Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in everybody. Third hour of play and Bock
kicks off. Now, Wisconsin battleground Wisconsin. Is there a state
that is more important to the future of this country
in terms of the twenty twenty four election. You add
the Senate race into the mix, you can certainly make
the case Wisconsin is top of the heap. It's Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
(00:22):
I think in most people's reckoning. Well, we got a
guy joining right now who certainly knows how the fight
is going on the ground in the Badger's state. Eric
Hovedy is with us now. He is successful businessman and
a lifelong Wisconsin knight who is running for Senate there
against Tammy Baldwin, the Democrat swamp machine creature. So tell
(00:46):
us what's going on, Eric, how's it looking for you
in this Senate race and in Wisconsin more generally for
the election.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, you're exactly right, Buck, you know we're ground central.
Thanks for going. Well, look, Wisconsin's the cenator right state
and like everybody else around the country, by Noomics has
been a disaster, which Senator Baldwin supported him, voted with
(01:14):
him literally ninety five point five percent of the time.
You know, you've now got a perfect trifecta. You've got
Vice President Harris, who I think we all know is lacking,
but was voted the most extreme liberal senator in the
US Senate when she was there. Then we got the
(01:34):
governor of Minnesota, Tim Walt, who literally is the most
liberal governor in our country. And then we got Senator Baldwin,
who has voted the second most liberal senator. And you
know what, the policies that they've pushed through is destroying America.
Let's just be honest about that. The economic damage. Real
(01:55):
wages have gone down over the last three years by
two point two percent. We've never had a year period
of time where real wages have gone down. They opened
our southern border, Our state has been impacted like every
other state, fentanyl crisis, crime issues, impacting the excess to
healthcare and housing. You could go on with the litany
(02:15):
of problems that they brought, and then you look at
their their their policies, and their morals. They all support
boys competing in girls sports, they all support men going
into females bathrooms, and they all support transgendering our children.
It's insanity. Senator Baldwin, just so all your viewers and
(02:39):
listeners understand how extreme she is. She gave our taxpayer
money in an earmark to a clinic here in Madison,
Wisconsin that affirms kids and helps them go through the
transgender process without telling their parents. Now, think of that one.
It's the same nonsense that's Senator Governor Walt where he
(03:01):
signed that bill. If parents don't agree with their children
going through that transgender process, that they can be taken
away from them. So you got a perfect trifecta of
just crazy ass liberals. But I think the good people
of Wisconsin are going to figure this out.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I certainly hope so. But you know, you also can
shed some particular light on the realities of the Governor
Tim Walls administration. You know, I had a friend of mine,
Ryan Kurdusky, on the show earlier in the week, and
he talked about how there have been now the population
of Minnesota, population Wisconsin is not that you know, that's
(03:40):
kind of a medium sized state. He said, there have
been tens of thousands of Minnesotans who have just said
I'm done with Minnesota and fled to your state, Wisconsin
because of what Walls has done. What can you tell
us about this.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
That's true. And if you talk to Congressman Tom Tiffany,
whose district is up there in the northwest that buttresses Minnesota,
he talks endlessly about that. It's no different than what's
happening in Montana and Idaho and places like that, where
Californians are saying, this is just insane. I'm getting out,
I can't take it anymore. Well, look at what Governor
(04:16):
Waltz did. I mean the BLM movement. They've destroyed Minneapolis.
Downtown Minneapolis is a ghost town to what it used
to be. The crazy policies. They passed an abortion bill
that literally allows a baby to be killed up into
the point of delivery, just like California. Did you know
(04:39):
you wouldn't think this craziness would be happening in Minnesota.
But you know that's how extreme this guy is, and
he's right over our border. But he fits with Senator Baldwin.
She supports all the same crazy stuff. So yeah, I
don't think it helped them in the state of Wisconsin
by picking him as the VP. Harris herself in the
(05:03):
state of Wisconsin, without question.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
We're talking to Eric Hovedy, He's running against Tammy Baldwin
in Wisconsin. And it's funny, Tammy Baldwin and Eric We've
discussed this before, but she really exemplifies that Democrat machine
politician who speaks with a Midwestern accent but votes with
a Pelosi communist flair. You know what I mean. She's
(05:26):
somebody who goes along. Oh she's one of the Wisconsinites,
but then she goes along with what the coastal elites
of the Democrat Party want ninety five percent of the time.
Let's speak about the border issue, though, because this is
I think a major vulnerability for Democrats nationwide, including Tammy Baldwin.
It's top of the list of concerns, right behind the economy,
(05:48):
which he touched on a little bit already. How does
the border crisis, because you know, we're not really worried
that much about what's going on to the north with Canada.
We're really thinking about the southern border. How does that,
in fact, the situation of wisconsinines.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
In all ways. I call it a rotten onion. Now
why do I call it an onion? Because there's many layers.
So when you bring in anywhere from a minimum of
ten million to his high as sixteen million illegal immigrants
when our state is already struggling with providing affordable housing
and access and affordable healthcare. Now you've just compounded that
(06:26):
problem by bringing all these people in. They dumped one
thousand people on a little town called Whitewater of about
twelve thousand people, and immediately it really caused problems with schooling,
access to healthcare, and housing. The second issue is crime.
When an illegal immigrant kill his own two children here
two weeks ago in the state, but there's crime problems popping.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Up all over.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
National media is not touching it anymore because they know
what causes blowback for the Democrats. But probably the biggest
issue is the fentanyl crisis. Our state has been hamm
by that, like every other place, the amount of young
people that have been poisoned by this drug that gets
created and China sent to the drug cartels in Mexico
and brought up over our southern border, and they have
(07:12):
done nothing about it. So, yeah, Senator Baldwin, you're exactly right,
rubber stamp for the left. She's a complete hypocrite, says
she's against Wall Street, and yet she's sleeping with Wall Street.
Her partner who's a wealth manager to the uber wealthy
and private equity set. She spends all her time in
New York and DC raises her money out of California
(07:35):
in New York, and she's just a rubber stamp and
a complete hypocrite. Tries to run back in our stata
as kind of this moderate but you know, trying to
act like a chameleon. But she's far from it. But
the border is, without question the second biggest issue after
the economy.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What kind of money are the Democrats pouring into this
Senate race, because they know, I mean, this is if
you can take down Baldwin, that's a huge win for
the Republicans. They've got to be aware of what the
stakes are. Certainly, whenever it comes to power and holding
on to it, Democrats are very focused. What kind of
money is going into this What kind of national media
(08:15):
and local media buys are you seeing? I mean, I
just want to give everyone a sense of how much
of a focus your race in Wisconsin is getting, even
far beyond the boundaries of your state.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, it tells you I'm over the target because I
was the very first Republican Senate candidate to be hit
by Chuck Schumer. And they've spent more money on me
than any Republican candidate now Bernie Marino in Ohio. They
may have caught up at this point, but up to
three weeks ago, they had spent more money attacking me
(08:47):
than any place else you turn on the television, all
it is is one made up lie, mischaracterization. I can't
even go on with the nonsense that they have spread.
You know, I'm fighting hard. I've made a big investment
in my campaign, but I need help. I'll be honest
with you, everybody out there listening. If you want to
(09:09):
not only change the Senate and swap out a extreme
leftist socialist senator with somebody who's a conservative business person
who loves this country because I'm very patriotic, then then
please some money this way. And if I do well,
I can help President Trump like he can help me.
(09:29):
So go to Eric E. R I, C HUB D
H O VD dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
What is the single just one last one for you here, Eric, uh,
the the single piece of legislation that would do that
would have an economic impact that you hope you'll be
a part of passing in President Trump. I know, assuming
we have the House too, but let's say we have
the House, we have the Senate, we have President Trump
in four more years. What's the first piece of legislation
(09:59):
you would want want him to sign so that the
economy gets back to what we were used to before
the Biden Harris disaster.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, from an economic standpoint, look the two big things
that have to get done, and there's two. Number one
is we got to extend the tax cuts for the
small and medium sized businesses because they're going to shoot
way up and it puts them at a competitive disadvantage
against the big giant corporations, and we want to leave
that money in the private sector. The other issue is
we need a big deregulatory push. Businesses are being choked
(10:32):
to death by regulation and that plays a role in
creating inflation with all the money that they've spent and
money printing the Federal Reserve has done. So we've got
to stop the crazy spending and then we've got to
deregulate the economy to get our economic growth really booming.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Go to Eric Huvedy dot com Hovde if you want
to help out. This is a very important Senate race,
and Eric, we're gonna be watching it closely. We'll talk
to you more, and we're gonna go out and visit
you actually in a Madison do an event out there,
Clay and I will, So we're looking forward to that.
And you gotta beat Tammy Baldwin Man and the Badgers
have to win that football game.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's gonna be a blast. We're gonna have a lot
of fun the night before doing your show and then
going to the Alabama Wisconsin game. So we're gonna have
a blast at Camp Randall and probably tip a few
drinks along with it. So and I hope every all
your listeners and viewers have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Thanks so much, Eric, Good luck to you. We'll talk
to you soon. We'll see you soon. Thank you, Thank
you again. You know, the sound that comes from an
unborn child in the womb, the one that you can
hear before anything else, is the heartbeat, detected by an
ultrasound machine. As quiet as that little sound may be,
it's credited with saving the lives of three hundred thousand
babies at preborn clinics nationwide over the last two decades.
(12:00):
Because when mom is in a crisis pregnancy moment, she
doesn't know what she's gonna do. She feels scared, she
feels alone as people maybe around her pressuring her, certainly
the Democrat apparatus, pressuring her to just do the convenient thing,
terminate that pregnancy. If she has the opportunity via a
preborn clinic, to meet that tiny baby, to hear that heartbeat,
(12:23):
to see it on an ultrasound, to hear the little
beating heart, the choice for life becomes overwhelming. Preborn clinics
are doing this incredible work day in and day out,
and the women who go into preborn clinics who choose
life for their baby receive much more than just that ultrasound.
They also have basic supplies, and they get assistance for
the first two years of that baby's life, along with
(12:46):
so much love, support, and compassion. I've been to one
of the preborn clinics myself. I've seen what it can
do for women. I've heard the moms. I've actually seen
their kids running around the room, happy, living, beautiful lives
might not have happened without the preborn clinics. Please, if
you can donate, consider one today. Your donation of twenty
eight dollars would sponsor an ultrasound, but if you can
(13:08):
donate more, it's tax deductible, and what an incredible way
to try to take your part in saving lives. All
you have to do use your cell phone is dial
pound two five zero and say baby. That's pound two
five zero on your cell phone, say baby. Or go

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Patriots radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton them find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Welcome back to Clay and Buck. You know, we've got
the media carrying more water for Kamala Harris's campaign and
doing more to assist the demok in this election, more openly,
more brazenly than I think we've ever seen before. And
it was funny because over on uh, What's the Colbert
(14:09):
The Late Show, Stephen Colbert handed this platform, which she
has effectively destroyed. It's now a partisan it's like an
extension of the also now not funny and not funny.
For many years Daily Show just Democrat propaganda. The whole
thing is just one big editorial with a couple of haha.
But the jokes are always just kind of pathetic anti
(14:33):
Trump swipes. So Colbert is interviewing Kaitlyn Collins, who has
become a CNN primetime anchor. I knew Caitlin many years
ago when she was a reporter for The Daily Caller,
which some of you will know was Tucker Carlson's site.
So I will say, uh, I Caitlyn is a nice lady,
(14:54):
and I'm not I don't attack people that I know,
and you know whatever, this isn't about Caitlin. I mean,
she's working at CNN. I hope they're paying her. Well,
this isn't about Caitlyn. It's about Colebert taking this opportunity
to try to, I don't know, run propaganda or no. Really, actually,
what he's doing is showing you what he truly believes.
(15:15):
This is cut one. Just play this exchange between Stephen
Colbert on the media and Caitlyn Collins representing CNN. Trump's
kind of been.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Thrown on his heels by this, and he's not really
sure how to go after Vice President Harris. He knew
his attack lines on President Biden. He really has struggled
with how to go after someone who's twenty years younger
than him, who is a different gender, a different race,
it's kind of been this moment where he has not
been able to coalesce.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Around a single attack line. I know you guys are
objective over there, that you just report the news as
it is.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh, I know a CNN makes it, and I know
that's supposed to be a lab line. I wasn't supposed
to be, but I guess it is. You hear that
he was being earnest there he was Stephen Colbert the
comedian is I know, you guys just report facts and
truth and are objective over at CNN. Does he have
childlike intelligence when it comes to the news media or
(16:12):
is he just so brainwashed nobody thinks CNN is objective.
I mean, look at CNN, couldn't even have any Trump
supporters representing a Republican point of view on the payroll
for the last four years or during the Trump administration
for that that it's been eight years of essentially a
ban on Republican voices on their airwaves. Yeah, there's like
(16:36):
one or two. They're generally what we call in the
industry clay pigeons, those who go skeet or trap or
you know, sporting clay shooting. No, a clay pigeons job
is to get tossed up in the air and get
obliterated by your twelve or twenty gauge bird shot. Yeah,
that is what most of the quote conservatives over at
CNN are there to do. Or rather they're there to
(16:58):
be the conservatives who only criticize Republicans. That's the other
that's the funniest gig to have in the media. Oh,
I'm the real Republican. I hate all other Republicans, Democrats
school this person speaking truth to power. Oh gosh. I
just thought that was so funny, though. He was unintentionally funny,
which says a lot about I think where Stephen Colebert
(17:20):
and that whole show is on a regular basis, he's
so unfunny that he can't even see the humor in
the moment really because he's a propagandist. And this is
what has happened. I mean, they've tried to destroy comedy.
And Elon Musk has made a lot of has talked
about that a lot, which I think is important as well.
But I just thought that was so funny. It's like shit,
(17:41):
you know, and as honest, Yeah, sure it is. You know.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
All right, welcome back in here, team, great conversation with
would be should be Senator Hufty. We're hoping he'll be
Senator Hufty. He is Eric Hufdy, successful businessman and patriot
now but if Wisconsin its turn out and do the
right thing, he will be joining our buddy Ron John,
one of our favorite senators on the Republican side. So
(19:20):
we're really hoping that those of you who are listening
in the Badger State get it done, show up and
that is is such a critical, such a critical state,
it must be kind of fun at some level. I've
thought about this before. It must be fun to be
voting in a state where you know that every vote
really counts. I would have had that in Florida if
(19:42):
I had lived in Florida many years ago. Now, thanks
to Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida is solidly read. But in
a place like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, even you know, Georgia,
we can't sleep on Georgia, we can't sleep on the
These are states where it really really matters. Every vote's
(20:03):
going to count. But I think that you know, Wisconsin's
going to get a particular influx of well certainly of
massive media buys and political attention. But I just feel
like the electricity there in the air is going to
be very palpable as election day approaches, because it's going
(20:25):
to make a big difference not just for the presidential election,
but also for the control of the Senate, which as
we know, is critical. Meanwhile, you might be wondering, well,
given Wisconsin is such a critical state and there are
other states that are up for grabs within the margin
of era right now according to polling. And also I
(20:47):
don't want to get obsessed with the polling between now
and the election, because you know what, It's going to
be a close race and Trump's going to win as
long as he focuses. So that's all there is to really,
I don't want to get into this all. But it's
up one point, down one point. You know, I'm not
trying to give you give you a heart palpitations over
(21:07):
here or something. We're not trying to drive up the
stress level for our side. Unnecessarily. Trump's gonna win as
long as he stays focused, calm, cool and collected. And
there's also this, I think desire to parse the pulling
down to percentiles, where it's just not even mathematically theoretically
(21:28):
mathematically possible to have a real answer. This is why
they have a margin of error, right, And if you're
just looking at swings within the margin of error, this
race is back to twenty twenty territory in a sense.
This is now a Democrat against Trump Biden because of
the dementia turned in after the debate. It turned into,
oh my gosh, we can't fool any swing voters, so
(21:50):
we got a bail on this guy the palace coup, right,
But now they're back to Okay, this is a standard
issue Democrat race for them. But there's something that's a
little bit funky about the whole situation. Right. On the
one hand, they're running a generic Democrat campaign, but you
would think that that would involve the usual interviews, sitting
(22:16):
down with friendly news outlets, right, that's what we would
expect if this was generic Democrat and just filling the
blank with anyone other than Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Who was you know, if this was Gavin Newsom. Gavin
Newsom just looking so handsome. He's got a shirt unbuttoned,
I don't know, maybe four buttons down. Maybe he wants
to give the ladies in the Midwest something to think about.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You know that this is a true this is true.
That was a joke, but this is true. Well that
was also true. But Gavin's photographer that follows him around
as the governor of California is a celebrity photographer who
gets paid two hundred thousand dollars by the state of California,
known for photographing celebrities. Now is just following handsome Gavin around.
(22:57):
Let's make sure the wind blows through his hair just
the right way, a little bit of salt spray perhaps
in the background. Who needs fabio on the cover of
your book at the grocery store when you can have
Gavin Newsom Anyway, if it were Gavin Newsom for any
other Democrat, Gretchen Whitmer, Cory Booker, you know, any Democrat
(23:20):
you can think of who's at that national level of
some prominence, there'd be a lot of interviews, right, There'd
be a lot of stuff going on. There'd be a
lot of conversation about happening in front of people. But
with Kamala Harris, you can't make this stuff up. All right,
this is real. She's on the cover of Time magazine
(23:41):
and they've given her an iconic intentionally iconic portrait, really
trying to be I think evocative of the iconic Obama
portrait that we're all so very familiar with that was
really one of the most important rules of visual propaganda
of the Obama era. They've done this for Time magazine,
(24:05):
which is still run by communists. I mean, Time Magazine
is insane.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And the.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Title on the bottom of the page, it's really all
about Kamala. The title in the bottom of the page
is her moment. But there's one thing about it that
you want to be aware of. Time Magazine is doing
a glowing portrait, a literal portrait on the cover and
then a portrait in words of Kamala Harris as their
(24:34):
main story this month, doing everything they can to help her.
And then there's this quote her campaign denied a request
for an interview for this story. Huh. Hold on a second.
You're on the cover of Time magazine, which is run
by democrats. Is a you know, and all I don't
(24:57):
even ever thinks about with Time Magazine is what's on
the cover, right, Nobody actually read thing, So the cover
is everything for Time magazine. That is the value, right,
And they're not willing to have her sit down and
talk for the portrait that's supposed to What is that
all about When you can't even as a presidential nominee,
when you can't even do the super friendly media outlets,
(25:22):
when they're trying their absolute hardest to elevate you way
beyond what sanity, truth and reality would what is that
telling the American voter right? How is it possible that
they could come away from this thinking anything other than
this whole thing is a fraud. The Kamala campaign is
(25:45):
effectively one big lie. First there was the bait and
switch of running a campaign and then just deciding you
had a primary, okay, And then the machinery of the
Democrat Party. After the Biden debate, Biden wins the primary,
no one else even really runs. There's like, I can't
remember that guy's name and I work in politics. The
guy who ran against them, he showed he had events
(26:07):
where nobody actually nobody showed up. Hey, please clap, And
then you have, all of a sudden, the Democrat machinery
decide that it will be Kamala Harris and not Joe Biden.
Democrat voters didn't make this decision. In fact, Democrat voters
resoundingly rejected Kamala Harris back in twenty twenty. There's no
(26:30):
question about that. So what's this all about? Why did
it happen like this? Now? What's the situation? And I
think we are seeing it day in and day out.
In this way, she is being hidden from the public.
(26:50):
She is being effectively it's a con right, I mean,
this is a confidence game. This is a con the
whole thing, and the American voters are the mark. This
is Glenn Greenwald on this issue. Who Glenn Greenwald a
man of the left, but a man who has principles
(27:13):
from the you know, despite being of the left, still
has some principles about journalism, transparency, truth, consistency. So if
you have those principles, there are whole areas of the
democrat canon you have to just completely a free speech
You cannot have those principles and be a Democrat. You
cannot adhere to principles of free speech, transparency, consistency, that is,
(27:39):
you know, applicable standards for both sides or the same
standard for both sides. Greenwald writes the way the US
corporate media transformed Kamala Harris from a national embarrassment to
a transformative pioneer overnight without even pretending to care about
anything that she thinks or believes. Is a powerful testament
(28:03):
to how potent the science of propaganda is. That was
him on X, that was Greenwald on X. It's brilliant,
It's absolutely true, and it is just so brazen. It
is so brazen. They didn't take a no name democrat
and construct this whole fable of her or his great
(28:26):
leadership and ready for the moment right the cover of
Time magazine, her moment. They took a democrat who six
months ago, three months ago, all of these New York
Times writers in the Washington Post and the Morning Joe
and I miss Morning Joe. This morning very sad. I
was doing other work, so you'll have to tell me
(28:47):
how it went. But all of them were saying, Kamala
Harris was a really weak pick for Biden. She's incompetent,
she's unlikable, and her her, you know her. I remember
everyone was telling me this. They were saying, Oh, it
can't be Kamala if it's not Joe. Remember I told you,
and some of you remember I said, look, it's if
it's not Joe, it's one hundred percent Comma there's none
(29:08):
of this like it's gonna be Michelle Obama. And I
was right about that. Biden took it down to the
one yard line and then couldn't get into the end
zone because of the debate. But they were telling us
the negatives about Kamala were so high that it couldn't
be her. And now they're saying, oh, no, she should
be the president. It's great. Whatever will keep their team
(29:30):
in power, nothing else matters. They will lie to you endlessly,
even CNN. I mean, here's one of the CNN anchors,
and their job is to tell Democrats what they want
to hear. Asking one of the Kamala campaign spokespersons, Adrian
l robbed, what is Kamala Harris doing today? She's only
it's a Tuesday, She's only got eighty three days to campaign.
(29:55):
What's you up to today? I want you to hear
this answer. Play it. What's on the vice president's schedule today?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
So while she's traveling and talking to voters and getting
her message out there to the American people, something that
she's been doing from the very start of his campaign
and something that she certainly did when she was president.
Biden's running mate is Vice president.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
But look, you just mentioned the SPECE is going to
be giving a little I was asking about today and
I don't think she's got any campaign events on the
schedule today, does she.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Well, she and Governor Walls have been traveling across the country.
They hit nearly every battleground state last week on the
campaign trail. They raised thirty six million dollars within the
first twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I mean, it's it's like her campaign. It's like getting
an AI response, it's like pressing a button on a robot.
While Governor Walls and Kamala Harris have been traveling the
country and doing all No. No, He asked you a
very straightforward question. But I can't blame mizel Rod here
because the answer is Kamala Harris isn't anything today because
you know who's doing her campaign for her, the media.
(30:56):
They are the campaigners she is. It's so weak that
she has to outsource her campaign of falsehoods to second
and third parties out there, because guess what if people
start to see her and hear her and she has
(31:16):
to answer questions, they're going to go, oh yeah. This
is why even Democrats have thought she's a disaster. Even
Democrats rejected the idea of her being in an elected
leadership position for the whole country in their primary. This
(31:38):
is why I'm just gonna say it. You know why
I know Donald Trump is going to win this election
because if he doesn't, we're just not a serious country.
And I refuse to believe we're an unseerious country. You know,
I refuse to believe we are. It was one thing
with Biden Covid, the BLM riots. Biden's been in the
(31:59):
game alone long time. He Biden fooling people in that
moment was obviously wrong, but I can understand how it happens.
If Kamala, with the media carrying all the water for her,
if Kama was able to fool the American people and
become president, we get what we deserve because we're an
unseerious country. But I don't believe that we are. And
(32:22):
that is why I have full faith every day I
wake up, I have full faith that Donald Trump is
going to pull it out and win this election. You know,
instability is a big problem in the markets these days,
and you see how global events can also have huge
shifts and things. Plus when you see how much what
thirty five trillion dollars of debt we currently have and
(32:44):
what that's doing to the cost of everything, what's going
on with inflation. You're probably thinking, how do I protect
the value of my savings? Well, gold is an answer.
It has been an answer for a long time. You
can look at gold over millennia and see how it
has been a store of or you can look at
gold over the last few decades and just see has
gold gotten more or less valuable as we have been
(33:06):
printing and printing more money. The Birch Gold Group wants
to make it easy for you to make your first
gold purchase or to add to gold that you've already bought.

Speaking of food, I gotta tell you today is this
is I don't know. Maybe this is one of my
more controversial takes. I think it's okay to uh to
change your mind on things over time, and and I
(35:00):
don't think that you should be necessarily stuck on one
mode of thinking or one approach, and you can evolve
on important subjects. I bring this up because, as I
understand it, today is and hat hit my friend Michael
Pelka for putting this in his morning show notes that
he sends out to many of us in the industry.
(35:21):
It is international Filame Mignon Day, and now I know
Filame Mignon is French, and therefore it sounds like there's
like some fancy stuff. But I really when push comes
to shove, I used to say I was a Ribbi guy,
and you know, now as I get a little I
don't know, it's a little fatty for me. I do
think that if you're producer, Mike, do you have a
(35:42):
favorite cut of red meat? Can you? Can you weigh
in on this if you if you're in a steakhouse,
what is your go to? I used to be more adventurous.
I'd go Ribby, I'd go Porterhouse, But these days I
think Filame Mignon is probably the king of steak cuts.
Am I alone on this? Ah, he goes producer, Mike
goes poor. So I'm just saying. And it's also according
(36:03):
to my friend Michael pallokay, International Prosecco Day, which h
I don't know. I didn't know. This is now a
new marketing tool. I guess they declare different foods and
things so that it's international something or other day, and
you think about it for a minute. But I wish
thinking because I'm doing a lot of from my undisclosed
freedom Bunker, summer Freedom Bunker. I'm with my family, and
(36:27):
I got to tell you, I Filet Mignon is my
go to, but I don't know Porterhouse. You can't go
wrong with Porterhouse either. And you know what, honestly, Denver
State can be really good too. So I'm just throwing
it out there for your knowledge and enjoyment. Thanks for
hanging with me. Team More coming up tomorrow, Shield Time
Welcome back in everybody. Third hour of play and Bock
kicks off. Now, Wisconsin battleground Wisconsin. Is there a state
that is more important to the future of this country
in terms of the twenty twenty four election. You add
the Senate race into the mix, you can certainly make
the case Wisconsin is top of the heap. It's Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
(00:22):
I think in most people's reckoning. Well, we got a
guy joining right now who certainly knows how the fight
is going on the ground in the Badger's state. Eric
Hovedy is with us now. He is successful businessman and
a lifelong Wisconsin knight who is running for Senate there
against Tammy Baldwin, the Democrat swamp machine creature. So tell
(00:46):
us what's going on, Eric, how's it looking for you
in this Senate race and in Wisconsin more generally for
the election.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, you're exactly right, Buck, you know we're ground central.
Thanks for going. Well, look, Wisconsin's the cenator right state
and like everybody else around the country, by Noomics has
been a disaster, which Senator Baldwin supported him, voted with
(01:14):
him literally ninety five point five percent of the time.
You know, you've now got a perfect trifecta. You've got
Vice President Harris, who I think we all know is lacking,
but was voted the most extreme liberal senator in the
US Senate when she was there. Then we got the
(01:34):
governor of Minnesota, Tim Walt, who literally is the most
liberal governor in our country. And then we got Senator Baldwin,
who has voted the second most liberal senator. And you
know what, the policies that they've pushed through is destroying America.
Let's just be honest about that. The economic damage. Real
(01:55):
wages have gone down over the last three years by
two point two percent. We've never had a year period
of time where real wages have gone down. They opened
our southern border, Our state has been impacted like every
other state, fentanyl crisis, crime issues, impacting the excess to
healthcare and housing. You could go on with the litany
(02:15):
of problems that they brought, and then you look at
their their their policies, and their morals. They all support
boys competing in girls sports, they all support men going
into females bathrooms, and they all support transgendering our children.
It's insanity. Senator Baldwin, just so all your viewers and
(02:39):
listeners understand how extreme she is. She gave our taxpayer
money in an earmark to a clinic here in Madison,
Wisconsin that affirms kids and helps them go through the
transgender process without telling their parents. Now, think of that one.
It's the same nonsense that's Senator Governor Walt where he
(03:01):
signed that bill. If parents don't agree with their children
going through that transgender process, that they can be taken
away from them. So you got a perfect trifecta of
just crazy ass liberals. But I think the good people
of Wisconsin are going to figure this out.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I certainly hope so. But you know, you also can
shed some particular light on the realities of the Governor
Tim Walls administration. You know, I had a friend of mine,
Ryan Kurdusky, on the show earlier in the week, and
he talked about how there have been now the population
of Minnesota, population Wisconsin is not that you know, that's
(03:40):
kind of a medium sized state. He said, there have
been tens of thousands of Minnesotans who have just said
I'm done with Minnesota and fled to your state, Wisconsin
because of what Walls has done. What can you tell
us about this.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
That's true. And if you talk to Congressman Tom Tiffany,
whose district is up there in the northwest that buttresses Minnesota,
he talks endlessly about that. It's no different than what's
happening in Montana and Idaho and places like that, where
Californians are saying, this is just insane. I'm getting out,
I can't take it anymore. Well, look at what Governor
(04:16):
Waltz did. I mean the BLM movement. They've destroyed Minneapolis.
Downtown Minneapolis is a ghost town to what it used
to be. The crazy policies. They passed an abortion bill
that literally allows a baby to be killed up into
the point of delivery, just like California. Did you know
(04:39):
you wouldn't think this craziness would be happening in Minnesota.
But you know that's how extreme this guy is, and
he's right over our border. But he fits with Senator Baldwin.
She supports all the same crazy stuff. So yeah, I
don't think it helped them in the state of Wisconsin
by picking him as the VP. Harris herself in the
(05:03):
state of Wisconsin, without question.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
We're talking to Eric Hovedy, He's running against Tammy Baldwin
in Wisconsin. And it's funny, Tammy Baldwin and Eric We've
discussed this before, but she really exemplifies that Democrat machine
politician who speaks with a Midwestern accent but votes with
a Pelosi communist flair. You know what I mean. She's
(05:26):
somebody who goes along. Oh she's one of the Wisconsinites,
but then she goes along with what the coastal elites
of the Democrat Party want ninety five percent of the time.
Let's speak about the border issue, though, because this is
I think a major vulnerability for Democrats nationwide, including Tammy Baldwin.
It's top of the list of concerns, right behind the economy,
(05:48):
which he touched on a little bit already. How does
the border crisis, because you know, we're not really worried
that much about what's going on to the north with Canada.
We're really thinking about the southern border. How does that,
in fact, the situation of wisconsinines.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
In all ways. I call it a rotten onion. Now
why do I call it an onion? Because there's many layers.
So when you bring in anywhere from a minimum of
ten million to his high as sixteen million illegal immigrants
when our state is already struggling with providing affordable housing
and access and affordable healthcare. Now you've just compounded that
(06:26):
problem by bringing all these people in. They dumped one
thousand people on a little town called Whitewater of about
twelve thousand people, and immediately it really caused problems with schooling,
access to healthcare, and housing. The second issue is crime.
When an illegal immigrant kill his own two children here
two weeks ago in the state, but there's crime problems popping.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Up all over.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
National media is not touching it anymore because they know
what causes blowback for the Democrats. But probably the biggest
issue is the fentanyl crisis. Our state has been hamm
by that, like every other place, the amount of young
people that have been poisoned by this drug that gets
created and China sent to the drug cartels in Mexico
and brought up over our southern border, and they have
(07:12):
done nothing about it. So, yeah, Senator Baldwin, you're exactly right,
rubber stamp for the left. She's a complete hypocrite, says
she's against Wall Street, and yet she's sleeping with Wall Street.
Her partner who's a wealth manager to the uber wealthy
and private equity set. She spends all her time in
New York and DC raises her money out of California
(07:35):
in New York, and she's just a rubber stamp and
a complete hypocrite. Tries to run back in our stata
as kind of this moderate but you know, trying to
act like a chameleon. But she's far from it. But
the border is, without question the second biggest issue after
the economy.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What kind of money are the Democrats pouring into this
Senate race, because they know, I mean, this is if
you can take down Baldwin, that's a huge win for
the Republicans. They've got to be aware of what the
stakes are. Certainly, whenever it comes to power and holding
on to it, Democrats are very focused. What kind of
money is going into this What kind of national media
(08:15):
and local media buys are you seeing? I mean, I
just want to give everyone a sense of how much
of a focus your race in Wisconsin is getting, even
far beyond the boundaries of your state.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, it tells you I'm over the target because I
was the very first Republican Senate candidate to be hit
by Chuck Schumer. And they've spent more money on me
than any Republican candidate now Bernie Marino in Ohio. They
may have caught up at this point, but up to
three weeks ago, they had spent more money attacking me
(08:47):
than any place else you turn on the television, all
it is is one made up lie, mischaracterization. I can't
even go on with the nonsense that they have spread.
You know, I'm fighting hard. I've made a big investment
in my campaign, but I need help. I'll be honest
with you, everybody out there listening. If you want to
(09:09):
not only change the Senate and swap out a extreme
leftist socialist senator with somebody who's a conservative business person
who loves this country because I'm very patriotic, then then
please some money this way. And if I do well,
I can help President Trump like he can help me.
(09:29):
So go to Eric E. R I, C HUB D
H O VD dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
What is the single just one last one for you here, Eric, uh,
the the single piece of legislation that would do that
would have an economic impact that you hope you'll be
a part of passing in President Trump. I know, assuming
we have the House too, but let's say we have
the House, we have the Senate, we have President Trump
in four more years. What's the first piece of legislation
(09:59):
you would want want him to sign so that the
economy gets back to what we were used to before
the Biden Harris disaster.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, from an economic standpoint, look the two big things
that have to get done, and there's two. Number one
is we got to extend the tax cuts for the
small and medium sized businesses because they're going to shoot
way up and it puts them at a competitive disadvantage
against the big giant corporations, and we want to leave
that money in the private sector. The other issue is
we need a big deregulatory push. Businesses are being choked
(10:32):
to death by regulation and that plays a role in
creating inflation with all the money that they've spent and
money printing the Federal Reserve has done. So we've got
to stop the crazy spending and then we've got to
deregulate the economy to get our economic growth really booming.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Go to Eric Huvedy dot com Hovde if you want
to help out. This is a very important Senate race,
and Eric, we're gonna be watching it closely. We'll talk
to you more, and we're gonna go out and visit
you actually in a Madison do an event out there,
Clay and I will, So we're looking forward to that.
And you gotta beat Tammy Baldwin Man and the Badgers
have to win that football game.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's gonna be a blast. We're gonna have a lot
of fun the night before doing your show and then
going to the Alabama Wisconsin game. So we're gonna have
a blast at Camp Randall and probably tip a few
drinks along with it. So and I hope every all
your listeners and viewers have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Thanks so much, Eric, Good luck to you. We'll talk
to you soon. We'll see you soon. Thank you, Thank
you again. You know, the sound that comes from an
unborn child in the womb, the one that you can
hear before anything else, is the heartbeat, detected by an
ultrasound machine. As quiet as that little sound may be,
it's credited with saving the lives of three hundred thousand
babies at preborn clinics nationwide over the last two decades.
(12:00):
Because when mom is in a crisis pregnancy moment, she
doesn't know what she's gonna do. She feels scared, she
feels alone as people maybe around her pressuring her, certainly
the Democrat apparatus, pressuring her to just do the convenient thing,
terminate that pregnancy. If she has the opportunity via a
preborn clinic, to meet that tiny baby, to hear that heartbeat,
(12:23):
to see it on an ultrasound, to hear the little
beating heart, the choice for life becomes overwhelming. Preborn clinics
are doing this incredible work day in and day out,
and the women who go into preborn clinics who choose
life for their baby receive much more than just that ultrasound.
They also have basic supplies, and they get assistance for
the first two years of that baby's life, along with
(12:46):
so much love, support, and compassion. I've been to one
of the preborn clinics myself. I've seen what it can
do for women. I've heard the moms. I've actually seen
their kids running around the room, happy, living, beautiful lives
might not have happened without the preborn clinics. Please, if
you can donate, consider one today. Your donation of twenty
eight dollars would sponsor an ultrasound, but if you can
(13:08):
donate more, it's tax deductible, and what an incredible way
to try to take your part in saving lives. All
you have to do use your cell phone is dial
pound two five zero and say baby. That's pound two
five zero on your cell phone, say baby. Or go

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Patriots radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton them find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Welcome back to Clay and Buck. You know, we've got
the media carrying more water for Kamala Harris's campaign and
doing more to assist the demok in this election, more openly,
more brazenly than I think we've ever seen before. And
it was funny because over on uh, What's the Colbert
(14:09):
The Late Show, Stephen Colbert handed this platform, which she
has effectively destroyed. It's now a partisan it's like an
extension of the also now not funny and not funny.
For many years Daily Show just Democrat propaganda. The whole
thing is just one big editorial with a couple of haha.
But the jokes are always just kind of pathetic anti
(14:33):
Trump swipes. So Colbert is interviewing Kaitlyn Collins, who has
become a CNN primetime anchor. I knew Caitlin many years
ago when she was a reporter for The Daily Caller,
which some of you will know was Tucker Carlson's site.
So I will say, uh, I Caitlyn is a nice lady,
(14:54):
and I'm not I don't attack people that I know,
and you know whatever, this isn't about Caitlin. I mean,
she's working at CNN. I hope they're paying her. Well,
this isn't about Caitlyn. It's about Colebert taking this opportunity
to try to, I don't know, run propaganda or no. Really, actually,
what he's doing is showing you what he truly believes.
(15:15):
This is cut one. Just play this exchange between Stephen
Colbert on the media and Caitlyn Collins representing CNN. Trump's
kind of been.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Thrown on his heels by this, and he's not really
sure how to go after Vice President Harris. He knew
his attack lines on President Biden. He really has struggled
with how to go after someone who's twenty years younger
than him, who is a different gender, a different race,
it's kind of been this moment where he has not
been able to coalesce.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Around a single attack line. I know you guys are
objective over there, that you just report the news as
it is.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh, I know a CNN makes it, and I know
that's supposed to be a lab line. I wasn't supposed
to be, but I guess it is. You hear that
he was being earnest there he was Stephen Colbert the
comedian is I know, you guys just report facts and
truth and are objective over at CNN. Does he have
childlike intelligence when it comes to the news media or
(16:12):
is he just so brainwashed nobody thinks CNN is objective.
I mean, look at CNN, couldn't even have any Trump
supporters representing a Republican point of view on the payroll
for the last four years or during the Trump administration
for that that it's been eight years of essentially a
ban on Republican voices on their airwaves. Yeah, there's like
(16:36):
one or two. They're generally what we call in the
industry clay pigeons, those who go skeet or trap or
you know, sporting clay shooting. No, a clay pigeons job
is to get tossed up in the air and get
obliterated by your twelve or twenty gauge bird shot. Yeah,
that is what most of the quote conservatives over at
CNN are there to do. Or rather they're there to
(16:58):
be the conservatives who only criticize Republicans. That's the other
that's the funniest gig to have in the media. Oh,
I'm the real Republican. I hate all other Republicans, Democrats
school this person speaking truth to power. Oh gosh. I
just thought that was so funny, though. He was unintentionally funny,
which says a lot about I think where Stephen Colebert
(17:20):
and that whole show is on a regular basis, he's
so unfunny that he can't even see the humor in
the moment really because he's a propagandist. And this is
what has happened. I mean, they've tried to destroy comedy.
And Elon Musk has made a lot of has talked
about that a lot, which I think is important as well.
But I just thought that was so funny. It's like shit,
(17:41):
you know, and as honest, Yeah, sure it is. You know.
Some of you in the audience yesterday received an email

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
All right, welcome back in here, team, great conversation with
would be should be Senator Hufty. We're hoping he'll be
Senator Hufty. He is Eric Hufdy, successful businessman and patriot
now but if Wisconsin its turn out and do the
right thing, he will be joining our buddy Ron John,
one of our favorite senators on the Republican side. So
(19:20):
we're really hoping that those of you who are listening
in the Badger State get it done, show up and
that is is such a critical, such a critical state,
it must be kind of fun at some level. I've
thought about this before. It must be fun to be
voting in a state where you know that every vote
really counts. I would have had that in Florida if
(19:42):
I had lived in Florida many years ago. Now, thanks
to Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida is solidly read. But in
a place like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, even you know, Georgia,
we can't sleep on Georgia, we can't sleep on the
These are states where it really really matters. Every vote's
(20:03):
going to count. But I think that you know, Wisconsin's
going to get a particular influx of well certainly of
massive media buys and political attention. But I just feel
like the electricity there in the air is going to
be very palpable as election day approaches, because it's going
(20:25):
to make a big difference not just for the presidential election,
but also for the control of the Senate, which as
we know, is critical. Meanwhile, you might be wondering, well,
given Wisconsin is such a critical state and there are
other states that are up for grabs within the margin
of era right now according to polling. And also I
(20:47):
don't want to get obsessed with the polling between now
and the election, because you know what, It's going to
be a close race and Trump's going to win as
long as he focuses. So that's all there is to really,
I don't want to get into this all. But it's
up one point, down one point. You know, I'm not
trying to give you give you a heart palpitations over
(21:07):
here or something. We're not trying to drive up the
stress level for our side. Unnecessarily. Trump's gonna win as
long as he stays focused, calm, cool and collected. And
there's also this, I think desire to parse the pulling
down to percentiles, where it's just not even mathematically theoretically
(21:28):
mathematically possible to have a real answer. This is why
they have a margin of error, right, And if you're
just looking at swings within the margin of error, this
race is back to twenty twenty territory in a sense.
This is now a Democrat against Trump Biden because of
the dementia turned in after the debate. It turned into,
oh my gosh, we can't fool any swing voters, so
(21:50):
we got a bail on this guy the palace coup, right,
But now they're back to Okay, this is a standard
issue Democrat race for them. But there's something that's a
little bit funky about the whole situation. Right. On the
one hand, they're running a generic Democrat campaign, but you
would think that that would involve the usual interviews, sitting
(22:16):
down with friendly news outlets, right, that's what we would
expect if this was generic Democrat and just filling the
blank with anyone other than Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Who was you know, if this was Gavin Newsom. Gavin
Newsom just looking so handsome. He's got a shirt unbuttoned,
I don't know, maybe four buttons down. Maybe he wants
to give the ladies in the Midwest something to think about.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You know that this is a true this is true.
That was a joke, but this is true. Well that
was also true. But Gavin's photographer that follows him around
as the governor of California is a celebrity photographer who
gets paid two hundred thousand dollars by the state of California,
known for photographing celebrities. Now is just following handsome Gavin around.
(22:57):
Let's make sure the wind blows through his hair just
the right way, a little bit of salt spray perhaps
in the background. Who needs fabio on the cover of
your book at the grocery store when you can have
Gavin Newsom Anyway, if it were Gavin Newsom for any
other Democrat, Gretchen Whitmer, Cory Booker, you know, any Democrat
(23:20):
you can think of who's at that national level of
some prominence, there'd be a lot of interviews, right, There'd
be a lot of stuff going on. There'd be a
lot of conversation about happening in front of people. But
with Kamala Harris, you can't make this stuff up. All right,
this is real. She's on the cover of Time magazine
(23:41):
and they've given her an iconic intentionally iconic portrait, really
trying to be I think evocative of the iconic Obama
portrait that we're all so very familiar with that was
really one of the most important rules of visual propaganda
of the Obama era. They've done this for Time magazine,
(24:05):
which is still run by communists. I mean, Time Magazine
is insane.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And the.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Title on the bottom of the page, it's really all
about Kamala. The title in the bottom of the page
is her moment. But there's one thing about it that
you want to be aware of. Time Magazine is doing
a glowing portrait, a literal portrait on the cover and
then a portrait in words of Kamala Harris as their
(24:34):
main story this month, doing everything they can to help her.
And then there's this quote her campaign denied a request
for an interview for this story. Huh. Hold on a second.
You're on the cover of Time magazine, which is run
by democrats. Is a you know, and all I don't
(24:57):
even ever thinks about with Time Magazine is what's on
the cover, right, Nobody actually read thing, So the cover
is everything for Time magazine. That is the value, right,
And they're not willing to have her sit down and
talk for the portrait that's supposed to What is that
all about When you can't even as a presidential nominee,
when you can't even do the super friendly media outlets,
(25:22):
when they're trying their absolute hardest to elevate you way
beyond what sanity, truth and reality would what is that
telling the American voter right? How is it possible that
they could come away from this thinking anything other than
this whole thing is a fraud. The Kamala campaign is
(25:45):
effectively one big lie. First there was the bait and
switch of running a campaign and then just deciding you
had a primary, okay, And then the machinery of the
Democrat Party. After the Biden debate, Biden wins the primary,
no one else even really runs. There's like, I can't
remember that guy's name and I work in politics. The
guy who ran against them, he showed he had events
(26:07):
where nobody actually nobody showed up. Hey, please clap, And
then you have, all of a sudden, the Democrat machinery
decide that it will be Kamala Harris and not Joe Biden.
Democrat voters didn't make this decision. In fact, Democrat voters
resoundingly rejected Kamala Harris back in twenty twenty. There's no
(26:30):
question about that. So what's this all about? Why did
it happen like this? Now? What's the situation? And I
think we are seeing it day in and day out.
In this way, she is being hidden from the public.
(26:50):
She is being effectively it's a con right, I mean,
this is a confidence game. This is a con the
whole thing, and the American voters are the mark. This
is Glenn Greenwald on this issue. Who Glenn Greenwald a
man of the left, but a man who has principles
(27:13):
from the you know, despite being of the left, still
has some principles about journalism, transparency, truth, consistency. So if
you have those principles, there are whole areas of the
democrat canon you have to just completely a free speech
You cannot have those principles and be a Democrat. You
cannot adhere to principles of free speech, transparency, consistency, that is,
(27:39):
you know, applicable standards for both sides or the same
standard for both sides. Greenwald writes the way the US
corporate media transformed Kamala Harris from a national embarrassment to
a transformative pioneer overnight without even pretending to care about
anything that she thinks or believes. Is a powerful testament
(28:03):
to how potent the science of propaganda is. That was
him on X, that was Greenwald on X. It's brilliant,
It's absolutely true, and it is just so brazen. It
is so brazen. They didn't take a no name democrat
and construct this whole fable of her or his great
(28:26):
leadership and ready for the moment right the cover of
Time magazine, her moment. They took a democrat who six
months ago, three months ago, all of these New York
Times writers in the Washington Post and the Morning Joe
and I miss Morning Joe. This morning very sad. I
was doing other work, so you'll have to tell me
(28:47):
how it went. But all of them were saying, Kamala
Harris was a really weak pick for Biden. She's incompetent,
she's unlikable, and her her, you know her. I remember
everyone was telling me this. They were saying, Oh, it
can't be Kamala if it's not Joe. Remember I told you,
and some of you remember I said, look, it's if
it's not Joe, it's one hundred percent Comma there's none
(29:08):
of this like it's gonna be Michelle Obama. And I
was right about that. Biden took it down to the
one yard line and then couldn't get into the end
zone because of the debate. But they were telling us
the negatives about Kamala were so high that it couldn't
be her. And now they're saying, oh, no, she should
be the president. It's great. Whatever will keep their team
(29:30):
in power, nothing else matters. They will lie to you endlessly,
even CNN. I mean, here's one of the CNN anchors,
and their job is to tell Democrats what they want
to hear. Asking one of the Kamala campaign spokespersons, Adrian
l robbed, what is Kamala Harris doing today? She's only
it's a Tuesday, She's only got eighty three days to campaign.
(29:55):
What's you up to today? I want you to hear
this answer. Play it. What's on the vice president's schedule today?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
So while she's traveling and talking to voters and getting
her message out there to the American people, something that
she's been doing from the very start of his campaign
and something that she certainly did when she was president.
Biden's running mate is Vice president.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
But look, you just mentioned the SPECE is going to
be giving a little I was asking about today and
I don't think she's got any campaign events on the
schedule today, does she.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Well, she and Governor Walls have been traveling across the country.
They hit nearly every battleground state last week on the
campaign trail. They raised thirty six million dollars within the
first twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I mean, it's it's like her campaign. It's like getting
an AI response, it's like pressing a button on a robot.
While Governor Walls and Kamala Harris have been traveling the
country and doing all No. No, He asked you a
very straightforward question. But I can't blame mizel Rod here
because the answer is Kamala Harris isn't anything today because
you know who's doing her campaign for her, the media.
(30:56):
They are the campaigners she is. It's so weak that
she has to outsource her campaign of falsehoods to second
and third parties out there, because guess what if people
start to see her and hear her and she has
(31:16):
to answer questions, they're going to go, oh yeah. This
is why even Democrats have thought she's a disaster. Even
Democrats rejected the idea of her being in an elected
leadership position for the whole country in their primary. This
(31:38):
is why I'm just gonna say it. You know why
I know Donald Trump is going to win this election
because if he doesn't, we're just not a serious country.
And I refuse to believe we're an unseerious country. You know,
I refuse to believe we are. It was one thing
with Biden Covid, the BLM riots. Biden's been in the
(31:59):
game alone long time. He Biden fooling people in that
moment was obviously wrong, but I can understand how it happens.
If Kamala, with the media carrying all the water for her,
if Kama was able to fool the American people and
become president, we get what we deserve because we're an
unseerious country. But I don't believe that we are. And
(32:22):
that is why I have full faith every day I
wake up, I have full faith that Donald Trump is
going to pull it out and win this election. You know,
instability is a big problem in the markets these days,
and you see how global events can also have huge
shifts and things. Plus when you see how much what
thirty five trillion dollars of debt we currently have and
(32:44):
what that's doing to the cost of everything, what's going
on with inflation. You're probably thinking, how do I protect
the value of my savings? Well, gold is an answer.
It has been an answer for a long time. You
can look at gold over millennia and see how it
has been a store of or you can look at
gold over the last few decades and just see has
gold gotten more or less valuable as we have been
(33:06):
printing and printing more money. The Birch Gold Group wants

Speaking of food, I gotta tell you today is this
is I don't know. Maybe this is one of my
more controversial takes. I think it's okay to uh to
change your mind on things over time, and and I
(35:00):
don't think that you should be necessarily stuck on one
mode of thinking or one approach, and you can evolve
on important subjects. I bring this up because, as I
understand it, today is and hat hit my friend Michael
Pelka for putting this in his morning show notes that
he sends out to many of us in the industry.
(35:21):
It is international Filame Mignon Day, and now I know
Filame Mignon is French, and therefore it sounds like there's
like some fancy stuff. But I really when push comes
to shove, I used to say I was a Ribbi guy,
and you know, now as I get a little I
don't know, it's a little fatty for me. I do
think that if you're producer, Mike, do you have a
(35:42):
favorite cut of red meat? Can you? Can you weigh
in on this if you if you're in a steakhouse,
what is your go to? I used to be more adventurous.
I'd go Ribby, I'd go Porterhouse, But these days I
think Filame Mignon is probably the king of steak cuts.
Am I alone on this? Ah, he goes producer, Mike
goes poor. So I'm just saying. And it's also according
(36:03):
to my friend Michael pallokay, International Prosecco Day, which h
I don't know. I didn't know. This is now a
new marketing tool. I guess they declare different foods and
things so that it's international something or other day, and
you think about it for a minute. But I wish
thinking because I'm doing a lot of from my undisclosed
freedom Bunker, summer Freedom Bunker. I'm with my family, and
(36:27):
I got to tell you, I Filet Mignon is my
go to, but I don't know Porterhouse. You can't go
wrong with Porterhouse either. And you know what, honestly, Denver
State can be really good too. So I'm just throwing
it out there for your knowledge and enjoyment. Thanks for
hanging with me. Team More coming up tomorrow, Shield Time
