Kamala Harris basically obstructed the government in the way she used the Senate hearings to smear Brett Kavanaugh and not just stop him, but destroy his life. Politico notes that Kamala, because of her color and gender, faces greater security risks – a story they’d never write about Trump. Buck joked today that if Biden had only waited until autumn to debate, it would be Clay who owed him a steak dinner and not the other way around.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Third hour of Clay and Buck. Get's going right now.
Thanks for being here with us on this Friday, and
it's all about honing in on the contest. Now Kamala B.
Trump Trump v. Kamala plus Senate and House. Clay's been
looking at the Senate data in the last few minutes.
Could be better, could be better for us? Right now
(00:20):
we shall discuss more of that. You've had. Obama's come
out and formally endorse Kamala Harris. I don't think we
need to play that for you. You get the idea.
But so it is any theory that there was going
to be some big surprise at the DNC not not
going to happen. So it is now Kamala Harris, and
(00:44):
we shall see how Trump is able to adapt and
how his campaign adapts to this new reality. But I
had mentioned this before. I do want to point this out.
You know, Clay and I we're happy warriors, and we
do this show and we have fun, and you know,
we enjoy talking all of you, and we honestly or
so blessed, we love our jobs and we hope that
always comes across. And we'll talk about the policy deficiencies
(01:06):
and the wrongness and the failures of Kamala Harris. But
I also do want to take a moment to go
on the record to basically show you or to tell
you and show you that she's a person of a
low moral character. This is not And by the way,
(01:27):
I am not talking about Clay can differ than that.
I'm not talking about her Willie Brown situation thirty years ago.
I'm talking about what she did just a couple of
years ago when Brett Kavanaugh, who is now in the
Supreme Court was up for a Supreme Court seat at
the time and going through confirmation, and I can tell
(01:48):
you that things got so ugly that there were voices
in the Trump White House saying that Trump should pull
the nominee and that it was very close to happening.
And you would have had Brett Kavanaugh not only removed
from being in contention for the Supreme Court, you would
have had the destruction of a man's reputation. And with
(02:11):
that today, it's just like a destruction away from someone's soul.
I mean to convince the public that somebody was some
kind of like sexual predator or sexual deviant at age
like sixteen or whatever, it was too I mean it
was they was talking about it when they were in
high school, and there was no credibility to the allegations whatsoever.
(02:35):
If Blasi Ford's allegations were credible, any allegation is credible
just by someone saying it couldn't remember the year or
the month or where or who picked her up or
you know, the whole thing was just absolutely And the
way you knew it was garbage was that other women
came forward with increasingly insane stories also saying that Brett
(02:57):
Kavanaugh did you know this has become now a meme
on the right. You know that they were going to
try to stop Amy Coney Barrett from being on the
Supreme Court by having ten women come forward and say
that Amy Coney Barrett, you know it, sexually abused them,
like they'll just do this to anybody. In fact, so
many of the of the allegations against Kavanaugh, and this
is not talked about very much. Molly Hemingway wrote Justice
(03:17):
on Trial. I think my second Molly Hemingway book, Shout
out this week anyway, Molly does great work. Justice on Trial.
Great book goes into this in detail. And they were
all clay, you know, there were all these other allegations
that also made their way to the Senate that were,
you know, women claiming that Kavanaugh had raped them in
a state Cavanaugh had never in his life been to.
I mean, I think that's hard. I think if Kavanaugh
(03:39):
had never been to Rhode Island by age twenty five
or whatever, I don't think you could say that he
raped you in Rhode Island. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen,
and they didn't bring those forward. Kamala Harris knew about
those allegations. She was on the Senate Judiciary Committee. They
went with Blasi Ford because and think about this, everybody
they thought she was the least obviously insane and partisan.
(04:02):
Those two things can go together. This is a throwback
to Kamala at the start of that Senate Judiciary here
and we pulled the audio. I want you to hear
this play it. Good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I welcome everyone to this confirmation hearing on the nomination
of mister Chairman Britt Kevanall, mister Chairman, to serve as
Associate Justice.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Mister Chairman, I'd like to be recognized for a question
before we proceed, Mister Chairman, I'd like to be recognized
to ask a question before we proceed. The committee received
just last night, less than fifteen hours ago, thousand pages
of documents that we have not had an opportunity to
review or read or analyze.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You're out of order, I'll proceed.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
We cannot possibly move forward, mister chairman, A very warm well,
given the opportunity to have a meeting.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
She's basically obstructing government administration there. I mean, I know
she's a to do it, but this is just an obstruction.
This is the opening of the hearing, and we could
pull out I'll find for you, guys, like a question
or two that she posed to Kavanaugh, But she was
really engineering or part of the engineering of this whole thing.
I mean, Clay, what Democrats did to cav it was
(05:17):
a COVID, was a sea change movement, and how a
lot of us, I think, see not only the Democrat
Party in America, but the kind of uniparty globally. But
I have never thought of Democrats the same way after
what I saw them do in that Kavanaugh hearing. It
to do that to a man who was so manifestly
innocent and also such a manifestly decent guy, A good guy, yes,
(05:41):
in front of his wife and children in the whole
country is a moral disgrace beyond words. And Kamala Harris
was at the forefront. She was the leading the band
on the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, and some people are not sophisticated enough having been
involved in chrome investigations to understand what was going on
there to what extent that was a railroading. Whatever you
think of Kamala Harris, she was a prosecutor and she
was the Attorney General of California. She would have known
(06:17):
that based on the evidence there. You couldn't have brought
charges in the nineteen eighties against Brett Kavanaugh, much less
in twenty eighteen when he was standing for the Supreme Court,
and it was just such a grotesque I think the
worst application of and I'm using the quotation phrase here
(06:41):
justice that we probably have seen in the twenty first century.
Even the law fair against Trump, which I think is
an awful example of what the Department of Justice has
done to make everything political in this country to try
to get him. I think the Kavanaugh treatment was worse
because there's not even a colorable claim against Brett Kavanov
(07:05):
for having done anything wrong. And the people that they
brought forward to make the allegations, Christine Blaze Ford was
the most significant of them. She didn't know where she was,
she didn't know what year it was. And even Buck,
if you accepted and this is so key. One of
the things you have to do when you're a lawyer,
and I've done criminal law, I've been involved in a
(07:28):
variety of cases over the years in my past life.
One of the things you have to do is sometimes
presume that everything that's being alleged is one hundred percent true,
even if you're on the opposite side. Let's presume that
everything this person says is true. What then it wasn't
(07:49):
even a crime if everything she said was true, Buck,
Teenagers go to a house party, get drunk. One of
them tries to make out with another one, and the
girl doesn't want to make out and leaves after the
guy tries to kiss her. There isn't even a crime
there even and look, it didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The guys you grew up with, you know, I said
that back then.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I said, Look, if the standard is you try to
kiss a girl who doesn't want to kiss you, necessarily
in high school, there are an awful lot of dudes
out there that should be in handcuffs right now. Because
teenagers are awkward, trying to understand social cues are difficult,
especially if you throw in, unfortunately alcohol consumption, and then
(08:39):
you're trying to figure out, does this girl like me?
Does this boy like me? If every single person who
is a teenager and has attempted to kiss someone who
didn't like them was in prison, we would have to
build a lot of brand new prisons, right. I mean,
there are a lot of awkward teenage interactions. It didn't
happen based on the evidence. But even if you presume Boom,
(09:00):
everything that she said is true. A guy tries to
kiss a girl in the nineteen eighties when he's like
sixteen years old at a house party, and forty years
later he's not eligible to breed be a Supreme Court justice.
I think America rejected this, but Kamala Harris led the
charge there. I think her record does matter and we
(09:22):
have to bring it back up.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
What she did was it was it's beyond political disagreement.
What she did was disgusting, beyond words. I mean, it's
it's it's a low, grotesque thing to do as a
human being, to try to destroy someone's reputation, and make
them and not destroyed the reputation like oh, you're not
(09:45):
good at your job or something. You're you're a sexual
predator or a sexual devian or whatever it is that
they wanted to say, you a sex criminal. And it's
a lie. I mean, what could be more, you know,
just more horrific to do to a person who's manifestly
in and as Kavanaugh obviously was. And Clay didn't bring
(10:07):
this up. The second woman came forward and she said
that Kavanaugh, I mean, you got it. It's hard to
believe when you go back and read a bit this
stuff again that anybody went along. I had people from
I had anchors from CNN I will not name them
texting me saying, you are destroying your media career by
(10:28):
going against Blasi Ford. Everyone knows she's telling the truth.
And I responded with words that I cannot say on
the radio show, but it involved me telling them something off.
They They had a second woman who came forward and
said that she that anyway that he touched her with
(10:50):
like his genitalia when when he was in college or something,
which nobody believed. Whoknew Bret Kavanaugh in college? But it
doesn't even matter because what really came out was it
took her a week of talking to therapists or something
like that or no, I'm sorry, memory experts to help
her remember that this thing happened to her, that came
up to So she.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Was in college and she remembers it so and she
was sober, and she remembers it so well that it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Took her a week of talking to a memory and
everyone's like, well, that's and then the third woman came
forward and said that Kavanaugh was part of I think
her name was check this guy's I think her name
was Julie Swetnik. Was this the gang rape crew? Yes,
that Kavanaugh was part of a mysterious high school gang
rape crew who would drug teenage girls. They were teenagers too,
(11:38):
drug teenage girls and rape them at parties all the time.
And she though was older, this came out than Kavanaugh.
So she was a college student who was coming back
and going to high school parties and not saying anything
about the gang rape crew. No criminal report, no one
ever heard about this, nothing, and people put her on
TV like she wasn't completely insane. Yeah, And Kamala Harris
(12:03):
tried to use these stories to ruin him man, she
is horrible. She's not a good person. That's why I
just wanted to get so. If anythink, oh, over being
too harsh on or whatever, I'm sorry. She has abused
her power for evil purposes. She's not a good person.
And also a lot of people still believe all this.
(12:23):
That's the other one of the things I thought was
most tragic about this. I hope that they've since stopped it.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
He coached Kavanaugh did his little girls' basketball teams, and
they tried to say, based on these stories, he shouldn't
be able to coach little league basketball. I hope that
that all got tamped down, and I hope that he
is now able to coach his girls. I think he
has two daughters. I hope he's able to coach them again.
(12:52):
I've coached my boys a lot of different sports over
the years. They tried to destroy his life. Remember he
was already a DC Circuit Court judge. He had already
been through all the other confirmations. They tried to destroy
his life based on manufactured.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Lies, and it almost worked.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
And they're still I bet buck forty five percent of
the American public believes all of those things are true,
that he's a gang rapist, that he is a rapist
who got sent and got seated on the Supreme Court.
The facts don't matter because they don't get the counter argument.
They just buy into whatever they're told. I do think
(13:33):
on a positive that was kind of the end of
me Too, because a lot of people said, wait a minute,
you can't just presume that a woman's telling the truth
anymore than you can presume a man's telling the truth.
And it feels like to me that was the beginning
of the end of sort of the whole me too movement.
And certainly it seems to me like we've moved back
(13:53):
a little bit in the direction of, hey, let's actually
require some facts now. They went after Trump and continue
to go after Trump on this stuff. But I do
think the American public rejected it, but unfortunately way too
many believed it. Look as I'm speaking to you right now,
the Olympics are underway, the opening ceremonies from Paris. If
you're a casual sports fan, probably a good chance you're
(14:16):
going to watch swimming, maybe a decent chance you're going
to watch track and field. Maybe you will be out
there watching a wide variety of the competitions to see
who's going to be winning gold medals over the next
couple of weeks. Right now you can get hooked up,
whether it's the Olympics, major League baseball, soccer, tennis, PGA,
(14:36):
whatever you like. Prize Picks is all about the individual
players and their performance on a game to game, match
to match basis. Make one decision for each player you
want to follow, more or less than the points or
the number on the Prize Picks app. It's easy to
play along brand new example, right now, they're giving you
a free win if Lebron James scores at least one
(14:58):

string together a series of wins more or less on
a variety of athletes, how many races they're going to win,
all of the different aspects. You can turn ten dollars

Sexton voices of sanity an insane world. Welcome back in Clay, Travis,
Buck Sexton show rolling through the final hour, another crazy
fourteen hours up, about a half hour, fourteen and a
(16:03):
half hours up, Another half hour to go here. Tom
wants to weigh in the Olympics opening ceremonies underway from Paris.
We mentioned earlier Steph Curry and Steve Kerr, the coach
and one of the star players, immediately get to Paris
and decide that even though they're on the US men's team,
(16:25):
they want to endorse Kamala Harris, and Tom in Florida says,
that makes you want to root against.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The US team.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
So before you answer that, did you watch the US
back in the ninety two Dream Team era? Were you
a big fan like Buck and I were talking about.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Shoot Bird, Jordan, all of them. That was great?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
So you're a basketball fan. It's not like you're someone
who is not a sports fan. So you remember rooting
for that original Dream team. What's your take now on
this team?
Speaker 6 (16:59):
It's the same as Meghan Rappino. I hope that Steph
Curry is going down to court with two seconds left,
they're behind by one point for the gold and he
throws up an air ball, just like Megan Rapino kicked
the ball over the net for the women and lust if.
It was one of the happiest days in my look,
and that's what I hope happens to them. They should
see him mouth shut and played basketball.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I love I love our people play because our people
are hardcore. When it comes to you spit on the flag,
you betray America like they're not. They're not going to
let it go. I love it. Not a young man.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I don't know exactly how old, but one of the
happiest days of his life was Megan Rapino air mailing
a penalty kick. It's like, I don't know how many
kids he has, is like kid one, kid two, kid three,
fourth best day of my life Megan Repino airmailing.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
There's a little exaggeration, but I respect the sentiment. I
respect where his head is at, and I like it.
You know, you don't you know, we're all mist together
here in America, or we're not. We don't let the
commies get away with their nonsense. You know what, a
brilliant CEO for goes what could be a very lucrative
salary and decides, I'm just going to take a dollar
in compensation in terms of cash. You got to be curious, right.
(18:07):
Porter Stansbury's that CEO. And not only that, he found
one of the best financial research companies in the whole country,
really in the whole world. He's also a friend of
mine and a business partner, a guy I've known for
ten years now. Porter took his salary down to a
dollar and is talking about it publicly because he sees
a new form of money in America and he thinks
this new form of a money, form of money could
(18:28):
make you a lot of money. Thousands of Americans and
all kinds of full time roles are already compensated in
this new way. It's a new currency, if you will,
That's what Porter's calling it, and he's hoping to change
the public's knowledge about it so that you can know
how you can benefit. There is a presentation with details
online you should go see for free at secret Currency
(18:49):
twenty twenty four dot com. That's secret currency twenty twenty
four dot com. Well, welcome back in team to play,
and I've got a few things we want to hit
here before we Wow. I can't believe it's already gonna
be the de thing You're very soon one is. I
I just had to note this Politico with a tweet here.
(19:10):
Politico is, of course, the preferred insider DC politics web blog,
and they write, Kamala Harris faces greater security risks because
she's a woman and a person of color, and the
Secret Service is almost certainly taking that into account. That's Politico.
(19:31):
I just okay, I mean, whether that's true or whatever.
Put that Clay Trump was shot two weeks ago. Yeah,
and Politico was writing articles about how Kamala is in
so much danger because she's a woman and a person
of color. I don't think they've ever written I get.
I promise you if you go back and look, there
(19:52):
has never been some random news story in political but like,
oh like, because of all the rhetoric about Trump is hitler,
he faces actually much more serious security risks. However much
we all despise the Democrat media, it is not enough.
It is not enough.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Also, to be clear, don't harm anyone any point in
your life. Right, but if you look at the data
on who is actually victimizing black women, it's overwhelmingly black men.
The implication of Politico's story there is that Kamala Harris,
(20:32):
as a black woman, is more likely to be killed
by a white man, right, Like that's the parenthetical. Then
they're not they're not putting in there than anyone else.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
They mean a white nationalist racist is whether that's the implication.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
That's what that's the implication of their story. And they're
using rates of violence against black women to justify why
she's at a higher risk than a white man would be.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I think they're just saying, because she's black, some racists
will try to do something, uh, you know, horrific. I mean,
I I don't.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Think that there is there is data that black women
are victims of crimes at a much higher rate than
white No, I know, but I'm saying I don't think
that that's even necessarily there.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think they're thinking is just she's a minority woman,
therefore some racist is going to try to harm her,
which of course is see I said this as soon
as Trump got shot too. I'm like I would be
if if someone, god forbid, had taken a shot and
and it had, you know, graised Joe Biden's here, I
would be utterly horrified. Yeah, And the Secret Service director
should have been fired immediately. For now would have called
(21:34):
the Secret Service sector to be fired, and we would
have been trashing the response of Secret Service and that
of a you know, the whole thing, no question about it.
But you know this is this is the price of principles,
is you have to actually believe in a principle and
apply it as one. You know, with Democrats, everything is
just an opportunity for power. Oh you know, it's everyone
should be so ware. And also I'm just going to
(21:55):
say this that they're going to create this narrative of
there's so much racism against Comma, there's so much racism
against Kamala and sexism and sexism against Kamala, and then
if she wins, they're not gonna be like, you know,
maybe we overestimated the racism and sexism against Kamala, Like
maybe the country that just elected the first black woman president.
Remember with Barack Obama was if you didn't like him,
you were racist. In the beginning, and then he won,
(22:15):
and then he won for eight years, and actually, race relations,
by the numbers in this country, as we all know
you can look at, it got worse, especially according to
the media, which started using terms like racism, white nationalists,
and other terms of racial strife by a factor of
like one hundred times more. I mean, it was crazy
(22:37):
under Obama's president, because it's a way of stifling descent. Wait,
you don't like Obama. Sounds kind of racist. You disagree
with Obamacare sounds kind of racist. No, well that's what
they're gonna do with Kamala too. I mean, you already
are seeing it in their trying to say, hey, even
referring to Kamala by her first name is a form
of a racism and sexism when the reality is people
(23:01):
pick the name that is more uncommon to use to
signify someone. For instance, we were just talking about the
original Dream Team. Most people don't refer to Michael Jordan
as Michael because Michael is a very common name. Jordan
much less common. Harris, Kamala's last name is very common. Kamala,
(23:21):
her first name is not right like almost all this
Tiger Woods, Woods is a very common name. Tiger is
not branding Bernie Bernie Sanders. Bernie is a less common
name than Sanders. People use the signifier that is most
likely to be recognized of a first or last name.
(23:42):
It's not about racism and sexism, but that's the route
that they're already going to try and attack here, and
I just think it's going to get much worse over
the next one hundred days. We talked about earlier in
the show, the clear attempt to scrub Kamala's history as
vice pres isn't it. They are doing everything they can
(24:03):
to try to protect her from attacks, and we don't
even mentioned this, but there's stories out there. This is
all a direct response to the talking points that Kamala's
campaign sent out. They said she was never called the
borders are Did you see the sheet of paper with
all the facts. It's not even hidden, it's so transparent.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Kamala's whole campaign is an exercise in gaslighting and moral blackmail.
That's gonna be the whole Thing's it's either what you
know about her own policy isn't true as in what
you're talking about the borders are everything else, or if
you don't like you're you're a racist and your sexist.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
That's it is. It is gaslighting plus moral blackmail equals
Kamala victory. That's the whole thing. Now.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I also think they're going to try to ratchet up
the societal pressure. In the wake of Trump being shot,
there were a lot of people out there that might
not have supported Trump before, as an example, that went
public and said yeah, Elon said it. I think Bill Ackman,
who is also a prominent venture capital guy, went forward
(25:10):
in the immediate aftermath of that shooting and they said, Hey,
Trump's my guy. There's going to be an attempt now
that Kamala is on the ticket that there is a
social capital cost contingent in being a Trump supporter, and
the more prominent or public of a role you have
in life, the more they will try to extract that
(25:31):
price from you if you are willing to come out
publicly and say hey, I'm all in for Trump. Make
no mistake, that was harder to do with Biden because
I think there was a general acknowledgment of his incompetence,
and so Trump v. Biden they weren't able to take
that same pound of flesh over your endorsement.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
They're going to try to do it with Kamlin. This
is what I said in the first hour.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I think the Steph Curry statement is also indicative of
what they're going to try to do to black men.
They're going to say, you're turning your back on your
race if you are not voting for Cobbla. Remember Joe
Biden tried to do this, if you ain't you ain't black,
if you're if you're not, if you're voting for Trump
or whatever, and that was what you in Chaine.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
He was too explicit about it. I mean, that was
cringey across the board. Everyone realized that was a ooh.
That was not a good moment for Biden. I mean, look,
Charlotte and the Breakfast Club was even like, what are
you saying, Like that's not that's not good. But he's
a white guy.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I bet Kamla is going to say it explicitly and
she's not going to get criticized for it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Well, but see, here's here's what I want to know, Clay.
You had said, I remember all all previous bets about
the I want to I'm gonna mark this down so
there's no uh, there's no debate. This is July twenty sixth. Okay,
all previous bets about the election outcome obviously are off
because it's a different election now. So I'll just to
give a so you can you can reh, you can say, oh,
this is a good question, yeah, because for you know,
(26:52):
for example, I said twenty five percent of black men
would vote for Trump against Biden. Do you think that
twenty five percent of black men and now that we
know what the new election is, will you stay with
that twenty five percent of black men will vote for
Trump over Kamala Harris. That's a tough I'm gonna have
to think about it over the weekend. That's what you
call long form teaes.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I'm actually concerned that that is going to have some
effect the pressure campaign on blackmail voters. Black women are
already voting ninety five to five for Democrats no matter what.
There isn't a lot of movement that can happen there.
I think the pressure on black men is going to
be intense to support Kamala Harris as a black woman,
(27:34):
even to the extent where some in this exit polling
may not tell the true to exit polers, because that's
what we rely on to try to figure out what
the numbers actually reflect that one I'm curious about. I
still think the overall turnout will be lower because I
don't think you're going to be able to create the
same sort of twenty twenty everything is the existential threat
(27:59):
in the same way in twenty twenty four. I do
think Kamala is gonna bump up the turnout. And you've
seen Kamala is now favored to win the popular vote
in the gambling markets. Trump was favored to win the
popular vote against Biden. Some of that may be the
honeymoon of Kamala, but I think also the expectation is
that California is going to turn out given that it
basically has one in every nine people in America, and
(28:22):
Trump is gonna lose California by more with Kamala on
the ticket as a native California than he would have
with me.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I'm still on now let me. I'm gonna look at
the turnout issue again, but uh, I mean, I'll still
give you your bet. Is bet your bet is better
on turnout with Kamala by far than it was with Biden.
There's a lot more energy out there, I think with Kamala.
Let me, let me, let me I'll do the assessing
of my side of the bet, sir. Okay, I better.
(28:49):
I think you've got a better take on that one. Now,
I told Kamala. I mean, I'm told Kamala Harris, you
know is going to be doing these great numbers and
and you know, we'll have to see how we get
into this a little bit here, right, I mean, right now,
I think it could be a sugar high, but I
don't want to necessarily. I think sugar hiu is what
(29:09):
Sean Hannity said about the polls. By the way, credit
to him, and I think that's accurate. But twenty five
percent of black men voting for Trump against difficult. I
will let you. I will let you out of this
if you want. Okay, you can get out of that bet,
(29:29):
or you can re up on Monday. All right, you
get to make the determination.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
The guys flag that one that I have to give
an official take on that one. Let me also hit
you with this buck. The data reflects that the maybe
the most impactful thing from Kamala Harris so far is
the number of double haters, that is, people who don't
like the Democrat and the Republican nominee has dropped precipitously.
(29:54):
I think it's gone from twenty percent of the overall
electorate according to the New York Times with their that
came out yesterday with Trump up one Yeah, it now
is down to eight percent. That's significant because I think
the oxygen supporting RFK Junior is diminishing in a hurry,
and you're actually seeing that RFK Junior was a halfway
(30:17):
point for Democrats who didn't want to vote Trump, but
we're not happy with Biden. Those people are coming back
home now and there is no oxygen for the RFK
Junior campaign now, and so I wonder on some level
whether he's going to end up dropping out and now
(30:37):
unfortunately Buck, I think RFK Junior is a drag on Trump.
I think because Kamala has brought back home. I thought
so all along. I told everybody I said it. You know,
they're always going to take more votes from the Democrat Mmm.
I think RFK is more of a problem for Trump
this time. I agree, and I think that's become even
(30:58):
more the case now that kama is in instead of Biden.
We come back major travel snaffoos all week long. Snaffoo
is probably not a strong enough word, particularly if you
were on Delta Airlines, my chosen airline. No Buck has
made an unbelievable decision, one that will unfortunately echo throughout
the annals of history, and I am not pleased.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
We'll talk about it in a second.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
In the meantime, one hundred and grand fifteen years ago
in two thousand and nine now worth roughly seventy k
in buying power today gone backwards thirty percent due to
inflation and out of control spending by our federal government.
Just to contrast, that one hundred thousand dollars if it
had been invested in gold be worth twice that and
then some today. How you protect the value of the

dollars in your savings account from inflation's up to you.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Buck.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
I'm flying on Sunday Southwest Airlines. Some of you out
there are like me, longtime Southwest Airlines flyers. I flew
up to Milwaukee. Southwest Airlines Nashville. It's the hub, one
of the hubs of Southwest Airlines. Along with Texas, Baltimore,
there's several cities where basically, if you want to fly,
(33:58):
you almost have to fly Southwest. They have had Have
you ever flown Southwest Airlines?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I yes, yes to Vegas?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Okay, yeah, because they're big in Vegas as well, another
big hub of THEIRS, LAX lots of flights into Los Angeles.
They now have done away with open seating and it
has thrown the travel industry into an uproar. For those
of you who don't know what I mean by open seating,
you bored as an AB or C boarding group member,
(34:28):
and you could pick any seat on the entire airplane.
There is no first class. There is no massive difference
by and large between one seat and another that has
been the staple of Southwest Airlines the entire time it
has existed. I bet I am in the top one
percent most frequent Southwest Airlines flyers. I've seen a lot
(34:48):
of you on the plane. I can't believe they're gonna
do this. I love this airline. It's easy to change
flights on the app. If suddenly I find out that
I can leave earlier, I have stay later wherever I
might be. I've been relying on this for a long time.
It has if you get on social media, it has
(35:09):
thrown everything for a loop. Some people are saying, hey,
this is great. Now you're gonna have a seat assignment.
Other people are saying, this is basically the end of
the Southwest Airlines experience as we have known it.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I would put myself in that camp.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
I like the egalitarian nature of it. Everybody's basically equal.
I still feel a little bit weird sitting in first
class when I do occasionally fly first class on another airline,
because everybody has to walk past you, and like you're
like sitting up there in more space doesn't exist on Southwest.
And I don't know now that everybody's gonna have assigned seats.
(35:46):
It's gonna get more complicated, It's gonna become more like
a traditional airline. I think it's a bad move. Put
me on the record as saying I am anti this choice.
You doesn't impact you at all because you, as a
New Yorker very rarely fly Southwest Airlines. But I bet
a huge percentage of our audience fly Southwest Airlines when
(36:07):
they are out and about traveling the country. Let me
know what you think. Do you agree with me? Or
am I totally out to launch on this one?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah? I wish I could have a strong opinion on
this one. I do have a strong opinion on the
leaning back in seats. I can't do it short domestic flights.
I swear if one more person tries to destroy my laptop,
I'm working on a book. I got edits now I'm
on the plane. You just smash that coach seat back.
(36:35):
I'm in middle coach sometimes, folks, that's just how it
rolls in radio world. And you smash my laptop with
your seat reclining. We can't allow the barbarians to win, Clay.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I'm already nervous about my flight to Israel next week.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
That's a long one. We'll be back with you on Monday.
Thanks for hanging
Third hour of Clay and Buck. Get's going right now.
Thanks for being here with us on this Friday, and
it's all about honing in on the contest. Now Kamala B.
Trump Trump v. Kamala plus Senate and House. Clay's been
looking at the Senate data in the last few minutes.
Could be better, could be better for us? Right now
(00:20):
we shall discuss more of that. You've had. Obama's come
out and formally endorse Kamala Harris. I don't think we
need to play that for you. You get the idea.
But so it is any theory that there was going
to be some big surprise at the DNC not not
going to happen. So it is now Kamala Harris, and
(00:44):
we shall see how Trump is able to adapt and
how his campaign adapts to this new reality. But I
had mentioned this before. I do want to point this out.
You know, Clay and I we're happy warriors, and we
do this show and we have fun, and you know,
we enjoy talking all of you, and we honestly or
so blessed, we love our jobs and we hope that
always comes across. And we'll talk about the policy deficiencies
(01:06):
and the wrongness and the failures of Kamala Harris. But
I also do want to take a moment to go
on the record to basically show you or to tell
you and show you that she's a person of a
low moral character. This is not And by the way,
(01:27):
I am not talking about Clay can differ than that.
I'm not talking about her Willie Brown situation thirty years ago.
I'm talking about what she did just a couple of
years ago when Brett Kavanaugh, who is now in the
Supreme Court was up for a Supreme Court seat at
the time and going through confirmation, and I can tell
(01:48):
you that things got so ugly that there were voices
in the Trump White House saying that Trump should pull
the nominee and that it was very close to happening.
And you would have had Brett Kavanaugh not only removed
from being in contention for the Supreme Court, you would
have had the destruction of a man's reputation. And with
(02:11):
that today, it's just like a destruction away from someone's soul.
I mean to convince the public that somebody was some
kind of like sexual predator or sexual deviant at age
like sixteen or whatever, it was too I mean it
was they was talking about it when they were in
high school, and there was no credibility to the allegations whatsoever.
(02:35):
If Blasi Ford's allegations were credible, any allegation is credible
just by someone saying it couldn't remember the year or
the month or where or who picked her up or
you know, the whole thing was just absolutely And the
way you knew it was garbage was that other women
came forward with increasingly insane stories also saying that Brett
(02:57):
Kavanaugh did you know this has become now a meme
on the right. You know that they were going to
try to stop Amy Coney Barrett from being on the
Supreme Court by having ten women come forward and say
that Amy Coney Barrett, you know it, sexually abused them,
like they'll just do this to anybody. In fact, so
many of the of the allegations against Kavanaugh, and this
is not talked about very much. Molly Hemingway wrote Justice
(03:17):
on Trial. I think my second Molly Hemingway book, Shout
out this week anyway, Molly does great work. Justice on Trial.
Great book goes into this in detail. And they were
all clay, you know, there were all these other allegations
that also made their way to the Senate that were,
you know, women claiming that Kavanaugh had raped them in
a state Cavanaugh had never in his life been to.
I mean, I think that's hard. I think if Kavanaugh
(03:39):
had never been to Rhode Island by age twenty five
or whatever, I don't think you could say that he
raped you in Rhode Island. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen,
and they didn't bring those forward. Kamala Harris knew about
those allegations. She was on the Senate Judiciary Committee. They
went with Blasi Ford because and think about this, everybody
they thought she was the least obviously insane and partisan.
(04:02):
Those two things can go together. This is a throwback
to Kamala at the start of that Senate Judiciary here
and we pulled the audio. I want you to hear
this play it. Good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I welcome everyone to this confirmation hearing on the nomination
of mister Chairman Britt Kevanall, mister Chairman, to serve as
Associate Justice.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Mister Chairman, I'd like to be recognized for a question
before we proceed, Mister Chairman, I'd like to be recognized
to ask a question before we proceed. The committee received
just last night, less than fifteen hours ago, thousand pages
of documents that we have not had an opportunity to
review or read or analyze.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You're out of order, I'll proceed.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
We cannot possibly move forward, mister chairman, A very warm well,
given the opportunity to have a meeting.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
She's basically obstructing government administration there. I mean, I know
she's a to do it, but this is just an obstruction.
This is the opening of the hearing, and we could
pull out I'll find for you, guys, like a question
or two that she posed to Kavanaugh, But she was
really engineering or part of the engineering of this whole thing.
I mean, Clay, what Democrats did to cav it was
(05:17):
a COVID, was a sea change movement, and how a
lot of us, I think, see not only the Democrat
Party in America, but the kind of uniparty globally. But
I have never thought of Democrats the same way after
what I saw them do in that Kavanaugh hearing. It
to do that to a man who was so manifestly
innocent and also such a manifestly decent guy, A good guy, yes,
(05:41):
in front of his wife and children in the whole
country is a moral disgrace beyond words. And Kamala Harris
was at the forefront. She was the leading the band
on the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, and some people are not sophisticated enough having been
involved in chrome investigations to understand what was going on
there to what extent that was a railroading. Whatever you
think of Kamala Harris, she was a prosecutor and she
was the Attorney General of California. She would have known
(06:17):
that based on the evidence there. You couldn't have brought
charges in the nineteen eighties against Brett Kavanaugh, much less
in twenty eighteen when he was standing for the Supreme Court,
and it was just such a grotesque I think the
worst application of and I'm using the quotation phrase here
(06:41):
justice that we probably have seen in the twenty first century.
Even the law fair against Trump, which I think is
an awful example of what the Department of Justice has
done to make everything political in this country to try
to get him. I think the Kavanaugh treatment was worse
because there's not even a colorable claim against Brett Kavanov
(07:05):
for having done anything wrong. And the people that they
brought forward to make the allegations, Christine Blaze Ford was
the most significant of them. She didn't know where she was,
she didn't know what year it was. And even Buck,
if you accepted and this is so key. One of
the things you have to do when you're a lawyer,
and I've done criminal law, I've been involved in a
(07:28):
variety of cases over the years in my past life.
One of the things you have to do is sometimes
presume that everything that's being alleged is one hundred percent true,
even if you're on the opposite side. Let's presume that
everything this person says is true. What then it wasn't
(07:49):
even a crime if everything she said was true, Buck,
Teenagers go to a house party, get drunk. One of
them tries to make out with another one, and the
girl doesn't want to make out and leaves after the
guy tries to kiss her. There isn't even a crime
there even and look, it didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The guys you grew up with, you know, I said
that back then.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I said, Look, if the standard is you try to
kiss a girl who doesn't want to kiss you, necessarily
in high school, there are an awful lot of dudes
out there that should be in handcuffs right now. Because
teenagers are awkward, trying to understand social cues are difficult,
especially if you throw in, unfortunately alcohol consumption, and then
(08:39):
you're trying to figure out, does this girl like me?
Does this boy like me? If every single person who
is a teenager and has attempted to kiss someone who
didn't like them was in prison, we would have to
build a lot of brand new prisons, right. I mean,
there are a lot of awkward teenage interactions. It didn't
happen based on the evidence. But even if you presume Boom,
(09:00):
everything that she said is true. A guy tries to
kiss a girl in the nineteen eighties when he's like
sixteen years old at a house party, and forty years
later he's not eligible to breed be a Supreme Court justice.
I think America rejected this, but Kamala Harris led the
charge there. I think her record does matter and we
(09:22):
have to bring it back up.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
What she did was it was it's beyond political disagreement.
What she did was disgusting, beyond words. I mean, it's
it's it's a low, grotesque thing to do as a
human being, to try to destroy someone's reputation, and make
them and not destroyed the reputation like oh, you're not
(09:45):
good at your job or something. You're you're a sexual
predator or a sexual devian or whatever it is that
they wanted to say, you a sex criminal. And it's
a lie. I mean, what could be more, you know,
just more horrific to do to a person who's manifestly
in and as Kavanaugh obviously was. And Clay didn't bring
(10:07):
this up. The second woman came forward and she said
that Kavanaugh, I mean, you got it. It's hard to
believe when you go back and read a bit this
stuff again that anybody went along. I had people from
I had anchors from CNN I will not name them
texting me saying, you are destroying your media career by
(10:28):
going against Blasi Ford. Everyone knows she's telling the truth.
And I responded with words that I cannot say on
the radio show, but it involved me telling them something off.
They They had a second woman who came forward and
said that she that anyway that he touched her with
(10:50):
like his genitalia when when he was in college or something,
which nobody believed. Whoknew Bret Kavanaugh in college? But it
doesn't even matter because what really came out was it
took her a week of talking to therapists or something
like that or no, I'm sorry, memory experts to help
her remember that this thing happened to her, that came
up to So she.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Was in college and she remembers it so and she
was sober, and she remembers it so well that it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Took her a week of talking to a memory and
everyone's like, well, that's and then the third woman came
forward and said that Kavanaugh was part of I think
her name was check this guy's I think her name
was Julie Swetnik. Was this the gang rape crew? Yes,
that Kavanaugh was part of a mysterious high school gang
rape crew who would drug teenage girls. They were teenagers too,
(11:38):
drug teenage girls and rape them at parties all the time.
And she though was older, this came out than Kavanaugh.
So she was a college student who was coming back
and going to high school parties and not saying anything
about the gang rape crew. No criminal report, no one
ever heard about this, nothing, and people put her on
TV like she wasn't completely insane. Yeah, And Kamala Harris
(12:03):
tried to use these stories to ruin him man, she
is horrible. She's not a good person. That's why I
just wanted to get so. If anythink, oh, over being
too harsh on or whatever, I'm sorry. She has abused
her power for evil purposes. She's not a good person.
And also a lot of people still believe all this.
(12:23):
That's the other one of the things I thought was
most tragic about this. I hope that they've since stopped it.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
He coached Kavanaugh did his little girls' basketball teams, and
they tried to say, based on these stories, he shouldn't
be able to coach little league basketball. I hope that
that all got tamped down, and I hope that he
is now able to coach his girls. I think he
has two daughters. I hope he's able to coach them again.
(12:52):
I've coached my boys a lot of different sports over
the years. They tried to destroy his life. Remember he
was already a DC Circuit Court judge. He had already
been through all the other confirmations. They tried to destroy
his life based on manufactured.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Lies, and it almost worked.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
And they're still I bet buck forty five percent of
the American public believes all of those things are true,
that he's a gang rapist, that he is a rapist
who got sent and got seated on the Supreme Court.
The facts don't matter because they don't get the counter argument.
They just buy into whatever they're told. I do think
(13:33):
on a positive that was kind of the end of
me Too, because a lot of people said, wait a minute,
you can't just presume that a woman's telling the truth
anymore than you can presume a man's telling the truth.
And it feels like to me that was the beginning
of the end of sort of the whole me too movement.
And certainly it seems to me like we've moved back
(13:53):
a little bit in the direction of, hey, let's actually
require some facts now. They went after Trump and continue
to go after Trump on this stuff. But I do
think the American public rejected it, but unfortunately way too
many believed it. Look as I'm speaking to you right now,
the Olympics are underway, the opening ceremonies from Paris. If
you're a casual sports fan, probably a good chance you're
(14:16):
going to watch swimming, maybe a decent chance you're going
to watch track and field. Maybe you will be out
there watching a wide variety of the competitions to see
who's going to be winning gold medals over the next
couple of weeks. Right now you can get hooked up,

Sexton voices of sanity an insane world. Welcome back in Clay, Travis,
Buck Sexton show rolling through the final hour, another crazy
fourteen hours up, about a half hour, fourteen and a
(16:03):
half hours up, Another half hour to go here. Tom
wants to weigh in the Olympics opening ceremonies underway from Paris.
We mentioned earlier Steph Curry and Steve Kerr, the coach
and one of the star players, immediately get to Paris
and decide that even though they're on the US men's team,
(16:25):
they want to endorse Kamala Harris, and Tom in Florida says,
that makes you want to root against.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The US team.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
So before you answer that, did you watch the US
back in the ninety two Dream Team era? Were you
a big fan like Buck and I were talking about.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Shoot Bird, Jordan, all of them. That was great?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
So you're a basketball fan. It's not like you're someone
who is not a sports fan. So you remember rooting
for that original Dream team. What's your take now on
this team?
Speaker 6 (16:59):
It's the same as Meghan Rappino. I hope that Steph
Curry is going down to court with two seconds left,
they're behind by one point for the gold and he
throws up an air ball, just like Megan Rapino kicked
the ball over the net for the women and lust if.
It was one of the happiest days in my look,
and that's what I hope happens to them. They should
see him mouth shut and played basketball.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I love I love our people play because our people
are hardcore. When it comes to you spit on the flag,
you betray America like they're not. They're not going to
let it go. I love it. Not a young man.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I don't know exactly how old, but one of the
happiest days of his life was Megan Rapino air mailing
a penalty kick. It's like, I don't know how many
kids he has, is like kid one, kid two, kid three,
fourth best day of my life Megan Repino airmailing.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
There's a little exaggeration, but I respect the sentiment. I
respect where his head is at, and I like it.
You know, you don't you know, we're all mist together
here in America, or we're not. We don't let the
commies get away with their nonsense. You know what, a
brilliant CEO for goes what could be a very lucrative
salary and decides, I'm just going to take a dollar
in compensation in terms of cash. You got to be curious, right.
(18:07):
Porter Stansbury's that CEO. And not only that, he found
one of the best financial research companies in the whole country,
really in the whole world. He's also a friend of
mine and a business partner, a guy I've known for
ten years now. Porter took his salary down to a
dollar and is talking about it publicly because he sees
a new form of money in America and he thinks
this new form of a money, form of money could
(18:28):
make you a lot of money. Thousands of Americans and
all kinds of full time roles are already compensated in
this new way. It's a new currency, if you will,
That's what Porter's calling it, and he's hoping to change
the public's knowledge about it so that you can know
how you can benefit. There is a presentation with details
online you should go see for free at secret Currency
(18:49):
twenty twenty four dot com. That's secret currency twenty twenty
four dot com. Well, welcome back in team to play,
and I've got a few things we want to hit
here before we Wow. I can't believe it's already gonna
be the de thing You're very soon one is. I
I just had to note this Politico with a tweet here.
(19:10):
Politico is, of course, the preferred insider DC politics web blog,
and they write, Kamala Harris faces greater security risks because
she's a woman and a person of color, and the
Secret Service is almost certainly taking that into account. That's Politico.
(19:31):
I just okay, I mean, whether that's true or whatever.
Put that Clay Trump was shot two weeks ago. Yeah,
and Politico was writing articles about how Kamala is in
so much danger because she's a woman and a person
of color. I don't think they've ever written I get.
I promise you if you go back and look, there
(19:52):
has never been some random news story in political but like,
oh like, because of all the rhetoric about Trump is hitler,
he faces actually much more serious security risks. However much
we all despise the Democrat media, it is not enough.
It is not enough.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Also, to be clear, don't harm anyone any point in
your life. Right, but if you look at the data
on who is actually victimizing black women, it's overwhelmingly black men.
The implication of Politico's story there is that Kamala Harris,
(20:32):
as a black woman, is more likely to be killed
by a white man, right, Like that's the parenthetical. Then
they're not they're not putting in there than anyone else.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
They mean a white nationalist racist is whether that's the implication.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
That's what that's the implication of their story. And they're
using rates of violence against black women to justify why
she's at a higher risk than a white man would be.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I think they're just saying, because she's black, some racists
will try to do something, uh, you know, horrific. I mean,
I I don't.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Think that there is there is data that black women
are victims of crimes at a much higher rate than
white No, I know, but I'm saying I don't think
that that's even necessarily there.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think they're thinking is just she's a minority woman,
therefore some racist is going to try to harm her,
which of course is see I said this as soon
as Trump got shot too. I'm like I would be
if if someone, god forbid, had taken a shot and
and it had, you know, graised Joe Biden's here, I
would be utterly horrified. Yeah, And the Secret Service director
should have been fired immediately. For now would have called
(21:34):
the Secret Service sector to be fired, and we would
have been trashing the response of Secret Service and that
of a you know, the whole thing, no question about it.
But you know this is this is the price of principles,
is you have to actually believe in a principle and
apply it as one. You know, with Democrats, everything is
just an opportunity for power. Oh you know, it's everyone
should be so ware. And also I'm just going to
(21:55):
say this that they're going to create this narrative of
there's so much racism against Comma, there's so much racism
against Kamala and sexism and sexism against Kamala, and then
if she wins, they're not gonna be like, you know,
maybe we overestimated the racism and sexism against Kamala, Like
maybe the country that just elected the first black woman president.
Remember with Barack Obama was if you didn't like him,
you were racist. In the beginning, and then he won,
(22:15):
and then he won for eight years, and actually, race relations,
by the numbers in this country, as we all know
you can look at, it got worse, especially according to
the media, which started using terms like racism, white nationalists,
and other terms of racial strife by a factor of
like one hundred times more. I mean, it was crazy
(22:37):
under Obama's president, because it's a way of stifling descent. Wait,
you don't like Obama. Sounds kind of racist. You disagree
with Obamacare sounds kind of racist. No, well that's what
they're gonna do with Kamala too. I mean, you already
are seeing it in their trying to say, hey, even
referring to Kamala by her first name is a form
of a racism and sexism when the reality is people
(23:01):
pick the name that is more uncommon to use to
signify someone. For instance, we were just talking about the
original Dream Team. Most people don't refer to Michael Jordan
as Michael because Michael is a very common name. Jordan
much less common. Harris, Kamala's last name is very common. Kamala,
(23:21):
her first name is not right like almost all this
Tiger Woods, Woods is a very common name. Tiger is
not branding Bernie Bernie Sanders. Bernie is a less common
name than Sanders. People use the signifier that is most
likely to be recognized of a first or last name.
(23:42):
It's not about racism and sexism, but that's the route
that they're already going to try and attack here, and
I just think it's going to get much worse over
the next one hundred days. We talked about earlier in
the show, the clear attempt to scrub Kamala's history as
vice pres isn't it. They are doing everything they can
(24:03):
to try to protect her from attacks, and we don't
even mentioned this, but there's stories out there. This is
all a direct response to the talking points that Kamala's
campaign sent out. They said she was never called the
borders are Did you see the sheet of paper with
all the facts. It's not even hidden, it's so transparent.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Kamala's whole campaign is an exercise in gaslighting and moral blackmail.
That's gonna be the whole Thing's it's either what you
know about her own policy isn't true as in what
you're talking about the borders are everything else, or if
you don't like you're you're a racist and your sexist.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
That's it is. It is gaslighting plus moral blackmail equals
Kamala victory. That's the whole thing. Now.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I also think they're going to try to ratchet up
the societal pressure. In the wake of Trump being shot,
there were a lot of people out there that might
not have supported Trump before, as an example, that went
public and said yeah, Elon said it. I think Bill Ackman,
who is also a prominent venture capital guy, went forward
(25:10):
in the immediate aftermath of that shooting and they said, Hey,
Trump's my guy. There's going to be an attempt now
that Kamala is on the ticket that there is a
social capital cost contingent in being a Trump supporter, and
the more prominent or public of a role you have
in life, the more they will try to extract that
(25:31):
price from you if you are willing to come out
publicly and say hey, I'm all in for Trump. Make
no mistake, that was harder to do with Biden because
I think there was a general acknowledgment of his incompetence,
and so Trump v. Biden they weren't able to take
that same pound of flesh over your endorsement.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
They're going to try to do it with Kamlin. This
is what I said in the first hour.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I think the Steph Curry statement is also indicative of
what they're going to try to do to black men.
They're going to say, you're turning your back on your
race if you are not voting for Cobbla. Remember Joe
Biden tried to do this, if you ain't you ain't black,
if you're if you're not, if you're voting for Trump
or whatever, and that was what you in Chaine.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
He was too explicit about it. I mean, that was
cringey across the board. Everyone realized that was a ooh.
That was not a good moment for Biden. I mean, look,
Charlotte and the Breakfast Club was even like, what are
you saying, Like that's not that's not good. But he's
a white guy.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I bet Kamla is going to say it explicitly and
she's not going to get criticized for it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Well, but see, here's here's what I want to know, Clay.
You had said, I remember all all previous bets about
the I want to I'm gonna mark this down so
there's no uh, there's no debate. This is July twenty sixth. Okay,
all previous bets about the election outcome obviously are off
because it's a different election now. So I'll just to
give a so you can you can reh, you can say, oh,
this is a good question, yeah, because for you know,
(26:52):
for example, I said twenty five percent of black men
would vote for Trump against Biden. Do you think that
twenty five percent of black men and now that we
know what the new election is, will you stay with
that twenty five percent of black men will vote for
Trump over Kamala Harris. That's a tough I'm gonna have
to think about it over the weekend. That's what you
call long form teaes.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I'm actually concerned that that is going to have some
effect the pressure campaign on blackmail voters. Black women are
already voting ninety five to five for Democrats no matter what.
There isn't a lot of movement that can happen there.
I think the pressure on black men is going to
be intense to support Kamala Harris as a black woman,
(27:34):
even to the extent where some in this exit polling
may not tell the true to exit polers, because that's
what we rely on to try to figure out what
the numbers actually reflect that one I'm curious about. I
still think the overall turnout will be lower because I
don't think you're going to be able to create the
same sort of twenty twenty everything is the existential threat
(27:59):
in the same way in twenty twenty four. I do
think Kamala is gonna bump up the turnout. And you've
seen Kamala is now favored to win the popular vote
in the gambling markets. Trump was favored to win the
popular vote against Biden. Some of that may be the
honeymoon of Kamala, but I think also the expectation is
that California is going to turn out given that it
basically has one in every nine people in America, and
(28:22):
Trump is gonna lose California by more with Kamala on
the ticket as a native California than he would have
with me.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I'm still on now let me. I'm gonna look at
the turnout issue again, but uh, I mean, I'll still
give you your bet. Is bet your bet is better
on turnout with Kamala by far than it was with Biden.
There's a lot more energy out there, I think with Kamala.
Let me, let me, let me I'll do the assessing
of my side of the bet, sir. Okay, I better.
(28:49):
I think you've got a better take on that one. Now,
I told Kamala. I mean, I'm told Kamala Harris, you
know is going to be doing these great numbers and
and you know, we'll have to see how we get
into this a little bit here, right, I mean, right now,
I think it could be a sugar high, but I
don't want to necessarily. I think sugar hiu is what
(29:09):
Sean Hannity said about the polls. By the way, credit
to him, and I think that's accurate. But twenty five
percent of black men voting for Trump against difficult. I
will let you. I will let you out of this
if you want. Okay, you can get out of that bet,
(29:29):
or you can re up on Monday. All right, you
get to make the determination.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
The guys flag that one that I have to give
an official take on that one. Let me also hit
you with this buck. The data reflects that the maybe
the most impactful thing from Kamala Harris so far is
the number of double haters, that is, people who don't
like the Democrat and the Republican nominee has dropped precipitously.
(29:54):
I think it's gone from twenty percent of the overall
electorate according to the New York Times with their that
came out yesterday with Trump up one Yeah, it now
is down to eight percent. That's significant because I think
the oxygen supporting RFK Junior is diminishing in a hurry,
and you're actually seeing that RFK Junior was a halfway
(30:17):
point for Democrats who didn't want to vote Trump, but
we're not happy with Biden. Those people are coming back
home now and there is no oxygen for the RFK
Junior campaign now, and so I wonder on some level
whether he's going to end up dropping out and now
(30:37):
unfortunately Buck, I think RFK Junior is a drag on Trump.
I think because Kamala has brought back home. I thought
so all along. I told everybody I said it. You know,
they're always going to take more votes from the Democrat Mmm.
I think RFK is more of a problem for Trump
this time. I agree, and I think that's become even
(30:58):
more the case now that kama is in instead of Biden.
We come back major travel snaffoos all week long. Snaffoo
is probably not a strong enough word, particularly if you
were on Delta Airlines, my chosen airline. No Buck has
made an unbelievable decision, one that will unfortunately echo throughout
the annals of history, and I am not pleased.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
We'll talk about it in a second.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
In the meantime, one hundred and grand fifteen years ago
in two thousand and nine now worth roughly seventy k
in buying power today gone backwards thirty percent due to
inflation and out of control spending by our federal government.
Just to contrast, that one hundred thousand dollars if it
had been invested in gold be worth twice that and
then some today. How you protect the value of the
(31:42):
dollars in your savings account from inflation's up to you.

Buck.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
I'm flying on Sunday Southwest Airlines. Some of you out
there are like me, longtime Southwest Airlines flyers. I flew
up to Milwaukee. Southwest Airlines Nashville. It's the hub, one
of the hubs of Southwest Airlines. Along with Texas, Baltimore,
there's several cities where basically, if you want to fly,
(33:58):
you almost have to fly Southwest. They have had Have
you ever flown Southwest Airlines?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I yes, yes to Vegas?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Okay, yeah, because they're big in Vegas as well, another
big hub of THEIRS, LAX lots of flights into Los Angeles.
They now have done away with open seating and it
has thrown the travel industry into an uproar. For those
of you who don't know what I mean by open seating,
you bored as an AB or C boarding group member,
(34:28):
and you could pick any seat on the entire airplane.
There is no first class. There is no massive difference
by and large between one seat and another that has
been the staple of Southwest Airlines the entire time it
has existed. I bet I am in the top one
percent most frequent Southwest Airlines flyers. I've seen a lot
(34:48):
of you on the plane. I can't believe they're gonna
do this. I love this airline. It's easy to change
flights on the app. If suddenly I find out that
I can leave earlier, I have stay later wherever I
might be. I've been relying on this for a long time.
It has if you get on social media, it has
(35:09):
thrown everything for a loop. Some people are saying, hey,
this is great. Now you're gonna have a seat assignment.
Other people are saying, this is basically the end of
the Southwest Airlines experience as we have known it.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I would put myself in that camp.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
I like the egalitarian nature of it. Everybody's basically equal.
I still feel a little bit weird sitting in first
class when I do occasionally fly first class on another airline,
because everybody has to walk past you, and like you're
like sitting up there in more space doesn't exist on Southwest.
And I don't know now that everybody's gonna have assigned seats.
(35:46):
It's gonna get more complicated, It's gonna become more like
a traditional airline. I think it's a bad move. Put
me on the record as saying I am anti this choice.
You doesn't impact you at all because you, as a
New Yorker very rarely fly Southwest Airlines. But I bet
a huge percentage of our audience fly Southwest Airlines when
(36:07):
they are out and about traveling the country. Let me
know what you think. Do you agree with me? Or
am I totally out to launch on this one?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah? I wish I could have a strong opinion on
this one. I do have a strong opinion on the
leaning back in seats. I can't do it short domestic flights.
I swear if one more person tries to destroy my laptop,
I'm working on a book. I got edits now I'm
on the plane. You just smash that coach seat back.
(36:35):
I'm in middle coach sometimes, folks, that's just how it
rolls in radio world. And you smash my laptop with
your seat reclining. We can't allow the barbarians to win, Clay.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I'm already nervous about my flight to Israel next week.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
That's a long one. We'll be back with you on Monday.
Thanks for hanging
