Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. We have got
a barn burner of a show, and I feel like
we're going to have a lot of barn burners of
shows as we sit here sixty two days from the
official election. But what's wild is within about ten days
(00:24):
or so, many of you are going to be able
to start to vote because we no longer have Election Day,
we have election season. And that means whatever is locked
in in the public consciousness beginning in about ten days
is going to be reflected in the vote tallies. And Buck,
as I sit here today with you in Washington, DC,
(00:47):
you are in Miami. But I walked past the White
House this morning en route to go speak on the
campus of George Washington University. I took a picture of
the White House and I said, sixty two days until
Trump is re elected president of the United States. And
as all the stories are coming out, as poll data
(01:09):
continues to arrive, it seems to me clear that there
is starting to be a bit of a panic setting
in in the Kamala Harris campaign. And what do I
mean that looks like? Well in the last hour, CNN
has said that Russia is trying to influence the twenty
twenty four election campaign. This is a major breaking news
(01:33):
from Jim Acosta, and many of you out there are
laughing at the idea. This to me is emblematic of
the challenge that Kamala Harris faces right now. She has
to convince people that after four years of disaster with
Joe Biden, after she has failed on the economy, after
(01:54):
she has failed on the border, and after she has
failed on crime, that Donald Trump, who is aside from COVID,
almost everyone out there, was doing far better in January
and February of twenty twenty than they have ever done.
Mortgage rates were down incredibly low, Inflation was almost nonexistent,
your wages were growing faster than the cost of goods.
(02:16):
That all flipped economy, border crime, and they're now trying
to play the greatest Trump is Evil hits and they
just aren't registering with the general electorate because people have
gotten smarter, and they also recognize in a major way
that this is the boy who cried Wolf's scenario. And
(02:39):
I think that that's the problem. They can't redefine Donald Trump.
Everybody's made up their minds and Kamala buck to me.
The more I watched, I went after we finished the
show yesterday, I went back and I watched and I
went on with Tim cast Timpoole. I had a good
discussion with him last night. The audio of Kamala and
the video of Kamala in Detroit and Pittsburgh yesterday, where
(03:03):
she was clearly trying to talk differently to different audiences.
The more time people spend with Kamala, the less they
like her. That was true of Democrats in the twenty
twenty presidential election when she dropped out before a single
vote has been cast. And I think the sugar high
of August has given way to a rapidly collapsing poll
(03:25):
data in September. I give you credit because you said
when there was nearly the peak about two weeks ago,
that this was not going to last. I got nervous.
I think there is a panic setting in in the
Kamala Harris campaign. The Kamala catastrophe is coming everybody. I'm
not sure if it'll be on debate night or just
(03:47):
election night. But she's an awful candidate. What we really
see here and I understand you know on the one hand,
I want everyone motivated, fired up, keep the faith, stay focused.
I also don't want anyone to think, oh, well, we're
taking any immigrant, and of course not. She's I mean,
Trump is up against the Democrat machine. The real question
(04:10):
here isn't can Trump beat Kamala Harris. It's ken Trump
beat the current incarnation of the Democrat apparatus with all
of its media assistants and and you know Phony five
oh one, Seed three's pushing stuff and and everything that
they've got, right, I can't name it all, but the
entire apparatus of the Democrat Party is launched against Trump,
(04:32):
including using the DOJ, and partisans and Prosecutor's office everything, right,
Can Trump beat that? Kamala Harris is effectively generic Democrat.
She's a stand in for you could have had any
number of other Democrats. You can't actually have an exposed
dementia patient. Okay, we saw that with Biden. That was
the decision they made. If they hadn't debated, it would
(04:54):
have been fine. I actually just made the reservation for
Clay's steak, so you know I carry sex. Then that
really kind of a shot across the bow buck that
would send the invite right as we're beginning the show today.
Thank you Carrie for this fabulous steak dinner that is
now set in place in Miami on September twenty First,
I'm a man who pays his debts, but I would
(05:15):
have been enjoying a stake on play if it were,
you know, on his tab, if it were not the
case that Biden had to debate it, if if Biden
had avoided that debate. So here's here's where I see
it with Kamala Clay. We're gonna watch them continue to
play defense the Russia collusion thing that CNN has an
(05:38):
I'm sorry, Russia interference right, technically they haven't accused from funding,
but it's coming. It's coming. The Russia wants Trump to
win the election is a desperation thing. But I can
understand why they go for it, given the fact that
Kamala is a horrible candidate, that Kamala is a uniquely
awful Democrat actually so in a sense, I don't even
(06:01):
know if it's fair to say she's generic Democrat or
you know, she's sort of Democrats stand in for whatever
the party is. I think they could have had better options.
I'm not even sure when all said and done, people
won't realize that Joe Biden wasn't a better option. But
I also see that there's the chance that the Democrat
apparatus is so strong, it's so powerful at this point,
(06:24):
and that the Republicans have not met to counter them properly,
that Trump could in fact lose. I don't believe that
will happen, but I know it is a possibility that
that could happen. There's nothing about Kamala Harris that is
going to improve in the days and weeks ahead. In fact,
with familiarity comes concern from the Democrats, and that's what
(06:44):
we've seen start to happen here. Clay. I agree with you.
I don't think the debate is going to be a
knockout punch for either side. And that's almost always the
case with debates. You have to say almost always, because
for Biden it was right, and so it is the
case that a debate can end a presidential career. But
you know it's only when one side is so mendacious
that they put a dementia pation forward and say, no,
(07:05):
he's fine, but Kamala Harris is not going to be
winning over voters. They're just she's hoping that the Democrat
turnout machine is just going to be able to get
the votes going. You know, there's so much about her
that you could criticize. One of the things they're trying
(07:26):
to do. I think is honestly just so a lot
of confusion. We end up chasing down what is Commalis's
position on any particular issue right now. It's tough to
say because there's what she has said, there's what she
has stood for for four years of Biden, and then
there's her running against the Biden Harris record in essence
by saying, you know, we're about to do all of
(07:48):
the following. You know, when I was watched this Morning Clay,
Morning Joe, oh, your body was going on. You know
what's going on over there. I know I'm like their
most dedicated viewer. Now because they live in a parallel universe,
you have to understand the talking points of Morning Joe
or else you can't see how can anyone believe this garbage? Like,
how can anyone think that this is reality? They were
talking about the border and it's just so funny, you
(08:10):
know what they're going with now?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Ugh, The border has just been such a focus of Biden,
and it's just this challenge that came up, and he's
done so much work against the issue of our lawless border.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And if only Republicans had gone along with that bill.
I mean, you have to be a moron to believe, yes,
that in the final year of his presidency he decides
to put forward some bill that has no prayer of
going forward, and he takes the border seriously. By the way,
That's Kamala's whole thing too, now, is that the Biden
border bill is what she would have gone for, and
she wanted to fix the problem. They lit the house
(08:44):
on fire and then as it was going down to
the embers clay, they look at the fire department they're like,
you guys, didn't do anything here. This is also emblematic
for what they're trying to do with Kamala, not just
on the border electric vehicle mandate. Did you see their requesting, Hey,
does this mean that you're now against the bill that
you co sponsored. They can't get an answer the fracking thing,
(09:09):
even Dana Bash on CNN had to follow up with
and we can't really get an answer on that. And
Buck I saw this morning. They're trying to figure out Hey, Kamala,
you've previously said that you believe in reparations for slavery?
Do you still believe in reparations for slavery? And they
can't get an answer from the Kamala Harris campaign on
(09:31):
that either. So it's not only that she's not giving answers,
it's that she's actually given answers on diametrically opposed sides
of many of the issues that you guys care about
the most. And I'll point this out to Buck right now,
Kamala is in New Hampshire. Pay attention to the states
(09:51):
that she is campaigning in. The she's not trying to flip.
Other than North Carolina. There is no state that Trump
won in in twenty twenty that he's having to play
defense in. Kamala is sprinting around to seven or eight
different states that Joe Biden won in twenty twenty that
she is trying to preserve, and Trump has so many
(10:15):
different pathways to be able to win this race. Just
pay attention to where she goes. The fact that she's
in New Hampshire today is not a good sign. If
they feel like they need to go to New Hampshire
a state crew, correct me if I'm wrong. I believe
Biden won New Hampshire by seven points in twenty twenty.
(10:36):
The fact that they need to defend the ground of
New Hampshire means she's not polling very well in New Hampshire.
This morning on Morning Joe again, guys, you don't understand.
It's like I am wandering around the enemy camp for
all of you and listening to their colonels and their
lieutenants and you know, their diversity advisors, listening to their plans. Okay,
(10:59):
I'm listening to what and you know what they were doing,
Clay is they're having to get the audience ready for Oh,
this is going to be a really tight election. A
few weeks ago, it was look at Kama's lead. She's
up so much in the swing states. Right, there was
that moment of oh, new candidate, so exciting, first date
with Kamala for America, although not really because she's been
(11:19):
vice president for four years. What's going on here? Everyone?
You know, they look at the Hillary numbers going into
Labor Day. They talk about this on Morning Joe. Hillary
numbers going into Labor Day, Biden numbers going into Labor Day,
and current Kamala numbers going into Labor Day and guess
what if that trend holds, Donald Trump is winning this election. Yes,
(11:42):
that's really you know, they had to whisper this. They
had to sort of get it early in the show
so that people don't but they have to put it
out there because they recognize there is no chance Kamala
Harris flips any red state, any meaningful in red state
and in the battlegrounds. They're just hoping she can and
eke it out and really that the Democrat machine can
eat it out. That's the whole plan. And to your point,
(12:05):
the point I was just making, thanks for the crew
looking this up. In New Hampshire, Biden fifty two point
seven percent, Trump forty five point four. You know what's
fascinating about New Hampshire as well, Buck, You can only
vote in person on election day. Do you know that
that's one of the few states in America where there
is no I believe I'm correct on this, There is
(12:27):
no absentee, there's no early voting. You have to show
up in person with your ID in your hand and
vote on election day in New Hampshire. So that is
one of if you're going to point to a state
and say Hey, how confident are you in the outcome here?
New Hampshire is one of the most reliable out there.
Biden won by seven points in twenty twenty. If Biden
(12:50):
won by seven in New Hampshire and Kamala Harris coming
out of Labor Day is in New Hampshire right now campaigning,
that has to mean that her internal polling in New
Hampshire has this as a margin of error state, because
otherwise you would be going somewhere else. Again, pay attention
to where they go. It often will tell you what
(13:13):
they see internally about this election. And they see weakness
for Kamala in Pennsylvania, and they know if she doesn't
win Pennsylvania, she's not winning this election. That's totally Democrats
are aware of this. But think about this, buck. I mean,
there are a lot of places where on the East
Coast early on election night you can be paying attention
(13:34):
to what's going on in Virginia where Biden won by ten.
You can be paying attention to what's going on in
New Hampshire where Biden won by seven. As you start
to see these early tallies come in sixty two days
from now on the East coast, pay attention to where
Kamala is going. It ain't as sign of strength that
she's campaigning today in New Hampshire. It means she's weak
(13:56):
there too because she has to worry about putting out
fires in multiple different directions and that ain't good for her.
And I think they're starting to be pay accident and
we'll take some of your calls. By the way, Corey Lewin,
who was' Dowski, is going to join us at one
point thirty. He's now in the Trump campaign. He wanted
to come on and talk to all of you. Speaking
(14:17):
of the Senate, Bernie Marino, who is in a very
good spot to win in Ohio, is going to join
us at two, so that will be an interesting discussion
with him as well. Just giving you an idea of
where we're headed Tomorrow, Buck, the NFL returns and our
friends at Prize Picks have got an incredible offer for you.
I've got a ten to one payout, all right. I
(14:39):
want you to get your pins. I want you to
take this down. You can win ten times your money

playing on Thursday night. Derrick Henry more than a half
on his touchdowns that is, if Derrick Henry scores a
touchdown Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Raven, more than
(15:00):
one and a half touchdowns rushing, passing, or receiving. Basically,
if Lamar Jackson scores a touchdown in any way more
than one and a half, that is two and Patrick
Mahomes more on passing yards two sixty two I believe
in a half is that number? Plus you get a
free square Caleb Williams automatic winner. If all four of

Speaker 3 (15:59):
My name Clay, Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Mike drops
that never sounded so good. Find them on the free
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So you know, Trump was on the Lex Friedman podcast.
And have you ever listened to Lex Freeman podcast. I've
never listened to it, but I've seen it like clips.
It seems like it pops up a lot for people
on YouTube. This is cut to though, team I just
wanted it's Trump pointing out what a farce this whole
(16:33):
Kamala campaign is. That they're just they just picked her
and there's no process and it's just it's Kamala. I
mean your play two.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
The whole presidential thing was taken over in a coup.
He had fourteen million votes. He had no votes that one,
and nobody thought it was going to be her, and
nobody wanted to be here. She was a joke until
six weeks ago when they said we're going to have
to politically, they felt they had to pick her.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
This is really this isn't just Trump, you know, being Trump,
being funny and taking shots. This is true, Clay. They
were writing articles on the left about how Kamala was
a problem for Biden going into reelection. She was a
problem for the dementia pation everybody think about that for
a second. We discussed on this program buck the idea
(17:22):
that Biden might get away from Kamala as a anchor
on his campaign by putting her on the Supreme Court
because he pledged that he was going to put a
black woman there. And this was a Democrat theory too,
so we discussed their democrat theory act. They have managed
to create the least popular vice presidential candidate of all
(17:42):
time in their mind, into a popular presidential candidate, and
I think the charade is collapsing around them. That's what
they're starting to recognize. Kamala collapse. Everyone. We've been telling
you it's coming. You know. For all the words we
say on the air every day, I love the written

(18:49):
the Sexton Newsletter v Urgent Message dot com. Welcome back
in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you
hanging out with us. Yesterday we played you the audio
of Kamala Harris in Detroit and in Pittsburgh sounding completely different,
and it echoed all throughout the internet and really reiterated
(19:14):
for I think many people the profound inauthenticity of Kamala Harris.
Whatever you think about her, she tries to argue that
she's foreign, against TV mandates four and against a border
wall four and against fracking. Whatever she's in favor of
she used to be against and vice versa, because she
has no core value and she's running away from She
(19:38):
said she wanted to defund the police now she wants
to fund the police. She is on others every side
of every angle. Do you remember buck in two thousand
and four, George W. Bush really got John Kerry for
saying he voted for it before he voted against it.
I think it was on the Iraq Authorization bill, if
I remember correctly, twenty years ago. But that was one chant.
(20:02):
The chant became flip flop, flip flop, I remember, yeah,
but that was one thing. Kamala has actually flip flopped
on every major issue under the sun, and she's getting
caught on it because she's just not a real, honest,
authentic person. And uh, Peter Doucy yesterday in the White
(20:24):
House asked our good friend Karine Jean Pierre, who really
hasn't been in the news very much because Joe Biden's
been in hiding for much of the last month. But
he asked Kareem John Pierre. It's actually very funny. Does
Kamala Harris do multiple accents in White House meetings? Listen
to this?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Since when does vice President have what sounds like a
Southern accent.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Well, I mean this is she was talking about unions
in Detroit using one tone of voice is this line?
Does she She's the same line in Pittsburgh, and it
sounded like she at least had some kind of a.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
I mean, do you hear the question that you? I mean,
do you think Americans seriously think that this is an
important question? They care, you know, what they care about.
They care about the economy, they care about lowering costs.
They care about healthcare. That's what Americans care about. That's
what they want to do.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
They care about.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Your colleague just asked me about what basically we talked about,
went back and forth on democracy and freedom.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That's what they care about.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
I'm not even going to entertain some question about the present.
It's just it's just hearing it sounds so ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Well, but hearing it is the question I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
The questions is just insane.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Okay. Do you think Buck that Karine, Jean Pierre, and
Peter Doucy secretly kind of like each other?
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Absolutely, I'm sure they go along and are friendly off
because there's sort of a back and forth there. There's
a little bit of an understanding that this is the
game and this is the situation. But yeah, I think
they actually this is more common than a lot of
people would realize. Like some people that battle it out
in the media a little bit you and I know
you can always tell the Veke and Nikki Haley, for example,
(22:04):
do not like each other, right, Like that was real.
Other people, it's a little bit of a you know,
a little bit of a of a put on a
play a theater. And I love that because kree Jabier,
first of all, claiming that she doesn't know that Kamala
Harris's accent has gone megaviral is a lie. She certainly
(22:26):
has seen that, and Peter Deucy asking about it, and
then her pretending, how dare you people care about the
cost of goods? I mean, she offered Peter Deucy a
real great opportunity to kind of counter there and say, yeah,
you guys really blew that. Because even Kamala Buck when
she came out with her economic speech and she said
(22:47):
the price of ground beef is up fifty percent, that's
when her odds started to tank. It was when she
released actually some form of economic policy and people said,
even on a teleprompter, she's acknowledging that goods, the cost
of goods is too high and She's claiming that the
reason prices have gone up so much is price gouging,
(23:08):
which she called price gauging. She couldn't even read it correctly.
I think that the empty suit element of Kamala Harris
has vanished. I was talking about this last night. Buck
the other fun thing to watch as her campaign continues
to implode. Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, JB Pritzker, Josh Shapiro,
(23:29):
they are all loving it. They want her to lose.
Don't mistake this at all. I was maybe watching a
certain show on MSNBC yesterday in the morning, and guess what,
Gretchen Widmer shows up. I'm like, why is the governor
of Michigan showing up at this time? To well, I
know Michigan's an important battleground state, but you know, you
would think that. I don't know. I think that she's
(23:53):
preparing for the future a little bit. I just get
a sense that she's enjoying the limelight a little too much,
knowing that the problem that Kamala Harris has is I
think maybe she felt like she had to go with
Tim Walls because all of the people that you can
think of who were also thought about as a possible
takeover candidate from Biden. Are all politically more talented than
(24:14):
she is, Yes, that's the truth. I mean she's the
least talented player on the team and she's now the
captain of the team. That's the situation of the top
Democrat possibilities. And this also the reason why they're so
desperately rooting for it is this sweeps her off. Like
I was talking about this last night. I was thinking
about it. Buck. If Kamala Harris loses, as we think
(24:37):
she's going to lose, where does she go her career
is over. She's I mean old, She's going to be
the She's going to be the chancellor of like the
UC school system and make a million dollars a year
to go to cocktail parties. I mean she's good to go.
What do you think Kamala really likes? My theory is
I mean going on a date with her Clay Well,
(24:58):
I just if you're profoundly inauthentic, sometimes it's because you're
so uncomfortable in your own skin and you're doing something,
not because you love it, Like there are a bunch
of politicians out there. I think she's obsessed with power.
I think she's obsessed with power. Yes, absolutely, I think
she likes to be around the powerful. I think she
(25:19):
wants to be powerful. And a lot of people have
an obsession with power. It actually comes out of a
personal insecurity or sense of insufficiency. There's some doubts they
have about their own abilities and role in place in
the world, and so they want the external validation of
having not just power, but power over others. Right, that's
(25:40):
where you can elevate yourself. It becomes more of a
status game than anything else. Have you ever seen Kamala
Harris in any video and thought she seems authentic. I've
only seen her talking about one thing where she seems
authentic and genuinely passionate about it. You know what, it is,
(26:02):
no cooking. Every time she talks about cooking, she I mean,
this is funny to me. She actually seems like a
truer version of herself. Every other thing, whether it's like
this stupid look at the moon or we've got the
power to be unburdened by what has been or whatever
that stupid line is. Every time she's on a prompter,
(26:23):
she seems profoundly inauthentic. The only time I've ever seen
her interviewed or seen her talk about something and thought, oh,
I buy this is when she talks about cooking. She
seems genuinely passionate and normal when discussing cooking. Everything else
is profoundly fake. Well, I gotta say I actually respect that.
I like cooking myself, and I think a good cook
(26:44):
is a wonderful skill. So maybe Kamala has a future
as a top TV chef or something, and they know what.
That would be cool. And if she was a good chef,
I'd be fine with that too. You know, I'd probably
watch the show. I just don't want her to have
the new clear codes everybody. I don't want her to
be able to institute absolutely insane programs that will hurt
(27:08):
all of us, that will make when I say all
of us, I don't just mean Republicans, I mean all Americans.
It'll make us poor, it'll make us less free, it'll
make us less cohesive as a nation. Talking about the
wide open border. I mean, these are these are problems.
I'm trying to stop Kamala. We want to stop Kamala
from hurting all of us with very bad ideas. But
(27:30):
if she can make a great suit, flee that's cool.
I actually think she may totally vanish, Like I don't.
What does dan Quell do? Now? What is Michael, We're
getting a little we're getting a little ahead of ourselves.
I mean, we got two months here. But she may
be the president, so let's let's stay home. She's not
going to be president. But Michael ducaccus like, I think
she's gonna go like Ali switched. I'm already thinking, like,
(27:51):
where's she gonna go? Like Ali's saying, Oh, she's gonna
get paid a lot of money for speeches. I don't
even think that's true. I don't think she's a very
good speaker. I think that she is going to vanish
when she loses on a level that we have not
seen a Democrat before. And that's why I'm saying, like
for Davin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer, all these people who
(28:12):
want to run Josh Shapiro, this is the ultimate clean
the deck election for them. If it had been Biden's loss,
with Kamal at the bottom of the ticket, she would
have run again, no question, and a lot of people
would have tried it would have considered her maybe the
heir apparent. However, I don't think she would have won
a primary even after being vice president. Look at Joe Biden.
(28:33):
Joe Biden got skipped over after eight years as VP.
I know he ended up becoming president later because you know,
once at a century, pandemic and a lot of Shenanigans.
But I think that Kamala Harris couldn't. I don't think
she could win a Democrat primary, and I don't think
she could. Honestly, well, I was gonna say, I don't
think she has any chance of winning a general election.
(28:53):
But we have to keep it real. Any Democrat with
the full force of the Democrat machine behind them has
a real has a realistic shot of winning the presidency.
If they can make a dementia patient win, and they did,
they can make Kamala win. I'm aware of that. You know,
we have to keep that in mind. And they made
Fetterman win, which given that Pennsylvania is the single most
important state, that's where you have to be careful. Did
(29:16):
you see what Fetterman on on Israel once again? You see,
like his latest he's someone saying there was something about
how to the from the river to the sea, isn't
inherently you know, anti anti Israeli an anti Jewish, anti Semitic,
and he called it, you know, bleeping nonsense. I don't know.
I love him on that, I mean. And and honestly,
(29:39):
he's been kind of under the radar in terms of
being very involved. He and Josh Shapiro both in Pennsylvania. Yeah. Well,
I also think there's a very good chance people will
look back at the Kamala decision not to pick Shapiro
and say, that was so obvious, cats, so dumb. That's
why she lost, you know, if she loses Pennsylvania in
the election. You know, one thing I haven't asked you
about him. I'm wondering if you're seeing this too. In
(29:59):
some some of the polling for some of these swing states,
RFK Junior is still showing up at like three four
percentage points. I told you, Buck, and we should talk
about this when we come back, because I was reading
an Axios article about it this morning. They are now
demanding that his name stay on the ballot in Michigan
rather than allow it to be pulled off because they
(30:21):
think that he could hurt Trump in Michigan. And I
told you that they were going to go from full bore. Hey,
RFK Junior can't be on the ballot too. As soon
as he endorsed Trump, he has to be on the ballot.
These are the defenders of democracy. Ah yeah, Clay. But
also this means that RFK Junior's whole third party candidacy thing.
(30:42):
I know, everyone's all like, oh great, you know he's
endorsing Trump. He still could cost Trump the presidency unless
something's change here. That is a real you know, And
I know that there are a lot of people that
really like RFK Junior on the right. For some reasons,
I've been skeptical he's still on the backbody. I don't
think he's going to be able to get off the ballot.
(31:03):
And we all know that him on the ballot hurts Trump.
So if Trump doesn't win this election, the whole third
party candidacy that had no purpose other than to endorse
Trump in the end, I'm I'm just putting it out there.
It concerns me a little bit. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe
we get RFK Junior to come on and tell us,
you know, he's going to fix everything. But I'm a
little concerned. I think team looked this up. I believe
(31:25):
RFK Junior is likely to be on the ballot in
Michigan and Wisconsin. I don't think he's on in Pennsylvania,
in North Carolina, Arizona, or Nevada. That's still a big deal,
I know, right, you know, but not on the ballot
in Oregon and Maine, you know, like he's on the
ballot in places that really matter. Jill Stein is on
(31:47):
the ballot in Wisconsin, which has Democrats really rattled because
they kept her off the ballot in twenty twenty, and
she's going to be on in some battlegrounds as the
Green Party candidate. I respect her full communist. She's full communist.
She doesn't pretend, no doubt. Jerry Paget enlisted in the
US Navy, deployed multiple times to Iraq in Afghanistan. That's
(32:08):
dedication to preserving our freedoms. While on patrol in Afghanistan,
Jerry was badly injured. He suffered injuries to his brain,
spinal cord, and was left to contend with numerous surgeries.
Thankfully he's with us today. Nothing can reverse the damage
done to Jerry's body, but through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation,
we can honor heroes like Jerry and gratitude for their
(32:28):
tremendous sacrifices. We understand the price of freedom. We can
choose to honor those who fight for it despite its
tremendous cost. Thanks to friends like you, Jerry and his
family moved into a new smart home at the Foundation's
village in Florida, where he can live independently thanks to
adaptive technologies. Nothing can repay the price of freedom, but
(32:49):
your donation now can change the lives of those who
so selflessly sacrifice for our communities and our country. Donate
eleven dollars a month to tunnel the towers at T
two T. That's tea the number two T dot org.

what Clay does. Let's take some calls here, my friends.
We have George in Florida. What's going on, my fellow Floridian.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Yeah, for the Free State of Florida. Hey, my question is,
do y'all think that the Democratic machine is going to
be successful in taking Elon Musk's Twitter down just like
they did to parlor in twenty twenty before this election.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
No, I don't. Look it's a fair question, George, because
Brazil has basically shut down X for all intents and
purposes by saying that if you access it, I think
it's like a ten thousand dollars a day fine or
something like that if you use a VPN to access it.
So Brazil has gone full left member, left wing government
in Brazil. What a shock full authoritarian on censorship. But look,
(35:02):
with all due respect to Parlor shutting down parlor versus
shutting down a property owned by Elon Musk, the richest
person in the world, very very different thing, no doubt.
And by the way, we should hit this buck because
our team looked it up. Kennedy so far has been
unable to remove his name from Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina,
(35:23):
three competitive states. That's a disaster, everybody. Now, if he
stays on, that's a disaster. I just I noticed because
some of you get very met Why are you so
salty about RFK Junior? And I'm like, look, I agree
with him on COVID clan. I see that the same way.
But what's the point of his candidacy If he can't
get off the ballot in those states. He is hurting Trump.
He has gotten off the ballot. This is according to
(35:43):
ABC News in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas,
and South Carolina. But three battleground states Michigan, Wisconsin, and
North Carolina. And this is important, Democrats are fighting to
keep trying his name on the ballot, scammer. After months
(36:05):
months fighting to get him off the ballot everywhere, they
now are fighting as hard as they can in Michigan, Wisconsin,
and North Carolina to keep him on the ballot. It
look incredible for a party that claimed the indoors democracy.
I know, Junior endors, I know he's trying to get off.
I know he's trying to do the right thing now,
but you know, this is the problem with running a
(36:26):
third party candidacy in such a tight election year like this.
We'll see, we'll see, maybe he gets it squared away.
But I am concerned about it. I'm not concerned about
vivek Ramaswami tearing apart CNN on their own air uh
and Kamalist policies. We'll get into that here. In just
a second,
Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. We have got
a barn burner of a show, and I feel like
we're going to have a lot of barn burners of
shows as we sit here sixty two days from the
official election. But what's wild is within about ten days
(00:24):
or so, many of you are going to be able
to start to vote because we no longer have Election Day,
we have election season. And that means whatever is locked
in in the public consciousness beginning in about ten days
is going to be reflected in the vote tallies. And Buck,
as I sit here today with you in Washington, DC,
(00:47):
you are in Miami. But I walked past the White
House this morning en route to go speak on the
campus of George Washington University. I took a picture of
the White House and I said, sixty two days until
Trump is re elected president of the United States. And
as all the stories are coming out, as poll data
(01:09):
continues to arrive, it seems to me clear that there
is starting to be a bit of a panic setting
in in the Kamala Harris campaign. And what do I
mean that looks like? Well in the last hour, CNN
has said that Russia is trying to influence the twenty
twenty four election campaign. This is a major breaking news
(01:33):
from Jim Acosta, and many of you out there are
laughing at the idea. This to me is emblematic of
the challenge that Kamala Harris faces right now. She has
to convince people that after four years of disaster with
Joe Biden, after she has failed on the economy, after
(01:54):
she has failed on the border, and after she has
failed on crime, that Donald Trump, who is aside from COVID,
almost everyone out there, was doing far better in January
and February of twenty twenty than they have ever done.
Mortgage rates were down incredibly low, Inflation was almost nonexistent,
your wages were growing faster than the cost of goods.
(02:16):
That all flipped economy, border crime, and they're now trying
to play the greatest Trump is Evil hits and they
just aren't registering with the general electorate because people have
gotten smarter, and they also recognize in a major way
that this is the boy who cried Wolf's scenario. And
(02:39):
I think that that's the problem. They can't redefine Donald Trump.
Everybody's made up their minds and Kamala buck to me.
The more I watched, I went after we finished the
show yesterday, I went back and I watched and I
went on with Tim cast Timpoole. I had a good
discussion with him last night. The audio of Kamala and
the video of Kamala in Detroit and Pittsburgh yesterday, where
(03:03):
she was clearly trying to talk differently to different audiences.
The more time people spend with Kamala, the less they
like her. That was true of Democrats in the twenty
twenty presidential election when she dropped out before a single
vote has been cast. And I think the sugar high
of August has given way to a rapidly collapsing poll
(03:25):
data in September. I give you credit because you said
when there was nearly the peak about two weeks ago,
that this was not going to last. I got nervous.
I think there is a panic setting in in the
Kamala Harris campaign. The Kamala catastrophe is coming everybody. I'm
not sure if it'll be on debate night or just
(03:47):
election night. But she's an awful candidate. What we really
see here and I understand you know on the one hand,
I want everyone motivated, fired up, keep the faith, stay focused.
I also don't want anyone to think, oh, well, we're
taking any immigrant, and of course not. She's I mean,
Trump is up against the Democrat machine. The real question
(04:10):
here isn't can Trump beat Kamala Harris. It's ken Trump
beat the current incarnation of the Democrat apparatus with all
of its media assistants and and you know Phony five
oh one, Seed three's pushing stuff and and everything that
they've got, right, I can't name it all, but the
entire apparatus of the Democrat Party is launched against Trump,
(04:32):
including using the DOJ, and partisans and Prosecutor's office everything, right,
Can Trump beat that? Kamala Harris is effectively generic Democrat.
She's a stand in for you could have had any
number of other Democrats. You can't actually have an exposed
dementia patient. Okay, we saw that with Biden. That was
the decision they made. If they hadn't debated, it would
(04:54):
have been fine. I actually just made the reservation for
Clay's steak, so you know I carry sex. Then that
really kind of a shot across the bow buck that
would send the invite right as we're beginning the show today.
Thank you Carrie for this fabulous steak dinner that is
now set in place in Miami on September twenty First,
I'm a man who pays his debts, but I would
(05:15):
have been enjoying a stake on play if it were,
you know, on his tab, if it were not the
case that Biden had to debate it, if if Biden
had avoided that debate. So here's here's where I see
it with Kamala Clay. We're gonna watch them continue to
play defense the Russia collusion thing that CNN has an
(05:38):
I'm sorry, Russia interference right, technically they haven't accused from funding,
but it's coming. It's coming. The Russia wants Trump to
win the election is a desperation thing. But I can
understand why they go for it, given the fact that
Kamala is a horrible candidate, that Kamala is a uniquely
awful Democrat actually so in a sense, I don't even
(06:01):
know if it's fair to say she's generic Democrat or
you know, she's sort of Democrats stand in for whatever
the party is. I think they could have had better options.
I'm not even sure when all said and done, people
won't realize that Joe Biden wasn't a better option. But
I also see that there's the chance that the Democrat
apparatus is so strong, it's so powerful at this point,
(06:24):
and that the Republicans have not met to counter them properly,
that Trump could in fact lose. I don't believe that
will happen, but I know it is a possibility that
that could happen. There's nothing about Kamala Harris that is
going to improve in the days and weeks ahead. In fact,
with familiarity comes concern from the Democrats, and that's what
(06:44):
we've seen start to happen here. Clay. I agree with you.
I don't think the debate is going to be a
knockout punch for either side. And that's almost always the
case with debates. You have to say almost always, because
for Biden it was right, and so it is the
case that a debate can end a presidential career. But
you know it's only when one side is so mendacious
that they put a dementia pation forward and say, no,
(07:05):
he's fine, but Kamala Harris is not going to be
winning over voters. They're just she's hoping that the Democrat
turnout machine is just going to be able to get
the votes going. You know, there's so much about her
that you could criticize. One of the things they're trying
(07:26):
to do. I think is honestly just so a lot
of confusion. We end up chasing down what is Commalis's
position on any particular issue right now. It's tough to
say because there's what she has said, there's what she
has stood for for four years of Biden, and then
there's her running against the Biden Harris record in essence
by saying, you know, we're about to do all of
(07:48):
the following. You know, when I was watched this Morning Clay,
Morning Joe, oh, your body was going on. You know
what's going on over there. I know I'm like their
most dedicated viewer. Now because they live in a parallel universe,
you have to understand the talking points of Morning Joe
or else you can't see how can anyone believe this garbage? Like,
how can anyone think that this is reality? They were
talking about the border and it's just so funny, you
(08:10):
know what they're going with now?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Ugh, The border has just been such a focus of Biden,
and it's just this challenge that came up, and he's
done so much work against the issue of our lawless border.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And if only Republicans had gone along with that bill.
I mean, you have to be a moron to believe, yes,
that in the final year of his presidency he decides
to put forward some bill that has no prayer of
going forward, and he takes the border seriously. By the way,
That's Kamala's whole thing too, now, is that the Biden
border bill is what she would have gone for, and
she wanted to fix the problem. They lit the house
(08:44):
on fire and then as it was going down to
the embers clay, they look at the fire department they're like,
you guys, didn't do anything here. This is also emblematic
for what they're trying to do with Kamala, not just
on the border electric vehicle mandate. Did you see their requesting, Hey,
does this mean that you're now against the bill that
you co sponsored. They can't get an answer the fracking thing,
(09:09):
even Dana Bash on CNN had to follow up with
and we can't really get an answer on that. And
Buck I saw this morning. They're trying to figure out Hey, Kamala,
you've previously said that you believe in reparations for slavery?
Do you still believe in reparations for slavery? And they
can't get an answer from the Kamala Harris campaign on
(09:31):
that either. So it's not only that she's not giving answers,
it's that she's actually given answers on diametrically opposed sides
of many of the issues that you guys care about
the most. And I'll point this out to Buck right now,
Kamala is in New Hampshire. Pay attention to the states
(09:51):
that she is campaigning in. The she's not trying to flip.
Other than North Carolina. There is no state that Trump
won in in twenty twenty that he's having to play
defense in. Kamala is sprinting around to seven or eight
different states that Joe Biden won in twenty twenty that
she is trying to preserve, and Trump has so many
(10:15):
different pathways to be able to win this race. Just
pay attention to where she goes. The fact that she's
in New Hampshire today is not a good sign. If
they feel like they need to go to New Hampshire
a state crew, correct me if I'm wrong. I believe
Biden won New Hampshire by seven points in twenty twenty.
(10:36):
The fact that they need to defend the ground of
New Hampshire means she's not polling very well in New Hampshire.
This morning on Morning Joe again, guys, you don't understand.
It's like I am wandering around the enemy camp for
all of you and listening to their colonels and their
lieutenants and you know, their diversity advisors, listening to their plans. Okay,
(10:59):
I'm listening to what and you know what they were doing,
Clay is they're having to get the audience ready for Oh,
this is going to be a really tight election. A
few weeks ago, it was look at Kama's lead. She's
up so much in the swing states. Right, there was
that moment of oh, new candidate, so exciting, first date
with Kamala for America, although not really because she's been
(11:19):
vice president for four years. What's going on here? Everyone?
You know, they look at the Hillary numbers going into
Labor Day. They talk about this on Morning Joe. Hillary
numbers going into Labor Day, Biden numbers going into Labor Day,
and current Kamala numbers going into Labor Day and guess
what if that trend holds, Donald Trump is winning this election. Yes,
(11:42):
that's really you know, they had to whisper this. They
had to sort of get it early in the show
so that people don't but they have to put it
out there because they recognize there is no chance Kamala
Harris flips any red state, any meaningful in red state
and in the battlegrounds. They're just hoping she can and
eke it out and really that the Democrat machine can
eat it out. That's the whole plan. And to your point,
(12:05):
the point I was just making, thanks for the crew
looking this up. In New Hampshire, Biden fifty two point
seven percent, Trump forty five point four. You know what's
fascinating about New Hampshire as well, Buck, You can only
vote in person on election day. Do you know that
that's one of the few states in America where there
is no I believe I'm correct on this, There is
(12:27):
no absentee, there's no early voting. You have to show
up in person with your ID in your hand and
vote on election day in New Hampshire. So that is
one of if you're going to point to a state
and say Hey, how confident are you in the outcome here?
New Hampshire is one of the most reliable out there.
Biden won by seven points in twenty twenty. If Biden
(12:50):
won by seven in New Hampshire and Kamala Harris coming
out of Labor Day is in New Hampshire right now campaigning,
that has to mean that her internal polling in New
Hampshire has this as a margin of error state, because
otherwise you would be going somewhere else. Again, pay attention
to where they go. It often will tell you what
(13:13):
they see internally about this election. And they see weakness
for Kamala in Pennsylvania, and they know if she doesn't
win Pennsylvania, she's not winning this election. That's totally Democrats
are aware of this. But think about this, buck. I mean,
there are a lot of places where on the East
Coast early on election night you can be paying attention
(13:34):
to what's going on in Virginia where Biden won by ten.
You can be paying attention to what's going on in
New Hampshire where Biden won by seven. As you start
to see these early tallies come in sixty two days
from now on the East coast, pay attention to where
Kamala is going. It ain't as sign of strength that
she's campaigning today in New Hampshire. It means she's weak
(13:56):
there too because she has to worry about putting out
fires in multiple different directions and that ain't good for her.
And I think they're starting to be pay accident and
we'll take some of your calls. By the way, Corey Lewin,
who was' Dowski, is going to join us at one
point thirty. He's now in the Trump campaign. He wanted
to come on and talk to all of you. Speaking
(14:17):
of the Senate, Bernie Marino, who is in a very
good spot to win in Ohio, is going to join
us at two, so that will be an interesting discussion
with him as well. Just giving you an idea of
where we're headed Tomorrow, Buck, the NFL returns and our
friends at Prize Picks have got an incredible offer for you.
I've got a ten to one payout, all right. I
(14:39):
want you to get your pins. I want you to
take this down. You can win ten times your money
if we're right about this game. Hitting Raven's Chiefs are
playing on Thursday night. Derrick Henry more than a half
on his touchdowns that is, if Derrick Henry scores a
touchdown Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Raven, more than
(15:00):
one and a half touchdowns rushing, passing, or receiving. Basically,
if Lamar Jackson scores a touchdown in any way more
than one and a half, that is two and Patrick
Mahomes more on passing yards two sixty two I believe
in a half is that number? Plus you get a
free square Caleb Williams automatic winner. If all four of
(15:21):
those hit, you get a ten to one payout. And

Speaker 3 (15:59):
My name Clay, Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Mike drops
that never sounded so good. Find them on the free
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So you know, Trump was on the Lex Friedman podcast.
And have you ever listened to Lex Freeman podcast. I've
never listened to it, but I've seen it like clips.
It seems like it pops up a lot for people
on YouTube. This is cut to though, team I just
wanted it's Trump pointing out what a farce this whole
(16:33):
Kamala campaign is. That they're just they just picked her
and there's no process and it's just it's Kamala. I
mean your play two.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
The whole presidential thing was taken over in a coup.
He had fourteen million votes. He had no votes that one,
and nobody thought it was going to be her, and
nobody wanted to be here. She was a joke until
six weeks ago when they said we're going to have
to politically, they felt they had to pick her.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
This is really this isn't just Trump, you know, being Trump,
being funny and taking shots. This is true, Clay. They
were writing articles on the left about how Kamala was
a problem for Biden going into reelection. She was a
problem for the dementia pation everybody think about that for
a second. We discussed on this program buck the idea
(17:22):
that Biden might get away from Kamala as a anchor
on his campaign by putting her on the Supreme Court
because he pledged that he was going to put a
black woman there. And this was a Democrat theory too,
so we discussed their democrat theory act. They have managed
to create the least popular vice presidential candidate of all
(17:42):
time in their mind, into a popular presidential candidate, and
I think the charade is collapsing around them. That's what
they're starting to recognize. Kamala collapse. Everyone. We've been telling
you it's coming. You know. For all the words we

(18:49):
the Sexton Newsletter v Urgent Message dot com. Welcome back
in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you
hanging out with us. Yesterday we played you the audio
of Kamala Harris in Detroit and in Pittsburgh sounding completely different,
and it echoed all throughout the internet and really reiterated
(19:14):
for I think many people the profound inauthenticity of Kamala Harris.
Whatever you think about her, she tries to argue that
she's foreign, against TV mandates four and against a border
wall four and against fracking. Whatever she's in favor of
she used to be against and vice versa, because she
has no core value and she's running away from She
(19:38):
said she wanted to defund the police now she wants
to fund the police. She is on others every side
of every angle. Do you remember buck in two thousand
and four, George W. Bush really got John Kerry for
saying he voted for it before he voted against it.
I think it was on the Iraq Authorization bill, if
I remember correctly, twenty years ago. But that was one chant.
(20:02):
The chant became flip flop, flip flop, I remember, yeah,
but that was one thing. Kamala has actually flip flopped
on every major issue under the sun, and she's getting
caught on it because she's just not a real, honest,
authentic person. And uh, Peter Doucy yesterday in the White
(20:24):
House asked our good friend Karine Jean Pierre, who really
hasn't been in the news very much because Joe Biden's
been in hiding for much of the last month. But
he asked Kareem John Pierre. It's actually very funny. Does
Kamala Harris do multiple accents in White House meetings? Listen
to this?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Since when does vice President have what sounds like a
Southern accent.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Well, I mean this is she was talking about unions
in Detroit using one tone of voice is this line?
Does she She's the same line in Pittsburgh, and it
sounded like she at least had some kind of a.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
I mean, do you hear the question that you? I mean,
do you think Americans seriously think that this is an
important question? They care, you know, what they care about.
They care about the economy, they care about lowering costs.
They care about healthcare. That's what Americans care about. That's
what they want to do.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
They care about.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Your colleague just asked me about what basically we talked about,
went back and forth on democracy and freedom.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That's what they care about.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
I'm not even going to entertain some question about the present.
It's just it's just hearing it sounds so ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Well, but hearing it is the question I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
The questions is just insane.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Okay. Do you think Buck that Karine, Jean Pierre, and
Peter Doucy secretly kind of like each other?
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Absolutely, I'm sure they go along and are friendly off
because there's sort of a back and forth there. There's
a little bit of an understanding that this is the
game and this is the situation. But yeah, I think
they actually this is more common than a lot of
people would realize. Like some people that battle it out
in the media a little bit you and I know
you can always tell the Veke and Nikki Haley, for example,
(22:04):
do not like each other, right, Like that was real.
Other people, it's a little bit of a you know,
a little bit of a of a put on a
play a theater. And I love that because kree Jabier,
first of all, claiming that she doesn't know that Kamala
Harris's accent has gone megaviral is a lie. She certainly
(22:26):
has seen that, and Peter Deucy asking about it, and
then her pretending, how dare you people care about the
cost of goods? I mean, she offered Peter Deucy a
real great opportunity to kind of counter there and say, yeah,
you guys really blew that. Because even Kamala Buck when
she came out with her economic speech and she said
(22:47):
the price of ground beef is up fifty percent, that's
when her odds started to tank. It was when she
released actually some form of economic policy and people said,
even on a teleprompter, she's acknowledging that goods, the cost
of goods is too high and She's claiming that the
reason prices have gone up so much is price gouging,
(23:08):
which she called price gauging. She couldn't even read it correctly.
I think that the empty suit element of Kamala Harris
has vanished. I was talking about this last night. Buck
the other fun thing to watch as her campaign continues
to implode. Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, JB Pritzker, Josh Shapiro,
(23:29):
they are all loving it. They want her to lose.
Don't mistake this at all. I was maybe watching a
certain show on MSNBC yesterday in the morning, and guess what,
Gretchen Widmer shows up. I'm like, why is the governor
of Michigan showing up at this time? To well, I
know Michigan's an important battleground state, but you know, you
would think that. I don't know. I think that she's
(23:53):
preparing for the future a little bit. I just get
a sense that she's enjoying the limelight a little too much,
knowing that the problem that Kamala Harris has is I
think maybe she felt like she had to go with
Tim Walls because all of the people that you can
think of who were also thought about as a possible
takeover candidate from Biden. Are all politically more talented than
(24:14):
she is, Yes, that's the truth. I mean she's the
least talented player on the team and she's now the
captain of the team. That's the situation of the top
Democrat possibilities. And this also the reason why they're so
desperately rooting for it is this sweeps her off. Like
I was talking about this last night. I was thinking
about it. Buck. If Kamala Harris loses, as we think
(24:37):
she's going to lose, where does she go her career
is over. She's I mean old, She's going to be
the She's going to be the chancellor of like the
UC school system and make a million dollars a year
to go to cocktail parties. I mean she's good to go.
What do you think Kamala really likes? My theory is
I mean going on a date with her Clay Well,
(24:58):
I just if you're profoundly inauthentic, sometimes it's because you're
so uncomfortable in your own skin and you're doing something,
not because you love it, Like there are a bunch
of politicians out there. I think she's obsessed with power.
I think she's obsessed with power. Yes, absolutely, I think
she likes to be around the powerful. I think she
(25:19):
wants to be powerful. And a lot of people have
an obsession with power. It actually comes out of a
personal insecurity or sense of insufficiency. There's some doubts they
have about their own abilities and role in place in
the world, and so they want the external validation of
having not just power, but power over others. Right, that's
(25:40):
where you can elevate yourself. It becomes more of a
status game than anything else. Have you ever seen Kamala
Harris in any video and thought she seems authentic. I've
only seen her talking about one thing where she seems
authentic and genuinely passionate about it. You know what, it is,
(26:02):
no cooking. Every time she talks about cooking, she I mean,
this is funny to me. She actually seems like a
truer version of herself. Every other thing, whether it's like
this stupid look at the moon or we've got the
power to be unburdened by what has been or whatever
that stupid line is. Every time she's on a prompter,
(26:23):
she seems profoundly inauthentic. The only time I've ever seen
her interviewed or seen her talk about something and thought, oh,
I buy this is when she talks about cooking. She
seems genuinely passionate and normal when discussing cooking. Everything else
is profoundly fake. Well, I gotta say I actually respect that.
I like cooking myself, and I think a good cook
(26:44):
is a wonderful skill. So maybe Kamala has a future
as a top TV chef or something, and they know what.
That would be cool. And if she was a good chef,
I'd be fine with that too. You know, I'd probably
watch the show. I just don't want her to have
the new clear codes everybody. I don't want her to
be able to institute absolutely insane programs that will hurt
(27:08):
all of us, that will make when I say all
of us, I don't just mean Republicans, I mean all Americans.
It'll make us poor, it'll make us less free, it'll
make us less cohesive as a nation. Talking about the
wide open border. I mean, these are these are problems.
I'm trying to stop Kamala. We want to stop Kamala
from hurting all of us with very bad ideas. But
(27:30):
if she can make a great suit, flee that's cool.
I actually think she may totally vanish, Like I don't.
What does dan Quell do? Now? What is Michael, We're
getting a little we're getting a little ahead of ourselves.
I mean, we got two months here. But she may
be the president, so let's let's stay home. She's not
going to be president. But Michael ducaccus like, I think
she's gonna go like Ali switched. I'm already thinking, like,
(27:51):
where's she gonna go? Like Ali's saying, Oh, she's gonna
get paid a lot of money for speeches. I don't
even think that's true. I don't think she's a very
good speaker. I think that she is going to vanish
when she loses on a level that we have not
seen a Democrat before. And that's why I'm saying, like
for Davin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer, all these people who
(28:12):
want to run Josh Shapiro, this is the ultimate clean
the deck election for them. If it had been Biden's loss,
with Kamal at the bottom of the ticket, she would
have run again, no question, and a lot of people
would have tried it would have considered her maybe the
heir apparent. However, I don't think she would have won
a primary even after being vice president. Look at Joe Biden.
(28:33):
Joe Biden got skipped over after eight years as VP.
I know he ended up becoming president later because you know,
once at a century, pandemic and a lot of Shenanigans.
But I think that Kamala Harris couldn't. I don't think
she could win a Democrat primary, and I don't think
she could. Honestly, well, I was gonna say, I don't
think she has any chance of winning a general election.
(28:53):
But we have to keep it real. Any Democrat with
the full force of the Democrat machine behind them has
a real has a realistic shot of winning the presidency.
If they can make a dementia patient win, and they did,
they can make Kamala win. I'm aware of that. You know,
we have to keep that in mind. And they made
Fetterman win, which given that Pennsylvania is the single most
important state, that's where you have to be careful. Did
(29:16):
you see what Fetterman on on Israel once again? You see,
like his latest he's someone saying there was something about
how to the from the river to the sea, isn't
inherently you know, anti anti Israeli an anti Jewish, anti Semitic,
and he called it, you know, bleeping nonsense. I don't know.
I love him on that, I mean. And and honestly,
(29:39):
he's been kind of under the radar in terms of
being very involved. He and Josh Shapiro both in Pennsylvania. Yeah. Well,
I also think there's a very good chance people will
look back at the Kamala decision not to pick Shapiro
and say, that was so obvious, cats, so dumb. That's
why she lost, you know, if she loses Pennsylvania in
the election. You know, one thing I haven't asked you
about him. I'm wondering if you're seeing this too. In
(29:59):
some some of the polling for some of these swing states,
RFK Junior is still showing up at like three four
percentage points. I told you, Buck, and we should talk
about this when we come back, because I was reading
an Axios article about it this morning. They are now
demanding that his name stay on the ballot in Michigan
rather than allow it to be pulled off because they
(30:21):
think that he could hurt Trump in Michigan. And I
told you that they were going to go from full bore. Hey,
RFK Junior can't be on the ballot too. As soon
as he endorsed Trump, he has to be on the ballot.
These are the defenders of democracy. Ah yeah, Clay. But
also this means that RFK Junior's whole third party candidacy thing.
(30:42):
I know, everyone's all like, oh great, you know he's
endorsing Trump. He still could cost Trump the presidency unless
something's change here. That is a real you know, And
I know that there are a lot of people that
really like RFK Junior on the right. For some reasons,
I've been skeptical he's still on the backbody. I don't
think he's going to be able to get off the ballot.
(31:03):
And we all know that him on the ballot hurts Trump.
So if Trump doesn't win this election, the whole third
party candidacy that had no purpose other than to endorse
Trump in the end, I'm I'm just putting it out there.
It concerns me a little bit. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe
we get RFK Junior to come on and tell us,
you know, he's going to fix everything. But I'm a
little concerned. I think team looked this up. I believe
(31:25):
RFK Junior is likely to be on the ballot in
Michigan and Wisconsin. I don't think he's on in Pennsylvania,
in North Carolina, Arizona, or Nevada. That's still a big deal,
I know, right, you know, but not on the ballot
in Oregon and Maine, you know, like he's on the
ballot in places that really matter. Jill Stein is on
(31:47):
the ballot in Wisconsin, which has Democrats really rattled because
they kept her off the ballot in twenty twenty, and
she's going to be on in some battlegrounds as the
Green Party candidate. I respect her full communist. She's full communist.
She doesn't pretend, no doubt. Jerry Paget enlisted in the
US Navy, deployed multiple times to Iraq in Afghanistan. That's
(32:08):
dedication to preserving our freedoms. While on patrol in Afghanistan,
Jerry was badly injured. He suffered injuries to his brain,
spinal cord, and was left to contend with numerous surgeries.
Thankfully he's with us today. Nothing can reverse the damage
done to Jerry's body, but through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation,
we can honor heroes like Jerry and gratitude for their
(32:28):
tremendous sacrifices. We understand the price of freedom. We can
choose to honor those who fight for it despite its
tremendous cost. Thanks to friends like you, Jerry and his
family moved into a new smart home at the Foundation's
village in Florida, where he can live independently thanks to
adaptive technologies. Nothing can repay the price of freedom, but
(32:49):
your donation now can change the lives of those who
so selflessly sacrifice for our communities and our country. Donate
eleven dollars a month to tunnel the towers at T
two T. That's tea the number two T dot org.

what Clay does. Let's take some calls here, my friends.
We have George in Florida. What's going on, my fellow Floridian.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Yeah, for the Free State of Florida. Hey, my question is,
do y'all think that the Democratic machine is going to
be successful in taking Elon Musk's Twitter down just like
they did to parlor in twenty twenty before this election.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
No, I don't. Look it's a fair question, George, because
Brazil has basically shut down X for all intents and
purposes by saying that if you access it, I think
it's like a ten thousand dollars a day fine or
something like that if you use a VPN to access it.
So Brazil has gone full left member, left wing government
in Brazil. What a shock full authoritarian on censorship. But look,
(35:02):
with all due respect to Parlor shutting down parlor versus
shutting down a property owned by Elon Musk, the richest
person in the world, very very different thing, no doubt.
And by the way, we should hit this buck because
our team looked it up. Kennedy so far has been
unable to remove his name from Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina,
(35:23):
three competitive states. That's a disaster, everybody. Now, if he
stays on, that's a disaster. I just I noticed because
some of you get very met Why are you so
salty about RFK Junior? And I'm like, look, I agree
with him on COVID clan. I see that the same way.
But what's the point of his candidacy If he can't
get off the ballot in those states. He is hurting Trump.
He has gotten off the ballot. This is according to
(35:43):
ABC News in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas,
and South Carolina. But three battleground states Michigan, Wisconsin, and
North Carolina. And this is important, Democrats are fighting to
keep trying his name on the ballot, scammer. After months
(36:05):
months fighting to get him off the ballot everywhere, they
now are fighting as hard as they can in Michigan, Wisconsin,
and North Carolina to keep him on the ballot. It
look incredible for a party that claimed the indoors democracy.
I know, Junior endors, I know he's trying to get off.
I know he's trying to do the right thing now,
but you know, this is the problem with running a
(36:26):
third party candidacy in such a tight election year like this.
We'll see, we'll see, maybe he gets it squared away.
But I am concerned about it. I'm not concerned about
vivek Ramaswami tearing apart CNN on their own air uh
and Kamalist policies. We'll get into that here. In just
a second,
