Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us, going to dive in
to more of day one of the DNC, but let
me kind of hit you with this. I stayed up
to watch Buck went to bed. I actually think your
decision is worse Buck, because you had to wake up
(00:22):
in the morning and start your day with Joe Biden's speech,
Whereas I watched it and I was like, all right, well,
at least I don't needn't worry about any more of this,
and then I just went to bed right after. I
would rather finish my day with awfulness than start my
day with awfulness.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I clearly disagree because I was drinking my crocket, ready
to dissect the nonsense first thing this morning, and I
got a beautiful night's sleep. I'll tell you something. Never
underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. It's so
bad is acting. And we agree on you all, we
should all go to bed earlier. People need to be
far more serious about getting good sleep. I mean everything
(01:00):
from if you need a white noise machine, the room temperature,
the light control. People just think, oh, I'll just sort
of sleep. No, No, you want. A great night's sleep is
essential for your health, essential for your well being, your immunity.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm just telling you it's very IMpower you're about that.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I did, I believe, did you ever go out until
the sun came up when you were younger?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Liked you, you know, at night jobs or anything. Yeah, you
couldn't pay me to do that. Now miss a night's sleep,
no way.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, I would just have the opportunity to sleep in then,
you know, I'd go to bed at you know, five
am or whatever and sleep not the same, not the same,
probably not the same. That's why I don't want to
get one of those rings that I see all the
cool kids wearing that tell you exactly how good your
sleep was the night before. Like, I think I have
a pretty good sense on a regular basis about it.
(01:47):
I have one of those, Yeah, say, I'm afraid. I
just I don't want to know the data, especially didn't
know what that want to know the data when I
got up at four twenty every morning for about six
years to do early morning radio, which was brutal. But
I thought maybe the most interesting part about the Biden's
speech last night that I was watching was not actually
(02:08):
the lies of which there were many, and I actually
thought Ashley Biden, his daughter, was far better than Joe Biden.
And I don't know how many of you were watching,
but she only spoke for probably six eight minutes something
like that, but it was about Joe Biden as a dad,
which I thought was positive. And look, there are lots
(02:29):
of reasons you can think Joe Biden was not the
dad that she claimed that he was based on the
things that she wrote in her diary. But I actually
thought she spoke pretty well about Joe Biden as a
dad and about her experience, and she introduced him and
as a parent. I can see why that was effective.
(02:49):
But then Joe Biden started talking. And the one thing
that I haven't heard a lot of people discuss buck
is Kamala, to her credit, again to her credit, has
basically abandoned so far the democracy argument. She is not
running around talking about January sixth, She's not spending that
(03:12):
much time talking about trying to put Trump in prison
or seeming to make that the focal point of her campaign.
One reason that I think she's had an effective start.
In addition to the fact that she's getting fawning media
coverage isn't doing interviews, isn't basically answering questions.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
All those things can be true.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
But Biden's insistence that the twenty twenty four race was
going to be a referendum on the future of democracy,
it seems to me, has been pretty soundly rejected by voters.
And if he were still in the race, and make
no mistake, I.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Wish that he was. The speech that he gave last night,
in addition to.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Being screaming in a being, it was like they shot
him up with the drugs again. It wasn't happy Scranton
Joe Chew, Chew writing senator from Delaware. It was a
very angry speech, and I think that's probably because he's
still actually very angry about the fact that he's not
the nominee. But it was very backwards looking. Everything was
(04:22):
about Charlottesville, why he ran. Trump can't be trusted. He's
a unique threat to democracy. Kamala doesn't seem to be
making those arguments. And they did their best prior to Biden,
and they pushed him all the way again to eleven
thirty pm Eastern. They did their best to actually try
(04:42):
and bring in a lot of younger politicians, AOC spoke,
Andy Basher spoke, and they try to make Andy Basheer,
the Democrat governor of Kentucky, into sort of this Opie
Taylor character. For those of you out there that are
the Andy Griffith fans. They try to make him an
aw shucks, really likable guy, and he's not. He's kind
(05:05):
of a loser. He was wrong on everything related to COVID,
and I think, frankly, the people of Kentucky failed on
an epic level to reelect him. Buck has now brought
in a labradoodle to try to curry favor with all
the people watching on our VIP feed, of which, by
(05:26):
the way, we appreciate all of you Clayanbuck dot com.
I'm told that we are adding lots of people who
want to and I don't really understand it watch us
on video. I don't think we're the best looking guys
on the planet. But we appreciate the thousands and thousands
of you every day that are streaming through clayanbuck dot
com and watching the behind the scenes the video version
of this show. But Buck this morning, I don't know
(05:48):
if this was on Morning Joe or not. I think
it might have been a little bit later. They had
Andy Basheer, governor of Kentucky, failed leader of Kentucky, failed
on all things. Covid basically has no more political career
because he's ever going to get elected to any other office.
But he actually went on he's been attacking jd. Vance
and he said, I like for jd Vance to have
(06:09):
to deal with his wife getting raped.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
This is real. Listen to MSNBC earlier this morning.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I mean, think about what some people have had to
go through because of these laws. I mean Jamie Vance
calls pregnancy resulting from rape inconvenient, Like inconvenience is traffic.
I mean it is make him.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Go through this, make him go through this. Okay, Now,
I think this guy's not ready for prime time. I
don't think he's that sharp. I think the only reason
he got elected is because his daddy was governor of Kentucky.
All those things are true, but they're trying to turn
him into some great red state. Hope it's failing. But
maybe you could say, Okay, well he just missmokes, misspoke.
(06:51):
I don't know to be to be frank when you
say I like for someone's wife to get raped and
him have to deal with that. That doesn't seem like
something that you accidentally tiptoe into. But he was asked
he was given an opportunity to take it back and say,
you know, yeah, maybe I don't want jd Vance's wife
(07:12):
to be raped. Seems like, by the way, a pretty
easy thing to say, right, Like, there are lots of
people I disagree with politically. I don't want any of
their wives to get raped. You know, I don't think
that makes me a great human being to say that.
By the way, I don't think the standard of behavior
is so low that I'm a good person for not
wanting my political opponents.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
To get raped. Call me crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He was asked about the comments by Andrea Mitchell. I
think later, is this also MSNBC. I haven't even heard
this yet. I believe this is MSNBC more recent. That
was this morning. This was a little bit later. Here's
what he said.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
What the hell is this? Why is Andy basheer? He
tweeted this out wishing that a member of my family
would get raped. I'm a discussing person. So how do
you respond to that? I mean, well, is that what you?
Of course not.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
It's ridiculous, but it's also deflection. I mean jd Vance
knows that he and Donald Trump are so wrong on
this issue, and so he's trying to make himself the victim. Listen,
Hadley Duval was a victim. The women that were on
the stage last night, the couple that had to go
through a non viable pregnancy are are victims. You know,
as a man, jd. Vance will never have to face
(08:23):
any of this personally. But it's sad that he lacks
the empathy to be able to put himself in a
different position and to understand why having exceptions, having reproductive
freedom is so important in the first place. Obviously, I
never wish harm on anyone. It just again deflection, trying
to make himself and Donald Trump the victims.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
He said I'd like for him to have to deal
with his wife getting raped, and then he won't say
I didn't say it. I mean, I look, this guy
I think is not smart. His dad was the governor,
and everybody out there knows somebody, maybe some of you
(09:07):
have to work for them, who only have their job
because of who their daddy is. That is Andy Basheer,
and they're trying to turn him into some great red
state shining light. And every time he talks, he sounds
like more of a moron. But fuck, I mean to
not even not even acknowledge what you said. I mean,
(09:29):
I've played the audio he said. I'd like for him
to have to deal with it. The only way he
could deal with it is that is if his wife
gets raped.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean, I'm sitting here and the whole time, even
before he said this moronic thing, I'm the state of Kentucky.
What are you doing? So many great people, what are
you doing with this guy as your governor? I know
our listeners in Kentucky are not the ones voting for him.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I hope maybe a few of you.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
But I sit here and this guy is is such
such a joker and such a lightweight, honestly, just a lightweight,
an empty an empty suit. I'm also struck by how
when the Democrats want to talk about abortion, they try
to find people with a extreme medical anomaly and tell
(10:16):
their story and say that, oh, but I why don't
they just present? What's wrong with just presenting? They should
have some career woman who's like, look, you know I
was sleeping with my like seventh or eighth guy that year,
and you know it's my body, my choice, and you
know I didn't use birth control, and I got pregnant.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And I figured, I'm just gonna terminate the pregnancy. You
know what I'm saying. That's what's actually happening.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
By the numbers, the huge numbers are people who get,
you know, pregnant, and don't who choose an abortion, get
pregnant and decide this is inconvenient. I don't want this.
I'm getting an abortion. Instead, they're telling these stories, you know,
the horrific story about a rape, and they're telling a
story about some unspecified medical condition where they.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I'm just did you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
If they want to tell those stories as part of
the overall overall issue around abortion, I would say, all right.
I mean that can happen, and that is something we
have to address and understand. But that's less than one
percent of what we're talking about. Why not just present
the ninety nine percent of abortions, which are women who
are saying, I just don't want to have this baby.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I'm gonna have an abortion. That's what I just I
just can't believe.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm still kind of stunned that he said I want
jd Vance's wife to get raped so he has to
deal with this and then he gets a chance to
clean it up, like, hey, you know, this is what
you said.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Everybody can misspeak, right, Like what he was what he
was going what he would say.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
First of all, he just knows you don't apologize, right,
so he understands that basic rule of politics. So he's
not going to apologize, as you know, because apologizing gets
you nowhere. And I think what he would say, if
you were to talk about it is, you know, if
jad Vans were in the shoes of having a family
member who was raped, I would like to see him
deal with that situation and understand and have empathy for it.
But what he said is I would like for him
(12:03):
to deal with that, which is a very blunt and
kind of shocking way of putting the problem. And obviously,
if jade Vance were a Democrat, I'm sorry if yeah,
you know what I'm saying. If the roles were reversed
and Jade Vance said that about Basher, it would be
five alarm fire. Oh my gosh, he's calling for violence
(12:23):
against Basher's wife or family or something.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
So well we all get that, right.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I mean, this is it's always dishonest when it comes
to these Democrats.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, it's just I just people say dumb things. I
don't think if you say something dumb and it's unintentional,
that it's really an apology, right like you could right thankfully.
I don't think either one of us have said something
so inarticulate, although a lot of you are going to
say you say in articulate things all the time, Yeah,
I appreciate it. I don't think we've said something so
(12:53):
inarticulate that we've gone back and said, Hey, that didn't
come out the way I wanted it to come out
in you know, three plus years on this program might happen. Right,
I'm not gonna apologize for what I believe. But if
I say something inarticulate that doesn't reflect that, I would
just say, hey, that was not a well phrased. That
story would have gone away. I think Vandy Basheer just said, yeah,
(13:14):
I didn't speak well on that. I don't want anything
bad to happen to any member of jd Vance's family
or anybody's family out there. But and then he can
pivot like he's not even willing to say that. I think, again,
this is on you, Kentucky. This guy's a moron. You
re elected him, he was wrong on everything.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
COVID.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think it's a huge failure of the state of Kentucky.
It's the equivalent of the defense that you played on
Christian Latner in the NCAA tournament, that you reelected this guy.
That's going to really sting, and it should. We'll see
some turbulent times ahead, mark my words, and with turbulence
in our midst were likely to see the stock markets
(13:54):
behaving erradically. Owning gold and silver excellent way to diversify
your savings and protect yourself and your hard earned dollars.
Easier than ever to purchase physical gold to hold onto
in your home. Likewise, just as easy to purchase gold
and put it into your four to oh one k
or tax sheltered I ra by the way, gold all
time high. Gold has never cost more than it does
(14:19):
right now. This is I believe yesterday was the all
time high for gold. I'm not sure what the price
of gold has done today, but it has been rolling.
As many people want to diversify given that our federal
government is printing cash like crazy and devaluing the dollar
in the process, more Americans than ever now own gold
or silver. For those who purchased those precious medals over
(14:40):
the last year. You've done really well. Suffice it to
say gold's in demand. Today's price all time high reflects
that value. Our friends at Birch Gold Group make the

Patriots Radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Something interesting that maybe has.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Been a little crowded out of the headlines by the
d NC falsehoods extravaganza. You have a politico and a
bunch of others reporting on this one. Oh, it's a
Reuters interview with Trump where Republican presidential candidates Trump, when
asked in this interview about Elon Musk, he said, quote, He's.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
A very smart guy.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I certainly would give him a cabinet position if he
would do it. I certainly He's a brilliant guy. And
then Elon Musk responded on social media on x the
platform that he owns, and wrote, I am willing to
serve and Clay more specifically, the CEO of Twitter shared
(16:21):
a picture of himself standing behind a podium with the
words Department of Government Efficiency and doge doge etched into it,
which is kind of funny because he obviously also talked
about doge coin years ago the crypto tooken or crypto
coin whatever, Clay, I think Elon Musk as the government
(16:44):
efficiencies are under Trump would be incredible. The only thing
that would make me bummed out about it is that
he wouldn't be running his other companies that are doing
amazing things.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
But we need some we need a shock to the bureaucracy.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yes, yes, I want half of all federal employees fired.
I mean I do, and I don't think that if
you gave the second half fifty percent raises the people
that are actually working, most of the other half would
care about it. I mean, Elon's a great example because
he bought Twitter fired seventy five percent of the employees,
(17:18):
and the site doesn't seem to be working any less
efficiently than it was before. In fact, on the flip side,
maybe better. And I bet a lot of you out
there listening to us right now, whether you have government
or private sector jobs, if you work hard at your job,
you look around at some of the knuckleheads that are
making similar salaries to you, you'd rather make more and
the company would probably be more efficient if you could
(17:40):
do more. At least half of the people in the
federal government could be fired. We wouldn't miss anything. I
would love if we could do it, and what we're
taxes as a result be fabulous.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You know one thing that's really very apparent at the DNC,
there are a lot of guys who are drinking way
too much soy milk and they're walked around link.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Eh, guess I have to vote for Kamela. They don't
have what they need internally.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
They don't have the internal fortitude, the guts, the strength,
the biochemistry of a man on a mission. That's where
chalk comes in. My friends, you don't want to be
one of these democrats who walks around and looks like
he's constantly being told to carry his wife's purse even
if she doesn't need him to.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Okay, you want to be somebody who has all of
the inside strength.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
You need to get through your day. That's where Chalk
comes in.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Welcome back, Clay, Travis, Buck Sexton show appreciate you spending
your Tuesday with us. We are joined by the woman
who should get all of the Pulitzers that were won
by the New York Times and the Washington Posts for
their Russia lies, and instead they should be rebranded Miranda
Divine Awards if she wanted them for everything that she
has done in the New York Post covering all of
the lies of Joe Biden and his family. Joined now
(19:23):
by Miranda Divine herself. Miranda, as all of this stuff
is now getting thrown out there, and you see every
other media outlet beginning to cover in. I read my
eyes almost popped out of my head an editorial in
the New York Times over the weekend saying, oh, Hunter
Biden needs to be charged with a lot of crimes
(19:43):
for violating the Foreign Registry Lobbying Law FARA. And you
know they would would any of these stories ever have
come out at this point if Joe Biden were still
running Or is this just a sign that they're done
protecting him?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
How do you assess based on your reporting?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Yeah, I think the latter that they are done with
protecting him. They've protected him since the beginning of his candidacy.
They lied, They traduced the New York Post, They troduced
Rudy Giuliani and the whistleblowers and everybody else who was
telling the truth about Joe Biden's corruption. James Comer, the
(20:24):
Oversights Committee chairman, has been completely pillaried in his hometown,
and they sent, you know, media operatives from Associated Press
and elsewhere just pretty much camped out there trying to
find dirt on him, to no avail. So you know,
this has been a complete media protection campaign. Let alone
(20:45):
the CIA, the DOJ, the irs, who've all protected the Bidens.
But now that Joe Biden is no longer a candidate,
they're going to just seamlessly, as you saw with the
New York Times, just move on to normal reporting, as
if this is a normal story that's just suddenly emerged.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Miranda, I saw a tweet and I wanted to have
you break this down for us a little bit. You're
looking at the issue of this election and some of
the let's just say, possible pitfalls or fraud that could
happen here.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
This was in your tweet.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Alabama found over three thousand illegal aliens on their voter rolls.
What is happening in PA, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona will
never know because they're run by Democrats. Trump lost by
forty five thousand votes in a handful of states last time.
Biden Harris have led in twelve to eighteen million illegals
(21:42):
in their administration. They are giving them Social Security numbers. Okay,
there's a lot here. I mean, let's start with Alabama
fighting over three thousand illegals on their voter rolls. Why
is a single illegal on the voter rules?
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Well, I mean, that's very good question, and it's also
something that we were told wasn't happening. We're still being
told by Democrats and their allied media that there's no way.
This is just a maga conspiracy theory that illegal aliens
are voting because it's illegal, So of course they're not
going to do it. I mean, these are people whose
(22:20):
very first act on coming into the United States was
to commit a crime, was to cross the border illegally.
So I don't think the fact that there's a law
saying it's illegal, that it is never prosecuted or very
rarely prosecuted, is going to dissuade them from doing what
democratic operatives are encouraging them to do. So I started
(22:44):
looking at this because actually, Maria Bartiroma just texted me
on the weekend and she said that a friend of
hers had sent her this really disturbing text about trying
to This was in Texas, trying to get her six
year old son to get a driving test at the
local DMV in Fort Worth and they were booked out
(23:05):
the months ahead, so she went to various other DMVs
and finally she was set up and she's just got
in the car and went to her to one of
these DMBs and found that there was a huge queue
of illegal aliens who were getting drivers' licenses. They can
get social Security numbers and drivers' licenses, and then there
(23:27):
were NGOs outside the DMBs with little tables set up
to help them register, encouraging them all to register to vote.
So if you are not allowed to vote, why would
they want to register them to vote. There's a kind
of disconnect there. And then the other piece of the
puzzle that you need to understand is that there are
(23:47):
only three states that require citizenship proof of citizenship to vote,
so really there are just no guardrails.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Also work noting, as my sixteen year old told me
last night we were watching the DNC, they have extensive
security apparatus that requires you to prevent present a ID
in order to get into the DNC. Right you have
to have a photo ID extensively documenting your past in
order to be able to access the DNC itself, which
(24:20):
is of course very interesting. Miranda, I also saw this
and it was on the front page of the New
York Times. They have accelerated the rate at which they
are swearing in new citizens to.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
A I believe it was a fifteen year high.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
They are trying to get as many people sworn in
as fast as they can the minute that they're being
sworn in. Left wing media, left wing voter advocacy groups
are there to make sure that everybody gets registered again.
It's on the front page of the New York Times.
They don't talk about it for the immediate political ramifications.
(25:00):
But isn't that a sign of them pulling out all
the stops to get as many people as possible that
they think is going to be on their side in
I mean, to do a fifteen year high of citizenship
of swearing sens this fall is pretty crazy.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Yes, it really is. Rather a coincidence, isn't it. And
it's just so typical that, you know, federal government, which
is so incredibly incompetent at everything else, suddenly he manages
to be really good when it suits the powers that be,
whether it's collecting taxes or signing us people to vote
and or to become citizens new citizens so that they'll
(25:39):
vote for the Democrats. And you know, behind a lot
of really nefarious happenings in this country at the moment
is one man, Alexandra at Mayorcus and he's of course,
the DHS secretary, and when you look at censorship, you
look at the illegal alien invasion that he has ushered
(26:01):
in and then sort of secreted all these illegal migrants
across the country by flying them in, flying them from
the border and in fact from across the border to
a community near you, so that people don't notice how
many millions of illegals there are here. And then Mayorcis
also is in charge of the Secret Service. So really,
(26:25):
whenever you look at something that's going really badly awry
in this country, there's one man behind it very often.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Miranda, you put out again the estimate here for Biden's
border of twelve to eighteen million.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I'm just wondering if you could walk us through.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I think they admit by their own numbers to ten, right,
but give me your set, because first of all, whether
it's twelve or eighteen is jaw dropping. It's the most
we've ever seen that are permit in illegals, meaning they're
not trying. You know, people talk about the nineties, and
I've spoken to border patrol about this. Some of the
numbers were guys who would actually go back and forth
(27:09):
to Mexico many times, and there were single adult males
who were coming to work and going back, coming to
work and going back. These are people that are planning
to stay forever. But that twelve to eighteen million estimate,
how do you you know, what would mean we're at
the high end, what would mean we're at the low end.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Well, I mean, even if there were only eight million,
it's still on absolute crisis. But the numbers are much
larger than what they're saying because they don't account to
the gotaways and the Godwaves are just you know, often
their cartel gang members, people with criminal records, you know, pedophiles, psychopaths, gangsters, murderers, terrorists.
(27:49):
We know that there have been dozens of terrorists, including
ISIS terrorists that have actually been apprehended, but that's if
you're a terrorist, you don't want to be apprehended. So
they know. Border patrol has some idea about god Aways,
and Bill Malusion from Fox News is very good on this,
just by footprints and infrared cameras and so on, but
(28:12):
no one really knows how many there are. And now
that the border is actually controlled by the cartels and
it's so vast, I mean, the poor border patrol people
are held up babysitting and doing sort of bureaucracy rather
than actually stopping these people coming across the border. And
(28:33):
you know, everybody knows that Joe Biden unwound all of
Donald Trump's border protection measures on day one. With these
executive orders. He could easily at any time in the
last three and a half years have written new executive
orders unwinding He's unwinding, and he hasn't done that. And
instead they're pretending they need Congress to act. And that,
(28:55):
I think is how Kamala Harris is trying to frame
her culpability as the borders are as some sort of virtue.
Now she's pretending that she's tougher on the border than
than Donald Trump. The numbers things for themselves.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Miranda, you have covered politics for a while. Again, I
encourage you guys to go follow Miranda. I love all
the work she does with the New York Post. I
also think New York Post is the best newspaper in
America in terms of being fun and write on most issues. Now,
I like the Wall Street Journal the most, Miranda, But
you guys are number two on my favorites list. But
(29:35):
how unbelievable is Kamala Harris' ascension and the fact that
even with this crazy ascension to the nomination, she has
not talked to anyone in media. Contextualize this based on
your experience. How extraordinary the times that we are in
right now as it pertains to what the Democrats are
(29:57):
trying to do.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Well, And it's a whole new playbook. I guess really,
Joe Biden began it, and the pandemic allowed him that
latitude to run a basement campaign and hide from the media,
and it worked so well they won the election. So
of course they're going to do it again. And instead
(30:19):
of having a fenile candidate as Joe Biden obviously was
back in twenty nineteen to anyone who observed him in
action in Iowa and New Hampshire, they now have a
candidate who really is not good on her feet. She's
not good at stringing together arguments, and she gets very
nervous and high pitched, and she's just terrible. And so
(30:41):
they've decided that they're going to hide her away because
they got away with it with Joe Biden, and I
think they'll get away with it now because the media
is not really complaining and the public doesn't really know
that this is out of the ordinary, and so what
you're seeing is images of Kamala Harris, who is attractive,
she looks dignified, she's well dressed, she's always smiling and
(31:05):
looking joyful. And the few words that she says, like
last night at the convention when she just came on
for a minute and a half and I just spoke
about love and how you know, we should be unite
and there's more that joins us together than divides us.
People want to hear that. People want to feel good.
(31:26):
They don't want to feel angry and aggrieved. And you know,
I do think that there is a danger that Kamala Harris,
as awful a candidate as she is, as repellent as
her policies are, I think that Republicans are banking too
much on the debate being the sort of eye opener
(31:47):
for the American voter. I think that potentially she will
get the questions because her best friend is a senior
executive at ABC, and the Democrats did this before with
Donna Brazil, and so she's quite good at the teleprompter.
She'll memorize some answers and if she doesn't completely fail,
(32:08):
because the expectations are now held so low for her,
then it'll be chalked up as a huge victory and
she'll coast that with no other scrutiny to the elections.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I agree with everything Miranda is saying about that, which
is a little depressing, but I think she's right. Miranda Devine,
New York Post columnists, Laptop from Hell author, Miranda, always
appreciate you making the time for us.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Thanks clam Buck.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Recall for a moment if you can, the video clips
you've seen of President Reagan speaking back in the day,
and do you remember that soaring feeling that she had
when our nation was in good hands. Well, a new
movie comes to theaters next Friday, just in time for
a Labor Day, that will help those memories flood back
to your mind. It's called Reagan, and it stars Dennis
Quaid as the President. He's done a brilliant job of
(32:59):
RecQ creating that, folks, the style of President Reagan, including
the jokes, the twinkle in the eye, the optimism, and
most of all, enduring love for his country. If you're
gonna get a full history lesson on American politics, fighting communism, culture,
here in America and most importantly, witness one man's pursuit
of what's right for this country.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Uh, you got to check out Reagan.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
And while you're watching this movie, you cannot help but
notice the parallels to what candidate Reagan dealt with in
nineteen seventy nine when he was running for office, to
what life is like today forty five years later, to
al BNN Miller's The actress playing Nancy Reagan does a
great performance. You get a true sense of their love
story and the first lady's encouragement toward President Reagan. See
him and help him persevere in the fight for the

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Interesting story
worth following. You guys know, I like to watch the
gambling markets right now. Head to head, Trump and Kamala
Harris tied at forty nine percent, So basically it's a
dead heat from a gambling market perspective. But buck today,
(34:27):
this morning, there has suddenly been a surge and the
chances that RFK Junior is going to drop out of
the race odds percentages are up to eighty percent. I
just shared it that RFK Junior is going to drop
out of the race. Some of you out there are
gonna say, Okay, what does this mean? Usually the story
(34:50):
follows the money. In other words, there is a lot
of talk out there that RFK Junior might be dropping out,
and that if he drops out, would be endorsing Trump,
which is also impacting the overall presidential odds market.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That would help in two ways. One, I think it
would bring some votes to Trump from RFK, but it
also would stop pulling and the latest data shows it,
and RFK Junior has said it himself. It would stop
pulling more votes from Trump. So it's kind of a
double whemmie in a good way. Right, You stop siphoning
(35:28):
off Trump votes and you might not only get those back,
but you get an addition of RFK Junior voters who
may have gone Democrat. Right, So you can see how
this would would help things out. Look, I'm confident Trump wins,
but it's not going to be a blowout, okay, I
mean Trump's Trump's not going to win by five or
ten million votes or something. In the overall, It's going
(35:50):
to come down to the key states, as we have
said all along, and it's really for all this talk
we have about policy and records and connection and charisma
and the candidates, the on the ground vote operations may
actually be king when all is said and done. So
I certainly hope that the RNC is up to the challenge.
(36:12):
The Trump campaign is up to the challenge. We haven't
even talked much Clay about the Senate races and some
of the very important house races that are up. But
with the dropout of Biden, there was a surge as
well for some of these Democrats. The down ballot damage
was taken off the board a little bit. Now, I
(36:33):
think Republicans are still in good shape. But it's going
to be tight. Montana is going to be tight. Pennsylvania's
looking tough for our buddy Dave McCormick, Wisconsin's looking tough
for Eric Hovedy. I mean, they're in it, but it's
going to be a fight to the finish.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
RFK Junior dropping out and endorsing Trump during the Democrat
National Convention would be a huge win for Trump. Odds
markets are saying it may be happen
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us, going to dive in
to more of day one of the DNC, but let
me kind of hit you with this. I stayed up
to watch Buck went to bed. I actually think your
decision is worse Buck, because you had to wake up
(00:22):
in the morning and start your day with Joe Biden's speech,
Whereas I watched it and I was like, all right, well,
at least I don't needn't worry about any more of this,
and then I just went to bed right after. I
would rather finish my day with awfulness than start my
day with awfulness.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I clearly disagree because I was drinking my crocket, ready
to dissect the nonsense first thing this morning, and I
got a beautiful night's sleep. I'll tell you something. Never
underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. It's so
bad is acting. And we agree on you all, we
should all go to bed earlier. People need to be
far more serious about getting good sleep. I mean everything
(01:00):
from if you need a white noise machine, the room temperature,
the light control. People just think, oh, I'll just sort
of sleep. No, No, you want. A great night's sleep is
essential for your health, essential for your well being, your immunity.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm just telling you it's very IMpower you're about that.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I did, I believe, did you ever go out until
the sun came up when you were younger?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Liked you, you know, at night jobs or anything. Yeah, you
couldn't pay me to do that. Now miss a night's sleep,
no way.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, I would just have the opportunity to sleep in then,
you know, I'd go to bed at you know, five
am or whatever and sleep not the same, not the same,
probably not the same. That's why I don't want to
get one of those rings that I see all the
cool kids wearing that tell you exactly how good your
sleep was the night before. Like, I think I have
a pretty good sense on a regular basis about it.
(01:47):
I have one of those, Yeah, say, I'm afraid. I
just I don't want to know the data, especially didn't
know what that want to know the data when I
got up at four twenty every morning for about six
years to do early morning radio, which was brutal. But
I thought maybe the most interesting part about the Biden's
speech last night that I was watching was not actually
(02:08):
the lies of which there were many, and I actually
thought Ashley Biden, his daughter, was far better than Joe Biden.
And I don't know how many of you were watching,
but she only spoke for probably six eight minutes something
like that, but it was about Joe Biden as a dad,
which I thought was positive. And look, there are lots
(02:29):
of reasons you can think Joe Biden was not the
dad that she claimed that he was based on the
things that she wrote in her diary. But I actually
thought she spoke pretty well about Joe Biden as a
dad and about her experience, and she introduced him and
as a parent. I can see why that was effective.
(02:49):
But then Joe Biden started talking. And the one thing
that I haven't heard a lot of people discuss buck
is Kamala, to her credit, again to her credit, has
basically abandoned so far the democracy argument. She is not
running around talking about January sixth, She's not spending that
(03:12):
much time talking about trying to put Trump in prison
or seeming to make that the focal point of her campaign.
One reason that I think she's had an effective start.
In addition to the fact that she's getting fawning media
coverage isn't doing interviews, isn't basically answering questions.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
All those things can be true.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
But Biden's insistence that the twenty twenty four race was
going to be a referendum on the future of democracy,
it seems to me, has been pretty soundly rejected by voters.
And if he were still in the race, and make
no mistake, I.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Wish that he was. The speech that he gave last night,
in addition to.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Being screaming in a being, it was like they shot
him up with the drugs again. It wasn't happy Scranton
Joe Chew, Chew writing senator from Delaware. It was a
very angry speech, and I think that's probably because he's
still actually very angry about the fact that he's not
the nominee. But it was very backwards looking. Everything was
(04:22):
about Charlottesville, why he ran. Trump can't be trusted. He's
a unique threat to democracy. Kamala doesn't seem to be
making those arguments. And they did their best prior to Biden,
and they pushed him all the way again to eleven
thirty pm Eastern. They did their best to actually try
(04:42):
and bring in a lot of younger politicians, AOC spoke,
Andy Basher spoke, and they try to make Andy Basheer,
the Democrat governor of Kentucky, into sort of this Opie
Taylor character. For those of you out there that are
the Andy Griffith fans. They try to make him an
aw shucks, really likable guy, and he's not. He's kind
(05:05):
of a loser. He was wrong on everything related to COVID,
and I think, frankly, the people of Kentucky failed on
an epic level to reelect him. Buck has now brought
in a labradoodle to try to curry favor with all
the people watching on our VIP feed, of which, by
(05:26):
the way, we appreciate all of you Clayanbuck dot com.
I'm told that we are adding lots of people who
want to and I don't really understand it watch us
on video. I don't think we're the best looking guys
on the planet. But we appreciate the thousands and thousands
of you every day that are streaming through clayanbuck dot
com and watching the behind the scenes the video version
of this show. But Buck this morning, I don't know
(05:48):
if this was on Morning Joe or not. I think
it might have been a little bit later. They had
Andy Basheer, governor of Kentucky, failed leader of Kentucky, failed
on all things. Covid basically has no more political career
because he's ever going to get elected to any other office.
But he actually went on he's been attacking jd. Vance
and he said, I like for jd Vance to have
(06:09):
to deal with his wife getting raped.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
This is real. Listen to MSNBC earlier this morning.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I mean, think about what some people have had to
go through because of these laws. I mean Jamie Vance
calls pregnancy resulting from rape inconvenient, Like inconvenience is traffic.
I mean it is make him.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Go through this, make him go through this. Okay, Now,
I think this guy's not ready for prime time. I
don't think he's that sharp. I think the only reason
he got elected is because his daddy was governor of Kentucky.
All those things are true, but they're trying to turn
him into some great red state. Hope it's failing. But
maybe you could say, Okay, well he just missmokes, misspoke.
(06:51):
I don't know to be to be frank when you
say I like for someone's wife to get raped and
him have to deal with that. That doesn't seem like
something that you accidentally tiptoe into. But he was asked
he was given an opportunity to take it back and say,
you know, yeah, maybe I don't want jd Vance's wife
(07:12):
to be raped. Seems like, by the way, a pretty
easy thing to say, right, Like, there are lots of
people I disagree with politically. I don't want any of
their wives to get raped. You know, I don't think
that makes me a great human being to say that.
By the way, I don't think the standard of behavior
is so low that I'm a good person for not
wanting my political opponents.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
To get raped. Call me crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He was asked about the comments by Andrea Mitchell. I
think later, is this also MSNBC. I haven't even heard
this yet. I believe this is MSNBC more recent. That
was this morning. This was a little bit later. Here's
what he said.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
What the hell is this? Why is Andy basheer? He
tweeted this out wishing that a member of my family
would get raped. I'm a discussing person. So how do
you respond to that? I mean, well, is that what you?
Of course not.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
It's ridiculous, but it's also deflection. I mean jd Vance
knows that he and Donald Trump are so wrong on
this issue, and so he's trying to make himself the victim. Listen,
Hadley Duval was a victim. The women that were on
the stage last night, the couple that had to go
through a non viable pregnancy are are victims. You know,
as a man, jd. Vance will never have to face
(08:23):
any of this personally. But it's sad that he lacks
the empathy to be able to put himself in a
different position and to understand why having exceptions, having reproductive
freedom is so important in the first place. Obviously, I
never wish harm on anyone. It just again deflection, trying
to make himself and Donald Trump the victims.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
He said I'd like for him to have to deal
with his wife getting raped, and then he won't say
I didn't say it. I mean, I look, this guy
I think is not smart. His dad was the governor,
and everybody out there knows somebody, maybe some of you
(09:07):
have to work for them, who only have their job
because of who their daddy is. That is Andy Basheer,
and they're trying to turn him into some great red
state shining light. And every time he talks, he sounds
like more of a moron. But fuck, I mean to
not even not even acknowledge what you said. I mean,
(09:29):
I've played the audio he said. I'd like for him
to have to deal with it. The only way he
could deal with it is that is if his wife
gets raped.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean, I'm sitting here and the whole time, even
before he said this moronic thing, I'm the state of Kentucky.
What are you doing? So many great people, what are
you doing with this guy as your governor? I know
our listeners in Kentucky are not the ones voting for him.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I hope maybe a few of you.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
But I sit here and this guy is is such
such a joker and such a lightweight, honestly, just a lightweight,
an empty an empty suit. I'm also struck by how
when the Democrats want to talk about abortion, they try
to find people with a extreme medical anomaly and tell
(10:16):
their story and say that, oh, but I why don't
they just present? What's wrong with just presenting? They should
have some career woman who's like, look, you know I
was sleeping with my like seventh or eighth guy that year,
and you know it's my body, my choice, and you
know I didn't use birth control, and I got pregnant.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And I figured, I'm just gonna terminate the pregnancy. You
know what I'm saying. That's what's actually happening.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
By the numbers, the huge numbers are people who get,
you know, pregnant, and don't who choose an abortion, get
pregnant and decide this is inconvenient. I don't want this.
I'm getting an abortion. Instead, they're telling these stories, you know,
the horrific story about a rape, and they're telling a
story about some unspecified medical condition where they.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I'm just did you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
If they want to tell those stories as part of
the overall overall issue around abortion, I would say, all right.
I mean that can happen, and that is something we
have to address and understand. But that's less than one
percent of what we're talking about. Why not just present
the ninety nine percent of abortions, which are women who
are saying, I just don't want to have this baby.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I'm gonna have an abortion. That's what I just I
just can't believe.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm still kind of stunned that he said I want
jd Vance's wife to get raped so he has to
deal with this and then he gets a chance to
clean it up, like, hey, you know, this is what
you said.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Everybody can misspeak, right, Like what he was what he
was going what he would say.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
First of all, he just knows you don't apologize, right,
so he understands that basic rule of politics. So he's
not going to apologize, as you know, because apologizing gets
you nowhere. And I think what he would say, if
you were to talk about it is, you know, if
jad Vans were in the shoes of having a family
member who was raped, I would like to see him
deal with that situation and understand and have empathy for it.
But what he said is I would like for him
(12:03):
to deal with that, which is a very blunt and
kind of shocking way of putting the problem. And obviously,
if jade Vance were a Democrat, I'm sorry if yeah,
you know what I'm saying. If the roles were reversed
and Jade Vance said that about Basher, it would be
five alarm fire. Oh my gosh, he's calling for violence
(12:23):
against Basher's wife or family or something.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
So well we all get that, right.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I mean, this is it's always dishonest when it comes
to these Democrats.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, it's just I just people say dumb things. I
don't think if you say something dumb and it's unintentional,
that it's really an apology, right like you could right thankfully.
I don't think either one of us have said something
so inarticulate, although a lot of you are going to
say you say in articulate things all the time, Yeah,
I appreciate it. I don't think we've said something so
(12:53):
inarticulate that we've gone back and said, Hey, that didn't
come out the way I wanted it to come out
in you know, three plus years on this program might happen. Right,
I'm not gonna apologize for what I believe. But if
I say something inarticulate that doesn't reflect that, I would
just say, hey, that was not a well phrased. That
story would have gone away. I think Vandy Basheer just said, yeah,
(13:14):
I didn't speak well on that. I don't want anything
bad to happen to any member of jd Vance's family
or anybody's family out there. But and then he can
pivot like he's not even willing to say that. I think, again,
this is on you, Kentucky. This guy's a moron. You
re elected him, he was wrong on everything.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
COVID.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think it's a huge failure of the state of Kentucky.
It's the equivalent of the defense that you played on
Christian Latner in the NCAA tournament, that you reelected this guy.
That's going to really sting, and it should. We'll see
some turbulent times ahead, mark my words, and with turbulence
in our midst were likely to see the stock markets
(13:54):
behaving erradically. Owning gold and silver excellent way to diversify
your savings and protect yourself and your hard earned dollars.
Easier than ever to purchase physical gold to hold onto
in your home. Likewise, just as easy to purchase gold
and put it into your four to oh one k
or tax sheltered I ra by the way, gold all
time high. Gold has never cost more than it does
(14:19):
right now. This is I believe yesterday was the all
time high for gold. I'm not sure what the price
of gold has done today, but it has been rolling.
As many people want to diversify given that our federal
government is printing cash like crazy and devaluing the dollar
in the process, more Americans than ever now own gold
or silver. For those who purchased those precious medals over
(14:40):
the last year. You've done really well. Suffice it to
say gold's in demand. Today's price all time high reflects
that value. Our friends at Birch Gold Group make the

Patriots Radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Something interesting that maybe has.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Been a little crowded out of the headlines by the
d NC falsehoods extravaganza. You have a politico and a
bunch of others reporting on this one. Oh, it's a
Reuters interview with Trump where Republican presidential candidates Trump, when
asked in this interview about Elon Musk, he said, quote, He's.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
A very smart guy.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I certainly would give him a cabinet position if he
would do it. I certainly He's a brilliant guy. And
then Elon Musk responded on social media on x the
platform that he owns, and wrote, I am willing to
serve and Clay more specifically, the CEO of Twitter shared
(16:21):
a picture of himself standing behind a podium with the
words Department of Government Efficiency and doge doge etched into it,
which is kind of funny because he obviously also talked
about doge coin years ago the crypto tooken or crypto
coin whatever, Clay, I think Elon Musk as the government
(16:44):
efficiencies are under Trump would be incredible. The only thing
that would make me bummed out about it is that
he wouldn't be running his other companies that are doing
amazing things.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
But we need some we need a shock to the bureaucracy.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yes, yes, I want half of all federal employees fired.
I mean I do, and I don't think that if
you gave the second half fifty percent raises the people
that are actually working, most of the other half would
care about it. I mean, Elon's a great example because
he bought Twitter fired seventy five percent of the employees,
(17:18):
and the site doesn't seem to be working any less
efficiently than it was before. In fact, on the flip side,
maybe better. And I bet a lot of you out
there listening to us right now, whether you have government
or private sector jobs, if you work hard at your job,
you look around at some of the knuckleheads that are
making similar salaries to you, you'd rather make more and
the company would probably be more efficient if you could
(17:40):
do more. At least half of the people in the
federal government could be fired. We wouldn't miss anything. I
would love if we could do it, and what we're
taxes as a result be fabulous.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You know one thing that's really very apparent at the DNC,
there are a lot of guys who are drinking way
too much soy milk and they're walked around link.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Eh, guess I have to vote for Kamela. They don't
have what they need internally.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
They don't have the internal fortitude, the guts, the strength,
the biochemistry of a man on a mission. That's where
chalk comes in. My friends, you don't want to be
one of these democrats who walks around and looks like
he's constantly being told to carry his wife's purse even
if she doesn't need him to.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Welcome back, Clay, Travis, Buck Sexton show appreciate you spending
your Tuesday with us. We are joined by the woman
who should get all of the Pulitzers that were won
by the New York Times and the Washington Posts for
their Russia lies, and instead they should be rebranded Miranda
Divine Awards if she wanted them for everything that she
has done in the New York Post covering all of
the lies of Joe Biden and his family. Joined now
(19:23):
by Miranda Divine herself. Miranda, as all of this stuff
is now getting thrown out there, and you see every
other media outlet beginning to cover in. I read my
eyes almost popped out of my head an editorial in
the New York Times over the weekend saying, oh, Hunter
Biden needs to be charged with a lot of crimes
(19:43):
for violating the Foreign Registry Lobbying Law FARA. And you
know they would would any of these stories ever have
come out at this point if Joe Biden were still
running Or is this just a sign that they're done
protecting him?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
How do you assess based on your reporting?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Yeah, I think the latter that they are done with
protecting him. They've protected him since the beginning of his candidacy.
They lied, They traduced the New York Post, They troduced
Rudy Giuliani and the whistleblowers and everybody else who was
telling the truth about Joe Biden's corruption. James Comer, the
(20:24):
Oversights Committee chairman, has been completely pillaried in his hometown,
and they sent, you know, media operatives from Associated Press
and elsewhere just pretty much camped out there trying to
find dirt on him, to no avail. So you know,
this has been a complete media protection campaign. Let alone
(20:45):
the CIA, the DOJ, the irs, who've all protected the Bidens.
But now that Joe Biden is no longer a candidate,
they're going to just seamlessly, as you saw with the
New York Times, just move on to normal reporting, as
if this is a normal story that's just suddenly emerged.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Miranda, I saw a tweet and I wanted to have
you break this down for us a little bit. You're
looking at the issue of this election and some of
the let's just say, possible pitfalls or fraud that could
happen here.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
This was in your tweet.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Alabama found over three thousand illegal aliens on their voter rolls.
What is happening in PA, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona will
never know because they're run by Democrats. Trump lost by
forty five thousand votes in a handful of states last time.
Biden Harris have led in twelve to eighteen million illegals
(21:42):
in their administration. They are giving them Social Security numbers. Okay,
there's a lot here. I mean, let's start with Alabama
fighting over three thousand illegals on their voter rolls. Why
is a single illegal on the voter rules?
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Well, I mean, that's very good question, and it's also
something that we were told wasn't happening. We're still being
told by Democrats and their allied media that there's no way.
This is just a maga conspiracy theory that illegal aliens
are voting because it's illegal, So of course they're not
going to do it. I mean, these are people whose
(22:20):
very first act on coming into the United States was
to commit a crime, was to cross the border illegally.
So I don't think the fact that there's a law
saying it's illegal, that it is never prosecuted or very
rarely prosecuted, is going to dissuade them from doing what
democratic operatives are encouraging them to do. So I started
(22:44):
looking at this because actually, Maria Bartiroma just texted me
on the weekend and she said that a friend of
hers had sent her this really disturbing text about trying
to This was in Texas, trying to get her six
year old son to get a driving test at the
local DMV in Fort Worth and they were booked out
(23:05):
the months ahead, so she went to various other DMVs
and finally she was set up and she's just got
in the car and went to her to one of
these DMBs and found that there was a huge queue
of illegal aliens who were getting drivers' licenses. They can
get social Security numbers and drivers' licenses, and then there
(23:27):
were NGOs outside the DMBs with little tables set up
to help them register, encouraging them all to register to vote.
So if you are not allowed to vote, why would
they want to register them to vote. There's a kind
of disconnect there. And then the other piece of the
puzzle that you need to understand is that there are
(23:47):
only three states that require citizenship proof of citizenship to vote,
so really there are just no guardrails.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Also work noting, as my sixteen year old told me
last night we were watching the DNC, they have extensive
security apparatus that requires you to prevent present a ID
in order to get into the DNC. Right you have
to have a photo ID extensively documenting your past in
order to be able to access the DNC itself, which
(24:20):
is of course very interesting. Miranda, I also saw this
and it was on the front page of the New
York Times. They have accelerated the rate at which they
are swearing in new citizens to.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
A I believe it was a fifteen year high.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
They are trying to get as many people sworn in
as fast as they can the minute that they're being
sworn in. Left wing media, left wing voter advocacy groups
are there to make sure that everybody gets registered again.
It's on the front page of the New York Times.
They don't talk about it for the immediate political ramifications.
(25:00):
But isn't that a sign of them pulling out all
the stops to get as many people as possible that
they think is going to be on their side in
I mean, to do a fifteen year high of citizenship
of swearing sens this fall is pretty crazy.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Yes, it really is. Rather a coincidence, isn't it. And
it's just so typical that, you know, federal government, which
is so incredibly incompetent at everything else, suddenly he manages
to be really good when it suits the powers that be,
whether it's collecting taxes or signing us people to vote
and or to become citizens new citizens so that they'll
(25:39):
vote for the Democrats. And you know, behind a lot
of really nefarious happenings in this country at the moment
is one man, Alexandra at Mayorcus and he's of course,
the DHS secretary, and when you look at censorship, you
look at the illegal alien invasion that he has ushered
(26:01):
in and then sort of secreted all these illegal migrants
across the country by flying them in, flying them from
the border and in fact from across the border to
a community near you, so that people don't notice how
many millions of illegals there are here. And then Mayorcis
also is in charge of the Secret Service. So really,
(26:25):
whenever you look at something that's going really badly awry
in this country, there's one man behind it very often.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Miranda, you put out again the estimate here for Biden's
border of twelve to eighteen million.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I'm just wondering if you could walk us through.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I think they admit by their own numbers to ten, right,
but give me your set, because first of all, whether
it's twelve or eighteen is jaw dropping. It's the most
we've ever seen that are permit in illegals, meaning they're
not trying. You know, people talk about the nineties, and
I've spoken to border patrol about this. Some of the
numbers were guys who would actually go back and forth
(27:09):
to Mexico many times, and there were single adult males
who were coming to work and going back, coming to
work and going back. These are people that are planning
to stay forever. But that twelve to eighteen million estimate,
how do you you know, what would mean we're at
the high end, what would mean we're at the low end.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Well, I mean, even if there were only eight million,
it's still on absolute crisis. But the numbers are much
larger than what they're saying because they don't account to
the gotaways and the Godwaves are just you know, often
their cartel gang members, people with criminal records, you know, pedophiles, psychopaths, gangsters, murderers, terrorists.
(27:49):
We know that there have been dozens of terrorists, including
ISIS terrorists that have actually been apprehended, but that's if
you're a terrorist, you don't want to be apprehended. So
they know. Border patrol has some idea about god Aways,
and Bill Malusion from Fox News is very good on this,
just by footprints and infrared cameras and so on, but
(28:12):
no one really knows how many there are. And now
that the border is actually controlled by the cartels and
it's so vast, I mean, the poor border patrol people
are held up babysitting and doing sort of bureaucracy rather
than actually stopping these people coming across the border. And
(28:33):
you know, everybody knows that Joe Biden unwound all of
Donald Trump's border protection measures on day one. With these
executive orders. He could easily at any time in the
last three and a half years have written new executive
orders unwinding He's unwinding, and he hasn't done that. And
instead they're pretending they need Congress to act. And that,
(28:55):
I think is how Kamala Harris is trying to frame
her culpability as the borders are as some sort of virtue.
Now she's pretending that she's tougher on the border than
than Donald Trump. The numbers things for themselves.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Miranda, you have covered politics for a while. Again, I
encourage you guys to go follow Miranda. I love all
the work she does with the New York Post. I
also think New York Post is the best newspaper in
America in terms of being fun and write on most issues. Now,
I like the Wall Street Journal the most, Miranda, But
you guys are number two on my favorites list. But
(29:35):
how unbelievable is Kamala Harris' ascension and the fact that
even with this crazy ascension to the nomination, she has
not talked to anyone in media. Contextualize this based on
your experience. How extraordinary the times that we are in
right now as it pertains to what the Democrats are
(29:57):
trying to do.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Well, And it's a whole new playbook. I guess really,
Joe Biden began it, and the pandemic allowed him that
latitude to run a basement campaign and hide from the media,
and it worked so well they won the election. So
of course they're going to do it again. And instead
(30:19):
of having a fenile candidate as Joe Biden obviously was
back in twenty nineteen to anyone who observed him in
action in Iowa and New Hampshire, they now have a
candidate who really is not good on her feet. She's
not good at stringing together arguments, and she gets very
nervous and high pitched, and she's just terrible. And so
(30:41):
they've decided that they're going to hide her away because
they got away with it with Joe Biden, and I
think they'll get away with it now because the media
is not really complaining and the public doesn't really know
that this is out of the ordinary, and so what
you're seeing is images of Kamala Harris, who is attractive,
she looks dignified, she's well dressed, she's always smiling and
(31:05):
looking joyful. And the few words that she says, like
last night at the convention when she just came on
for a minute and a half and I just spoke
about love and how you know, we should be unite
and there's more that joins us together than divides us.
People want to hear that. People want to feel good.
(31:26):
They don't want to feel angry and aggrieved. And you know,
I do think that there is a danger that Kamala Harris,
as awful a candidate as she is, as repellent as
her policies are, I think that Republicans are banking too
much on the debate being the sort of eye opener
(31:47):
for the American voter. I think that potentially she will
get the questions because her best friend is a senior
executive at ABC, and the Democrats did this before with
Donna Brazil, and so she's quite good at the teleprompter.
She'll memorize some answers and if she doesn't completely fail,
(32:08):
because the expectations are now held so low for her,
then it'll be chalked up as a huge victory and
she'll coast that with no other scrutiny to the elections.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I agree with everything Miranda is saying about that, which
is a little depressing, but I think she's right. Miranda Devine,
New York Post columnists, Laptop from Hell author, Miranda, always
appreciate you making the time for us.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Thanks clam Buck.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Recall for a moment if you can, the video clips
you've seen of President Reagan speaking back in the day,
and do you remember that soaring feeling that she had
when our nation was in good hands. Well, a new
movie comes to theaters next Friday, just in time for
a Labor Day, that will help those memories flood back
to your mind. It's called Reagan, and it stars Dennis
Quaid as the President. He's done a brilliant job of
(32:59):
RecQ creating that, folks, the style of President Reagan, including
the jokes, the twinkle in the eye, the optimism, and
most of all, enduring love for his country. If you're
gonna get a full history lesson on American politics, fighting communism, culture,
here in America and most importantly, witness one man's pursuit
of what's right for this country.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Uh, you got to check out Reagan.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
And while you're watching this movie, you cannot help but
notice the parallels to what candidate Reagan dealt with in
nineteen seventy nine when he was running for office, to
what life is like today forty five years later, to
al BNN Miller's The actress playing Nancy Reagan does a
great performance. You get a true sense of their love
story and the first lady's encouragement toward President Reagan. See
him and help him persevere in the fight for the

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Interesting story
worth following. You guys know, I like to watch the
gambling markets right now. Head to head, Trump and Kamala
Harris tied at forty nine percent, So basically it's a
dead heat from a gambling market perspective. But buck today,
(34:27):
this morning, there has suddenly been a surge and the
chances that RFK Junior is going to drop out of
the race odds percentages are up to eighty percent. I
just shared it that RFK Junior is going to drop
out of the race. Some of you out there are
gonna say, Okay, what does this mean? Usually the story
(34:50):
follows the money. In other words, there is a lot
of talk out there that RFK Junior might be dropping out,
and that if he drops out, would be endorsing Trump,
which is also impacting the overall presidential odds market.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That would help in two ways. One, I think it
would bring some votes to Trump from RFK, but it
also would stop pulling and the latest data shows it,
and RFK Junior has said it himself. It would stop
pulling more votes from Trump. So it's kind of a
double whemmie in a good way. Right, You stop siphoning
(35:28):
off Trump votes and you might not only get those back,
but you get an addition of RFK Junior voters who
may have gone Democrat. Right, So you can see how
this would would help things out. Look, I'm confident Trump wins,
but it's not going to be a blowout, okay, I
mean Trump's Trump's not going to win by five or
ten million votes or something. In the overall, It's going
(35:50):
to come down to the key states, as we have
said all along, and it's really for all this talk
we have about policy and records and connection and charisma
and the candidates, the on the ground vote operations may
actually be king when all is said and done. So
I certainly hope that the RNC is up to the challenge.
(36:12):
The Trump campaign is up to the challenge. We haven't
even talked much Clay about the Senate races and some
of the very important house races that are up. But
with the dropout of Biden, there was a surge as
well for some of these Democrats. The down ballot damage
was taken off the board a little bit. Now, I
(36:33):
think Republicans are still in good shape. But it's going
to be tight. Montana is going to be tight. Pennsylvania's
looking tough for our buddy Dave McCormick, Wisconsin's looking tough
for Eric Hovedy. I mean, they're in it, but it's
going to be a fight to the finish.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
RFK Junior dropping out and endorsing Trump during the Democrat
National Convention would be a huge win for Trump. Odds
markets are saying it may be happen
