Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, I'll come again, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. We
will take many of your calls, perhaps over the next
couple of hours, on a variety of subjects. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. Just came from downstairs
where my wife had made a smoothie for me, and said,
you're totally wrong about the brad Pitt movies. But as
bad as your argument is, Buck's attempt to argue that
(00:23):
the Troy movie is one of brad Pitt's best is
maybe his worst movie take of all time. So, Laura
Travis just off the top of rope during the commercial
break there, I have to say, super homo erotic, not
particularly well done. Buck loves it. I don't know what
to say.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I mean, if you look at the receipts, my man Troy,
and I mean the actual receipts. Troy I think did
almost a billion dollars globally, So somebody liked it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Just saying I don't know what the total revenue was.
I just think it pales in comparison to seven all right,
speaking of horror films, snuff film.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'm sorry, five hundred million US dollars for Troy, and
I'll tell you what did the movie seven made?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
But go ahead, oh well seven. I mean, great forms
of art aren't always going to be reflected in the
box office, right, I mean, let's let's be honest. I mean,
I bet Citizen Kane, I bet Citizen Kane didn't produce.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Just let me give you the numbers, because you've just
done all this prefacing. Seven actually made three hundred and
thirty million dollars worldwide on a budget of thirty million,
So seven was a massive monetary success.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I did not know that. Also, horror movies in general,
I think have trouble getting because R rated movies are
going to have more difficulty.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I'm sure seven was rated movies, not horror movies. Do
horror movies? I think dollars in, dollars out are the
most loose, profitable, most profitable, But they try to keep
it out of the R rating because once you go
into the R you lose the teenagers to a large extent.
Who will go and see these horror movies over and
over and over again. But would you have rules for
your boys? By the way, I always wonder about this now.
(02:00):
I saw a kind of rate movie back in the
day from from Age thirteen on. I was seeing every Stallone,
every Schwarzenegger, all those you know, so a lot of violence.
Well so what was your So my mom and dad's
rule was And a lot of people are gonna say
this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Now, they were totally fine with as much violence as possible,
but they were not okay with like sex movies. Right, Like,
so I could go see like one hundred people get
murdered in like a Stallone movie or shot up or whatever,
but the idea of going to see like Basic Instinct
would have been just like.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I was not allowed to see Basic Instinct for example,
that was that was a no, but a Terminator was
a yes.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But there's no there's no you know, there's no boobs
and terminator.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, and I I think I kind of agree with
that now having my own boys, First of all, they
have access to every movie ever made in the history
of mankind. So it isn't the same Like when you
and I were young, you went to the movie theater,
you had to buy a ticket. The person who sold
you the ticket could look at you and be like, oh,
you're nowhere near eighteen. Were you ever turned away from
(03:08):
a radar movie? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I was once in my life, and it was actually,
there's something about Mary.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Interesting a comedy. Yes, they don't really make that many
R rated comedies anymore, in the same way they don't
they try to avoid it for the horror. But sometimes
we would have to have our parents go and buy
the ticket.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's because I didn't have idea. I never brought I
don't think I actually I think I was eighteen or
nineteen that I forget when the movie came out. But
I didn't have id on me and they're like, you
might you must be eighteen, and oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
No, I think it was when I was like thirteen
or fourteen, and you'd have to have your parents sometimes
buy you like the Sylvester still Oan movie or the
whatever the shoot Them Up movie was that everybody was
going to see. Uh, I was saying in an incredible transition.
Speaking of horror movies a moment ago, the Biden campaign
has descended into its own form of horror. Some might
(04:05):
call it a snuff film. You mentioned this, and I
thought it was interesting. Trump at his rally yesterday super
fantastic at draw one credit one correction from me, I'm
not infallible. I was told that Tua Tagovai Loa was
going to be at the rally. I tweeted it out.
(04:27):
I was told by someone that I trusted that he
would be there. He was not there. I would like
to apologize to Miami Dolphin fans everywhere to Tua. Didn't
know who that was. Yeah, to the entire Dolphin universe
out there. I know you've been trying to find a
quarterback to replace Dan Marino for thirty five years now,
(04:48):
and maybe tuas the guy, and you might have been
thinking to yourself. I didn't have my I had my doubts.
But then I heard Tua from Clay Travis was going
to be at the front row at the Trump rally
at Darrel. I whiffed, that's on me, all right. Although
two has a functional brain, I think he's going to
be voting for Donald Trump. Let me tell you this.
(05:10):
They So there's a couple of things here that I
wanted to hit you with. One. I understand a lot
of people out there are saying, a it's July, be
careful like there's still four months that can pass here.
This is from the New York Times. Everyone who has
led in July in the polling for most of the
last twenty some odd years has won the election in November.
(05:33):
Trump leads. Now I'm reading from them. Biden led Trump
four years ago, Hillary led eight years ago. She won
the popular vote. Barack Obama led in July. In two
thousand and eight and twelve, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan
both led in their reelection campaigns. The only one that
(05:54):
you can really say came back to win after week
polling was George W. Bush in two thousand and four.
But Biden is nowhere close to where George W. Bush
was in two thousand and four. Reason why I bring
this up. The Trump team ranked hardest to easiest the
(06:19):
states that they thought were hardest to easiest to win.
You mentioned this earlier, Buck, this stood out to me.
I was kind of surprised. Again, hardest to easiest. Pennsylvania hardest,
followed by Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona. Okay,
(06:42):
you wanted to talk about the top end of this
the hardest, and I do think that's interesting about Pennsylvania.
But actually what jumped out to me here was that
Nevada and Arizona were after Georgia and North Carolina, and
that Georgia was ahead of North Carolina in terms of
(07:05):
being a tougher win makes some sense because they won
North Carolina, but that Nevada and Arizona Nevada they lost
by like three points in twenty twenty, that both of
those they thought were kind of in the books. Did
that surprise you on the back end, that they actually
are even more confident of Nevada and Arizona than they
(07:26):
are Georgia and North Carolina. That's that really stood out.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I think I think that they have a you know,
they're going to try to put dollars in there and compete,
but I think that they have really no chance in Arizona.
They recognize that no chance in North Carolina, no chance
in Nevada.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Divided team and basically recognize they have no chance.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, they're they're they have. The only strategy is a
really like a rust belt corridor of running the table
from Pennsylvania, which you know it's kind of a Russbelt,
but Pennsylvania and then swinging up through Michigan and Wisconsin
and Okay, then having to hold all other Democrat territory.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So they said the three toughest, which I would expect
would be Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. In Michigan. What I found a
bit surprising about this, and again this is Axios reporting,
is that they actually think Michigan is easier than Pennsylvania
or Wisconsin. And if you look at twenty sixteen and
(08:31):
in twenty twenty, Michigan they have not been as strong
in So what jumped out to me about that is
there's a lot of optimism about how things are going
in Michigan. And I wonder how much of that is
the Israel Palestinian conflict, because that's the one area where
I look at Michigan and say, well, it looks different
(08:51):
than Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in that respect. I think that Pennsylvania, though,
has a couple of Democrats, Fetterman being one of them,
who have been seeming more normal than the mainstream Democrat
party has been on.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
A range of issues. So this ties into the Israel point.
But also, Josh Shapiro is a pretty popular governor I
think that's fair to say, and doesn't have yeah and
doesn't have anything tied to him that is, you know,
a huge negative, and so that may be why they're
(09:30):
a little more concerned about Pennsylvania. Because when you have
popular high elected officials from one party.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
In that state.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I do think that that has a real effect, right,
the same way that you know, or similar to how
people say I hate Congress, but and you go, what
about your congressman, Oh, he's great. You know, people can
be swayed much more by those who already represent them
in some capacity than just the general national messaging that's
out there. So that's why I think Pennsylvania is is.
(10:01):
And also I would just say I think in the
Trump in the Trump team's mind, if they win Pennsylvania,
they win the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It's over.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I think that as the Trump team sees this, it's over.
If they win Pennsylvania, they're winning everything else that they
need to win to win the whole election. It's a
little bit like, Uh, wasn't Ohio that state for a while?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You used to be saying that state. We kind of
shifted it around over the years.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
But yes, you could almost say that Pennsylvania is the
Keystone state.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's a dad joke for someone that is not yet
a dad. You're trending. I don't know. I don't know.
First the Troy endorsement, now the dad jokes. I just
I don't know where we're headed here. I do think
that there isn't enough discussion going on right now about
the fact that Biden really has no pathway to win
(10:56):
but for Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and Trump has right
now so many different ways. I mean, as we watch
the vote come in on November fifth, we could be
looking at that electoral vote in Maine. We could be
looking at New Hampshire, we could be looking at Virginia,
just on the east coast as a harbinger. And that
(11:18):
says nothing about New Jersey or New York, where Trump's
team has claimed they can make it somewhat competitive, as
a harbinger of where things are going, where the game
is being played. What the battlegrounds are matters a great deal.
Both teams agree on the battlegrounds, and the battlegrounds are
all in Joe Biden's backyard.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I also think it's it's noteworthy that there and I'll
say I had expected. I think this was the consensus
around a lot of people that Jerome Powell and the
Fed would start to bring down rates sooner this year.
They may still do it, you know, whatever quarter of
a point by the by the end of the year,
(11:59):
but they would start to do it sooner because that
would do a whole bunch of things for the economy
that would look good. But I think that they're still
so worried about They're more worried about inflation than anything else,
and they recognize that they've had to hold out longer
than was anticipated. Because if you start to have inflation
galloping again right before the election, then I think people
(12:20):
would really have just they throw their hands up. The
people that are price sensitive, which is swing voters, right,
those who don't necessarily vote the sort of low propensity voters,
so they're the economic argument for them is something that
Biden's already gonna have a lot of I think a
lot of trouble with. He just sort of mumbles about
the middle class a lot, doesn't really explain how anything's
(12:43):
going to work. And the other thing that I thought
has been really interesting is they've tried to argue that
Biden has had a really successful presidency as a means
of getting around the age issue. And when I look
at these swing states, I mean, if you're living in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
or Michigan, what have you You just experienced really high
prices and sure, the stock market is high, but that's
(13:06):
really more a function of you can't get yield and
FED for saving your money, and FED policy. So everyone's
just piling money into the stock market because inflation is
so high that if you don't do that, you're losing
value in your savings account. This is just the math
of it. Do you see what I mean though, that
they're trying to make it sound like Biden's done such
a great job over these four years, and they rattle
off these things, these different bills, and I go, what
(13:29):
is he talking about?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Who actually thinks this stuff is true?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
This is a great test for if Biden had come
in and not passed a single bill. I mean, think
about that he had come in and he just said, hey,
you know, bien large. I mean, they can pass like hey,
it's national you know, I don't know, like national help
your neighbor month or whatever it is. I mean, like
actual substance of legislation. I would argue that the nation
would be far better off if he had just gotten
(13:55):
there in January of twenty twenty one basically adopted the
first oh of a physician, do no harm. I think
the country would be an infinitely better shape if you
had never passed a single bill.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Oh yeah, look.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
One of the one of the the hacks, you could say.
I think of the of the early American experiment and
what the founders were dealing with is you know, Congress
was like DC's a mallarial swamp. We got to get
out of here.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah. True, they were not around that much.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
This is very different the America that we live in,
with a permanent political class feasting on all the all
the elite niceties of our nation's capital all the time. Yeah,
that's that's not what it used to be. There used
to be a lot less of that going on. Anyway,
we'll take some of your calls here, and you know,
I was just talking about inflation, and it's just the
(14:47):
reality that we all face. I mean, your dollars in
your bank account are losing value. But you know that
the price of gold has increased thirty percent in the
last year. What's driving this is a gold buying serve
by major countries and also a lot of Americans realizing
that compared to the dollar, gold is a long term
(15:07):
play for value keeping mind. Keep in mind that owning
gold may be one of the best hedges against inflation.
Even when we see President Trump reelected in November, hopefully
we will still be feeling the effect of Biden's inflation.
Four months and we've got thirty four trillion dollars and
counting of debt. Gold has become easy to access and
(15:29):
easy to own for those who want to take action
today and do something to protect their wealth over the
long run. Whether you want gold in your savings account,
your four oh one K or your IRA, Birch Gold

Speaker 5 (16:11):
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 1 (16:24):
Back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show yesterday at Durral
in South Florida, his golf course. There, Trump had a
rally appeared to go very well. It was pete Trump.
You guys know what Trump is in favor of. But
I do think the tone of Trump right now is
(16:45):
one that we may never have seen, by which I
mean we've never really lived with front runner Trump candidate,
at least in the polling. He's always been behind. He's
all always been scrambling, chasing, trying to make up ground.
He feels very magnanimous to me and very relaxed, and
(17:09):
a relaxed Trump is actually a funny Trump, and so
I wanted to play a couple of cuts that I
thought were pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
One.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Biden challenged Trump to a golf match in their debate.
That audio is out there if you want to look
it up. Biden claimed that he was a six or
eight handicap, and of everything that Biden said during the
entire debate, it was the only thing that really seemed
to bother Trump, because he was like, you're edny golfer
(17:38):
out there knows what I'm talking about, Like you're just
blatantly lying. So Trump yesterday said, hey, I'll play you,
Joe Biden, eighteen holes. I'll give you nine or sorry
ten on each side, a total of twenty, which is
a monster handicap to give anyone. And he said, if
(17:59):
you beat me, I'll donate a million dollars to the
charity of your choice, probably Hunter Biden. But here's what
it sounded like.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm also officially challenging cricket Joe to an eighteen hole
golf match right here.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Under ows Blue Monster.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in
the world, one of the great courses of the world.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
It will be among the.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Most watched sporting events in history, maybe bigger than the
Ryder Cup or even the Masters. And I will even
give Joe Biden ten strokes aside. Ten strokes that's a lot.
That means twenty strokes in case.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
You don't play golf.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I will give him ten strokes aside, and if he wins,
I will give the charity of his choice, any charity
that he wants, one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I bet you he doesn't take the offer.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I would bet because.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
He's all talk.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But what that match will do is prove that Joe
is in fact, all talk and no action, but on
many things, not just golf.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
He was right, Buck. The Biden team came out and
put out the lamest, most pathetic response, declining the golf tournament.
Trump also challenged Biden to another debate, which also I
haven't seen a response to. But I don't even know
the answer to this. Have you ever watched in your life, Buck,
(19:36):
a golf tournament on television for eighteen holes of one
particular golfer. Have you ever sat down and watched, like said, hey,
I want to watch Tiger or Phil or anything. Have
you ever watched a golfer play eighteen holes on television?
I feel like I'm on the hot seat here, But no,
I have never watched a hole of golf on television,
(19:58):
not one hole. Never. You've never watched the Masters, You
never watched the US Open run.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
A single solitary hole of golf.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
No, your dad, who I believe is a monster golfer,
is right now. He's dis only many times over over
this specific issue. He absolutely loves golf, like loves golf. Okay,
So having said you never watched a hole on television, now,
what are the odds that you would put on your
calendar and watch all eighteen holes. If Biden and Trump
(20:28):
played an eighteen hole golf match.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yes, I'd watch the whole thing. I would probably throw
a watch party. I'd be all about it. And I
do know enough about the rules of golf and the
scoring to know that I think that Donald Trump would
beat him by twenty strokes.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh yeah, I think so too. I went on with
Jesse last night and I said I would put a
million dollars on Trump as well, and I tried to
get Jesse Waters to do it. He wouldn't do it.
I think he was afraid his wife was watching. He
didn't want to gamble in front of her, but not
to cast dispersion on him. But this is the win
that we would get. I think Trump is actually not
(21:04):
wrong here at all. I think this would be the
most watched golf match in the history of the United States.
If fifty million people roughly just watched the debate on
June twenty seventh, I think twenty five million of those
people at least would watch. And I think there'd be
(21:25):
a lot of people who didn't watch the debate that
are actually golf fans that would want to watch this too.
I think this will be the most watched golf event
in the history of the United States if Biden said yes.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Well, but here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It's not just that it would be amusing to watch
the president and the former president play golf in the
heat of an election year.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This actually goes to who should be president. Yes, the
physical fitness element is integral here.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
There's a reality here, which is that for anybody who
says Trump is too old, you know, Trump would be
moving around playing golf, making funny jokes, doing Trump things,
and Biden would look like it's nap time at the
old folks home the whole time, and we all know it.
So it's not only Trump being the showman, but it
does highlight the very real issue of Joe Biden is
(22:22):
clearly not up for this.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Isn't amazing you and I sit here. We've been saying
Joe Biden's not up for this for years.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yes, We've been having this.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Conversation so much so I'm like Clay, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's just, you know, they're just they're gonna keep pushing,
and they're gonna keep pushig. It's we almost feel like
we have to drone on about how Biden's not up
for this, and now everyone realizes because of the debate,
But I feel like they should have known beforehand, and
yet there's still some hesitation to face the reality.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I think if Biden played eighteen holes against Trump, it
would end his political career because I don't think I think,
if you watch, look, I'm the worst offer on the planet,
So you guys can splice my golf swing alongside of
a lot of I don't think anybody would watch me
play golf and say, I'm not sure if he's going
to finish the round, meaning I'm not sure if he's
(23:11):
physically capable of finishing the round. Mentally, I might have
to check out early, especially if you give me some drinks.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I don't know that Joe Biden, even with a golf cart,
would be capable of swinging his golf club. And I
think it would certainly be at least one hundred swings
in the hot sun of Florida for four hours. I
don't think I he'd be physically able to do it.
I mean, it's it's a drinkum. Trump does it every day.
(23:39):
Trump plays eighteen holes of golf every single day. Now
he's got a golf cart as most people do the
other things. To your point, Buck, I'll talk about us
discussing Biden and his verbal slip ups and his physical frailties.
I've bet a lot of people out there, even in
our audience, are like my wife, who's says, I can't
(24:01):
watch Biden stumble and bumble and fumble all over the
place anymore because it makes me feel ill to my
stomach that they are allowing him to do this. And
I think if you have an elderly relative out there,
maybe it is you yourself, you feel a form of
(24:23):
pain that this would even be allowed to be occurring
in our country. And remember, the only reason they are
now acknowledging what we have been telling you for a
couple of years, what has been self evident. When he
fell off the bike, when he tripped and fell walking
across the stage at the Air Force Academy, when he
(24:45):
tripped and fell going up the stairs to Air Force one,
they had to change his shoes, they had to change
the stairs that he goes up and down, when he
couldn't put his jacket on because the wind was blowing.
The only reason they're acknowledging this now is because has
taken a commanding lead in the polls, and they now
believe that Biden is going to lose and they want
(25:06):
to have a Hail Mary chance to find a replacement.
If Biden were winning, if Biden were up three or
four points right now in all of the battleground states,
if he were leading nationwide by three or four points,
none of these people would have said a word. They
would have all shut up and said Biden is. They
(25:27):
would be saying what Scarborough said, best version of himself.
He's got. He could be president for ten more years
if he needed to. That's what they'd be all telling you.
I really wish that I could sit down. I mean,
in a sense, I'm a focus group for Morning Joe
because I love you're their most diehard fan.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
But I do wish that I could sit and watch it,
or rather ask people who don't watch it for comedic value,
which is largely what I do, and also to see
what the Democrat talking points are that are going to
be spewed by the rest of the news cycle. The
people who think that it's good political analysis, the people
who think that Morning Joe calls it straight gives it
(26:05):
to you the way they need to to you know,
all that stuff. Do they not know that Joe Scarborough
said that Joe Biden was the best he had ever
been six weeks ago. Yeah, And wouldn't that wouldn't you
think maybe I shouldn't watch this person and have them
in my mind about reality, about politics, about anything after that.
(26:27):
That's the part of it that I don't understand. I
don't understand how you can view this. I mean, I'll
tell you know. I've been a consumer of different people's
newsletters and books and things, and there are a lot
of people who, you know, they go off the rails
and I'm like, I'm done. You know that person is
no longer in my orbit of content.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
That's happened.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Look, I Drudge Report. Drudge Report was my homepage for
almost two decades.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I don't even I never go to the Drudge Report anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's sad.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I used to think Drudge Report was great. I don't
understand how you can keep watching Morning Joe after that,
You know what I mean? After such an obvious because
it's a con We might get things wrong here, but
we love everyone who listens and respects the fact that
they give us their time and that they're good people.
And that they're patriots. But morning Joe did was condescend
(27:16):
to the condescend to the audience. It was it was,
you know, they're too dumb to know the difference. So
let's just say this Biden nonsense because we can fool
them with it.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
It's just a betrayal.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well, it's a failure of the marketplace unless you analyze
it as the only thing people want to hear is
their team's good the other team's bad. And if that's
the case, then whether you're right or wrong doesn't matter,
because you've made the ultimate decision that the other side's wrong.
I've said this for a long time. I'm open to
(27:49):
believing that my opinions are wrong, and I actually encourage
all of you out there to be open to that
idea too, because there are a lot of things that
I believe now that I didn't believe when I was sixteen,
or twenty six or thirty six. Because the world around
me has changed and I've learned. I like to think
(28:11):
I've gained more wisdom, and so my opinions are different now.
As a dad of three, and as someone who has
founded a couple of businesses and been responsible for a
lot of other people's livelihoods. I think differently now than
I did when I was twenty two or twenty three
or thirty three. I think everybody should. And if you're
(28:32):
the kind of person who is going to say, well,
I just want to watch Joe Scarborough because even though
he lied to me in late March when he said
this is the best version of Biden that's ever existed,
no one believes that. No one believes that the best
version of anyone, by and large is the version that
(28:52):
comes after you get dementia. I've never heard anybody say,
you know, Grandpa, Grandpa was a lot of fun, but
I didn't really love him until his brain stopped working.
That was the best version of him. Oh that's what
he told you. When people tell you things that are lies,
and then when they flip and tell you the exact opposite,
(29:14):
you should question how they got there. And the fact
that the marketplace doesn't seem to do it on MSNBC,
I think is a function of them collapsing overall in
terms of truth, but not being punished by it at
all in terms of audience. Look, if somebody tells you
they have the energy to get a job done, they
(29:35):
likely don't Joe Scarborough trying to say that Joe Biden
has the absolute best version of himself at eighty one.
I don't think so. I don't think the best version
of Joe Biden is very high bar to hit right now.
But I do think if Joe Biden took Chalk, he'd
be a little bit better. Maybe we should be sending
this to the White House so that our president can
stay up later than eight o'clock at night. Maybe we
(29:56):
should send it up there so the president can work

Speaker 2 (31:10):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. We want
to get some of your VIP emails and phone calls. Remember,
go to clayanbuck dot com sign up to be a VIP.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Please.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
We put a video stream of the show. And now
Clay has an adorable puppy. And I my puppies almost
grown now, but Clay has an adorable puppy. So there's
like puppies that appear. Sometimes there are babies that show
up on the live stream. Sometimes you know you'll see
one of us, like eating a sandwich. I mean, there's
just it's it's real behind the scenes stuff. So I
(31:42):
don't know if I sold it that well with the
sandwich line. But go to Clayanbuck dot com sign up,
become a VIP and you get the VIP email address,
and you're supporting everything that we are doing here, which
we greatly appreciate all those VIP emails we have. Let's see,
Matt writes, Clay, I saw you on Jesse's show last night.
Either Fox News fix their makeup or lighting issues or
(32:06):
you're over the beasting, no puffy face, looking good, so Matt.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Says, looking pretty handsome up there on the screen on
Fox there, mister Clay.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
But last week he told me that I looked like
I was hit with a frying pan in the face.
So I really don't do anything different in terms of
my preparation, and that's probably an indictment on me, but
that is, you know, just kind of the I appreciate
the endorsement, but I really don't do anything different.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Douglas next up on our VIPs, Clay in all caps,
Welcome to Buck Island. There were faster ways to arrive
here than the paddleboarding across the Atlantic option that you took,
but we are glad you are here. As you look
around at all the people taking up residency, take a
deep breath and slowly exhale. This feels right, which is
(32:58):
exactly how Buck's lips are feeling when they devour that
Michelin star steak dinner. You will owe him and we
demand pictures. Excellent email from Douglas. It's a good email
from Douglas.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I will say, I'm holding out some small measure of help,
hope that there is some major bombshell that The New
York Times is threatening to drop that could change everything.
I don't have a lot of confidence that it's gonna happen,
but that's my last best hope because Biden's not stepping down.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, Brian, one more here, what's up, guys. Longtime Rush listener.
I'm so proud of what you guys do. I listen
every day.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
This is for you.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm a former cop thirty three years Memphis, Tennessee, and
yet for all my time and the Army National Guard
of the Police have never had anything as dangerous as
what just happened, which was me laughing so hard at
Stephanopoulos as evil Frodo Baggins that I literally had to
pull over to the side of the road and almost
cause two res. Love you guys keep dropping them like that.
(33:56):
Thanks so much. I'm just glad you're safe. Officer Brian
just glad you're safe. You know Frodo's glad too.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
You would feel really bad if Officer Brian drove off
the road trying to react to your hobbit joke at
the expense of George Stephanopolis. I mean, our show probably
should come with a warning label political insights so fast
and furious and jokes so funny that driving can be
a hazardous condition.
Oh, I'll come again, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. We
will take many of your calls, perhaps over the next
couple of hours, on a variety of subjects. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. Just came from downstairs
where my wife had made a smoothie for me, and said,
you're totally wrong about the brad Pitt movies. But as
bad as your argument is, Buck's attempt to argue that
(00:23):
the Troy movie is one of brad Pitt's best is
maybe his worst movie take of all time. So, Laura
Travis just off the top of rope during the commercial
break there, I have to say, super homo erotic, not
particularly well done. Buck loves it. I don't know what
to say.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I mean, if you look at the receipts, my man Troy,
and I mean the actual receipts. Troy I think did
almost a billion dollars globally, So somebody liked it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Just saying I don't know what the total revenue was.
I just think it pales in comparison to seven all right,
speaking of horror films, snuff film.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'm sorry, five hundred million US dollars for Troy, and
I'll tell you what did the movie seven made?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
But go ahead, oh well seven. I mean, great forms
of art aren't always going to be reflected in the
box office, right, I mean, let's let's be honest. I mean,
I bet Citizen Kane, I bet Citizen Kane didn't produce.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Just let me give you the numbers, because you've just
done all this prefacing. Seven actually made three hundred and
thirty million dollars worldwide on a budget of thirty million,
So seven was a massive monetary success.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I did not know that. Also, horror movies in general,
I think have trouble getting because R rated movies are
going to have more difficulty.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I'm sure seven was rated movies, not horror movies. Do
horror movies? I think dollars in, dollars out are the
most loose, profitable, most profitable, But they try to keep
it out of the R rating because once you go
into the R you lose the teenagers to a large extent.
Who will go and see these horror movies over and
over and over again. But would you have rules for
your boys? By the way, I always wonder about this now.
(02:00):
I saw a kind of rate movie back in the
day from from Age thirteen on. I was seeing every Stallone,
every Schwarzenegger, all those you know, so a lot of violence.
Well so what was your So my mom and dad's
rule was And a lot of people are gonna say
this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Now, they were totally fine with as much violence as possible,
but they were not okay with like sex movies. Right, Like,
so I could go see like one hundred people get
murdered in like a Stallone movie or shot up or whatever,
but the idea of going to see like Basic Instinct
would have been just like.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I was not allowed to see Basic Instinct for example,
that was that was a no, but a Terminator was
a yes.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But there's no there's no you know, there's no boobs
and terminator.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, and I I think I kind of agree with
that now having my own boys, First of all, they
have access to every movie ever made in the history
of mankind. So it isn't the same Like when you
and I were young, you went to the movie theater,
you had to buy a ticket. The person who sold
you the ticket could look at you and be like, oh,
you're nowhere near eighteen. Were you ever turned away from
(03:08):
a radar movie? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I was once in my life, and it was actually,
there's something about Mary.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Interesting a comedy. Yes, they don't really make that many
R rated comedies anymore, in the same way they don't
they try to avoid it for the horror. But sometimes
we would have to have our parents go and buy
the ticket.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's because I didn't have idea. I never brought I
don't think I actually I think I was eighteen or
nineteen that I forget when the movie came out. But
I didn't have id on me and they're like, you
might you must be eighteen, and oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
No, I think it was when I was like thirteen
or fourteen, and you'd have to have your parents sometimes
buy you like the Sylvester still Oan movie or the
whatever the shoot Them Up movie was that everybody was
going to see. Uh, I was saying in an incredible transition.
Speaking of horror movies a moment ago, the Biden campaign
has descended into its own form of horror. Some might
(04:05):
call it a snuff film. You mentioned this, and I
thought it was interesting. Trump at his rally yesterday super
fantastic at draw one credit one correction from me, I'm
not infallible. I was told that Tua Tagovai Loa was
going to be at the rally. I tweeted it out.
(04:27):
I was told by someone that I trusted that he
would be there. He was not there. I would like
to apologize to Miami Dolphin fans everywhere to Tua. Didn't
know who that was. Yeah, to the entire Dolphin universe
out there. I know you've been trying to find a
quarterback to replace Dan Marino for thirty five years now,
(04:48):
and maybe tuas the guy, and you might have been
thinking to yourself. I didn't have my I had my doubts.
But then I heard Tua from Clay Travis was going
to be at the front row at the Trump rally
at Darrel. I whiffed, that's on me, all right. Although
two has a functional brain, I think he's going to
be voting for Donald Trump. Let me tell you this.
(05:10):
They So there's a couple of things here that I
wanted to hit you with. One. I understand a lot
of people out there are saying, a it's July, be
careful like there's still four months that can pass here.
This is from the New York Times. Everyone who has
led in July in the polling for most of the
last twenty some odd years has won the election in November.
(05:33):
Trump leads. Now I'm reading from them. Biden led Trump
four years ago, Hillary led eight years ago. She won
the popular vote. Barack Obama led in July. In two
thousand and eight and twelve, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan
both led in their reelection campaigns. The only one that
(05:54):
you can really say came back to win after week
polling was George W. Bush in two thousand and four.
But Biden is nowhere close to where George W. Bush
was in two thousand and four. Reason why I bring
this up. The Trump team ranked hardest to easiest the
(06:19):
states that they thought were hardest to easiest to win.
You mentioned this earlier, Buck, this stood out to me.
I was kind of surprised. Again, hardest to easiest. Pennsylvania hardest,
followed by Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona. Okay,
(06:42):
you wanted to talk about the top end of this
the hardest, and I do think that's interesting about Pennsylvania.
But actually what jumped out to me here was that
Nevada and Arizona were after Georgia and North Carolina, and
that Georgia was ahead of North Carolina in terms of
(07:05):
being a tougher win makes some sense because they won
North Carolina, but that Nevada and Arizona Nevada they lost
by like three points in twenty twenty, that both of
those they thought were kind of in the books. Did
that surprise you on the back end, that they actually
are even more confident of Nevada and Arizona than they
(07:26):
are Georgia and North Carolina. That's that really stood out.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I think I think that they have a you know,
they're going to try to put dollars in there and compete,
but I think that they have really no chance in Arizona.
They recognize that no chance in North Carolina, no chance
in Nevada.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Divided team and basically recognize they have no chance.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, they're they're they have. The only strategy is a
really like a rust belt corridor of running the table
from Pennsylvania, which you know it's kind of a Russbelt,
but Pennsylvania and then swinging up through Michigan and Wisconsin
and Okay, then having to hold all other Democrat territory.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So they said the three toughest, which I would expect
would be Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. In Michigan. What I found a
bit surprising about this, and again this is Axios reporting,
is that they actually think Michigan is easier than Pennsylvania
or Wisconsin. And if you look at twenty sixteen and
(08:31):
in twenty twenty, Michigan they have not been as strong
in So what jumped out to me about that is
there's a lot of optimism about how things are going
in Michigan. And I wonder how much of that is
the Israel Palestinian conflict, because that's the one area where
I look at Michigan and say, well, it looks different
(08:51):
than Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in that respect. I think that Pennsylvania, though,
has a couple of Democrats, Fetterman being one of them,
who have been seeming more normal than the mainstream Democrat
party has been on.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
A range of issues. So this ties into the Israel point.
But also, Josh Shapiro is a pretty popular governor I
think that's fair to say, and doesn't have yeah and
doesn't have anything tied to him that is, you know,
a huge negative, and so that may be why they're
(09:30):
a little more concerned about Pennsylvania. Because when you have
popular high elected officials from one party.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
In that state.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I do think that that has a real effect, right,
the same way that you know, or similar to how
people say I hate Congress, but and you go, what
about your congressman, Oh, he's great. You know, people can
be swayed much more by those who already represent them
in some capacity than just the general national messaging that's
out there. So that's why I think Pennsylvania is is.
(10:01):
And also I would just say I think in the
Trump in the Trump team's mind, if they win Pennsylvania,
they win the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It's over.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I think that as the Trump team sees this, it's over.
If they win Pennsylvania, they're winning everything else that they
need to win to win the whole election. It's a
little bit like, Uh, wasn't Ohio that state for a while?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You used to be saying that state. We kind of
shifted it around over the years.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
But yes, you could almost say that Pennsylvania is the
Keystone state.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's a dad joke for someone that is not yet
a dad. You're trending. I don't know. I don't know.
First the Troy endorsement, now the dad jokes. I just
I don't know where we're headed here. I do think
that there isn't enough discussion going on right now about
the fact that Biden really has no pathway to win
(10:56):
but for Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and Trump has right
now so many different ways. I mean, as we watch
the vote come in on November fifth, we could be
looking at that electoral vote in Maine. We could be
looking at New Hampshire, we could be looking at Virginia,
just on the east coast as a harbinger. And that
(11:18):
says nothing about New Jersey or New York, where Trump's
team has claimed they can make it somewhat competitive, as
a harbinger of where things are going, where the game
is being played. What the battlegrounds are matters a great deal.
Both teams agree on the battlegrounds, and the battlegrounds are
all in Joe Biden's backyard.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I also think it's it's noteworthy that there and I'll
say I had expected. I think this was the consensus
around a lot of people that Jerome Powell and the
Fed would start to bring down rates sooner this year.
They may still do it, you know, whatever quarter of
a point by the by the end of the year,
(11:59):
but they would start to do it sooner because that
would do a whole bunch of things for the economy
that would look good. But I think that they're still
so worried about They're more worried about inflation than anything else,
and they recognize that they've had to hold out longer
than was anticipated. Because if you start to have inflation
galloping again right before the election, then I think people
(12:20):
would really have just they throw their hands up. The
people that are price sensitive, which is swing voters, right,
those who don't necessarily vote the sort of low propensity voters,
so they're the economic argument for them is something that
Biden's already gonna have a lot of I think a
lot of trouble with. He just sort of mumbles about
the middle class a lot, doesn't really explain how anything's
(12:43):
going to work. And the other thing that I thought
has been really interesting is they've tried to argue that
Biden has had a really successful presidency as a means
of getting around the age issue. And when I look
at these swing states, I mean, if you're living in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
or Michigan, what have you You just experienced really high
prices and sure, the stock market is high, but that's
(13:06):
really more a function of you can't get yield and
FED for saving your money, and FED policy. So everyone's
just piling money into the stock market because inflation is
so high that if you don't do that, you're losing
value in your savings account. This is just the math
of it. Do you see what I mean though, that
they're trying to make it sound like Biden's done such
a great job over these four years, and they rattle
off these things, these different bills, and I go, what
(13:29):
is he talking about?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Who actually thinks this stuff is true?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
This is a great test for if Biden had come
in and not passed a single bill. I mean, think
about that he had come in and he just said, hey,
you know, bien large. I mean, they can pass like hey,
it's national you know, I don't know, like national help
your neighbor month or whatever it is. I mean, like
actual substance of legislation. I would argue that the nation
would be far better off if he had just gotten
(13:55):
there in January of twenty twenty one basically adopted the
first oh of a physician, do no harm. I think
the country would be an infinitely better shape if you
had never passed a single bill.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Oh yeah, look.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
One of the one of the the hacks, you could say.
I think of the of the early American experiment and
what the founders were dealing with is you know, Congress
was like DC's a mallarial swamp. We got to get
out of here.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah. True, they were not around that much.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
This is very different the America that we live in,
with a permanent political class feasting on all the all
the elite niceties of our nation's capital all the time. Yeah,
that's that's not what it used to be. There used
to be a lot less of that going on. Anyway,
we'll take some of your calls here, and you know,
I was just talking about inflation, and it's just the
(14:47):
reality that we all face. I mean, your dollars in
your bank account are losing value. But you know that
the price of gold has increased thirty percent in the
last year. What's driving this is a gold buying serve
by major countries and also a lot of Americans realizing
that compared to the dollar, gold is a long term
(15:07):
play for value keeping mind. Keep in mind that owning
gold may be one of the best hedges against inflation.
Even when we see President Trump reelected in November, hopefully
we will still be feeling the effect of Biden's inflation.
Four months and we've got thirty four trillion dollars and
counting of debt. Gold has become easy to access and
(15:29):
easy to own for those who want to take action
today and do something to protect their wealth over the
long run. Whether you want gold in your savings account,
your four oh one K or your IRA, Birch Gold

Speaker 5 (16:11):
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 1 (16:24):
Back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show yesterday at Durral
in South Florida, his golf course. There, Trump had a
rally appeared to go very well. It was pete Trump.
You guys know what Trump is in favor of. But
I do think the tone of Trump right now is
(16:45):
one that we may never have seen, by which I
mean we've never really lived with front runner Trump candidate,
at least in the polling. He's always been behind. He's
all always been scrambling, chasing, trying to make up ground.
He feels very magnanimous to me and very relaxed, and
(17:09):
a relaxed Trump is actually a funny Trump, and so
I wanted to play a couple of cuts that I
thought were pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
One.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Biden challenged Trump to a golf match in their debate.
That audio is out there if you want to look
it up. Biden claimed that he was a six or
eight handicap, and of everything that Biden said during the
entire debate, it was the only thing that really seemed
to bother Trump, because he was like, you're edny golfer
(17:38):
out there knows what I'm talking about, Like you're just
blatantly lying. So Trump yesterday said, hey, I'll play you,
Joe Biden, eighteen holes. I'll give you nine or sorry
ten on each side, a total of twenty, which is
a monster handicap to give anyone. And he said, if
(17:59):
you beat me, I'll donate a million dollars to the
charity of your choice, probably Hunter Biden. But here's what
it sounded like.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm also officially challenging cricket Joe to an eighteen hole
golf match right here.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Under ows Blue Monster.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in
the world, one of the great courses of the world.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
It will be among the.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Most watched sporting events in history, maybe bigger than the
Ryder Cup or even the Masters. And I will even
give Joe Biden ten strokes aside. Ten strokes that's a lot.
That means twenty strokes in case.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
You don't play golf.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I will give him ten strokes aside, and if he wins,
I will give the charity of his choice, any charity
that he wants, one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I bet you he doesn't take the offer.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I would bet because.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
He's all talk.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But what that match will do is prove that Joe
is in fact, all talk and no action, but on
many things, not just golf.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
He was right, Buck. The Biden team came out and
put out the lamest, most pathetic response, declining the golf tournament.
Trump also challenged Biden to another debate, which also I
haven't seen a response to. But I don't even know
the answer to this. Have you ever watched in your life, Buck,
(19:36):
a golf tournament on television for eighteen holes of one
particular golfer. Have you ever sat down and watched, like said, hey,
I want to watch Tiger or Phil or anything. Have
you ever watched a golfer play eighteen holes on television?
I feel like I'm on the hot seat here, But no,
I have never watched a hole of golf on television,
(19:58):
not one hole. Never. You've never watched the Masters, You
never watched the US Open run.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
A single solitary hole of golf.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
No, your dad, who I believe is a monster golfer,
is right now. He's dis only many times over over
this specific issue. He absolutely loves golf, like loves golf. Okay,
So having said you never watched a hole on television, now,
what are the odds that you would put on your
calendar and watch all eighteen holes. If Biden and Trump
(20:28):
played an eighteen hole golf match.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yes, I'd watch the whole thing. I would probably throw
a watch party. I'd be all about it. And I
do know enough about the rules of golf and the
scoring to know that I think that Donald Trump would
beat him by twenty strokes.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh yeah, I think so too. I went on with
Jesse last night and I said I would put a
million dollars on Trump as well, and I tried to
get Jesse Waters to do it. He wouldn't do it.
I think he was afraid his wife was watching. He
didn't want to gamble in front of her, but not
to cast dispersion on him. But this is the win
that we would get. I think Trump is actually not
(21:04):
wrong here at all. I think this would be the
most watched golf match in the history of the United States.
If fifty million people roughly just watched the debate on
June twenty seventh, I think twenty five million of those
people at least would watch. And I think there'd be
(21:25):
a lot of people who didn't watch the debate that
are actually golf fans that would want to watch this too.
I think this will be the most watched golf event
in the history of the United States if Biden said yes.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Well, but here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It's not just that it would be amusing to watch
the president and the former president play golf in the
heat of an election year.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This actually goes to who should be president. Yes, the
physical fitness element is integral here.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
There's a reality here, which is that for anybody who
says Trump is too old, you know, Trump would be
moving around playing golf, making funny jokes, doing Trump things,
and Biden would look like it's nap time at the
old folks home the whole time, and we all know it.
So it's not only Trump being the showman, but it
does highlight the very real issue of Joe Biden is
(22:22):
clearly not up for this.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Isn't amazing you and I sit here. We've been saying
Joe Biden's not up for this for years.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yes, We've been having this.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Conversation so much so I'm like Clay, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's just, you know, they're just they're gonna keep pushing,
and they're gonna keep pushig. It's we almost feel like
we have to drone on about how Biden's not up
for this, and now everyone realizes because of the debate,
But I feel like they should have known beforehand, and
yet there's still some hesitation to face the reality.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I think if Biden played eighteen holes against Trump, it
would end his political career because I don't think I think,
if you watch, look, I'm the worst offer on the planet,
So you guys can splice my golf swing alongside of
a lot of I don't think anybody would watch me
play golf and say, I'm not sure if he's going
to finish the round, meaning I'm not sure if he's
(23:11):
physically capable of finishing the round. Mentally, I might have
to check out early, especially if you give me some drinks.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I don't know that Joe Biden, even with a golf cart,
would be capable of swinging his golf club. And I
think it would certainly be at least one hundred swings
in the hot sun of Florida for four hours. I
don't think I he'd be physically able to do it.
I mean, it's it's a drinkum. Trump does it every day.
(23:39):
Trump plays eighteen holes of golf every single day. Now
he's got a golf cart as most people do the
other things. To your point, Buck, I'll talk about us
discussing Biden and his verbal slip ups and his physical frailties.
I've bet a lot of people out there, even in
our audience, are like my wife, who's says, I can't
(24:01):
watch Biden stumble and bumble and fumble all over the
place anymore because it makes me feel ill to my
stomach that they are allowing him to do this. And
I think if you have an elderly relative out there,
maybe it is you yourself, you feel a form of
(24:23):
pain that this would even be allowed to be occurring
in our country. And remember, the only reason they are
now acknowledging what we have been telling you for a
couple of years, what has been self evident. When he
fell off the bike, when he tripped and fell walking
across the stage at the Air Force Academy, when he
(24:45):
tripped and fell going up the stairs to Air Force one,
they had to change his shoes, they had to change
the stairs that he goes up and down, when he
couldn't put his jacket on because the wind was blowing.
The only reason they're acknowledging this now is because has
taken a commanding lead in the polls, and they now
believe that Biden is going to lose and they want
(25:06):
to have a Hail Mary chance to find a replacement.
If Biden were winning, if Biden were up three or
four points right now in all of the battleground states,
if he were leading nationwide by three or four points,
none of these people would have said a word. They
would have all shut up and said Biden is. They
(25:27):
would be saying what Scarborough said, best version of himself.
He's got. He could be president for ten more years
if he needed to. That's what they'd be all telling you.
I really wish that I could sit down. I mean,
in a sense, I'm a focus group for Morning Joe
because I love you're their most diehard fan.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
But I do wish that I could sit and watch it,
or rather ask people who don't watch it for comedic value,
which is largely what I do, and also to see
what the Democrat talking points are that are going to
be spewed by the rest of the news cycle. The
people who think that it's good political analysis, the people
who think that Morning Joe calls it straight gives it
(26:05):
to you the way they need to to you know,
all that stuff. Do they not know that Joe Scarborough
said that Joe Biden was the best he had ever
been six weeks ago. Yeah, And wouldn't that wouldn't you
think maybe I shouldn't watch this person and have them
in my mind about reality, about politics, about anything after that.
(26:27):
That's the part of it that I don't understand. I
don't understand how you can view this. I mean, I'll
tell you know. I've been a consumer of different people's
newsletters and books and things, and there are a lot
of people who, you know, they go off the rails
and I'm like, I'm done. You know that person is
no longer in my orbit of content.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
That's happened.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Look, I Drudge Report. Drudge Report was my homepage for
almost two decades.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I don't even I never go to the Drudge Report anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's sad.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I used to think Drudge Report was great. I don't
understand how you can keep watching Morning Joe after that,
You know what I mean? After such an obvious because
it's a con We might get things wrong here, but
we love everyone who listens and respects the fact that
they give us their time and that they're good people.
And that they're patriots. But morning Joe did was condescend
(27:16):
to the condescend to the audience. It was it was,
you know, they're too dumb to know the difference. So
let's just say this Biden nonsense because we can fool
them with it.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
It's just a betrayal.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well, it's a failure of the marketplace unless you analyze
it as the only thing people want to hear is
their team's good the other team's bad. And if that's
the case, then whether you're right or wrong doesn't matter,
because you've made the ultimate decision that the other side's wrong.
I've said this for a long time. I'm open to
(27:49):
believing that my opinions are wrong, and I actually encourage
all of you out there to be open to that
idea too, because there are a lot of things that
I believe now that I didn't believe when I was sixteen,
or twenty six or thirty six. Because the world around
me has changed and I've learned. I like to think
(28:11):
I've gained more wisdom, and so my opinions are different now.
As a dad of three, and as someone who has
founded a couple of businesses and been responsible for a
lot of other people's livelihoods. I think differently now than
I did when I was twenty two or twenty three
or thirty three. I think everybody should. And if you're
(28:32):
the kind of person who is going to say, well,
I just want to watch Joe Scarborough because even though
he lied to me in late March when he said
this is the best version of Biden that's ever existed,
no one believes that. No one believes that the best
version of anyone, by and large is the version that
(28:52):
comes after you get dementia. I've never heard anybody say,
you know, Grandpa, Grandpa was a lot of fun, but
I didn't really love him until his brain stopped working.
That was the best version of him. Oh that's what
he told you. When people tell you things that are lies,
and then when they flip and tell you the exact opposite,
(29:14):
you should question how they got there. And the fact
that the marketplace doesn't seem to do it on MSNBC,
I think is a function of them collapsing overall in
terms of truth, but not being punished by it at
all in terms of audience. Look, if somebody tells you
they have the energy to get a job done, they
(29:35):
likely don't Joe Scarborough trying to say that Joe Biden
has the absolute best version of himself at eighty one.
I don't think so. I don't think the best version
of Joe Biden is very high bar to hit right now.
But I do think if Joe Biden took Chalk, he'd
be a little bit better. Maybe we should be sending
this to the White House so that our president can
stay up later than eight o'clock at night. Maybe we
(29:56):
should send it up there so the president can work
after four o'clock in the afternoon. You need to check

like puppies that appear. Sometimes there are babies that show

one of us, like eating a sandwich. I mean, there's
just it's it's real behind the scenes stuff. So I
(31:42):
don't know if I sold it that well with the
sandwich line. But go to Clayanbuck dot com sign up,
become a VIP and you get the VIP email address,
and you're supporting everything that we are doing here, which
we greatly appreciate all those VIP emails we have. Let's see,
Matt writes, Clay, I saw you on Jesse's show last night.
Either Fox News fix their makeup or lighting issues or
(32:06):
you're over the beasting, no puffy face, looking good, so Matt.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Says, looking pretty handsome up there on the screen on
Fox there, mister Clay.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
But last week he told me that I looked like
I was hit with a frying pan in the face.
So I really don't do anything different in terms of
my preparation, and that's probably an indictment on me, but
that is, you know, just kind of the I appreciate
the endorsement, but I really don't do anything different.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Douglas next up on our VIPs, Clay in all caps,
Welcome to Buck Island. There were faster ways to arrive
here than the paddleboarding across the Atlantic option that you took,
but we are glad you are here. As you look
around at all the people taking up residency, take a
deep breath and slowly exhale. This feels right, which is
(32:58):
exactly how Buck's lips are feeling when they devour that
Michelin star steak dinner. You will owe him and we
demand pictures. Excellent email from Douglas. It's a good email
from Douglas.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I will say, I'm holding out some small measure of help,
hope that there is some major bombshell that The New
York Times is threatening to drop that could change everything.
I don't have a lot of confidence that it's gonna happen,
but that's my last best hope because Biden's not stepping down.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, Brian, one more here, what's up, guys. Longtime Rush listener.
I'm so proud of what you guys do. I listen
every day.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
This is for you.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm a former cop thirty three years Memphis, Tennessee, and
yet for all my time and the Army National Guard
of the Police have never had anything as dangerous as
what just happened, which was me laughing so hard at
Stephanopoulos as evil Frodo Baggins that I literally had to
pull over to the side of the road and almost
cause two res. Love you guys keep dropping them like that.
(33:56):
Thanks so much. I'm just glad you're safe. Officer Brian
just glad you're safe. You know Frodo's glad too.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
You would feel really bad if Officer Brian drove off
the road trying to react to your hobbit joke at
the expense of George Stephanopolis. I mean, our show probably
should come with a warning label political insights so fast
and furious and jokes so funny that driving can be
a hazardous condition.
