Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in everybody. Monday edition of the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. I am solo
this week is you know, Clay taking a week of
much as their vacation, and fortunately today my voice is
pretty much back. I beat the coal with some help
from my Krocketcoffee of course, Crocketcoffee dot com. Please subscribe
(00:23):
get the best most America loving, freedom supporting coffee ever.
Plus ten percent of profits goes tunnel to towers, go
to Crocketcoffee dot Com and I use it to push
through a cold. So there you go. Gives you that
fiery uh well, fire in the belly. There you go.
I've got so much to dive into today. Polls from
(00:43):
over the weekend. I've got a lot of people that
are coming to me now. I guess some some folks
are a little week in the knees on the right,
they're a little you know, Oh my gosh, is Kamala
going to win? No, we don't roll with that here.
We're good. We're good. We stay focused, We stay from
the Trump is on it, and Trump is going to
(01:04):
come out the winner here. We just have to do
our part, we the voters and Trump the campaigner and
the people around him. If we execute the plan, we win.
That's how I see it. And so part of the
plan is trying to get as much of the truth
out there as possible, because the lies are coming fast
and furious. I have never seen so much condensed rewriting
(01:31):
of history as I have witnessed with the Kamala Harris
Tim Walls ticket. It is astonishing, it is. And yes,
I saw the polls over the weekend that they basically
have Kamala within the margin of error, but up in
a whole bunch of swing states. Now, Trump is still
in a better position going into a presidential election than
(01:55):
he's ever been in before. And he's in a better
position than he was in twenty twenty when he was
in a razor tight, finished with razor thin finish with
Joe Biden, and better than he was in twenty sixteen
when he trounced Hillary Clinton. So keep that in mind here,
all right. I know that there's whiplash. I know there's
(02:17):
a feeling of oh my gosh, it's all shifted on us.
So quickly, just we take a beat. We don't get
caught up in the emotions of the moment. We leave
the mob emotions to the Democrats, you know, to the collectivist.
So they're like, oh my gosh, what did that person say.
I'm going to say the same thing. Let's all just shout.
Let's shout the brainless slogan together, the bleating of the
(02:39):
sheep for those of you who are or well well
nineteen eighty four, but also animal farm is what I
was referencing, orwell fans. This though, is a particularly brazen
moment in the campaign for the presidency from Kamala and
I have to start with this. She was campaigning, and
(03:00):
she was in Nevada, and that's obviously an important state.
It is a swing state. I think Trump's still looking
good there no matter who you talk to, but they're
trying to make in roads the Democrat side of things,
and Kamala Harris all of a sudden just works this
into her her routine. Up there with the prompter is
guiding her through this is cut one play it and.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Is she doing a Trump impression? Like I would prefer
it if Kamala got.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Up there, she was like, probably the best thing we
could do would be borrowing from Donald himself including the
voice and say, big, beautiful removal of taxes on tips.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We love it. It's gonna be great. I would have
preferred that. I would prefer a full on impersonation to
what we got there. I mean, you heard that, you
know what, team play it one more time, just soever
we could hear this is Kamala's new big idea.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
And eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Right, the thing that Donald Trump has been saying, and
that Democrats just because they whatever Trump likes, they must oppose,
at least in the moment. Democrats have spent time saying
he's going to blow up the debt with that, and
we're going to have so much, the deficit's going to
be huge, and these all this stuff. And I suppose
now they're going to change change this around CNBC headline,
(04:33):
I mean Axios actually gets this more more accurately. I
think Harris copies Trump's promise on no tax for tips. Yes,
she copied it. This is a straight up plagiarism. This
is a ooh, that's a good idea. I'm going to
do that too, which is amazing because hold on a second,
(04:55):
I thought Donald Trump was horrible. I thought Donald Trump
was a threat to the republic. The new savior of
the Democrats, Kamala Harris, the savior of the Democrat Party,
is just taking the newest and most compelling idea from
Donald Trump as to what he would do. And you're
supposed to not notice this or not not pay attention
(05:18):
to it. I love CNBC's headline here Harris matches trump
proposal to ban taxes on tips at Las Vegas rally.
I mean, yeah, she matched it, That's one way of
saying it. She lifted it. This is telling you actually
a lot more than the Democrats want you to pick up.
(05:38):
But one is Kamala has no ideas. She stands for
whatever the Democrat machine tells her to. And in that
sense she's formidable. You know that means I have a
lack of intellectual respect for her, yes, because I don't
think she has any particular ideas of her own. But
she is a She is a good comrade. She is
(05:58):
an apparat chick, a cog in the wheel of the apparatus,
and even at the very top, she will do what
the party wants, which I will point out so same
thing with Joe Biden. Joe Biden broke with Democrats as
president on nothing on nothing, and the left wing of
the Democrat Party which now is the Democrat Party, or
(06:21):
rather runs it. You know, in a few places they play,
Oh I'm I'm like a Midwestern duck hunting Democrat. Oh yeah, sure,
you're seeing that with Tim Walls, which, oh, don't worry,
we'll get to that a little bit. But stealing the
no tax on tips things, it's so brazen you almost
have to respect. You're like, wow, wow, they're just gonna
(06:44):
do that. And the big hope is that they can
get through the days ahead less than three months. They
can get through the days ahead of this election, get
into early voting hiding who Kamala Harris really is and
what her record really is from the American people. That's obvious.
I mean, this is basement campaign two point zero. This
(07:05):
is not technically in a basement, but incredibly stage managed
a campaign that is being built in a lab by
consultants for the Democrats, for the Obama brain trust to
come together and decide what the Harris campaign shall actually
(07:30):
say out loud via the teleprompters, via the scripted moments.
They'll say anything to protect this I would note. Now
they'll even go to the lengths of maybe Kamala Harris
doesn't even Why do we even have to I was
seeing this over the weekend. Why does she even have
to talk to the press. Why does it even matter
if she does an interview. Yes, the person who wants
(07:52):
the job to represent three hundred and forty million Americans. However,
many tens of millions of illegals are here. The person
who wants that job and the nuclear codes and the
most authority and power of any position in the entire world.
Why should the American people who are supposed to vote
for that person really know anything about that person. This
(08:13):
is the media doing what it does. You know, I
know the Olympics are over, but if being a contortionist
was an Olympic event. The journals running cover for Kamala
the contortions they are engaged in oof remarkable stuff. Anything
that anything that will help or it doesn't make any difference.
Any lies they have to tell, they will go all
(08:36):
in on them. And I just sit here and in
some sense and I expect it, but it's still it's
still astonishing. Rights It's almost like I'm waiting for a
solar eclipse. Or something to happen. You know, you know
it's coming, but when you see it, you go, WHOA,
that's pretty interesting. And that's how I feel about all
the things they're doing with this Kamala campaign right now.
(08:58):
I will say I would like to have more of
a I would like to see more dominance of the
news cycle by Trump. I know that's hard because they
they normally would be talking about Trump to tear him down,
but that now the Democrat apparatus is crowding out the
(09:20):
anti trump ism for the time being with the fabrication,
the manufacturing of the Kamala narrative. Right, and as I've
told you, I got two guy, it's funny. One of
I think it was my little sister Saul. She's like,
who's Kamala Harris? She was visiting us the weekend. She goes,
who's Kamala Harris autobiography is this? I was like, well,
(09:42):
that belongs to me. I'll have you know. It's quite
a page, Sarner. It's actually not at all. It's incredibly boring,
But you know, I gotta know, I gotta know what's
going on. I want to understand who this person is,
or rather scratch that I've got to understand who the
person is that they want you to believe. Kamala Harris's right,
(10:06):
What is their presentation? What is the way they have
molded the narrative of her life and her success and
what she stands for? This is very important. We'll call
also in the Obama years, Obama had two autobiographies when
she didn't write, but put that aside, and if you
wanted to really understand how they created the mythology of
(10:28):
obama Ism, you had to read those right. So I
feel the same way about Kamala Harris. So I want
to understand what they're trying to present. They have a
weak product. They know they have a weak product. So
now the question becomes how much can they get away with?
How much are they able to foist on the American
(10:49):
people in terms of falsehood without backlash? And that I
think is going to be something that we have to
put pressure on we have. This is where confronting the lies.
I know it can feel like a fool's errand I
know it can feel like there's so many of them buck,
how can we ever swap them all down? Well, that's
(11:16):
the task ahead of us. We'll take some of your
calls here eight hundred two eight two two eight a
two kamala on the border, by the way, perhaps the
biggest lie of all. We're going to get to that
here shortly. You know, this month is a busy one
for me. I'm excited to start publishing a weekly e newsletter.
The first one is going to be going out tonight,
(11:36):

Speaker 4 (12:20):
The world has gone insane. We claim your sanity with
Clay and Fund find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I believe that Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is.
But I believe importantly that President Trump is right that
she's a chameleon. She pretends to be one thing in
front of one audience, she pretends to be something different
in front of another audience. She's not running a political campaign,
she's running a movie. She only speaks to voters behind
a teleprompter. Everything is scripted. She doesn't have her policy
(12:52):
positions out there. She hasn't answered why she wanted to
band fracking, but now she doesn't. She wanted to fund police,
but now she does. She wanted to open the border,
but now she doesn't. She should have to answer for
why she presents a different set of policies to one
audience and a different set of policies to another audience.
And I think that's what President Trump is getting at.
This is a fundamentally fake person. She's different depending on
(13:13):
who she's in front of.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I think the description of Kamala's politics as chameleon like
is very apt. I think that's when we should we
should borrow. I feeling Trump has a nickname for both
of these individuals that we'll be hearing soon enough. But
this is exactly what she's done. She has tried to
(13:38):
tell everybody that everything that she used to believe a
few years ago, not as like college freshman a few
years ago when she was trying to be president the
first time. She doesn't believe some of the most important
and controversial positions that she took then. But what does
she believe now? Essentially, the people around her a, the media,
(14:01):
and the campaign are presenting this as all the things
that you think you can hit Kamala on that are
unpopular in a general election are off the table because
we say so, or rather because we say that she
said so, and that's the end of the story. Well,
hold on, why what made her change your mind? And
(14:24):
what is her position now? They're just looking to avoid
the negative hit and hoping that there can be the
smoke screen of media complicity that keeps her from being exposed.
Isn't this an amazing thing? It's the second time now
the Democrats have been running this kind of a playbook.
(14:47):
They did it with Joe Biden and now they're doing
it with Kamala Harris. They only can win by making
sure you don't really know what this person will do
when they become president, and by lying about what this
person believes now so they can become president. The whole
thing is a deception.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
They could say whatever they want about Trump, and they have.
We all know that Trump has certain things that he
believes in. Trump has ideas that he has pursued. Trump. Yes,
we talk about the great economy, we talk about trade
Donald Trump. And I will never forget this because the
people that I knew in DC who were actual trade experts,
(15:28):
trade policy nerds, they were the only ones, and in
only a few cases, who were saying Trump's right, you
got to renegotiate NAFTA, you got to take a different
approach to China. So some of those ideas not only
was Trump successful in pursuing, but he went against his
own party. Because that's leadership. What's the big Kamala Harris
(15:52):
idea other than she's a black female Democrat, vote for
her and not Trump. What is the big Kamala Harris
notion that she's going to support women in blue states
can have it? You know, there the states that are
Democrat controlled, abortion is as, if not more extreme than
(16:13):
it was under the Row regime. So what exactly is
she offering. She wants to try to get a federal
law pass maybe to make abortion legal all nine months
in all fifty states. That's actually not where the country is.
So that's not going to work. Republicans won't go along
with that. So what is the big promise of a
Harris administration. It is she is a Democrat. She will
(16:36):
do what the machine wants. Pelosi and Schumer will effectively
be able to run things. Pelosi and Schumer will be
in a position to make big decisions. And I say
Pelosi and Schumer. You know whoever the biggest Democrat. People say, oh,
Pelosi is not the speaker anymore, and well, clearly we
(16:57):
have a Republican controlled House. But you get what I'm
saying that she's past her prime. Plus he certainly doesn't
think so politically past her prime. Politically, I'm I'm not
trying to have to you know, trying to have like
a Don Lemon moment there, But you know, she's she's
no longer going to be quite the same voice. She
was important in pushing Biden out the palace coup against Biden,
(17:19):
no question about that. But I just think that there
should be an instinctive revulsion against Kamala Harris's campaign based
upon the fact that the whole thing is a deception.
She is not telling the American people what she believes,
why she believes it, or what she would do. She's
(17:40):
saying whatever she thinks will fool enough people in the
Swing States to vote for her and this uh, this
jolly communist walls and hope that she gets away with it.
That's the whole game, including on the border, which we're
gonna talk about in a second. You know, the tunnel.
The Towers Foundation honors our nation's greatest heroes, their sacrifices,
(18:04):
and helps our nation to never forget. One of those
to honor is Mario Nelson, who respected and loved America.
Mario joined the National Guard after nine to eleven. He
volunteered to help with the recovery efforts at Ground Zero,
and later Mario and his wife had a daughter. Motivated
by his nine to eleven experience, he enlisted in the
US Army Sergeant Mario Nelson. Nelson later deployed to a
(18:24):
rock Just two months shy of coming home, he was
killed in action at the age of twenty six. Thanks
for the support of friends like you. The Tunnel the
Towers Foundation delivered a mortgage free home to Mario's wife
and daughter in their darkest hours. That home brought them stability,
peace of mind, and a place to call their own.
Let's continue to honor heroes like Mario. It's an incredible
(18:46):
organization and we're so honored to be working with Tunnel
the Towers Foundation. I donate every month. Please join me
donate eleven dollars a month The Tunnel the Towers at
T two t dot org. That's t the number two
t dot.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Org is the single biggest weakness of the Biden regime
and therefore Vice President Harris's tenure or her.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Piece of that overall high What is the one area
that if you were going to choose to attack for
failure that you would hone in on. There's a variety
of options here. I would say Biden was too crafty
(19:31):
to personally get caught up in the defund police stuff
the way that Kamala Harris was, and for me, the
one to two punch of walls as governor, allowing Minneapolis
to burn because the Biden base wanted to burn it.
They were unhappy Biden base is throwing a tantrum, so
(19:52):
got to let him burn down a whole neighborhood or
series of neighborhoods. That happened. But beyond that, you had
Kamala Harris raising money for the rioters, as you know,
which I would think is a pretty big deal. These
are two people for whom the national nightmare of months
(20:13):
of BLM rioting, anarchy and chaos on the streets was
a political opportunity and something that they were ideologically aligned with.
They thought that was a necessary purging of the American
soul in the name of racial justice or some such nonsense.
(20:36):
That alone should be sufficient grounds to reject the ticket
for anyone, particularly Minnesotans. And I know, if you're a
Minnesota and listening to this, you already you know, you're
already on the team. I get it. But maybe we
have a few independent voters, maybe have a few swing
voters in Minnesota. How could you see what they allowed
and encouraged and did nothing about afterwards during the BLM
(21:01):
riots in Minneapolis and see Walls and Harris's fingerprints on
this issue and not reject them. It honestly is to
me like a symptom of some kind of a disorder
for a person not to just view that. To live
in the state of Minnesota and have your your capital.
(21:22):
I know it's a Saint Paul, but Minneapolis, Saint Paul. Uh,
you know, to have your biggest city attacked in that
way and have these people asleep at the wheel while
it's happening, encouraging it in some ways, and do nothing
about it afterwards, and that you don't have the pride
as a as an American, as a Minnesota to reject
(21:44):
these clowns just based on that. It is It is
unfathomable to me. Unfathomable. But I know this is where
we are. I understand that's what they are likely to do.
They're going to just say, oh, you know, but a
woman's right to choose is so much more important. Just
say abortion. Just say abortion. It's the single most important.
(22:05):
I am a diet in the world democrat. I am
the Biden Harris Obama base voter, and the only thing
that matters to me as an American is abortion. Abortion, abortion,
nine months, all the time, taxpayer funded. And it's a
great thing. And I'm gonna wear T shirts talking about
all my abortions. I mean, I just wish the Democrats
would come forward and say that. I think they do,
but they just aren't as upfront about it, right, I
(22:27):
think that is what they believe, but I won't even
say it. I mean, can you imagine the central belief
of your political religious faith? But you can't describe it.
You have to sort of talk around it. Oh, it's
about a woman's right to think through the issue and
come to her own conclusion. Oh, it's about abortion. Cities
(22:47):
are burning, people can't pay their bills, people can't buy homes,
borders wide open, national security is a mess. Look what's
going on with you, whether it's Ukraine war or the
situation of Israel and the escalation from Iran and all
these things happening on Biden's watch. But for unfortunately a
lot of the Biden base, what matters abortion. That's it,
(23:10):
that's all. It's really a mental illness. I mean to
think that this is the only issue, it's the only issue,
but there are a lot of one issue voters on this,
meaning that they'll just go along with Kamala because of this.
It's a sad state of affairs for the country. But
it's true. But there's one weakness that we have not
addressed yet, and that, I think is where they know
(23:35):
that if you are particularly in that critical cohort of
the white male, non college educated working class guy, what
has happened with the Biden border and Kamala Harris, the
borders ours rolling. It is just a mess by any
(23:58):
stretch of the imagination, by any calculation, it is a disaster.
It is an embarrassment. Democrats, of course, secretly like it.
I'm not so secretly, but you know, behind closed words,
they're like, great, we're creating. We're deluting American culture and values,
deluting any respect for the Constitution, and promoting a lawlessness
(24:23):
that benefits us politically in the long term. That's how
Democrats view the border. They don't come out and say
it because again, so much of what Democrat politics and
policies are about is lying about what you want. To
get enough power through the lives, then you could ignore
the people who say, hold on a second, that's not
what you said you were going to do. It's the
whole game. Look at the Kamala Harris campaign right now.
(24:46):
I give you this advertisement for Kamala Harris portraying her.
Given what's gone on the let's call it ten million.
I think that's a decent st It's probably more, but
ten million illegals in four years who have come into
the country knowing that it's because Joe Biden is the president.
(25:07):
That's the whole reason behind this. Let's hear how the
Kamala campaign is positioning her on the issue of immigration.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Play for Kamala Harris has spent decades fighting violent crimes.
As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels
and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across
the border. As Vice President, she backed the toughest border
control bill in decades, and as president, she will hire
thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and
(25:36):
human trafficking.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris. Fixing
the border. Kamala Harris is running on fixing the border.
There's so much here. First of all, if you do
not radically increase deportations and immediate turnarounds, immediate expulsion from
(26:02):
the country for those who are in process of crossing illegally,
If you do not use the power that the White
House has under various executive authorities to just say this
is we're done with this. No more lying about asylum
to come into the country, no more lying about all
these processes. If you do not do that, nothing changes,
(26:22):
nothing changes. And that I think is something that the
Kamala Harris campaign is going to have a tough time with.
If we pointed out, if you can get enough people
to understand this, all this stuff about secure the board,
secure the board, it's like a right to choose. What
a secure the border mean to you? To Kamala Harris
when she was the borders are and last week we
(26:45):
played you that we have been to the border. When
she was talking to a lesser hold, lesser holts like, look, lady,
you haven't been to the border. You know what I mean? Like,
come on, you know what I mean, Like I got
a job here. I mean, I'm trying to help you.
But you know, we gotta play in reality Ville a
little bit right. And she said she went to the board.
She had you know what she had done. She went
to Central America to deal with root causes. How are
(27:08):
you going to deal with root causes by traveling to
Central America? First of all, that would require transforming those
economies so that they were in a position to give
massive welfare benefits similar to what Kamala Harris wants to
give illegals in this country. I'm pretty sure that's beyond
the skills of Kamala Harris. You know, I don't think
she's going to make Nicaragua or Guatemala as financially prosperous
(27:32):
and generous to its people as America is. So the
root causes thing was pretty funny on its face. The
whole thing was absurd. But you have people now crossing
into America illegally from one hundred and eighty countries, give
or take, all over the world, all over the world.
What do the Democrats not want to do. They don't
(27:55):
want to enforce the law. They don't want to enforce
the law against people who show up and lie to
get into the country. They don't want to enforce law
against people who don't show up to their first hearings
when they eventually, after years, are supposed to have their
asylum cases heard. They don't actually enforce the law. When
the asylum case is denied and they're supposed to be deported,
(28:15):
they just they let the whole thing collapse. They let
the entire thing collapse. But Kamala knows the swing states.
The two areas where she is the most vulnerable the
economy in the border. On the economy, she can get
away with what Democrats always get away with, which is
which is their socialist Santa Claus. Everything is going to
(28:38):
be free, the rich will pay for it, pay their
fair share. Everything will be free. You go, well, hold on,
that's not true. But you know that's what they'll say.
And the people who are struggling, I get it. You know,
you want a little bit of help, and someone's telling
you they're going to give you a little bit of help.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
You know, the.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Inclination is to think, well, maybe that's a good idea
for me, and so I'll give them my vote. The
problem is that Democrats aren't going to help. The problem
is with their regulations and their policies, whether it's on
energy or labor issues, or you name it, trade policy.
They're going to make everything more expensive for you. They're
going to make it harder for you, and they do
(29:17):
it all under the guise of making it easier for you.
So on the economy, they have an enormously challenging, an
enormously challenging case to make. But Kamala will make it
and maybe they're able to get away with even though
inflation is as high as it is and costs are
as high as they are. That's a possibility. But on
(29:40):
the border, I mean, I can just say this to
you as I have been saying it to you in
all honesty, we have the worst southern border in the
history of the United States when it comes to lawlessness,
fentomal pouring over killing. You over one hundred thousand a
(30:01):
year dying from overdose deaths, and of that fentanyl comprises
seventy to eighty percent of them. So yeah, and you
know there's more. There's so much fentanyl pouring into the country.
We didn't even talk about all the methamphetamine that's pouring
into the country too. Meth in recent years has also
reached an all time high. I don't know where it
is right now. I'd have to check, but during the
pandemic of you know, the pandemic years of the Biden administration,
(30:23):
the amount of meth out there actually exceeded what ever
come into the country before. Too. That's a disaster. The
point is, it's a total mess. It's the worst it
has ever been. This would be somebody who you know,
has has presided over the absolute implosion of a company
(30:43):
and the stock going down to almost zero, getting the
stock like delisted from the exchange, saying I am the
CEO for the future. I can fix it all. Well,
hold on, what have you done up to this point?
The border it is, it is inexcusable. But they're they're
lying so much. They're going to lie so much, and
I just wish, you know, we don't even have the people,
(31:07):
the little assistant commissars of the Kamala campaign in the media.
They don't even have to debate these issues publicly. They're
not going to get It's not just that Kamala doesn't
have to defend these things. They don't even pretend like
they're They're not gonna bring me on morning, Joe, even
though I am such a dedicated watcher. I mean, Joe,
(31:30):
I'm looking at you every morning doing your propaganda for
a little bit. There he is, he's got his cool
guy glasses on, he's got his hair swept back. Maybe
he's just come off the tennis courts in Nantucket, you
know what I mean. And you know I'm sitting there saying,
come on, Joe, let me on, let's talk about these
issues now. I will say. The problem with that is
(31:51):
they'll just the insurrection January sixth, Donald Trump, you know
that they would run the same script on that. They
always will, so they won't talk about any other issues.
But on the border. I gotta tell you, we cannot
let this one go. We cannot let this one go
because ultimately, if the Democrats get to a place where
they're able to find some way to do a backdoor amnesty,
(32:12):
which they people say, oh, they'll never have the votes,
they'll find a way to make it a de facto reality.
Look what they've done with the asylum. Asylum is supposed
to be for you know, maybe ten thousand people a
year or something. I mean, look at previous years, how
many assyl lees actually made it, It made it through the
process in this country. They used asylum as a crack
in the dam to let the whole thing explode on
(32:33):
the rest of the United States. You don't think they'll
find a way to backdoor amnesty. If they can, of
course they that's the whole plan. That's the whole plan.
Change the demographics of the country, change the country. As
long as they're in control, they don't care. That's where
we're heading. I think Trump can stop it, though I
think he can. You know, the most expensive home repairs
(32:55):
are offering the ones you don't see coming. Water damage
to your home from rain water, for instance, is and
that accumulates in clogged gutters. You got big trees in
your yard, your home is susceptible when a rain gutter
clogs up. You don't immediately see it happening, and that's
when the problems come about. There's a solution for that, though,

Keep up with Bucks campaign coverage with twenty four a
Sunday highlight reel from the week, Fight it on the
free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, welcome back into Clay and Buck. And we've got
Dan on Long Island, the Strong Islands place I've spent many, many,
many days of my life. Love it out there. What's
up Dan?
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Hey, Hey doing it? I'll be had a good week.
Good I was at a party last night, did a
dinner party, mix the people, Wall Street guys, city fireman.
I'm a retired cop, my wife works for a college
and role Republicans, some more than others. But the main
thing we all came down was we feel Trump is
(34:43):
going to lose if he continues this attack on personal
issues with Tom Raw. If he just stays with the facts,
stays with the border, stays with the economy, he's got
a shut. But there's a lot of people who were
wishy washy, and all they're going to see is Trump.
I think er for not being black enough or what
or whatever other issue, and the abortion and I think
(35:06):
those we also, those things are gonna hurt Trump.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
All right, Dan, first order of business. Next time you
got a great barbecue going like you just did, you
got to tell them I'll listen to Clay and Buck
show and they won't worry anymore. That's that's part one, Okay,
Part two. I hear what you're saying. I watched some
of the Olympics with my family and priticularly the racing.
I bring it up because one thing you see is
(35:30):
when you decide to kick and how much you have
left in the tank. That's the difference between glorious gold
and coming in fifth. Right, we have eighty some odd
days before the election. Trump is within the margin Evra
and all of these swing states, better than he's ever
been before. He doesn't want to kick now. It's all
(35:53):
about where he is when the votes start coming in.
I know we're on a truncated timeline, but there are
the team around him, the people running the campaign, the
war chest that he has. I'm telling you it's like
the runner who's gonna win the gold doesn't necessarily lead
the whole race. They want to be in second place,
maybe even in third place, and at the right moment.
(36:15):
Now they switch their runner. I know I'm belaboring the
analogy a little bit here, but they switched their runner
in the middle of the race. So okay, she's you know,
she's pulled out certainly ahead of where Biden was. But
Trump hasn't yet hit the after burner. Trump hasn't decided
it's time to kick and make it happen. So I
have faith. It's August. It's a slow media time. Tell
(36:37):
your buddies get back their beers. Freedom will survive. It'll
all be all right. Trump's gonna pull through and listen
to Clay and buckshow obviously all right, we got more
coming up here. In just a moment, we'll talk about
where Trump is on the messaging. Actually, let's dive into
that together. Trump stuff coming up.
Welcome in everybody. Monday edition of the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. I am solo
this week is you know, Clay taking a week of
much as their vacation, and fortunately today my voice is
pretty much back. I beat the coal with some help
from my Krocketcoffee of course, Crocketcoffee dot com. Please subscribe
(00:23):
get the best most America loving, freedom supporting coffee ever.
Plus ten percent of profits goes tunnel to towers, go
to Crocketcoffee dot Com and I use it to push
through a cold. So there you go. Gives you that
fiery uh well, fire in the belly. There you go.
I've got so much to dive into today. Polls from
(00:43):
over the weekend. I've got a lot of people that
are coming to me now. I guess some some folks
are a little week in the knees on the right,
they're a little you know, Oh my gosh, is Kamala
going to win? No, we don't roll with that here.
We're good. We're good. We stay focused, We stay from
the Trump is on it, and Trump is going to
(01:04):
come out the winner here. We just have to do
our part, we the voters and Trump the campaigner and
the people around him. If we execute the plan, we win.
That's how I see it. And so part of the
plan is trying to get as much of the truth
out there as possible, because the lies are coming fast
and furious. I have never seen so much condensed rewriting
(01:31):
of history as I have witnessed with the Kamala Harris
Tim Walls ticket. It is astonishing, it is. And yes,
I saw the polls over the weekend that they basically
have Kamala within the margin of error, but up in
a whole bunch of swing states. Now, Trump is still
in a better position going into a presidential election than
(01:55):
he's ever been in before. And he's in a better
position than he was in twenty twenty when he was
in a razor tight, finished with razor thin finish with
Joe Biden, and better than he was in twenty sixteen
when he trounced Hillary Clinton. So keep that in mind here,
all right. I know that there's whiplash. I know there's
(02:17):
a feeling of oh my gosh, it's all shifted on us.
So quickly, just we take a beat. We don't get
caught up in the emotions of the moment. We leave
the mob emotions to the Democrats, you know, to the collectivist.
So they're like, oh my gosh, what did that person say.
I'm going to say the same thing. Let's all just shout.
Let's shout the brainless slogan together, the bleating of the
(02:39):
sheep for those of you who are or well well
nineteen eighty four, but also animal farm is what I
was referencing, orwell fans. This though, is a particularly brazen
moment in the campaign for the presidency from Kamala and
I have to start with this. She was campaigning, and
(03:00):
she was in Nevada, and that's obviously an important state.
It is a swing state. I think Trump's still looking
good there no matter who you talk to, but they're
trying to make in roads the Democrat side of things,
and Kamala Harris all of a sudden just works this
into her her routine. Up there with the prompter is
guiding her through this is cut one play it and.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Is she doing a Trump impression? Like I would prefer
it if Kamala got.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Up there, she was like, probably the best thing we
could do would be borrowing from Donald himself including the
voice and say, big, beautiful removal of taxes on tips.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We love it. It's gonna be great. I would have
preferred that. I would prefer a full on impersonation to
what we got there. I mean, you heard that, you
know what, team play it one more time, just soever
we could hear this is Kamala's new big idea.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
And eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Right, the thing that Donald Trump has been saying, and
that Democrats just because they whatever Trump likes, they must oppose,
at least in the moment. Democrats have spent time saying
he's going to blow up the debt with that, and
we're going to have so much, the deficit's going to
be huge, and these all this stuff. And I suppose
now they're going to change change this around CNBC headline,
(04:33):
I mean Axios actually gets this more more accurately. I
think Harris copies Trump's promise on no tax for tips. Yes,
she copied it. This is a straight up plagiarism. This
is a ooh, that's a good idea. I'm going to
do that too, which is amazing because hold on a second,
(04:55):
I thought Donald Trump was horrible. I thought Donald Trump
was a threat to the republic. The new savior of
the Democrats, Kamala Harris, the savior of the Democrat Party,
is just taking the newest and most compelling idea from
Donald Trump as to what he would do. And you're
supposed to not notice this or not not pay attention
(05:18):
to it. I love CNBC's headline here Harris matches trump
proposal to ban taxes on tips at Las Vegas rally.
I mean, yeah, she matched it, That's one way of
saying it. She lifted it. This is telling you actually
a lot more than the Democrats want you to pick up.
(05:38):
But one is Kamala has no ideas. She stands for
whatever the Democrat machine tells her to. And in that
sense she's formidable. You know that means I have a
lack of intellectual respect for her, yes, because I don't
think she has any particular ideas of her own. But
she is a She is a good comrade. She is
(05:58):
an apparat chick, a cog in the wheel of the apparatus,
and even at the very top, she will do what
the party wants, which I will point out so same
thing with Joe Biden. Joe Biden broke with Democrats as
president on nothing on nothing, and the left wing of
the Democrat Party which now is the Democrat Party, or
(06:21):
rather runs it. You know, in a few places they play,
Oh I'm I'm like a Midwestern duck hunting Democrat. Oh yeah, sure,
you're seeing that with Tim Walls, which, oh, don't worry,
we'll get to that a little bit. But stealing the
no tax on tips things, it's so brazen you almost
have to respect. You're like, wow, wow, they're just gonna
(06:44):
do that. And the big hope is that they can
get through the days ahead less than three months. They
can get through the days ahead of this election, get
into early voting hiding who Kamala Harris really is and
what her record really is from the American people. That's obvious.
I mean, this is basement campaign two point zero. This
(07:05):
is not technically in a basement, but incredibly stage managed
a campaign that is being built in a lab by
consultants for the Democrats, for the Obama brain trust to
come together and decide what the Harris campaign shall actually
(07:30):
say out loud via the teleprompters, via the scripted moments.
They'll say anything to protect this I would note. Now
they'll even go to the lengths of maybe Kamala Harris
doesn't even Why do we even have to I was
seeing this over the weekend. Why does she even have
to talk to the press. Why does it even matter
if she does an interview. Yes, the person who wants
(07:52):
the job to represent three hundred and forty million Americans. However,
many tens of millions of illegals are here. The person
who wants that job and the nuclear codes and the
most authority and power of any position in the entire world.
Why should the American people who are supposed to vote
for that person really know anything about that person. This
(08:13):
is the media doing what it does. You know, I
know the Olympics are over, but if being a contortionist
was an Olympic event. The journals running cover for Kamala
the contortions they are engaged in oof remarkable stuff. Anything
that anything that will help or it doesn't make any difference.
Any lies they have to tell, they will go all
(08:36):
in on them. And I just sit here and in
some sense and I expect it, but it's still it's
still astonishing. Rights It's almost like I'm waiting for a
solar eclipse. Or something to happen. You know, you know
it's coming, but when you see it, you go, WHOA,
that's pretty interesting. And that's how I feel about all
the things they're doing with this Kamala campaign right now.
(08:58):
I will say I would like to have more of
a I would like to see more dominance of the
news cycle by Trump. I know that's hard because they
they normally would be talking about Trump to tear him down,
but that now the Democrat apparatus is crowding out the
(09:20):
anti trump ism for the time being with the fabrication,
the manufacturing of the Kamala narrative. Right, and as I've
told you, I got two guy, it's funny. One of
I think it was my little sister Saul. She's like,
who's Kamala Harris? She was visiting us the weekend. She goes,
who's Kamala Harris autobiography is this? I was like, well,
(09:42):
that belongs to me. I'll have you know. It's quite
a page, Sarner. It's actually not at all. It's incredibly boring,
But you know, I gotta know, I gotta know what's
going on. I want to understand who this person is,
or rather scratch that I've got to understand who the
person is that they want you to believe. Kamala Harris's right,
(10:06):
What is their presentation? What is the way they have
molded the narrative of her life and her success and
what she stands for? This is very important. We'll call
also in the Obama years, Obama had two autobiographies when
she didn't write, but put that aside, and if you
wanted to really understand how they created the mythology of
(10:28):
obama Ism, you had to read those right. So I
feel the same way about Kamala Harris. So I want
to understand what they're trying to present. They have a
weak product. They know they have a weak product. So
now the question becomes how much can they get away with?
How much are they able to foist on the American
(10:49):
people in terms of falsehood without backlash? And that I
think is going to be something that we have to
put pressure on we have. This is where confronting the lies.
I know it can feel like a fool's errand I
know it can feel like there's so many of them buck,
how can we ever swap them all down? Well, that's
(11:16):
the task ahead of us. We'll take some of your
calls here eight hundred two eight two two eight a
two kamala on the border, by the way, perhaps the
biggest lie of all. We're going to get to that
here shortly. You know, this month is a busy one
for me. I'm excited to start publishing a weekly e newsletter.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
The world has gone insane. We claim your sanity with
Clay and Fund find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I believe that Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is.
But I believe importantly that President Trump is right that
she's a chameleon. She pretends to be one thing in
front of one audience, she pretends to be something different
in front of another audience. She's not running a political campaign,
she's running a movie. She only speaks to voters behind
a teleprompter. Everything is scripted. She doesn't have her policy
(12:52):
positions out there. She hasn't answered why she wanted to
band fracking, but now she doesn't. She wanted to fund police,
but now she does. She wanted to open the border,
but now she doesn't. She should have to answer for
why she presents a different set of policies to one
audience and a different set of policies to another audience.
And I think that's what President Trump is getting at.
This is a fundamentally fake person. She's different depending on
(13:13):
who she's in front of.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I think the description of Kamala's politics as chameleon like
is very apt. I think that's when we should we
should borrow. I feeling Trump has a nickname for both
of these individuals that we'll be hearing soon enough. But
this is exactly what she's done. She has tried to
(13:38):
tell everybody that everything that she used to believe a
few years ago, not as like college freshman a few
years ago when she was trying to be president the
first time. She doesn't believe some of the most important
and controversial positions that she took then. But what does
she believe now? Essentially, the people around her a, the media,
(14:01):
and the campaign are presenting this as all the things
that you think you can hit Kamala on that are
unpopular in a general election are off the table because
we say so, or rather because we say that she
said so, and that's the end of the story. Well,
hold on, why what made her change your mind? And
(14:24):
what is her position now? They're just looking to avoid
the negative hit and hoping that there can be the
smoke screen of media complicity that keeps her from being exposed.
Isn't this an amazing thing? It's the second time now
the Democrats have been running this kind of a playbook.
(14:47):
They did it with Joe Biden and now they're doing
it with Kamala Harris. They only can win by making
sure you don't really know what this person will do
when they become president, and by lying about what this
person believes now so they can become president. The whole
thing is a deception.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
They could say whatever they want about Trump, and they have.
We all know that Trump has certain things that he
believes in. Trump has ideas that he has pursued. Trump. Yes,
we talk about the great economy, we talk about trade
Donald Trump. And I will never forget this because the
people that I knew in DC who were actual trade experts,
(15:28):
trade policy nerds, they were the only ones, and in
only a few cases, who were saying Trump's right, you
got to renegotiate NAFTA, you got to take a different
approach to China. So some of those ideas not only
was Trump successful in pursuing, but he went against his
own party. Because that's leadership. What's the big Kamala Harris
(15:52):
idea other than she's a black female Democrat, vote for
her and not Trump. What is the big Kamala Harris
notion that she's going to support women in blue states
can have it? You know, there the states that are
Democrat controlled, abortion is as, if not more extreme than
(16:13):
it was under the Row regime. So what exactly is
she offering. She wants to try to get a federal
law pass maybe to make abortion legal all nine months
in all fifty states. That's actually not where the country is.
So that's not going to work. Republicans won't go along
with that. So what is the big promise of a
Harris administration. It is she is a Democrat. She will
(16:36):
do what the machine wants. Pelosi and Schumer will effectively
be able to run things. Pelosi and Schumer will be
in a position to make big decisions. And I say
Pelosi and Schumer. You know whoever the biggest Democrat. People say, oh,
Pelosi is not the speaker anymore, and well, clearly we
(16:57):
have a Republican controlled House. But you get what I'm
saying that she's past her prime. Plus he certainly doesn't
think so politically past her prime. Politically, I'm I'm not
trying to have to you know, trying to have like
a Don Lemon moment there, But you know, she's she's
no longer going to be quite the same voice. She
was important in pushing Biden out the palace coup against Biden,
(17:19):
no question about that. But I just think that there
should be an instinctive revulsion against Kamala Harris's campaign based
upon the fact that the whole thing is a deception.
She is not telling the American people what she believes,
why she believes it, or what she would do. She's
(17:40):
saying whatever she thinks will fool enough people in the
Swing States to vote for her and this uh, this
jolly communist walls and hope that she gets away with it.
That's the whole game, including on the border, which we're
gonna talk about in a second. You know, the tunnel.
The Towers Foundation honors our nation's greatest heroes, their sacrifices,
(18:04):
and helps our nation to never forget. One of those
to honor is Mario Nelson, who respected and loved America.
Mario joined the National Guard after nine to eleven. He
volunteered to help with the recovery efforts at Ground Zero,
and later Mario and his wife had a daughter. Motivated
by his nine to eleven experience, he enlisted in the
US Army Sergeant Mario Nelson. Nelson later deployed to a
(18:24):
rock Just two months shy of coming home, he was
killed in action at the age of twenty six. Thanks
for the support of friends like you. The Tunnel the
Towers Foundation delivered a mortgage free home to Mario's wife
and daughter in their darkest hours. That home brought them stability,
peace of mind, and a place to call their own.
Let's continue to honor heroes like Mario. It's an incredible
(18:46):
organization and we're so honored to be working with Tunnel
the Towers Foundation. I donate every month. Please join me
donate eleven dollars a month The Tunnel the Towers at
T two t dot org. That's t the number two
t dot.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Org is the single biggest weakness of the Biden regime
and therefore Vice President Harris's tenure or her.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Piece of that overall high What is the one area
that if you were going to choose to attack for
failure that you would hone in on. There's a variety
of options here. I would say Biden was too crafty
(19:31):
to personally get caught up in the defund police stuff
the way that Kamala Harris was, and for me, the
one to two punch of walls as governor, allowing Minneapolis
to burn because the Biden base wanted to burn it.
They were unhappy Biden base is throwing a tantrum, so
(19:52):
got to let him burn down a whole neighborhood or
series of neighborhoods. That happened. But beyond that, you had
Kamala Harris raising money for the rioters, as you know,
which I would think is a pretty big deal. These
are two people for whom the national nightmare of months
(20:13):
of BLM rioting, anarchy and chaos on the streets was
a political opportunity and something that they were ideologically aligned with.
They thought that was a necessary purging of the American
soul in the name of racial justice or some such nonsense.
(20:36):
That alone should be sufficient grounds to reject the ticket
for anyone, particularly Minnesotans. And I know, if you're a
Minnesota and listening to this, you already you know, you're
already on the team. I get it. But maybe we
have a few independent voters, maybe have a few swing
voters in Minnesota. How could you see what they allowed
and encouraged and did nothing about afterwards during the BLM
(21:01):
riots in Minneapolis and see Walls and Harris's fingerprints on
this issue and not reject them. It honestly is to
me like a symptom of some kind of a disorder
for a person not to just view that. To live
in the state of Minnesota and have your your capital.
(21:22):
I know it's a Saint Paul, but Minneapolis, Saint Paul. Uh,
you know, to have your biggest city attacked in that
way and have these people asleep at the wheel while
it's happening, encouraging it in some ways, and do nothing
about it afterwards, and that you don't have the pride
as a as an American, as a Minnesota to reject
(21:44):
these clowns just based on that. It is It is
unfathomable to me. Unfathomable. But I know this is where
we are. I understand that's what they are likely to do.
They're going to just say, oh, you know, but a
woman's right to choose is so much more important. Just
say abortion. Just say abortion. It's the single most important.
(22:05):
I am a diet in the world democrat. I am
the Biden Harris Obama base voter, and the only thing
that matters to me as an American is abortion. Abortion, abortion,
nine months, all the time, taxpayer funded. And it's a
great thing. And I'm gonna wear T shirts talking about
all my abortions. I mean, I just wish the Democrats
would come forward and say that. I think they do,
but they just aren't as upfront about it, right, I
(22:27):
think that is what they believe, but I won't even
say it. I mean, can you imagine the central belief
of your political religious faith? But you can't describe it.
You have to sort of talk around it. Oh, it's
about a woman's right to think through the issue and
come to her own conclusion. Oh, it's about abortion. Cities
(22:47):
are burning, people can't pay their bills, people can't buy homes,
borders wide open, national security is a mess. Look what's
going on with you, whether it's Ukraine war or the
situation of Israel and the escalation from Iran and all
these things happening on Biden's watch. But for unfortunately a
lot of the Biden base, what matters abortion. That's it,
(23:10):
that's all. It's really a mental illness. I mean to
think that this is the only issue, it's the only issue,
but there are a lot of one issue voters on this,
meaning that they'll just go along with Kamala because of this.
It's a sad state of affairs for the country. But
it's true. But there's one weakness that we have not
addressed yet, and that, I think is where they know
(23:35):
that if you are particularly in that critical cohort of
the white male, non college educated working class guy, what
has happened with the Biden border and Kamala Harris, the
borders ours rolling. It is just a mess by any
(23:58):
stretch of the imagination, by any calculation, it is a disaster.
It is an embarrassment. Democrats, of course, secretly like it.
I'm not so secretly, but you know, behind closed words,
they're like, great, we're creating. We're deluting American culture and values,
deluting any respect for the Constitution, and promoting a lawlessness
(24:23):
that benefits us politically in the long term. That's how
Democrats view the border. They don't come out and say
it because again, so much of what Democrat politics and
policies are about is lying about what you want. To
get enough power through the lives, then you could ignore
the people who say, hold on a second, that's not
what you said you were going to do. It's the
whole game. Look at the Kamala Harris campaign right now.
(24:46):
I give you this advertisement for Kamala Harris portraying her.
Given what's gone on the let's call it ten million.
I think that's a decent st It's probably more, but
ten million illegals in four years who have come into
the country knowing that it's because Joe Biden is the president.
(25:07):
That's the whole reason behind this. Let's hear how the
Kamala campaign is positioning her on the issue of immigration.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Play for Kamala Harris has spent decades fighting violent crimes.
As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels
and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across
the border. As Vice President, she backed the toughest border
control bill in decades, and as president, she will hire
thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and
(25:36):
human trafficking.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris. Fixing
the border. Kamala Harris is running on fixing the border.
There's so much here. First of all, if you do
not radically increase deportations and immediate turnarounds, immediate expulsion from
(26:02):
the country for those who are in process of crossing illegally,
If you do not use the power that the White
House has under various executive authorities to just say this
is we're done with this. No more lying about asylum
to come into the country, no more lying about all
these processes. If you do not do that, nothing changes,
(26:22):
nothing changes. And that I think is something that the
Kamala Harris campaign is going to have a tough time with.
If we pointed out, if you can get enough people
to understand this, all this stuff about secure the board,
secure the board, it's like a right to choose. What
a secure the border mean to you? To Kamala Harris
when she was the borders are and last week we
(26:45):
played you that we have been to the border. When
she was talking to a lesser hold, lesser holts like, look, lady,
you haven't been to the border. You know what I mean? Like,
come on, you know what I mean, Like I got
a job here. I mean, I'm trying to help you.
But you know, we gotta play in reality Ville a
little bit right. And she said she went to the board.
She had you know what she had done. She went
to Central America to deal with root causes. How are
(27:08):
you going to deal with root causes by traveling to
Central America? First of all, that would require transforming those
economies so that they were in a position to give
massive welfare benefits similar to what Kamala Harris wants to
give illegals in this country. I'm pretty sure that's beyond
the skills of Kamala Harris. You know, I don't think
she's going to make Nicaragua or Guatemala as financially prosperous
(27:32):
and generous to its people as America is. So the
root causes thing was pretty funny on its face. The
whole thing was absurd. But you have people now crossing
into America illegally from one hundred and eighty countries, give
or take, all over the world, all over the world.
What do the Democrats not want to do. They don't
(27:55):
want to enforce the law. They don't want to enforce
the law against people who show up and lie to
get into the country. They don't want to enforce law
against people who don't show up to their first hearings
when they eventually, after years, are supposed to have their
asylum cases heard. They don't actually enforce the law. When
the asylum case is denied and they're supposed to be deported,
(28:15):
they just they let the whole thing collapse. They let
the entire thing collapse. But Kamala knows the swing states.
The two areas where she is the most vulnerable the
economy in the border. On the economy, she can get
away with what Democrats always get away with, which is
which is their socialist Santa Claus. Everything is going to
(28:38):
be free, the rich will pay for it, pay their
fair share. Everything will be free. You go, well, hold on,
that's not true. But you know that's what they'll say.
And the people who are struggling, I get it. You know,
you want a little bit of help, and someone's telling
you they're going to give you a little bit of help.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
You know, the.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Inclination is to think, well, maybe that's a good idea
for me, and so I'll give them my vote. The
problem is that Democrats aren't going to help. The problem
is with their regulations and their policies, whether it's on
energy or labor issues, or you name it, trade policy.
They're going to make everything more expensive for you. They're
going to make it harder for you, and they do
(29:17):
it all under the guise of making it easier for you.
So on the economy, they have an enormously challenging, an
enormously challenging case to make. But Kamala will make it
and maybe they're able to get away with even though
inflation is as high as it is and costs are
as high as they are. That's a possibility. But on
(29:40):
the border, I mean, I can just say this to
you as I have been saying it to you in
all honesty, we have the worst southern border in the
history of the United States when it comes to lawlessness,
fentomal pouring over killing. You over one hundred thousand a
(30:01):
year dying from overdose deaths, and of that fentanyl comprises
seventy to eighty percent of them. So yeah, and you
know there's more. There's so much fentanyl pouring into the country.
We didn't even talk about all the methamphetamine that's pouring
into the country too. Meth in recent years has also
reached an all time high. I don't know where it
is right now. I'd have to check, but during the
pandemic of you know, the pandemic years of the Biden administration,
(30:23):
the amount of meth out there actually exceeded what ever
come into the country before. Too. That's a disaster. The
point is, it's a total mess. It's the worst it
has ever been. This would be somebody who you know,
has has presided over the absolute implosion of a company
(30:43):
and the stock going down to almost zero, getting the
stock like delisted from the exchange, saying I am the
CEO for the future. I can fix it all. Well,
hold on, what have you done up to this point?
The border it is, it is inexcusable. But they're they're
lying so much. They're going to lie so much, and
I just wish, you know, we don't even have the people,
(31:07):
the little assistant commissars of the Kamala campaign in the media.
They don't even have to debate these issues publicly. They're
not going to get It's not just that Kamala doesn't
have to defend these things. They don't even pretend like
they're They're not gonna bring me on morning, Joe, even
though I am such a dedicated watcher. I mean, Joe,
(31:30):
I'm looking at you every morning doing your propaganda for
a little bit. There he is, he's got his cool
guy glasses on, he's got his hair swept back. Maybe
he's just come off the tennis courts in Nantucket, you
know what I mean. And you know I'm sitting there saying,
come on, Joe, let me on, let's talk about these
issues now. I will say. The problem with that is
(31:51):
they'll just the insurrection January sixth, Donald Trump, you know
that they would run the same script on that. They
always will, so they won't talk about any other issues.
But on the border. I gotta tell you, we cannot
let this one go. We cannot let this one go
because ultimately, if the Democrats get to a place where
they're able to find some way to do a backdoor amnesty,
(32:12):
which they people say, oh, they'll never have the votes,
they'll find a way to make it a de facto reality.
Look what they've done with the asylum. Asylum is supposed
to be for you know, maybe ten thousand people a
year or something. I mean, look at previous years, how
many assyl lees actually made it, It made it through the
process in this country. They used asylum as a crack
in the dam to let the whole thing explode on
(32:33):
the rest of the United States. You don't think they'll
find a way to backdoor amnesty. If they can, of
course they that's the whole plan. That's the whole plan.
Change the demographics of the country, change the country. As
long as they're in control, they don't care. That's where
we're heading. I think Trump can stop it, though I
think he can. You know, the most expensive home repairs
(32:55):
are offering the ones you don't see coming. Water damage
to your home from rain water, for instance, is and
that accumulates in clogged gutters. You got big trees in
your yard, your home is susceptible when a rain gutter
clogs up. You don't immediately see it happening, and that's
when the problems come about. There's a solution for that, though,

Keep up with Bucks campaign coverage with twenty four a
Sunday highlight reel from the week, Fight it on the
free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, welcome back into Clay and Buck. And we've got
Dan on Long Island, the Strong Islands place I've spent many, many,
many days of my life. Love it out there. What's
up Dan?
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Hey, Hey doing it? I'll be had a good week.
Good I was at a party last night, did a
dinner party, mix the people, Wall Street guys, city fireman.
I'm a retired cop, my wife works for a college
and role Republicans, some more than others. But the main
thing we all came down was we feel Trump is
(34:43):
going to lose if he continues this attack on personal
issues with Tom Raw. If he just stays with the facts,
stays with the border, stays with the economy, he's got
a shut. But there's a lot of people who were
wishy washy, and all they're going to see is Trump.
I think er for not being black enough or what
or whatever other issue, and the abortion and I think
(35:06):
those we also, those things are gonna hurt Trump.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
All right, Dan, first order of business. Next time you
got a great barbecue going like you just did, you
got to tell them I'll listen to Clay and Buck
show and they won't worry anymore. That's that's part one, Okay,
Part two. I hear what you're saying. I watched some
of the Olympics with my family and priticularly the racing.
I bring it up because one thing you see is
(35:30):
when you decide to kick and how much you have
left in the tank. That's the difference between glorious gold
and coming in fifth. Right, we have eighty some odd
days before the election. Trump is within the margin Evra
and all of these swing states, better than he's ever
been before. He doesn't want to kick now. It's all
(35:53):
about where he is when the votes start coming in.
I know we're on a truncated timeline, but there are
the team around him, the people running the campaign, the
war chest that he has. I'm telling you it's like
the runner who's gonna win the gold doesn't necessarily lead
the whole race. They want to be in second place,
maybe even in third place, and at the right moment.
(36:15):
Now they switch their runner. I know I'm belaboring the
analogy a little bit here, but they switched their runner
in the middle of the race. So okay, she's you know,
she's pulled out certainly ahead of where Biden was. But
Trump hasn't yet hit the after burner. Trump hasn't decided
it's time to kick and make it happen. So I
have faith. It's August. It's a slow media time. Tell
(36:37):
your buddies get back their beers. Freedom will survive. It'll
all be all right. Trump's gonna pull through and listen
to Clay and buckshow obviously all right, we got more
coming up here. In just a moment, we'll talk about
where Trump is on the messaging. Actually, let's dive into
that together. Trump stuff coming up.
