Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Kamala has made her VP pick. Yesterday I was nervous,
I was a bit afraid. Today I am joyful because
she has made an awful pick. I thought, surely she's
gonna pick Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. It is the logical
choice to pick the most popular man in the most popular,
(00:27):
most important state in the twenty twenty four presidential election.
There is no pathway to the presidency for Kamala that
does not include winning Pennsylvania, so picking the most popular
man in that state was a no brainer. The problem
he's Jewish. Kamala Harris had a chance to stand up
(00:47):
to the anti Semites in her party and pick the
best man for the job. Instead buck she picked Minnesota
Governor Tim Waltz.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And I woke up.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
This morning, I rolled over to check my phone, and
last night I was following and yesterday I was following
the gambling markets. When I went to bed, it was
basically fifty to fifteen money had been coming in on Waltz,
and then this morning he was the pick. And I
think it is an incredible unforced error by Kamala Harris.
(01:22):
But importantly, I think it goes to the toxic core
of the left of the Democrat Party hates Jewish people.
And I can't believe this is the world that we
live in now. But you've seen it in the wake
of October seventh, as all of this has been playing out,
we have seen the Democrat Party unable and unwilling to
(01:47):
stand up to the squad, the Elon Omars, the Aocs,
the Jamal Bowmans, the Rashida Salibs, the Cory Bushes of
the party that believe that Jewish people shouldn't have the
right to live in Israel, that Jewish people are the oppressors,
the colonizers, that Arabs are the victims. And that is
(02:11):
what Kamala Harris has now acknowledged by picking Tim Waltz,
the guy that the squad wanted, picked the guy on
the far left. Trump has reacted and said thank you.
Even on the left. Van Jones on CNN said, this
is a pick that demonstrates that Kamala Harris is afraid
(02:33):
of the anti Jewish contingent of her party. Listen to
what was just said on CNN Cut twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Here's the challenge you've got in this party, and know
people don't want to talk about we got to talk
about it. On the one hand, you have a lot
of young people who concerned about Gaza. You have a
lot of Muslims and Arabs and others. They have not
felt seen by the Biden administration. You started start hearing
that genocide Joe, that was a building that was building,
and so those folks needed to have a candidate that
they could feel comfortable with.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
This helps them in that regard.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
But you also have anti Semitism that has gotten marbled
into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without
being an anti Jewish bigot, but there are some anti
Jewish bigots out there, and there's some disquiet now, and
there has to be how much of what just happened
is caving into some of these darker parts in the party?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Buck And you combine that the anti semitism with two
other things that I think are really significant. One Waltz
allowed Minnesota, Minneapolis in particular, to burn during the BLM protest.
Kamala Harris raised money to bail out those protesters too.
And we're going to get into this a little bit
because I know it's going to fire you up. Waltz
(03:49):
set up a phone line for people to turn in
violators of his COVID rules. If you saw someone with
too many people at their house, if you saw someone
playing basketball at a park, you were supposed to call
in and turn in your fellow Minnesota citizens.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
That hotline existed for months. This guy's a disaster. This
is a reminder of it. Unfortunately, the birthplace of the
intellectual progressive movement in america's Wisconsin. Really it's Madison, right
next door to Minnesota. You get some of these Midwestern
(04:29):
progressives who are very familiar to people like me who
grew up in New York City or people who grew
up in the Bay Area. But for them to be
in the middle of the country is a little bit
of a woe moment for people who grew up on
the Eastern Seaboard or grew up in the South. It's like,
hold on a second. There are people in Minnesota who
(04:50):
are as left wing as the staunchest progressive in the
environs of Boston or Washington, DC. Yes, and this is
who Tim Waltz is. And what I have to say,
I find that this is a I'm actually a little surprised,
and I'm so rarely surprised by Democrats, but there must
(05:13):
the anti Semitism is so strong that they would rather
take the hit and they can argue about whether this
is fair or not as much as they want. There
is a perception. Even Van Jones had to address it,
who he is one of the more astute Democrats about
Democrat mindset and Democrat you know, views on things. For
(05:36):
him to have to address it as just a strong
indicator of the fact that yeah, they've got a lot
of anti Semites and they would rather be known as
a party that has to placid anti Semites than roll
the dice on Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
And we are all I have.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I have not heard a single you know, in all
the side chats with all the conservatives. I know, I've
got all these different side chats. You know, I got
my I got my crazy right wing people, I got
my Florida people, I got my New York behind enemy
lines conservatives. Like I talked to everybody right and on
all the side chats play not a single person I
have talked to.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
And these are people all follow politics for a living.
I mean, this is all they do.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No one is saying, oh man, this Waltz, pick this
has got me worried, not one person.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So it's a gift.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
When you look at that calculation, you have to come
away with it saying that, yeah, they really they thought
Michigan was done. They're giving up Michigan if they go
with Shapiro. And I think that they also were looking
at Michigan and Wisconsin as almost a tandem, right, Michigan,
so go with one, so go with the other. Likely
it's not necessarily case, but I think that there's perception
(06:44):
that you'll have some crossover in terms of the voting,
you know, voting patterns in both places. But I mean,
this is great because now we get to run. You
have Kamala Harris who wanted BLM rioters bailed out.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Raised money to do it. I just shared the tweet.
It's still up raise money to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
And you have Tim Waltz who let the rampaging hordes
destroy parts of Minneapolis, loot and burn and riot, I
mean arsonists and assaulters and people doing all kinds of
horrible stuff. A police station burned down. He let it
happen and was happy that there was a racial justice
(07:30):
reckoning going on in.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
His state, or whatever garbage he was peddling at the time.
I mean, this is honestly, I'm at the point now
where I'm like, if the country elects these two, these
two clowns, the country almost deserves to suffer.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I don't know what. I know that we're not going
to vote for them.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
But if these two can win, if these two together
on a Democrat ticket with ninety days before the election,
can beat Donald Trump, I don't know. Man, It's time
to start looking for land in Costa Rica or somewhere.
I think that this is a sign of Kamala Harris
having no spine. We've been talking about what does Kamala
(08:08):
Harris actually believe in? And I think that's important because ultimately,
when you elect someone, you strip down everything else. You're saying, hey,
I want someone who has the following values making the
toughest decisions for the country. And that's the idea of
electing a president. What does Kamala Harris believe in? Yes, look, economy,
(08:32):
she's wrong on it, Border, she's wrong on it, crime,
she's wrong on it ECB.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
We know that, right, What does she actually believe in?
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Though?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Because to me, Buck this is more of her doing
whatever is politically expedient because Josh Shapiro is the best
candidate for her to have picked, she was afraid to
do it because of who he upset, and instead she
allowed herself to be bullied into taking Tim Waltz, who
(09:06):
really hasn't accomplished very much if you look at the
data buck and this was from Harry Inton, who's the
data guy. They're going to try to say, well, Tim
Waltz appeals to the big ten voter that I talk
about a lot, right, the blue collar football fan in
all of those Midwestern states. He actually underperforms in the
(09:28):
red areas of Minnesota relative to the liberal areas. So
this is not a guy who's going to suddenly go
out to State College, PA area right where Penn State
is and suddenly be drawing in a ton of people.
He's not a rural connector in that way. We know
(09:49):
Kamala Harris isn't like this is a big whiff in
terms of even the argument you're trying to make for him,
Even leaving aside the anti Semitism and cowardice of Kamala
in refu using to stand up to that element of
her party.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I also think that we've seen this phenomenon, you know,
We're at the RNC in Wisconsin, and this was very
apparent a lot of the people who were there who
were true Wisconsin Night Politico has made this clear that
the way Democrats get elected in Wisconsin is to be
Wisconsin nice and you know, be the home state guy
(10:27):
who isn't going to sell out to Washington, d C.
And this is that's specifically on the Senate, you know,
Senate and congressional races. I mean the governor is a
little bit different, but the idea is you tell all
the people in your home, it's like Martin Basher, it's beer.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Is the same.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Not sorry, not Martin, sorry, Andy, Martin Basher is a
different situation.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And I was going to say, like this is how
that's the guy who interviewed all the British people back
is back in the day.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
For the Royal family's chief interview at No, No, not
that guy, the other guy, Andy Basher. But you know
he we've dealt with this phenomenon. Kentuckians liked that guy
enough for whatever reason that they'll vote for him. I
think that with somebody like a Waltz, Minnesotans know him,
like him, and I know it's a pretty blue state.
(11:14):
But part of it is that he doesn't. He pretends
like he's different from those like the Pelosi and Schumer Democrats.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
And he's not. He's not.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
And this is the more that this can be exposed,
the better, the more that he is just shown to
be a part of that Democrat system and what happened
with BLM. You know, for me, the COVID thing is
just that will never be. I will never forgive people
like him for what they did. I will never let
that go. But you know, maybe we're zealots on this issue.
But on the BLM side of things, Clay, I forget.
(11:43):
I think it was a verad meta on x Twitter
who put out they should just have people whose stores
were looted and burned out on campaign commercials for Trump
just being like the governor, the police. They didn't do anything,
that didn't care. Insurance doesn't just cover it. By the
way people say that don't know anything. That's not how
(12:04):
it works. They ruin people's livelihoods over Saint George Floyd.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Really no, and I think a lot of these ads
right themselves. This is why I didn't think she'd picked him.
Waltz and you can say, okay, well, she didn't pick
Josh Shapiro, who would you have picked. I mean, if
you're not gonna pick Josh Shapiro, I think you go
with your boy, the astronaut Mark Kelly in Arizona. He's
in a toss up state. He could make a difference there.
(12:29):
Maybe he adds fifty one hundred thousand votes.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
He makes the tickets seem like it's not just a
bunch of communists trying to pull one over on the country,
helping the communists and therefore being a fellow traveler.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Being one of them. But he would have that, Mark
Kelly would have that perception. This guy, he.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Might as well have had it, you know of Kama
might as well have picked any progressive politician anywhere in
the Midwest, really anywhere in the country in terms of
this guy's beliefs Helay, you see what everything this guy
talks about, you just go, oh my gosh, he's wrong
on everything.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It reinforces what I think is maybe the weakest part
of Kamala Harris's last four years, which is bailing out
the BLM protesters and being associated with defund the police
in Minneapolis, where the murder rate has skyrocketed. I didn't
think she would be dumb enough to dumb down, to
double down on one of her weakest issues. I thought
(13:24):
she'd go grab Mark Kelly or Josh Shapiro. I think
this is an incredible unforced error. And it may well
be the case that the VP generally doesn't matter, but
it shouldn't hurt you. I think this hurts her. I
think it's actually a negative. And to your point, when
you have almost universal exhalations of joy, exclamations of joy
(13:48):
from your opponents, it ain't a good sign. And that's
what's happening right now with the selection of Tim Waltz.
If she had picked Shapiro, I would have said, I know,
good choice. If she had picked Mark Kelly, I would
have said, hey, I would take in Shapiro. But I
can see it Waltz. I feel like we all got
a massive early Christmas gift from Kamala Harris. As we
sit here and talk today, Israeli residents are under threat
(14:11):
of attack.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Many are worried about it. Understandably, our own trip.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
This week to witness what Israel Israeli residents are contending
with was canceled due to security reasons. The planes weren't
taken off we couldn't go. In the third hour of
this show, today, we're going to talk to the mom
of one of the hostages still being held more than
three hundred days after the October seventh attack. That conversation,
I think you guys are really going to enjoy. It's
(14:38):
compelling her story based on what I have heard so far.
Last week, they welcomed one hundred and five new immigrants
from France to Israel. Thanks to the work of the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They weren't the only
incoming new residents. All in, more than one thousand French
Jewish citizens have arrived in Israel since October seventh. The
(14:59):
Internation Federation of Christians and Jews, the IFCJ, offers to
help each new resident. Join us in donating what you
can to the IFCJ to help them meet urgent security needs.
UH call to make your gifts right now. Thanks to
a generous supporter, your gift will be matched, doubling your impact.
You can make a phone call right now eight eight
(15:19):

Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
CNN Bronken News and the Breaking News. CNN has learned
that Vice President of Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Governor
Tim Walls to be her running mate. You are looking
at live pictures from Saint Paul, Minnesota, outside the home
(16:12):
of the Minnesota governor.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Right now.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Let me just read you the alert as it just
came in. Vice President Harris has made a decision with
four people close to the process saying Tim Walls of
Minnesota is her choice.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
All right, all right, So that was CNN breaking it today. Clay,
here's a possibility. Maybe some of the other candidates realized
what I realize, which is that Kamala is going to
have to ice skate uphill on this one. This is
going to be a tough, tough fight against Donald Trump
to win, and they didn't want to be a part
(16:48):
of a losing ticket, especially if they're a popular governor.
I don't think I'd applies to Shapiro, which we've been discussing,
but some of the other ones, because otherwise I sit
here and think to my else, this is the first
major mistake that I have seen the Democrats make. Who
won't show Kamala to the public, who are running the
(17:09):
narrative playbook for her since Kamala became the nominee.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I don't think anybody turned it down, but I do
think this is a pretty devastation Gretchen Whitmer.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
People turned it down. She didn't want She didn't want
that job.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I think there was a recognition everybody was a white
guy who was the finalist. I think there was a
recognition that they couldn't go double women, and that they
couldn't go double minority, because the final six guys that
they considered were all white men. I mean, in fact,
you can argue that Waltz, if you look at actual
voting patterns, may be the first white man ever to
(17:49):
be a DEI candidate, because white men are overwhelmingly going
to vote for Trump, and the only reason he got
picked because he's a white guy.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
There is that.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
So phone bills can really add up, particularly if you're
on an unlimited data plan. Save yourself fifty dollars or
more every month by switching your cell phone service to Puretalk.
In this uncertain economy, having that extra cash is huge
rise in AT and T and T Mobile want you
to believe that you need unlimited.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Data so they can overcharge you.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
But if you look at the amount of data you
actually use, most of us are buying far more than
we ever actually need. But for just twenty five dollars
a month with Puretalk, you can get unlimited talk, text,
and five gigs of data plus mobile hotspot. Five gigs
of data is enough to browse the Internet for one
hundred and thirty five hours a month, or four plus
hours every day of the month. With pure Talk, you're
(18:40):
on America's most dependable five G network. Dial pound two
five zero, say Clay en Buck, and you'll save fifty
percent off your first month. Again, Dial pound two five
zero and say Clay and Buck to start saving now
on your cell phone plan.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
They're already are attack ads coming down. As Tim Waltz,
Minnesota Governor, is Kamala Harris's vice presidential selection.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
The Trump team was ready. They had their own ad.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I mean they probably had ads ready for everybody to
be fair because it was obvious who the finalists were.
But I want to play this for you. If you
think about, Okay, what kind of guy is Tim Waltz.
So the're going to try to pretend, Oh, he's Minnesota nice,
He's just a normal guy on the gender war front.
He has put tampon's in boys' high school bathrooms, signed
(19:31):
a bill to do that, which is leading libs of
TikTok to label him tampon Tim, which I gotta be
honest with you, pretty good nickname, tampon Tim. And he
also believes that young children should be able to get
their genitals chopped off. He has made sure that if
(19:52):
you are under eighteen and you want to have gender
reassignment surgery, that is permitted in Minnesota. Listen to this
ad reflect thing both.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
What could be weirder than signing a bill into law
that requires schools to stop tampons in boys' bathrooms, or
weirder than signing legislation allowing miners to receive sex change operations.
Try electing the man who signed those bills vice President
of the United States. Enter chief Weirdo Tim Walls as
(20:24):
governor of Minnesota. Laws supportive legislation that endangers miners, hurts women,
and puts radical ideology ahead of common sense. Now Kamala
wants walls to enforce those laws on a national scale.
Tim walls too weird, too radical.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Okay, I just pretty good adds it's a great ad.
And again I think economy, border and crime needs to
be the focal point. But pointing out some of these
individual decisions, calling him tampon Tim, I think is effective.
And again I just come back to there's a report
out there, Buck. This is from Jackie Heinrich at Fox News.
(21:07):
I want to read this to you because this might
also impact the decision that was made twoday. I'm reading
two sources confirm on background the deciding factor in the
VP's choice was that Senator Fetterman said publicly concern Shapiro's
personal ambitions would cause him to upstage override Harris. The
(21:29):
video Shapiro produced by Philly Mayor Cherrell Parker's team solidified
this sentiment. On Friday, we played that for you, which
was basically a ad from a Philadelphia area saying hey,
which is where the first rally is at five o'clock
Eastern today, saying Hey, this is a great team Shapiro
(21:50):
and Kamala. Shapiro's team is saying they didn't know that
that video had been produced and ahead of time. Again,
that's the argument that they tried to make. But I
think I'm curious what you would say, Buck. If you
are supremely confident in your own talents as president, you
(22:11):
shouldn't be worried that the vice president is going to
upstage you. Trump picked a young guy in jd Vance
that is getting a lot of attention. He's on the trail.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
All the time.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
To me, this is like if Trump would have picked
Doug Berghum, the sort of unthreatening Midwestern guy that a
lot of people are going to ignore. That's what Kamala
did here.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think that any smart politician on the Democrat side
would have also seen what has the relationship been like
with Biden and Kamala very frosty? What has the relationship
been like between Kamala and her staff atrocious? When you
start to see these things, I know that there might
(22:56):
be this impulse to assume, oh, well, none of that
matters when it's talking when you're talking about the presidency
and saving the country. Now you're gonna have to deal
with this person you're gonna have to clean up their message.
You're gonna have to smile as the vice president when
they say dumb things, when they make huge mistakes.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
And this is where I believe it really.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Comes into play that if Trump wins, top Democrats get
to have a real primary and they all get to
shape their own narrative and their own destiny and try
to get the big job their own way, on their
own timetable. So this is why immediately you'll notice the conversation.
As soon as it was Kamala, it shifted away from
(23:37):
any of the names that people had thought would be
the dropped in. You know, whether it's a Michelle Obama
or Gavin.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Newsom or anything.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Nobody who has a political future with the presidency in
their sights was gonna take the VP job for Kamala.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Really, it was.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
All these the best they can do is the VP
under Kamala, right. And so now you look at it,
you say, okay, well that takes out that tear and
Kamala Harris, as much as it sounds, this is specifically
what you're raising, Clay, As much as it sounds crazy,
she doesn't want to be upstaged, she doesn't want somebody
who's a more competent, more likable politician out there.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
The media's narrative.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Is that this is all just Kamala being amazing, you
know what I'm saying. So it makes it harder to
convince everyone kam was amazing. If every time you hear
the vice president's speaking here, you hear her speak, you go, well,
that guy is way more confident than she is.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, and I'm still stugged. I just didn't think that
ultimately she would be this dumb, And maybe the answer
is she is really dumb. I think the other part
of this is she's a chameleon. You know, she'll say
whatever she thinks she needs to say to whatever audience
she is around to be elected. I think the other
(24:56):
part of this is, hey, if they had a great
interpersonal relationship somehow or other. Tim Walton, Kamala Harris had
known each other for years. I do think there's an
element there where you say, hey, I'm going to be
in the fox hole. I want a guy who is
going to be right with me and I know is
going to have my back and all those things. I
would say, to the extent you need marriage advice, that's
(25:19):
probably the number one thing you want in a marital partner,
especially if you're going to have stressful times, as we
all do, somebody who's got your back.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
They don't have a.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Relationship either, Buck, I'm reading I was doing my prep
work here. It's not as if they've known each other
for years, because again I would give a little bit
of leeway to then saying, hey, this is the most
important decision of your life, probably as a politician, that
Kamala will ever have. And so who she selects wanting
somebody who she's really comfortable with, that she has great
(25:51):
rapport with, that she thinks will be a fabulous teammate,
that the one plus one will equal three dynamic, I
could say, okay, that makes Since there's no relationship here either.
So it's not as if she's known Tim Waltz for
twenty five years and she's like, I know this guy,
He's gonna have my back. This is a panicked I
can't pick a Jewish guy fallback. I wonder, also, Buck,
(26:16):
what did they find out about Mark Kelly because he
faded fast. He was the favorite for a while, the
senator from Arizona. If you don't want to go with
Shapiro to me, he's a very clear runner up, unthreatening
astronaut in a border state who just won re election.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Fairly coming to it this way.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Was anyone, including in the Democrat commentariot, saying it was
going to be Tim Waltz a week ago. I did
not see a sin. I mean, his name was percolating
in the background. Nobody was saying, oh, it's Tim Waltz.
So I think this was a last minute move. Also,
I think that there were a number of people in consideration,
and to your point about Mark Kelly, they chose to
(26:58):
go beyond him. Now they'll just say that's because a
Midwestern strategy, it's better to have a Minnesota governor. I
guess that's the way they'd respond to it. But it
wasn't surprise. I actually thought it would be Mark Kelly
because I was always thinking there was the possibility they
would go past Shapiro because of the you know, the
Hamas vote, which the Democrats need so badly.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Uh So we shall see.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
But one thing about Tim Waltz, for sure, Clay, I mean,
this is a guy who looks like he drinks way
too much soy milk. I mean you see him, and
he's he just sort of you know, it kind of
looks like a cabbage patch kid all grown up. The
guy doesn't have the energy, the vitality, the get after
it that he needs.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
And Tampon Tim is his nickname.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
That is the opposite from tampon Tim.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
We got to send Tampon Tim some chalk to get
it all reversed and get it going in the right direction.
Our buddy Tim needs to put down the soy milk,
stop throwing the tampons in the men's bathrooms, and get
some chalk going in his life.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Chalk's male vitality stack contains a leading ingredient, prove it
in studies to replenish twenty percent of diminished testosterone in
men within three months time.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Think about that.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I mean, low t is a big problem for some guys,
and I mean in the case of Tim Waltz, like
maybe no tea. I mean, things are rough. Things are rough,
but there are things you can do. So Clay and
I are nice guys. Maybe we'll hook the governor of
Minnesota up with some free chalk and see, although we'll
do it after he loses the election because we don't
want to help him before then. Choq dot com. That's

got some calls here. Let's take Joe in southern Minnesota.
We got our Minnesota callers lighten us up over Walt.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Let's hear it, Joe, Hey playing Buck.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
You do a good show, Miss Rush, but you do good.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 11 (31:55):
I have that unfortunate distinction of being in little Timmy's
congressional district for all the time he was there, and
for living in the state that he is governor of,
which does a craft job. One of the things I remember,
they Tim walls that he doesn't have a problem with
his Republican counterparts, but the problem is that they're wrong
(32:16):
every damn time. And that is I've heard on on
the radio several times he is you push back on him,
and he just gets belligerent and something you didn't. He's
not for the constituent. He was at a sheriff's convention
something like that, and I know of a sheriff that
went up and recently Minnesota changed its state flag and
(32:40):
the guy said, gee, you could give us a little
money so we could swap these state flags out. And
Tim was good enough to say, I give you guys
enough money and turn around and walk away. So that's
kind of what you're looking at in little.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Timmy, the communists who pretends to be smiling and care
about his neighbors is actually a selfish jerk who doesn't
care about the policies.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
And the destruction sounds.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Right to me. Yeah, thank you for the call.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
And by the way, we want Minnesotans to call in
and give us your feedback eight hundred and two to
two eight a two of what you see and have
seen out there as his representative, and this is we
just heard from Joe right Tom in Ham Lake, Minnesota.
You are a Minnesotan as well. What has your experience
(33:28):
been like? What should we know in the lower forty
nine here? Basically, I guess lower forty eight with catass Alaska,
and from your experience with him as the governor, well, it's.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
We like to call him up here, Kim John Walls.
I think that's for the local radio station. During COVID
especially is uh everything was locked down? I do. I'm
a blue collar worker. I work in the trades that
are on the cities all the time, and how everything
was shut down for so long was absolutely insane that
I when to comes to education, him being a teacher,
(34:02):
they're basically owned by education in Minnesota. The teachers you
ain't up here in this state where just recently within
the last few years, I don't have it in front
of me because of course it's driving. They raised the
retirement age. He's sixty seven years old. So imagine a
teacher with you know, kids, thirty forty kids in a
classroom as one teacher trying to contain all that stuff
(34:24):
along with the lack of discipline that we have up
in these classrooms in public education in Minnesota. That's the
other portion of it. The lack of funding for services
in the state for special education is ridiculous. My wife
is a psychologist in the public school and she has
absolutely no help. It's her as basically the Prince School
and a school of eight hundred and juty kids. It
(34:46):
is just an absolute disaster up here when it comes
to education. And mister Kim John law.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Man, thank you, thank you so much for the call. Claive.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
We've got so many Minnesota calls. I mean not a surprise.
So the callers are not happy with the trajectory of Kim.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
What was it when he called him Tim, Tim jung Waltz, Right.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yeah, Tim jung Waltz. And tampon Tim is, by the way,
the number one trending topic on Twitter x in America
right now. And if you're wondering how tampon Tim became
a thing, it's because Tim Waltz passed a law to
put tampon's in all the boys' bathrooms of Minnesota. I mean,
(35:29):
this is a far left wing, lunatic guy. And the
idea that he would in some way appeal this is
where I just come back to it. I can't believe this.
The idea that he would in some way appeal to
middle class, middle of the road Midwestern voters who are
likely to decide this election is to me laughably absurd.
(35:53):
Speaking of which, JD. Vance is on the road right
now campaigning in the Midwest, Trump's vice presidentidential candidate. He
is now reacting to the selection of Tim Waltz. Will
play some of that audio for you when we come back. Also,
top of the third hour, we're scheduled to speak to
one of the moms of one of the hostages still
(36:15):
being held by Hamas, and there are eight US citizens
currently still being held as we're approaching nearly a year, unfortunately,
over three hundred days that those hostages have been held.
What has that experience been like for the mom of
a hostage and what does she expect and what has
she seen from that process. We will discuss all that
(36:37):
and more with her Buck when we come back for
the third hour. But up next, jd vance teeing off
on Kamala's VP pick. We'll play that for you as
we roll in to hour two.
Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Kamala has made her VP pick. Yesterday I was nervous,
I was a bit afraid. Today I am joyful because
she has made an awful pick. I thought, surely she's
gonna pick Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. It is the logical
choice to pick the most popular man in the most popular,
(00:27):
most important state in the twenty twenty four presidential election.
There is no pathway to the presidency for Kamala that
does not include winning Pennsylvania, so picking the most popular
man in that state was a no brainer. The problem
he's Jewish. Kamala Harris had a chance to stand up
(00:47):
to the anti Semites in her party and pick the
best man for the job. Instead buck she picked Minnesota
Governor Tim Waltz.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And I woke up.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
This morning, I rolled over to check my phone, and
last night I was following and yesterday I was following
the gambling markets. When I went to bed, it was
basically fifty to fifteen money had been coming in on Waltz,
and then this morning he was the pick. And I
think it is an incredible unforced error by Kamala Harris.
(01:22):
But importantly, I think it goes to the toxic core
of the left of the Democrat Party hates Jewish people.
And I can't believe this is the world that we
live in now. But you've seen it in the wake
of October seventh, as all of this has been playing out,
we have seen the Democrat Party unable and unwilling to
(01:47):
stand up to the squad, the Elon Omars, the Aocs,
the Jamal Bowmans, the Rashida Salibs, the Cory Bushes of
the party that believe that Jewish people shouldn't have the
right to live in Israel, that Jewish people are the oppressors,
the colonizers, that Arabs are the victims. And that is
(02:11):
what Kamala Harris has now acknowledged by picking Tim Waltz,
the guy that the squad wanted, picked the guy on
the far left. Trump has reacted and said thank you.
Even on the left. Van Jones on CNN said, this
is a pick that demonstrates that Kamala Harris is afraid
(02:33):
of the anti Jewish contingent of her party. Listen to
what was just said on CNN Cut twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Here's the challenge you've got in this party, and know
people don't want to talk about we got to talk
about it. On the one hand, you have a lot
of young people who concerned about Gaza. You have a
lot of Muslims and Arabs and others. They have not
felt seen by the Biden administration. You started start hearing
that genocide Joe, that was a building that was building,
and so those folks needed to have a candidate that
they could feel comfortable with.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
This helps them in that regard.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
But you also have anti Semitism that has gotten marbled
into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without
being an anti Jewish bigot, but there are some anti
Jewish bigots out there, and there's some disquiet now, and
there has to be how much of what just happened
is caving into some of these darker parts in the party?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Buck And you combine that the anti semitism with two
other things that I think are really significant. One Waltz
allowed Minnesota, Minneapolis in particular, to burn during the BLM protest.
Kamala Harris raised money to bail out those protesters too.
And we're going to get into this a little bit
because I know it's going to fire you up. Waltz
(03:49):
set up a phone line for people to turn in
violators of his COVID rules. If you saw someone with
too many people at their house, if you saw someone
playing basketball at a park, you were supposed to call
in and turn in your fellow Minnesota citizens.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
That hotline existed for months. This guy's a disaster. This
is a reminder of it. Unfortunately, the birthplace of the
intellectual progressive movement in america's Wisconsin. Really it's Madison, right
next door to Minnesota. You get some of these Midwestern
(04:29):
progressives who are very familiar to people like me who
grew up in New York City or people who grew
up in the Bay Area. But for them to be
in the middle of the country is a little bit
of a woe moment for people who grew up on
the Eastern Seaboard or grew up in the South. It's like,
hold on a second. There are people in Minnesota who
(04:50):
are as left wing as the staunchest progressive in the
environs of Boston or Washington, DC. Yes, and this is
who Tim Waltz is. And what I have to say,
I find that this is a I'm actually a little surprised,
and I'm so rarely surprised by Democrats, but there must
(05:13):
the anti Semitism is so strong that they would rather
take the hit and they can argue about whether this
is fair or not as much as they want. There
is a perception. Even Van Jones had to address it,
who he is one of the more astute Democrats about
Democrat mindset and Democrat you know, views on things. For
(05:36):
him to have to address it as just a strong
indicator of the fact that yeah, they've got a lot
of anti Semites and they would rather be known as
a party that has to placid anti Semites than roll
the dice on Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
And we are all I have.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I have not heard a single you know, in all
the side chats with all the conservatives. I know, I've
got all these different side chats. You know, I got
my I got my crazy right wing people, I got
my Florida people, I got my New York behind enemy
lines conservatives. Like I talked to everybody right and on
all the side chats play not a single person I
have talked to.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
And these are people all follow politics for a living.
I mean, this is all they do.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No one is saying, oh man, this Waltz, pick this
has got me worried, not one person.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So it's a gift.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
When you look at that calculation, you have to come
away with it saying that, yeah, they really they thought
Michigan was done. They're giving up Michigan if they go
with Shapiro. And I think that they also were looking
at Michigan and Wisconsin as almost a tandem, right, Michigan,
so go with one, so go with the other. Likely
it's not necessarily case, but I think that there's perception
(06:44):
that you'll have some crossover in terms of the voting,
you know, voting patterns in both places. But I mean,
this is great because now we get to run. You
have Kamala Harris who wanted BLM rioters bailed out.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Raised money to do it. I just shared the tweet.
It's still up raise money to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
And you have Tim Waltz who let the rampaging hordes
destroy parts of Minneapolis, loot and burn and riot, I
mean arsonists and assaulters and people doing all kinds of
horrible stuff. A police station burned down. He let it
happen and was happy that there was a racial justice
(07:30):
reckoning going on in.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
His state, or whatever garbage he was peddling at the time.
I mean, this is honestly, I'm at the point now
where I'm like, if the country elects these two, these
two clowns, the country almost deserves to suffer.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I don't know what. I know that we're not going
to vote for them.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
But if these two can win, if these two together
on a Democrat ticket with ninety days before the election,
can beat Donald Trump, I don't know. Man, It's time
to start looking for land in Costa Rica or somewhere.
I think that this is a sign of Kamala Harris
having no spine. We've been talking about what does Kamala
(08:08):
Harris actually believe in? And I think that's important because ultimately,
when you elect someone, you strip down everything else. You're saying, hey,
I want someone who has the following values making the
toughest decisions for the country. And that's the idea of
electing a president. What does Kamala Harris believe in? Yes, look, economy,
(08:32):
she's wrong on it, Border, she's wrong on it, crime,
she's wrong on it ECB.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
We know that, right, What does she actually believe in?
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Though?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Because to me, Buck this is more of her doing
whatever is politically expedient because Josh Shapiro is the best
candidate for her to have picked, she was afraid to
do it because of who he upset, and instead she
allowed herself to be bullied into taking Tim Waltz, who
(09:06):
really hasn't accomplished very much if you look at the
data buck and this was from Harry Inton, who's the
data guy. They're going to try to say, well, Tim
Waltz appeals to the big ten voter that I talk
about a lot, right, the blue collar football fan in
all of those Midwestern states. He actually underperforms in the
(09:28):
red areas of Minnesota relative to the liberal areas. So
this is not a guy who's going to suddenly go
out to State College, PA area right where Penn State
is and suddenly be drawing in a ton of people.
He's not a rural connector in that way. We know
(09:49):
Kamala Harris isn't like this is a big whiff in
terms of even the argument you're trying to make for him,
Even leaving aside the anti Semitism and cowardice of Kamala
in refu using to stand up to that element of
her party.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I also think that we've seen this phenomenon, you know,
We're at the RNC in Wisconsin, and this was very
apparent a lot of the people who were there who
were true Wisconsin Night Politico has made this clear that
the way Democrats get elected in Wisconsin is to be
Wisconsin nice and you know, be the home state guy
(10:27):
who isn't going to sell out to Washington, d C.
And this is that's specifically on the Senate, you know,
Senate and congressional races. I mean the governor is a
little bit different, but the idea is you tell all
the people in your home, it's like Martin Basher, it's beer.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Is the same.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Not sorry, not Martin, sorry, Andy, Martin Basher is a
different situation.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And I was going to say, like this is how
that's the guy who interviewed all the British people back
is back in the day.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
For the Royal family's chief interview at No, No, not
that guy, the other guy, Andy Basher. But you know
he we've dealt with this phenomenon. Kentuckians liked that guy
enough for whatever reason that they'll vote for him. I
think that with somebody like a Waltz, Minnesotans know him,
like him, and I know it's a pretty blue state.
(11:14):
But part of it is that he doesn't. He pretends
like he's different from those like the Pelosi and Schumer Democrats.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
And he's not. He's not.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
And this is the more that this can be exposed,
the better, the more that he is just shown to
be a part of that Democrat system and what happened
with BLM. You know, for me, the COVID thing is
just that will never be. I will never forgive people
like him for what they did. I will never let
that go. But you know, maybe we're zealots on this issue.
But on the BLM side of things, Clay, I forget.
(11:43):
I think it was a verad meta on x Twitter
who put out they should just have people whose stores
were looted and burned out on campaign commercials for Trump
just being like the governor, the police. They didn't do anything,
that didn't care. Insurance doesn't just cover it. By the
way people say that don't know anything. That's not how
(12:04):
it works. They ruin people's livelihoods over Saint George Floyd.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Really no, and I think a lot of these ads
right themselves. This is why I didn't think she'd picked him.
Waltz and you can say, okay, well, she didn't pick
Josh Shapiro, who would you have picked. I mean, if
you're not gonna pick Josh Shapiro, I think you go
with your boy, the astronaut Mark Kelly in Arizona. He's
in a toss up state. He could make a difference there.
(12:29):
Maybe he adds fifty one hundred thousand votes.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
He makes the tickets seem like it's not just a
bunch of communists trying to pull one over on the country,
helping the communists and therefore being a fellow traveler.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Being one of them. But he would have that, Mark
Kelly would have that perception. This guy, he.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Might as well have had it, you know of Kama
might as well have picked any progressive politician anywhere in
the Midwest, really anywhere in the country in terms of
this guy's beliefs Helay, you see what everything this guy
talks about, you just go, oh my gosh, he's wrong
on everything.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It reinforces what I think is maybe the weakest part
of Kamala Harris's last four years, which is bailing out
the BLM protesters and being associated with defund the police
in Minneapolis, where the murder rate has skyrocketed. I didn't
think she would be dumb enough to dumb down, to
double down on one of her weakest issues. I thought
(13:24):
she'd go grab Mark Kelly or Josh Shapiro. I think
this is an incredible unforced error. And it may well
be the case that the VP generally doesn't matter, but
it shouldn't hurt you. I think this hurts her. I
think it's actually a negative. And to your point, when
you have almost universal exhalations of joy, exclamations of joy
(13:48):
from your opponents, it ain't a good sign. And that's
what's happening right now with the selection of Tim Waltz.
If she had picked Shapiro, I would have said, I know,
good choice. If she had picked Mark Kelly, I would
have said, hey, I would take in Shapiro. But I
can see it Waltz. I feel like we all got
a massive early Christmas gift from Kamala Harris. As we
sit here and talk today, Israeli residents are under threat
(14:11):
of attack.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Many are worried about it. Understandably, our own trip.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
This week to witness what Israel Israeli residents are contending
with was canceled due to security reasons. The planes weren't
taken off we couldn't go. In the third hour of
this show, today, we're going to talk to the mom
of one of the hostages still being held more than
three hundred days after the October seventh attack. That conversation,
I think you guys are really going to enjoy. It's
(14:38):
compelling her story based on what I have heard so far.
Last week, they welcomed one hundred and five new immigrants
from France to Israel. Thanks to the work of the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They weren't the only
incoming new residents. All in, more than one thousand French
Jewish citizens have arrived in Israel since October seventh. The
(14:59):
Internation Federation of Christians and Jews, the IFCJ, offers to
help each new resident. Join us in donating what you
can to the IFCJ to help them meet urgent security needs.
UH call to make your gifts right now. Thanks to
a generous supporter, your gift will be matched, doubling your impact.
You can make a phone call right now eight eight

Speaker 8 (15:51):
CNN Bronken News and the Breaking News. CNN has learned
that Vice President of Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Governor
Tim Walls to be her running mate. You are looking
at live pictures from Saint Paul, Minnesota, outside the home
(16:12):
of the Minnesota governor.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Right now.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Let me just read you the alert as it just
came in. Vice President Harris has made a decision with
four people close to the process saying Tim Walls of
Minnesota is her choice.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
All right, all right, So that was CNN breaking it today. Clay,
here's a possibility. Maybe some of the other candidates realized
what I realize, which is that Kamala is going to
have to ice skate uphill on this one. This is
going to be a tough, tough fight against Donald Trump
to win, and they didn't want to be a part
(16:48):
of a losing ticket, especially if they're a popular governor.
I don't think I'd applies to Shapiro, which we've been discussing,
but some of the other ones, because otherwise I sit
here and think to my else, this is the first
major mistake that I have seen the Democrats make. Who
won't show Kamala to the public, who are running the
(17:09):
narrative playbook for her since Kamala became the nominee.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I don't think anybody turned it down, but I do
think this is a pretty devastation Gretchen Whitmer.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
People turned it down. She didn't want She didn't want
that job.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I think there was a recognition everybody was a white
guy who was the finalist. I think there was a
recognition that they couldn't go double women, and that they
couldn't go double minority, because the final six guys that
they considered were all white men. I mean, in fact,
you can argue that Waltz, if you look at actual
voting patterns, may be the first white man ever to
(17:49):
be a DEI candidate, because white men are overwhelmingly going
to vote for Trump, and the only reason he got
picked because he's a white guy.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
There is that.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
So phone bills can really add up, particularly if you're
on an unlimited data plan. Save yourself fifty dollars or
more every month by switching your cell phone service to Puretalk.
In this uncertain economy, having that extra cash is huge
rise in AT and T and T Mobile want you
to believe that you need unlimited.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Data so they can overcharge you.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
But if you look at the amount of data you
actually use, most of us are buying far more than

Speaker 2 (18:56):
They're already are attack ads coming down. As Tim Waltz,
Minnesota Governor, is Kamala Harris's vice presidential selection.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
The Trump team was ready. They had their own ad.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I mean they probably had ads ready for everybody to
be fair because it was obvious who the finalists were.
But I want to play this for you. If you
think about, Okay, what kind of guy is Tim Waltz.
So the're going to try to pretend, Oh, he's Minnesota nice,
He's just a normal guy on the gender war front.
He has put tampon's in boys' high school bathrooms, signed
(19:31):
a bill to do that, which is leading libs of
TikTok to label him tampon Tim, which I gotta be
honest with you, pretty good nickname, tampon Tim. And he
also believes that young children should be able to get
their genitals chopped off. He has made sure that if
(19:52):
you are under eighteen and you want to have gender
reassignment surgery, that is permitted in Minnesota. Listen to this
ad reflect thing both.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
What could be weirder than signing a bill into law
that requires schools to stop tampons in boys' bathrooms, or
weirder than signing legislation allowing miners to receive sex change operations.
Try electing the man who signed those bills vice President
of the United States. Enter chief Weirdo Tim Walls as
(20:24):
governor of Minnesota. Laws supportive legislation that endangers miners, hurts women,
and puts radical ideology ahead of common sense. Now Kamala
wants walls to enforce those laws on a national scale.
Tim walls too weird, too radical.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Okay, I just pretty good adds it's a great ad.
And again I think economy, border and crime needs to
be the focal point. But pointing out some of these
individual decisions, calling him tampon Tim, I think is effective.
And again I just come back to there's a report
out there, Buck. This is from Jackie Heinrich at Fox News.
(21:07):
I want to read this to you because this might
also impact the decision that was made twoday. I'm reading
two sources confirm on background the deciding factor in the
VP's choice was that Senator Fetterman said publicly concern Shapiro's
personal ambitions would cause him to upstage override Harris. The
(21:29):
video Shapiro produced by Philly Mayor Cherrell Parker's team solidified
this sentiment. On Friday, we played that for you, which
was basically a ad from a Philadelphia area saying hey,
which is where the first rally is at five o'clock
Eastern today, saying Hey, this is a great team Shapiro
(21:50):
and Kamala. Shapiro's team is saying they didn't know that
that video had been produced and ahead of time. Again,
that's the argument that they tried to make. But I
think I'm curious what you would say, Buck. If you
are supremely confident in your own talents as president, you
(22:11):
shouldn't be worried that the vice president is going to
upstage you. Trump picked a young guy in jd Vance
that is getting a lot of attention. He's on the trail.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
All the time.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
To me, this is like if Trump would have picked
Doug Berghum, the sort of unthreatening Midwestern guy that a
lot of people are going to ignore. That's what Kamala
did here.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think that any smart politician on the Democrat side
would have also seen what has the relationship been like
with Biden and Kamala very frosty? What has the relationship
been like between Kamala and her staff atrocious? When you
start to see these things, I know that there might
(22:56):
be this impulse to assume, oh, well, none of that
matters when it's talking when you're talking about the presidency
and saving the country. Now you're gonna have to deal
with this person you're gonna have to clean up their message.
You're gonna have to smile as the vice president when
they say dumb things, when they make huge mistakes.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
And this is where I believe it really.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Comes into play that if Trump wins, top Democrats get
to have a real primary and they all get to
shape their own narrative and their own destiny and try
to get the big job their own way, on their
own timetable. So this is why immediately you'll notice the conversation.
As soon as it was Kamala, it shifted away from
(23:37):
any of the names that people had thought would be
the dropped in. You know, whether it's a Michelle Obama
or Gavin.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Newsom or anything.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Nobody who has a political future with the presidency in
their sights was gonna take the VP job for Kamala.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Really, it was.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
All these the best they can do is the VP
under Kamala, right. And so now you look at it,
you say, okay, well that takes out that tear and
Kamala Harris, as much as it sounds, this is specifically
what you're raising, Clay, As much as it sounds crazy,
she doesn't want to be upstaged, she doesn't want somebody
who's a more competent, more likable politician out there.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
The media's narrative.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Is that this is all just Kamala being amazing, you
know what I'm saying. So it makes it harder to
convince everyone kam was amazing. If every time you hear
the vice president's speaking here, you hear her speak, you go, well,
that guy is way more confident than she is.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, and I'm still stugged. I just didn't think that
ultimately she would be this dumb, And maybe the answer
is she is really dumb. I think the other part
of this is she's a chameleon. You know, she'll say
whatever she thinks she needs to say to whatever audience
she is around to be elected. I think the other
(24:56):
part of this is, hey, if they had a great
interpersonal relationship somehow or other. Tim Walton, Kamala Harris had
known each other for years. I do think there's an
element there where you say, hey, I'm going to be
in the fox hole. I want a guy who is
going to be right with me and I know is
going to have my back and all those things. I
would say, to the extent you need marriage advice, that's
(25:19):
probably the number one thing you want in a marital partner,
especially if you're going to have stressful times, as we
all do, somebody who's got your back.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
They don't have a.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Relationship either, Buck, I'm reading I was doing my prep
work here. It's not as if they've known each other
for years, because again I would give a little bit
of leeway to then saying, hey, this is the most
important decision of your life, probably as a politician, that
Kamala will ever have. And so who she selects wanting
somebody who she's really comfortable with, that she has great
(25:51):
rapport with, that she thinks will be a fabulous teammate,
that the one plus one will equal three dynamic, I
could say, okay, that makes Since there's no relationship here either.
So it's not as if she's known Tim Waltz for
twenty five years and she's like, I know this guy,
He's gonna have my back. This is a panicked I
can't pick a Jewish guy fallback. I wonder, also, Buck,
(26:16):
what did they find out about Mark Kelly because he
faded fast. He was the favorite for a while, the
senator from Arizona. If you don't want to go with
Shapiro to me, he's a very clear runner up, unthreatening
astronaut in a border state who just won re election.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Fairly coming to it this way.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Was anyone, including in the Democrat commentariot, saying it was
going to be Tim Waltz a week ago. I did
not see a sin. I mean, his name was percolating
in the background. Nobody was saying, oh, it's Tim Waltz.
So I think this was a last minute move. Also,
I think that there were a number of people in consideration,
and to your point about Mark Kelly, they chose to
(26:58):
go beyond him. Now they'll just say that's because a
Midwestern strategy, it's better to have a Minnesota governor. I
guess that's the way they'd respond to it. But it
wasn't surprise. I actually thought it would be Mark Kelly
because I was always thinking there was the possibility they
would go past Shapiro because of the you know, the
Hamas vote, which the Democrats need so badly.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Uh So we shall see.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
But one thing about Tim Waltz, for sure, Clay, I mean,
this is a guy who looks like he drinks way
too much soy milk. I mean you see him, and
he's he just sort of you know, it kind of
looks like a cabbage patch kid all grown up. The
guy doesn't have the energy, the vitality, the get after
it that he needs.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
And Tampon Tim is his nickname.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
That is the opposite from tampon Tim.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
We got to send Tampon Tim some chalk to get
it all reversed and get it going in the right direction.
Our buddy Tim needs to put down the soy milk,
stop throwing the tampons in the men's bathrooms, and get
some chalk going in his life.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Chalk's male vitality stack contains a leading ingredient, prove it
in studies to replenish twenty percent of diminished testosterone in
men within three months time.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Think about that.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I mean, low t is a big problem for some guys,
and I mean in the case of Tim Waltz, like
maybe no tea. I mean, things are rough. Things are rough,
but there are things you can do. So Clay and
I are nice guys. Maybe we'll hook the governor of
Minnesota up with some free chalk and see, although we'll
do it after he loses the election because we don't
want to help him before then. Choq dot com. That's

got some calls here. Let's take Joe in southern Minnesota.
We got our Minnesota callers lighten us up over Walt.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Let's hear it, Joe, Hey playing Buck.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
You do a good show, Miss Rush, but you do good.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 11 (31:55):
I have that unfortunate distinction of being in little Timmy's
congressional district for all the time he was there, and
for living in the state that he is governor of,
which does a craft job. One of the things I remember,
they Tim walls that he doesn't have a problem with
his Republican counterparts, but the problem is that they're wrong
(32:16):
every damn time. And that is I've heard on on
the radio several times he is you push back on him,
and he just gets belligerent and something you didn't. He's
not for the constituent. He was at a sheriff's convention
something like that, and I know of a sheriff that
went up and recently Minnesota changed its state flag and
(32:40):
the guy said, gee, you could give us a little
money so we could swap these state flags out. And
Tim was good enough to say, I give you guys
enough money and turn around and walk away. So that's
kind of what you're looking at in little.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Timmy, the communists who pretends to be smiling and care
about his neighbors is actually a selfish jerk who doesn't
care about the policies.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
And the destruction sounds.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Right to me. Yeah, thank you for the call.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
And by the way, we want Minnesotans to call in
and give us your feedback eight hundred and two to
two eight a two of what you see and have
seen out there as his representative, and this is we
just heard from Joe right Tom in Ham Lake, Minnesota.
You are a Minnesotan as well. What has your experience
(33:28):
been like? What should we know in the lower forty
nine here? Basically, I guess lower forty eight with catass Alaska,
and from your experience with him as the governor, well, it's.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
We like to call him up here, Kim John Walls.
I think that's for the local radio station. During COVID
especially is uh everything was locked down? I do. I'm
a blue collar worker. I work in the trades that
are on the cities all the time, and how everything
was shut down for so long was absolutely insane that
I when to comes to education, him being a teacher,
(34:02):
they're basically owned by education in Minnesota. The teachers you
ain't up here in this state where just recently within
the last few years, I don't have it in front
of me because of course it's driving. They raised the
retirement age. He's sixty seven years old. So imagine a
teacher with you know, kids, thirty forty kids in a
classroom as one teacher trying to contain all that stuff
(34:24):
along with the lack of discipline that we have up
in these classrooms in public education in Minnesota. That's the
other portion of it. The lack of funding for services
in the state for special education is ridiculous. My wife
is a psychologist in the public school and she has
absolutely no help. It's her as basically the Prince School
and a school of eight hundred and juty kids. It
(34:46):
is just an absolute disaster up here when it comes
to education. And mister Kim John law.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Man, thank you, thank you so much for the call. Claive.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
We've got so many Minnesota calls. I mean not a surprise.
So the callers are not happy with the trajectory of Kim.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
What was it when he called him Tim, Tim jung Waltz, Right.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yeah, Tim jung Waltz. And tampon Tim is, by the way,
the number one trending topic on Twitter x in America
right now. And if you're wondering how tampon Tim became
a thing, it's because Tim Waltz passed a law to
put tampon's in all the boys' bathrooms of Minnesota. I mean,
(35:29):
this is a far left wing, lunatic guy. And the
idea that he would in some way appeal this is
where I just come back to it. I can't believe this.
The idea that he would in some way appeal to
middle class, middle of the road Midwestern voters who are
likely to decide this election is to me laughably absurd.
(35:53):
Speaking of which, JD. Vance is on the road right
now campaigning in the Midwest, Trump's vice presidentidential candidate. He
is now reacting to the selection of Tim Waltz. Will
play some of that audio for you when we come back. Also,
top of the third hour, we're scheduled to speak to
one of the moms of one of the hostages still
(36:15):
being held by Hamas, and there are eight US citizens
currently still being held as we're approaching nearly a year, unfortunately,
over three hundred days that those hostages have been held.
What has that experience been like for the mom of
a hostage and what does she expect and what has
she seen from that process. We will discuss all that
(36:37):
and more with her Buck when we come back for
the third hour. But up next, jd vance teeing off
on Kamala's VP pick. We'll play that for you as
we roll in to hour two.
