Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast delivers an in-depth political analysis hour focused on 2026 election strategy, voter trends, media narratives, election integrity debates, and ongoing U.S.–Iran foreign policy developments, making it a highly topical and data-driven segment. Emphasizing that this is Hour 3 of the program, the conversation is anchored by a guest interview with political strategist Ryan Girdusky, followed by listener engagement and continued discussion of breaking geopolitical news.
The hour opens with a detailed interview examining the U.S. Senate race in Maine, where Republicans and Democrats are closely watching a competitive contest. Girdusky provides data-driven political forecasting, explaining how incumbent strength, polling trends, and shifting voter sentiment make the race highly competitive despite controversies surrounding the Democratic candidate. A key theme is how modern political campaigns are influenced less by scandal and more by electability, with discussion highlighting that controversial candidates can remain viable if party leadership believes they can win. This segment underscores broader election strategy trends, party loyalty, and the evolving standards of political accountability in U.S. politics.
The conversation then expands to the California political landscape, including the Los Angeles mayoral race and the broader challenges facing Republicans in deep-blue states. Gerdusky dismisses claims of widespread election fraud in the mayor’s race, emphasizing the lack of verifiable data while explaining demographic shifts that have made cities like Los Angeles increasingly Democratic. The hosts discuss how urban migration patterns, ideological clustering, and voter registration trends are reshaping electoral outcomes, arguing that conservative voters are leaving blue states while progressive populations concentrate in major metropolitan areas. This leads into analysis of a proposed California voter ID ballot initiative, framed as a key battleground issue that could mobilize Republican voters even in a heavily Democratic state.
A major focus of Hour 3 of the show is the California governor’s race and national Senate outlook, with Gerdusky providing a comprehensive breakdown of battleground states. He highlights Maine, Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, and Texas as critical races that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. The discussion emphasizes how economic issues—particularly rising gas prices and food costs—are shaping voter sentiment, especially among working-class voters, and could become decisive factors in upcoming elections. The hosts characterize inflation and energy costs as the GOP’s most significant political vulnerability, linking it in part to broader foreign policy developments, including tensions in the Middle East.
The hour transitions into a debate over election integrity and voter fraud claims, with Buck Sexton stressing the importance of distinguishing between anecdotal reports and verifiable evidence. Responding to listener questions about alleged fraud in the Los Angeles mayoral race, he calls for documented proof, sworn testimony, and legal standards of evidence, cautioning against relying solely on viral videos or unverified claims. This segment reflects ongoing national conversations about election security, misinformation, and public trust in democratic institutions, with the hosts encouraging a more evidence-based approach to allegations of fraud while acknowledging that isolated incidents may occur.
In the latter portion of Hour 3, the show revisits breaking U.S.–Iran developments and President Donald Trump’s claims about a potential diplomatic agreement. Buck analyzes Trump’s statements about a “great deal,” expressing skepticism that a finalized agreement exists without publicly confirmed terms. The discussion centers on international diplomacy, nuclear negotiations, and media coverage of foreign policy, with Buck emphasizing the need for transparency and concrete details before declaring a strategic victory. This ties back to broader themes of media credibility, political messaging, and public accountability, which recur throughout the hour.
The program also features robust listener interaction, including calls challenging earlier analysis of election dynamics in Los Angeles and debates over political narratives. These exchanges highlight differing perspectives within the audience on campaign strategy, voter behavior, and the role of political machines in local elections, reinforcing the show’s emphasis on audience engagement and debate.
The final segment of Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show shifts briefly to lighter content, including a humorous discussion about what to call a “male Karen,” listener responses, and casual commentary, providing contrast to the heavy

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Third hour of playing buck gets going right. Now. We're
joined by our friend Ryan Gardusky. He's a host of
the It's a Numbers Game podcast, which is a fantastic
place to get real insights data analysis on all the
political stuff. You want to be smarter than your friends
who think they know about politics, listen to Ryan's It's
a Numbers Game and you can slap them around with poles, facts, figures,
(00:24):
and data. Mister Gerdusky, always great to have you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Thank you for having me again.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
All right, let's let's we got I got a few
things to talk to you about. First off, this guy
Platner in Maine. So now that he is the guy.
If you're and you've been involved with just whatever nose,
you've been involved with political campaigns before, so you really
know how this machinery operates. How formidable is this guy?
How do you think Colin stacks up against him? Democrats,
(00:52):
it seems, don't care about the Nazi tattoo, the you know,
maltreatment of women black, all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Where does this all share out?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I mean, listen, Maine is a democratic state. Maine has
not voted for a Republican in many decades. It's also
ironically the state that Ross Purow did the best in
back in nineteen ninety two and nineteen ninety six, so
it has some working class, rustic populous feels to it. However,
Susan Collins is a machine in the States. She's known
as especially for her constituent services, known as like the
(01:23):
best in the state to get something done, so she's
built in a lot of loyalty. She overperforms polls on
average by eight to twelve points. That being said, in
a democratic year with a democratic state, that may be
enough to knock her out. He is formidable. You should
not assume that because he's got all these scandals he
can't lose. Sorry, he can't win. He can win. Susan
(01:44):
Collins is one of the toughest candidates to beat those
So yeah, I would say right now it's fifty to
fifty at best, just because of her history of beating
the polls. But on its face, on the polling by itself,
Platner has the advantage, but because of her ability to
(02:04):
beat everyone's predictions, I always say it's fifty to fifty
at best.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
What do you think this this era that we're in now?
I mean, how would you assess the whole. Oh but
but Plattner is such a scumbag. He said bad things.
I feel like the rule of Democrats is if they
think the candidate can win, and they and that's that
is the person they need to win.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I keep hearing, Oh, we're gonna the next shoe is
gonna drop, and Platner is going to be out of
this thing. I think a lot of shoes have dropped,
and nobody really seems to care very much.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, I was just in DC, and I'm telling you
there are from what everything I've heard from people who
are legitimate, there are more shoes to drop that are
actually even more serious than the allegations that already have
come out. So wouldn't be surprised. That's why he keeps
saying nothing real is coming out. But it is. But
it's not a matter of if they can win, it's
if someone can build a political more political credibility by
(02:59):
kicking another member of the party out. Kristin Gilibrand thought
she was going to build a presidential race by knocking
out al Frankin during the height of the k Me
Too movement. It's not how it worked in the end.
For Christian Jilibrand. But it was all for her own
political advantage. But in this era where progressives have a
real stronghold on the party and are rising in political
capabilities in the party, there is no there is nothing
(03:21):
you're going to gain from speaking out against Graham Platner.
Very few Democrats are willing to do it either, and
a lot of them are either Jewish or very supportive
of Israel, because Platner's big thing is against Israel. I mean,
that's really what unites the far up is their hatred
of Jews. So I think that that is what that's
really where we're at is it doesn't it's not politically
(03:41):
advantageous for someone to speak out against him. It may
end up hurting their own chances and may seeing them
face a primary challenge in the future.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Right, did Bernie Sanders endorsed Platter Because what you just
said there, it's just interesting to me. Bernie Sanders is
a communist first and foremost. I guess, yeah, oh, he's
a big supporter.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
He's the or he was the first supporter.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Unbelievable that that's that, that's where this is the.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
First sporter And and look, I mean Collins is going
to fight like no one else did. It just depends
on how democrat a wave of the year is and
if she can continue to defy gravity that seat has
Maine has not elected a Democrat to the US Senate
in decades. It has been reliably Republican seats in the
US Senate, I think, going back to the nineteen seventies.
(04:26):
So we'll see if that that trend continues and she's
able to do it. But I would say there's more
things to there's more shoes to, there's more you know,
there's more controversy coming for Grand Platinair, and maybe he
doesn't survive because what I've been hearing from DC people
is way worse than what is already even out there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Really well for you to say that you're not you're
not a catastrophist or a sky is falling guy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So if you're saying you're hearing really bad, I am
curious with it.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Is it's bad enough where they're saying, can we win
the Senate majority without me? A number of Democratic consultants
have said that, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Out loud, Okay, we'll keep an eye out for that
for sure. Now take us over to California for a
minute here because I'm gonna tell you something, Ryan, I
get a little bit of heat sometimes when I come
on the air here, and not from everyone, but there
are some some in my beloved audience, some of the
folks who are with us now listening, they get mad
at me when I say, guys, if we're gonna say
(05:20):
they're cheating, you have to tell me how and show
me how. You know the how. Right, I'm not saying
they're not cheating. I'm not saying I don't think Democrats cheat.
I think Democrats would love to cheat as much as
they can get away with. But it's not enough to
just say they're cheating. They're cheating, they're cheating. Do we
have yet any data of cheating? To get what's his name,
(05:42):
Spencer Pratt out of this thing, Let's start with the
mayor's race before we talk governor.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
No, there is no evidence of broad cheating. I mean,
there's a lot of anecdotal stuff you see online that
is not evidence in itself, and if it was solid evidence,
the DOJ would love to prosecute people in Los Angeles,
especially Democrat act of this. When you really think about
the woman who came in second place, the city council woman.
She who with the unpronounced b alame. She did not
(06:09):
have the machine, the Democratic machine behind her. That was
all Karen Bess. And of the two candidates between Spencer
Pratt and the city councilmen, Spencer Pratt was the one
that us easier to be. So if the Democratic machine
was going to steal this election for an easier racer,
Karen Bess, they would have sold for prince of Spencer Pratt.
He made a lot of news nationwide. But remember LA
(06:30):
has become much more democratic over time. These major cities
New York, Chicago, Portland, you know, La, even Dallas and
Austin have become sponges where if you have forty five
genders and you know you weigh five hundred pounds and
you are only dreams to work at Starbucks as a barista,
you don't stay in Fresno. You don't stay in these
(06:50):
little cities across the country, or in rural America or
even in Red States. You all flock to the same places.
And that's why Amandani and a Brandon John and this
woman in La, this crack pot can win is because
they have you know, because because Florida doesn't have these
people anymore does best degree? Because they've moved all We've
(07:12):
had a student exchange program of crazies. So because all
the Republicans left the Blue States, all the nutbacks from
those red states have moved to the Blue states, and
the Blue states have become bluer and much more extremely liberal.
But here's why I say people all the time. The
thing that Republicans can win on in California this November
is a ballot INITIAT to demand voting rights of its
voter ID. It's a big constitutional amendment. They just need
(07:35):
a simple majority. The polls show it leading in a
lot of the polls that voters in California want voter
ID laws. The one thing that could have really upset
the whole entire thing was if the Republicans didn't make
the governor run off. So if they were going to
steal an election, they would have stole the governor's election,
not the mayor of LA. That means nothing to them
because they were likely to win no matter what. But
(07:56):
if Steve Hilton didn't make the ballot and Republicans had
no reason to show up in November, well, then the
chance of the voter ID law would have absolutely been
much lower. That's the thing you have to think about
is why would they steal the race that doesn't matter
and leave the race that does matter. And that's why
it doesn't even make sense the accusations.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Are throwing around so the governor's race. Can Steve Hilton
win this thing, because we've been pushing for him from
the very beginning when there were even other Republicans who
were vying for the top GOP slot if you will,
among a very crowded race. Are the numbers there so
that Hilton could flip this thing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, I mean they're not. It's just California is a really,
really tough state, and the Republicans saw the surge and
voter registration right after the election, and then it fell
apart because at the end of the day, Republicans are
getting out of California as much as they can. They're
going into Nevada, they're going to Texas, they're going to Arizona.
They're not staying in that state, and the people who
(08:55):
are are mostly Democrats. The Republicans have seen a voter
registration drop over the last year. If he's successful, the
one thing that that Steve Hilton can do is get
the get the voter ID law across the across the
finish line, and he can try to get Republicans running
for the state legislature across the finish line if he
performs in the mid forties. But that's I mean, that's it.
(09:18):
Who knows, maybe Big Sarah has a bunch of scandals.
I know he's not well well liked even among Democrats,
even among CNN. Democrats say that he's, you know, a
complete imbecile and was the worst person to buy an administration.
That may be enough for Democrats in California. It's just
that he is a d behind his name and they're
not willing to change it up.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
How we're looking for Senate control, would you say right
now overall? Like what are the key things you're looking
at and how do you think it's shaping up right now?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, I mean, obviously means a big deal. Republicans have
kind of written off North Carolina as just a loss.
I mean, they're going to spend money there, but it's
not looking good in North Carolina. The place is that
the good thing is that Republicans are gaining registration all
the swing seats for the for the House. If they're
going to keep the House competitive or the Senate. It's
kind of come down to really four places, Maine, Ohio, Iowa,
(10:04):
and Alaska. Texas is fifty to fifty. But I looked
at the new Sienna poll that just came out of
the Texas A and M University and there are actually
one in three Republicans don't know who Taller Rico is,
which is very very interesting. And there are more undecided
Republicans than there are Democrats. So I think Ken Paxon
can finish across the line. I'm not super super worried yet. Iowa.
(10:26):
There's a lot of problems in the Midwest over the
inflation because of the war. I've seen poles that even
show tight races at Nebraska and Kansas because of it.
The gas prices are over the top, and also the
tariffs are very bad in Iowa. But most of the
ire in War Alaska. Dan Sullivan has a lot of
problems on his hand, and people are already saying that,
you know, Democrats could win Ohio there. I mean they say,
(10:48):
bring now. Democrats have the advantage in Ohio and both
the governor and the Senate.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Race based on the numbers you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Ryan in internal Republican numbers that were people were showing me.
They were saying John Eustace does not have it right now.
And the Akraama swaming, who's doing marginally better because he's
got a lot of money, is also not very likable
and he's struggling in some poll numbers. So those are
the four races that will decide everything.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Could a surprise happen in Michigan, where Democrats are running
a left wing nut job. Of course there could be
surprises and scanners we don't know about. Of course, things
could get better as far as prices, as far as
oil prices, that would mean significant better chances in those
four places. Republicans are really lucky that the map is
so Republican this year. But those are the four states
(11:34):
we're going to see whether or not Republicans retain the
Senates Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, and Maine.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Is it clear as a point of political consensus based
on you're looking at the data, the numbers coming in
in all these different races and places, is the gas
price thing? The single biggest vulnerability the GOP has right now?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Is that clear?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Some food?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yep, guess some food. It's all because I mean I
spoke to Republican senators and these were mag Republican senators
and they were furious over the Iran war. They were like,
this is killing us. And I mean they were selling
the internal polls in solidly read states where the Republican
incumbent senator who was against a nobody Democrat was winning
(12:17):
by low single digits. It was they were. The gas
prices and the food prices are really hurt in them
among their key demographic, which is working class whites. They
are not doing as well with working class whites as
they should because of those stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And that is that tying in the why Platner is
Maybe is that tying into why Platner is a little
bit more of a concern than he would otherwise be.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, and also Platner has Yes, Planners are concern because
just Maine is a concern. Maine would have been a
concern no matter.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Who it is.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Planner is a concern because he created this image that
is utterly false and fake. And the guy's got you know,
more stories than Mother Goose as far as you know,
I'm a redemption, I'm redeeming. He's constantly on a search
for his own identity. He needs to be in a
psych ward not running for US Senate. That's just the
case of it. I mean, this is where we were
(13:06):
all having to bear to his emotional fallouts constantly.
Speaker 1 (13:11):

Brain mental mugging with Clay and Buck. Welcome back in
here to Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
We'll have to check in on this.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You guys can send an emails to ask Clay is
golfing today with some of our fantastic sponsors on this program.
So we use technically doing business for the show today.
At least that's what I'm told. That's what the story is.
But I'm hearing something about a hole in one. I
don't know. That's just the rumor out there that Clay
perhaps just stepped up there and.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Hit a three hundred yard drive hole in one. I
don't know. This is what some people are saying. Some
people are saying.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So you can ask him to answer for this rumor
on Monday when he's back on the program. Also, we
can officially welcome a new affiliate to the Clay and
Buck family. Today, KNZR News Talk fifteen sixty FM ninety
seven point seven is officially carrying Clay and Buck from
nine am to noon Pacific time. So we are very
(15:25):
excited about that. Thank you to KNZR World. And with that,
let's see Bill speaking about the West Coast Bill from Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
This is c on the talkbacks. Let's hit it.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
The guests said that there's no real evidence that there
is cheating going on at the mayoral race, but what
about the videos of the homeless people getting paid to
vote for Karen bass I think that's pretty compelling.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I've heard about this. I've heard about these videos.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
You know, if you think about it this way, Okay,
is that person going to give would that person give
sworn testimony? If that person gave sworn testimony, would it
sent up under cross examination? As in, would somebody be
able to say, Hey, this person who maybe lives on
the streets and as a drug addict, their word can
be taken on the issue of being paid to do. Now,
(16:24):
I'm not saying no, I'm just saying that's the standard
that you should apply or would be applied to this.
Because you're talking about a criminal actor. You can't go out,
you can't go around and pay people money for their votes.
So I think remember there was a big case about
whether you can give out water to people in line,
even who are voting. So there, when you say evidence
(16:46):
of cheating, I also want to be very clear on this.
I'm not saying there's no cheating. I'm not saying there's
no evidence of cheating. I am just saying, let's stay
what you did, Bill is completely within the realm of
what I'm asking for, which is point to what you
see tell everybody about the thing, which in this case
is paid off unhoused I think is the LA terminology.
(17:09):
But homeless paid off vagrants giving their votes in exchange
for for a couple of bucks. I would also think
it'd be more than I think even even a homeless
person with more than two dollars for their vote, right,
they'd probably negotiated up but a little bit, you know,
I would just I'm just again trying to gauge the
veracity of this claim. But that's that's a that's fair game.
(17:29):
When you say, hey, I think they're paying off homeless
people to vote, let's chase that down. That would be
evidence they're cheating. Because I like Spencer Pratt and I'm
bummed out that they that that he's no longer in
the mayor's race.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
That that's a feeling.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That's not evidence, and that's not going to stand up
beyond uh, just saying just saying it out loud. We'll
have Katie Zacharie on tomorrow by the way from from
California to talk about this. Israeli's citizens are on high
alert today, many of them anticipating attempted Missler drone attacks
from hostile forces. It's been this way for the better
part of nearly three years now, with some temporary pauses
(18:08):
and ceasefire agreements. As a nation, Israel doesn't have nearly
enough allies. We are, of course, their largest allies in
the United States. That's not just during the Trump administration
but before as well. Ronald Reagan was a staunch supporter
of Israel, respecting their interest in creating a self sufficient
country and one that stands by the principles of democracy.
As America celebrates its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary and
(18:29):
Israel pursues its own freedoms. The International Fellowship of Christians
and Jews the IFCJ reflects on the friendship between the
United States and Israel, two democracies built on faith, liberty,
and hope.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
The deal is a very good deal. The problem with
the deal is that it could be the greatest in history.
They could wave the white flag of surrender. They could
say we surrender, we surrender, We're finished.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
We've had it.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
The United States is the greatest power, Praise be to Allah,
and they could do all of this. They could say
it loud and clear, and the fake news would say
it was a great victory for Iran. I mean, it's
the craziest thing I've ever seen. We're killing them, They're finished.
And yet the fake news, just like with the election,
the fake news is out there saying, Wow, Iran is
(19:28):
doing just so well. Trump is doing terribly. I watched
it yesterday one of the shows by five minutes. Haven't
seen the show in a long while. This fake Joe
Scarborough talking about how well Iran it's doing. I'm saying,
where did they come from? It's just the craziest thing.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
President Trump this morning. There he is, President Trump, big guy.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
We love you.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Done amazing things for this country and continue to do so.
Just tell us the deal is done and what's in
the deal. I keep hearing how amazing the deal is
and how we're not being we need to be talking
about how great the deal is. But we don't have
a deal yet. Maybe we will tomorrow, I'm hoping, But
(20:10):
we don't have a deal yet. It is not done,
and I don't know what's in it. So this is
the sort of kabooky dance that we're all in here
of like, oh but don't be fake news and say
it's not the greatest deal ever. Okay, sure, Just is
it done and what is it? I need those pieces
(20:31):
of the equation. And I've been hearing from this White House,
not just from President Trump but from the White House
in general for months now. They're on the ropes. They're finished. Okay,
we'll throw on the ropes and they're finished. Why is
it so hard to get them to sign their name
to the deal again. I am very much hoping tomorrow
I could say, ah, okay, signed here. It is total
(20:53):
surrender from Iran on the key points. We need mechanisms
in place for enforcement that Trump can in worse and
will total victory, you know, put him put them on
Mount Rushmore, biggest win since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I'm hoping for that, but I'm not doing that until
it happens, Okay, and I'm not We're not going to
get bullied into like, well, don't be like the fake
news and not tell what a great deal it is.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
We don't have a deal yet. What are we talking
about here, folks.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
We don't even know what's in it and we don't
have it, so how what was supposed to do? You know,
we're being asked to run up hill on this one
a little too much.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Again.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Tomorrow may be totally different tune. Things will be great.
We'll see oh something else. By the way, I wanted it,
because one of our callers called in about this again.
I try to be very I try to speak with
clarity and precision about what I mean on issues like
voter fraud and and that when we talk about it,
I want to talk about what the fraud is not
(21:55):
I think there's fraud. There are a lot of people
out there who just saying they cheated, they cheated.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Remember when you were.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
A kid and you played, whether you're playing, you know,
high school football or you're playing third grade kickball, sometimes
there'd be a kid who, uh, you know, you cheated.
Oh the reps were bought off? Well were they? Or
did it just not go your way? In this case,
we should make sure that we know the difference. LA
(22:22):
has so many we had Ryan Gerdusky on talking about this,
so many crazy people. It keeps getting more democrat. There's
a whole system and you sit here, I sit here,
and we say, but there's a disorder and the spending
and the fraud and the crime and the stuff on
the streets. People who are of the leftist mindset say,
but all.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
The social justice. They're doing so much social justice. It's
so great, and I'm one of the good people that
supports it. And even if there's a crazy person peeing
on my front door when I come home at night,
at least I know that I voted for the social justice.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You know, or the race communism or whatever it is.
There are a lot of people who think that way
and feel that way. I don't mean a lot like
a hand. I mean millions and millions and millions of
them in this country, unfortunately, and a lot of them
live in Los Angeles. But our caller mentioned the report. Guys,
who is this report from? I'm just reading the transcript
(23:20):
of this the homeless woman living on skid Row? Joe,
I just wanted to give Is this like a local
news report or who is this?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Well? I'll figure that out and we'll play it. This
has cut nine here it is. Listen to the audio.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Do you vote?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Are for Cambeth?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Karen Bath or Nitthia Ramin? Karen Karen. They told you
about with Karen.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's how much they pay you two bucks on the
side off on a thing the vote.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, they do this for everybody out here.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Okay, I mean that here they're telling me what this
who this report is from?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Which is important? Let me see it was a James
O'Keefe report picked up by the New York Post, and
New York Post picked it up. Okay, so it's the
post the post sort of promoting a TikTok account that
(24:24):
says la needs It's called la Needs Spencer Pratt, Guys,
this okay, this chain of reporting here is you know,
not ideal. We'll see about this. Yeah, I just it
could be could be very real, but we we need
(24:44):
to make sure that we know and keep in mind
there's always in a lot of elections there is some
voter fraud. But this is the other part of the conversation.
Is it an individual or is it systemic? Is it
is it enough voter fraud to change the outcome of
the election. There are elections where somebody double voted and
that's technically illegal. That's a crime. If you find somebody
(25:06):
who double voted, that's not changing the outcome of election
for governor, mayor of a large city or anything for
that matter. So that's also something to take into account
with this. I want us to be specific about it
because in twenty twenty there were so much that was
not on the up and up about that election. There
were so many areas of abuse of the system and
(25:29):
malfeasance and breaking rules and courts allowing and everything else.
But there were some people who were shouting the loudest,
crazy people stuff, crazy people stuff, and then you know
what gets What happens is that everybody gets pushed aside
with the oh you're part of the crazy people stuff.
So this is why I like to keep it as
(25:52):
to the facts as possible. Colby from New York wants
to talk. He listens on w ws y r D
Colby hit it.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Hey Buck, Colby from the Trucks to New York.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Just wondering why your voice seems.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
To be like an active deeper today.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
Are you gonna do some very white at karaoke later on?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Is my voice deeper to the it is horse because
I was talking until late last night.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Is my voice sound if it's different?
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It is? Okay, Yeah, my voice is a little bit shot.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
And that's also you might have apologies for me clearing
my throat a little bit. I try to do it
away from the mic, but that's that's just irritation. Yeah, guys,
it's from It's from staying up late watching the Knicks
and uh and also talking to people late late lessli. Yeah,
I have a horse. That's your answer, Colby, Man, you
guys have a good ear. The back of my throat
(26:45):
is uh is scratched up. So if I sound a
little a little bit like you know, you said Perry
White can't get enough, you'll love baby. That's a great
it's great tunes. This is why Clay and I big
throw down, big throat out on the show. When he
said R and B was bad, was all bad music.
I'm not saying all rbing's is good, obviously, but there
(27:06):
is some really good R and B. Jeff in La
wants to talk, Jeff, what have you got for us?
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Okay, listen every day. Never felt the need to call in,
but I was just irritated enough. We all love Ryan Gardusky,
but I feel like he's doing something. I keep hearing,
you know on TV, Harry Enton, for example, but they
keep straw manning the conspiracy that people keep making fun of.
No one thinks that Karen Bass is pulling the strings.
(27:37):
She's a moron. But the La mayoral race is actually
a big deal. It would be a massive black eye
to the Democrat machine. And also, like what happened when
Spencer Pratt looked like he won the runoff, he said
he had five months to basically just destroy her and
their policies. They don't want that. They couldn't afford that.
(27:57):
The conspiracy is that they needed to get him out
and they don't care who wins, or maybe they actually
would prefer Ramen, but people keep trying to make it
sound stupid like, oh no, she'd rather have run against Spencer.
That's the dumbest conspiracy. No one on the ground thinks
that was the conspiracy. And also, from what I understand,
Raman I believe won every single dump of vallot dump
(28:18):
from what was it, like Friday to Monday or Tuesday,
but she didn't even win her own council district. It's
very weird. But yeah, I just feel like people keep
straw manning that and driving me crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, so you're going to and I wish Ryan was
here to answer this, and maybe if he's listening to
the show, he could text me what his response would be,
because I obviously can't speak on his behalf. And look,
I appreciate that you respected Ryan. Does he lives in
the data? I mean, he's doing this stuff all the time.
It sounds to me, Jeff, like you're speaking to what
the motivations, Like you disagree with the notion that the
(28:49):
conspiracy the conspiracy's motivations would indicate that what happened wouldn't
happen if there was a conspiracy. Right. I know that's
a little circuitous, but that that's I think what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
What I would just want to know beyond that, though,
is okay.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
So then what what was happening or where was it happening?
Because if we can't if we can't prove it, does
it really matter what we think? So that's and the
DJ this Trump DJ, and I do think this is
a very valid point that Ryan brought up. They would
be happy to put it mildly, to bring a federal
(29:32):
case against any individual, entity, et cetera that was involved
in in vote rigging of any kind, right, so, you know,
racketeering or whatever whatever it is that they would you
know that they would want to bring as a charge.
Now can they bring it if it's an LA mayor's race,
you know, federal jurisdiction issue, that's that is interesting in
(29:52):
and of itself. But I would just say, I want
I want people to find the data and not tell
me how ticked off they are about the right.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I need people to go out there and find more witnesses.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I mean, if these people are being paid Okay, well,
let's get them before a judge and let's get them
to swear. Let's actually, you know, put this to to
task because otherwise we just turn into people who whine
when we lose as Republicans, and we don't want that.
That's we've got to leave that to the Democrats. Thank
you very much, Jeff for calling in from La where
we also you know, we have a huge audience in California.
(30:26):
As a state, we always said it's a blue state.
Got a lot of Republicans, A lot of Republicans in
California that's white. People say, oh, why do you like
New York City so much? Well, my family lives there.
For one, half my family, and two you got like
seven hundred thousand six in New York City, not New
York State, six or seven hundred thousand Republicans. Based on
the last election cycle, it might even be more like
(30:47):
eight hundred thousand who voted for Trump in New York City.
So you got a lot of people there that see reality.
Oh something fun here, producer Greg pulled this together. We
were talking yesterday about what, buddy, what do you call
a male Karen? Because I think that that's there is
a thing right if a guy is the one who says,
(31:10):
I need to talk to the manager. People are being
too loud on their phones, which, by the way, I
think is a heroic move when people are being too
loud on their phones in public. This is a montage
play a on the listener talkbacks. The official name for
a male Karen is Kevin. We always referred to male
Karen's as Neil Buck.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
A male Karen is considered a Richard.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
A male Karen is known as a Kevin.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
They're called todds Man tod a male Karendy.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
So well done, producer, Greg Uh. You guys all have
different answers to the question, which means that there is
no one answer to the question right. I think think
the only one that appeared twice there was Kevin. A
Karen is a Kevin. I feel like that's unfair to
Kevin's out there, to Kevin's in the audience.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Do you wish to defend your honor? Is this a thing?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Are you known as a Kevin if you call for
the manager.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
As a guy. But I still stand behind what I said.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
People who go who go the extra mile to enforce
norms and civility in public because no one else. It
has to be some person who's going to do it.
I'm gonna tell you I get it. A lot of
servers in restaurants I've come up against come up with
against this, and I've talked to servers about it, and
(32:39):
you know, they don't want to be the one that
has to tell of patrons. And the patron likes to
get really aggressive, and you know, how dare you. I'm
I'm facetiming my my. You know, they'll come up with
some story my ailing grandmother and like, actually it's you know,
some some side chick that he's you know, not telling
his wife about. But whatever, the point is, like they
don't want to get in, so somebody has to get involved.
(33:02):
And there are heroes among us. They don't all wear capes,
and some of them are named Karen. Apparently, some of
them are named Kevin. Cyber Hackers love a good challenge.
They thrive off hacking into company databases. The goal is
to steal lots of data, some of it possibly yours,
and then sell it to the dark web. That's often
how your online identity gets stolen. Happens all the time,
(33:23):
but only the big data breaches get reported in the news.
Carnival Cruz's database was hacked last month five million plus
customers look.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Bottom line is cyber threats are everywhere.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
That's why you want to have Lifelocks online identity theft protection.
LifeLock monitors hundreds of millions of data points a second
for identity threats, which is way more than anyone can
do on their own, and LifeLock alerts you right away
if anything pops up. You get a text, phone call
and email us a backup. They want you to know
right away, and your protection includes lifelocks million dollar protection package.

Wind down your day with the Daily Review podcast. Find
it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
The Kevin's of America unite, standing up for their honor
after some called it into question. I suppose by saying
that a male Karen is a Kevin Kevin in Waynesville,
North Carolina, you are first up at bats or what
say you?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
That's me.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
I've been Kevin all my seventy years, and in Gaelic
Kevin means gentle lion, and I don't look like a
male Karen, a heron whatever it.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Is gentle interesting? Are there really any gentle lions? That's
a that's a bit of a kind of an oxymoron?
Is it it in Gaelic? No, I understand, And Gaelic
I think they sometimes they even call that Irish now right,
But I'm just saying like, a, yeah, I've never met
a I've never met a gentle lion before. They generally
(35:12):
are not so gentle. Thank you for calling in, though, Kevin.
Thank you for defending the honor of all Kevin's.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah. I met.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Brady Quinn last night and it took me a minute
to realize. I was like, oh, this is the famous
football man, mister Brady Quinn and his wife who's in Olympia.
They're a lovely couple, and was chatting them a little
bit and I found out that she has a Connie Corso,
and I just thought this was so funny because here
was I was like, Oh, you're dog people. I'm a
(35:43):
dog person. They're like and by the way, they're just
both lovely. I think Brady does Clay's former show on
on iHeart on on sports Radio, and he looks like
like Superman. By the way, the guys, I was like, man,
this guy's squarege always a handsome fellow, lovely wife.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
But we're talking about dogs.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
And I'm like, oh, I've got my dog is Ginger Spice,
and she's so fluffy and sweet and cute, and she's
weighs twenty five pounds and you know, she just sits
on my lap and cuddles my feet. And I was like,
what do you guys have, Like we have a kanaate corso.
I was like, whoa, I don't know how many of
you have a kanate corso. But those things, it's like
a pit bull and a mastiff got together to create
(36:25):
a dog that could bring about the end of days
or something, and those things are beasts. So anyway, I
lost in the dog showdown there for sure, But Ginger
Spice is cuddly and sweet. I'll be back with you tomorrow.
I'll be home in Miami. We have some great guests
lined up. We have a lot to talk about. Hopefully
we'll have a Trump deal, and maybe maybe I'll give
(36:47):
you my pregame analysis for the Knicks in six
Third hour of playing buck gets going right. Now. We're
joined by our friend Ryan Gardusky. He's a host of
the It's a Numbers Game podcast, which is a fantastic
place to get real insights data analysis on all the
political stuff. You want to be smarter than your friends
who think they know about politics, listen to Ryan's It's
a Numbers Game and you can slap them around with poles, facts, figures,
(00:24):
and data. Mister Gerdusky, always great to have you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Thank you for having me again.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
All right, let's let's we got I got a few
things to talk to you about. First off, this guy
Platner in Maine. So now that he is the guy.
If you're and you've been involved with just whatever nose,
you've been involved with political campaigns before, so you really
know how this machinery operates. How formidable is this guy?
How do you think Colin stacks up against him? Democrats,
(00:52):
it seems, don't care about the Nazi tattoo, the you know,
maltreatment of women black, all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Where does this all share out?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I mean, listen, Maine is a democratic state. Maine has
not voted for a Republican in many decades. It's also
ironically the state that Ross Purow did the best in
back in nineteen ninety two and nineteen ninety six, so
it has some working class, rustic populous feels to it. However,
Susan Collins is a machine in the States. She's known
as especially for her constituent services, known as like the
(01:23):
best in the state to get something done, so she's
built in a lot of loyalty. She overperforms polls on
average by eight to twelve points. That being said, in
a democratic year with a democratic state, that may be
enough to knock her out. He is formidable. You should
not assume that because he's got all these scandals he
can't lose. Sorry, he can't win. He can win. Susan
(01:44):
Collins is one of the toughest candidates to beat those
So yeah, I would say right now it's fifty to
fifty at best, just because of her history of beating
the polls. But on its face, on the polling by itself,
Platner has the advantage, but because of her ability to
(02:04):
beat everyone's predictions, I always say it's fifty to fifty
at best.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
What do you think this this era that we're in now?
I mean, how would you assess the whole. Oh but
but Plattner is such a scumbag. He said bad things.
I feel like the rule of Democrats is if they
think the candidate can win, and they and that's that
is the person they need to win.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I keep hearing, Oh, we're gonna the next shoe is
gonna drop, and Platner is going to be out of
this thing. I think a lot of shoes have dropped,
and nobody really seems to care very much.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, I was just in DC, and I'm telling you
there are from what everything I've heard from people who
are legitimate, there are more shoes to drop that are
actually even more serious than the allegations that already have
come out. So wouldn't be surprised. That's why he keeps
saying nothing real is coming out. But it is. But
it's not a matter of if they can win, it's
if someone can build a political more political credibility by
(02:59):
kicking another member of the party out. Kristin Gilibrand thought
she was going to build a presidential race by knocking
out al Frankin during the height of the k Me
Too movement. It's not how it worked in the end.
For Christian Jilibrand. But it was all for her own
political advantage. But in this era where progressives have a
real stronghold on the party and are rising in political
capabilities in the party, there is no there is nothing
(03:21):
you're going to gain from speaking out against Graham Platner.
Very few Democrats are willing to do it either, and
a lot of them are either Jewish or very supportive
of Israel, because Platner's big thing is against Israel. I mean,
that's really what unites the far up is their hatred
of Jews. So I think that that is what that's
really where we're at is it doesn't it's not politically
(03:41):
advantageous for someone to speak out against him. It may
end up hurting their own chances and may seeing them
face a primary challenge in the future.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Right, did Bernie Sanders endorsed Platter Because what you just
said there, it's just interesting to me. Bernie Sanders is
a communist first and foremost. I guess, yeah, oh, he's
a big supporter.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
He's the or he was the first supporter.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Unbelievable that that's that, that's where this is the.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
First sporter And and look, I mean Collins is going
to fight like no one else did. It just depends
on how democrat a wave of the year is and
if she can continue to defy gravity that seat has
Maine has not elected a Democrat to the US Senate
in decades. It has been reliably Republican seats in the
US Senate, I think, going back to the nineteen seventies.
(04:26):
So we'll see if that that trend continues and she's
able to do it. But I would say there's more
things to there's more shoes to, there's more you know,
there's more controversy coming for Grand Platinair, and maybe he
doesn't survive because what I've been hearing from DC people
is way worse than what is already even out there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Really well for you to say that you're not you're
not a catastrophist or a sky is falling guy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So if you're saying you're hearing really bad, I am
curious with it.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Is it's bad enough where they're saying, can we win
the Senate majority without me? A number of Democratic consultants
have said that, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Out loud, Okay, we'll keep an eye out for that
for sure. Now take us over to California for a
minute here because I'm gonna tell you something, Ryan, I
get a little bit of heat sometimes when I come
on the air here, and not from everyone, but there
are some some in my beloved audience, some of the
folks who are with us now listening, they get mad
at me when I say, guys, if we're gonna say
(05:20):
they're cheating, you have to tell me how and show
me how. You know the how. Right, I'm not saying
they're not cheating. I'm not saying I don't think Democrats cheat.
I think Democrats would love to cheat as much as
they can get away with. But it's not enough to
just say they're cheating. They're cheating, they're cheating. Do we
have yet any data of cheating? To get what's his name,
(05:42):
Spencer Pratt out of this thing, Let's start with the
mayor's race before we talk governor.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
No, there is no evidence of broad cheating. I mean,
there's a lot of anecdotal stuff you see online that
is not evidence in itself, and if it was solid evidence,
the DOJ would love to prosecute people in Los Angeles,
especially Democrat act of this. When you really think about
the woman who came in second place, the city council woman.
She who with the unpronounced b alame. She did not
(06:09):
have the machine, the Democratic machine behind her. That was
all Karen Bess. And of the two candidates between Spencer
Pratt and the city councilmen, Spencer Pratt was the one
that us easier to be. So if the Democratic machine
was going to steal this election for an easier racer,
Karen Bess, they would have sold for prince of Spencer Pratt.
He made a lot of news nationwide. But remember LA
(06:30):
has become much more democratic over time. These major cities
New York, Chicago, Portland, you know, La, even Dallas and
Austin have become sponges where if you have forty five
genders and you know you weigh five hundred pounds and
you are only dreams to work at Starbucks as a barista,
you don't stay in Fresno. You don't stay in these
(06:50):
little cities across the country, or in rural America or
even in Red States. You all flock to the same places.
And that's why Amandani and a Brandon John and this
woman in La, this crack pot can win is because
they have you know, because because Florida doesn't have these
people anymore does best degree? Because they've moved all We've
(07:12):
had a student exchange program of crazies. So because all
the Republicans left the Blue States, all the nutbacks from
those red states have moved to the Blue states, and
the Blue states have become bluer and much more extremely liberal.
But here's why I say people all the time. The
thing that Republicans can win on in California this November
is a ballot INITIAT to demand voting rights of its
voter ID. It's a big constitutional amendment. They just need
(07:35):
a simple majority. The polls show it leading in a
lot of the polls that voters in California want voter
ID laws. The one thing that could have really upset
the whole entire thing was if the Republicans didn't make
the governor run off. So if they were going to
steal an election, they would have stole the governor's election,
not the mayor of LA. That means nothing to them
because they were likely to win no matter what. But
(07:56):
if Steve Hilton didn't make the ballot and Republicans had
no reason to show up in November, well, then the
chance of the voter ID law would have absolutely been
much lower. That's the thing you have to think about
is why would they steal the race that doesn't matter
and leave the race that does matter. And that's why
it doesn't even make sense the accusations.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Are throwing around so the governor's race. Can Steve Hilton
win this thing, because we've been pushing for him from
the very beginning when there were even other Republicans who
were vying for the top GOP slot if you will,
among a very crowded race. Are the numbers there so
that Hilton could flip this thing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, I mean they're not. It's just California is a really,
really tough state, and the Republicans saw the surge and
voter registration right after the election, and then it fell
apart because at the end of the day, Republicans are
getting out of California as much as they can. They're
going into Nevada, they're going to Texas, they're going to Arizona.
They're not staying in that state, and the people who
(08:55):
are are mostly Democrats. The Republicans have seen a voter
registration drop over the last year. If he's successful, the
one thing that that Steve Hilton can do is get
the get the voter ID law across the across the
finish line, and he can try to get Republicans running
for the state legislature across the finish line if he
performs in the mid forties. But that's I mean, that's it.
(09:18):
Who knows, maybe Big Sarah has a bunch of scandals.
I know he's not well well liked even among Democrats,
even among CNN. Democrats say that he's, you know, a
complete imbecile and was the worst person to buy an administration.
That may be enough for Democrats in California. It's just
that he is a d behind his name and they're
not willing to change it up.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
How we're looking for Senate control, would you say right
now overall? Like what are the key things you're looking
at and how do you think it's shaping up right now?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, I mean, obviously means a big deal. Republicans have
kind of written off North Carolina as just a loss.
I mean, they're going to spend money there, but it's
not looking good in North Carolina. The place is that
the good thing is that Republicans are gaining registration all
the swing seats for the for the House. If they're
going to keep the House competitive or the Senate. It's
kind of come down to really four places, Maine, Ohio, Iowa,
(10:04):
and Alaska. Texas is fifty to fifty. But I looked
at the new Sienna poll that just came out of
the Texas A and M University and there are actually
one in three Republicans don't know who Taller Rico is,
which is very very interesting. And there are more undecided
Republicans than there are Democrats. So I think Ken Paxon
can finish across the line. I'm not super super worried yet. Iowa.
(10:26):
There's a lot of problems in the Midwest over the
inflation because of the war. I've seen poles that even
show tight races at Nebraska and Kansas because of it.
The gas prices are over the top, and also the
tariffs are very bad in Iowa. But most of the
ire in War Alaska. Dan Sullivan has a lot of
problems on his hand, and people are already saying that,
you know, Democrats could win Ohio there. I mean they say,
(10:48):
bring now. Democrats have the advantage in Ohio and both
the governor and the Senate.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Race based on the numbers you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Ryan in internal Republican numbers that were people were showing me.
They were saying John Eustace does not have it right now.
And the Akraama swaming, who's doing marginally better because he's
got a lot of money, is also not very likable
and he's struggling in some poll numbers. So those are
the four races that will decide everything.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Could a surprise happen in Michigan, where Democrats are running
a left wing nut job. Of course there could be
surprises and scanners we don't know about. Of course, things
could get better as far as prices, as far as
oil prices, that would mean significant better chances in those
four places. Republicans are really lucky that the map is
so Republican this year. But those are the four states
(11:34):
we're going to see whether or not Republicans retain the
Senates Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, and Maine.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Is it clear as a point of political consensus based
on you're looking at the data, the numbers coming in
in all these different races and places, is the gas
price thing? The single biggest vulnerability the GOP has right now?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Is that clear?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Some food?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yep, guess some food. It's all because I mean I
spoke to Republican senators and these were mag Republican senators
and they were furious over the Iran war. They were like,
this is killing us. And I mean they were selling
the internal polls in solidly read states where the Republican
incumbent senator who was against a nobody Democrat was winning
(12:17):
by low single digits. It was they were. The gas
prices and the food prices are really hurt in them
among their key demographic, which is working class whites. They
are not doing as well with working class whites as
they should because of those stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And that is that tying in the why Platner is
Maybe is that tying into why Platner is a little
bit more of a concern than he would otherwise be.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, and also Platner has Yes, Planners are concern because
just Maine is a concern. Maine would have been a
concern no matter.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Who it is.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Planner is a concern because he created this image that
is utterly false and fake. And the guy's got you know,
more stories than Mother Goose as far as you know,
I'm a redemption, I'm redeeming. He's constantly on a search
for his own identity. He needs to be in a
psych ward not running for US Senate. That's just the
case of it. I mean, this is where we were
(13:06):
all having to bear to his emotional fallouts constantly.
Speaker 1 (13:11):

Brain mental mugging with Clay and Buck. Welcome back in
here to Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
We'll have to check in on this.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You guys can send an emails to ask Clay is
golfing today with some of our fantastic sponsors on this program.
So we use technically doing business for the show today.
At least that's what I'm told. That's what the story is.
But I'm hearing something about a hole in one. I
don't know. That's just the rumor out there that Clay
perhaps just stepped up there and.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Hit a three hundred yard drive hole in one. I
don't know. This is what some people are saying. Some
people are saying.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So you can ask him to answer for this rumor
on Monday when he's back on the program. Also, we
can officially welcome a new affiliate to the Clay and
Buck family. Today, KNZR News Talk fifteen sixty FM ninety
seven point seven is officially carrying Clay and Buck from
nine am to noon Pacific time. So we are very
(15:25):
excited about that. Thank you to KNZR World. And with that,
let's see Bill speaking about the West Coast Bill from Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
This is c on the talkbacks. Let's hit it.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
The guests said that there's no real evidence that there
is cheating going on at the mayoral race, but what
about the videos of the homeless people getting paid to
vote for Karen bass I think that's pretty compelling.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I've heard about this. I've heard about these videos.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
You know, if you think about it this way, Okay,
is that person going to give would that person give
sworn testimony? If that person gave sworn testimony, would it
sent up under cross examination? As in, would somebody be
able to say, Hey, this person who maybe lives on
the streets and as a drug addict, their word can
be taken on the issue of being paid to do. Now,
(16:24):
I'm not saying no, I'm just saying that's the standard
that you should apply or would be applied to this.
Because you're talking about a criminal actor. You can't go out,
you can't go around and pay people money for their votes.
So I think remember there was a big case about
whether you can give out water to people in line,
even who are voting. So there, when you say evidence
(16:46):
of cheating, I also want to be very clear on this.
I'm not saying there's no cheating. I'm not saying there's
no evidence of cheating. I am just saying, let's stay
what you did, Bill is completely within the realm of
what I'm asking for, which is point to what you
see tell everybody about the thing, which in this case
is paid off unhoused I think is the LA terminology.
(17:09):
But homeless paid off vagrants giving their votes in exchange
for for a couple of bucks. I would also think
it'd be more than I think even even a homeless
person with more than two dollars for their vote, right,
they'd probably negotiated up but a little bit, you know,
I would just I'm just again trying to gauge the
veracity of this claim. But that's that's a that's fair game.
(17:29):
When you say, hey, I think they're paying off homeless
people to vote, let's chase that down. That would be
evidence they're cheating. Because I like Spencer Pratt and I'm
bummed out that they that that he's no longer in
the mayor's race.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
That that's a feeling.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That's not evidence, and that's not going to stand up
beyond uh, just saying just saying it out loud. We'll
have Katie Zacharie on tomorrow by the way from from
California to talk about this. Israeli's citizens are on high
alert today, many of them anticipating attempted Missler drone attacks
from hostile forces. It's been this way for the better
part of nearly three years now, with some temporary pauses
(18:08):
and ceasefire agreements. As a nation, Israel doesn't have nearly
enough allies. We are, of course, their largest allies in
the United States. That's not just during the Trump administration
but before as well. Ronald Reagan was a staunch supporter
of Israel, respecting their interest in creating a self sufficient
country and one that stands by the principles of democracy.
As America celebrates its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary and
(18:29):
Israel pursues its own freedoms. The International Fellowship of Christians
and Jews the IFCJ reflects on the friendship between the
United States and Israel, two democracies built on faith, liberty,
and hope.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
The deal is a very good deal. The problem with
the deal is that it could be the greatest in history.
They could wave the white flag of surrender. They could
say we surrender, we surrender, We're finished.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
We've had it.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
The United States is the greatest power, Praise be to Allah,
and they could do all of this. They could say
it loud and clear, and the fake news would say
it was a great victory for Iran. I mean, it's
the craziest thing I've ever seen. We're killing them, They're finished.
And yet the fake news, just like with the election,
the fake news is out there saying, Wow, Iran is
(19:28):
doing just so well. Trump is doing terribly. I watched
it yesterday one of the shows by five minutes. Haven't
seen the show in a long while. This fake Joe
Scarborough talking about how well Iran it's doing. I'm saying,
where did they come from? It's just the craziest thing.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
President Trump this morning. There he is, President Trump, big guy.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
We love you.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Done amazing things for this country and continue to do so.
Just tell us the deal is done and what's in
the deal. I keep hearing how amazing the deal is
and how we're not being we need to be talking
about how great the deal is. But we don't have
a deal yet. Maybe we will tomorrow, I'm hoping, But
(20:10):
we don't have a deal yet. It is not done,
and I don't know what's in it. So this is
the sort of kabooky dance that we're all in here
of like, oh but don't be fake news and say
it's not the greatest deal ever. Okay, sure, Just is
it done and what is it? I need those pieces
(20:31):
of the equation. And I've been hearing from this White House,
not just from President Trump but from the White House
in general for months now. They're on the ropes. They're finished. Okay,
we'll throw on the ropes and they're finished. Why is
it so hard to get them to sign their name
to the deal again. I am very much hoping tomorrow
I could say, ah, okay, signed here. It is total
(20:53):
surrender from Iran on the key points. We need mechanisms
in place for enforcement that Trump can in worse and
will total victory, you know, put him put them on
Mount Rushmore, biggest win since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I'm hoping for that, but I'm not doing that until
it happens, Okay, and I'm not We're not going to
get bullied into like, well, don't be like the fake
news and not tell what a great deal it is.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
We don't have a deal yet. What are we talking
about here, folks.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
We don't even know what's in it and we don't
have it, so how what was supposed to do? You know,
we're being asked to run up hill on this one
a little too much.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Again.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Tomorrow may be totally different tune. Things will be great.
We'll see oh something else. By the way, I wanted it,
because one of our callers called in about this again.
I try to be very I try to speak with
clarity and precision about what I mean on issues like
voter fraud and and that when we talk about it,
I want to talk about what the fraud is not
(21:55):
I think there's fraud. There are a lot of people
out there who just saying they cheated, they cheated.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Remember when you were.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
A kid and you played, whether you're playing, you know,
high school football or you're playing third grade kickball, sometimes
there'd be a kid who, uh, you know, you cheated.
Oh the reps were bought off? Well were they? Or
did it just not go your way? In this case,
we should make sure that we know the difference. LA
(22:22):
has so many we had Ryan Gerdusky on talking about this,
so many crazy people. It keeps getting more democrat. There's
a whole system and you sit here, I sit here,
and we say, but there's a disorder and the spending
and the fraud and the crime and the stuff on
the streets. People who are of the leftist mindset say,
but all.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
The social justice. They're doing so much social justice. It's
so great, and I'm one of the good people that
supports it. And even if there's a crazy person peeing
on my front door when I come home at night,
at least I know that I voted for the social justice.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You know, or the race communism or whatever it is.
There are a lot of people who think that way
and feel that way. I don't mean a lot like
a hand. I mean millions and millions and millions of
them in this country, unfortunately, and a lot of them
live in Los Angeles. But our caller mentioned the report. Guys,
who is this report from? I'm just reading the transcript
(23:20):
of this the homeless woman living on skid Row? Joe,
I just wanted to give Is this like a local
news report or who is this?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Well? I'll figure that out and we'll play it. This
has cut nine here it is. Listen to the audio.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Do you vote?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Are for Cambeth?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Karen Bath or Nitthia Ramin? Karen Karen. They told you
about with Karen.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's how much they pay you two bucks on the
side off on a thing the vote.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, they do this for everybody out here.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Okay, I mean that here they're telling me what this
who this report is from?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Which is important? Let me see it was a James
O'Keefe report picked up by the New York Post, and
New York Post picked it up. Okay, so it's the
post the post sort of promoting a TikTok account that
(24:24):
says la needs It's called la Needs Spencer Pratt, Guys,
this okay, this chain of reporting here is you know,
not ideal. We'll see about this. Yeah, I just it
could be could be very real, but we we need
(24:44):
to make sure that we know and keep in mind
there's always in a lot of elections there is some
voter fraud. But this is the other part of the conversation.
Is it an individual or is it systemic? Is it
is it enough voter fraud to change the outcome of
the election. There are elections where somebody double voted and
that's technically illegal. That's a crime. If you find somebody
(25:06):
who double voted, that's not changing the outcome of election
for governor, mayor of a large city or anything for
that matter. So that's also something to take into account
with this. I want us to be specific about it
because in twenty twenty there were so much that was
not on the up and up about that election. There
were so many areas of abuse of the system and
(25:29):
malfeasance and breaking rules and courts allowing and everything else.
But there were some people who were shouting the loudest,
crazy people stuff, crazy people stuff, and then you know
what gets What happens is that everybody gets pushed aside
with the oh you're part of the crazy people stuff.
So this is why I like to keep it as
(25:52):
to the facts as possible. Colby from New York wants
to talk. He listens on w ws y r D
Colby hit it.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Hey Buck, Colby from the Trucks to New York.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Just wondering why your voice seems.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
To be like an active deeper today.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
Are you gonna do some very white at karaoke later on?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Is my voice deeper to the it is horse because
I was talking until late last night.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Is my voice sound if it's different?
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It is? Okay, Yeah, my voice is a little bit shot.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
And that's also you might have apologies for me clearing
my throat a little bit. I try to do it
away from the mic, but that's that's just irritation. Yeah, guys,
it's from It's from staying up late watching the Knicks
and uh and also talking to people late late lessli. Yeah,
I have a horse. That's your answer, Colby, Man, you
guys have a good ear. The back of my throat
(26:45):
is uh is scratched up. So if I sound a
little a little bit like you know, you said Perry
White can't get enough, you'll love baby. That's a great
it's great tunes. This is why Clay and I big
throw down, big throat out on the show. When he
said R and B was bad, was all bad music.
I'm not saying all rbing's is good, obviously, but there
(27:06):
is some really good R and B. Jeff in La
wants to talk, Jeff, what have you got for us?
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Okay, listen every day. Never felt the need to call in,
but I was just irritated enough. We all love Ryan Gardusky,
but I feel like he's doing something. I keep hearing,
you know on TV, Harry Enton, for example, but they
keep straw manning the conspiracy that people keep making fun of.
No one thinks that Karen Bass is pulling the strings.
(27:37):
She's a moron. But the La mayoral race is actually
a big deal. It would be a massive black eye
to the Democrat machine. And also, like what happened when
Spencer Pratt looked like he won the runoff, he said
he had five months to basically just destroy her and
their policies. They don't want that. They couldn't afford that.
(27:57):
The conspiracy is that they needed to get him out
and they don't care who wins, or maybe they actually
would prefer Ramen, but people keep trying to make it
sound stupid like, oh no, she'd rather have run against Spencer.
That's the dumbest conspiracy. No one on the ground thinks
that was the conspiracy. And also, from what I understand,
Raman I believe won every single dump of vallot dump
(28:18):
from what was it, like Friday to Monday or Tuesday,
but she didn't even win her own council district. It's
very weird. But yeah, I just feel like people keep
straw manning that and driving me crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, so you're going to and I wish Ryan was
here to answer this, and maybe if he's listening to
the show, he could text me what his response would be,
because I obviously can't speak on his behalf. And look,
I appreciate that you respected Ryan. Does he lives in
the data? I mean, he's doing this stuff all the time.
It sounds to me, Jeff, like you're speaking to what
the motivations, Like you disagree with the notion that the
(28:49):
conspiracy the conspiracy's motivations would indicate that what happened wouldn't
happen if there was a conspiracy. Right. I know that's
a little circuitous, but that that's I think what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
What I would just want to know beyond that, though,
is okay.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
So then what what was happening or where was it happening?
Because if we can't if we can't prove it, does
it really matter what we think? So that's and the
DJ this Trump DJ, and I do think this is
a very valid point that Ryan brought up. They would
be happy to put it mildly, to bring a federal
(29:32):
case against any individual, entity, et cetera that was involved
in in vote rigging of any kind, right, so, you know,
racketeering or whatever whatever it is that they would you
know that they would want to bring as a charge.
Now can they bring it if it's an LA mayor's race,
you know, federal jurisdiction issue, that's that is interesting in
(29:52):
and of itself. But I would just say, I want
I want people to find the data and not tell
me how ticked off they are about the right.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I need people to go out there and find more witnesses.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I mean, if these people are being paid Okay, well,
let's get them before a judge and let's get them
to swear. Let's actually, you know, put this to to
task because otherwise we just turn into people who whine
when we lose as Republicans, and we don't want that.
That's we've got to leave that to the Democrats. Thank
you very much, Jeff for calling in from La where
we also you know, we have a huge audience in California.
(30:26):
As a state, we always said it's a blue state.
Got a lot of Republicans, A lot of Republicans in
California that's white. People say, oh, why do you like
New York City so much? Well, my family lives there.
For one, half my family, and two you got like
seven hundred thousand six in New York City, not New
York State, six or seven hundred thousand Republicans. Based on
the last election cycle, it might even be more like
(30:47):
eight hundred thousand who voted for Trump in New York City.
So you got a lot of people there that see reality.
Oh something fun here, producer Greg pulled this together. We
were talking yesterday about what, buddy, what do you call
a male Karen? Because I think that that's there is
a thing right if a guy is the one who says,
(31:10):
I need to talk to the manager. People are being
too loud on their phones, which, by the way, I
think is a heroic move when people are being too
loud on their phones in public. This is a montage
play a on the listener talkbacks. The official name for
a male Karen is Kevin. We always referred to male
Karen's as Neil Buck.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
A male Karen is considered a Richard.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
A male Karen is known as a Kevin.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
They're called todds Man tod a male Karendy.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
So well done, producer, Greg Uh. You guys all have
different answers to the question, which means that there is
no one answer to the question right. I think think
the only one that appeared twice there was Kevin. A
Karen is a Kevin. I feel like that's unfair to
Kevin's out there, to Kevin's in the audience.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Do you wish to defend your honor? Is this a thing?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Are you known as a Kevin if you call for
the manager.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
As a guy. But I still stand behind what I said.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
People who go who go the extra mile to enforce
norms and civility in public because no one else. It
has to be some person who's going to do it.
I'm gonna tell you I get it. A lot of
servers in restaurants I've come up against come up with
against this, and I've talked to servers about it, and
(32:39):
you know, they don't want to be the one that
has to tell of patrons. And the patron likes to
get really aggressive, and you know, how dare you. I'm
I'm facetiming my my. You know, they'll come up with
some story my ailing grandmother and like, actually it's you know,
some some side chick that he's you know, not telling
his wife about. But whatever, the point is, like they
don't want to get in, so somebody has to get involved.
(33:02):
And there are heroes among us. They don't all wear capes,
and some of them are named Karen. Apparently, some of
them are named Kevin. Cyber Hackers love a good challenge.
They thrive off hacking into company databases. The goal is
to steal lots of data, some of it possibly yours,
and then sell it to the dark web. That's often
how your online identity gets stolen. Happens all the time,
(33:23):
but only the big data breaches get reported in the news.
Carnival Cruz's database was hacked last month five million plus
customers look.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Bottom line is cyber threats are everywhere.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
That's why you want to have Lifelocks online identity theft protection.

The Kevin's of America unite, standing up for their honor
after some called it into question. I suppose by saying
that a male Karen is a Kevin Kevin in Waynesville,
North Carolina, you are first up at bats or what
say you?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
That's me.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
I've been Kevin all my seventy years, and in Gaelic
Kevin means gentle lion, and I don't look like a
male Karen, a heron whatever it.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Is gentle interesting? Are there really any gentle lions? That's
a that's a bit of a kind of an oxymoron?
Is it it in Gaelic? No, I understand, And Gaelic
I think they sometimes they even call that Irish now right,
But I'm just saying like, a, yeah, I've never met
a I've never met a gentle lion before. They generally
(35:12):
are not so gentle. Thank you for calling in, though, Kevin.
Thank you for defending the honor of all Kevin's.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah. I met.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Brady Quinn last night and it took me a minute
to realize. I was like, oh, this is the famous
football man, mister Brady Quinn and his wife who's in Olympia.
They're a lovely couple, and was chatting them a little
bit and I found out that she has a Connie Corso,
and I just thought this was so funny because here
was I was like, Oh, you're dog people. I'm a
(35:43):
dog person. They're like and by the way, they're just
both lovely. I think Brady does Clay's former show on
on iHeart on on sports Radio, and he looks like
like Superman. By the way, the guys, I was like, man,
this guy's squarege always a handsome fellow, lovely wife.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
But we're talking about dogs.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
And I'm like, oh, I've got my dog is Ginger Spice,
and she's so fluffy and sweet and cute, and she's
weighs twenty five pounds and you know, she just sits
on my lap and cuddles my feet. And I was like,
what do you guys have, Like we have a kanaate corso.
I was like, whoa, I don't know how many of
you have a kanate corso. But those things, it's like
a pit bull and a mastiff got together to create
(36:25):
a dog that could bring about the end of days
or something, and those things are beasts. So anyway, I
lost in the dog showdown there for sure, But Ginger
Spice is cuddly and sweet. I'll be back with you tomorrow.
I'll be home in Miami. We have some great guests
lined up. We have a lot to talk about. Hopefully
we'll have a Trump deal, and maybe maybe I'll give
(36:47):
you my pregame analysis for the Knicks in six
