Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, third hour, play end.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Buck goes right now, and we've got a lot to
talk about, my friends. The recognition I think dawning on
the Democrat Party that now it's Kamala Harris. Good luck
with that one. Kamala Harris is going to be the Democrats,
the Democrats likely nominee who knows. I know somebody think
(00:23):
it'll still be somebody else, and it could be. And
this is crazy because this is definitely not according to
some well rehearsed plan.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This is a mess.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And I'll prove to you in part that it is
what a mess it is. But let me start with
this Van Jones over at CNN after Biden dropped out.
This was on Sunday, so they went live a lot
of shows, a lot of networks on Sunday Sunday to
get on this right away. And here's Van Jones on
at play two.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
You just cry because this is somebody that you love,
This is somebody that you care about. This is somebody
who was there for This is somebody't be here without him,
and he had to take something from him. I don't
know anything about politics. I just know that I love
this man. I care about this man. It was painful
every day to sit up here and talk about him
like he's just a you know, some problem for the party.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Wait till we get to the convention.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
You're gonna see people crying, standing, screaming, cheering. He may
not get a chance to talk for ten minutes. We
finally get a chance to put our arm around this guy.
He did the right thing for this country, He did
the right thing for this party. All this are going
to be in this situation someday, and I hope that
we take a moment to honor this man and to
love this man.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I love Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I appreciate what he's done, and a lot of people
are heartbroken today. Even if it's the right thing, it's
still just horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Okay, I just this makes me ill. It makes me
ill to see lies like this. You go first, and
then I'll.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Tell you it's just funny because we could sit here.
I'm just telling you, and I don't want to spend
too much of your time. We treat your time as
very precious. Going through all the different Democrat clips of it,
what they're all saying is Joe did the right thing.
He put the country before himself, He did the heroic thing.
He stepped up. They dragged this old son of a gun,
(02:09):
kicking and screaming from this election. They've been trying to
pry his fingers off the levers of power for a
month since that debate, and again and again he has
said no. Again and again he has said I'm staying.
Clay mentioned this before. I thought this is worth noting. Clay.
This is co chair of the Biden campaign, Cedric Richmond
(02:33):
on CBS. You said this on Sunday, CBS faced the
Nation three hours before he dropped out Play nine. Has
Joe Biden lost control of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
No, he's not, and he's hurt those concerns, And I
want to be crystal clear. He's made a decision and
that decision is to accept the nomination and run for reelection.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Win reelection. Three hours, three hours hours before. Yeah. Let
me just say this. Those of us who are sports
fans have seen this story so many times. The coach
is there, he's never leaving. The athletic director has faith
in him, the recruiting class is going great, and then
(03:21):
a couple hours later he gets fired, and everybody immediately
heaps dirt on him. Let me say this, I told
you this would happen. They're gonna try to turn Joe
Biden into George Washington. They're gonna say, never have we
seen a more selfless leader. He acknowledged that the country
is more important than him. Look, those are all lies,
(03:43):
you and I and everyone out there listening. We played
you cuts from twenty twenty two. But we've been saying
four years that he was not up to the physical
and mental capacity of being president right now, much less
to run for four more years. If he truly cared
about the country, he would have come out and said,
I'm not going to stand for reelection. I'm going to
(04:04):
allow an open, transparent primary where every Democrat can put
their hat in the ring, and we're going to let
everybody else fight it out. I'm going to try to
be the best president that I can for the remainder
of my tenure in office. That's what a truly selfless
leader who acknowledged his own failings would have done. That's
(04:25):
what they hinted Biden would do from the moment he
announced he was running in twenty twenty, was that he
was going to be a bridge to the next generation
of leaders. What happened was the red wave didn't occur
like we expected in November of twenty twenty two. I
got that one one hundred percent wrong. A lot of
other people did too, but I own it. I thought
(04:46):
we were going to see a red tsunami. We did not.
Biden took that result as evidence that people liked him
being president and decided that he was going to run again.
If he had stepped out. I think this is important.
TUBUC Democrats would have never picked Kamala Harris. She would
not have won. I really believe that she would not
(05:07):
have won the nomination to be their candidate in twenty
twenty four. Somebody else. I don't know if it would
have been Gavin Newsommer, JB. Pritzker, who knows. Maybe Elizabeth
warrener Bernie Sanders would have freaking thrown their hats in
the ring. I do not believe Kamala Harris would have
been the choice because she's not a good candidate. She's
not a likable person. And I just come back, maybe
(05:29):
I'm wrong on this. I would love to hear from
people out there listening. I really think the fact that
she has no kids of her own, and that she
began her career as the mistress of a powerful man.
I think, even though they won't mention it, democrats feel
(05:50):
a little distasteful about her entire career. I think you
also then lay her on top of it the fact
that she hasn't been a good politician, and that she
reminds a lot of people of the dei head of
whatever company you're in, the person who's walking around saying,
because of racism, we have to x or y, and
(06:12):
everybody out there in the back of their mind is thinking,
the only reason you have your job is because of racism.
You have played racism to such an extent, You played
that fiddle so well that you have allowed yourself to
be highly paid despite having no actual talent yourself. Where
does she come from buck California, which is probably the
(06:36):
most representatively embracing of cosmetic diversity without actual talent of
any state in America. Kamala looks like what Californians think
their leader should look like. Her actual job performance does
not support her continued advancement. She is the president that
(06:58):
the creatives at Netflix would put in the next series
they write, you know about Tom Klay's exactly right, or
something she's did that Kamala Harris is the president that liberals,
you know, fantasize about having running everything. The problem is
all the things that you laid out, or the problems
are the things that.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You've laid out. And and I think that also you
can tell there's something a little bit pathetic about the
way the media is going to now act like they
have loved her all along. She's great, she's I mean,
they'll they'll say absolutely anything. They have no exhibit a
morning Joe Joe Scarborough himself saying two months ago that
(07:40):
I mean that Joe Biden is the sharpest he's ever been.
I mean, you can't say that on TV and not
think that everybody believes you're a lying fool. Mika Brzhinsky, though, Clay,
and this is I feel like she was. I'm not
saying this was directed at you by Mika, but maybe
it was. Mika Razinski very very very annoyed at all
(08:02):
this hate campaign against Harris by the mispronouncing of her name.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
This is ted and.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I've heard from inside Republican circles and right wing media
that the hate campaign against Kamala Harris has begun. You'll
notice they purposefully pronounce her name wrong. They say Kamala.
They do it all the time. It is on purpose,
but the talk is to start that hate campaign and
get it going and start it churning.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, can I just tell you how she says this?
They say Kamala. I was told I was told by
a senior Democrat, black political strategist in the Biden White
House at one point that that is how you pronounce
her name. So someone's gonna have to Kamala. Well, what's
(08:54):
what's what's wrong with Kamala?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I don't know. I don't I don't care what her
name is or how it's anounced. She's done a crap job.
And this is why I come back to the idea
that she is good. I can't think other than being
black and a woman, which is why I think they're
(09:16):
gonna say it's racist and sexist to criticize her at all,
which you're already starting to hear. She's got to run
on everything that Joe Biden did, except she's a way
less likable version of Biden. Tell me how that's a
winning campaign. She's the borders. Are you heard us talk
with the Greg Abbott in hour one? She is incompetent buck.
(09:40):
I was just reading during the break here, she's fired
almost to all of her staff because evidently she's awful
to work for. One thing at least you can say
about Joe Biden is his staffers tend to last a
long time. Now, that doesn't mean he's a great guy,
but you would probably agree just from what we see
(10:03):
in media. When somebody is constantly having to fire the
people that work with them or around them, it's unlikely
that every single person you hire is a disaster. And
if it is that case, then that's on you. But
I'm talking about close personal associate numbers. Yeah, I got
the numbers for you on Kamala Harris. Of forty seven
(10:26):
Harris staffers that were working for her in the first
year of the presidency, only five still work for her. Okay,
from forty seven to five. Yeah, that is if you're
a really likable person, that's almost impossible to do. I'm
talking about staffers. Now. Look, the biggest criticism we've had
(10:49):
of Trump is that he hired a lot of people
that weren't good enough at their jobs in his first term.
I think his hiring will be a lot better in
the second term. How many people have quit and buck
in the three years that we've been on this show.
Have we lost you? Guys can text me in there.
I think every single person has stayed on. Maybe one
(11:11):
or two have left for bigger, better jobs. I'm trying
to think through right now. For Rush, many of the
staff that's with us now was also with Rush. This
is a high stress high and ten twenty john plus
years by the way, long time. Yeah. So if you
are saying I'm saying this on Rush's behalf too, but
(11:33):
also ours. If you are an awful person to work for,
people want to dive out of working for you because
there's lots of other jobs to get. Kamala has performed poorly,
but also the same thing happened on her campaign. She
does not seem to be a very likable person to
work for either, and it also ties into it ties
(11:58):
into some of the other narratives here. It rings true
because I would credit the person. I forget who it is,
but there's this line out there that it's pretty obvious.
I think we've said similar things that Kamala is always
the person giving a book report on a book she
didn't read. You know that she's just used.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
To being pushed forward, and you know, given the high
five and given the promotion and told she's doing a
great job when objectively that is not true, and she's
gotten all the way to the Vice president really vice presidency.
On that issue, Kamala with her staffers, the problem that's
always noted is that she takes it out on staffers
(12:37):
when she's ill prepared, that she takes it out on
staffers when she goes into a meeting and doesn't know anything. Basically,
Kamala doesn't do her homework, and then she takes it
out on people making you know, forty to fifty grand
a year as her you know whatever staffer for the
Vice President's office. I totally see that this doesn't surprise
(12:57):
me at all.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I would also add this, Kamala's got triple privilege. She's black,
she's a woman. She's also pretty now. I know she's
almost sixty now, but she got her start as the
side chick of Willie Brown. The three most powerful privileges
out there, Pretty privilege is number one, I swear, and
(13:24):
I know there's people out there that are gonna get
mad at me about this. The number one thing you
can get away with if you're a good looking woman.
The normal rules of life don't apply to you. Kamala
is a good looking woman. She's also layered it in California,
a DEI obsessed place with being a minority and being
(13:45):
a woman. She hasn't been held to the same standard
that most people in work would. I'm telling you that's
why she has got I think buck that's why she's
gotten away with not doing her homework because early on,
pretty privilege covers up a lot. There's a lot of
men out there that will forgive anything. Some of you
(14:07):
out there have been married for twenty or thirty years
to women that you never even would have ever remotely
been with if they weren't pretty. You know it. The
women know it too. I'm just telling you, Kamala is
among the most privileged people in this country. And a
lot of times with privilege comes entitlement, which means you
(14:29):
don't do your homework. That's the reality, and I think
that's kind of the epitome of her job performance so far,
and I think people feel it, even Democrats who didn't
like her.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm just I'm telling everybody I was, even with all
the things we've seen, I maintained a level of concern
that Biden would somehow be able to with all the
things they do, pull it out against Trump in the end,
I've been concerned. I didn't say it was likely, but
I was. I can't even find I can't find concern
right now with Kamala on that issue. I just think
(14:59):
that they have one of the weakest democrats they could
possibly have. And we'll see, we'll play this out and
we take nothing for granted. But you know, the one
organization that we can count on to look after the
lives of unborn children is Preborn. Their network of clinics
is staffed by dedicated individuals who welcome pregnant women making
a very important decision whether to give life to their
unborn child or not. Preborn's network of clinics provides free
(15:23):
ultrasounds to women with unplanned pregnancies. That experience alone of
meeting their unborn child and immediately bonding with their baby
so often makes all the difference. Your donations to this
nonprofit make that effort possible. In addition to providing support
and resources to mother and child, the team at Preborn
saves the lives of approximately two hundred babies each day
of the week. They accomplish that with your support. Each
(15:44):
ultrasound costs pre Born twenty eight dollars. If you can
donate that amount, or five times that amount, ten times
that amount, that would be two hundred and eighty dollars.
That would be ten ultrasounds. That could be ten little
babies that grow up to have beautiful, amazing lives in
part because of your generosity and the donation that you
could make today. Using your cell phone, dial pound two

Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts. Look, I don't blame Montel Williams for
dating Kamala Harris back in the day. I mean, I
bet Phil Donahue would have liked to date Kamala Harris
back in the day. Maybe Maury Povich. Montel got there first.
She was pretty back then, didn't get married to the
(16:45):
white guy until she was fifty. Doug Elhoff, whatever his
name is, the first gentleman. I'm just telling you a
lot of Kamala Harris's background slid under the cracks because
COVID was going on. Everybody's focused on that. It ain't
a good story when you actually start doing research. If
you're a married woman out there right now and you
(17:08):
have kids, do you like the woman that starts dating
your husband while you're still married to him? Because that's
what Kamala Harris did. I think a lot of people
don't know that. So this idea that you're going to be, Oh,
this is a lovable, really likable woman, no kids, didn't
get married till she's fifty, got her start in politics
(17:29):
banging the much older married man. If Donald Trump allegedly
having sex with a porn star is worthy of eight
years of stories and forty three or whatever the heck
it is, felonies, tell me why Kamala Harris and Willie Brown,
the mayor of San Francisco, is not a very very

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, welcome back, and we have more news breaking here
and bring us to you want to plan buck about
what's going on in the Democrat Party. We have even
gotten into the Secret Service director's testimony today, which maybe
we'll spend a little bit of time on. I can
just tell you she has no answers of any substance
on anything about what happened. We still don't know, unless
(19:12):
maybe I doubt she brought this up. We were on
air with you, so we couldn't watch the whole testimony,
but we're seeing all the clips and the transcripts as
they come out. She's getting just just lamd baseded by
various members of Congress. I mean, it is not a
not a fun day to be up on Capitol Hill,
Nancy Mace actually in particular going after our friend Jim
(19:33):
Jordan not taking her evasions lightly in the Secret Service
directors of Evasions. A lot of people pushing, and I
saw a couple of Democrats who are like, well, isn't
the problem really guns. It's like, oh my god, we're
really gonna do We're really gonna do this, you know,
We're really gonna do the whole Like, let's give a
speech on guns after the president gets shot in the year. Anyway,
there's not a lot to take from that other than
(19:54):
the Secret Service at the top level failed in an
in an almost unbelievable fashion, meaning hard to believe. It's
it's you're incredulous when you see the scale of the
failure and how stupid it was in terms of the
just steps that they missed and everything. It's it's hard
to believe. But this is also jaw dropping, and Clay
(20:18):
just brought that to my attention. Well, first off, Clay,
you told me a second ago. Eric Holder is now
vetting possible VP candidates, right, So for for Harris, Kamala
Harris is she's here's what I think we can definitely say.
She's the Democrat nominee for the next month. Okay, she's
(20:38):
the Democrat nominee for the next month. I think her
numbers are going to get so bad that whatever panic
you've seen in the last month over Biden, it's actually
gonna get worse. And I've I said this before Clay
even had this data point for me. For me, Clay,
So Clay gave me a number, and we're all we're
always firing in the breaks, We're always preparing for the
next segment, just you know. So we're sitting here talking
(20:59):
getting ready to and we're also looking to break news
talking to team in New York. That's a little inside
baseball for you about how the radio show works. And
Clay says, he gives a number and I say, what state?
What state is that poll? For Clay, tell them what
you were actually saying to me.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Forbes Harris poll that just came down. This is from
July nineteenth through July twenty first, so they've been testing
Kamala already. Trump is up nine nine fifty to forty
one with nine percent undecided nationwide. Right now, that's Forbes Harris.
(21:40):
This is not some This is not like, hey, you know,
Republicans are awesome dot com you know polling device. This
is Forbes and Harris, theoretically a middle of the road
polling company. Trump up nine nationwide, and if it's just
head to head and they eliminate everybody else, up six,
(22:02):
but with fifty three percent of the vote. I mean,
these are numbers that Trump has never you know, Trump.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
We've even gotten a sniff of these numbers before.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Friends.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
If these numbers are reflective of where this election actually goes,
it is landslide territory for Trump. Landslide. It is every
swing state, and it's New Jersey in play and maybe
a win, Minnesota and play and maybe a win I
mean it Virginia. It gets super ugly for Democrats. And
(22:38):
keep in mind, there's no way there's gonna be that
much ticket splitting. So the Democrats are going to have
a terrible time in the House and the Senate as well.
And they've already got the Senate, they've almost written off.
I mean, I think they're going to try to if
they can. You know, they'll try to defend a few
of the close ones like Montana, et cetera. But I
think that they realize the chance of them having a
(22:59):
Senate majority is very low, so they're going to go
all in on the House. Clay, there's no way that
Kamala Harris loses by in the just national vote total.
We're not even talking about electoral college swing states. We're
talking about national vote. She's behind with registered voters. I mean, yes,
that's my friends. This is what I'm trying to tell you.
And I know it's hard to believe. I know it's
(23:20):
hard to accept this. They have taken out a a
befuddled and too old Biden and replaced them with the
almost sure defeat of Kamala Harris. I don't know what
else to say. This is how do you make up
those numbers?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
You can't, which is why the skeptic in me. We're
still a month away. Remember this is crazy in the
first place, that Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party and
Joe Biden that they scheduled the DNC for late August.
Now one of the reasons why Republicans went early Friday
(23:56):
the Olympics start. A lot of you are going to
be watching the olymp from Paris over the next couple
of weeks in the summer. That will draw up a
lot of attention, I think. But I just I look
at this, and I think if these numbers stay similar
for the next couple of weeks, and I think they will,
there's gonna be even more of a panic set in
(24:17):
on the Democrats because they're gonna say, oh, my goodness,
do we change horses at midstream and climb on board
a pony that's gonna drown? Because I think basically that's
what they've done to use that analogy that is often used.
And I don't know, at what point do they say, Okay,
(24:40):
we got to rip this band aid off, pull this ripcord,
break the glass on the fire extinguisher. Are they really
gonna let Kamala Harris roll towards an all time defeat
cackling the whole way. A part of me thinks that
they have another plan, that there is someone else out
out there. And I've said this for a while, it's
(25:03):
in Chicago. Is Michelle Obama their victory transition. Remember, Barack Obama,
to my knowledge, is the only major Democrat that has
basically not endorsed Kamala Harris. Right now, I think I
am correct in that. Gavin Newsome, Gretchen Witmer, all of
(25:26):
the usual suspects that are out there, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries,
Chuck Schumer, they've all gotten in line ben Tha Knee
and said Kama is our choice. Obama, to my knowledge,
still has not.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Let's play this out for a second, though, is it
really feasible that they will after all endorsing Biden before
that debate, even if by their silence, but they were
nobody was. No Democrat of any consequence was challenging Joe
Biden going into the debate. And now they will have said,
(26:02):
all right, he's gone, it's Kamala, and they will have it.
They have formally and publicly endorsed Kamala Harris. What the
heck are we supposed to think their endorsement is worth clay?
If in a month they're like, actually we endorse someone else,
you know what I mean, it becomes an absurdity. It
(26:23):
becomes a laughline. And that's why I can't imagine that
it's funny. If I were a Democrat, I swear I
truly feel this way, I would not have panicked about
I mean, the Biden debate was bad, obviously, and I
was worried about, you know, our wager. But although I
couldn't share that publicly, Buck Island was fine. You know,
(26:44):
the beach is fine. We're open for fourth of July,
I said, And maybe there was a big shark. Don't
worry about it. But I was worried to that degree.
But I still thought that Biden they'd be able to
do some things. And you know, he's still like Biden
Pennsylvania formidable, Biden mission and still formidable. If I were
a Democrat now and I think they're gonna wake up
(27:04):
to this reality the next month, I would be like,
oh my god, this is all over. Like I think
what they've done is so much worse for their future.
And I'm and you know, I'm not overly I'm not
somebody who likes to get overly optimistic. I think the
Democrats can pull out any number of things. And you know,
they're they're gonna have the Trump uh sentencing in September,
but maybe they'll even delay that again because who knows
(27:25):
how that's gonna go. Uh, but I mean Kamala Harris.
I'm sorry, this is this has gone to if if
Kamala Harris can beat Joe Biden, I'm sorry, Kamala Harris can.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Be Donald Trump, we go back. What are we doing here, folks?
But I know these people. This is where sports I
really think plays in you make fun of. And it
is true that I automatically trust college football fans like
I'm It's like we have a secret handshake.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
As soon just tell Clay that you like an SEC team,
You'll throw you the keys to his car, tell you
to bring it back whatever you want. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
It is true. Say think by the Big Ten. Everybody's
coming up to me one. They talking about Wisconsin football
the last week. These blue collar Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan people,
big blue Michigan fans. They just you know, I like JD.
Van's the only thing I'll say negative about him is
(28:19):
it is an Ohio state, Buckeye, penn State fans, uh,
Wisconsin Badger fans. These guys and gals are not voting
for Kamala if they weren't already voting for Biden. And
I think there are a lot of people out there,
but buck to your point that just find this whole
(28:42):
thing incredibly sketchy. We're not gonna see the president again today.
I'm sorry. This feels like a really dirty coup. And
if you really liked Biden, you don't want grandpa in
a wheelchair getting pushed down the stairs. I mean that's
basically what they did to one. It's messy, it's ugly,
(29:03):
and it's unseemly. And I just don't think there's people
who are like, oh now, I'm a big Kamala person.
I don't buy it.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
So to be clear, they pressured the eighty year old
president when he had COVID, by their own reporting, to
drop out while he had COVID. COVID is dangerous in
your in your eighties. We've never you know, by the numbers,
it's so is a yeah, bad cold people can get
pneumonia from.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
The clue is super dangerous when you're over eighty, any
illness you get is dangerous.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah. We and I've always thought that about COVID, and
it's true of a lot of different respiratory viruses. So
while Joe Biden has but for him is a dangerous
medical condition. There's some weird tweet and then some and
some letter and we don't see him. And it's it
couldn't wait till he recovered. Think about that for a second.
They couldn't wait until he recovered. I'm sorry, there's something
very very sketchy going on here. I totally agree on that.
(29:52):
And just on your point about uh Biden in these
in these uh or Kamala and Biden in these swing states.
Joe Biden say which you will about him, and we've
said a lot has spent fifty years of his life
pretending to care about working class voters in the rosspelt,
you know, the eastern quarter of the United States. He's
(30:14):
spent fifty years. This whole thing is, oh, you know, Joe,
just like you and I ride the chut chew and
I got my lunch pailing. That's his whole stick for
all of those people. Kamala Harris reminds them of the
efficiency expert consultant hired to come to their company and
either lecture them on the need to use preferred pronouns
or to cut their job tell them sorry, no more
(30:35):
job for you, or sorry, we have to do minority
set aside hiring or sorry, we have some new policy
that's you know, she's not going to resonate with them. Yeah,
I agree, and white working class voters that Democrats need
in these key states. Kamala is a very weak As
I said, Kamala Harris is primary constituency rich Democrat donors
(30:59):
and and you know CNN executives, that's who really likes
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
And I think this is important too. Obama eight, who
appealed to a lot of these voters. Nobody will talk
about this because it's way easier to just say, oh,
everybody's racist. A lot of people in those Midwestern states.
Iowa is a great example, but in the big ten
states voted Obama eight, Obama twelve, Trump sixteen. You don't
(31:27):
vote for a black guy two straight elections and then
go to Trump because you're racist. Okay, that doesn't happen.
So this whole argument, there are millions of people who
had that voting trajectory. Obama had two little girls, was married,
and had a traditional family structure, and that really matters
(31:49):
for a lot of people out there that are just
kind of looking at the president as hey, is this
person the kind of family that we would like to
see this matters. Okay, Kamala doesn't get married till she's fifty.
Is the side chick of a married guy doesn't have
kids of her own married an old white lawyer from
(32:12):
La on a stage. Is Kamala Harris gonna look like
the family that you want to resupport. Look, people come
after Trump all the time. All of his kids love him.
All his grandkids also seem to love him. And to
your point, Buck, all of his kids super successful. They
(32:35):
have had good families of their own. You could attack
Trump on a lot. His kids have all done really
really well. There aren't the Joe Biden Hunter Biden stories
about the Trump kids. If there were, they'd be on
the front page. You all would have heard about him.
That matters. I think that you guys know that Trump
(32:56):
is not saying he's perfect. Certainly he isn't a private life,
but he's actually, it seems to be a pretty good
dad and a pretty good granddad. Cob was not.

or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back in Clay, Travis,
Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
Shall we finish off with some calls here and let
you guys weigh in obviously chaotic weekend on top of
a chaotic three or four weeks here. Ron in Bradenton, Florida, Hey,
(34:54):
how you doing great?
Speaker 7 (34:57):
Hey, God love you guys. Since the Russia's gone, it'd
be very proud of you.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
In order to in order to be uh what's what's
the word not rude to Kamala, you could just you know,
like Victoria, you could call her Vicky, or you could
call her Tory. So just call Kamala COMMI and then
everybody knows her nickname.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Thank you for the It's not a bad nickname for Trump,
Tommy Harris. I mean, in fact, I actually think that's
a great nickname for him to deploy Chris and Grand
Rapids Michigan.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
Hey, guys, thanks for having me on. What I think
is going on with Kamala is that it's not forty Chess,
but I think it is calculated. Having her on the
ticket now gets her out of the way for twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Is how I heard.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
She was always the insurance policy for Biden, probably the
smartest thing he did to keep her behind in there
because she's worse. But this way the Dems can can
change the narrative somehow and get her out of the
way at the same time so they don't have to
deal with her next time around.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Thank you for the call. Buck Ye. I do think
there's some possibility as this plays out that effectively they
throw Kamala to the wolves and end her political career,
so they clean the deck for twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I'm still sitting here telling you replacing Bidom with Kamala
is a stroke of political lunasy for the Democrats. I mean,
apparently they should hire some Republicans to go advise them
because it's not going to work. So now what does
that mean, Clay, I don't know. I'm not taking anything
for granted at this point in terms of what's going
(36:39):
to happen at the convention or anything else but the
good news for US folks this election cycle, the craziest ever,
is still getting a lot crazier.
All right, third hour, play end.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Buck goes right now, and we've got a lot to
talk about, my friends. The recognition I think dawning on
the Democrat Party that now it's Kamala Harris. Good luck
with that one. Kamala Harris is going to be the Democrats,
the Democrats likely nominee who knows. I know somebody think
(00:23):
it'll still be somebody else, and it could be. And
this is crazy because this is definitely not according to
some well rehearsed plan.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This is a mess.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And I'll prove to you in part that it is
what a mess it is. But let me start with
this Van Jones over at CNN after Biden dropped out.
This was on Sunday, so they went live a lot
of shows, a lot of networks on Sunday Sunday to
get on this right away. And here's Van Jones on
at play two.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
You just cry because this is somebody that you love,
This is somebody that you care about. This is somebody
who was there for This is somebody't be here without him,
and he had to take something from him. I don't
know anything about politics. I just know that I love
this man. I care about this man. It was painful
every day to sit up here and talk about him
like he's just a you know, some problem for the party.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Wait till we get to the convention.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
You're gonna see people crying, standing, screaming, cheering. He may
not get a chance to talk for ten minutes. We
finally get a chance to put our arm around this guy.
He did the right thing for this country, He did
the right thing for this party. All this are going
to be in this situation someday, and I hope that
we take a moment to honor this man and to
love this man.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I love Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I appreciate what he's done, and a lot of people
are heartbroken today. Even if it's the right thing, it's
still just horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Okay, I just this makes me ill. It makes me
ill to see lies like this. You go first, and
then I'll.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Tell you it's just funny because we could sit here.
I'm just telling you, and I don't want to spend
too much of your time. We treat your time as
very precious. Going through all the different Democrat clips of it,
what they're all saying is Joe did the right thing.
He put the country before himself, He did the heroic thing.
He stepped up. They dragged this old son of a gun,
(02:09):
kicking and screaming from this election. They've been trying to
pry his fingers off the levers of power for a
month since that debate, and again and again he has
said no. Again and again he has said I'm staying.
Clay mentioned this before. I thought this is worth noting. Clay.
This is co chair of the Biden campaign, Cedric Richmond
(02:33):
on CBS. You said this on Sunday, CBS faced the
Nation three hours before he dropped out Play nine. Has
Joe Biden lost control of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
No, he's not, and he's hurt those concerns, And I
want to be crystal clear. He's made a decision and
that decision is to accept the nomination and run for reelection.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Win reelection. Three hours, three hours hours before. Yeah. Let
me just say this. Those of us who are sports
fans have seen this story so many times. The coach
is there, he's never leaving. The athletic director has faith
in him, the recruiting class is going great, and then
(03:21):
a couple hours later he gets fired, and everybody immediately
heaps dirt on him. Let me say this, I told
you this would happen. They're gonna try to turn Joe
Biden into George Washington. They're gonna say, never have we
seen a more selfless leader. He acknowledged that the country
is more important than him. Look, those are all lies,
(03:43):
you and I and everyone out there listening. We played
you cuts from twenty twenty two. But we've been saying
four years that he was not up to the physical
and mental capacity of being president right now, much less
to run for four more years. If he truly cared
about the country, he would have come out and said,
I'm not going to stand for reelection. I'm going to
(04:04):
allow an open, transparent primary where every Democrat can put
their hat in the ring, and we're going to let
everybody else fight it out. I'm going to try to
be the best president that I can for the remainder
of my tenure in office. That's what a truly selfless
leader who acknowledged his own failings would have done. That's
(04:25):
what they hinted Biden would do from the moment he
announced he was running in twenty twenty, was that he
was going to be a bridge to the next generation
of leaders. What happened was the red wave didn't occur
like we expected in November of twenty twenty two. I
got that one one hundred percent wrong. A lot of
other people did too, but I own it. I thought
(04:46):
we were going to see a red tsunami. We did not.
Biden took that result as evidence that people liked him
being president and decided that he was going to run again.
If he had stepped out. I think this is important.
TUBUC Democrats would have never picked Kamala Harris. She would
not have won. I really believe that she would not
(05:07):
have won the nomination to be their candidate in twenty
twenty four. Somebody else. I don't know if it would
have been Gavin Newsommer, JB. Pritzker, who knows. Maybe Elizabeth
warrener Bernie Sanders would have freaking thrown their hats in
the ring. I do not believe Kamala Harris would have
been the choice because she's not a good candidate. She's
not a likable person. And I just come back, maybe
(05:29):
I'm wrong on this. I would love to hear from
people out there listening. I really think the fact that
she has no kids of her own, and that she
began her career as the mistress of a powerful man.
I think, even though they won't mention it, democrats feel
(05:50):
a little distasteful about her entire career. I think you
also then lay her on top of it the fact
that she hasn't been a good politician, and that she
reminds a lot of people of the dei head of
whatever company you're in, the person who's walking around saying,
because of racism, we have to x or y, and
(06:12):
everybody out there in the back of their mind is thinking,
the only reason you have your job is because of racism.
You have played racism to such an extent, You played
that fiddle so well that you have allowed yourself to
be highly paid despite having no actual talent yourself. Where
does she come from buck California, which is probably the
(06:36):
most representatively embracing of cosmetic diversity without actual talent of
any state in America. Kamala looks like what Californians think
their leader should look like. Her actual job performance does
not support her continued advancement. She is the president that
(06:58):
the creatives at Netflix would put in the next series
they write, you know about Tom Klay's exactly right, or
something she's did that Kamala Harris is the president that liberals,
you know, fantasize about having running everything. The problem is
all the things that you laid out, or the problems
are the things that.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You've laid out. And and I think that also you
can tell there's something a little bit pathetic about the
way the media is going to now act like they
have loved her all along. She's great, she's I mean,
they'll they'll say absolutely anything. They have no exhibit a
morning Joe Joe Scarborough himself saying two months ago that
(07:40):
I mean that Joe Biden is the sharpest he's ever been.
I mean, you can't say that on TV and not
think that everybody believes you're a lying fool. Mika Brzhinsky, though, Clay,
and this is I feel like she was. I'm not
saying this was directed at you by Mika, but maybe
it was. Mika Razinski very very very annoyed at all
(08:02):
this hate campaign against Harris by the mispronouncing of her name.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
This is ted and.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I've heard from inside Republican circles and right wing media
that the hate campaign against Kamala Harris has begun. You'll
notice they purposefully pronounce her name wrong. They say Kamala.
They do it all the time. It is on purpose,
but the talk is to start that hate campaign and
get it going and start it churning.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, can I just tell you how she says this?
They say Kamala. I was told I was told by
a senior Democrat, black political strategist in the Biden White
House at one point that that is how you pronounce
her name. So someone's gonna have to Kamala. Well, what's
(08:54):
what's what's wrong with Kamala?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I don't know. I don't I don't care what her
name is or how it's anounced. She's done a crap job.
And this is why I come back to the idea
that she is good. I can't think other than being
black and a woman, which is why I think they're
(09:16):
gonna say it's racist and sexist to criticize her at all,
which you're already starting to hear. She's got to run
on everything that Joe Biden did, except she's a way
less likable version of Biden. Tell me how that's a
winning campaign. She's the borders. Are you heard us talk
with the Greg Abbott in hour one? She is incompetent buck.
(09:40):
I was just reading during the break here, she's fired
almost to all of her staff because evidently she's awful
to work for. One thing at least you can say
about Joe Biden is his staffers tend to last a
long time. Now, that doesn't mean he's a great guy,
but you would probably agree just from what we see
(10:03):
in media. When somebody is constantly having to fire the
people that work with them or around them, it's unlikely
that every single person you hire is a disaster. And
if it is that case, then that's on you. But
I'm talking about close personal associate numbers. Yeah, I got
the numbers for you on Kamala Harris. Of forty seven
(10:26):
Harris staffers that were working for her in the first
year of the presidency, only five still work for her. Okay,
from forty seven to five. Yeah, that is if you're
a really likable person, that's almost impossible to do. I'm
talking about staffers. Now. Look, the biggest criticism we've had
(10:49):
of Trump is that he hired a lot of people
that weren't good enough at their jobs in his first term.
I think his hiring will be a lot better in
the second term. How many people have quit and buck
in the three years that we've been on this show.
Have we lost you? Guys can text me in there.
I think every single person has stayed on. Maybe one
(11:11):
or two have left for bigger, better jobs. I'm trying
to think through right now. For Rush, many of the
staff that's with us now was also with Rush. This
is a high stress high and ten twenty john plus
years by the way, long time. Yeah. So if you
are saying I'm saying this on Rush's behalf too, but
(11:33):
also ours. If you are an awful person to work for,
people want to dive out of working for you because
there's lots of other jobs to get. Kamala has performed poorly,
but also the same thing happened on her campaign. She
does not seem to be a very likable person to
work for either, and it also ties into it ties
(11:58):
into some of the other narratives here. It rings true
because I would credit the person. I forget who it is,
but there's this line out there that it's pretty obvious.
I think we've said similar things that Kamala is always
the person giving a book report on a book she
didn't read. You know that she's just used.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
To being pushed forward, and you know, given the high
five and given the promotion and told she's doing a
great job when objectively that is not true, and she's
gotten all the way to the Vice president really vice presidency.
On that issue, Kamala with her staffers, the problem that's
always noted is that she takes it out on staffers
(12:37):
when she's ill prepared, that she takes it out on
staffers when she goes into a meeting and doesn't know anything. Basically,
Kamala doesn't do her homework, and then she takes it
out on people making you know, forty to fifty grand
a year as her you know whatever staffer for the
Vice President's office. I totally see that this doesn't surprise
(12:57):
me at all.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I would also add this, Kamala's got triple privilege. She's black,
she's a woman. She's also pretty now. I know she's
almost sixty now, but she got her start as the
side chick of Willie Brown. The three most powerful privileges
out there, Pretty privilege is number one, I swear, and
(13:24):
I know there's people out there that are gonna get
mad at me about this. The number one thing you
can get away with if you're a good looking woman.
The normal rules of life don't apply to you. Kamala
is a good looking woman. She's also layered it in California,
a DEI obsessed place with being a minority and being
(13:45):
a woman. She hasn't been held to the same standard
that most people in work would. I'm telling you that's
why she has got I think buck that's why she's
gotten away with not doing her homework because early on,
pretty privilege covers up a lot. There's a lot of
men out there that will forgive anything. Some of you
(14:07):
out there have been married for twenty or thirty years
to women that you never even would have ever remotely
been with if they weren't pretty. You know it. The
women know it too. I'm just telling you, Kamala is
among the most privileged people in this country. And a
lot of times with privilege comes entitlement, which means you
(14:29):
don't do your homework. That's the reality, and I think
that's kind of the epitome of her job performance so far,
and I think people feel it, even Democrats who didn't
like her.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm just I'm telling everybody I was, even with all
the things we've seen, I maintained a level of concern
that Biden would somehow be able to with all the
things they do, pull it out against Trump in the end,
I've been concerned. I didn't say it was likely, but
I was. I can't even find I can't find concern
right now with Kamala on that issue. I just think
(14:59):
that they have one of the weakest democrats they could
possibly have. And we'll see, we'll play this out and
we take nothing for granted. But you know, the one
organization that we can count on to look after the
lives of unborn children is Preborn. Their network of clinics
is staffed by dedicated individuals who welcome pregnant women making
a very important decision whether to give life to their
unborn child or not. Preborn's network of clinics provides free
(15:23):
ultrasounds to women with unplanned pregnancies. That experience alone of
meeting their unborn child and immediately bonding with their baby
so often makes all the difference. Your donations to this
nonprofit make that effort possible. In addition to providing support
and resources to mother and child, the team at Preborn
saves the lives of approximately two hundred babies each day
of the week. They accomplish that with your support. Each
(15:44):
ultrasound costs pre Born twenty eight dollars. If you can
donate that amount, or five times that amount, ten times
that amount, that would be two hundred and eighty dollars.
That would be ten ultrasounds. That could be ten little
babies that grow up to have beautiful, amazing lives in
part because of your generosity and the donation that you
could make today. Using your cell phone, dial pound two

Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts. Look, I don't blame Montel Williams for
dating Kamala Harris back in the day. I mean, I
bet Phil Donahue would have liked to date Kamala Harris
back in the day. Maybe Maury Povich. Montel got there first.
She was pretty back then, didn't get married to the
(16:45):
white guy until she was fifty. Doug Elhoff, whatever his
name is, the first gentleman. I'm just telling you a
lot of Kamala Harris's background slid under the cracks because
COVID was going on. Everybody's focused on that. It ain't
a good story when you actually start doing research. If
you're a married woman out there right now and you
(17:08):
have kids, do you like the woman that starts dating
your husband while you're still married to him? Because that's
what Kamala Harris did. I think a lot of people
don't know that. So this idea that you're going to be, Oh,
this is a lovable, really likable woman, no kids, didn't
get married till she's fifty, got her start in politics
(17:29):
banging the much older married man. If Donald Trump allegedly
having sex with a porn star is worthy of eight

it is, felonies, tell me why Kamala Harris and Willie Brown,

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, welcome back, and we have more news breaking here
and bring us to you want to plan buck about
what's going on in the Democrat Party. We have even
gotten into the Secret Service director's testimony today, which maybe
we'll spend a little bit of time on. I can
just tell you she has no answers of any substance
on anything about what happened. We still don't know, unless
(19:12):
maybe I doubt she brought this up. We were on
air with you, so we couldn't watch the whole testimony,
but we're seeing all the clips and the transcripts as
they come out. She's getting just just lamd baseded by
various members of Congress. I mean, it is not a
not a fun day to be up on Capitol Hill,
Nancy Mace actually in particular going after our friend Jim
(19:33):
Jordan not taking her evasions lightly in the Secret Service
directors of Evasions. A lot of people pushing, and I
saw a couple of Democrats who are like, well, isn't
the problem really guns. It's like, oh my god, we're
really gonna do We're really gonna do this, you know,
We're really gonna do the whole Like, let's give a
speech on guns after the president gets shot in the year. Anyway,
there's not a lot to take from that other than
(19:54):
the Secret Service at the top level failed in an
in an almost unbelievable fashion, meaning hard to believe. It's
it's you're incredulous when you see the scale of the
failure and how stupid it was in terms of the
just steps that they missed and everything. It's it's hard
to believe. But this is also jaw dropping, and Clay
(20:18):
just brought that to my attention. Well, first off, Clay,
you told me a second ago. Eric Holder is now
vetting possible VP candidates, right, So for for Harris, Kamala
Harris is she's here's what I think we can definitely say.
She's the Democrat nominee for the next month. Okay, she's
(20:38):
the Democrat nominee for the next month. I think her
numbers are going to get so bad that whatever panic
you've seen in the last month over Biden, it's actually
gonna get worse. And I've I said this before Clay
even had this data point for me. For me, Clay,
So Clay gave me a number, and we're all we're
always firing in the breaks, We're always preparing for the
next segment, just you know. So we're sitting here talking
(20:59):
getting ready to and we're also looking to break news
talking to team in New York. That's a little inside
baseball for you about how the radio show works. And
Clay says, he gives a number and I say, what state?
What state is that poll? For Clay, tell them what
you were actually saying to me.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Forbes Harris poll that just came down. This is from
July nineteenth through July twenty first, so they've been testing
Kamala already. Trump is up nine nine fifty to forty
one with nine percent undecided nationwide. Right now, that's Forbes Harris.
(21:40):
This is not some This is not like, hey, you know,
Republicans are awesome dot com you know polling device. This
is Forbes and Harris, theoretically a middle of the road
polling company. Trump up nine nationwide, and if it's just
head to head and they eliminate everybody else, up six,
(22:02):
but with fifty three percent of the vote. I mean,
these are numbers that Trump has never you know, Trump.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
We've even gotten a sniff of these numbers before.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Friends.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
If these numbers are reflective of where this election actually goes,
it is landslide territory for Trump. Landslide. It is every
swing state, and it's New Jersey in play and maybe
a win, Minnesota and play and maybe a win I
mean it Virginia. It gets super ugly for Democrats. And
(22:38):
keep in mind, there's no way there's gonna be that
much ticket splitting. So the Democrats are going to have
a terrible time in the House and the Senate as well.
And they've already got the Senate, they've almost written off.
I mean, I think they're going to try to if
they can. You know, they'll try to defend a few
of the close ones like Montana, et cetera. But I
think that they realize the chance of them having a
(22:59):
Senate majority is very low, so they're going to go
all in on the House. Clay, there's no way that
Kamala Harris loses by in the just national vote total.
We're not even talking about electoral college swing states. We're
talking about national vote. She's behind with registered voters. I mean, yes,
that's my friends. This is what I'm trying to tell you.
And I know it's hard to believe. I know it's
(23:20):
hard to accept this. They have taken out a a
befuddled and too old Biden and replaced them with the
almost sure defeat of Kamala Harris. I don't know what
else to say. This is how do you make up
those numbers?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
You can't, which is why the skeptic in me. We're
still a month away. Remember this is crazy in the
first place, that Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party and
Joe Biden that they scheduled the DNC for late August.
Now one of the reasons why Republicans went early Friday
(23:56):
the Olympics start. A lot of you are going to
be watching the olymp from Paris over the next couple
of weeks in the summer. That will draw up a
lot of attention, I think. But I just I look
at this, and I think if these numbers stay similar
for the next couple of weeks, and I think they will,
there's gonna be even more of a panic set in
(24:17):
on the Democrats because they're gonna say, oh, my goodness,
do we change horses at midstream and climb on board
a pony that's gonna drown? Because I think basically that's
what they've done to use that analogy that is often used.
And I don't know, at what point do they say, Okay,
(24:40):
we got to rip this band aid off, pull this ripcord,
break the glass on the fire extinguisher. Are they really
gonna let Kamala Harris roll towards an all time defeat
cackling the whole way. A part of me thinks that
they have another plan, that there is someone else out
out there. And I've said this for a while, it's
(25:03):
in Chicago. Is Michelle Obama their victory transition. Remember, Barack Obama,
to my knowledge, is the only major Democrat that has
basically not endorsed Kamala Harris. Right now, I think I
am correct in that. Gavin Newsome, Gretchen Witmer, all of
(25:26):
the usual suspects that are out there, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries,
Chuck Schumer, they've all gotten in line ben Tha Knee
and said Kama is our choice. Obama, to my knowledge,
still has not.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Let's play this out for a second, though, is it
really feasible that they will after all endorsing Biden before
that debate, even if by their silence, but they were
nobody was. No Democrat of any consequence was challenging Joe
Biden going into the debate. And now they will have said,
(26:02):
all right, he's gone, it's Kamala, and they will have it.
They have formally and publicly endorsed Kamala Harris. What the
heck are we supposed to think their endorsement is worth clay?
If in a month they're like, actually we endorse someone else,
you know what I mean, it becomes an absurdity. It
(26:23):
becomes a laughline. And that's why I can't imagine that
it's funny. If I were a Democrat, I swear I
truly feel this way, I would not have panicked about
I mean, the Biden debate was bad, obviously, and I
was worried about, you know, our wager. But although I
couldn't share that publicly, Buck Island was fine. You know,
(26:44):
the beach is fine. We're open for fourth of July,
I said, And maybe there was a big shark. Don't
worry about it. But I was worried to that degree.
But I still thought that Biden they'd be able to
do some things. And you know, he's still like Biden
Pennsylvania formidable, Biden mission and still formidable. If I were
a Democrat now and I think they're gonna wake up
(27:04):
to this reality the next month, I would be like,
oh my god, this is all over. Like I think
what they've done is so much worse for their future.
And I'm and you know, I'm not overly I'm not
somebody who likes to get overly optimistic. I think the
Democrats can pull out any number of things. And you know,
they're they're gonna have the Trump uh sentencing in September,
but maybe they'll even delay that again because who knows
(27:25):
how that's gonna go. Uh, but I mean Kamala Harris.
I'm sorry, this is this has gone to if if
Kamala Harris can beat Joe Biden, I'm sorry, Kamala Harris can.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Be Donald Trump, we go back. What are we doing here, folks?
But I know these people. This is where sports I
really think plays in you make fun of. And it
is true that I automatically trust college football fans like
I'm It's like we have a secret handshake.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
As soon just tell Clay that you like an SEC team,
You'll throw you the keys to his car, tell you
to bring it back whatever you want. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
It is true. Say think by the Big Ten. Everybody's
coming up to me one. They talking about Wisconsin football
the last week. These blue collar Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan people,
big blue Michigan fans. They just you know, I like JD.
Van's the only thing I'll say negative about him is
(28:19):
it is an Ohio state, Buckeye, penn State fans, uh,
Wisconsin Badger fans. These guys and gals are not voting
for Kamala if they weren't already voting for Biden. And
I think there are a lot of people out there,
but buck to your point that just find this whole
(28:42):
thing incredibly sketchy. We're not gonna see the president again today.
I'm sorry. This feels like a really dirty coup. And
if you really liked Biden, you don't want grandpa in
a wheelchair getting pushed down the stairs. I mean that's
basically what they did to one. It's messy, it's ugly,
(29:03):
and it's unseemly. And I just don't think there's people
who are like, oh now, I'm a big Kamala person.
I don't buy it.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
So to be clear, they pressured the eighty year old
president when he had COVID, by their own reporting, to
drop out while he had COVID. COVID is dangerous in
your in your eighties. We've never you know, by the numbers,
it's so is a yeah, bad cold people can get
pneumonia from.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
The clue is super dangerous when you're over eighty, any
illness you get is dangerous.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah. We and I've always thought that about COVID, and
it's true of a lot of different respiratory viruses. So
while Joe Biden has but for him is a dangerous
medical condition. There's some weird tweet and then some and
some letter and we don't see him. And it's it
couldn't wait till he recovered. Think about that for a second.
They couldn't wait until he recovered. I'm sorry, there's something
very very sketchy going on here. I totally agree on that.
(29:52):
And just on your point about uh Biden in these
in these uh or Kamala and Biden in these swing states.
Joe Biden say which you will about him, and we've
said a lot has spent fifty years of his life
pretending to care about working class voters in the rosspelt,
you know, the eastern quarter of the United States. He's
(30:14):
spent fifty years. This whole thing is, oh, you know, Joe,
just like you and I ride the chut chew and
I got my lunch pailing. That's his whole stick for
all of those people. Kamala Harris reminds them of the
efficiency expert consultant hired to come to their company and
either lecture them on the need to use preferred pronouns
or to cut their job tell them sorry, no more
(30:35):
job for you, or sorry, we have to do minority
set aside hiring or sorry, we have some new policy
that's you know, she's not going to resonate with them. Yeah,
I agree, and white working class voters that Democrats need
in these key states. Kamala is a very weak As
I said, Kamala Harris is primary constituency rich Democrat donors
(30:59):
and and you know CNN executives, that's who really likes
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
And I think this is important too. Obama eight, who
appealed to a lot of these voters. Nobody will talk
about this because it's way easier to just say, oh,
everybody's racist. A lot of people in those Midwestern states.
Iowa is a great example, but in the big ten
states voted Obama eight, Obama twelve, Trump sixteen. You don't
(31:27):
vote for a black guy two straight elections and then
go to Trump because you're racist. Okay, that doesn't happen.
So this whole argument, there are millions of people who
had that voting trajectory. Obama had two little girls, was married,
and had a traditional family structure, and that really matters
(31:49):
for a lot of people out there that are just
kind of looking at the president as hey, is this
person the kind of family that we would like to
see this matters. Okay, Kamala doesn't get married till she's fifty.
Is the side chick of a married guy doesn't have
kids of her own married an old white lawyer from
(32:12):
La on a stage. Is Kamala Harris gonna look like
the family that you want to resupport. Look, people come
after Trump all the time. All of his kids love him.
All his grandkids also seem to love him. And to
your point, Buck, all of his kids super successful. They
(32:35):
have had good families of their own. You could attack
Trump on a lot. His kids have all done really
really well. There aren't the Joe Biden Hunter Biden stories
about the Trump kids. If there were, they'd be on
the front page. You all would have heard about him.
That matters. I think that you guys know that Trump
(32:56):
is not saying he's perfect. Certainly he isn't a private life,
but he's actually, it seems to be a pretty good
dad and a pretty good granddad. Cob was not.

Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
Shall we finish off with some calls here and let
you guys weigh in obviously chaotic weekend on top of
a chaotic three or four weeks here. Ron in Bradenton, Florida, Hey,
(34:54):
how you doing great?
Speaker 7 (34:57):
Hey, God love you guys. Since the Russia's gone, it'd
be very proud of you.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
In order to in order to be uh what's what's
the word not rude to Kamala, you could just you know,
like Victoria, you could call her Vicky, or you could
call her Tory. So just call Kamala COMMI and then
everybody knows her nickname.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Thank you for the It's not a bad nickname for Trump,
Tommy Harris. I mean, in fact, I actually think that's
a great nickname for him to deploy Chris and Grand
Rapids Michigan.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
Hey, guys, thanks for having me on. What I think
is going on with Kamala is that it's not forty Chess,
but I think it is calculated. Having her on the
ticket now gets her out of the way for twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Is how I heard.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
She was always the insurance policy for Biden, probably the
smartest thing he did to keep her behind in there
because she's worse. But this way the Dems can can
change the narrative somehow and get her out of the
way at the same time so they don't have to
deal with her next time around.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Thank you for the call. Buck Ye. I do think
there's some possibility as this plays out that effectively they
throw Kamala to the wolves and end her political career,
so they clean the deck for twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I'm still sitting here telling you replacing Bidom with Kamala
is a stroke of political lunasy for the Democrats. I mean,
apparently they should hire some Republicans to go advise them
because it's not going to work. So now what does
that mean, Clay, I don't know. I'm not taking anything
for granted at this point in terms of what's going
(36:39):
to happen at the convention or anything else but the
good news for US folks this election cycle, the craziest ever,
is still getting a lot crazier.
