectives on many
different issues. And again, Trump is, generally speaking, I think
(05:09):
a better counter puncher and reactor than he is a
puncher in these debate context But I hope they are
drilling him to just come back time after time to
the fact that you can't trust Kamala, that she is
a chameleon, that she has left wing policies and she's
trying to hide them from the American public. And let
(05:31):
me just hammer this in advance of that.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
She isn't able to defend these perspectives because I don't
think that she is a very skilled politician, And so
if he puts her on the spot or honestly, what
should happen is, if we had a honest moderator, they
would be putting Kamala on the spot and saying, why
have you changed your position on so many of these
(05:56):
issues and laying them out in an objective fashion. I
don't know that we'll get it, so I think Trump
might have to do it, but an honest moderator would
legitimately be grilling Kamala on these questions.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I also think that it's very clear there's a recognition
in the Kamala campaign that she can't address these issues right.
On the one hand, I know I'm hitting her for
not actually explaining any of this, and that's clearly the
strategies to have media surrogates explain away her entire record,
(06:26):
not even record what she used to believe. I mean,
this is even worse. This isn't like I signed onto
a bill. It was complicated. There were things that I wanted.
It's I want blank for America. And this was not
even four years ago. We have to assume that she
believed these things until five six weeks ago. I mean
that's when all of a sudden everything started changing. But
(06:47):
they recognize that it would be devastating to anybody with
a functional brain watching it. It would be devastating to
have Kamala, even if she does it one by one. Yeah,
you know, I don't really believe in reparations for Slaver anymore. Yeah.
I don't really believe in you know, I do believe
in building the wall.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
That's a huge thing I was fighting with with libs
Clay during I fin I've fought with the the Biden
Energy Secretary Grantall, she's an imbecile, and the bill Mahershaw
about the.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Wall on the border. They were like, Oh, the wall's inhumane,
it's awful. Now Kamala is for the wall all of
a sudden, because she knows if they All I'm saying
is if she addressed them, the super cut would end her,
would end her campaign, the super cut of I don't
believe in anything I used to believe in as a politician.
They can't. They can't make up that distance for her.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The reparations thing, to me, is really fertile ground for
Trump because the data reflects that it's like a seventy
five to twenty five issue. And I know, economy, border crime,
all of those things are big. She won't even answer
what she thinks about on reparations because I believe she's
aware that she's not doing great as well as she
(08:00):
needs to with black voters, and black voters a lot
of them support reparations, and that's why she said she
supported it when she was running for president in twenty twenty.
And what is incredibly intriguing about this is she should
get directly asked about This is an easy one for Trump. No,
I don't support reparations. That's an easy answer. Seventy five
(08:21):
percent of Americans are going to agree with her. When
Kamala walks back her support for reparations, I think she's
actually going to be hurt not only with the seventy
five percent who doesn't trust her, but with the twenty
five percent that does support reparations. I think it's a
double win for Trump on that issue in particular. And
what I would ask all of you to pay attention
(08:43):
to is this is the benefit of.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Trump doing media everywhere.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Whatever you think about Trump, his positions are pretty clear,
and he's addressed and discussed all of them. Now. It
doesn't mean he's not going to get ripped for some
of his opinions, but I think most people are aware
of what he's done. The fact that they have hidden
Kamala has actually kept many of these issues from being raised.
Remember only the fracking issue was really aggressively questioned by
(09:11):
Dana Bash in her CNN interview. The wall, by itself
is an incredibly huge issue that it's impossible for Kamala
Harris to address. And I just hope Trump lets Kamala
talk like he let Biden talk, because I think the
more Kamala talks, the less people are going to like her.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Did you see I love this and the discussion. You know,
some of the coverage of the upcoming debate that the
Harris campaign wanted muted mikes, but is also complaining that
the muted mics will prevent Donald Trump from being too
much of a bully. Yes, you see that. I mean, yes,
they truly want to have it both ways. They're like, well,
we need to have muted mikes, but if the mics
(09:51):
are muted, Donald Trump won't be able to interrupt as much,
so that'll actually make him look good. It's like, well,
you got to pick one or the other, right, Clay,
if this, if Kamala Harris, if the Harris Walls ticket
is able to win, I mean, America, I'm sorry, we
kind of get as a nation we deserve this is
a preposterous, a preposterous presidential campaign, all right. I never
thought that about Barack Obama. I didn't think that about
(10:13):
John carry. I mean, I think John Kerry is a dufus,
but I didn't think that it was preposterous that he
would be president. John Edwards was like the slimiest, grossest
of the ambulance chasers, imaginable, But I mean I could
see that, you know, the guy could have been president.
It would have been bad for the country. This is
an absurdity that you could have a candidate who's not
(10:34):
doesn't win a primary. They didn't let her become the president,
mind you, which that would have at least explained some
of this. And now she's saying vote for me. I've
changed my mind about everything yesterday. That's the Kammal candidacy.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What's wild, buck is to your point, she's not even
saying she changed her mind. She's having unnamed advisors leaked
to the New York Times and the Washington Post that
she launched laundering Really, yes, you know, they're laundering this
whole narrative so that when people like you and me
are out there saying, you know, Kamala changed her mind
or sorry, you know Kamala is in favor of decriminalizing
(11:11):
crossing the border or giving free healthcare to illegals as
soon as they arrive here, they can say, well, turned
fact check, she's no longer in favor of that, and
you're like, fact check. She hasn't addressed this at all,
and we have her on video saying this.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh. An unnamed campaign surrogate spoke to the New York
Times and said, this is all the most underhanded, slimy
propaganda campaign. I've just lies. It's just all lies.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think it also speaks for how bad of a
candidate she is, because we can rip Joe Biden as
President of the United States, but when he ran for
president in twenty twenty, Biden was smart enough not to
support defund the police. He was smart enough to run
as a candidate and recognize what anvils would exist for
him in a general election campaign. Kambalo was so desperate
(12:04):
to curry favor with the left that she wasn't even
contemplating what the consequences of taking and advocating for far
left wing positions were. I don't think that Joe Biden,
for instance, has ever advocated for reparations. I mean, these
are radical propits. Defund the police, reparations, the fact that
(12:26):
everybody gets medicare these are radical left wing ideas.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You know, And we could have anybody who's listening who's
a swing voter, meaning you've voted Republican for president, you
voted Democrat for president, if you want to call in
and chime in on this, By all means, Clay, we
know it's going to come down to the non college educated,
primarily white male voter in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. Like,
that's really the center of the entire race. Banning fracking,
(12:54):
decriminalizing illegal crossing, banning plastic strawstions for slavery. No chance
she can win. There's no chance she can win.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
As long as those voters know those positions. And that's
why I think it's so important over the next sixty
days to actually just hammer what she has advocated for
and why the debate itself, which will be watched by
tens of millions of people, is.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So Trump needs to look at her and say, tell
everybody about how excited you would be to build a wall.
Let's hear about how excited you are Kama to build
a wall. I mean, how does she get around this stuff?
How about you know they're allowed to have drinks. What
if Trump brought a plastic straw out as a prop
I love it, and when he went to go take
a drink a sip, He's like, just for your record here,
(13:43):
Kamalas said she doesn't think I should be able to
use this straw. That's how radical she is. She wants
to ban plastic straws. I think would be actually very
very funny. Look first week out there, everybody. Football season
is underway. My son played an eighth grade game last night.
I got to watch it on YouTube. By the way,

football game. But a lot of you, as fall comes along,

as aunts and uncles, as members of family. Have you
preserved those family memories forever? So many of you out there,
as summer comes to a close, have got incredible family
memories your kids going back to school. How many of

Saving America one thought at a time. Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck got some
breaking news for you on this lovely Friday. RFK Junior
he's getting some points, giving him some points from the Buckster.
He has his the Supreme Court in the state of
North Carolina. Clay just told me has agreed that RFK
(16:06):
Junior's name must be removed from the ballot as per
his request. So okay, he's off in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
If it doesn't end up getting to going to another court,
the Court of appeals so far has done it.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I don't know. I imagine that.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And this is important buck that the Biden team Harris
team is going to immediately appeal and demand that RFK
Junior's name stay on the ballot in North Carolina because
they think it hurts Trump.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Look. RFK Junior endorsed Trump, which I was very happy about,
and all along I've been saying that that's what he
should do. I also think he should have waited. Rather,
he shouldn't have waited so long to do it, and
shouldn't have stayed in so long, because now we have
this problem if he gets off all the ballots and
all the key swing states left, great, okay, welcome to
the party, RFK Junior. But it's not a good thing
(16:56):
for Trump if he stays on in those states. That
is just a reality and it's a misstep. Perhaps RFK Junior,
I'm sure doesn't want it to be that way, but
this is the concern that some of us have had
all along of running what is effectively a vanity campaign.
And that's when when you get so deep into the election,
it's a vanity campaign.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And in Michigan and Wisconsin in particular, the Kamala Harris
campaign is trying to insist after months of wanting RFK
Junior off the ballot, they now are trying to insist
that he cannot pull his name off the ballot.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
If Kamala Harris can be four banning straws, then against
it four reparations that against it the Democrat Party, certainly
Clay can be four RFK Junior on the ballot or
rather against RFK Junior on the ballot, and now for it.
And by the way, that data is the reason why
it matters in North Carolina right now is today was
scheduled to be the day that ballots were first sent
(17:50):
out in North Carolina and they would have RFK Junior's
name on them. So this is a major legal dispute
given the fact that North Carolina is a battleground state.
Tunnel Towers Foundation honor our nation's greatest heroes their sacrifices
helps our nation to never forget. One soldier to honor
Mario Nelson, who joined the National Guard and after nine
to eleven, volunteered to help with the recovery efforts at
(18:12):
Ground Zero. Mario was so motivated by his nine to
eleven experience he enlisted in the US Army. Sergeant Mario
Nelson later deployed to Iraq. Just two months shy of
coming home, he was killed in action at the age
of twenty six. Thanks to the support of friends like you,
the Tunnel of the Towers Foundation delivered a mortgage free
home to Mario's wife and daughter in their darkest hours.
(18:34):
That home brought them stability, peace of mind, and a
place to call their own. Let's continue to honor heroes
like Mario. Donate eleven dollars a month at Tunnel the
Towers at T two t dot org. That's t the
number two t dot org.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Sleeve Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Welcome back in play, Travis fuck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us as we roll into
the weekend, get ready for the Tuesday debate, Kamala Harris
taking on water Buck. Here's a good question for you,
so we know the debate is going to happen on
September tenth, that's Tuesday. Both of us agree that Kamala
(19:16):
is holding out. Whether she's willing to do another debate,
I think, frankly, just based on how she does Tuesday,
and what the overall landscape looks like, how desperate in
other words, she is getting. Do you get the sense
that we have reached the point because I do where
even media that's willing to carry water for Kamala Harris
(19:40):
is actually embarrassed for itself that she is disrespecting them
to such a degree. And let me kind of lay
this out. We've talked about before. Media is willing to
be humiliated, They're not willing to be embarrassed. And like
when Joe Biden came out on June twenty seventh and
was so bad, Remember that, only like two weeks before that,
(20:02):
everybody had been saying, oh, the Biden videos are cheap fakes.
And then the tipping point occurred and it became embarrassing
to argue that Joe Biden didn't have mental and cognitive decline,
and everybody sudden mental and physical decline. Everybody in media
suddenly admitted it overnight. It feels to me a little
bit that Kamala Harris hiding for as long as she
(20:26):
has been, that people are starting to tee off on
that now. And so my question is that going to
force her to come out of the basement? Proverbially and
actually start to engage, or do you think they just
stay to this and keep her kind of turtled and hidden.
How does this go from here?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I think that they have to continue with the strategy
and they're just going to be It's like an army
in retreat. They're going to be taking losses. But the
fear is if you stand and fight, you're going to
have annihilation. Right. I don't think that she They're just
trying to get through the storm. They know they can't
turn the whole thing off. Kamala doesn't. It's not even
(21:06):
you know, there's the whole conversation abou Kamala's political skills
and everybody else, Clay, nobody could sell what she's trying
to do. They might as well have just picked AOC
out of nowhere and said, oh, now she's a moderate.
Now she's running for president. It's absurd. She is a
California communist. She is as left wing as any member
of the United States Senate, and all of a sudden
(21:29):
she just is having the media say well of officially,
the campaign website doesn't believe that anymore. Officially, Kamala has
changed her mind on this. Okay, also if she doesn't
believe you know, what she used to, does that mean
she does believe the opposite now? As in, Okay, if
you don't believe in reparations, do you admit that it's
(21:49):
immoral and unworkable and you know, crazy, or you're just
not gonna go for this right now? Like if you
don't believe in making it legal to cross the border,
do you you agree that the only way to handle
this problem would be to dramatically increase repatriation, which is
now my preferred term for expulsion from the United States,
(22:10):
people being sent back home. This is it is like
we're living in an alternate universe because this is the
most obvious stuff imaginable. The fact that she's not doing
any press just goes to show you this is a
version of the Biden in the Basement campaign, except it's Kamala,
the stage crafted campaign where nothing can be allowed to
(22:34):
happen organically or honestly. And can the rest of the
team convince you that she actually somehow is what they
are saying she is? I mean, I don't think it's
I don't know. I don't just say. At this point,
can you imagine being persuaded to vote for Kamala, like,
if you weren't all in on this, what would the
persuasion point be that she's lying to you about everything
(22:56):
she believes. You've pointed this out. Okay, yeah, Trump is
not perfect. I know nobody's perfect, but Trump's not perfect.
And some of the stuff he says I don't agree with,
or I don't think it was set whatever. But overall,
I know what the guy stands for. I know what
kind of decision making he engages in, and I'm on
board and he's honest about it.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
He's having a press conference today, Kamala Harris has still
not had a press conference, and I had some fun
with this. The NFL kicked off yesterday, Buck. Do you
know that we hold our football coaches to a higher
standard for media communication than we do Kamala Harris. Every
football coach in America, this is crazy to think about.
For the NFL, in college is required to have an
(23:37):
open press conference the week of a game, and then
as soon as the game is over, they sit down
and they have a press conference after the game and
they can be asked. I've been in a lot of
press conference rooms over the years. In the world of sports.
They can be asked anything. What does it say about
America that we demand more out of Andy Reid and
Harbaugh who coached last night and the city chiefs in
(24:00):
the Baltimore Ravens in a great game. Then we do
Kamala Harris, Like these guys have to show up and
answer questions from media about a wide variety of different topics.
Kamala Harris hasn't done a single press conference and their
whole they're hiding her for five days to prepare for
this debate on the tenth Buck. It's ninety minutes. There's
(24:22):
two commercial breaks. When you actually consider how much time
she's going to speak, it's forty minutes maybe total. We
talk for three hours every day.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's a little bit like, uh, do you ever watch
The Prices? Right?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, I love the Prices right?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
The price is right? Good show. You know, sometimes you'd
have to like, uh, there was like the mystery thing
or like what's behind the door? Or which prize do
you want? Or this sort of thing. This is the
mystery campaign. What does Kamala Harris really think? Who is
really Kamala Harris? What does she stand for? All of
the previous data that we have they're telling us. It
doesn't count anymore. That's not who she is and who
(25:03):
is she? Now? What does she want to do? Now?
We don't know. They don't know. Nobody really knows. I've
had people ask me, They're like, yeah, what do you
think of Kamala's economic policy? And I'll say to them,
I mean, this is just friends of mine. We're talking
about stuff. I'm like, I don't know, because she doesn't know.
I mean, it's horrible. I know that because she's Kamala,
But the worst part of it, it's tough to say.
You know, now they've walked away from the price controls thing.
(25:25):
You've seen this like, now, oh, she's not really a
favorite price controls and well, she was in favorite price controls.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Two weeks ago, she gave a full speech of her
economic policy, demanding that all of the corporations stopped being
so greedy. I think maybe somebody told her, hey, Kamala,
you know Kroger has a one point four percent profit margin.
Grocery stores actually have the lowest profit margins of almost
any business in America. It's a volume based business where
(25:52):
they take a tiny share. She's she's not intelligent. I
think her advisors know it. But worse than not being intelligent,
she's also not a very good communicator, and so they're
terrified for her to answer questions at all for fear
of what she might say. And again, I think if
(26:13):
Trump just lets her talk that Tuesday is going to
be a disaster for her.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I don't even think. But see, I don't even think
of it as as so much like stylistic as in
with Biden, there was always the concern that he would
just have and he did do it a lot, and
they kept lying to us like, Oh, he's fine, he
just has to remember things to say. Biden has a stutter. Fine,
oh yeah, stutter that was That was honestly so insulting too.
And for those of you out there like me who
(26:38):
had a speech impediment that you had to overcome to
just fall back and they're like, oh, Biden, it's like
he has a disability. You're making fun of a disability. No,
he's just got dementia, which is I guess in a
sense of disability, but it comes from being too old,
which they wouldn't didn't want to admit. I think with
Kamala Clay, the problem is she can't take a position, yeah,
because she it doesn't. They want it both ways. They
(27:02):
want to have it on both sides. And once that's exposed,
even people who aren't that attuned to politics, they know
when someone's telling them that kind of a lie, like
you know, I'm the upside on the downside, I am left,
I am right, I am all things to all people
at all times. The insincerity of it is, I think
(27:23):
the real weakness that she has on top of not
being very likable or very smart.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yes, and by the way, it's true. I also think
that we go after the media quite a lot. The
fact that Kamala hasn't set down for interviews and addressed
We laid out nine issues where she's basically completely flip flopped.
We're not talking about an evolution. An evolution would be, hey,
(27:51):
I used to think that the corporate tax rate should
be twenty eight percent. Now I think twenty one percent
is the right. You could have an evolution on what
you think about tax policy. For instance, whether or not
you support reparations is a really easy question. My answer
is no. It's always been no. Kamala Harris's answer was yes,
(28:11):
and now she won't even answer questions about it. These
are for moderators, A remember when Meghan Kelly really went
after Trump in the first Fox News debate, and she
was ready for him. She had all these different things
that he had said in the past, and she went
right at him, and he was upset and they had
(28:31):
a falling out between the two of them. Was actually
you're talking about when he deflected with only Rosie O'Donnell,
because he turned that into a laugh line, so it
diffused the whole attack, and then there was kind of
a personal beef between them that they have since squashed. Correct,
But it was actually good for Trump because it forced him,
in front of a massive audience to deal with the
fact that he had evolved many of his positions over
(28:53):
the years. He was, to your point, able to handle
that and make a joke out of it and move forward,
because once it's asked, a lot of media move on. There.
For the vast majority of Kamala's changed positions, has not
been a single question that she's addressed publicly associated with it,
and a good moderator would just lead straight in, you
(29:14):
don't even need to worry about difference of agreement with Trump.
What about Kamala versus Kamala. I'm hopeful that we're actually
going to get some of those questions. And if so,
Trump just needs to get out of the way and
watch her light herself on fire.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
You know what happens if you allow yourself to get
to a place where you don't have the stuff you
need to stay focused, stay stay on it, be productive,
be masculine, you know all these things. He's start to
sound like Brian Stelter, who's come back to see it
ed that he is the poster boy, if you will,

some of the latest polling which is making libs freak out,
which I love. It's a great way to spend your
Friday talking about the live tears that are coming. But
I'm not over confident I'm not over confident. I just
know there'll be lib tears. We also have some calls
coming in here, JW in Louisiana. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
JW, Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Enjoying the
show today and thanks calling in to kind of comment
the theme of the show today, you know, with all
the flip flopping that Kamala has done and then the
next kind of thing that we're talking about. As far
as these people are all in and there's no persuading them,
(33:55):
it's I wonder what y'all's take is on just how
ignorant all these people have to be, because you know,
they were for her before she flip flopped, and now
she's done one hundred and eighty degrees on all these
issues that are major issues.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
It's just so let me let me throw this out
there for you, JW. Because I know the left. You know,
I've I've actually like co hosted shows in the past
with true leftists, I mean, people that were not It's
not like they weren't conservative enough for my liking. They
were of the left, I mean, And so I understand
the mentality and the the left wing mentality and the
Democrat Party on this issue is I don't care what
(34:32):
she says. I just want my team in power. It
doesn't She could come out tomorrow and say that her
name is actually, uh, you know, it doesn't come up
with anything you want. She could say that she's a
space alien from another dimension, and Democrats would say, and
that's why I'm voting for it. They don't care. That's
(34:53):
most of the Democrats, and the people that I think
you're referring to is, well, how could people not know
their whole hoping to fool people? Clay, I'm wondering if
you sign on to this or what your take is.
They're hoping to fool people who don't pay much attention
by flooding the market with so many lies that they
can just essentially pull one over. But they're pulling one
(35:14):
over on two or three percent of the voters.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I think I appreciate JW calling in. You're one hundred
percent right, Buck. There are sadly ninety percent of people
that are going to vote one way or the other,
and frankly the candidate doesn't matter at all. Fortunately, I
think there are ten percent of persuadable voters out there,
and I think one reason you're starting to see a
little bit of a panic set in, and we come
(35:38):
back at the top of the next hour. Nate Silver,
who we had on the show last week, has got
some data in his forecast that I think is emblematic
of what we're seeing behind closed doors. And this is
always important. We don't always see the best polls. These
campaigns are paying tens of millions of dollars to get
the absolute latest number. And where I think they are
(36:02):
hemorrhaging support is in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. And I
think a lot of these voters out there are looking
around at Kamala. They bought into Joe Biden as Scranton, Joe,
I'm gonna fight for the Union. I'm an old white guy.
You can trust me. I'm not crazy, and they're looking
around at Kamala Harris. Joe Biden wasn't trying to ban straws.
(36:24):
Joe Biden wasn't trying to ban fracking. Joe Biden wasn't
trying to defund the police. He was actually talking, honestly,
a much more moderate game. Kama is a far left
wing She's the number one most liberal Senate Democrat. She's
from California, that's starting to get recognized. Buck, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
This is why they just went on decided it would
be Biden in twenty twenty because they thought he was
a better matchup against Trump in the Swing States than
they were right. They didn't decide it was Kamala then
for a reason, and we'll talk more about that
Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We
appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we
are rolling sixty days until the big election ballots. This
is crazy going out in North Carolina. By next week,
some of you will be able to vote. In this country.
(00:23):
We don't have election Day, we have election season, and
we're going to be with you throughout the course of
the next sixty days and beyond as Donald Trump attempts
to take out Kamala Harris and return to the White
House and next week Buck on Tuesday, the big story
of the week is going to be potentially the only
(00:44):
debate taking place between Trump and Kamala Harris in Philadelphia.
No audience, muted mics, all of the same rules effectively
that were in place for the last debate, which feels
like years ago now on June twenty seventh because of
all the things that have occurred since then. But Kamala
(01:06):
is walking into a buzzsaw if Trump is well prepared
to go after her to the extent that even places
that are typically very favorable of Kamala Harris. This morning
when I woke up, Axios has a Rosterbuck, I don't
know if you saw this. It has a roster of
(01:26):
nine different major issues where Kamala Harris hasn't just changed
her opinion, she is now espousing the exact opposite of
what she said prior when she ran for office. And
if Trump is ready to hit her with this, I
don't think Kamala can respond. Let me hit you with
these bucks. This is from Axios. The headline is nine
(01:48):
areas in which Kamala has shifted views or her current
position is unknown. Did you see the most recent Kamala
said that she no longer is in favor of banning
plastic extra.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I mean she is working hard for my vote there,
because banning plastic straws is for morons. But yes, she.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Now says she does not favor a mandate for electric vehicles.
She now says she's not in favor of banning fracking.
She now says she does not support a mandatory gun
buyback program. She now says she does not believe that
crossing the border should be decriminalized decriminalized. She now says
(02:28):
she does not believe that building a border wall is racist.
In fact, she wants to build a border wall. She
says there should be no federal jobs guarantee, and she
says she no longer believes in Medicare for all.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Her team has.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Been unwilling to answer buck whether she still believes that
reparation should be provided for slavery. These are crazy things
that are relatively major that she's either pretending she never
said or completely opposed to.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Now Kamala Harris thinks that Kamala Harris is a communist.
Apparently that's what you can take from this list. She's like,
who is that crazy person who was saying we should
have a ban on plastic straws, Medicare for all, federal
jobs guarantee, mandatory buy back program, that's just confiscation of
(03:21):
your rifles? What kind of communist lunatic was that? It
was Kamala Harris until five minutes ago. And she knows
she can't win with these positions, so suddenly, all of
a sudden, Kamala Harris isn't. This is the part that
is even crazier, if that's possible. I mean, we're going
(03:41):
so deep into the rabbit hole here of Democrat distortion
and delusion that but Clay, she hasn't repudiated any of
this really, because it's not Kamala Harris, who was going
forth to the American people and saying, look, here's what
I said, here's why I changed my mind. Here's the
evidence that came in. That's what.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
No, she is having anonymous campaign ads feed this narrative
to the media so that just like uh, tight end
on a football field, Clay, they can run and throw
the blocks. And that's what the media is doing. They're saying, well,
she doesn't right, that's that's the time. I mean, they
run and throw the blocks. Sounds like you're someone who
(04:25):
does it. Yeah, close enough. The point is the media
gets to deploy now and say, oh, she doesn't believe
that anymore. With that, you know what I mean, they
skip that very important step for somebody who wants the
most important job in the world of why do you
repudiate everything that you used to stand for and believe
of any consequence or substance. I think that's an important
(04:47):
thing to get answers on. One hundred percent. It is,
and this is something for all of you to have
in the back of your mind as Tuesday gets closer. Really,
Trump isn't debating against Kamala. Kamala should be having to
debate against herself because she's taken opposite perspectives on many
different issues. And again, Trump is, generally speaking, I think
(05:09):
a better counter puncher and reactor than he is a
puncher in these debate context But I hope they are
drilling him to just come back time after time to
the fact that you can't trust Kamala, that she is
a chameleon, that she has left wing policies and she's
trying to hide them from the American public. And let
(05:31):
me just hammer this in advance of that.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
She isn't able to defend these perspectives because I don't
think that she is a very skilled politician, And so
if he puts her on the spot or honestly, what
should happen is, if we had a honest moderator, they
would be putting Kamala on the spot and saying, why
have you changed your position on so many of these
(05:56):
issues and laying them out in an objective fashion. I
don't know that we'll get it, so I think Trump
might have to do it, but an honest moderator would
legitimately be grilling Kamala on these questions.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I also think that it's very clear there's a recognition
in the Kamala campaign that she can't address these issues right.
On the one hand, I know I'm hitting her for
not actually explaining any of this, and that's clearly the
strategies to have media surrogates explain away her entire record,
(06:26):
not even record what she used to believe. I mean,
this is even worse. This isn't like I signed onto
a bill. It was complicated. There were things that I wanted.
It's I want blank for America. And this was not
even four years ago. We have to assume that she
believed these things until five six weeks ago. I mean
that's when all of a sudden everything started changing. But
(06:47):
they recognize that it would be devastating to anybody with
a functional brain watching it. It would be devastating to
have Kamala, even if she does it one by one. Yeah,
you know, I don't really believe in reparations for Slaver anymore. Yeah.
I don't really believe in you know, I do believe
in building the wall.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
That's a huge thing I was fighting with with libs
Clay during I fin I've fought with the the Biden
Energy Secretary Grantall, she's an imbecile, and the bill Mahershaw
about the.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Wall on the border. They were like, Oh, the wall's inhumane,
it's awful. Now Kamala is for the wall all of
a sudden, because she knows if they All I'm saying
is if she addressed them, the super cut would end her,
would end her campaign, the super cut of I don't
believe in anything I used to believe in as a politician.
They can't. They can't make up that distance for her.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The reparations thing, to me, is really fertile ground for
Trump because the data reflects that it's like a seventy
five to twenty five issue. And I know, economy, border crime,
all of those things are big. She won't even answer
what she thinks about on reparations because I believe she's
aware that she's not doing great as well as she
(08:00):
needs to with black voters, and black voters a lot
of them support reparations, and that's why she said she
supported it when she was running for president in twenty twenty.
And what is incredibly intriguing about this is she should
get directly asked about This is an easy one for Trump. No,
I don't support reparations. That's an easy answer. Seventy five
(08:21):
percent of Americans are going to agree with her. When
Kamala walks back her support for reparations, I think she's
actually going to be hurt not only with the seventy
five percent who doesn't trust her, but with the twenty
five percent that does support reparations. I think it's a
double win for Trump on that issue in particular. And
what I would ask all of you to pay attention
(08:43):
to is this is the benefit of.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Trump doing media everywhere.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Whatever you think about Trump, his positions are pretty clear,
and he's addressed and discussed all of them. Now. It
doesn't mean he's not going to get ripped for some
of his opinions, but I think most people are aware
of what he's done. The fact that they have hidden
Kamala has actually kept many of these issues from being raised.
Remember only the fracking issue was really aggressively questioned by
(09:11):
Dana Bash in her CNN interview. The wall, by itself
is an incredibly huge issue that it's impossible for Kamala
Harris to address. And I just hope Trump lets Kamala
talk like he let Biden talk, because I think the
more Kamala talks, the less people are going to like her.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Did you see I love this and the discussion. You know,
some of the coverage of the upcoming debate that the
Harris campaign wanted muted mikes, but is also complaining that
the muted mics will prevent Donald Trump from being too
much of a bully. Yes, you see that. I mean, yes,
they truly want to have it both ways. They're like, well,
we need to have muted mikes, but if the mics
(09:51):
are muted, Donald Trump won't be able to interrupt as much,
so that'll actually make him look good. It's like, well,
you got to pick one or the other, right, Clay,
if this, if Kamala Harris, if the Harris Walls ticket
is able to win, I mean, America, I'm sorry, we
kind of get as a nation we deserve this is
a preposterous, a preposterous presidential campaign, all right. I never
thought that about Barack Obama. I didn't think that about
(10:13):
John carry. I mean, I think John Kerry is a dufus,
but I didn't think that it was preposterous that he
would be president. John Edwards was like the slimiest, grossest
of the ambulance chasers, imaginable, But I mean I could
see that, you know, the guy could have been president.
It would have been bad for the country. This is
an absurdity that you could have a candidate who's not
(10:34):
doesn't win a primary. They didn't let her become the president,
mind you, which that would have at least explained some
of this. And now she's saying vote for me. I've
changed my mind about everything yesterday. That's the Kammal candidacy.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What's wild, buck is to your point, she's not even
saying she changed her mind. She's having unnamed advisors leaked
to the New York Times and the Washington Post that
she launched laundering Really, yes, you know, they're laundering this
whole narrative so that when people like you and me
are out there saying, you know, Kamala changed her mind
or sorry, you know Kamala is in favor of decriminalizing
(11:11):
crossing the border or giving free healthcare to illegals as
soon as they arrive here, they can say, well, turned
fact check, she's no longer in favor of that, and
you're like, fact check. She hasn't addressed this at all,
and we have her on video saying this.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh. An unnamed campaign surrogate spoke to the New York
Times and said, this is all the most underhanded, slimy
propaganda campaign. I've just lies. It's just all lies.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think it also speaks for how bad of a
candidate she is, because we can rip Joe Biden as
President of the United States, but when he ran for
president in twenty twenty, Biden was smart enough not to
support defund the police. He was smart enough to run
as a candidate and recognize what anvils would exist for
him in a general election campaign. Kambalo was so desperate
(12:04):
to curry favor with the left that she wasn't even
contemplating what the consequences of taking and advocating for far
left wing positions were. I don't think that Joe Biden,
for instance, has ever advocated for reparations. I mean, these
are radical propits. Defund the police, reparations, the fact that
(12:26):
everybody gets medicare these are radical left wing ideas.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You know, And we could have anybody who's listening who's
a swing voter, meaning you've voted Republican for president, you
voted Democrat for president, if you want to call in
and chime in on this, By all means, Clay, we
know it's going to come down to the non college educated,
primarily white male voter in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. Like,
that's really the center of the entire race. Banning fracking,
(12:54):
decriminalizing illegal crossing, banning plastic strawstions for slavery. No chance
she can win. There's no chance she can win.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
As long as those voters know those positions. And that's
why I think it's so important over the next sixty
days to actually just hammer what she has advocated for
and why the debate itself, which will be watched by
tens of millions of people, is.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So Trump needs to look at her and say, tell
everybody about how excited you would be to build a wall.
Let's hear about how excited you are Kama to build
a wall. I mean, how does she get around this stuff?
How about you know they're allowed to have drinks. What
if Trump brought a plastic straw out as a prop
I love it, and when he went to go take
a drink a sip, He's like, just for your record here,
(13:43):
Kamalas said she doesn't think I should be able to
use this straw. That's how radical she is. She wants
to ban plastic straws. I think would be actually very
very funny. Look first week out there, everybody. Football season
is underway. My son played an eighth grade game last night.
I got to watch it on YouTube. By the way,

Saving America one thought at a time. Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck got some
breaking news for you on this lovely Friday. RFK Junior
he's getting some points, giving him some points from the Buckster.
He has his the Supreme Court in the state of
North Carolina. Clay just told me has agreed that RFK
(16:06):
Junior's name must be removed from the ballot as per
his request. So okay, he's off in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
If it doesn't end up getting to going to another court,
the Court of appeals so far has done it.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I don't know. I imagine that.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And this is important buck that the Biden team Harris
team is going to immediately appeal and demand that RFK
Junior's name stay on the ballot in North Carolina because
they think it hurts Trump.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Look. RFK Junior endorsed Trump, which I was very happy about,
and all along I've been saying that that's what he
should do. I also think he should have waited. Rather,
he shouldn't have waited so long to do it, and
shouldn't have stayed in so long, because now we have
this problem if he gets off all the ballots and
all the key swing states left, great, okay, welcome to
the party, RFK Junior. But it's not a good thing
(16:56):
for Trump if he stays on in those states. That
is just a reality and it's a misstep. Perhaps RFK Junior,
I'm sure doesn't want it to be that way, but
this is the concern that some of us have had
all along of running what is effectively a vanity campaign.
And that's when when you get so deep into the election,
it's a vanity campaign.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And in Michigan and Wisconsin in particular, the Kamala Harris
campaign is trying to insist after months of wanting RFK
Junior off the ballot, they now are trying to insist
that he cannot pull his name off the ballot.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
If Kamala Harris can be four banning straws, then against
it four reparations that against it the Democrat Party, certainly
Clay can be four RFK Junior on the ballot or
rather against RFK Junior on the ballot, and now for it.
And by the way, that data is the reason why
it matters in North Carolina right now is today was
scheduled to be the day that ballots were first sent
(17:50):
out in North Carolina and they would have RFK Junior's
name on them. So this is a major legal dispute
given the fact that North Carolina is a battleground state.
Tunnel Towers Foundation honor our nation's greatest heroes their sacrifices
helps our nation to never forget. One soldier to honor
Mario Nelson, who joined the National Guard and after nine
to eleven, volunteered to help with the recovery efforts at
(18:12):
Ground Zero. Mario was so motivated by his nine to
eleven experience he enlisted in the US Army. Sergeant Mario
Nelson later deployed to Iraq. Just two months shy of
coming home, he was killed in action at the age
of twenty six. Thanks to the support of friends like you,
the Tunnel of the Towers Foundation delivered a mortgage free
home to Mario's wife and daughter in their darkest hours.
(18:34):
That home brought them stability, peace of mind, and a
place to call their own. Let's continue to honor heroes
like Mario. Donate eleven dollars a month at Tunnel the
Towers at T two t dot org. That's t the
number two t dot org.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Sleeve Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Welcome back in play, Travis fuck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us as we roll into
the weekend, get ready for the Tuesday debate, Kamala Harris
taking on water Buck. Here's a good question for you,
so we know the debate is going to happen on
September tenth, that's Tuesday. Both of us agree that Kamala
(19:16):
is holding out. Whether she's willing to do another debate,
I think, frankly, just based on how she does Tuesday,
and what the overall landscape looks like, how desperate in
other words, she is getting. Do you get the sense
that we have reached the point because I do where
even media that's willing to carry water for Kamala Harris
(19:40):
is actually embarrassed for itself that she is disrespecting them
to such a degree. And let me kind of lay
this out. We've talked about before. Media is willing to
be humiliated, They're not willing to be embarrassed. And like
when Joe Biden came out on June twenty seventh and
was so bad, Remember that, only like two weeks before that,
(20:02):
everybody had been saying, oh, the Biden videos are cheap fakes.
And then the tipping point occurred and it became embarrassing
to argue that Joe Biden didn't have mental and cognitive decline,
and everybody sudden mental and physical decline. Everybody in media
suddenly admitted it overnight. It feels to me a little
bit that Kamala Harris hiding for as long as she
(20:26):
has been, that people are starting to tee off on
that now. And so my question is that going to
force her to come out of the basement? Proverbially and
actually start to engage, or do you think they just
stay to this and keep her kind of turtled and hidden.
How does this go from here?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I think that they have to continue with the strategy
and they're just going to be It's like an army
in retreat. They're going to be taking losses. But the
fear is if you stand and fight, you're going to
have annihilation. Right. I don't think that she They're just
trying to get through the storm. They know they can't
turn the whole thing off. Kamala doesn't. It's not even
(21:06):
you know, there's the whole conversation abou Kamala's political skills
and everybody else, Clay, nobody could sell what she's trying
to do. They might as well have just picked AOC
out of nowhere and said, oh, now she's a moderate.
Now she's running for president. It's absurd. She is a
California communist. She is as left wing as any member
of the United States Senate, and all of a sudden
(21:29):
she just is having the media say well of officially,
the campaign website doesn't believe that anymore. Officially, Kamala has
changed her mind on this. Okay, also if she doesn't
believe you know, what she used to, does that mean
she does believe the opposite now? As in, Okay, if
you don't believe in reparations, do you admit that it's
(21:49):
immoral and unworkable and you know, crazy, or you're just
not gonna go for this right now? Like if you
don't believe in making it legal to cross the border,
do you you agree that the only way to handle
this problem would be to dramatically increase repatriation, which is
now my preferred term for expulsion from the United States,
(22:10):
people being sent back home. This is it is like
we're living in an alternate universe because this is the
most obvious stuff imaginable. The fact that she's not doing
any press just goes to show you this is a
version of the Biden in the Basement campaign, except it's Kamala,
the stage crafted campaign where nothing can be allowed to
(22:34):
happen organically or honestly. And can the rest of the
team convince you that she actually somehow is what they
are saying she is? I mean, I don't think it's
I don't know. I don't just say. At this point,
can you imagine being persuaded to vote for Kamala, like,
if you weren't all in on this, what would the
persuasion point be that she's lying to you about everything
(22:56):
she believes. You've pointed this out. Okay, yeah, Trump is
not perfect. I know nobody's perfect, but Trump's not perfect.
And some of the stuff he says I don't agree with,
or I don't think it was set whatever. But overall,
I know what the guy stands for. I know what
kind of decision making he engages in, and I'm on
board and he's honest about it.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
He's having a press conference today, Kamala Harris has still
not had a press conference, and I had some fun
with this. The NFL kicked off yesterday, Buck. Do you
know that we hold our football coaches to a higher
standard for media communication than we do Kamala Harris. Every
football coach in America, this is crazy to think about.
For the NFL, in college is required to have an
(23:37):
open press conference the week of a game, and then
as soon as the game is over, they sit down
and they have a press conference after the game and
they can be asked. I've been in a lot of
press conference rooms over the years. In the world of sports.
They can be asked anything. What does it say about
America that we demand more out of Andy Reid and
Harbaugh who coached last night and the city chiefs in
(24:00):
the Baltimore Ravens in a great game. Then we do
Kamala Harris, Like these guys have to show up and
answer questions from media about a wide variety of different topics.
Kamala Harris hasn't done a single press conference and their
whole they're hiding her for five days to prepare for
this debate on the tenth Buck. It's ninety minutes. There's
(24:22):
two commercial breaks. When you actually consider how much time
she's going to speak, it's forty minutes maybe total. We
talk for three hours every day.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's a little bit like, uh, do you ever watch
The Prices? Right?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, I love the Prices right?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
The price is right? Good show. You know, sometimes you'd
have to like, uh, there was like the mystery thing
or like what's behind the door? Or which prize do
you want? Or this sort of thing. This is the
mystery campaign. What does Kamala Harris really think? Who is
really Kamala Harris? What does she stand for? All of
the previous data that we have they're telling us. It
doesn't count anymore. That's not who she is and who
(25:03):
is she? Now? What does she want to do? Now?
We don't know. They don't know. Nobody really knows. I've
had people ask me, They're like, yeah, what do you
think of Kamala's economic policy? And I'll say to them,
I mean, this is just friends of mine. We're talking
about stuff. I'm like, I don't know, because she doesn't know.
I mean, it's horrible. I know that because she's Kamala,
But the worst part of it, it's tough to say.
You know, now they've walked away from the price controls thing.
(25:25):
You've seen this like, now, oh, she's not really a
favorite price controls and well, she was in favorite price controls.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Two weeks ago, she gave a full speech of her
economic policy, demanding that all of the corporations stopped being
so greedy. I think maybe somebody told her, hey, Kamala,
you know Kroger has a one point four percent profit margin.
Grocery stores actually have the lowest profit margins of almost
any business in America. It's a volume based business where
(25:52):
they take a tiny share. She's she's not intelligent. I
think her advisors know it. But worse than not being intelligent,
she's also not a very good communicator, and so they're
terrified for her to answer questions at all for fear
of what she might say. And again, I think if
(26:13):
Trump just lets her talk that Tuesday is going to
be a disaster for her.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I don't even think. But see, I don't even think
of it as as so much like stylistic as in
with Biden, there was always the concern that he would
just have and he did do it a lot, and
they kept lying to us like, Oh, he's fine, he
just has to remember things to say. Biden has a stutter. Fine,
oh yeah, stutter that was That was honestly so insulting too.
And for those of you out there like me who
(26:38):
had a speech impediment that you had to overcome to
just fall back and they're like, oh, Biden, it's like
he has a disability. You're making fun of a disability. No,
he's just got dementia, which is I guess in a
sense of disability, but it comes from being too old,
which they wouldn't didn't want to admit. I think with
Kamala Clay, the problem is she can't take a position, yeah,
because she it doesn't. They want it both ways. They
(27:02):
want to have it on both sides. And once that's exposed,
even people who aren't that attuned to politics, they know
when someone's telling them that kind of a lie, like
you know, I'm the upside on the downside, I am left,
I am right, I am all things to all people
at all times. The insincerity of it is, I think
(27:23):
the real weakness that she has on top of not
being very likable or very smart.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yes, and by the way, it's true. I also think
that we go after the media quite a lot. The
fact that Kamala hasn't set down for interviews and addressed
We laid out nine issues where she's basically completely flip flopped.
We're not talking about an evolution. An evolution would be, hey,
(27:51):
I used to think that the corporate tax rate should
be twenty eight percent. Now I think twenty one percent
is the right. You could have an evolution on what
you think about tax policy. For instance, whether or not
you support reparations is a really easy question. My answer
is no. It's always been no. Kamala Harris's answer was yes,
(28:11):
and now she won't even answer questions about it. These
are for moderators, A remember when Meghan Kelly really went
after Trump in the first Fox News debate, and she
was ready for him. She had all these different things
that he had said in the past, and she went
right at him, and he was upset and they had
(28:31):
a falling out between the two of them. Was actually
you're talking about when he deflected with only Rosie O'Donnell,
because he turned that into a laugh line, so it
diffused the whole attack, and then there was kind of
a personal beef between them that they have since squashed. Correct,
But it was actually good for Trump because it forced him,
in front of a massive audience to deal with the
fact that he had evolved many of his positions over
(28:53):
the years. He was, to your point, able to handle
that and make a joke out of it and move forward,
because once it's asked, a lot of media move on. There.
For the vast majority of Kamala's changed positions, has not
been a single question that she's addressed publicly associated with it,
and a good moderator would just lead straight in, you
(29:14):
don't even need to worry about difference of agreement with Trump.
What about Kamala versus Kamala. I'm hopeful that we're actually
going to get some of those questions. And if so,
Trump just needs to get out of the way and
watch her light herself on fire.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
You know what happens if you allow yourself to get
to a place where you don't have the stuff you
need to stay focused, stay stay on it, be productive,
be masculine, you know all these things. He's start to
sound like Brian Stelter, who's come back to see it
ed that he is the poster boy, if you will,
for not having enough test asterode and the vim and
(29:50):
vigor and vitality you need to get through your day.

you don't want to get steltered, and I know what

some of the latest polling which is making libs freak out,
which I love. It's a great way to spend your
Friday talking about the live tears that are coming. But
I'm not over confident I'm not over confident. I just
know there'll be lib tears. We also have some calls
coming in here, JW in Louisiana. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
JW, Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Enjoying the
show today and thanks calling in to kind of comment
the theme of the show today, you know, with all
the flip flopping that Kamala has done and then the
next kind of thing that we're talking about. As far
as these people are all in and there's no persuading them,
(33:55):
it's I wonder what y'all's take is on just how
ignorant all these people have to be, because you know,
they were for her before she flip flopped, and now
she's done one hundred and eighty degrees on all these
issues that are major issues.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
It's just so let me let me throw this out
there for you, JW. Because I know the left. You know,
I've I've actually like co hosted shows in the past
with true leftists, I mean, people that were not It's
not like they weren't conservative enough for my liking. They
were of the left, I mean, And so I understand
the mentality and the the left wing mentality and the
Democrat Party on this issue is I don't care what
(34:32):
she says. I just want my team in power. It
doesn't She could come out tomorrow and say that her
name is actually, uh, you know, it doesn't come up
with anything you want. She could say that she's a
space alien from another dimension, and Democrats would say, and
that's why I'm voting for it. They don't care. That's
(34:53):
most of the Democrats, and the people that I think
you're referring to is, well, how could people not know
their whole hoping to fool people? Clay, I'm wondering if
you sign on to this or what your take is.
They're hoping to fool people who don't pay much attention
by flooding the market with so many lies that they
can just essentially pull one over. But they're pulling one
(35:14):
over on two or three percent of the voters.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I think I appreciate JW calling in. You're one hundred
percent right, Buck. There are sadly ninety percent of people
that are going to vote one way or the other,
and frankly the candidate doesn't matter at all. Fortunately, I
think there are ten percent of persuadable voters out there,
and I think one reason you're starting to see a
little bit of a panic set in, and we come
(35:38):
back at the top of the next hour. Nate Silver,
who we had on the show last week, has got
some data in his forecast that I think is emblematic
of what we're seeing behind closed doors. And this is
always important. We don't always see the best polls. These
campaigns are paying tens of millions of dollars to get
the absolute latest number. And where I think they are
(36:02):
hemorrhaging support is in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. And I
think a lot of these voters out there are looking
around at Kamala. They bought into Joe Biden as Scranton, Joe,
I'm gonna fight for the Union. I'm an old white guy.
You can trust me. I'm not crazy, and they're looking
around at Kamala Harris. Joe Biden wasn't trying to ban straws.
(36:24):
Joe Biden wasn't trying to ban fracking. Joe Biden wasn't
trying to defund the police. He was actually talking, honestly,
a much more moderate game. Kama is a far left
wing She's the number one most liberal Senate Democrat. She's
from California, that's starting to get recognized. Buck, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
This is why they just went on decided it would
be Biden in twenty twenty because they thought he was
a better matchup against Trump in the Swing States than
they were right. They didn't decide it was Kamala then
for a reason, and we'll talk more about that
