Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show continues the deep dive into the political and cultural battles shaping America, with a strong focus on urban crime, Democratic leadership failures, and media manipulation. The hour opens with renewed scrutiny of Chicago’s violent crime epidemic, where Governor JB Pritzker dodges questions about the city’s safety following a weekend of 54 shootings and 7 deaths. Clay and Buck argue that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. has proven effective, and they challenge Democrats to explain their resistance to similar measures in cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and New Orleans.
The hosts dissect Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inflammatory rhetoric, including his call for citizens to “defend the land” against Trump’s law enforcement efforts. Clay and Buck criticize this as dangerous and historically inaccurate, noting that Chicago was not built by slaves or indigenous people, and that invoking such narratives undermines real solutions to crime. They emphasize the psychological deterrent effect of visible law enforcement and the success of plainclothes policing units in cities like New York.
The conversation shifts to the broader political implications of Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, highlighting how Democrats are increasingly boxed into defending the indefensible. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s actions are saving lives, even if those lives can’t be individually identified, and they call out the hypocrisy of Democrats who welcomed National Guard troops during COVID but now oppose them for public safety.
Listeners call in to share personal perspectives, including a black caller from Oklahoma City who explains that many black Democrats support figures like Jasmine Crockett simply because they oppose Trump, regardless of how they present themselves. The hosts explore the growing divide within the black community, particularly among black men, who are increasingly open to conservative ideas and Trump’s policies.
The hour also covers the emerging controversy surrounding Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a rising Democratic star accused of falsely claiming he received a Bronze Star. Clay and Buck expose the media’s attempt to sanitize the story and suggest that Moore’s misrepresentation is part of a broader effort to position him as a future presidential contender. They compare Moore’s situation to past cases of military record embellishment and argue that such dishonesty should disqualify candidates from higher office.
In a lighter segment, the hosts mock Kamala Harris’s upcoming speaking tour, including a VIP event in Nashville with ticket prices exceeding $2,700. They joke about attending undercover and reflect on the Democratic Party’s struggle to connect with young men, predicting a future ticket featuring Gavin Newsom and Wes Moore as an attempt to rebrand the party’s image.
The show closes with a heartfelt call from a listener whose father earned three Bronze Stars but never spoke of them, contrasting his humility with Moore’s alleged self-promotion. Clay and Buck promise to help her recover the medals in honor of her father’s service.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Again Tuesday edition.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We hope all of you had fantastic Labor Day weekends.
We are back rolling with all of you as we
officially enter into the fall calendar season with a lot
to discuss. Encourage you, as always go subscribe to the
show on YouTube. We are going to be putting more
(00:22):
hours of the show up on YouTube in the months ahead,
and you were going to be able to keep up
with us there. That will actually be a great way
to keep track of the show, as will following us
on basically any social media platform out there. You can
find me, you can find Buck, you can find the
Clay and Buck Show. We are across the entire landscape,
(00:46):
and as we start off the third hour here, I
do think looking at Chicago as an example of the
Democrat Party having lost its way and Trump uniquely hitting
on a story that intuitively is very positive, which is
I want to drive down the rate of violent crime
(01:08):
across the country.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Too many people are getting murdered, too many people are
getting beaten up. Too many people are getting carjacked, having
their property stolen. All of this would be a really
good resolution.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
This morning, JB. Pritzker was walking and being interviewed during
his walk, and he dodged a question about the extreme
rate of violence that took place in Chicago over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This is cut twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
You're going to hear people, especially pat this past week
at fifty four shot seven dead. They're going to say
the city's not safe. Would you ask your friends to
ride the l after midnight or after nine o'clock at night,
even to come down to the city from O'Hare.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Look, big cities have crime, there's no doubt about it.
But let's just to what President Trump is doing targeting show.
He's overlooking red states that have much higher crime rates.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, this is a really bad argument. Now, if Pritzker
wants to argue that in blue cities in red states
there are also super high crime rates and the National
Guard should be called in there too, I echo it Memphis,
in my home state, I would welcome the National Guard.
(02:29):
I think a lot of you listening in Kansas City
or Saint Louis or New Orleans would welcome the National
Guard in your city's to drive down rates of violent crime.
We're going to play a couple of other cuts. Brandon Johnson,
the mayor, but Buck, this is an example of trying
to make an argument that is very difficult and ultimately
comes down to I'm concerned that Trump is exercising too
(02:51):
much power in his effort to drive down violent crime
in my community. That is effectively what Trump has got
Democrats arguing.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
It's, like I said, a win from both sides of
the issue, as in, Trump is doing an objectively good thing, right,
not even a politically good thing, an objectively good thing,
and the politics of it are favorable to Trump because
the Democrats are are coming out and they just refuse
to say what we all know. I mean, they refuse
(03:22):
to see the reality, which is that it just it
really has to start from this premise clay of it
doesn't have to be this way. We don't actually have
to have you know, five hundred murders a year in
Chicago and five or six hundred murders a year in Philadelphia,
and you look at some of the recent some of
the recent tallies in these cities. It's just simply unacceptable.
(03:42):
And it's year in and year out. This could be changed.
Trump wants to change it. And and you know, you
had the the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson. I mean
this is just the kind of stuff that you're gonna
hear from some of these Democrats. He's saying he wants
this is on a Labor Day rally, he called on
(04:03):
the citizens of Chicago to def You know what I
want you to hear this. This is the mayor of
our third largest city, Democrat of course, play twenty six.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Are you prepared to defend this layan? This land that
was built by slaves, layan that was built by indigenous people,
layan that's built by workers. Are you prepared to defend
this land? But people deny, you will always prevail. I
(04:33):
need you own to stand firm, to stand strong if
this president decides to continue to break this constitution.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
First of all, is he talking about he's saying Chicago
was built by indigenous people? It actually wasn't. It was
a fort to fighting those indigenous people. But that's a
whole other thing.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Not many slaves involved in the construction of Chicago. Yeah,
just just do a little bit basic historical research. Just
going to toss it out there. Illinois, Land of Lincoln
not exactly known for its huge embrace of slavery. And
again for the history nerds out there, most of Chicago
(05:14):
burned down in the eighteen eighties, so with the famous
cow knocking over the knocking over the lantern, and the
whole city basically burned down. So Chicago was by and
large a city that was built by free people.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Just FYI. So even the argument.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Of this is stolen land and this is enslaved populous,
it's just all bs.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
And I believe that the derivation of the city of
Chicago comes from an algonquin word for an onion like
plant that is quite pungent, chicaqua.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I think that's actually correct. Yes, So there you have it.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
So we named it for something that has indigenous indigenous roots,
but it was not in fact built by as people.
But more to the point, defend your city against the
National Guard.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Who does you think the.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
National Guard is comprised of? Pretty sure it's Americans the
last I checked. And defend the city against them makes
it sound like they're an invading force that's doing bad
things to people.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
They would just be there to assist with law enforcement.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I also, I see all these smug comments in the
DC context, even from commentators out there, saying, you know,
they're not even going into the most dangerous neighborhoods they're
there at at like Union Station. There have been people
shot within blocks of Union Station, robbed at Union Station,
shot in Union Station. This actually happens, and it just
(06:38):
shows that these people have no idea who are making
these comments, what they what they're talking about. But also, yeah,
it turns out that when there are men and women
who have you know, m sixteens and who are there
observing what's going on, people are less likely to pull
out guns and.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Shoot each other. Yes, it's pretty pretty.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Understandable why they say halt you know, you know, and
they they're called the cops on I don't think you
want to open up with your pistol on the National Guard.
There's a reason why bad guys don't want to do
things in front of armed good guys. This is very straightforward.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
And also, even if you're not directly seeing the armed
forces the security apparatus, in the back of your mind,
you're thinking they might be there. Because when you believe
that there are consequences for crime, it makes a criminal
take a pause and think, oh, maybe the risk of
attempting this violent act. Maybe the risk of attempting this
(07:32):
criminal act is one there will be consequences for and
so there are less violent acts that actually are begun
in the first place just by the idea of, hey,
they might catch me.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And this goes to NYPD. Right, if you think I might.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Do something that's not very significant, jump say the turnstile
in a subway, If you think I might get caught
for doing this, you're less likely to accelerate to some
level of crime that is more significant.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
This is why when when they were trying to get
rid of the plane close, there was a high crime
specific plane plain closed unit in the NYPD, and this
became a big political firestorm. It's yeah, because these guys
are very and girls are very useful because if you
don't know that they and the NYPD is very good
(08:23):
at this, by the way, at having people who can
blend in if you don't know that that's a cop
and you're doing something and you're breaking but those those
those plane clothes officers, if you don't break the law,
then ever you don't even know they're there. They don't
bother you. The point is they're there, and it changes
the calculation to your point, Clay, of the bad guys.
(08:44):
I saw something here at Miami Beach, I gotta say
was very Crockett and tubs like very I was very impressed. Uh,
it was a I believe it was a Bentley that
was actually an undercover cop car.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So I've got to assume that it was seized, probably in.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Some kind of a drug bust or something, and they
but it had it was a Bentley with the with
the the bubblegum machine as they call it, with the
blue and red lights or whatever, and pulled somebody over
and some kind of and I was like, you wouldn't
see that one coming, you know, you wouldn't usually think
that was gonna happen. So you know, there's there are
ways to do this that make it very effective policing.
But but I also if Brandon Johnson was a serious person,
(09:24):
I mean, he's seriously dangerous to the city of Chicago
with his policies. But if he was a serious person,
he wouldn't say Trump is evil, let's just let's just
stop Trump. He would say, guys, I have a better
way to bring the crime numbers down. The moment he
starts talking about and every Democrat in a major city
starts talking about they start babbling on about investment, they
(09:44):
start babbling on about social workers.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And it's just it's just nonsense. It's unserious.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
This is why the data coming out of Washington, d C.
Is so important because what it begs the question of
is if Trump could drive down violent crime in DC
by around fifty percent in the three weeks plus that
there have been the distribution of National Guard troops. The
support added, how many people are you willing to let
(10:14):
die because you're angry that Trump is trying to provide
more security to your city.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Or that you're angry that Trump is the president. Let's
just call it what it is.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
People are just saying they hate Trump, They're angry he's president,
and anything he does they want to stop, right. So
it's just a continuation of that.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
One of the challenges with lowering violent crime is you
don't necessarily know what lives you save. There are kids,
and I say kids because tim generally speaking, they're young.
There are kids in school this week in Washington, d C.
That would be dead if Donald Trump had not brought
the National Guard into DC. We don't know who those
(10:51):
kids are, but they are alive today because he did that.
That's what the data reflects. Seven people dead in Chicago.
I give credit to that. Media member fifty four people
shot over Labor Day weekend, and she asked a pretty
basic question, what would you tell people who are afraid
to get on a train from O'Hare to go into
the city. And he immediately pivots to, well, that's not
(11:14):
the real question here. Make look at what Trump is
trying to do. I mean, his argument Buck was he's
not going into red states with higher rates of crime. Well,
first of all, red states by and large don't have
higher rates of crime. Blue cities and red states My
home state of Tennessee is a great example. The crime
rate in Memphis makes the crime rate in the.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Whole state look huge. So if JB.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Pritzker's argument, which begs the question for the follow up
there is, hey, Trump needs to be going into more
red state cities, which are of course blue driven. Aren't
you actually endorsing that his policies make sense? Like when
you're shifting the argument to well, why isn't he going
to Memphis or why isn't he going to New Orleans
or why isn't he going to Kansas City or Saint Louis,
(12:00):
you're actually just legitimizing the fact that it would be successful.
And I give Trump that challenge. Why not do it.
Let's do it everywhere. Let's see if we can drive
down the rate of violent crime in the cities where
violent crime is at the highest, all of whom have
Democrat mayors.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
And I don't want to divert us too much into this,
but it just just a reminder. As I've said, they
deployed the National Guard for COVID at airports and and
all kinds of public venues, as if they were going
to shoot the virus particles in the airs. It was absurd,
it was It was absurd, and they were Democrats were
fine with that, right. Oh read, we need the National
Guard checking your papers, checking your papers everyone for COVID.
(12:40):
That wasn't a police state, they said. That wasn't a
police state. But having National Guard in a federal province,
which is DC, there to just make sure you can
walk down the street and not get shot or carjacked,
that they have a problem. That's tyranny. Someone explained this
to me, right, like, someone explain the logic behind this.
And again, you've got two guys who've lived in DC.
(13:00):
We know stuff would happened in DC. I remember I
had a friend who got robbed the gunpoint and he
was a DoD employee, and they were able to track
This is when we all had black or they all
had black some of them had blackberries, like secure blackberries,
and they were able to track the guy down because
he had the BlackBerry that he was trying to sell.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
You know, like that would just happen though. You just
get someone would.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Pull a gun on you in the nicest neighborhoods of
DC and everyone's like, oh, yeah, it's DC, It's crazy town.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
What can you do?
Speaker 7 (13:26):
All right?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Look, when inflation jumps, you reminded that our national debt
is over thirty seven trillion dollars. So here's the thought,
maybe now's a good time to buy some gold, whether

Speaker 8 (14:42):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton mic drops that never sounded
so good. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck and we've
got caller Kevin in Oklahoma City wants to weigh in
on the issue the other day. What's going on, Kevin,
Good afternoon, Good afternoon, sir.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Yeah, I heard the snippet you played of Jazzuine Crocket
and how she's tried to sound more to you the
bonny or whatever. I don't know what her purpose was,
but if you asked the question, what would black people
(15:27):
think about that? And and I'll live here in Oklahoma
City and most of my family are Democrats. Many of
the black people that I know are Democrats.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
And I will tell you and you you are black, sir, right,
we have. We haven't identified the caller yet. You called,
and you're speaking as a black man.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
I am in Black America, that's correct. And I will
tell you here's the thing, whether you're black, white, most
Democrats they just hate Republicans period, so and especially Donald Trump.
So it doesn't matter how Jasmine Crockett or anyone else
(16:13):
presents themselves, they're going to support it. As long as
what they're saying is against Trump.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
They will think I think that's certainly that part of it,
certainly true.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
They will totally overlook how her speech changes one way
or the other as long as she stays consistently against Trump.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Kevin, can I just ask you, I mean, I agree
with you. I will to Clay away in a second,
but just can you get some of your get some
of your family members listen to Clay and Buck. You know,
see if you can bring them on the team here.
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (16:48):
I would definitely try to get them to listen to
anything that is more conservative. And here's what I will say,
most Black Democrats, if you do, if you are able
to talk to them one on one, you got about
a fifty chance of reasoning with one of them. Because
some will listen and they'll be open. Other black people
(17:13):
are they will die on the hill of hating Republicans
and Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Let me ask you this question. Black men around a
quarter voted Trump according to the data. We got to
be quick here because we're coming up on a break.
Do you feel different conversations now in the wake of
twenty four than maybe you did in sixteen in the
black male community in particular, I don't.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Still it's still about fifty to fifty.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Some people will listen to reason, other ones they only
hate Republicans and they only hate Trump even more. No
matter what facts do you give them, it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the call. Appreciate
everybody weighing in.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Look, we got the NFL and we got college football
off and rolling, and that means prize Picks. You can
play in California, Texas, Florida, Georgia. We're gonna give you picks.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Fifty bucks when you use code Clay.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Lines of Truth.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We've been
talking about Democrats audition different faces of the party going forward,
and certainly I would say Gavin Newsom as awful as
pretty much every decision he has made has been is
right now I think probably the closest thing to a
(19:14):
face of the Democrat Party. And but that's kind of
the Mam Donnie analogy that I would make is Mam
Donnie looks and sounds about the best that the arguments
for the Democrat Party can be. And I think they
sort of have come around that Gavin Newsom is the guy. Obviously,
Mam Donnie not born here, so he's not eligible to
(19:36):
be president. Gavin Newsom is another guy that they are
auditioning is the governor of Maryland, Wesmore. And Uh, there's
a lot of optimism about wes Moore's political future and
they are trying to turn him into a national figure.
He's been feuding a bit with Trump over Baltimore crime
and numbers. And there's a bronze star controversy associated with
(20:02):
wes Moore. He claimed to have gotten a bronze Star
when it did not in fact happened. Buck, I've all
the time this, Yeah, he claimed many times publicly he
was a bronze Star recipient, and as everyone that I
saw weighing in on this one friends of mine from
a military background. Immediately we're saying, you either know you
(20:24):
got a Bronze Star, you didn't. You're in the military,
you know this is not a you know, maybe it
kind of got thrown into the mix. So here is
what it sounded like. He actually got questioned on this
pretty aggressively over the weekend. This was Wes Moore being asked, Hey,
what about this bronze star argument that you made.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Listen you claiming you had a Bronze Star in two
thousand and six when you were applying for a job.
Why did you do that?
Speaker 10 (20:54):
Well, I think it's I'm deeply proud of my stars
to this country, and I know my sol that I
saw with are deeply proud, and the veteran community is
as well. And I think it's pretty common knowledge or
common belief that when you're commanding officers and you're superior officers,
tell you listen, we put you in and we've gone
through everything. So as you're going through your application included
(21:17):
I included it, and I didn't think about it.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
But in two thousand and eight on PBS, they said
they introduced you, Gwen I full saying you had earned
a Bronze Star medal. That's two thousand and eight, twenty ten.
You're on the Colbert Show when he said you had
a Bronze Star. You did not correct him. You had
to know you did not have one.
Speaker 10 (21:39):
Then well it was I did not go back and
you know, go back until the Pentagon. Hey, I was
told to put this on application.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
That's really weak, really weak stuff there on this one play.
And here here's I think what we both know is
going on here. There is a move from the Democrat
establishment to create the pathway, the runway, if you will,
for Wes Moore to be a serious presidential contender. We
(22:10):
called it here on this show days after the last election. Okay,
it's been very clear, you know once once we saw
what happened with Kamala and very clear that this guy
would be a move that would make some sense for
the Democrats. So what they're doing, and of course they'll
path themselves on the bed. This is like the Jake
Tapper book, like they'll pat themselves on the back for
this honesty. It's very clear what they're doing here. They're
(22:32):
trying to just get this out and get this done
so early in the process that then the media can
all tell themselves, oh, this is already He's already addressed it.
It's already been addressed. It's already been addressed. So they're
doing their own OPO as a house cleaning maneuver, if
you will, to make sure that this guy can run.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I will say, when he got introduced, this is something
that maybe you'd go a little bit behind the curtain
here to explain. They told all of those hosts that
he had won a Bronze Star, that he had been
awarded the Bronze Star. Right when you go on Stephen Colbert,
they say, hey, how do you want to be introduced?
(23:14):
And I guarantee you Wes Moore's people said, well, you
can talk about the fact that I served, that I
was awarded a Bronze Star. They gave them that information,
and when they say, oh, you didn't correct it, I
think it's actually more significant than you didn't correct it.
I think he told them he had it. And I
think many of you out there who served and are
(23:37):
familiar with this understand that. I also, again, when you're
introduced at one of these media events, they say, hey,
how do you want to be introduced, like I say, hey,
I'd like to be you know Clay, Travis Clay and
Buck Show also founder of OutKick. I mean that's typically
how people introduce me. He said that he had a
(23:57):
bronze star, and so the idea that he's like, well, well,
you didn't correct it. No, he affirmatively lied in order
for that introduction to happen, so that he could get
credit for something that he had not achieved. Yes, And
I think that in general, in an era where people
are particularly sensitive about misrepresentation of military records because there
(24:21):
have been so many high profile cases. Wasn't they call
him Dang Danang Dick right, Richard Blumenthal? Wasn't he one
that was like back in nam Man, I saw crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
And it's like, you weren't even in nam what are
you talking about? Uh?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
So Blumenthal, the senator out of Connecticut, he's he's one.
There have been others who you know, who just really
went to you know, to to crazy lengths in order
to either inflate their resumes on this stuff. But this
is it's interesting to me, Clay because it shows you
they're trying to get high profile right away, get ahead
of this and make this, make this completely go away. Yeah,
(24:59):
Hillary Clint and saying she landed under sniper fire in Bosnia.
And then they had the video of the little girl
with the with the wreaths of flowers coming out. It's
like if by sniper fire you mean a parade of
people being nice to you.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Also, Wes Moore didn't have to a lot of times
these lies. Really like if he lied and said hey,
I served in the armed forces, then he didn't or
he lied to be fair like Tim Walls lied about
being Remember when he said he was under fire or
whatever the phrase was, and you're like, dude, you were
(25:35):
in Italy.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
You know, I think he served in combat. He was
risking that they ran out of NYUNKI is what he
was risking.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, I mean, look, the the parmesan might not be
might not be still in stock when you need to
have your.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Again, geez, and I want to be I want to
be clear about this too. You don't have to serve
in combat. You have served and served honorably. But as
anyone who has served, and this is why I always
say I served in a rock Russier in Afghanistan and
as a CIA officer or as a civilian analyst, to
be very clear, because I never want to be seen as,
even for a second, conflating military service with what I
(26:10):
did play. I think the people that have done this
stuff are overwhelmingly very one humble about it and two
very clear. For that reason, if you served in Italy,
you were not a combat veteran. Okay, unless you were
serving in Italy in World War Two, you were not
a combat veteran.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And by the way, speaking of Tim Wallas, we also
have a cut of him. We didn't even get into
this during the show over the weekend. Did you even
see any of this? I was primarily focused on college
football over the weekend, so I was, but everybody started saying, oh,
Trump is unhealthy, Trump is near death. Did you see
this thing kind of go viral on social media? It
(26:47):
was trending all weekend, and I was, what is anyone
you know?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
No way?
Speaker 5 (26:53):
And first of all, if anything was off with the president,
you are be getting textan phone calls from people that
are right next to him telling us that there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, there's no way, no problem. I don't even understand.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
It just was the I guess the power of Roumant
or rumor intelligence as people call it.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It made no sense.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
And uh, and then he went golfing, I think with
his granddaughter or grants. He was out golfing all weekend.
And he's going to talk a little bit later that
he'll we'll see what exactly he's going to say. Is
a meeting coming up in the in the Oval office
here shortly, But this was Tim Walls. Listen to what
Tim Wall said about Trump over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
This cut.
Speaker 10 (27:34):
You get up in the morning and you doom scroll
through things.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
And although I will say this, the last few days
you woke up thinking there might be news, just saying
just saying there will be news sometime, just so you
know there will be news.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
What he's referring to is that they were saying Trump
was dead. Yeah, I mean really, I mean to make
a joke about that, as hey hah, the president died.
I mean, pretty awful. He's a sniffling little coward.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
The thing about Walls is he got really well exposed
by Kamala and it also showed you Kamala, who is
a horrible candidate, also has horrible political instincts, which is
and poor judgment. That's what I mean and you know
picked Tim Walls, which what is that? What does that
tell you? It was her choice and everybody was very
clear that it was her choice. She wanted Tim Walls.
Tim Walls was a real, real I think, a real
(28:26):
downside actually on that, on that ticket. Uh, if anything else,
he he opened up a whole new range and it
exposed even more to your point and to your book balls, Yes,
there we go.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
It exposed more of a disconnect that Democrats have about masculinity,
that you could bring this guy out here who normal
guys look at and go.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
He doesn't.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
He doesn't. That doesn't work like his whole you know, Oh,
I'm Tim Walls. Look at me with my big shotgun
in my car heart jacket. It's like like he was
whole thing a ray gun from Mars. Also I wear Camo.
They were like, this is really going to connect with people. No,
I will say this. I still think Kamala is going
to run.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I think what they are trending towards is Gavin Newsom
presidential nominee, Wes Moore vice presidential nominee. And they'll go
east and west coast and they will go They recognize
that they have a significant issue with men. I mean,
the Democrat Party for young men is an insult to
(29:33):
say someone is a Democrat, to say someone is a
Kamala voter, and they have to remake that brand. And
I think they will go west coast, East coast with
probably the two most masculine, young error ish Democrats that
are on the ticket.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I think that will run.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Ah, I was gonna say it was very student analysis,
except for the Kamma will run part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I think they'll go double dude. They did it.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
They did a a speech right near me here in
West Palm Beach. I think it was over the weekend
and it was a conversation. It was a conversation with Kamala.
And you know, I just realized I missed my chance.
I should have gone to the VIP you know, Martiniz
and Chardonay beforehand taking a photo, sat there, had a
chat with with Kamala, just to sort of get her.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I think she'd have no idea who either of us were.
I mean, she's one thing to Nashville too. I think
you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
She's going to Birmingham, Alabama. Who when Birmingham is paying
one thousand dollars to go watch Kamala Harris. I mean
some of these cities I saw and I was like,
really like that's kind of a record scratchy to me.
Give me like a you could do kind of like
a white Guys for Kamala thing where you just you
gotta put some what do they call you gotta put
some You gotta put.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
A man bun Clay, we got a man bun you.
And then and then I think we go with maybe plugs.
You know these things they've seen this. I've never seen
a Republican with plugs in their ears, Like this is
the big round thing that people have. Definitely not voting Republican.
I think with that we're gonna have somebody in the
audience was plugged. No, I just I just got a
where the Future is Female t shirt? Oh yeah, I
(31:03):
don't even need to go super All I got to
do is get my the Future is female t shirt.
I'll go in as the male feminist and I'll just
do I think you got a man bunnet. I think
you future is female t shirt and man bond you could.
They'll probably invite you into VIP session for free, and
you should. I get here for a you know, but Clay.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
You have to tell them.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
I'm just here to listen. I'm just here to listen.
That's what you have to say. Should I go to
the event in Nashville and undercover go, I think we
should talk about this. This would be this is I'm
gonna look up the dates right now.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I might buy the VIP package for the Kamala hair
and by the way, the VIP package for Kamlo and
they'll tell them I might get.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Willie Brown definitely got the v I don't know what
you get. I don't know what's to stop it.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You you you you lock it up, sir. You calm
that down, all right?
Speaker 6 (31:59):
All right.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Look, one of the things I look forward to is
Speed gets older. He's telling them about his family tree.
It's actually true. I have a genealogist out of Tennessee
who's been working all this to go way way back.
But that's like two hundred years back, three hundred years back.
I'm talking about, how can I introduce Speed to his
family tree from grandparents great grandparents. Because there's video and
(32:20):
there's photos and all that cool stuff. This is where
Legacy Box comes in. They make the whole process super easy.
Start by going to their website legacy box dot com
slash buck. They walk you through it step by step.
The best part is being able to rewatch and share
those memories, especially with younger generations who haven't seen them before.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Speed Little Speed.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
He's gonna love seeing all those family stories come to
life from these old videos that were digitally transferred by
Legacy Box, and he can share them with his own
family one day too. Legacy Box has done this for
a million and a half families. He's done this for
my family, the Sextons, He's done this for the travel

Keep up with the biggest political comeback in world history
on the Team forty seven podcast Play in Book, Highlight
Trump Free plays from the week Sundays at noon Eastern.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
Find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
All right, we're closing up shopp today and Clan Buck
having a lot of fun here, I'm sure some of
you have some thoughts, especially on that last segment play.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I looked it up, sir, you look it up with
the VIP package cost. I can't believe this. In my
home city of Nashville, they are renting out the Rhyme
and Auditorium, which is a legendary venue in downtown Nashville.
Cheapest ticket four hundred and thirty nine dollars. Most expensive
(33:50):
ticket two thousand, seven hundred and sixty one dollars. This
is more expensive than a Super Bowl ticket would be
sometimes on face value. I cannot believe that this thing
could actually sell out. And I will provide if you'll
get your ticket, I will provide you with a Future
(34:11):
is Female fitted T shirt for you to go in
and and and the little scrunchy for your man bun.
And I think we're onto something here.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Team.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
We'd have to find a way to be a They
probably wouldn't let you record as the problem, so I'd
have to see what the laws are in Tennessee about
could you just walk around in a public venue like
with recording those Google glasses on or something, because that
would be incredible to be in the view of Clay
Travis at the Kamala event with people coming up to
you like aren't you the aren't you the First Amendment?
(34:40):
And boobs guy like it would just be to watch
their brains melt in real time. I'm saying, we're onto something.
I think I maybe needed to go.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
By the way, Trump alive and well and hosting a
press conference right now in the White House. They have
announced that the US Space Command headquarters is moving to Huntsville, Alabama,
a great town just down the road from where I am.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Julia and Florida want to close the show with you. Hi,
How you guys doing great?
Speaker 12 (36:00):
I called in because I was just so angry about
the Wes Moore segment because my father died twenty years
ago and I just went to apply for VAB benefits
for my mom because she's possibly need to go into
a nursing home. And I had to get all the
discharge papers together and I'm reading the discharge papers. My
dad was awarded three bronze stars. He never spoke about it.
(36:22):
Both me and my brother were like what, And We're
like to my mom, where are they?
Speaker 8 (36:26):
She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 12 (36:28):
They were lost a long time ago. And so here's
my dad, who loved this country and he was a
great man in his own right. He did not need
to tell lies about his service to pump himself up.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I love this, Julia, and we got to come up
on a heart out.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Will you stay on I bet somebody in the government
can get you those bronze stars for your dad and
his honor, if you'll stay on with us.
Again Tuesday edition.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We hope all of you had fantastic Labor Day weekends.
We are back rolling with all of you as we
officially enter into the fall calendar season with a lot
to discuss. Encourage you, as always go subscribe to the
show on YouTube. We are going to be putting more
(00:22):
hours of the show up on YouTube in the months ahead,
and you were going to be able to keep up
with us there. That will actually be a great way
to keep track of the show, as will following us
on basically any social media platform out there. You can
find me, you can find Buck, you can find the
Clay and Buck Show. We are across the entire landscape,
(00:46):
and as we start off the third hour here, I
do think looking at Chicago as an example of the
Democrat Party having lost its way and Trump uniquely hitting
on a story that intuitively is very positive, which is
I want to drive down the rate of violent crime
(01:08):
across the country.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Too many people are getting murdered, too many people are
getting beaten up. Too many people are getting carjacked, having
their property stolen. All of this would be a really
good resolution.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
This morning, JB. Pritzker was walking and being interviewed during
his walk, and he dodged a question about the extreme
rate of violence that took place in Chicago over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This is cut twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
You're going to hear people, especially pat this past week
at fifty four shot seven dead. They're going to say
the city's not safe. Would you ask your friends to
ride the l after midnight or after nine o'clock at night,
even to come down to the city from O'Hare.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Look, big cities have crime, there's no doubt about it.
But let's just to what President Trump is doing targeting show.
He's overlooking red states that have much higher crime rates.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, this is a really bad argument. Now, if Pritzker
wants to argue that in blue cities in red states
there are also super high crime rates and the National
Guard should be called in there too, I echo it Memphis,
in my home state, I would welcome the National Guard.
(02:29):
I think a lot of you listening in Kansas City
or Saint Louis or New Orleans would welcome the National
Guard in your city's to drive down rates of violent crime.
We're going to play a couple of other cuts. Brandon Johnson,
the mayor, but Buck, this is an example of trying
to make an argument that is very difficult and ultimately
comes down to I'm concerned that Trump is exercising too
(02:51):
much power in his effort to drive down violent crime
in my community. That is effectively what Trump has got
Democrats arguing.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
It's, like I said, a win from both sides of
the issue, as in, Trump is doing an objectively good thing, right,
not even a politically good thing, an objectively good thing,
and the politics of it are favorable to Trump because
the Democrats are are coming out and they just refuse
to say what we all know. I mean, they refuse
(03:22):
to see the reality, which is that it just it
really has to start from this premise clay of it
doesn't have to be this way. We don't actually have
to have you know, five hundred murders a year in
Chicago and five or six hundred murders a year in Philadelphia,
and you look at some of the recent some of
the recent tallies in these cities. It's just simply unacceptable.
(03:42):
And it's year in and year out. This could be changed.
Trump wants to change it. And and you know, you
had the the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson. I mean
this is just the kind of stuff that you're gonna
hear from some of these Democrats. He's saying he wants
this is on a Labor Day rally, he called on
(04:03):
the citizens of Chicago to def You know what I
want you to hear this. This is the mayor of
our third largest city, Democrat of course, play twenty six.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Are you prepared to defend this layan? This land that
was built by slaves, layan that was built by indigenous people,
layan that's built by workers. Are you prepared to defend
this land? But people deny, you will always prevail. I
(04:33):
need you own to stand firm, to stand strong if
this president decides to continue to break this constitution.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
First of all, is he talking about he's saying Chicago
was built by indigenous people? It actually wasn't. It was
a fort to fighting those indigenous people. But that's a
whole other thing.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Not many slaves involved in the construction of Chicago. Yeah,
just just do a little bit basic historical research. Just
going to toss it out there. Illinois, Land of Lincoln
not exactly known for its huge embrace of slavery. And
again for the history nerds out there, most of Chicago
(05:14):
burned down in the eighteen eighties, so with the famous
cow knocking over the knocking over the lantern, and the
whole city basically burned down. So Chicago was by and
large a city that was built by free people.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Just FYI. So even the argument.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Of this is stolen land and this is enslaved populous,
it's just all bs.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
And I believe that the derivation of the city of
Chicago comes from an algonquin word for an onion like
plant that is quite pungent, chicaqua.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I think that's actually correct. Yes, So there you have it.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
So we named it for something that has indigenous indigenous roots,
but it was not in fact built by as people.
But more to the point, defend your city against the
National Guard.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Who does you think the.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
National Guard is comprised of? Pretty sure it's Americans the
last I checked. And defend the city against them makes
it sound like they're an invading force that's doing bad
things to people.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
They would just be there to assist with law enforcement.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I also, I see all these smug comments in the
DC context, even from commentators out there, saying, you know,
they're not even going into the most dangerous neighborhoods they're
there at at like Union Station. There have been people
shot within blocks of Union Station, robbed at Union Station,
shot in Union Station. This actually happens, and it just
(06:38):
shows that these people have no idea who are making
these comments, what they what they're talking about. But also, yeah,
it turns out that when there are men and women
who have you know, m sixteens and who are there
observing what's going on, people are less likely to pull
out guns and.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Shoot each other. Yes, it's pretty pretty.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Understandable why they say halt you know, you know, and
they they're called the cops on I don't think you
want to open up with your pistol on the National Guard.
There's a reason why bad guys don't want to do
things in front of armed good guys. This is very straightforward.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
And also, even if you're not directly seeing the armed
forces the security apparatus, in the back of your mind,
you're thinking they might be there. Because when you believe
that there are consequences for crime, it makes a criminal
take a pause and think, oh, maybe the risk of
attempting this violent act. Maybe the risk of attempting this
(07:32):
criminal act is one there will be consequences for and
so there are less violent acts that actually are begun
in the first place just by the idea of, hey,
they might catch me.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And this goes to NYPD. Right, if you think I might.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Do something that's not very significant, jump say the turnstile
in a subway, If you think I might get caught
for doing this, you're less likely to accelerate to some
level of crime that is more significant.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
This is why when when they were trying to get
rid of the plane close, there was a high crime
specific plane plain closed unit in the NYPD, and this
became a big political firestorm. It's yeah, because these guys
are very and girls are very useful because if you
don't know that they and the NYPD is very good
(08:23):
at this, by the way, at having people who can
blend in if you don't know that that's a cop
and you're doing something and you're breaking but those those
those plane clothes officers, if you don't break the law,
then ever you don't even know they're there. They don't
bother you. The point is they're there, and it changes
the calculation to your point, Clay, of the bad guys.
(08:44):
I saw something here at Miami Beach, I gotta say
was very Crockett and tubs like very I was very impressed. Uh,
it was a I believe it was a Bentley that
was actually an undercover cop car.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So I've got to assume that it was seized, probably in.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Some kind of a drug bust or something, and they
but it had it was a Bentley with the with
the the bubblegum machine as they call it, with the
blue and red lights or whatever, and pulled somebody over
and some kind of and I was like, you wouldn't
see that one coming, you know, you wouldn't usually think
that was gonna happen. So you know, there's there are
ways to do this that make it very effective policing.
But but I also if Brandon Johnson was a serious person,
(09:24):
I mean, he's seriously dangerous to the city of Chicago
with his policies. But if he was a serious person,
he wouldn't say Trump is evil, let's just let's just
stop Trump. He would say, guys, I have a better
way to bring the crime numbers down. The moment he
starts talking about and every Democrat in a major city
starts talking about they start babbling on about investment, they
(09:44):
start babbling on about social workers.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And it's just it's just nonsense. It's unserious.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
This is why the data coming out of Washington, d C.
Is so important because what it begs the question of
is if Trump could drive down violent crime in DC
by around fifty percent in the three weeks plus that
there have been the distribution of National Guard troops. The
support added, how many people are you willing to let
(10:14):
die because you're angry that Trump is trying to provide
more security to your city.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Or that you're angry that Trump is the president. Let's
just call it what it is.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
People are just saying they hate Trump, They're angry he's president,
and anything he does they want to stop, right. So
it's just a continuation of that.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
One of the challenges with lowering violent crime is you
don't necessarily know what lives you save. There are kids,
and I say kids because tim generally speaking, they're young.
There are kids in school this week in Washington, d C.
That would be dead if Donald Trump had not brought
the National Guard into DC. We don't know who those
(10:51):
kids are, but they are alive today because he did that.
That's what the data reflects. Seven people dead in Chicago.
I give credit to that. Media member fifty four people
shot over Labor Day weekend, and she asked a pretty
basic question, what would you tell people who are afraid
to get on a train from O'Hare to go into
the city. And he immediately pivots to, well, that's not
(11:14):
the real question here. Make look at what Trump is
trying to do. I mean, his argument Buck was he's
not going into red states with higher rates of crime. Well,
first of all, red states by and large don't have
higher rates of crime. Blue cities and red states My
home state of Tennessee is a great example. The crime
rate in Memphis makes the crime rate in the.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Whole state look huge. So if JB.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Pritzker's argument, which begs the question for the follow up
there is, hey, Trump needs to be going into more
red state cities, which are of course blue driven. Aren't
you actually endorsing that his policies make sense? Like when
you're shifting the argument to well, why isn't he going
to Memphis or why isn't he going to New Orleans
or why isn't he going to Kansas City or Saint Louis,
(12:00):
you're actually just legitimizing the fact that it would be successful.
And I give Trump that challenge. Why not do it.
Let's do it everywhere. Let's see if we can drive
down the rate of violent crime in the cities where
violent crime is at the highest, all of whom have
Democrat mayors.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
And I don't want to divert us too much into this,
but it just just a reminder. As I've said, they
deployed the National Guard for COVID at airports and and
all kinds of public venues, as if they were going
to shoot the virus particles in the airs. It was absurd,
it was It was absurd, and they were Democrats were
fine with that, right. Oh read, we need the National
Guard checking your papers, checking your papers everyone for COVID.
(12:40):
That wasn't a police state, they said. That wasn't a
police state. But having National Guard in a federal province,
which is DC, there to just make sure you can
walk down the street and not get shot or carjacked,
that they have a problem. That's tyranny. Someone explained this
to me, right, like, someone explain the logic behind this.
And again, you've got two guys who've lived in DC.
(13:00):
We know stuff would happened in DC. I remember I
had a friend who got robbed the gunpoint and he
was a DoD employee, and they were able to track
This is when we all had black or they all
had black some of them had blackberries, like secure blackberries,
and they were able to track the guy down because
he had the BlackBerry that he was trying to sell.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
You know, like that would just happen though. You just
get someone would.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Pull a gun on you in the nicest neighborhoods of
DC and everyone's like, oh, yeah, it's DC, It's crazy town.

Speaker 8 (14:42):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton mic drops that never sounded
so good. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck and we've
got caller Kevin in Oklahoma City wants to weigh in
on the issue the other day. What's going on, Kevin,
Good afternoon, Good afternoon, sir.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Yeah, I heard the snippet you played of Jazzuine Crocket
and how she's tried to sound more to you the
bonny or whatever. I don't know what her purpose was,
but if you asked the question, what would black people
(15:27):
think about that? And and I'll live here in Oklahoma
City and most of my family are Democrats. Many of
the black people that I know are Democrats.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
And I will tell you and you you are black, sir, right,
we have. We haven't identified the caller yet. You called,
and you're speaking as a black man.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
I am in Black America, that's correct. And I will
tell you here's the thing, whether you're black, white, most
Democrats they just hate Republicans period, so and especially Donald Trump.
So it doesn't matter how Jasmine Crockett or anyone else
(16:13):
presents themselves, they're going to support it. As long as
what they're saying is against Trump.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
They will think I think that's certainly that part of it,
certainly true.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
They will totally overlook how her speech changes one way
or the other as long as she stays consistently against Trump.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Kevin, can I just ask you, I mean, I agree
with you. I will to Clay away in a second,
but just can you get some of your get some
of your family members listen to Clay and Buck. You know,
see if you can bring them on the team here.
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (16:48):
I would definitely try to get them to listen to
anything that is more conservative. And here's what I will say,
most Black Democrats, if you do, if you are able
to talk to them one on one, you got about
a fifty chance of reasoning with one of them. Because
some will listen and they'll be open. Other black people
(17:13):
are they will die on the hill of hating Republicans
and Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Let me ask you this question. Black men around a
quarter voted Trump according to the data. We got to
be quick here because we're coming up on a break.
Do you feel different conversations now in the wake of
twenty four than maybe you did in sixteen in the
black male community in particular, I don't.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Still it's still about fifty to fifty.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Some people will listen to reason, other ones they only
hate Republicans and they only hate Trump even more. No
matter what facts do you give them, it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the call. Appreciate
everybody weighing in.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Look, we got the NFL and we got college football
off and rolling, and that means prize Picks. You can

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Fifty bucks when you use code Clay.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Lines of Truth.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We've been
talking about Democrats audition different faces of the party going forward,
and certainly I would say Gavin Newsom as awful as
pretty much every decision he has made has been is
right now I think probably the closest thing to a
(19:14):
face of the Democrat Party. And but that's kind of
the Mam Donnie analogy that I would make is Mam
Donnie looks and sounds about the best that the arguments
for the Democrat Party can be. And I think they
sort of have come around that Gavin Newsom is the guy. Obviously,
Mam Donnie not born here, so he's not eligible to
(19:36):
be president. Gavin Newsom is another guy that they are
auditioning is the governor of Maryland, Wesmore. And Uh, there's
a lot of optimism about wes Moore's political future and
they are trying to turn him into a national figure.
He's been feuding a bit with Trump over Baltimore crime
and numbers. And there's a bronze star controversy associated with
(20:02):
wes Moore. He claimed to have gotten a bronze Star
when it did not in fact happened. Buck, I've all
the time this, Yeah, he claimed many times publicly he
was a bronze Star recipient, and as everyone that I
saw weighing in on this one friends of mine from
a military background. Immediately we're saying, you either know you
(20:24):
got a Bronze Star, you didn't. You're in the military,
you know this is not a you know, maybe it
kind of got thrown into the mix. So here is
what it sounded like. He actually got questioned on this
pretty aggressively over the weekend. This was Wes Moore being asked, Hey,
what about this bronze star argument that you made.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Listen you claiming you had a Bronze Star in two
thousand and six when you were applying for a job.
Why did you do that?
Speaker 10 (20:54):
Well, I think it's I'm deeply proud of my stars
to this country, and I know my sol that I
saw with are deeply proud, and the veteran community is
as well. And I think it's pretty common knowledge or
common belief that when you're commanding officers and you're superior officers,
tell you listen, we put you in and we've gone
through everything. So as you're going through your application included
(21:17):
I included it, and I didn't think about it.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
But in two thousand and eight on PBS, they said
they introduced you, Gwen I full saying you had earned
a Bronze Star medal. That's two thousand and eight, twenty ten.
You're on the Colbert Show when he said you had
a Bronze Star. You did not correct him. You had
to know you did not have one.
Speaker 10 (21:39):
Then well it was I did not go back and
you know, go back until the Pentagon. Hey, I was
told to put this on application.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
That's really weak, really weak stuff there on this one play.
And here here's I think what we both know is
going on here. There is a move from the Democrat
establishment to create the pathway, the runway, if you will,
for Wes Moore to be a serious presidential contender. We
(22:10):
called it here on this show days after the last election. Okay,
it's been very clear, you know once once we saw
what happened with Kamala and very clear that this guy
would be a move that would make some sense for
the Democrats. So what they're doing, and of course they'll
path themselves on the bed. This is like the Jake
Tapper book, like they'll pat themselves on the back for
this honesty. It's very clear what they're doing here. They're
(22:32):
trying to just get this out and get this done
so early in the process that then the media can
all tell themselves, oh, this is already He's already addressed it.
It's already been addressed. It's already been addressed. So they're
doing their own OPO as a house cleaning maneuver, if
you will, to make sure that this guy can run.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I will say, when he got introduced, this is something
that maybe you'd go a little bit behind the curtain
here to explain. They told all of those hosts that
he had won a Bronze Star, that he had been
awarded the Bronze Star. Right when you go on Stephen Colbert,
they say, hey, how do you want to be introduced?
(23:14):
And I guarantee you Wes Moore's people said, well, you
can talk about the fact that I served, that I
was awarded a Bronze Star. They gave them that information,
and when they say, oh, you didn't correct it, I
think it's actually more significant than you didn't correct it.
I think he told them he had it. And I
think many of you out there who served and are
(23:37):
familiar with this understand that. I also, again, when you're
introduced at one of these media events, they say, hey,
how do you want to be introduced, like I say, hey,
I'd like to be you know Clay, Travis Clay and
Buck Show also founder of OutKick. I mean that's typically
how people introduce me. He said that he had a
(23:57):
bronze star, and so the idea that he's like, well, well,
you didn't correct it. No, he affirmatively lied in order
for that introduction to happen, so that he could get
credit for something that he had not achieved. Yes, And
I think that in general, in an era where people
are particularly sensitive about misrepresentation of military records because there
(24:21):
have been so many high profile cases. Wasn't they call
him Dang Danang Dick right, Richard Blumenthal? Wasn't he one
that was like back in nam Man, I saw crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
And it's like, you weren't even in nam what are
you talking about? Uh?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
So Blumenthal, the senator out of Connecticut, he's he's one.
There have been others who you know, who just really
went to you know, to to crazy lengths in order
to either inflate their resumes on this stuff. But this
is it's interesting to me, Clay because it shows you
they're trying to get high profile right away, get ahead
of this and make this, make this completely go away. Yeah,
(24:59):
Hillary Clint and saying she landed under sniper fire in Bosnia.
And then they had the video of the little girl
with the with the wreaths of flowers coming out. It's
like if by sniper fire you mean a parade of
people being nice to you.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Also, Wes Moore didn't have to a lot of times
these lies. Really like if he lied and said hey,
I served in the armed forces, then he didn't or
he lied to be fair like Tim Walls lied about
being Remember when he said he was under fire or
whatever the phrase was, and you're like, dude, you were
(25:35):
in Italy.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
You know, I think he served in combat. He was
risking that they ran out of NYUNKI is what he
was risking.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, I mean, look, the the parmesan might not be
might not be still in stock when you need to
have your.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Again, geez, and I want to be I want to
be clear about this too. You don't have to serve
in combat. You have served and served honorably. But as
anyone who has served, and this is why I always
say I served in a rock Russier in Afghanistan and
as a CIA officer or as a civilian analyst, to
be very clear, because I never want to be seen as,
even for a second, conflating military service with what I
(26:10):
did play. I think the people that have done this
stuff are overwhelmingly very one humble about it and two
very clear. For that reason, if you served in Italy,
you were not a combat veteran. Okay, unless you were
serving in Italy in World War Two, you were not
a combat veteran.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And by the way, speaking of Tim Wallas, we also
have a cut of him. We didn't even get into
this during the show over the weekend. Did you even
see any of this? I was primarily focused on college
football over the weekend, so I was, but everybody started saying, oh,
Trump is unhealthy, Trump is near death. Did you see
this thing kind of go viral on social media? It
(26:47):
was trending all weekend, and I was, what is anyone
you know?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
No way?
Speaker 5 (26:53):
And first of all, if anything was off with the president,
you are be getting textan phone calls from people that
are right next to him telling us that there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, there's no way, no problem. I don't even understand.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
It just was the I guess the power of Roumant
or rumor intelligence as people call it.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It made no sense.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
And uh, and then he went golfing, I think with
his granddaughter or grants. He was out golfing all weekend.
And he's going to talk a little bit later that
he'll we'll see what exactly he's going to say. Is
a meeting coming up in the in the Oval office
here shortly, But this was Tim Walls. Listen to what
Tim Wall said about Trump over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
This cut.
Speaker 10 (27:34):
You get up in the morning and you doom scroll
through things.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
And although I will say this, the last few days
you woke up thinking there might be news, just saying
just saying there will be news sometime, just so you
know there will be news.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
What he's referring to is that they were saying Trump
was dead. Yeah, I mean really, I mean to make
a joke about that, as hey hah, the president died.
I mean, pretty awful. He's a sniffling little coward.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
The thing about Walls is he got really well exposed
by Kamala and it also showed you Kamala, who is
a horrible candidate, also has horrible political instincts, which is
and poor judgment. That's what I mean and you know
picked Tim Walls, which what is that? What does that
tell you? It was her choice and everybody was very
clear that it was her choice. She wanted Tim Walls.
Tim Walls was a real, real I think, a real
(28:26):
downside actually on that, on that ticket. Uh, if anything else,
he he opened up a whole new range and it
exposed even more to your point and to your book balls, Yes,
there we go.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
It exposed more of a disconnect that Democrats have about masculinity,
that you could bring this guy out here who normal
guys look at and go.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
He doesn't.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
He doesn't. That doesn't work like his whole you know, Oh,
I'm Tim Walls. Look at me with my big shotgun
in my car heart jacket. It's like like he was
whole thing a ray gun from Mars. Also I wear Camo.
They were like, this is really going to connect with people. No,
I will say this. I still think Kamala is going
to run.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I think what they are trending towards is Gavin Newsom
presidential nominee, Wes Moore vice presidential nominee. And they'll go
east and west coast and they will go They recognize
that they have a significant issue with men. I mean,
the Democrat Party for young men is an insult to
(29:33):
say someone is a Democrat, to say someone is a
Kamala voter, and they have to remake that brand. And
I think they will go west coast, East coast with
probably the two most masculine, young error ish Democrats that
are on the ticket.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I think that will run.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Ah, I was gonna say it was very student analysis,
except for the Kamma will run part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I think they'll go double dude. They did it.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
They did a a speech right near me here in
West Palm Beach. I think it was over the weekend
and it was a conversation. It was a conversation with Kamala.
And you know, I just realized I missed my chance.
I should have gone to the VIP you know, Martiniz
and Chardonay beforehand taking a photo, sat there, had a
chat with with Kamala, just to sort of get her.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I think she'd have no idea who either of us were.
I mean, she's one thing to Nashville too. I think
you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
She's going to Birmingham, Alabama. Who when Birmingham is paying
one thousand dollars to go watch Kamala Harris. I mean
some of these cities I saw and I was like,
really like that's kind of a record scratchy to me.
Give me like a you could do kind of like
a white Guys for Kamala thing where you just you
gotta put some what do they call you gotta put
some You gotta put.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
A man bun Clay, we got a man bun you.
And then and then I think we go with maybe plugs.
You know these things they've seen this. I've never seen
a Republican with plugs in their ears, Like this is
the big round thing that people have. Definitely not voting Republican.
I think with that we're gonna have somebody in the
audience was plugged. No, I just I just got a
where the Future is Female t shirt? Oh yeah, I
(31:03):
don't even need to go super All I got to
do is get my the Future is female t shirt.
I'll go in as the male feminist and I'll just
do I think you got a man bunnet. I think
you future is female t shirt and man bond you could.
They'll probably invite you into VIP session for free, and
you should. I get here for a you know, but Clay.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
You have to tell them.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
I'm just here to listen. I'm just here to listen.
That's what you have to say. Should I go to
the event in Nashville and undercover go, I think we
should talk about this. This would be this is I'm
gonna look up the dates right now.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I might buy the VIP package for the Kamala hair
and by the way, the VIP package for Kamlo and
they'll tell them I might get.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Willie Brown definitely got the v I don't know what
you get. I don't know what's to stop it.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You you you you lock it up, sir. You calm
that down, all right?
Speaker 6 (31:59):
All right.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Look, one of the things I look forward to is
Speed gets older. He's telling them about his family tree.
It's actually true. I have a genealogist out of Tennessee
who's been working all this to go way way back.
But that's like two hundred years back, three hundred years back.
I'm talking about, how can I introduce Speed to his
family tree from grandparents great grandparents. Because there's video and
(32:20):
there's photos and all that cool stuff. This is where
Legacy Box comes in. They make the whole process super easy.
Start by going to their website legacy box dot com

Speaker 5 (33:21):
All right, we're closing up shopp today and Clan Buck
having a lot of fun here, I'm sure some of
you have some thoughts, especially on that last segment play.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I looked it up, sir, you look it up with
the VIP package cost. I can't believe this. In my
home city of Nashville, they are renting out the Rhyme
and Auditorium, which is a legendary venue in downtown Nashville.
Cheapest ticket four hundred and thirty nine dollars. Most expensive
(33:50):
ticket two thousand, seven hundred and sixty one dollars. This
is more expensive than a Super Bowl ticket would be
sometimes on face value. I cannot believe that this thing
could actually sell out. And I will provide if you'll
get your ticket, I will provide you with a Future
(34:11):
is Female fitted T shirt for you to go in
and and and the little scrunchy for your man bun.
And I think we're onto something here.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Team.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
We'd have to find a way to be a They
probably wouldn't let you record as the problem, so I'd
have to see what the laws are in Tennessee about
could you just walk around in a public venue like
with recording those Google glasses on or something, because that
would be incredible to be in the view of Clay
Travis at the Kamala event with people coming up to
you like aren't you the aren't you the First Amendment?
(34:40):
And boobs guy like it would just be to watch
their brains melt in real time. I'm saying, we're onto something.
I think I maybe needed to go.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
By the way, Trump alive and well and hosting a
press conference right now in the White House. They have
announced that the US Space Command headquarters is moving to Huntsville, Alabama,
a great town just down the road from where I am.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
And it will be known as Rocket City.
Speaker 2 (35:06):

Julia and Florida want to close the show with you. Hi,
How you guys doing great?
Speaker 12 (36:00):
I called in because I was just so angry about
the Wes Moore segment because my father died twenty years
ago and I just went to apply for VAB benefits
for my mom because she's possibly need to go into
a nursing home. And I had to get all the
discharge papers together and I'm reading the discharge papers. My
dad was awarded three bronze stars. He never spoke about it.
(36:22):
Both me and my brother were like what, And We're
like to my mom, where are they?
Speaker 8 (36:26):
She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 12 (36:28):
They were lost a long time ago. And so here's
my dad, who loved this country and he was a
great man in his own right. He did not need
to tell lies about his service to pump himself up.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I love this, Julia, and we got to come up
on a heart out.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Will you stay on I bet somebody in the government
can get you those bronze stars for your dad and
his honor, if you'll stay on with us.
