Speaker 1 (00:00):
Third hour play in Vock gets going right now. Donald
Trump making his triumphant return, probably the best return ever
to Capitol Hill. Today. He met with House and Senate Republicans.
So this is the first time he has been at
our at the Capitol, I should say since January sixth
(00:23):
of twenty twenty one. So there's some some symbolism here.
Trump is meeting with, like I said, GOP legislators and
he a packed room of House Republicans saying happy birthday
to Trump in the private breakfast meeting at up waits.
(00:44):
Is it his birthday? This is from PBS. Is it
Trump's birthday today?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's close to it. I know because he said it
at rally recently that at some point you get to
an age where you'd prefer that they did it have
to sing happy.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh it's tomorrow. Okay, it's tomorrow. So that that's close
enough that they're singing for I figured, happy birthday. That's
frum probably the best birthday here. He is speaking at
the Capitol today. This is cut twenty seven talking about
the GOP.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We have great unity, we have great common sense. A
lot of very smart people in this room, and a
lot of people that love our country. They love our
country beyond just about all else, and the only thing
that maybe supersedes it is their family and maybe their
faith in certain instances. And that's very nice. But they
want this country to be great again, and we're going
to make it great again. And so I just want
(01:30):
to thank the Republican Senate, and I want to thank
also the House. We met, as you know, with the
full house Republican House today and we had a tremendous
meeting with them also, and there's great unity, very similar,
and there's one thing in common. We want to make
America great again. We want to make our country great again.
We're a nation that's in decline. We're declining nation. We're
(01:50):
a nation that is being left at all.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Over the world.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
We have a leader that's being left at all over
the world.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
If he could make America great again, it would be
very nice.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I agree, it is pretty remarkable. I'm looking at the
latest numbers. Yesterday evening buck poll came out of Maine
which showed Trump is basically dead even in Maine. He
lost the state of Maine by nine points or so.
Polls out from Virginia showing dead even He lost Virginia
(02:24):
by ten. Right now, there is not a single state
that Trump won in twenty twenty that Biden looks like
he's going to be able to flip in twenty twenty four.
Closest one that Trump won is North Carolina, but Trump
has been up big in North Carolina throughout. So we're
fighting the battle on Biden terrain right now. I got
(02:48):
nervous about this.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I gotta ask, you know, Okay, So you know when
someone comes to me and they say, hey, you know,
will you are you interested in investing in the following
thing that I'm doing? Right? Which happens to me a
little bit these days, probably happens to you a lot.
One of the things I always like to ask is
what are the things that could happen that make this
thing go bad? So it's that you and I have
(03:12):
to have the this didn't work, I lost all of
your money. Conversation, Yes, and I will never accept there's
nothing because of course there's something right of time, there
has to be otherwise there's no risk involved. So what
are the risks? Effectively? You tend to view the polling
and I think just your mindset about things Trump related
(03:33):
at this point, you have optimism.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I know you're not to be fair to you because
this is a criticism of my wife. For me, I
view all of life in a very optimistic prism. So
to your point, on investing, on starting new companies, on
all sorts of things, and you experienced this sum with
Crockett Coffee, like I don't. It's not that I don't
know that there are downsides, it's just I think I
(03:58):
work through them. But I tend to be on the
optimistic side of life. So that's not just on the elections.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
But yes, yes, no, So this is this is your way,
I think because the CIA got deep in my brain.
The CIA. You're basically just always figuring out like how
is this going to go totally boobar and be on
the front page of the Washington Post, Like that's that's
the thinking of the sion.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
This is My wife would say that I that she's
not pessimistic, that she's just realistic, and I'm always optimistic.
So we have this conversation regularly.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So how do you see things go bad and Biden wins?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You know what I mean? What's yes?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Because because right now I can't trust that Trump is
winning in every swing state and he's ahead even in
some previously uh sort of blue purple states, and you
mentioned made I can't trust it because I don't want
to go through that. You know that, just kicking the
face of Oh my gosh, we didn't see this coming
(04:54):
on election day. You've got to be kidding me. What
worries you? What could change this around in your mind?
Since you tend to view this very optimistically.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
What worries me is I think Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania
are all going to go the same way as they
did in twenty sixteen and as they did in twenty twenty,
and I think Biden could pull the sort of the
card that he needs. If you're a poker player, you
don't have a great hand and you're losing, but you
(05:25):
get the exact right hand. I think the math of
Biden winning two seventy to two sixty eight is very real.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
That would mean Trump flips Georgia, Trump flips Arizona, and
Trump flips Nevada, but he loses those big ten states
of Pennsylvania, Michigan, uh uh in Wisconsin. If you told
me right now, Trump is gonna win one of those
(05:55):
three states, if you guaranteed it to me, I would say,
Trump is one hundred percent going to be the next
president of the United States. But if you told me
Biden is gonna win Pennsylvania, I would think to myself,
Biden may get that narrow win that he needs and
he could be president two seventy to two sixty eight.
(06:17):
That's what worries me.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And let's be honest, it would be somewhat similar to
Trump Trump. Trump ran the obstacle course in twenty sixteen perfectly.
He didn't blow out Hillary, as we know in terms
of the I mean popular vote, that's not the contest
you run. But Hillary was millions ahead. But he ran
the obstacle course perfectly, right. He did exactly what he
needed to win that game. And you're what you're saying
(06:40):
is effectively Biden pulls the Trump right now, Trump is
the one his way ahead, but Biden might be able
to just squeak it out in just the states, all right.
By the way, I co signed that, I do think
that that's the risk here as well, is that all
the noise and all the all the debates and the
trials and everything else, who has better ground game in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.
(07:02):
Democrats are Republicans, who micro targets, who early votes, who
ballot harvest, who does those things better in those places?
Who plays dirty tricks and runs just the most ds
ads imaginable in key markets at the last second, and
we'll just say anything. I think that that could be
how this goes bad for Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's why I loved having Senator Haggerty on yesterday because
and I think he said this on the air, but
he would not mind if I said it. As soon
as the results came in. On twenty twenty two, I
was on the phone with him. He is a data guy,
and he worked his ass off on twenty twenty two.
Senator Haggerty from Tennessee, traveling all over the country trying
(07:45):
to get a Senate majority, just fighting battles everywhere, and
he's you know, some people get upset. I like data
guys because they say okay, and gals they say, okay,
we low what did we do wrong? What could we
do better? Instead of pouting, let's go into the data.
(08:06):
It's like, if you're a sports person, you'll lose a game.
You have to go back and look at the film.
What did we not execute on? Don't focus on what
people did to you as much as focus on what
you can control. That's the way I try to try
to live my life, is, hey, what can I control?
He went back and looked at the data, and he said,
(08:27):
they got a better mousetrap than we do. They are
better at delivering their voters. So we can either sit
around and complain, or we can try to rebuild our
game plan using what they did.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
A perfect example of this. You know, Katie Hobbs versus
Carrie Lake for Governor of Arizona. Carrie Lake is I mean,
I know some.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
People are telegenic, literally a television star in Arizona.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
She does you very very media savvy, gets a good
presence on TV, compelling speaker, you know, whether you like
her policies or not, just put aside. If we're just
looking at this like tail of the tape, like two Boxers,
it's got all this very telegenic media percent everything else.
Katie Hobbs, I can't even I don't even know what
she looks like now, like I have to sort of
think about it. I'm like, I think she kind of
wears glasses, a little gray hair to her shoulders. I
(09:18):
don't even really know what she looks like because she
didn't care. She didn't show up the debate, she didn't
try to get on national TV. She just knew how
to get the votes she needed in Arizona to win,
and she knew it before she got them, that that's
what's gonna happen. She was like, yeah, I'm not even
worried about this, sorry, and ran almost like a campaign
(09:41):
on autopilot. And that's what you know. And now she's
a governor of Arizona. That is the Democrat way of
warfare and politics. Now it's not stirring speeches and great ideas.
It's community organizers mobilizing the street mob on the day
they need them or in the weeks they need them
early voting to just squeak out the wins, and that's
(10:03):
all they care about it.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's one of my favorite things in politics is applying
a analytics term from sports, really baseball win over replacement value.
And a lot of you guys out there in finance
know what I'm talking about because you try to analyze companies.
But basically, the way to think about it is how
much is the best shortstop in Major League Baseball worth
(10:27):
to your team versus a generic average guy in that position,
and you can do it everywhere you sell cars. You
can be like, hey, what's the value of the best
car salesman on the lot compared to the average show
that you're going to plug into that spot. Democrats right
now in twenty twenty two, and I think in twenty
(10:50):
twenty are better at voting for generic Democrat candidates than
Republicans are. And I'm not sure that's always historically been
the case. Like Katie Hobbs a perfect example of this
mousey uh and and these are adjectives that I'm going
to apply to her. Not dynamic, not particularly skilled at
(11:13):
driving interest, enthusiasm, or attention. Generic d John Fetterman couldn't
even speak. They built a better mouse trap to get
their voters out than Republicans have.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And this is this is one of the reasons why.
And I've seen this particularly with friends that you and
I know, Clay, who come from maybe a media background
of some sort, spent some time doing some Fox and
maybe have a podcast or whatever, and they get into
running in a congressional race, let's say, and you're like
this person smart and dynamic, and and they lose to
(11:52):
somebody who you know has all the charm of like
Uncle Fester from the Adams family, or yeah, like wait
what that? I even know who that Congress guy or
Congress gal is and they lose by you know, fifteen
or twenty points. You go, how did that happen? Well,
that person is a four or seven term or whatever
in machine politician. That's right. They know who's gonna show up.
(12:16):
They know how to buy off the people that are
gonna show up. They know which unions they have to
kiss up to and give little goodies to, and they
know who the best person to run dishonest attack ads
at the right time is, and boom, that's how they win.
It's not they've got great ideas and are so inspiring,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, that's why it's frustrating, because the best person oftentimes
does not win. It's the person who runs the best campaign. Yes,
and those are very different things. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely the case.
So that's I think. I think that's a learning point
or a recognition that Trump has had something of a
(12:55):
eureka moment after twenty twenty. And I know, don't you know,
we all know about all the other stuff too, But
doesn't matter now. What matters now is knowing what you
learned about twenty twenty and using it now to win
in twenty twenty four. We can't undo the past three years,
but we can change or at least, you know, win
(13:16):
for the next four team. At my Pillow talking about winning,
they're putting their best selling products for you forward now

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We got
a couple of you went away in on topics, we've
been discussing Kelly and Akron. We were talking about Leah
Thomas Man pretending to be a woman, not being allowed
to swim, and the fact that certainly once males go
through puberty there is a substantial physical advantage. But you
say you've researched even pre puberty the difference between boys
(15:02):
and girls. I was just kind of curious what the
data says on that.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Well, I did my pre PhD Master thesis on the
pre pubifferent effect of strength training on boys, and the
theory was that because they did not have testosterone yet,
that they could not gain any you know, additional strength
(15:32):
from strength training in that conveying weightlifting and research back
then and that's in the nineteen eighties showed that no,
that was false. They still could But I just wanted
to make another comment because I swam at Snafford in
the nineteen seventies and a parallel I want to make
(15:52):
about politics in sports. So in nineteen seventy six, if
you can picture the Olympics in Montreal with the East
German women showed up looking like men in obliterated the
women's Olympic team. And I had a couple of teammates
at Stamford who are on that team, and you know,
(16:12):
the alarms were set by the world to say this
is not right. So drug testing was put into place
after that point to make sure that this didn't happen again.
But here we are again. I had been waiting for
whether or not Leah Thomas and others were going to
be allowed to compete in the Olympics at the discretion
(16:35):
of the IOC based on identifying as women. And I
guess my thought is we and I'm glad that Leah
is not, But I think that they need to do
if we've done these and still in the Olympics, there's
a lot of drug testing that goes on and everything.
(16:56):
I think there needs to be genetic drug testing that
we say that boys born at birth, because as I said,
my research showed that it doesn't matter pre puberty. Why
are boys records at least in swimming as all I
can speak to. Why are they still faster at the
eight and under and ten and under age? It doesn't
(17:18):
dramatically shift at twelve and fourteen years of age. They're
just stronger. So therefore, at no point should males be competing.
I don't care if they're pre pubescent or not. They
should not be competing against females.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Oh, it's interesting. I appreciate your call. I don't know
very much about swimming, but it is interesting that doping
is condemned completely as cheating. Being a man pretending to
be a woman is not condemned. This cheating in the
NCAA right now, we've.
Speaker 1 (17:53):

thing that is certainly still in the mix and the
conversation about how things are going to go in this
(19:01):
election cycle, and just the trajectory the direction of the
country right now. Is this ongoing pro Palestinian pro Hamas
left wing kind of mini riot situation. The protests, you know,
doing all kinds of crazy stuff. And the latest this
(19:24):
happened in New York City. You had and this is
all reported pretty extensively in the New York Post. The
Brooklyn Museum director and Jewish board members homes vandalized with
anti Semitic graffiti, calling her I thought, this is so
interesting because it goes right to what we say, Clay
(19:46):
they wrote, and Pastor Nak they splattered blood all over
her front steps and you know, all over her house
and Brooklyn Museum white supremacist zionistice. Notice that they say
exactly what we've told you has been at the heart
(20:07):
of this all along. The whole pro Hamas thing is
for the left, an extension of BLM, which is really
racial Marxism. They view Israel as a white supremacist power
and as this is as a racial conflict first and foremost.
(20:28):
We've said this, and now they're even writing things like
white supremacist Zionist. And you could try to sit down
with these idiot protesters and explain to them that there
are the Ashkenazi Jews, who are Jews of usually Eastern
but European origin. There are Sephardic Jews who are Spanish
and Mediterranean Basin origin. There are Mizrahi Jews who are
(20:51):
Jews from the Mid East region. I mean, there are
Jews that were expelled in the twentieth century from a
whole range of Muslim majority countries who have come to Israel.
So there a lot. And then there's Ethiopian Jews we've
discussed before. Definitely not white, so they don't even care
(21:12):
about all of those complexities. They still view them clay
as anyone who is associated with I guess you could
say the you know, the Jewish. I don't know, it's
just Jewish museum. This isn't even really political, right, But
anyone who's a prominent Jewish American who's supportive of Israel
in this can be targeted as being a white supremacist.
(21:35):
I mean there are brothers. There are red haired, blue
eyed Palestinians. I've met them, I've talked to them, I've
been in the West Bank. Like this is a thing
that exists too, But put that aside.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, and this, to me, we were talking about the
thing that makes me nervous. And as we sit here,
whatever it is, four and a half months from the
actual election day, Trump has got a lot of routes
to potentially being elected president. He could pull off a
huge upset in Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, a
(22:07):
state like that, or New York or New Jersey certainly,
which would just slam the door. Biden has one route,
and right now, if you look at the map for him,
he's not gonna flip North Carolina, which was the closest
state that Trump won. Texas and Florida aren't in play.
Those are gonna be comfortable Trump wins. They have to
(22:31):
win in the Midwest. And if you look at everything
that Joe Biden is doing, it's basically a campaign to
make sure he wins Michigan. My concern is if you've
got a billion dollars, which is probably what Joe Biden's
gonna end up spend having to spend, and you only
have one way to win. They're gonna pump three hundred
(22:55):
million dollars into Michigan. They're gonna pump three hundred million
dollars into Pennsylvania and they're gonna pump three hundred million
dollars into Wisconsin, and they're gonna find a way to
try to win those states, and then they're gonna win. Unfortunately,
based on the polling data right now, those of you
listening to us in Nebraska, they're gonna win Omaha. It
(23:15):
appears as they did in twenty sixteen. And if that
math happens Biden gets elected president to seventy to two
sixty eight, I think again, maybe it's gonna change. Maybe
some of the states are gonna be more receptive to
Biden four and a half months from now than they
are right now. I don't think so. Sometimes only having
(23:40):
one way to win makes it way easier to win
because you just say, okay, this is like Trump right now.
They can be looking. They can say, hey, we can
make a run at Minnesota. We can make a run
at New Jersey, or we can make a run at
Virginia or Maine or New Hampshire. They can put a
lot of chips on the board and hope that some
of these pay off. Biden doesn't have that option right now.
(24:04):
He's going to spend a billion dollars on the big
ten states. And if you pay attention to the way
that he's addressing Israel and uh and and Palestine. Everything
is about winning the state of Michigan. He's basically running
a governor's race. And I'm afraid that if they pour
(24:26):
enough money in there, they're going to be able to
convince enough people that they can win a tiny race.
So you asked, I think it's a good question. I
think right now, sitting four and a half months out,
that's what the Biden team sees. They see the board,
they know the data, they're gonna lie. They're gonna say, oh,
we're gonna win North Carolina. We're gonna pay attention to
(24:46):
where they spend money. They're gonna spend three hundred million dollars. Yeah,
I bet in each of them watch their dollars. Is
a good way to approach this. Where are they buying ads? Now?
Now what and there's some positive look. You're gonna make
them have to spend money in Virginia and maybe you
make them have to spend money in Minnesota and states
(25:07):
that should be comfortably in their camp. That's money that
you take away from them being able to spend in
the big ten. But I think they're gonna have enough money,
and that money is going to pour into the big
ten states. That's their pathway. So we can sit here
four and a half months out and we can talk
about a lot of different permutations, a lot of different ways.
Trump could win a comfortable election. Biden can't. He's going
(25:32):
to have to win run the table on those big
ten states. And if you only have one way to win,
how nasty are you going to be to try to
get that done. I think you're seeing it today in
the way that they're responding to what Trump said about Milwaukee.
Trump said, Milwaukee's a dangerous place to where the RNC
is going to be set up. We're going to be
(25:53):
up there for a full week, and they're trying to
turn it into Trump said Milwaukee is the worst city
that's ever existed in a American history because it's a
swinging state and a swing city.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Don't worry. I'll be there to protect Clay and keep
him out of trouble.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
So I don't want to throw him under I don't
want to throw him under the bus. I would hate
to do that, but I'm definitely going to throw him
under the bus. Jesse Kelly, our friend has been complaining
about the fact that I have us all in Milwaukee
for the whole week. Oh, Jesse's been saying you yeah.
I think we may have said this on the air before,
(26:27):
so but but we may have to get him on
to defend uh, to defend his attacks. I wanted us
to be there in Milwaukee, in the summer, beautiful city
that it is. We sold out the paps theater. I
love is at Milwaukeeans. I love all of you Milwaukeeans.
And if that's the wrong word, you got.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
To remember he's a Texan, So you might think, why
would a Texan have anything against Milwaukee, But really I
believe he's from Montana and as we know, sometimes that
kind of regional rivalry Canaan that.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
It's actually worse than that buck. He's an Ohio State fan.
He hates people from Wisconsin because he's afraid that the
Badgers every now and then are going to take down
his Buckeye. So I hate to blast Jesse Kelly like this,
But in addition to seventy five dollars shots, I'm a
man of the people. I wanted to be there. I
wanted to be among you. Jesse Kelly turning up his nose,
(27:22):
turning up his nose at the fine people of Milwaukee,
especially Milwaukee in the summer. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't want to be any all right, we have to,
you know what, We're gonna have to invite Jesse on
tomorrow to answer these scurreless charges on the air clay.
We cannot we cannot have you calling Jesse out throwing
him under the bus. It's not easy because he's like
nine feet tall, so you have to really push.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
A real obstacle to the bus. We're throwing him under
the bus. We're creating a major major.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Is more damage to the bus than you do to him,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I want to tell you, by the way, in addition
to loving Milwaukee, I love these guys tunnel the towers.
They do incredible work. Though Frank Siller went on an
OutKick show recently and came after my golf game. Deserved
a tax on my golf game. One week from today,
I'm playing in the live pro am, and I am
not optimistic that I'm going to perform at a high level.
(28:15):
Just say that, if you're going to be out there
at the live pro am, maybe taking a couple of
steps back on my t shots, but I love everything
that Frank Siller does. I'm gonna be up in October
at his Big Golf charity event helping raise money. Buck
and I have both donated to this organization. It's fabulous.
Tunnel the Towers Foundation are honoring hero first responders and
(28:36):
service members who serve our communities and our country. Heroes
like Buffalo firefighter Jason Arnau and his family. Arnault was
killed while protecting his community battling warehouse fire. He left
behind his wife and young daughter in their absolute darkest hour.
Tunnel to Towers provided Arnaut's wife and daughter with a
mortgage free home. The foundation lifted a financial burden, enabling
(29:00):
them to stay in the home where they made memories
with their father, with their dad, with their hero. Join
Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good and
support the families of falling first responders like Jason Arno,
gold Star families with young kids, severely injured service members,
homeless veterans. Join us in donating eleven dollars a month

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Peek out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with
Clay and Buck podcast, a new episode every Sunday. Find
it on the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Joe Biden
has begun to speak now right as the show is ending,
so maybe we'll have some clips from what he says
in Italy tomorrow, but just updating you on that earlier today,
Trump speaking in Washington, d C. It is somewhere around
eight forty five eight point fifty, I guess in Italy
(29:57):
right now, So a late evening for by and we'll
see what he ends up saying there. Buck. I flew
back from DC yesterday because I was up looking at
colleges with my sixteen year old and the Trump Force
one plane landed while we were sitting there at National
Airport in DC, and everybody went running to the windows
(30:18):
to go see this massive seven forty seven I think
basically that Trump has that's retrofitted for him to be
able to fly all over the country and frankly all
over the world. And as I was standing there, I
saw my reflection in the glass. I yes Tuesday when
I was touring schools, and I don't know if people
(30:39):
can tell on video because I've got a headset on
most of the time when we do this show for
our VIPs and even on the social media cclipse you
can't tell. I decided because we had a little bit
of time to kill between college tours. We ate lunch
and there was a barber shop right there, and I
went and I sat down in the barber chair. I
(31:01):
don't know how many times has this happened to you
in your life, but about five minutes into the haircut,
I was like, uh oh, this is not going well
at all.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I will tell you when I lived in Miami, the
city downtown. Now I live in Miami Beach, which really
feels like a different city. It's almost like a Dallas
Fort Worth kind of situation or Minneapolis Saint Paul. You
got to cross the causeway. It's a long causeway. Anyway,
when I was living in downtown, I went in and
this guy, he was a young gentleman, maybe twenty one
(31:31):
years old from Venezuela. He did have face tattoos, like
tattoos on his face, including all over his neck. But
you know, he's very, very friendly, and we're sitting there
and we're talking and he just asks me. He's like,
do you like Donald Trump. Like while he's beginning to
cut my hair. I don't know, maybe he looked at
me and thought, this guy looks like i' mean which
the fair guests like, I think, if you look at me,
you're like, this guy probably likes Donald Trump. I mean,
(31:53):
just I'm self aware, Like I get it right, you know,
this guy probably likes Donald Trump. And you know, plays
rocket sports and war's boat shoes and all true. Yeah,
and uh and and you know he's he's talking to me.
He's got a pretty thick accent. And and then I said, yeah, no,
I like Donald Trump. And I mean, I'm telling you
he he uh like, I said, twenty one year old
guy immigrant from Venezuela, and I showed him a photo
was one of it was one of our photos from
(32:15):
mar A Lago, you know, where you me and standing
with Trump. I showed it to him and he flips out.
He's like this is this is amazing. And he goes
back and he gets his buddies and he wants to
show them the photo with Trump and he's like, oh
my god, you know Trump, and he's like, I love
Trump and we're just happened this great sort of bro
to bro moment, and then the haircut begins, and he
proceeds to start at the back of my skull and
(32:38):
shave like a like he's going to land a crop
duster back there or something. Just shaves a lot all
the way back up the back.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You can see your hair collapse behind you in the mirror, like, yes,
this is going on. Yeah, went went down to whatever
a zero is, like, went down and what he was
going to do, this is very very common in Miami,
was give me like a fade, kind of a bowl cut,
but you know, a fade where it's basically shaved and
then gets longer and longer. It was, Honestly, he's such
(33:05):
a nice gentleman. For me, it was the worst haircut
I've ever had. What happened? You try to adjust it
in the middle or you just let him go. He
liked Trump. He's a namigrun.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
He loves Trump. He's my guy. Like, I can't get
mad at I'm I gave him a big tip, but
not a good haircut.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, So I'm I'm like five minutes in and I
can just see it's like the guy's got a weed
whacker on me and there's just hair like flying a
bad haircut whirs Town.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
That's on you. That's like getting a bad lobster roll
in Nantucket. Man, I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I thought I was in a good hair I'm usually
busy in the middle part of the day. I don't
get haircuts, and so I had time because I wasn't
on the show Tuesday, I had lunch with my sixteen
year old son, you know, getting ready for uh, like
I have to add son in there. I had the
lunch with my sixteen year old you know, sixteen year
old son. Go in there, sitting there and my hair
(33:56):
is just flying off, like in every direction.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
And then off your headphones. No one else do. This
is why you got to become a VIP at claimbuck
dot com. You can see the front the front.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Because that's the question I was going to ask you.
I recognize that I'm in the middle of just getting obliterated,
and I'm just like, take a ton of it off
and then but the problem is he has left. I
guess this is like a popular haircut for men now,
maybe boys more than men. I have like a puffy,
additional unnecessary crop of hair on top of my head
(34:31):
and basically a buzz everywhere else. Have you seen like
this pompadoor that guys wear. I think he saw it.
It looks ridiculous, So you're going, I mean, it's just
a buzz. It's a buzz basically everywhere, except I look
like I have a comb over on top of my
head like a bald man would. Who's trying to pretend that, you.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Know, this is this is a style? This is that's
right of that.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
It's it's a little similar to what they do here
in my Miami. Actually what they do Miami is more
extreme version of it. But yeah, that's the uh you know,
it's like what is that even called? I don't know
what it's called. I just know that, like, uh, this
is a this is a common hairstyle. There was a
there was a band in one of those sort of
like pop bluegrass bands where they all had this haircut.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, it's like a pompadour. I don't even know what
you would call it. But the guy who's given me
the haircut as it's all going going bad, and I'm
just like all right, just to pull out the two
guard just basically like give me a buzz. I thought
I was going to get a full buzz instead, he
leaves it on top. He says, oh, no, this looks good.
This is amazing haircut. I said, are you sure or
you know? And then and then he said, well, I
(35:40):
think people will like it. And I don't want my
haircut guy to at the end of the car at
the end of the haircut be saying well, I think
people will like it. And so it's it's it's gonna
take a while. I really think I'm just gonna go in,
maybe get a buzz. I'm just preparing you that I
might just get all the hair take.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
You got kind of a faith it's kind of have
a fade slash. It's like a pompadoor fade is what
you got.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, And I was like halfway through it, I was like,
this is gonna be a bad bowl cut. I do
not want I just I just tried to prevent the worst.
I was like, I do not want to bowl cut
anything but a bowl cut. And so instead I got
this like weird, big glop of hair on top of
my head. Nowhere else do I have hair, I'll.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Tell you real quick. When I was in Iraq, a
couple of the guys, some of the paramilitaries, like you know,
former Seal, former Delta guys. They were like, they were like,
they called me Junior. They're like, Junior, we're gonna shave
your head. You gotta shave your head. And I literally
looked them like, guys, you understand you can't shave my head.
You will be horrified at how big my head is
if there's no hair to sort of make it seem
(36:40):
more normal. And to their credit, they're like, yeah, we're
kind of scared. We're not gonna shift your head. I
needed them to protect me.
Third hour play in Vock gets going right now. Donald
Trump making his triumphant return, probably the best return ever
to Capitol Hill. Today. He met with House and Senate Republicans.
So this is the first time he has been at
our at the Capitol, I should say since January sixth
(00:23):
of twenty twenty one. So there's some some symbolism here.
Trump is meeting with, like I said, GOP legislators and
he a packed room of House Republicans saying happy birthday
to Trump in the private breakfast meeting at up waits.
(00:44):
Is it his birthday? This is from PBS. Is it
Trump's birthday today?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's close to it. I know because he said it
at rally recently that at some point you get to
an age where you'd prefer that they did it have
to sing happy.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh it's tomorrow. Okay, it's tomorrow. So that that's close
enough that they're singing for I figured, happy birthday. That's
frum probably the best birthday here. He is speaking at
the Capitol today. This is cut twenty seven talking about
the GOP.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We have great unity, we have great common sense. A
lot of very smart people in this room, and a
lot of people that love our country. They love our
country beyond just about all else, and the only thing
that maybe supersedes it is their family and maybe their
faith in certain instances. And that's very nice. But they
want this country to be great again, and we're going
to make it great again. And so I just want
(01:30):
to thank the Republican Senate, and I want to thank
also the House. We met, as you know, with the
full house Republican House today and we had a tremendous
meeting with them also, and there's great unity, very similar,
and there's one thing in common. We want to make
America great again. We want to make our country great again.
We're a nation that's in decline. We're declining nation. We're
(01:50):
a nation that is being left at all.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Over the world.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
We have a leader that's being left at all over
the world.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
If he could make America great again, it would be
very nice.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I agree, it is pretty remarkable. I'm looking at the
latest numbers. Yesterday evening buck poll came out of Maine
which showed Trump is basically dead even in Maine. He
lost the state of Maine by nine points or so.
Polls out from Virginia showing dead even He lost Virginia
(02:24):
by ten. Right now, there is not a single state
that Trump won in twenty twenty that Biden looks like
he's going to be able to flip in twenty twenty four.
Closest one that Trump won is North Carolina, but Trump
has been up big in North Carolina throughout. So we're
fighting the battle on Biden terrain right now. I got
(02:48):
nervous about this.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I gotta ask, you know, Okay, So you know when
someone comes to me and they say, hey, you know,
will you are you interested in investing in the following
thing that I'm doing? Right? Which happens to me a
little bit these days, probably happens to you a lot.
One of the things I always like to ask is
what are the things that could happen that make this
thing go bad? So it's that you and I have
(03:12):
to have the this didn't work, I lost all of
your money. Conversation, Yes, and I will never accept there's
nothing because of course there's something right of time, there
has to be otherwise there's no risk involved. So what
are the risks? Effectively? You tend to view the polling
and I think just your mindset about things Trump related
(03:33):
at this point, you have optimism.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I know you're not to be fair to you because
this is a criticism of my wife. For me, I
view all of life in a very optimistic prism. So
to your point, on investing, on starting new companies, on
all sorts of things, and you experienced this sum with
Crockett Coffee, like I don't. It's not that I don't
know that there are downsides, it's just I think I
(03:58):
work through them. But I tend to be on the
optimistic side of life. So that's not just on the elections.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
But yes, yes, no, So this is this is your way,
I think because the CIA got deep in my brain.
The CIA. You're basically just always figuring out like how
is this going to go totally boobar and be on
the front page of the Washington Post, Like that's that's
the thinking of the sion.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
This is My wife would say that I that she's
not pessimistic, that she's just realistic, and I'm always optimistic.
So we have this conversation regularly.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So how do you see things go bad and Biden wins?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You know what I mean? What's yes?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Because because right now I can't trust that Trump is
winning in every swing state and he's ahead even in
some previously uh sort of blue purple states, and you
mentioned made I can't trust it because I don't want
to go through that. You know that, just kicking the
face of Oh my gosh, we didn't see this coming
(04:54):
on election day. You've got to be kidding me. What
worries you? What could change this around in your mind?
Since you tend to view this very optimistically.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
What worries me is I think Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania
are all going to go the same way as they
did in twenty sixteen and as they did in twenty twenty,
and I think Biden could pull the sort of the
card that he needs. If you're a poker player, you
don't have a great hand and you're losing, but you
(05:25):
get the exact right hand. I think the math of
Biden winning two seventy to two sixty eight is very real.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
That would mean Trump flips Georgia, Trump flips Arizona, and
Trump flips Nevada, but he loses those big ten states
of Pennsylvania, Michigan, uh uh in Wisconsin. If you told
me right now, Trump is gonna win one of those
(05:55):
three states, if you guaranteed it to me, I would say,
Trump is one hundred percent going to be the next
president of the United States. But if you told me
Biden is gonna win Pennsylvania, I would think to myself,
Biden may get that narrow win that he needs and
he could be president two seventy to two sixty eight.
(06:17):
That's what worries me.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And let's be honest, it would be somewhat similar to
Trump Trump. Trump ran the obstacle course in twenty sixteen perfectly.
He didn't blow out Hillary, as we know in terms
of the I mean popular vote, that's not the contest
you run. But Hillary was millions ahead. But he ran
the obstacle course perfectly, right. He did exactly what he
needed to win that game. And you're what you're saying
(06:40):
is effectively Biden pulls the Trump right now, Trump is
the one his way ahead, but Biden might be able
to just squeak it out in just the states, all right.
By the way, I co signed that, I do think
that that's the risk here as well, is that all
the noise and all the all the debates and the
trials and everything else, who has better ground game in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.
(07:02):
Democrats are Republicans, who micro targets, who early votes, who
ballot harvest, who does those things better in those places?
Who plays dirty tricks and runs just the most ds
ads imaginable in key markets at the last second, and
we'll just say anything. I think that that could be
how this goes bad for Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's why I loved having Senator Haggerty on yesterday because
and I think he said this on the air, but
he would not mind if I said it. As soon
as the results came in. On twenty twenty two, I
was on the phone with him. He is a data guy,
and he worked his ass off on twenty twenty two.
Senator Haggerty from Tennessee, traveling all over the country trying
(07:45):
to get a Senate majority, just fighting battles everywhere, and
he's you know, some people get upset. I like data
guys because they say okay, and gals they say, okay,
we low what did we do wrong? What could we
do better? Instead of pouting, let's go into the data.
(08:06):
It's like, if you're a sports person, you'll lose a game.
You have to go back and look at the film.
What did we not execute on? Don't focus on what
people did to you as much as focus on what
you can control. That's the way I try to try
to live my life, is, hey, what can I control?
He went back and looked at the data, and he said,
(08:27):
they got a better mousetrap than we do. They are
better at delivering their voters. So we can either sit
around and complain, or we can try to rebuild our
game plan using what they did.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
A perfect example of this. You know, Katie Hobbs versus
Carrie Lake for Governor of Arizona. Carrie Lake is I mean,
I know some.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
People are telegenic, literally a television star in Arizona.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
She does you very very media savvy, gets a good
presence on TV, compelling speaker, you know, whether you like
her policies or not, just put aside. If we're just
looking at this like tail of the tape, like two Boxers,
it's got all this very telegenic media percent everything else.
Katie Hobbs, I can't even I don't even know what
she looks like now, like I have to sort of
think about it. I'm like, I think she kind of
wears glasses, a little gray hair to her shoulders. I
(09:18):
don't even really know what she looks like because she
didn't care. She didn't show up the debate, she didn't
try to get on national TV. She just knew how
to get the votes she needed in Arizona to win,
and she knew it before she got them, that that's
what's gonna happen. She was like, yeah, I'm not even
worried about this, sorry, and ran almost like a campaign
(09:41):
on autopilot. And that's what you know. And now she's
a governor of Arizona. That is the Democrat way of
warfare and politics. Now it's not stirring speeches and great ideas.
It's community organizers mobilizing the street mob on the day
they need them or in the weeks they need them
early voting to just squeak out the wins, and that's
(10:03):
all they care about it.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's one of my favorite things in politics is applying
a analytics term from sports, really baseball win over replacement value.
And a lot of you guys out there in finance
know what I'm talking about because you try to analyze companies.
But basically, the way to think about it is how
much is the best shortstop in Major League Baseball worth
(10:27):
to your team versus a generic average guy in that position,
and you can do it everywhere you sell cars. You
can be like, hey, what's the value of the best
car salesman on the lot compared to the average show
that you're going to plug into that spot. Democrats right
now in twenty twenty two, and I think in twenty
(10:50):
twenty are better at voting for generic Democrat candidates than
Republicans are. And I'm not sure that's always historically been
the case. Like Katie Hobbs a perfect example of this
mousey uh and and these are adjectives that I'm going
to apply to her. Not dynamic, not particularly skilled at
(11:13):
driving interest, enthusiasm, or attention. Generic d John Fetterman couldn't
even speak. They built a better mouse trap to get
their voters out than Republicans have.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And this is this is one of the reasons why.
And I've seen this particularly with friends that you and
I know, Clay, who come from maybe a media background
of some sort, spent some time doing some Fox and
maybe have a podcast or whatever, and they get into
running in a congressional race, let's say, and you're like
this person smart and dynamic, and and they lose to
(11:52):
somebody who you know has all the charm of like
Uncle Fester from the Adams family, or yeah, like wait
what that? I even know who that Congress guy or
Congress gal is and they lose by you know, fifteen
or twenty points. You go, how did that happen? Well,
that person is a four or seven term or whatever
in machine politician. That's right. They know who's gonna show up.
(12:16):
They know how to buy off the people that are
gonna show up. They know which unions they have to
kiss up to and give little goodies to, and they
know who the best person to run dishonest attack ads
at the right time is, and boom, that's how they win.
It's not they've got great ideas and are so inspiring,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, that's why it's frustrating, because the best person oftentimes
does not win. It's the person who runs the best campaign. Yes,
and those are very different things. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely the case.
So that's I think. I think that's a learning point
or a recognition that Trump has had something of a
(12:55):
eureka moment after twenty twenty. And I know, don't you know,
we all know about all the other stuff too, But
doesn't matter now. What matters now is knowing what you
learned about twenty twenty and using it now to win
in twenty twenty four. We can't undo the past three years,
but we can change or at least, you know, win
(13:16):
for the next four team. At my Pillow talking about winning,
they're putting their best selling products for you forward now

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We got
a couple of you went away in on topics, we've
been discussing Kelly and Akron. We were talking about Leah
Thomas Man pretending to be a woman, not being allowed
to swim, and the fact that certainly once males go
through puberty there is a substantial physical advantage. But you
say you've researched even pre puberty the difference between boys
(15:02):
and girls. I was just kind of curious what the
data says on that.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Well, I did my pre PhD Master thesis on the
pre pubifferent effect of strength training on boys, and the
theory was that because they did not have testosterone yet,
that they could not gain any you know, additional strength
(15:32):
from strength training in that conveying weightlifting and research back
then and that's in the nineteen eighties showed that no,
that was false. They still could But I just wanted
to make another comment because I swam at Snafford in
the nineteen seventies and a parallel I want to make
(15:52):
about politics in sports. So in nineteen seventy six, if
you can picture the Olympics in Montreal with the East
German women showed up looking like men in obliterated the
women's Olympic team. And I had a couple of teammates
at Stamford who are on that team, and you know,
(16:12):
the alarms were set by the world to say this
is not right. So drug testing was put into place
after that point to make sure that this didn't happen again.
But here we are again. I had been waiting for
whether or not Leah Thomas and others were going to
be allowed to compete in the Olympics at the discretion
(16:35):
of the IOC based on identifying as women. And I
guess my thought is we and I'm glad that Leah
is not, But I think that they need to do
if we've done these and still in the Olympics, there's
a lot of drug testing that goes on and everything.
(16:56):
I think there needs to be genetic drug testing that
we say that boys born at birth, because as I said,
my research showed that it doesn't matter pre puberty. Why
are boys records at least in swimming as all I
can speak to. Why are they still faster at the
eight and under and ten and under age? It doesn't
(17:18):
dramatically shift at twelve and fourteen years of age. They're
just stronger. So therefore, at no point should males be competing.
I don't care if they're pre pubescent or not. They
should not be competing against females.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Oh, it's interesting. I appreciate your call. I don't know
very much about swimming, but it is interesting that doping
is condemned completely as cheating. Being a man pretending to
be a woman is not condemned. This cheating in the
NCAA right now, we've.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Been talking about how this economy is tough. Right now.
Things are really expensive, so wherever you can find savings
while you're getting great is something you need to pay
attention to. So I want you to go check out

thing that is certainly still in the mix and the
conversation about how things are going to go in this
(19:01):
election cycle, and just the trajectory the direction of the
country right now. Is this ongoing pro Palestinian pro Hamas
left wing kind of mini riot situation. The protests, you know,
doing all kinds of crazy stuff. And the latest this
(19:24):
happened in New York City. You had and this is
all reported pretty extensively in the New York Post. The
Brooklyn Museum director and Jewish board members homes vandalized with
anti Semitic graffiti, calling her I thought, this is so
interesting because it goes right to what we say, Clay
(19:46):
they wrote, and Pastor Nak they splattered blood all over
her front steps and you know, all over her house
and Brooklyn Museum white supremacist zionistice. Notice that they say
exactly what we've told you has been at the heart
(20:07):
of this all along. The whole pro Hamas thing is
for the left, an extension of BLM, which is really
racial Marxism. They view Israel as a white supremacist power
and as this is as a racial conflict first and foremost.
(20:28):
We've said this, and now they're even writing things like
white supremacist Zionist. And you could try to sit down
with these idiot protesters and explain to them that there
are the Ashkenazi Jews, who are Jews of usually Eastern
but European origin. There are Sephardic Jews who are Spanish
and Mediterranean Basin origin. There are Mizrahi Jews who are
(20:51):
Jews from the Mid East region. I mean, there are
Jews that were expelled in the twentieth century from a
whole range of Muslim majority countries who have come to Israel.
So there a lot. And then there's Ethiopian Jews we've
discussed before. Definitely not white, so they don't even care
(21:12):
about all of those complexities. They still view them clay
as anyone who is associated with I guess you could
say the you know, the Jewish. I don't know, it's
just Jewish museum. This isn't even really political, right, But
anyone who's a prominent Jewish American who's supportive of Israel
in this can be targeted as being a white supremacist.
(21:35):
I mean there are brothers. There are red haired, blue
eyed Palestinians. I've met them, I've talked to them, I've
been in the West Bank. Like this is a thing
that exists too, But put that aside.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, and this, to me, we were talking about the
thing that makes me nervous. And as we sit here,
whatever it is, four and a half months from the
actual election day, Trump has got a lot of routes
to potentially being elected president. He could pull off a
huge upset in Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, a
(22:07):
state like that, or New York or New Jersey certainly,
which would just slam the door. Biden has one route,
and right now, if you look at the map for him,
he's not gonna flip North Carolina, which was the closest
state that Trump won. Texas and Florida aren't in play.
Those are gonna be comfortable Trump wins. They have to
(22:31):
win in the Midwest. And if you look at everything
that Joe Biden is doing, it's basically a campaign to
make sure he wins Michigan. My concern is if you've
got a billion dollars, which is probably what Joe Biden's
gonna end up spend having to spend, and you only
have one way to win. They're gonna pump three hundred
(22:55):
million dollars into Michigan. They're gonna pump three hundred million
dollars into Pennsylvania and they're gonna pump three hundred million
dollars into Wisconsin, and they're gonna find a way to
try to win those states, and then they're gonna win. Unfortunately,
based on the polling data right now, those of you
listening to us in Nebraska, they're gonna win Omaha. It
(23:15):
appears as they did in twenty sixteen. And if that
math happens Biden gets elected president to seventy to two
sixty eight, I think again, maybe it's gonna change. Maybe
some of the states are gonna be more receptive to
Biden four and a half months from now than they
are right now. I don't think so. Sometimes only having
(23:40):
one way to win makes it way easier to win
because you just say, okay, this is like Trump right now.
They can be looking. They can say, hey, we can
make a run at Minnesota. We can make a run
at New Jersey, or we can make a run at
Virginia or Maine or New Hampshire. They can put a
lot of chips on the board and hope that some
of these pay off. Biden doesn't have that option right now.
(24:04):
He's going to spend a billion dollars on the big
ten states. And if you pay attention to the way
that he's addressing Israel and uh and and Palestine. Everything
is about winning the state of Michigan. He's basically running
a governor's race. And I'm afraid that if they pour
(24:26):
enough money in there, they're going to be able to
convince enough people that they can win a tiny race.
So you asked, I think it's a good question. I
think right now, sitting four and a half months out,
that's what the Biden team sees. They see the board,
they know the data, they're gonna lie. They're gonna say, oh,
we're gonna win North Carolina. We're gonna pay attention to
(24:46):
where they spend money. They're gonna spend three hundred million dollars. Yeah,
I bet in each of them watch their dollars. Is
a good way to approach this. Where are they buying ads? Now?
Now what and there's some positive look. You're gonna make
them have to spend money in Virginia and maybe you
make them have to spend money in Minnesota and states
(25:07):
that should be comfortably in their camp. That's money that
you take away from them being able to spend in
the big ten. But I think they're gonna have enough money,
and that money is going to pour into the big
ten states. That's their pathway. So we can sit here
four and a half months out and we can talk
about a lot of different permutations, a lot of different ways.
Trump could win a comfortable election. Biden can't. He's going
(25:32):
to have to win run the table on those big
ten states. And if you only have one way to win,
how nasty are you going to be to try to
get that done. I think you're seeing it today in
the way that they're responding to what Trump said about Milwaukee.
Trump said, Milwaukee's a dangerous place to where the RNC
is going to be set up. We're going to be
(25:53):
up there for a full week, and they're trying to
turn it into Trump said Milwaukee is the worst city
that's ever existed in a American history because it's a
swinging state and a swing city.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Don't worry. I'll be there to protect Clay and keep
him out of trouble.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
So I don't want to throw him under I don't
want to throw him under the bus. I would hate
to do that, but I'm definitely going to throw him
under the bus. Jesse Kelly, our friend has been complaining
about the fact that I have us all in Milwaukee
for the whole week. Oh, Jesse's been saying you yeah.
I think we may have said this on the air before,
(26:27):
so but but we may have to get him on
to defend uh, to defend his attacks. I wanted us
to be there in Milwaukee, in the summer, beautiful city
that it is. We sold out the paps theater. I
love is at Milwaukeeans. I love all of you Milwaukeeans.
And if that's the wrong word, you got.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
To remember he's a Texan, So you might think, why
would a Texan have anything against Milwaukee, But really I
believe he's from Montana and as we know, sometimes that
kind of regional rivalry Canaan that.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
It's actually worse than that buck. He's an Ohio State fan.
He hates people from Wisconsin because he's afraid that the
Badgers every now and then are going to take down
his Buckeye. So I hate to blast Jesse Kelly like this,
But in addition to seventy five dollars shots, I'm a
man of the people. I wanted to be there. I
wanted to be among you. Jesse Kelly turning up his nose,
(27:22):
turning up his nose at the fine people of Milwaukee,
especially Milwaukee in the summer. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't want to be any all right, we have to,
you know what, We're gonna have to invite Jesse on
tomorrow to answer these scurreless charges on the air clay.
We cannot we cannot have you calling Jesse out throwing
him under the bus. It's not easy because he's like
nine feet tall, so you have to really push.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
A real obstacle to the bus. We're throwing him under
the bus. We're creating a major major.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Is more damage to the bus than you do to him,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I want to tell you, by the way, in addition
to loving Milwaukee, I love these guys tunnel the towers.
They do incredible work. Though Frank Siller went on an
OutKick show recently and came after my golf game. Deserved
a tax on my golf game. One week from today,
I'm playing in the live pro am, and I am
not optimistic that I'm going to perform at a high level.
(28:15):
Just say that, if you're going to be out there
at the live pro am, maybe taking a couple of
steps back on my t shots, but I love everything
that Frank Siller does. I'm gonna be up in October
at his Big Golf charity event helping raise money. Buck
and I have both donated to this organization. It's fabulous.
Tunnel the Towers Foundation are honoring hero first responders and
(28:36):
service members who serve our communities and our country. Heroes
like Buffalo firefighter Jason Arnau and his family. Arnault was
killed while protecting his community battling warehouse fire. He left
behind his wife and young daughter in their absolute darkest hour.
Tunnel to Towers provided Arnaut's wife and daughter with a
mortgage free home. The foundation lifted a financial burden, enabling
(29:00):
them to stay in the home where they made memories
with their father, with their dad, with their hero. Join
Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good and
support the families of falling first responders like Jason Arno,
gold Star families with young kids, severely injured service members,
homeless veterans. Join us in donating eleven dollars a month
at t twot dot org. That's t the number two
(29:22):
t dot org.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Peek out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with
Clay and Buck podcast, a new episode every Sunday. Find
it on the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Joe Biden
has begun to speak now right as the show is ending,
so maybe we'll have some clips from what he says
in Italy tomorrow, but just updating you on that earlier today,
Trump speaking in Washington, d C. It is somewhere around
eight forty five eight point fifty, I guess in Italy
(29:57):
right now, So a late evening for by and we'll
see what he ends up saying there. Buck. I flew
back from DC yesterday because I was up looking at
colleges with my sixteen year old and the Trump Force
one plane landed while we were sitting there at National
Airport in DC, and everybody went running to the windows
(30:18):
to go see this massive seven forty seven I think
basically that Trump has that's retrofitted for him to be
able to fly all over the country and frankly all
over the world. And as I was standing there, I
saw my reflection in the glass. I yes Tuesday when
I was touring schools, and I don't know if people
(30:39):
can tell on video because I've got a headset on
most of the time when we do this show for
our VIPs and even on the social media cclipse you
can't tell. I decided because we had a little bit
of time to kill between college tours. We ate lunch
and there was a barber shop right there, and I
went and I sat down in the barber chair. I
(31:01):
don't know how many times has this happened to you
in your life, but about five minutes into the haircut,
I was like, uh oh, this is not going well
at all.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I will tell you when I lived in Miami, the
city downtown. Now I live in Miami Beach, which really
feels like a different city. It's almost like a Dallas
Fort Worth kind of situation or Minneapolis Saint Paul. You
got to cross the causeway. It's a long causeway. Anyway,
when I was living in downtown, I went in and
this guy, he was a young gentleman, maybe twenty one
(31:31):
years old from Venezuela. He did have face tattoos, like
tattoos on his face, including all over his neck. But
you know, he's very, very friendly, and we're sitting there
and we're talking and he just asks me. He's like,
do you like Donald Trump. Like while he's beginning to
cut my hair. I don't know, maybe he looked at
me and thought, this guy looks like i' mean which
the fair guests like, I think, if you look at me,
you're like, this guy probably likes Donald Trump. I mean,
(31:53):
just I'm self aware, Like I get it right, you know,
this guy probably likes Donald Trump. And you know, plays
rocket sports and war's boat shoes and all true. Yeah,
and uh and and you know he's he's talking to me.
He's got a pretty thick accent. And and then I said, yeah, no,
I like Donald Trump. And I mean, I'm telling you
he he uh like, I said, twenty one year old
guy immigrant from Venezuela, and I showed him a photo
was one of it was one of our photos from
(32:15):
mar A Lago, you know, where you me and standing
with Trump. I showed it to him and he flips out.
He's like this is this is amazing. And he goes
back and he gets his buddies and he wants to
show them the photo with Trump and he's like, oh
my god, you know Trump, and he's like, I love
Trump and we're just happened this great sort of bro
to bro moment, and then the haircut begins, and he
proceeds to start at the back of my skull and
(32:38):
shave like a like he's going to land a crop
duster back there or something. Just shaves a lot all
the way back up the back.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You can see your hair collapse behind you in the mirror, like, yes,
this is going on. Yeah, went went down to whatever
a zero is, like, went down and what he was
going to do, this is very very common in Miami,
was give me like a fade, kind of a bowl cut,
but you know, a fade where it's basically shaved and
then gets longer and longer. It was, Honestly, he's such
(33:05):
a nice gentleman. For me, it was the worst haircut
I've ever had. What happened? You try to adjust it
in the middle or you just let him go. He
liked Trump. He's a namigrun.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
He loves Trump. He's my guy. Like, I can't get
mad at I'm I gave him a big tip, but
not a good haircut.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, So I'm I'm like five minutes in and I
can just see it's like the guy's got a weed
whacker on me and there's just hair like flying a
bad haircut whirs Town.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
That's on you. That's like getting a bad lobster roll
in Nantucket. Man, I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I thought I was in a good hair I'm usually
busy in the middle part of the day. I don't
get haircuts, and so I had time because I wasn't
on the show Tuesday, I had lunch with my sixteen
year old son, you know, getting ready for uh, like
I have to add son in there. I had the
lunch with my sixteen year old you know, sixteen year
old son. Go in there, sitting there and my hair
(33:56):
is just flying off, like in every direction.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
And then off your headphones. No one else do. This
is why you got to become a VIP at claimbuck
dot com. You can see the front the front.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Because that's the question I was going to ask you.
I recognize that I'm in the middle of just getting obliterated,
and I'm just like, take a ton of it off
and then but the problem is he has left. I
guess this is like a popular haircut for men now,
maybe boys more than men. I have like a puffy,
additional unnecessary crop of hair on top of my head
(34:31):
and basically a buzz everywhere else. Have you seen like
this pompadoor that guys wear. I think he saw it.
It looks ridiculous, So you're going, I mean, it's just
a buzz. It's a buzz basically everywhere, except I look
like I have a comb over on top of my
head like a bald man would. Who's trying to pretend that, you.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Know, this is this is a style? This is that's
right of that.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
It's it's a little similar to what they do here
in my Miami. Actually what they do Miami is more
extreme version of it. But yeah, that's the uh you know,
it's like what is that even called? I don't know
what it's called. I just know that, like, uh, this
is a this is a common hairstyle. There was a
there was a band in one of those sort of
like pop bluegrass bands where they all had this haircut.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, it's like a pompadour. I don't even know what
you would call it. But the guy who's given me
the haircut as it's all going going bad, and I'm
just like all right, just to pull out the two
guard just basically like give me a buzz. I thought
I was going to get a full buzz instead, he
leaves it on top. He says, oh, no, this looks good.
This is amazing haircut. I said, are you sure or
you know? And then and then he said, well, I
(35:40):
think people will like it. And I don't want my
haircut guy to at the end of the car at
the end of the haircut be saying well, I think
people will like it. And so it's it's it's gonna
take a while. I really think I'm just gonna go in,
maybe get a buzz. I'm just preparing you that I
might just get all the hair take.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
You got kind of a faith it's kind of have
a fade slash. It's like a pompadoor fade is what
you got.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, And I was like halfway through it, I was like,
this is gonna be a bad bowl cut. I do
not want I just I just tried to prevent the worst.
I was like, I do not want to bowl cut
anything but a bowl cut. And so instead I got
this like weird, big glop of hair on top of
my head. Nowhere else do I have hair, I'll.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Tell you real quick. When I was in Iraq, a
couple of the guys, some of the paramilitaries, like you know,
former Seal, former Delta guys. They were like, they were like,
they called me Junior. They're like, Junior, we're gonna shave
your head. You gotta shave your head. And I literally
looked them like, guys, you understand you can't shave my head.
You will be horrified at how big my head is
if there's no hair to sort of make it seem
(36:40):
more normal. And to their credit, they're like, yeah, we're
kind of scared. We're not gonna shift your head. I
needed them to protect me.
