Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Back in our number three Thursday edition, Klay Travis Buck
Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us
as we are rolling through the news of the day.
And I told you I had an optimistic take on culture, sports, music, movies.
(00:21):
It appears to me that there is a groundswell of
desire which I think could be so important to the
discourse in this country for America to go back to
the era that Buck, even though he's much younger than
me and I, grew up in and that many of
(00:44):
you out there around our ages also grew up in
the nineteen eighties and the nineteen nineties. Many of you
out there are nostalgic in many ways for those eras,
even the early parts of the two thas, but in
particular the eighties and the nineties, because we had a
(01:05):
crazy era. Then people might have disagreed politically, but we
didn't decide when somebody voted different than us that they
were despicable, as MSNBC has been calling Trump supporters today
or last night. We played that audio for you earlier,
and I've been arguing for a long time that really
(01:27):
the I would say celebrity athlete who characterized that era,
better than anyone was Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan to this
day is still the most popular athlete in America. On
my last book before this current one was called Republicans
by Sneakers. To crazy stat for you, At the time
(01:49):
I wrote that book, Michael Jordan's Air Jordan Sneakers still
sold more every year than every current NBA player combined,
Lebron Steph Curry. You roll them all up together, they
sold less than Michael Jordan's Air Jordan's were selling. I
think that's still close to true even today. Why was
(02:11):
that because Michael Jordan's hallmark was his excellence, and he
wanted everyone to celebrate his excellence. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, Strait, Republican,
Democrat Independent. In fact, my book was called Republicans by
Sneakers two because that was a quote from Michael Jordan
(02:31):
in that era when he was asked why he didn't
get political. Then suddenly that all changed. In the Trump era,
athletes decided they had to use their platforms and they
had to be super partisan, and they had to come
out in favor of Hillary Clinton. They had to come
out in favor of Joe Biden. It's dying down now
Buck in twenty twenty four and yesterday, there were three
(02:54):
different clips that I think tell an interesting story. First,
let's start with Patrick Holmes, who I would argue is
the single most famous male athlete in America today, quarterback
for the Kansas City Chiefs. His wife Brittany has suggested,
based on things she's liked, that she is a Trump supporter.
(03:15):
Trump has been complementary of Patrick, Mahomes and Brittany. He
was asked about it at a press conference yesterday. This
is what he said for.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
President Trump ro family against the Fox News in relations
to his campaign.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I just wonder what your reaction is to seeing that.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, I think I've always said I don't want I
don't want my place in my platform to be used
to endorse a candidate or do whatever each Either way,
I think my place is to inform people to get
registered to vote, is to inform people to do their
own research and then make their best decision for them
and their family. And so I think that's every time
I'm on this stage and I get asked these questions,
(03:49):
I'm going to refer back to that, because I think
that's what makes America so great.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Pretty great answer in many ways.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
You know what's funny about this, Clay is a lot
of people hear that, people like you and me and
others will listen and say, I wish pretty much every
athlete would just do this. Although than athletes, look, well,
we're not allowed to have, you know, opinions on politics,
but I have more and Hollywood actors, you know, famous
people of all kinds. I wish they would just stop
(04:17):
with the But because he's not willing to smugly lecture
everybody on politics when we just want to celebrate athletic greatness,
people are gonna assume he's Republican.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You know that, right?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I mean, this is now the only people that are like,
I don't want to be annoying about my politics are Republican.
If you're a big Kamala voter, you're telling everybody you
gotta vote for Kamala.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
What I said, and I'll stand by it, just to
be fair. If your wife is voting Trump, what are
the odds that demand isn't how many honest questions? How
many married couples out there? I think there are a
lot that split, right, we have a gender divide. I
think there's lots of men who would vote Trump. I
think there's women who would vote Kamala. I think there's
(05:02):
lots of those households. I think there are many fewer
households where wife votes Trump and husband votes Kamala. Would
you agree with that? That is a like a very
like there's lots where both do the same. My household,
we're gonna have double Trump voters. I think it's fair
to say, buck your household, you'll have double Trump voters.
Oh yeah, yeah. Just so there's a lot of.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Harry's like, what was that criticism of Trump you had.
Let's let's tighten that up a little bit, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, So there's lots of households out there that are
gonna double Kamala vote. I do not believe there's very
many households where woman is a Trump supporter and husband
is a Kamala supporter. So I think you're right there,
But I do think it's significant. He went on to say,
I don't judge people by their politics. I can get
along with anybody because they kind of let him on.
(05:51):
Because Taylor Swift has decided that she's going to endorse Kamala, okay.
Caitlin Clark was also asked the same question yes, I
would submit to you that Caitlin Clark is probably the
most famous female athlete in America right now. Here's what
she said.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
You liked an Instagram post last night from Taylor Swift
that got a lot of attention, and I'm just curious
if you could tell us what that post meant to
you and if you are in fact potentially going to
endorse Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
I think for myself, as you know, I have this
amazing platform, so I think the biggest thing would be
just encourage people to register to vote. I think for
myself is the second time I could vote in an election
at age twenty two. Had the vote when I was eighteen,
So I think do that. That's the biggest thing I
can do with the platform that I have. And that's
the same thing Trey did.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
And I think continue to educate yourself the candidates that
we have, the policies that they're supporting.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
I think that's the biggest thing you can do, and
that's what I would recommend to every single person that
has that opportunity in our coachry.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You know what okay play?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You know, and obviously you follow sports professional sports a
lot more than I do. That's goes that saying I
watched the super Bowl and the US Open and that's
about it. But that's somebody who wants to build a
brand that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Is what that is?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
That's what that is. That's somebody who's like, you know what,
I don't want to antagonize half of my prospective ticket
shoe Jersey, I don't know, you know, skincare product, whatever
she's done.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That is Michael Jordan's example, or Tiger Woods for that matter. Okay,
one more because I think this one is funny too.
Usher was on our favorite show, The View. Usher. If
those of you don't know, prominent black musician Joy Behar
just went all in on, Hey, don't you need to
endorse Kamala here's the answer, here's the response. In this
(07:45):
emergency that we're in.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
I think that whose artist.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Has come out and speak for Kamala against Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Because he is an existential threat to the country.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
What do you say to that?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
You know what.
Speaker 9 (07:55):
I don't get too deep into politics. I didn't get
a chance to qatch the debate last night. Obviously, have
been watching like everybody else. I think voting is an
individual choice. I think that you're right. You have to
look at the reality of the country that we are
and the country that we want to be and find
the candidate that you feel both who fits the category
(08:18):
of where we want to be. And that's it, and
that's what you vote. Based off of who you highlight
and how you choose to highlight it on whatever platform
you had, is your prerogative.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Look to me, Buck Mahomes, Caitlin Clark, and Usher Boom
Boom boom. Maybe they all have the same pr person,
but all three of them, especially Usher there when Joy
Behar is like trying to brate him on a super
left wing show to endorse Kamala and admit and hit
her opinion that Trump's a horrible human being. I think
(08:52):
that's a significant cultural shift that we're seeing, Yes.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
And I think it's one. It's a it's the business
move that we thought everybody was going to be making
in the public sphere until really about what fifteen to now.
I mean, their Hollywood actresses who've always been very vocal
about their politics. But I mean, if you were just
trying to maximize your brand's profitability, you tended not to
(09:17):
antagonize half the country. That changed, Yes, that changed, and
then you had people like Colin Kaepernick who were dragging
it in the other direction of Oh, it's worth so
much more to you to be woke and to squeeze
everything you can out of that that spitting in the
face of half of your audience when they don't care
what you think about the following things is that's a
trade off you should make. I do think the pendulum
(09:39):
has started to swing back. You know, it's the bud
Light effect. It's a number of what was the what's
that store target with all the sort of lgbt Q stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Forgetting the children tuck like bathing suits and ye stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
People were just like and the you know, the Disney
chief creative executive who's like, well, I have a pans
sexual child and a non binary child, and everyone's like,
this is in charge of what projects get made at
Disney for kids? What, by the way, what are the
odds I know we've talked about that, what are the
odds that the parent just happens to have a non
binary child and just happens to have a pan sexual
(10:16):
child and also a super left wing But these have
nothing to do with each other, right, It's not in doctrination.
It's just nature not true. So I think this is
this is encouraging at some level. But play also I
think that, Look, I don't follow again, you know the
sports stuff way better than I do. But with Patrick Mahomes,
he always comes across to me, okay, just observing observing
(10:40):
him as I have in different interviews and things. He's
a guy who comes across as humble while being a superstar,
which is so refreshing to people. You know, he's a
guy who there's a gratitude that he has all the
time for being the best quarterback in the NFL, for
(11:00):
being a celebrated superstar, for being worth what is you worth?
Forty fifty million dollars a year? Whatever's on his content
yea easier yeaheah, whatever it is. I mean, I'm guessing
he comes across like a guy who really is like,
I want to inspire people and entertain them with my
excellence on the field and make people, you know, aspire
for things in their own lives because of the greatness
(11:21):
that they're around and that they see on my team,
and that has value to people. That that's something you know,
you don't need people to be telling you know, the
problem with the athletes is a lot of them want
to lecture on politics, and I'm just like, you don't
know what you tell You're just not very well informed
on politics, right, correct?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And you wouldn't expect them to be right because most
people who have to commit, and you do a great
deal of time, effort, and energy to being excellent at
one particular field, it's not that often that you're an
expert in another field, right. And I think it's fine
for being able to share their opinions. But I've always
been of the opinion that the Michael Jordan era, the
(11:59):
Tiger Woods era, was a unity era where we could
all watch a great athlete and we didn't need to
think at all about anything other than their athletic excellence.
And it feels to me when you got Patrick Mahomes
and Caitlin Clark in the same day, even in the
midst of a high stress political universe, saying yeah, I'm
(12:21):
not gonna endorse, it feels like a major cultural swift shift.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Swift shift by what Taylor Swift is doing. I would
even be happy with a move toward more prominent public
figures just saying look, I'm gonna vote Trump or I'm
gonna vote Kamala. But I understand it's a personal decision,
and I just encourage everybody to do their own homework
and get out there whatever. The thing that really sits
in you know, sticks in people's car, the thing it
(12:45):
really is annoying is you know, well, I just want
to tell everybody, like, I can't imagine how you wouldn't
vote for this person or that person.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's like or I'm like the Chelsea Handlers of the world,
being like, I'm gonna move to Canada, and then you know,
the their side loses and they don't move to Canada.
We always I'm actually.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Glad they do that now though, because it's so funny,
because it becomes such a cliche.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
You know.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
It's also look not throwing shade at Canada. Very nice people,
you're gonna leave the US. I don't even know if
that would be choice number one. It's really cold in
the winter, not even close to.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Choice number one for me. I mean not even in
the like, I'm not sure it's top twenty for me. Sorry, Canada.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Wow, our Canada listeners dropping off Vancouver is really nice.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I don't do cold weather.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You know, they have the most overheated in some of
the major I think in all the major cities now,
like the most overheated real estate markets in the entire world.
Crazy China has come in, I mean honestly, especially in
places like Vancouver and brought up Chinese people have tre
Probably you have the guy who is eating the apple
who's like, yeah, who says that? Why who said that?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Tell me who you know?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
That guy from that family clip, the leader of the
Conservative opposition there. I saw him on a video where
he was talking about how sixty percent of the cost
of building any whether a house or department, any new
housing unit in Canada is purely government regulation and taxation.
Now sixty that's another part of it too. It's just
they've made it so expensive to build anything that there's
(14:10):
a housing crunch and people can't afford to find places
to live.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I got a Canadian brother in law, by the way,
really yeah, now now I'm really not going to be
able to visit.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You know, we we let's get a call from Canada
justcause we haven't heard from you in a while. We
got a few listeners up in Canada right now. We
all want the great white snowy north of Canada. All right,
let's talk about this for a second. One with a
Biden administration announced their next multi billion dollar free wheeling
expenditure before the official lame duck period commences. There are
(14:46):
several informed people out there think that it's sooner than later. Look,
our federal government's going to keep spending and spending and spending.
Right that's just the reality of what we face right now.
We're already thirty five trillion dollars in debt, give or take.
So what can you do to protect your savings in
the bank?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Gold?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I own gold, You should own gold. Gold has only
increased in value, and having a portion of your savings
invested in gold is a good thing. The spending power
of your saved dollars is going down, the value of
gold has been going up. Purchasing and owning gold or
silver is also easier than you think, thanks to the

Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You'll never guess who put on a Maga hat Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
He's there and here he is talking to the people
and he takes a Maga hat. This is real, everybody,
He really did this. And this is what Joe Biden
said on video in Pennsylvania as he put on the
Maga hat.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
There you go, man, you got I made that hat.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
My autograph I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Come on, I'm going that phone.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, I'm crowding Norman cats.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
No eating dogs and cats, he says at the end
of Clay with his MAGA hat on. It's actually a
funny moment with Biden.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I actually watched this video and I thought it was
one of the best, you know, normal moments of a
video they've had with Biden in some time. For those
of you who haven't seen it, he's visiting there's an
older guy with a Trump hat on. They're kind of,
you know, talking back and forth in a friendly way
about both being old farts, and he asks them to
put He asked him to sign the hat, and then
(17:38):
he asked him to put on the hat, and Biden
goes back and forth joking with him, and then puts
on a Trump twenty twenty four hat.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Buck.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
We, I mean, we need to talk about this, but
we kind of mentioned it. I think deep down, Joe
Biden kind of wants CALMLA to lose.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I do he absolutely does. I totally agree with you
on that. We'll get into some more of that here

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We are
joined now by Congressmanship Roy of Texas and let me
dive ahead in the all right off the top and
then the most divisive issue in this date of Texas today,
how are you going to handle the Texas Texas A
(19:04):
and M rivalry returning Thanksgiving week? Will you and your
wife be able to coexist. How will your children do?
What is the prognosis there on the biggest dividing line
in the state of Texas right now. Well, Clay, good
to be.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
On and great to have Texas being not just in
the mix, but right now at the top of the heap.
Although obviously we got to say we we Texas got
to get through oh you in order to even get
to Georgia. And so we've got to finish you know,
this month strong and get to that month. Hopefully we'll
get a good one two punch. And you know, obviously,
you know, Georgia's got to get there as well. And
I think, what do they play Alabama? Is this coming week?
(19:39):
At the next week?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But eight?
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Yeah, okay, twenty eight? So you know we got you know,
A and M and Texas finally coming back Thanksgiving weekend.
That is a good thing for college football, is a
good thing for Texas. I'm not sure what it will
mean for my family dynamics. I got a lot of
in the family, you know, but my wife has been
doing a pretty good job, you know, raising our kids.
They're pretty pro A and M right now. And Governor Perry,
(20:03):
my old boss, and John Sharp, the chance for they've
been leaning in the heart of my kids. But Texas
football is the top of the heap right now. There's
no question about that. They're good. They looked really good
against Michigan. We'll see. The defense has still got to play.
Somebody stout, but yours is doing great.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Congress and Roy, you took the words right out of
my mouth, by the way, on all that football analysis,
so thank you for that. I want to switch gears
if I can, for a moment here to the situation
of the border. I assume we're going to find out
here pretty soon the what the total illegal crossings are.
At least according to CBP for fiscal year twenty four,
(20:42):
they're going to be high. The Biden administration is telling
us they're not as high. What is the status right
now of the border day in and day out hasn't
been in the headlines much. What has changed and what
stayed the same since say the beginning of the year
when it was just a free for all.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, important question. I actually put out a report that
people can find at Roy dot House dot God. Now
that's official. I'm not pimping anything political here. I'm just
putting out a report that it was almost forty pages
that my step put together to put all this in context,
and in it you'll find that this crisis remains very
real because even though we don't see piles of people
(21:19):
up on the border, it's say Eagle Pass or Laredo
or any other place in Texas where it's in the
news every day. Bill Malujian is still reporting hard on
Fox others. What you're having is lots of people being
released into the United States. Were flown into the United States.
We still had one hundred thousand interactions apprehensions of people
coming in in both June and July. We don't have
(21:39):
the August numbers yet, but those are still astronomically high.
They're a little lower than they were at the two
hundred and one hundred and seventy five thousand levels, but
one hundred thousand a month is extraordinary. Remember Jay Johnson
under Obama said one thousand a day was a crisis. Well, man,
we're now, you know, saying and like patting ourselves on
the back because we're down to one hundred thousand. That's
a problem. This administration is released five and a half
(22:02):
million people into the country, two million guidaways. Those are
their official numbers they actually cop to this. That's how
many people have been dumped into the United States that
we know of, and look, the dangers are huge. We
had a hearing of the Judiciary Committee they wore yesterday.
We had this wonderful young woman. She's twenty seven, Alexis Nungrat.
You've seen the story her daughter, Joscelyn, twelve years old.
(22:24):
And I know, you guys, your dad's I've got a
daughter that's very similar in age to Joscelyn. And she
was you know, Alexis woke up and her daughter was gone,
and she finds her daughter had been gagged, bound and
murdered and raped by two Venezuelans who were specifically released
under so called parole into the United States. So to
all the listeners out there, it's not just about people
walking across the Rio Grand there are thousands. Actually, the
(22:47):
vast majority of these people are being released into the
United States in a system methodically under the CBP one
app using our laws on bastardizing our laws to dump
people in the United States. And now you got twenty
thousand hats hanging out in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Chip, you're talking about the border situation. You've been in
politics a little while. Can you ever remember anybody completely
flip flopping their opinion on as many issues as Kamala
Harris has, from the border where she now favors a wall,
to EV's where she no longer favors a mandate, to
(23:24):
fracking in Pennsylvania, which she's now in favor of. Now
she wants to have plastic straws allowed. I mean, some
very serious flipflops, some less serious, but emblematic of her
changed positions. Have we ever seen anything like this?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Well, I mean, look, people get called flip floppers all
the time for far less egregious flip flopping than we're
seeing out of Kamala Harris. Right, I remember, you know,
George H. W. Bush potentially lost the presidency in nineteen
ninety two for the you know, read my libs no
new taxes. Yeah, and frankly it was only kind of
a half break of the pledge. Right, He cut some taxes,
raised some other ones. So you know, we used to
(24:04):
be very specific about that. Here we've got she would
say things like two days before the debate, like, for example,
they put out a tweet where she said she would
want to ban assault weapons. Now we can have a
debate about that policy. I'm a very strong proponent of
the Second Amendment and keeping all of all right, she said,
ban them. Then she goes to the debate and said,
I'm not talking about Bannon guns. Yes you are. You
(24:25):
literally are. You tweeted it out two days before. So
but you had no fact check from ABC. And look,
I'm not one to like point the finger and go,
oh my god, it's all because of ABC.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
No.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Look, you know, we all know the media is biased.
But the bottom line is she has been changing on
every one of these issues. Now why is that. Well,
obviously she wanted to be the to win the primary
and to beat the Democrat nominee, which she ran four
years ago, so she ran hard to the left. She
answered the ACO YO ACLU questionnaire, she answered all the
liberal questions. Now she's trying to win a general election.
(24:57):
So you know what she believes. We all know who
she is. It's been very obvious from the get go.
And she is as much of a radical progressive Democrat
as anyone in that administration. So you know what you'll
get in January and she's elected.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Talking to Congressman Chip Roy and Congressman do you think
that Trump should. I know that Trump's gonna do what
he's gonna do, right, We're just wondering about how you
view this from now until election day. Do you think
Trump should debate again? Do you think it makes sense
or have we had enough of it at this point?
And also do you think there is enough focus from
(25:33):
his campaign on the border issue more broadly?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Well, on the first point, I'm certainly not going to
tell the campaign what to do. I mean, they you know,
that's up to them and up to the president. And
she said, no one's gonna tell him what to do.
I wouldn't be afraid of another debate. If I debated again,
I would be even more aggressive. I think he landed
some good punches. I think his answer on, for example,
firing bureaucrats was a great answer. I thought he had
some other good answers. But I do I do want
(25:59):
to see him hitting harder on the border. I mean,
she was trying to hide behind you know, this notion
of this so called Senate bill in January, which is
just a fraud. That bill would codify the mass release
program that they've put in place. It would codify the
abuse of a parole and asylum paroles.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Actually, can I jump in really quick? This is important
you talk about parole and I've been looking into this
too for how this affects the migrant you know, invasion
and what's going. Can you tell me what does that
mean that people have this CBP one app abroad, they
get some time and they're being flown into the country
for their appointments by Biden, Like, how does this work?
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Well, I'll try to give you the simple answer. I mean,
I could pick it twenty minutes to walk it through it.
But here's the short version. Prior to this administration, we
had certain policies in our books allowing for exceptions. They're
pretty narrow. Asylum if you have a credible fear of
persecution for your religious or political beliefs. Okay, that's one.
Category two is on a case by case basis. The
(27:02):
statute literally says, case by case, we're supposed to make
a determination if there's a reason to parole you temporarily
into the United States for some reason. Let's say your
aunt is having a liver transplanter, somebody's got fighting camps
and you want to come in and we need to
parole you in for some reason like that. But what
they've done is taken that little exception and they've now
(27:24):
turned it into a wide program that is not case
by case, but rather it's being done across the board
to dump literally hundreds of thousands, millions of people in
the United States in violation of the law. They actually
built an app, you referred to it the CBP one
app where people put their name in and they basically
come to the border and they're like, Okay, you're parolled in.
(27:44):
Here's your date, and you're noticed to appear in court
in July of twenty thirty two. Literally we're giving out
dates well into the twenty thirties. Now it's a fraud,
it's a bastardization of law. And in the process, we
have zero vetting, I say zero negligible vetting because border
patrol is strained and we don't allow them to do
their job in the first place. So now you have
(28:06):
what thirty five thousand Chinese nationals, You have significant numbers
of known terrorists on the watch list. You have criminals
like the guy released in Buffalo who killed twenty three
Peruvians and we just found them in Buffalo, but we
released him into Roma, Texas and he ended up up
there and then all of these debts. Kayla Hamilton, Rachel Morin,
Jocelyn Nunger A right. I mean I could go down
the list.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
How often is hike? Are you about how Texas is
going to vote? Congressman, I feel good.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
About Texas, but we need to show up, like we
have got to get out there. I mean, look, the
Senator cruizes race. I mean right now, I think if
you look at the polls, it's a single digit race,
you know, probably mid single digits. So you need President
Trump to do well, and everybody needs to show up.
I mean, we have people moving to Texas who share
our values. We have people moving to Texas who do
not share our values. We have people who that have
(28:54):
been released in the United States illegally. We're trying to
prevent non citizens from voting. Our Democrat colleagues won't work
with this on that other than five who voted for
the bill. So we've got a lot of work to do.
And as Centator, as President Trump has said, we need
to win too big to rig. That's the only way.
If you're counting votes in Maricopa County on election night,
we're in Trump. If your county votes in Fulton County.
(29:14):
We're in trouble. We need to win overwhelmingly because people
are frustrated with inflation and lagging economy. You know, our
fecklessness on the world stage, leaving Afghanistan wide open borders,
people dying from fentyl poisoning, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Congressmanship Roy, I will see you maybe down at that
Texas game against Georgia in Austin.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Well look forward to it. Let's just hope Georgia against
your Alabama and Texas throw you and we got a
big old match up in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2 (29:45):

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Closing up shop here shortly on Clay and Buck. Thank
you all for rolling with us. Take some of your
call some of your vip emails. Remember to become a
Clay and Buck vip Go to Claynbuck dot com. We
have ah Canada caller Dave in Crossville, Ontario. Oh he's gone,
(31:25):
he would just we had we Jeff with Jeff. We
got Jeff. Hey, Jeff, where are you from.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
I'm in Brockville, Ontario.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
So there we go, right now, thank you.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
I could right out my window, I see the United
States Upper State, New York and it's Trump country up there. Yeah,
talking talking about how expensive it is up here in Canada.
A house here in Brockville, it'll run you probably about
a starter home, probably about three hundred, four hundred thousand
dollars Canadians. But I know people that bought houses in
(31:58):
Ogdensburg in this date because they're buying them for between
fifty and ninety thousand US and going to work across
the bridge every day.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
So it is housing in Canada is super expensive. I
was just thinking of the metro areas, but it sounds
like you're telling me it's a broader problem.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
It's everywhere. It's in every small town, any large town,
medium town. It's out of control.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Yeah, because that would be consistent with the government regulations.
As you is. This Pierre Polyef guy, he doesn't really
cross over in the US media much. He's the conservative
leader up there, right, he is.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
He the real deal.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
He's a real deal. And this is area that I'm
in as a conservative stronghold. But if they called an
election today, you wouldn't have a Liberal party anymore. And
you wouldn't have.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
An NDP party anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Wow, okay, cool, Thank you for the call. Thank you
for listening.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
As a playing Buck International, Baby, we're international. That's all
I can tell you. We got listeners. It's actually fun.
Sometimes we get these little maps. It'll show us like
a heat map of where people listen all the world,
and all of a sudden, we'll see we'll see some
listening in Germany, and some listening in South Korea, and
some listening in the South Pacific.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You're like, oh, that's right, US military bases, of course.
And I think that is probably one of the things
you've been overseas as well. Buck. The thing that a
lot of times people connect with is their hometown. I
saw it in sports. We had massive amounts of military
listeners for sports talk radio because you just crave a
(33:27):
taste and a feel of home. And I know this
show has always been Rush himself would talk about it
sometimes how many people on bases would listen because they
might have listened in their car driving around with their parents.
It just gave them a little bit more of a
taste to home when you feel so far away. So
thank you to everybody that is in fact listening and
(33:48):
streaming this show serving overseas right now, we're living overseas.
We hope we're bringing you a little bit more of
a feel of how things are going in the good
old USA.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Got some vip emails here, let's see, we've got Mike Rights.
I wonder how Kamala's price fixing plan is going to
work out with Taylor Swift's one thousand dollars concert ticket prices.
Talk about gouging, Yeah, well, what is the deal with
First of all, some of the companies that are involved
in like concert ticket sales are so scummy and it's
(34:18):
it's like a disgusting cartel of price hijacking and go ahead.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
No, I was just gonna say, I mean, yes, the
tickets have gotten crazy expensive. It's also the case that
Taylor Swift, who is a billionaire. When you become a billionaire,
who the president of the United States is, does not
actually impact your life very much. So to me, when
you're a billionaire lecturing people on how you think they
(34:47):
should vote, it really strikes, in Taylor Swift terms, a
cord that does not feel very true to me. When
you are living above the line to such an extent
that there's nothing that could happen financially to Taylor Swift,
that could drastically change her lifestyle compared to most of
(35:08):
Taylor Swift's fans who are desperately scrimping and saving to
try to be able to go watch one of her concerts.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
You know, when was the last time Taylor Swift was
in anything that you would consider to be a truly
you know, middle class home and for any length of time?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Any question, When was the last time she was on
a commercial airline flight? Yeah, a commercial I bet she
hasn't been on a commercial airline flight in ten years.
I mean, she's got her private jets. She claims to
care so much about global warming, but she jets all
over the place in the jet. And I don't begrudge
anybody who has a private jet. I think if you
have that those resources and you want to use them,
(35:47):
good for you. But I think it's just like her
connection to her average fan base is not very there's
not a lot of overwhelming This.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Is where the This is where the cruelty of Democrat
positions really comes in, especially for the Democrat elite. They
advocate for things that make them feel good about themselves
that will hurt everyday people. And this is on crime,
this is on taxes, and the economy is on the border.
It's oh, I'm just you know, we are the world man.
(36:16):
I'm a humanitarian. I care about climate change. I want
everyone to have free everything as long as I'm flying
private and have personal chefs, and fifteen houses to go
to well, and lots of lots.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Offenses to protect you, lots of walls to keep you
from anybody being able to use me.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Kamala is unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
She wants a wall now, Clay, It's very true. The
most inauthentic line president nominee in the history of our lives.
She's got to get beaten. We'll be back with you tomorrow.
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Back in our number three Thursday edition, Klay Travis Buck
Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us
as we are rolling through the news of the day.
And I told you I had an optimistic take on culture, sports, music, movies.
(00:21):
It appears to me that there is a groundswell of
desire which I think could be so important to the
discourse in this country for America to go back to
the era that Buck, even though he's much younger than
me and I, grew up in and that many of
(00:44):
you out there around our ages also grew up in
the nineteen eighties and the nineteen nineties. Many of you
out there are nostalgic in many ways for those eras,
even the early parts of the two thas, but in
particular the eighties and the nineties, because we had a
(01:05):
crazy era. Then people might have disagreed politically, but we
didn't decide when somebody voted different than us that they
were despicable, as MSNBC has been calling Trump supporters today
or last night. We played that audio for you earlier,
and I've been arguing for a long time that really
(01:27):
the I would say celebrity athlete who characterized that era,
better than anyone was Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan to this
day is still the most popular athlete in America. On
my last book before this current one was called Republicans
by Sneakers. To crazy stat for you, At the time
(01:49):
I wrote that book, Michael Jordan's Air Jordan Sneakers still
sold more every year than every current NBA player combined,
Lebron Steph Curry. You roll them all up together, they
sold less than Michael Jordan's Air Jordan's were selling. I
think that's still close to true even today. Why was
(02:11):
that because Michael Jordan's hallmark was his excellence, and he
wanted everyone to celebrate his excellence. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, Strait, Republican,
Democrat Independent. In fact, my book was called Republicans by
Sneakers two because that was a quote from Michael Jordan
(02:31):
in that era when he was asked why he didn't
get political. Then suddenly that all changed. In the Trump era,
athletes decided they had to use their platforms and they
had to be super partisan, and they had to come
out in favor of Hillary Clinton. They had to come
out in favor of Joe Biden. It's dying down now
Buck in twenty twenty four and yesterday, there were three
(02:54):
different clips that I think tell an interesting story. First,
let's start with Patrick Holmes, who I would argue is
the single most famous male athlete in America today, quarterback
for the Kansas City Chiefs. His wife Brittany has suggested,
based on things she's liked, that she is a Trump supporter.
(03:15):
Trump has been complementary of Patrick, Mahomes and Brittany. He
was asked about it at a press conference yesterday. This
is what he said for.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
President Trump ro family against the Fox News in relations
to his campaign.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I just wonder what your reaction is to seeing that.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, I think I've always said I don't want I
don't want my place in my platform to be used
to endorse a candidate or do whatever each Either way,
I think my place is to inform people to get
registered to vote, is to inform people to do their
own research and then make their best decision for them
and their family. And so I think that's every time
I'm on this stage and I get asked these questions,
(03:49):
I'm going to refer back to that, because I think
that's what makes America so great.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Pretty great answer in many ways.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
You know what's funny about this, Clay is a lot
of people hear that, people like you and me and
others will listen and say, I wish pretty much every
athlete would just do this. Although than athletes, look, well,
we're not allowed to have, you know, opinions on politics,
but I have more and Hollywood actors, you know, famous
people of all kinds. I wish they would just stop
(04:17):
with the But because he's not willing to smugly lecture
everybody on politics when we just want to celebrate athletic greatness,
people are gonna assume he's Republican.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You know that, right?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I mean, this is now the only people that are like,
I don't want to be annoying about my politics are Republican.
If you're a big Kamala voter, you're telling everybody you
gotta vote for Kamala.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
What I said, and I'll stand by it, just to
be fair. If your wife is voting Trump, what are
the odds that demand isn't how many honest questions? How
many married couples out there? I think there are a
lot that split, right, we have a gender divide. I
think there's lots of men who would vote Trump. I
think there's women who would vote Kamala. I think there's
(05:02):
lots of those households. I think there are many fewer
households where wife votes Trump and husband votes Kamala. Would
you agree with that? That is a like a very
like there's lots where both do the same. My household,
we're gonna have double Trump voters. I think it's fair
to say, buck your household, you'll have double Trump voters.
Oh yeah, yeah. Just so there's a lot of.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Harry's like, what was that criticism of Trump you had.
Let's let's tighten that up a little bit, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, So there's lots of households out there that are
gonna double Kamala vote. I do not believe there's very
many households where woman is a Trump supporter and husband
is a Kamala supporter. So I think you're right there,
But I do think it's significant. He went on to say,
I don't judge people by their politics. I can get
along with anybody because they kind of let him on.
(05:51):
Because Taylor Swift has decided that she's going to endorse Kamala, okay.
Caitlin Clark was also asked the same question yes, I
would submit to you that Caitlin Clark is probably the
most famous female athlete in America right now. Here's what
she said.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
You liked an Instagram post last night from Taylor Swift
that got a lot of attention, and I'm just curious
if you could tell us what that post meant to
you and if you are in fact potentially going to
endorse Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
I think for myself, as you know, I have this
amazing platform, so I think the biggest thing would be
just encourage people to register to vote. I think for
myself is the second time I could vote in an election
at age twenty two. Had the vote when I was eighteen,
So I think do that. That's the biggest thing I
can do with the platform that I have. And that's
the same thing Trey did.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
And I think continue to educate yourself the candidates that
we have, the policies that they're supporting.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
I think that's the biggest thing you can do, and
that's what I would recommend to every single person that
has that opportunity in our coachry.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You know what okay play?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You know, and obviously you follow sports professional sports a
lot more than I do. That's goes that saying I
watched the super Bowl and the US Open and that's
about it. But that's somebody who wants to build a
brand that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Is what that is?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
That's what that is. That's somebody who's like, you know what,
I don't want to antagonize half of my prospective ticket
shoe Jersey, I don't know, you know, skincare product, whatever
she's done.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That is Michael Jordan's example, or Tiger Woods for that matter. Okay,
one more because I think this one is funny too.
Usher was on our favorite show, The View. Usher. If
those of you don't know, prominent black musician Joy Behar
just went all in on, Hey, don't you need to
endorse Kamala here's the answer, here's the response. In this
(07:45):
emergency that we're in.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
I think that whose artist.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Has come out and speak for Kamala against Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Because he is an existential threat to the country.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
What do you say to that?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
You know what.
Speaker 9 (07:55):
I don't get too deep into politics. I didn't get
a chance to qatch the debate last night. Obviously, have
been watching like everybody else. I think voting is an
individual choice. I think that you're right. You have to
look at the reality of the country that we are
and the country that we want to be and find
the candidate that you feel both who fits the category
(08:18):
of where we want to be. And that's it, and
that's what you vote. Based off of who you highlight
and how you choose to highlight it on whatever platform
you had, is your prerogative.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Look to me, Buck Mahomes, Caitlin Clark, and Usher Boom
Boom boom. Maybe they all have the same pr person,
but all three of them, especially Usher there when Joy
Behar is like trying to brate him on a super
left wing show to endorse Kamala and admit and hit
her opinion that Trump's a horrible human being. I think
(08:52):
that's a significant cultural shift that we're seeing, Yes.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
And I think it's one. It's a it's the business
move that we thought everybody was going to be making
in the public sphere until really about what fifteen to now.
I mean, their Hollywood actresses who've always been very vocal
about their politics. But I mean, if you were just
trying to maximize your brand's profitability, you tended not to
(09:17):
antagonize half the country. That changed, Yes, that changed, and
then you had people like Colin Kaepernick who were dragging
it in the other direction of Oh, it's worth so
much more to you to be woke and to squeeze
everything you can out of that that spitting in the
face of half of your audience when they don't care
what you think about the following things is that's a
trade off you should make. I do think the pendulum
(09:39):
has started to swing back. You know, it's the bud
Light effect. It's a number of what was the what's
that store target with all the sort of lgbt Q stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Forgetting the children tuck like bathing suits and ye stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
People were just like and the you know, the Disney
chief creative executive who's like, well, I have a pans
sexual child and a non binary child, and everyone's like,
this is in charge of what projects get made at
Disney for kids? What, by the way, what are the
odds I know we've talked about that, what are the
odds that the parent just happens to have a non
binary child and just happens to have a pan sexual
(10:16):
child and also a super left wing But these have
nothing to do with each other, right, It's not in doctrination.
It's just nature not true. So I think this is
this is encouraging at some level. But play also I
think that, Look, I don't follow again, you know the
sports stuff way better than I do. But with Patrick Mahomes,
he always comes across to me, okay, just observing observing
(10:40):
him as I have in different interviews and things. He's
a guy who comes across as humble while being a superstar,
which is so refreshing to people. You know, he's a
guy who there's a gratitude that he has all the
time for being the best quarterback in the NFL, for
(11:00):
being a celebrated superstar, for being worth what is you worth?
Forty fifty million dollars a year? Whatever's on his content
yea easier yeaheah, whatever it is. I mean, I'm guessing
he comes across like a guy who really is like,
I want to inspire people and entertain them with my
excellence on the field and make people, you know, aspire
for things in their own lives because of the greatness
(11:21):
that they're around and that they see on my team,
and that has value to people. That that's something you know,
you don't need people to be telling you know, the
problem with the athletes is a lot of them want
to lecture on politics, and I'm just like, you don't
know what you tell You're just not very well informed
on politics, right, correct?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And you wouldn't expect them to be right because most
people who have to commit, and you do a great
deal of time, effort, and energy to being excellent at
one particular field, it's not that often that you're an
expert in another field, right. And I think it's fine
for being able to share their opinions. But I've always
been of the opinion that the Michael Jordan era, the
(11:59):
Tiger Woods era, was a unity era where we could
all watch a great athlete and we didn't need to
think at all about anything other than their athletic excellence.
And it feels to me when you got Patrick Mahomes
and Caitlin Clark in the same day, even in the
midst of a high stress political universe, saying yeah, I'm
(12:21):
not gonna endorse, it feels like a major cultural swift shift.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Swift shift by what Taylor Swift is doing. I would
even be happy with a move toward more prominent public
figures just saying look, I'm gonna vote Trump or I'm
gonna vote Kamala. But I understand it's a personal decision,
and I just encourage everybody to do their own homework
and get out there whatever. The thing that really sits
in you know, sticks in people's car, the thing it
(12:45):
really is annoying is you know, well, I just want
to tell everybody, like, I can't imagine how you wouldn't
vote for this person or that person.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's like or I'm like the Chelsea Handlers of the world,
being like, I'm gonna move to Canada, and then you know,
the their side loses and they don't move to Canada.
We always I'm actually.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Glad they do that now though, because it's so funny,
because it becomes such a cliche.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
You know.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
It's also look not throwing shade at Canada. Very nice people,
you're gonna leave the US. I don't even know if
that would be choice number one. It's really cold in
the winter, not even close to.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Choice number one for me. I mean not even in
the like, I'm not sure it's top twenty for me. Sorry, Canada.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Wow, our Canada listeners dropping off Vancouver is really nice.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I don't do cold weather.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You know, they have the most overheated in some of
the major I think in all the major cities now,
like the most overheated real estate markets in the entire world.
Crazy China has come in, I mean honestly, especially in
places like Vancouver and brought up Chinese people have tre
Probably you have the guy who is eating the apple
who's like, yeah, who says that? Why who said that?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Tell me who you know?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
That guy from that family clip, the leader of the
Conservative opposition there. I saw him on a video where
he was talking about how sixty percent of the cost
of building any whether a house or department, any new
housing unit in Canada is purely government regulation and taxation.
Now sixty that's another part of it too. It's just
they've made it so expensive to build anything that there's
(14:10):
a housing crunch and people can't afford to find places
to live.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I got a Canadian brother in law, by the way,
really yeah, now now I'm really not going to be
able to visit.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You know, we we let's get a call from Canada
justcause we haven't heard from you in a while. We
got a few listeners up in Canada right now. We
all want the great white snowy north of Canada. All right,
let's talk about this for a second. One with a
Biden administration announced their next multi billion dollar free wheeling
expenditure before the official lame duck period commences. There are
(14:46):
several informed people out there think that it's sooner than later. Look,
our federal government's going to keep spending and spending and spending.
Right that's just the reality of what we face right now.
We're already thirty five trillion dollars in debt, give or take.
So what can you do to protect your savings in
the bank?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Gold?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I own gold, You should own gold. Gold has only
increased in value, and having a portion of your savings
invested in gold is a good thing. The spending power
of your saved dollars is going down, the value of
gold has been going up. Purchasing and owning gold or

Speaker 4 (16:17):
You'll never guess who put on a Maga hat Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
He's there and here he is talking to the people
and he takes a Maga hat. This is real, everybody,
He really did this. And this is what Joe Biden
said on video in Pennsylvania as he put on the
Maga hat.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
There you go, man, you got I made that hat.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
My autograph I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Come on, I'm going that phone.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, I'm crowding Norman cats.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
No eating dogs and cats, he says at the end
of Clay with his MAGA hat on. It's actually a
funny moment with Biden.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I actually watched this video and I thought it was
one of the best, you know, normal moments of a
video they've had with Biden in some time. For those
of you who haven't seen it, he's visiting there's an
older guy with a Trump hat on. They're kind of,
you know, talking back and forth in a friendly way
about both being old farts, and he asks them to
put He asked him to sign the hat, and then
(17:38):
he asked him to put on the hat, and Biden
goes back and forth joking with him, and then puts
on a Trump twenty twenty four hat.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Buck.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
We, I mean, we need to talk about this, but
we kind of mentioned it. I think deep down, Joe
Biden kind of wants CALMLA to lose.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I do he absolutely does. I totally agree with you
on that. We'll get into some more of that here

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We are
joined now by Congressmanship Roy of Texas and let me
dive ahead in the all right off the top and
then the most divisive issue in this date of Texas today,
how are you going to handle the Texas Texas A
(19:04):
and M rivalry returning Thanksgiving week? Will you and your
wife be able to coexist. How will your children do?
What is the prognosis there on the biggest dividing line
in the state of Texas right now. Well, Clay, good
to be.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
On and great to have Texas being not just in
the mix, but right now at the top of the heap.
Although obviously we got to say we we Texas got
to get through oh you in order to even get
to Georgia. And so we've got to finish you know,
this month strong and get to that month. Hopefully we'll
get a good one two punch. And you know, obviously,
you know, Georgia's got to get there as well. And
I think, what do they play Alabama? Is this coming week?
(19:39):
At the next week?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But eight?
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Yeah, okay, twenty eight? So you know we got you know,
A and M and Texas finally coming back Thanksgiving weekend.
That is a good thing for college football, is a
good thing for Texas. I'm not sure what it will
mean for my family dynamics. I got a lot of
in the family, you know, but my wife has been
doing a pretty good job, you know, raising our kids.
They're pretty pro A and M right now. And Governor Perry,
(20:03):
my old boss, and John Sharp, the chance for they've
been leaning in the heart of my kids. But Texas
football is the top of the heap right now. There's
no question about that. They're good. They looked really good
against Michigan. We'll see. The defense has still got to play.
Somebody stout, but yours is doing great.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Congress and Roy, you took the words right out of
my mouth, by the way, on all that football analysis,
so thank you for that. I want to switch gears
if I can, for a moment here to the situation
of the border. I assume we're going to find out
here pretty soon the what the total illegal crossings are.
At least according to CBP for fiscal year twenty four,
(20:42):
they're going to be high. The Biden administration is telling
us they're not as high. What is the status right
now of the border day in and day out hasn't
been in the headlines much. What has changed and what
stayed the same since say the beginning of the year
when it was just a free for all.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, important question. I actually put out a report that
people can find at Roy dot House dot God. Now
that's official. I'm not pimping anything political here. I'm just
putting out a report that it was almost forty pages
that my step put together to put all this in context,
and in it you'll find that this crisis remains very
real because even though we don't see piles of people
(21:19):
up on the border, it's say Eagle Pass or Laredo
or any other place in Texas where it's in the
news every day. Bill Malujian is still reporting hard on
Fox others. What you're having is lots of people being
released into the United States. Were flown into the United States.
We still had one hundred thousand interactions apprehensions of people
coming in in both June and July. We don't have
(21:39):
the August numbers yet, but those are still astronomically high.
They're a little lower than they were at the two
hundred and one hundred and seventy five thousand levels, but
one hundred thousand a month is extraordinary. Remember Jay Johnson
under Obama said one thousand a day was a crisis. Well, man,
we're now, you know, saying and like patting ourselves on
the back because we're down to one hundred thousand. That's
a problem. This administration is released five and a half
(22:02):
million people into the country, two million guidaways. Those are
their official numbers they actually cop to this. That's how
many people have been dumped into the United States that
we know of, and look, the dangers are huge. We
had a hearing of the Judiciary Committee they wore yesterday.
We had this wonderful young woman. She's twenty seven, Alexis Nungrat.
You've seen the story her daughter, Joscelyn, twelve years old.
(22:24):
And I know, you guys, your dad's I've got a
daughter that's very similar in age to Joscelyn. And she
was you know, Alexis woke up and her daughter was gone,
and she finds her daughter had been gagged, bound and
murdered and raped by two Venezuelans who were specifically released
under so called parole into the United States. So to
all the listeners out there, it's not just about people
walking across the Rio Grand there are thousands. Actually, the
(22:47):
vast majority of these people are being released into the
United States in a system methodically under the CBP one
app using our laws on bastardizing our laws to dump
people in the United States. And now you got twenty
thousand hats hanging out in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Chip, you're talking about the border situation. You've been in
politics a little while. Can you ever remember anybody completely
flip flopping their opinion on as many issues as Kamala
Harris has, from the border where she now favors a wall,
to EV's where she no longer favors a mandate, to
(23:24):
fracking in Pennsylvania, which she's now in favor of. Now
she wants to have plastic straws allowed. I mean, some
very serious flipflops, some less serious, but emblematic of her
changed positions. Have we ever seen anything like this?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Well, I mean, look, people get called flip floppers all
the time for far less egregious flip flopping than we're
seeing out of Kamala Harris. Right, I remember, you know,
George H. W. Bush potentially lost the presidency in nineteen
ninety two for the you know, read my libs no
new taxes. Yeah, and frankly it was only kind of
a half break of the pledge. Right, He cut some taxes,
raised some other ones. So you know, we used to
(24:04):
be very specific about that. Here we've got she would
say things like two days before the debate, like, for example,
they put out a tweet where she said she would
want to ban assault weapons. Now we can have a
debate about that policy. I'm a very strong proponent of
the Second Amendment and keeping all of all right, she said,
ban them. Then she goes to the debate and said,
I'm not talking about Bannon guns. Yes you are. You
(24:25):
literally are. You tweeted it out two days before. So
but you had no fact check from ABC. And look,
I'm not one to like point the finger and go,
oh my god, it's all because of ABC.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
No.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Look, you know, we all know the media is biased.
But the bottom line is she has been changing on
every one of these issues. Now why is that. Well,
obviously she wanted to be the to win the primary
and to beat the Democrat nominee, which she ran four
years ago, so she ran hard to the left. She
answered the ACO YO ACLU questionnaire, she answered all the
liberal questions. Now she's trying to win a general election.
(24:57):
So you know what she believes. We all know who
she is. It's been very obvious from the get go.
And she is as much of a radical progressive Democrat
as anyone in that administration. So you know what you'll
get in January and she's elected.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Talking to Congressman Chip Roy and Congressman do you think
that Trump should. I know that Trump's gonna do what
he's gonna do, right, We're just wondering about how you
view this from now until election day. Do you think
Trump should debate again? Do you think it makes sense
or have we had enough of it at this point?
And also do you think there is enough focus from
(25:33):
his campaign on the border issue more broadly?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Well, on the first point, I'm certainly not going to
tell the campaign what to do. I mean, they you know,
that's up to them and up to the president. And
she said, no one's gonna tell him what to do.
I wouldn't be afraid of another debate. If I debated again,
I would be even more aggressive. I think he landed
some good punches. I think his answer on, for example,
firing bureaucrats was a great answer. I thought he had
some other good answers. But I do I do want
(25:59):
to see him hitting harder on the border. I mean,
she was trying to hide behind you know, this notion
of this so called Senate bill in January, which is
just a fraud. That bill would codify the mass release
program that they've put in place. It would codify the
abuse of a parole and asylum paroles.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Actually, can I jump in really quick? This is important
you talk about parole and I've been looking into this
too for how this affects the migrant you know, invasion
and what's going. Can you tell me what does that
mean that people have this CBP one app abroad, they
get some time and they're being flown into the country
for their appointments by Biden, Like, how does this work?
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Well, I'll try to give you the simple answer. I mean,
I could pick it twenty minutes to walk it through it.
But here's the short version. Prior to this administration, we
had certain policies in our books allowing for exceptions. They're
pretty narrow. Asylum if you have a credible fear of
persecution for your religious or political beliefs. Okay, that's one.
Category two is on a case by case basis. The
(27:02):
statute literally says, case by case, we're supposed to make
a determination if there's a reason to parole you temporarily
into the United States for some reason. Let's say your
aunt is having a liver transplanter, somebody's got fighting camps
and you want to come in and we need to
parole you in for some reason like that. But what
they've done is taken that little exception and they've now
(27:24):
turned it into a wide program that is not case
by case, but rather it's being done across the board
to dump literally hundreds of thousands, millions of people in
the United States in violation of the law. They actually
built an app, you referred to it the CBP one
app where people put their name in and they basically
come to the border and they're like, Okay, you're parolled in.
(27:44):
Here's your date, and you're noticed to appear in court
in July of twenty thirty two. Literally we're giving out
dates well into the twenty thirties. Now it's a fraud,
it's a bastardization of law. And in the process, we
have zero vetting, I say zero negligible vetting because border
patrol is strained and we don't allow them to do
their job in the first place. So now you have
(28:06):
what thirty five thousand Chinese nationals, You have significant numbers
of known terrorists on the watch list. You have criminals
like the guy released in Buffalo who killed twenty three
Peruvians and we just found them in Buffalo, but we
released him into Roma, Texas and he ended up up
there and then all of these debts. Kayla Hamilton, Rachel Morin,
Jocelyn Nunger A right. I mean I could go down
the list.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
How often is hike? Are you about how Texas is
going to vote? Congressman, I feel good.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
About Texas, but we need to show up, like we
have got to get out there. I mean, look, the
Senator cruizes race. I mean right now, I think if
you look at the polls, it's a single digit race,
you know, probably mid single digits. So you need President
Trump to do well, and everybody needs to show up.
I mean, we have people moving to Texas who share
our values. We have people moving to Texas who do
not share our values. We have people who that have
(28:54):
been released in the United States illegally. We're trying to
prevent non citizens from voting. Our Democrat colleagues won't work
with this on that other than five who voted for
the bill. So we've got a lot of work to do.
And as Centator, as President Trump has said, we need
to win too big to rig. That's the only way.
If you're counting votes in Maricopa County on election night,
we're in Trump. If your county votes in Fulton County.
(29:14):
We're in trouble. We need to win overwhelmingly because people
are frustrated with inflation and lagging economy. You know, our
fecklessness on the world stage, leaving Afghanistan wide open borders,
people dying from fentyl poisoning, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Congressmanship Roy, I will see you maybe down at that
Texas game against Georgia in Austin.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Well look forward to it. Let's just hope Georgia against
your Alabama and Texas throw you and we got a
big old match up in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Be a lot of fun. Talk to you soon, see you.

Closing up shop here shortly on Clay and Buck. Thank
you all for rolling with us. Take some of your
call some of your vip emails. Remember to become a
Clay and Buck vip Go to Claynbuck dot com. We
have ah Canada caller Dave in Crossville, Ontario. Oh he's gone,
(31:25):
he would just we had we Jeff with Jeff. We
got Jeff. Hey, Jeff, where are you from.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
I'm in Brockville, Ontario.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
So there we go, right now, thank you.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
I could right out my window, I see the United
States Upper State, New York and it's Trump country up there. Yeah,
talking talking about how expensive it is up here in Canada.
A house here in Brockville, it'll run you probably about
a starter home, probably about three hundred, four hundred thousand
dollars Canadians. But I know people that bought houses in
(31:58):
Ogdensburg in this date because they're buying them for between
fifty and ninety thousand US and going to work across
the bridge every day.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
So it is housing in Canada is super expensive. I
was just thinking of the metro areas, but it sounds
like you're telling me it's a broader problem.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
It's everywhere. It's in every small town, any large town,
medium town. It's out of control.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Yeah, because that would be consistent with the government regulations.
As you is. This Pierre Polyef guy, he doesn't really
cross over in the US media much. He's the conservative
leader up there, right, he is.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
He the real deal.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
He's a real deal. And this is area that I'm
in as a conservative stronghold. But if they called an
election today, you wouldn't have a Liberal party anymore. And
you wouldn't have.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
An NDP party anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Wow, okay, cool, Thank you for the call. Thank you
for listening.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
As a playing Buck International, Baby, we're international. That's all
I can tell you. We got listeners. It's actually fun.
Sometimes we get these little maps. It'll show us like
a heat map of where people listen all the world,
and all of a sudden, we'll see we'll see some
listening in Germany, and some listening in South Korea, and
some listening in the South Pacific.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You're like, oh, that's right, US military bases, of course.
And I think that is probably one of the things
you've been overseas as well. Buck. The thing that a
lot of times people connect with is their hometown. I
saw it in sports. We had massive amounts of military
listeners for sports talk radio because you just crave a
(33:27):
taste and a feel of home. And I know this
show has always been Rush himself would talk about it
sometimes how many people on bases would listen because they
might have listened in their car driving around with their parents.
It just gave them a little bit more of a
taste to home when you feel so far away. So
thank you to everybody that is in fact listening and
(33:48):
streaming this show serving overseas right now, we're living overseas.
We hope we're bringing you a little bit more of
a feel of how things are going in the good
old USA.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Got some vip emails here, let's see, we've got Mike Rights.
I wonder how Kamala's price fixing plan is going to
work out with Taylor Swift's one thousand dollars concert ticket prices.
Talk about gouging, Yeah, well, what is the deal with
First of all, some of the companies that are involved
in like concert ticket sales are so scummy and it's
(34:18):
it's like a disgusting cartel of price hijacking and go ahead.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
No, I was just gonna say, I mean, yes, the
tickets have gotten crazy expensive. It's also the case that
Taylor Swift, who is a billionaire. When you become a billionaire,
who the president of the United States is, does not
actually impact your life very much. So to me, when
you're a billionaire lecturing people on how you think they
(34:47):
should vote, it really strikes, in Taylor Swift terms, a
cord that does not feel very true to me. When
you are living above the line to such an extent
that there's nothing that could happen financially to Taylor Swift,
that could drastically change her lifestyle compared to most of
(35:08):
Taylor Swift's fans who are desperately scrimping and saving to
try to be able to go watch one of her concerts.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
You know, when was the last time Taylor Swift was
in anything that you would consider to be a truly
you know, middle class home and for any length of time?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Any question, When was the last time she was on
a commercial airline flight? Yeah, a commercial I bet she
hasn't been on a commercial airline flight in ten years.
I mean, she's got her private jets. She claims to
care so much about global warming, but she jets all
over the place in the jet. And I don't begrudge
anybody who has a private jet. I think if you
have that those resources and you want to use them,
(35:47):
good for you. But I think it's just like her
connection to her average fan base is not very there's
not a lot of overwhelming This.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Is where the This is where the cruelty of Democrat
positions really comes in, especially for the Democrat elite. They
advocate for things that make them feel good about themselves
that will hurt everyday people. And this is on crime,
this is on taxes, and the economy is on the border.
It's oh, I'm just you know, we are the world man.
(36:16):
I'm a humanitarian. I care about climate change. I want
everyone to have free everything as long as I'm flying
private and have personal chefs, and fifteen houses to go
to well, and lots of lots.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Offenses to protect you, lots of walls to keep you
from anybody being able to use me.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Kamala is unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
She wants a wall now, Clay, It's very true. The
most inauthentic line president nominee in the history of our lives.
She's got to get beaten. We'll be back with you tomorrow.
