Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. Donald Trump, as
we mentioned, speaking in New York, laying out some aspects
of his economic agenda. We've had our crew rolling on that.
I want to just play several of the cuts as
Trump is focused on the economy today. Let me also
tell you as we roll into our two here, we've
(00:21):
got a bunch of guests scheduled for you. Marsha Blackburn,
Senator from Tennessee going to be on at one thirty
eastern with us, Julie Kelly from DC, toway in on
Hunter Biden playing guilty, but also the Judge Chutkin hearing
in the Jack Smith d c. Jan sixth related case.
She was in that courtroom in DC. We'll talk about it,
(00:45):
and then we're going to go down to Israel. Out
to Israel wherever you may be at two thirty eastern
for the absolute latest there with Jeff Tigs. That is
on the horizon of where we're going. But let me
hit you with some of these clips that Trump has
laid out as part of the economic speech that he
is giving right now in New York. Let's start with
(01:05):
cut twenty five. Trump large big picture. What's the goal
of his economic plan.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
My plan will rapidly defeat inflation, quickly bring down prices,
and reignite explosive economic growth. Kamala Harris will take more
money out of American pockets. My plan will leave the
typical family with many thousands of dollars more than they
have right now. First, I will end Kamala Harris's anti
(01:32):
energy crusade and implement a policy of energy abundance, energy independence,
and even energy dominance.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We have more liquid gold under.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Our feet than any other country, including Russia and Saudi Arabia,
will be using it. My plan will cut energy prices
in half or more than that within twelve months.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Okay, so that's cut twenty five. He specifically said, as
he's going to terminate the Green New Deal. That is
Cut twenty six, and then a couple of more clips
I'll call for. But here is I'm doing away with
the Green New Deal once and for all. This is
Trump today in New.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
York to further defeed inflation.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
My plan will terminate the Green New Deal, which I
call the Green New Scam. Greatest scam in history, probably
a ten trillion dollar scam that we waste.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
We throw it like throwing money right out the window.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It actually sets us back, as opposed to it moves
us forward, and we send all unspent funds under the
misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, which the Democrats agreed after it
was approved that it wasn't for that purpose, it was
for other purposes like giveaways.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Okay, buck, I love this idea Elon Musk, who has
endorsed Trump and become very active. I saw Elon Musk
tweet that he thinks this is the most important election
because when it comes to free speech, if Kamal is
put into office, the amount of restrictions we will see
in the United States will be substantial. Trump says he
wants Elon Musk to be the head of the Government
(03:07):
Efficiency Commission. That's certainly a redundancy given most government agencies.
Here's what he said about Elon.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Complete and total endorsement. That's nice, smart guy. He knows
what he's doing. He knows what he's doing, very much appreciated.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I will create a Government Efficiency Commission task with conducting
a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal
government and making recommendations for drastic reforms we need to do.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It can't go on the way we are now.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And Elon, because he's not very busy, has agreed to
hit that task force. Be interesting if he has the time,
have a good one to do it, but he's agreed
to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So these are economic policies. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, I was going to say, didn't he fire, meaning
Elon Musk seventy or eighty percent of Twitter employees and
now it's X And I mean I would argue that
the site is better than it's ever been with more upside.
I know they're trying to tell you, oh, all the
share value has been lost. Yeah, well he had to
cut it down. He had to basically tear it down
to the studs and the foundation and rebuild just on
(04:18):
the site where Twitter had formerly been in a lot
of ways. But I think he's got a phenomenal job
with it. And more importantly the reality of Twitter was
that it had become a left wing social justice organization
incubated inside of a tech company, and then it took
over right. The relationship perhaps at first was a parasite,
(04:41):
and then it was symbiotic, and then it was dominance.
And I think that you see this unfortunately in the
federal government too. I worked in the federal government. The
truth is that a vast majority I don't want I know.
In the Hillary election, I think it was something like
ninety five percent of federal government employees donated Hillary over Trump, right,
(05:02):
something something astonishingly high. And you just say, why is that? Well,
because there are a lot of people work in the
federal government who inherently believe in the system, but they
also want to be self paced in their work output, unfireable,
and not really subject to you know, the ups and
downs of the real economy and things like that. And again,
I was a federal govern employee. I know about this attitude,
(05:25):
and it's one of the reasons I left the federal
government and lasted that long. And Clay, I think that
Elon could do an incredible job, because that's when people
talk about the swamp. The federal bureaucracy is in many
ways the worst part of it, because it's the forever state,
and it's the ungovernment, it's the unaccountable governance branch that
(05:46):
the founding fathers certainly didn't see it this way. Why
has it become what it is? Why is it this Leviathan?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I think you could fire fifty or seventy five percent
of all federal government employees and the actual government's efficiency
would not change at all. And I suspect that Elon
must knows that now they have union protections. It's very
hard to fire people unfortunately inside of the government, even
when they are behaving inappropriately and engaging in fireable offenses.
(06:14):
But I think our government would be far better off
if we could just come in with a and wipe
out half of all federal government employees. I mean, even
the Pentagon. You know, I read Elon's most recent.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Biography, you know, that was the Isaacson one that came out.
I thought it was very good, and you know, by
getting involved in the aerospace, effectively sending rockets into outer
space industry, he came up against the reality of aerospace
and defense with the.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Federal government, which are these.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
They called a what is it a plus plus margin
contract or it's essentially a plus expense plus cost cost plus.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's what it is.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Cost plus contract where you get to just run up
all your costs as long as you want fully reimbursed.
For all of your costs and then get like a
twenty percent profit on top of that.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's how people.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Wonder why we're not doing any cool stuff in space
and why a private company had to come along.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That is true throughout the federal government. You want to
talk about fraud, waste, and abuse.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I think they think something like sixty billion dollars a
year and medicaid fraud occurs.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Think of it, sixty billions. I know. Now, Look to me,
the most impressive thing Elon has done is Tesla is
an amazing company that has been very successful, and he
redesigned the way that we power vehicles. He's better at
sending rockets to space than NASA, and NASA had a
(07:42):
seventy year head start on him. I mean, it really
is extraordinary. I mean we have we can't get I'm
surprised this hasn't gotten a bigger story. Have you paid attention?
There are two astronauts stuck in space right now. We
cannot get them back. They were supposed to leave go
for eight days and instead they're going to be there
(08:03):
for eight months. This is real, not a lot to
talk about it. We're having to use SpaceX to get
them back. Our government can't get our astronauts back right now.
Our government has to go to Elon and.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Say, excuse me, Elon, can you help us. That's where
Uncle Sam is these days.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Think about how crazy that is. We sent two astronauts
to space and our government doesn't have the capabilities to
get them back. We have to get them back with
Elon Musk. One more thing, by the way, speaking of efficiency,
I do think this is important. And to me, again,
First Amendment is the most important issue at stake here
because without those freedoms, we have no freedoms. But I
do think Trump understands basic economics in a way that
(08:43):
Kamala does not. And that makes sense because Trump was
a builder. He had to get so many things. You
try to build anything in New York, the amount of
process that you have to go through is mind numbing.
But he wants to dial back regulations surrounding corporation, but
also corporate tax rate here is cut twenty eight. He
(09:04):
wants to bring the corporate tax rate for companies that
are producing goods in America down to fifteen percent. Listen
to this discussion from New York today.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
To further support the revival of American manufacturing, My plan
calls for expanded R and D tax credits, one hundred
percent bonus appreciation expensing for new manufacturing investments, and a
reduction in the corporate tax rate from twenty one percent
to fifteen percent, solely for companies that make their product
(09:37):
in America.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You have to make your product in America.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
If you outsource offshore or replace American workers, you are
not eligible for any of these benefits. In fact, you
will pay a very substantial tariff. When a product comes
in from another country, that's made in another country and
comes in, there will be a big tariff on that product.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So these are good moves. Again, go back to pre
COVID America. We had the lowest rate of inflation almost
out there at all. We had wages outpacing the cost
of goods, we had mortgages. A lot of you out
there certainly would like to go back to these days
in the two and three quarter percent three percent range.
(10:23):
And the American economy had never been stronger in the
history of the United States. Because Trump's economic policies were
working and starting to fire on all cylinders. And then
China had a virus that they created in a lab
that got out and essentially shut down the world, and
I believe put Joe Biden in office because whatever rig
(10:45):
job they had tried to put in place in the
fall of twenty twenty, if COVID doesn't happen, Trump walks
away with that race. Even when they're trying to rig it,
they managed to scare enough people because of COVID to
put Biden in office. A lot of those people, frankly,
some of you are listening to us right now because
you regret how you voted in twenty twenty. And now
(11:10):
I think they're starting to panic a bit because Kamala
still not talking. I was reading just during commercial break
book a left wing advisor, somebody who's on pod Save
America was complaining because Trump's doing all these podcasts that
appeal to young men, and he's saying that media is
not giving enough scrutiny to those interviews that Trump is
(11:31):
doing with the Theo Vaughns of the world, the Aiden
Rosses of the world. People, if you have kids or
grandkids who are boys that these guys are speaking to,
and Nate Silver responded, you know one thing Kamala could
do is actually do her own interviews, as opposed to
expecting the media to attack Trump for doing his And
we mentioned in August, Trump and Jade Vance did thirty
(11:56):
four national interviews. I think two of them were on
this program. Kamala didn't one with CNN. It's really kind
of crazy to think about. And with Tim Walls there,
she didn't even just do one. She could one with
her with her security blanket next to her.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
You know, oh Tim Wallas is here, Midwesterners, you can
trust me all things?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You imagine if Trump was not doing any interviews at all,
and he did one in August and it was with
Fox News, how much they would be losing their mind
if Kamala was doing thirty four interviews.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
It's tough to even get worked up about it for
McLay just because everybody, we all just know what this is, right,
We get the game. We all have the expectation that
people who say they're journalists and they don't have a
dog in this fight are lying. Okay, we all know that,
So ABC, NBCCBS, CNN, MSNBC. Look, Fox is a is
a conservative or pro Trump leaning network. There are some
(12:47):
people that actually don't like Trump at all, but in general,
but everyone knows that it leans right and no one.
No one sits around being like Fox has no opinion No,
they have opinion shows on at night. They'd present some
shows as news. I mean, I think Brett Behar's show
is quite honestly as fair as any news show you
could find. I don't think it's they present a panel.
(13:07):
The panelists are Republican and Democrats. Nobody on that panel
is dumb. No one's a clay pigeon, right, They're civil
to I've done that panel many times in the past.
They're civil to each other. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm just saying, like we're really getting into this. I
would say Martha McCollum is too, and that's who Trump
wanted to do the Martha McCallum and.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Brett Bayr are both to me very fair. I mean,
CNN did a fair job in the Biden Trump debate.
I think it was in part because I think CNN
had people that wanted Biden out. But they were fair
in that debate, and we said so at the time.
But I mean, you look at their programming and they're
putting people on at seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock
as objective news, and they're just pundits who aren't very entertaining, right,
(13:47):
and they're just pundits without their own thoughts who have
to read off of a prompter. So that's all the reality.
I will also say though, in the thank you Buck
for being calm, thank you for not panicking. Jadie Vance
is doing a nominal job, all right. They unlaunched a
coordinated media.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Oh he doesn't like cat ladies or whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
JD is a very high wattage guy who is a
prime example of the American dream working as it should,
which is that if you take your lumps, but you focus,
you kick ass, and you build something, you can be
somebody that people look up to and that has really
made something of himself. That's the whole game that we
(14:27):
thought we were in. So and you see to your point, Clay,
this is what got me thinking about it. In the
media interviews. JD can handle any of.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
This stuff, okay.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
You see, he's like putting on policy clinics whenever he
sits down, and he's got a compelling life story.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Trump's still speaking, by the way, Buck and now fielding
questions for media in New York, something that Kamala has
still not done since you became the nominee.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
He should be like Kamala should call in. Let's take
a call from Kamala. I'll open the lines for Kamala.
He should start his own little radio show at this
press conference and see if Kamal would have the gumption
to expose herself to media scrutiny. You know, we'll come
back into some of your calls on this. We've also
got a bunch of great guests coming up in a
little bit too. Many of our veterans who served our
(15:10):
country honorably are now homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
The Tunnel the Towers Foundation is doing all they can
to help many of these individuals. Glenda Williams is one
of them. Glinda is a US Army veteran who faced
homelessness along with her five children. She was struggling to
keep up with her rent and basic living expenses. She
lived in a dilapidated home with broken appliances and vermin.
(15:31):
But The Tunnel the Towers Foundation stepped in their veteran
program provided Glinda with shelter in a safe and secure
environment where she and her children are thriving. Glenda has
returned to school since then to pursue a degree, and
her children are excelling in their studies. This is the
kind of stuff Tunnel the Towers does, day in and
day out, keeps our sacred promise to our veterans. Please
(15:55):
join me and Clay in donating. We donate every month.
Donate eleven dollars a month the Tunnel the Towers at
T two t dot org. That's t the number two

unite us all each day. Spend time with Clay and
by find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
All right, team, we've got a quick turnaround here, but
just letting you know that Senator Marsha Blackburn is going
to join us in just a few moments here on
her bipartisan After School Act, which we'll talk about curbing
juvenile violent crime. So very interesting topic. We've also got
at two pm Julie Kelly. We can talk to her
about Hunter Biden guilty plea. So he is now he
(16:45):
is now Hunter Biden, the admitted felon and tax gie.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
He should be.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Hunter Biden the admitted foreign agent. But they let that lapse.
Isn't that so nice of them, let that lapse for
the status intentional in the statue limitations, and then really
interesting to come up in the third hour. Lieutenant Colonel
Jeff Tigus is going to be with us. He's a
friend of mine. He is in Israel and he was
in Gaza yesterday with the IDF. That's my understanding. And
(17:12):
this guy's a special operations warrior twenty five plus years.
I met him through Tim Kennedy years ago. So this
guy is this guy is the real deal, and I
think you're going to really want to hear what he
has to say about what's going on at Israel in
Gaza specifically, and the ground truth that he saw. So, Clay,
our show is stacked today is basically I'm just letting
everyone know we are stacked.

back in Clay, Travis buck Sexton Show, appreciate all of
you hanging out with us. We are rolling through the
(18:59):
Thursday edition of the program. We are joined now by
Senator Marshall Blackburn, who is going to absolutely crush her
Democrat opponent in what sixty one days from now, and
so I look forward to that happening in my home
state of Tennessee. But Senator you guys, let's start here,
because the polling is looking really good for Republicans taking
(19:23):
back control of the Senate. What are you seeing in
the larger landscape out there and how confident are you
that the Republican Party is going to take back control
of the Senate come November.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
We have to make certain that we run hard, that
we work hard, and that we do not take anything
for granted. And if we do that and we get
our message out and we talk about the Biden Harris
record of failure when it comes to the economy, our border,
(19:56):
and crime in this country, then we will win. But
it is taking nothing for granted. And in my race, Clay,
I don't take anything for granted. We are working hard
every day and your audience can follow us at Marsha
Blackburn dot com and also keep up with some of
(20:17):
these other rights consider taking place around the country.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Senator Blackburn's Buck, great to have you as always. We
know that Trump is going up against Kamala next week
on Tuesday in the debate. I know that you know
you and the President have a very good relationship. Are
if you're able to give him some advice? I want
to ask if you are or not, because I know
maybe you're having some private conversations with them, But how
would you advise, as I may say, as a prominent
(20:44):
woman in politics, president Trump to approach debating the Democrat
and obviously female nominee Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
What we have to do is make certain in that
debate that President Trump keeps the fok with some of
the issues. And just as in our messaging when we
talk about the House and Senate Racist Buck, what we
have to do is keep it on this record that
they have and if they were to get another four years,
(21:15):
what they would do, and Kamala Harris would leave the
border open, she would raise taxes, she would let the
Trump tax cuts expire, and these crazy economic ideas, this
crazy economic policy that she has, the ambiguous nature with
which she has approached foreign affairs, in our relationship with Israel,
(21:40):
all of this is a head scratcher to people because
it is such a departure from policies that we've had
in the way that we have worked in the past.
So President Trump gave a speech today to the Economic
Club of New York, which was bought on, and he
handled a wide range of the issues in those remarks.
(22:02):
And I fully believe that if he keeps the focus
on those issues that the American people care about and
that they are focused on, that he is going to
do just fine, and he will be the forty seventh
president of the US.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Senator it seems to be. And I'm guessing this is
what you're seeing on the road, an economy, a border,
and a crime election. Is that what you're hearing mostly
from Tennesseans as you go about the state and prepare
for this election.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
I'm hearing it from Tennesseans, and also as I'm out
and about helping others like Bernie Marino in Ohio and
others of our candidates. I'm hearing it in the other state.
And people are tired of being broke. People are in
sensed that this administration and wants to allow illegal aliens
(23:03):
to vote in our elections. And I had a woman
this morning say to me, are we honestly going to
let people walk across the border and then say here's
your path to citizenship and by the way, here here's
the ballot. You can go vote and remember to vote
for Joe Biden. And that's how blatant they are with this.
(23:25):
And as people look more closely at this, they want
to make certain that their vote is going to count.
They want to make certain that they know who is
going to end up really being in charge of this country,
and they know Joe Biden has not been the one
in charge. And they listen to Kamala Harris and they say,
(23:47):
I'm not so sure she would be the decision maker either.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
We're speaking to Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee. Senator Blackburn,
we know there was a horrific shooting which we haven't
really talked about much on the show yesterday in Georgia
school shooting. Democrats going to politicize it right away with
calls for gun control that aren't going to go anywhere.
But this is what they do in election season. No
(24:11):
time for the families to grieve. I'm wondering if you
could speak to this bill that you're saying is a
bipartisan bill, the After School Act to Curb Juvenile Violent Crime.
What's going on with this?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Yes, this is bipartisan, as you said, and it is
something Senator Cortes Masto and I have worked on. What
we have learned is that violent juvenile crime generally occurs
between the hours of two and six. So this would
be grant for nonprofits to do programs aimed at youth
(24:50):
in those after school hours. And it is a way
to keep these kids involved in activities. It is a
way to keep them from being recruited by gangs. It
is a good positive step. And you have cities like Memphis,
Tennessee here and we've got the city Council and the
(25:13):
County Commission that have endorsed this legislation. It is more
tools to address these problems where they exist, which is
in these communities. And I also have a built the
Safe School Act that I've been pushing since twenty eighteen,
and this would be a nine hundred million dollar grant
(25:35):
program for schools public and private, to access to harden
the schools and put it into security, whether it is
officers or a security assistance or ballistic film cameras. But
(25:55):
the components that are necessary for keeping our children safe
during the school day.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Senator, I don't know if this is public yet, but
I'll go ahead and say it. Sometimes that's dangerous. You
and I are going to be doing an event together
in Jackson, Tennessee, next month, which I'm excited about. I
think on October tenth. We need to get you on
before we do that event. But I'm going to be
out and about campaigning for you. I've also said I'm
going to vote the earliest possible day that I can.
(26:24):
Usually I am an election day voter. I like the
experience of going in, and my wife works at the
local voting place, and she is an election volunteer and
all those things. But you know, and I know that
things can come up on election day. You got a
sick kid, sick grandkid, you got obligations, maybe you don't
(26:45):
feel well. Are you encouraging people as you go around
the state, Hey, get out and get your vote banked.
And if that occurs, how does that help you and
others out there in terms of driving up turnout to
win elections.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yes. October sixteenth says when the early vote starts in
Tennessee and our Marshall Blackburn dot com website has all
of that information, and we are encouraging people to vote
day one and to take friends and neighbors with them
if they are working. Makes is having the safest, most
(27:22):
secure elections in the country here in Tennessee, So we
want to be certain that people take the time to
go vote and get people there on that first day
of early voting.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm going to do it. I'm going to be there
on October sixteenth in my home state at Tennessee, voting
for Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator, on your way out that
website one more time if people want to help you
and ensure that Republicans are going to have the majority
in the Senate this fall.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Yes, it is Marshall Blackburn dot com.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Marsha Blackburn dot com. I'll see you soon, Senator. Keep
up the good work.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Hey yeah, bye bye.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
All right, you heard from Senator Marsha Blackburn. She's on
the campaign trail. You heard yesterday from Senator Bernie Marino,
who is trying to flip Ohio back to a red state.

great time to sign up to be a Clay and
Buck vip. Go to Clayandbuck dot com and you can

can send them into us whenever you're like they're Also
you get to see the video stream. Hey, everybody of
the show up at Clayanbuck dot com. And yes, indeed,
(30:24):
let's go. I'll go into some of these VIP emails
here we have Bill who writes this Russia hoax is
timed with the same goal as the laptop hoax, to
give the candidate a talking point during a debate. She's
going to accuse Trump of being a Russian agent. He
might take debate. I hope he doesn't. If his response
(30:44):
is nasty, that will give Democrats the SoundBite they need
to appeal to college educated white women. A couple things here, Bill.
First of all, I think overall good thinking in this email.
I think it is the case that they are definitely
going to try to bait Trump into angry, nasty Trump.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
In this debate.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
As amusing as that may be sometimes for some of us,
I don't think that's the approach that he should have
up there on the debate stage, especially because it'll probably
be the only debate that he does. And then as
to the timing of this for political reasons, I absolutely
absolutely agree. As for educated, college educated rather white women,
(31:24):
I mean Biden's I mean Biden Kamala is gonna win
that demographic pretty handily regarded.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I would point out to our VIP guy the comments
that he made biden't win after Trump pretty aggressively. You know. Again,
as aggressively as a dementia patient could. But he specifically
referenced Trump having sex with a porn star, which again
it got snowed under because Biden's incompetence was the story,
(31:51):
but he accused him of sexual assault, and Trump didn't
take debate. And I don't think that he's going to
take de bait with Kamala either, because if he didn't
take the bait with Biden, who I believe Trump genuinely dislikes.
I think that there is a great amount can out
there for you.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I think Trump dislikes Biden a whole lot more than
he disliked Hillary. I'm not even sure Trump dislikes Hillary.
Be honest with you, I'm I think he kind of
respects that she's just ferocious and ruthless and will do anything.
I think he has I think we could even ask him.
I think he has more respect for Hillary Clinton than
he does for Joe Biden, and more fondness, if you
could use that word. Trump endorsed Hillary Clinton in two
(32:34):
thousand and eight for president.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Everybody just totally forgets about this, But in two thousand
and eight, Trump said, but to be honest with you, man,
I forgot that and I wasn't even thinking about that,
But now I'm even more sure of what I said.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I think he you know, look, he didn't lock her up,
he didn't have the DJO.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
His wedding buck. I mean with Milania. I mean again,
I think you're right. I think they kind of that.
He kind of likes Hillary and respects her on. I
think he views her as a worthy adversary. Yes, I
think there's a little more of that. I think he
thinks Biden is an outright dirt bag. I think he's
right and a moron. And I think that he believes
Biden is not a smart person. I think he dislikes
(33:15):
Biden far more than he dislikes Kamala. I mean they
have never met, is my understanding. Face to face, Kamala
and Trump have never actually met. Ever. The first time
that they will meet and have interaction together is on
the debate stage on Tuesday. So I don't think Trump's
going to take debate. And I think that Kamala's team
(33:36):
is super nervous. They wanted her to have her I'm
still speaking, you know, moment when the mics are on,
and now that the mics are going to be off,
I think That plays into Trump's favor too, because it
keeps him from being a sort of bossy talkover, which
is an element of his character.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Did Biden and Trump shake at the debate or they
skip that?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Right? They skip that?
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Will Kamala and Trump sh no?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
No? Shake no? Because remember you could tell why can't
we bet on these things? Glady? It is. It's up
on poly market. You can bet on whether or not
they shake hands. But remember you could see from the
moment Biden walked out on June twenty seventh, even as
he walked to his stage position, I remember watching him
(34:25):
walk out because I was seeing whether or not they
were gonna shake hands. But I remember thinking, oh, man,
Biden looks rough, even by Biden's standards, before he even
opened his mouth, as he sort of shambled, ambled whatever
word you want to use over towards his over, towards
his rostrum. There here's something else, Buck that I don't
know people are going to focus on. Kamala A. Harris
(34:47):
is only five to four? Are they going to make
her stand on a box at the debate stage against Trump?
I mean it sounds like a small thing, no pun intended,
but Kamala Harris. They list her at five four, which
probably means she's five to two. Trump's a big dude,
six two sixty three. I'm not even kidding about this.
Are they going to have like an elevated you know
(35:08):
when they did like Saturday Night Live back in the day,
did Michael Ducacus like have a button that he pushed
that rows him up to be taller. Trump's gonna be
a full foot taller than Kamala unless they adjust the
the the podiums to make her look like she's on
eye level with Trump. I don't know that anybody else
(35:28):
has even talked about this. I haven't seen anybody else
discuss it. This will be the largest height differential for
a televised debate. I believe that has ever existed.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Hillary was not a tall person either, But I just
I don't know. Are they gonna give her like a
button and rise right, raise her up behind the Hillary
had bait her hair, gave her a little extra because
it was sort of well swept up. I mean, so
is Trump's. But uh, I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
I wonder, I wonder how the vision of that will
play out, because I think having her having her stand
on a box will be very funny.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Right, They can't do that, I don't think. Maybe they'll
just give her super high George Stephanopoulos is going to
be the moderator. Who's the moderator on this one? He's
a tiny guy. I think it's the really good looking
guy for ABC. David Muir am I right about that,
Dreams Hansome. You know I'm on the Fox lot right now. Buck.
I drove in Tom Brady's huge handsome face on Pico
(36:27):
Boulevard here
We're welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. Donald Trump, as
we mentioned, speaking in New York, laying out some aspects
of his economic agenda. We've had our crew rolling on that.
I want to just play several of the cuts as
Trump is focused on the economy today. Let me also
tell you as we roll into our two here, we've
(00:21):
got a bunch of guests scheduled for you. Marsha Blackburn,
Senator from Tennessee going to be on at one thirty
eastern with us, Julie Kelly from DC, toway in on
Hunter Biden playing guilty, but also the Judge Chutkin hearing
in the Jack Smith d c. Jan sixth related case.
She was in that courtroom in DC. We'll talk about it,
(00:45):
and then we're going to go down to Israel. Out
to Israel wherever you may be at two thirty eastern
for the absolute latest there with Jeff Tigs. That is
on the horizon of where we're going. But let me
hit you with some of these clips that Trump has
laid out as part of the economic speech that he
is giving right now in New York. Let's start with
(01:05):
cut twenty five. Trump large big picture. What's the goal
of his economic plan.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
My plan will rapidly defeat inflation, quickly bring down prices,
and reignite explosive economic growth. Kamala Harris will take more
money out of American pockets. My plan will leave the
typical family with many thousands of dollars more than they
have right now. First, I will end Kamala Harris's anti
(01:32):
energy crusade and implement a policy of energy abundance, energy independence,
and even energy dominance.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We have more liquid gold under.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Our feet than any other country, including Russia and Saudi Arabia,
will be using it. My plan will cut energy prices
in half or more than that within twelve months.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Okay, so that's cut twenty five. He specifically said, as
he's going to terminate the Green New Deal. That is
Cut twenty six, and then a couple of more clips
I'll call for. But here is I'm doing away with
the Green New Deal once and for all. This is
Trump today in New.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
York to further defeed inflation.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
My plan will terminate the Green New Deal, which I
call the Green New Scam. Greatest scam in history, probably
a ten trillion dollar scam that we waste.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
We throw it like throwing money right out the window.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It actually sets us back, as opposed to it moves
us forward, and we send all unspent funds under the
misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, which the Democrats agreed after it
was approved that it wasn't for that purpose, it was
for other purposes like giveaways.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Okay, buck, I love this idea Elon Musk, who has
endorsed Trump and become very active. I saw Elon Musk
tweet that he thinks this is the most important election
because when it comes to free speech, if Kamal is
put into office, the amount of restrictions we will see
in the United States will be substantial. Trump says he
wants Elon Musk to be the head of the Government
(03:07):
Efficiency Commission. That's certainly a redundancy given most government agencies.
Here's what he said about Elon.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Complete and total endorsement. That's nice, smart guy. He knows
what he's doing. He knows what he's doing, very much appreciated.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I will create a Government Efficiency Commission task with conducting
a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal
government and making recommendations for drastic reforms we need to do.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It can't go on the way we are now.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And Elon, because he's not very busy, has agreed to
hit that task force. Be interesting if he has the time,
have a good one to do it, but he's agreed
to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So these are economic policies. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, I was going to say, didn't he fire, meaning
Elon Musk seventy or eighty percent of Twitter employees and
now it's X And I mean I would argue that
the site is better than it's ever been with more upside.
I know they're trying to tell you, oh, all the
share value has been lost. Yeah, well he had to
cut it down. He had to basically tear it down
to the studs and the foundation and rebuild just on
(04:18):
the site where Twitter had formerly been in a lot
of ways. But I think he's got a phenomenal job
with it. And more importantly the reality of Twitter was
that it had become a left wing social justice organization
incubated inside of a tech company, and then it took
over right. The relationship perhaps at first was a parasite,
(04:41):
and then it was symbiotic, and then it was dominance.
And I think that you see this unfortunately in the
federal government too. I worked in the federal government. The
truth is that a vast majority I don't want I know.
In the Hillary election, I think it was something like
ninety five percent of federal government employees donated Hillary over Trump, right,
(05:02):
something something astonishingly high. And you just say, why is that? Well,
because there are a lot of people work in the
federal government who inherently believe in the system, but they
also want to be self paced in their work output, unfireable,
and not really subject to you know, the ups and
downs of the real economy and things like that. And again,
I was a federal govern employee. I know about this attitude,
(05:25):
and it's one of the reasons I left the federal
government and lasted that long. And Clay, I think that
Elon could do an incredible job, because that's when people
talk about the swamp. The federal bureaucracy is in many
ways the worst part of it, because it's the forever state,
and it's the ungovernment, it's the unaccountable governance branch that
(05:46):
the founding fathers certainly didn't see it this way. Why
has it become what it is? Why is it this Leviathan?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I think you could fire fifty or seventy five percent
of all federal government employees and the actual government's efficiency
would not change at all. And I suspect that Elon
must knows that now they have union protections. It's very
hard to fire people unfortunately inside of the government, even
when they are behaving inappropriately and engaging in fireable offenses.
(06:14):
But I think our government would be far better off
if we could just come in with a and wipe
out half of all federal government employees. I mean, even
the Pentagon. You know, I read Elon's most recent.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Biography, you know, that was the Isaacson one that came out.
I thought it was very good, and you know, by
getting involved in the aerospace, effectively sending rockets into outer
space industry, he came up against the reality of aerospace
and defense with the.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Federal government, which are these.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
They called a what is it a plus plus margin
contract or it's essentially a plus expense plus cost cost plus.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's what it is.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Cost plus contract where you get to just run up
all your costs as long as you want fully reimbursed.
For all of your costs and then get like a
twenty percent profit on top of that.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's how people.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Wonder why we're not doing any cool stuff in space
and why a private company had to come along.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That is true throughout the federal government. You want to
talk about fraud, waste, and abuse.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I think they think something like sixty billion dollars a
year and medicaid fraud occurs.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Think of it, sixty billions. I know. Now, Look to me,
the most impressive thing Elon has done is Tesla is
an amazing company that has been very successful, and he
redesigned the way that we power vehicles. He's better at
sending rockets to space than NASA, and NASA had a
(07:42):
seventy year head start on him. I mean, it really
is extraordinary. I mean we have we can't get I'm
surprised this hasn't gotten a bigger story. Have you paid attention?
There are two astronauts stuck in space right now. We
cannot get them back. They were supposed to leave go
for eight days and instead they're going to be there
(08:03):
for eight months. This is real, not a lot to
talk about it. We're having to use SpaceX to get
them back. Our government can't get our astronauts back right now.
Our government has to go to Elon and.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Say, excuse me, Elon, can you help us. That's where
Uncle Sam is these days.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Think about how crazy that is. We sent two astronauts
to space and our government doesn't have the capabilities to
get them back. We have to get them back with
Elon Musk. One more thing, by the way, speaking of efficiency,
I do think this is important. And to me, again,
First Amendment is the most important issue at stake here
because without those freedoms, we have no freedoms. But I
do think Trump understands basic economics in a way that
(08:43):
Kamala does not. And that makes sense because Trump was
a builder. He had to get so many things. You
try to build anything in New York, the amount of
process that you have to go through is mind numbing.
But he wants to dial back regulations surrounding corporation, but
also corporate tax rate here is cut twenty eight. He
(09:04):
wants to bring the corporate tax rate for companies that
are producing goods in America down to fifteen percent. Listen
to this discussion from New York today.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
To further support the revival of American manufacturing, My plan
calls for expanded R and D tax credits, one hundred
percent bonus appreciation expensing for new manufacturing investments, and a
reduction in the corporate tax rate from twenty one percent
to fifteen percent, solely for companies that make their product
(09:37):
in America.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You have to make your product in America.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
If you outsource offshore or replace American workers, you are
not eligible for any of these benefits. In fact, you
will pay a very substantial tariff. When a product comes
in from another country, that's made in another country and
comes in, there will be a big tariff on that product.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So these are good moves. Again, go back to pre
COVID America. We had the lowest rate of inflation almost
out there at all. We had wages outpacing the cost
of goods, we had mortgages. A lot of you out
there certainly would like to go back to these days
in the two and three quarter percent three percent range.
(10:23):
And the American economy had never been stronger in the
history of the United States. Because Trump's economic policies were
working and starting to fire on all cylinders. And then
China had a virus that they created in a lab
that got out and essentially shut down the world, and
I believe put Joe Biden in office because whatever rig
(10:45):
job they had tried to put in place in the
fall of twenty twenty, if COVID doesn't happen, Trump walks
away with that race. Even when they're trying to rig it,
they managed to scare enough people because of COVID to
put Biden in office. A lot of those people, frankly,
some of you are listening to us right now because
you regret how you voted in twenty twenty. And now
(11:10):
I think they're starting to panic a bit because Kamala
still not talking. I was reading just during commercial break
book a left wing advisor, somebody who's on pod Save
America was complaining because Trump's doing all these podcasts that
appeal to young men, and he's saying that media is
not giving enough scrutiny to those interviews that Trump is
(11:31):
doing with the Theo Vaughns of the world, the Aiden
Rosses of the world. People, if you have kids or
grandkids who are boys that these guys are speaking to,
and Nate Silver responded, you know one thing Kamala could
do is actually do her own interviews, as opposed to
expecting the media to attack Trump for doing his And
we mentioned in August, Trump and Jade Vance did thirty
(11:56):
four national interviews. I think two of them were on
this program. Kamala didn't one with CNN. It's really kind
of crazy to think about. And with Tim Walls there,
she didn't even just do one. She could one with
her with her security blanket next to her.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
You know, oh Tim Wallas is here, Midwesterners, you can
trust me all things?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You imagine if Trump was not doing any interviews at all,
and he did one in August and it was with
Fox News, how much they would be losing their mind
if Kamala was doing thirty four interviews.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
It's tough to even get worked up about it for
McLay just because everybody, we all just know what this is, right,
We get the game. We all have the expectation that
people who say they're journalists and they don't have a
dog in this fight are lying. Okay, we all know that,
So ABC, NBCCBS, CNN, MSNBC. Look, Fox is a is
a conservative or pro Trump leaning network. There are some
(12:47):
people that actually don't like Trump at all, but in general,
but everyone knows that it leans right and no one.
No one sits around being like Fox has no opinion No,
they have opinion shows on at night. They'd present some
shows as news. I mean, I think Brett Behar's show
is quite honestly as fair as any news show you
could find. I don't think it's they present a panel.
(13:07):
The panelists are Republican and Democrats. Nobody on that panel
is dumb. No one's a clay pigeon, right, They're civil
to I've done that panel many times in the past.
They're civil to each other. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm just saying, like we're really getting into this. I
would say Martha McCollum is too, and that's who Trump
wanted to do the Martha McCallum and.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Brett Bayr are both to me very fair. I mean,
CNN did a fair job in the Biden Trump debate.
I think it was in part because I think CNN
had people that wanted Biden out. But they were fair
in that debate, and we said so at the time.
But I mean, you look at their programming and they're
putting people on at seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock
as objective news, and they're just pundits who aren't very entertaining, right,
(13:47):
and they're just pundits without their own thoughts who have
to read off of a prompter. So that's all the reality.
I will also say though, in the thank you Buck
for being calm, thank you for not panicking. Jadie Vance
is doing a nominal job, all right. They unlaunched a
coordinated media.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Oh he doesn't like cat ladies or whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
JD is a very high wattage guy who is a
prime example of the American dream working as it should,
which is that if you take your lumps, but you focus,
you kick ass, and you build something, you can be
somebody that people look up to and that has really
made something of himself. That's the whole game that we
(14:27):
thought we were in. So and you see to your point, Clay,
this is what got me thinking about it. In the
media interviews. JD can handle any of.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
This stuff, okay.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
You see, he's like putting on policy clinics whenever he
sits down, and he's got a compelling life story.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Trump's still speaking, by the way, Buck and now fielding
questions for media in New York, something that Kamala has
still not done since you became the nominee.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
He should be like Kamala should call in. Let's take
a call from Kamala. I'll open the lines for Kamala.
He should start his own little radio show at this
press conference and see if Kamal would have the gumption
to expose herself to media scrutiny. You know, we'll come
back into some of your calls on this. We've also
got a bunch of great guests coming up in a
little bit too. Many of our veterans who served our
(15:10):
country honorably are now homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
The Tunnel the Towers Foundation is doing all they can
to help many of these individuals. Glenda Williams is one
of them. Glinda is a US Army veteran who faced
homelessness along with her five children. She was struggling to
keep up with her rent and basic living expenses. She
lived in a dilapidated home with broken appliances and vermin.
(15:31):
But The Tunnel the Towers Foundation stepped in their veteran
program provided Glinda with shelter in a safe and secure
environment where she and her children are thriving. Glenda has
returned to school since then to pursue a degree, and
her children are excelling in their studies. This is the
kind of stuff Tunnel the Towers does, day in and
day out, keeps our sacred promise to our veterans. Please
(15:55):
join me and Clay in donating. We donate every month.
Donate eleven dollars a month the Tunnel the Towers at

unite us all each day. Spend time with Clay and
by find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
All right, team, we've got a quick turnaround here, but
just letting you know that Senator Marsha Blackburn is going
to join us in just a few moments here on
her bipartisan After School Act, which we'll talk about curbing
juvenile violent crime. So very interesting topic. We've also got
at two pm Julie Kelly. We can talk to her
about Hunter Biden guilty plea. So he is now he
(16:45):
is now Hunter Biden, the admitted felon and tax gie.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
He should be.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Hunter Biden the admitted foreign agent. But they let that lapse.
Isn't that so nice of them, let that lapse for
the status intentional in the statue limitations, and then really
interesting to come up in the third hour. Lieutenant Colonel
Jeff Tigus is going to be with us. He's a
friend of mine. He is in Israel and he was
in Gaza yesterday with the IDF. That's my understanding. And
(17:12):
this guy's a special operations warrior twenty five plus years.
I met him through Tim Kennedy years ago. So this
guy is this guy is the real deal, and I
think you're going to really want to hear what he
has to say about what's going on at Israel in
Gaza specifically, and the ground truth that he saw. So, Clay,
our show is stacked today is basically I'm just letting
everyone know we are stacked.

back in Clay, Travis buck Sexton Show, appreciate all of
you hanging out with us. We are rolling through the
(18:59):
Thursday edition of the program. We are joined now by
Senator Marshall Blackburn, who is going to absolutely crush her
Democrat opponent in what sixty one days from now, and
so I look forward to that happening in my home
state of Tennessee. But Senator you guys, let's start here,
because the polling is looking really good for Republicans taking
(19:23):
back control of the Senate. What are you seeing in
the larger landscape out there and how confident are you
that the Republican Party is going to take back control
of the Senate come November.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
We have to make certain that we run hard, that
we work hard, and that we do not take anything
for granted. And if we do that and we get
our message out and we talk about the Biden Harris
record of failure when it comes to the economy, our border,
(19:56):
and crime in this country, then we will win. But
it is taking nothing for granted. And in my race, Clay,
I don't take anything for granted. We are working hard
every day and your audience can follow us at Marsha
Blackburn dot com and also keep up with some of
(20:17):
these other rights consider taking place around the country.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Senator Blackburn's Buck, great to have you as always. We
know that Trump is going up against Kamala next week
on Tuesday in the debate. I know that you know
you and the President have a very good relationship. Are
if you're able to give him some advice? I want
to ask if you are or not, because I know
maybe you're having some private conversations with them, But how
would you advise, as I may say, as a prominent
(20:44):
woman in politics, president Trump to approach debating the Democrat
and obviously female nominee Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
What we have to do is make certain in that
debate that President Trump keeps the fok with some of
the issues. And just as in our messaging when we
talk about the House and Senate Racist Buck, what we
have to do is keep it on this record that
they have and if they were to get another four years,
(21:15):
what they would do, and Kamala Harris would leave the
border open, she would raise taxes, she would let the
Trump tax cuts expire, and these crazy economic ideas, this
crazy economic policy that she has, the ambiguous nature with
which she has approached foreign affairs, in our relationship with Israel,
(21:40):
all of this is a head scratcher to people because
it is such a departure from policies that we've had
in the way that we have worked in the past.
So President Trump gave a speech today to the Economic
Club of New York, which was bought on, and he
handled a wide range of the issues in those remarks.
(22:02):
And I fully believe that if he keeps the focus
on those issues that the American people care about and
that they are focused on, that he is going to
do just fine, and he will be the forty seventh
president of the US.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Senator it seems to be. And I'm guessing this is
what you're seeing on the road, an economy, a border,
and a crime election. Is that what you're hearing mostly
from Tennesseans as you go about the state and prepare
for this election.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
I'm hearing it from Tennesseans, and also as I'm out
and about helping others like Bernie Marino in Ohio and
others of our candidates. I'm hearing it in the other state.
And people are tired of being broke. People are in
sensed that this administration and wants to allow illegal aliens
(23:03):
to vote in our elections. And I had a woman
this morning say to me, are we honestly going to
let people walk across the border and then say here's
your path to citizenship and by the way, here here's
the ballot. You can go vote and remember to vote
for Joe Biden. And that's how blatant they are with this.
(23:25):
And as people look more closely at this, they want
to make certain that their vote is going to count.
They want to make certain that they know who is
going to end up really being in charge of this country,
and they know Joe Biden has not been the one
in charge. And they listen to Kamala Harris and they say,
(23:47):
I'm not so sure she would be the decision maker either.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
We're speaking to Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee. Senator Blackburn,
we know there was a horrific shooting which we haven't
really talked about much on the show yesterday in Georgia
school shooting. Democrats going to politicize it right away with
calls for gun control that aren't going to go anywhere.
But this is what they do in election season. No
(24:11):
time for the families to grieve. I'm wondering if you
could speak to this bill that you're saying is a
bipartisan bill, the After School Act to Curb Juvenile Violent Crime.
What's going on with this?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Yes, this is bipartisan, as you said, and it is
something Senator Cortes Masto and I have worked on. What
we have learned is that violent juvenile crime generally occurs
between the hours of two and six. So this would
be grant for nonprofits to do programs aimed at youth
(24:50):
in those after school hours. And it is a way
to keep these kids involved in activities. It is a
way to keep them from being recruited by gangs. It
is a good positive step. And you have cities like Memphis,
Tennessee here and we've got the city Council and the
(25:13):
County Commission that have endorsed this legislation. It is more
tools to address these problems where they exist, which is
in these communities. And I also have a built the
Safe School Act that I've been pushing since twenty eighteen,
and this would be a nine hundred million dollar grant
(25:35):
program for schools public and private, to access to harden
the schools and put it into security, whether it is
officers or a security assistance or ballistic film cameras. But
(25:55):
the components that are necessary for keeping our children safe
during the school day.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Senator, I don't know if this is public yet, but
I'll go ahead and say it. Sometimes that's dangerous. You
and I are going to be doing an event together
in Jackson, Tennessee, next month, which I'm excited about. I
think on October tenth. We need to get you on
before we do that event. But I'm going to be
out and about campaigning for you. I've also said I'm
going to vote the earliest possible day that I can.
(26:24):
Usually I am an election day voter. I like the
experience of going in, and my wife works at the
local voting place, and she is an election volunteer and
all those things. But you know, and I know that
things can come up on election day. You got a
sick kid, sick grandkid, you got obligations, maybe you don't
(26:45):
feel well. Are you encouraging people as you go around
the state, Hey, get out and get your vote banked.
And if that occurs, how does that help you and
others out there in terms of driving up turnout to
win elections.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yes. October sixteenth says when the early vote starts in
Tennessee and our Marshall Blackburn dot com website has all
of that information, and we are encouraging people to vote
day one and to take friends and neighbors with them
if they are working. Makes is having the safest, most
(27:22):
secure elections in the country here in Tennessee, So we
want to be certain that people take the time to
go vote and get people there on that first day
of early voting.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm going to do it. I'm going to be there
on October sixteenth in my home state at Tennessee, voting
for Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator, on your way out that
website one more time if people want to help you
and ensure that Republicans are going to have the majority
in the Senate this fall.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Yes, it is Marshall Blackburn dot com.
Speaker 1 (27:55):

up the good work.

Welcome back into Clay and Bok. Want to remind you
great time to sign up to be a Clay and
Buck vip. Go to Clayandbuck dot com and you can
send us fantastic emails, probably the best emails ever. You
can send them into us whenever you're like they're Also
you get to see the video stream. Hey, everybody of
the show up at Clayanbuck dot com. And yes, indeed,
(30:24):
let's go. I'll go into some of these VIP emails
here we have Bill who writes this Russia hoax is
timed with the same goal as the laptop hoax, to
give the candidate a talking point during a debate. She's
going to accuse Trump of being a Russian agent. He
might take debate. I hope he doesn't. If his response
(30:44):
is nasty, that will give Democrats the SoundBite they need
to appeal to college educated white women. A couple things here, Bill.
First of all, I think overall good thinking in this email.
I think it is the case that they are definitely
going to try to bait Trump into angry, nasty Trump.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
In this debate.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
As amusing as that may be sometimes for some of us,
I don't think that's the approach that he should have
up there on the debate stage, especially because it'll probably
be the only debate that he does. And then as
to the timing of this for political reasons, I absolutely
absolutely agree. As for educated, college educated rather white women,
(31:24):
I mean Biden's I mean Biden Kamala is gonna win
that demographic pretty handily regarded.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I would point out to our VIP guy the comments
that he made biden't win after Trump pretty aggressively. You know. Again,
as aggressively as a dementia patient could. But he specifically
referenced Trump having sex with a porn star, which again
it got snowed under because Biden's incompetence was the story,
(31:51):
but he accused him of sexual assault, and Trump didn't
take debate. And I don't think that he's going to
take de bait with Kamala either, because if he didn't
take the bait with Biden, who I believe Trump genuinely dislikes.
I think that there is a great amount can out
there for you.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I think Trump dislikes Biden a whole lot more than
he disliked Hillary. I'm not even sure Trump dislikes Hillary.
Be honest with you, I'm I think he kind of
respects that she's just ferocious and ruthless and will do anything.
I think he has I think we could even ask him.
I think he has more respect for Hillary Clinton than
he does for Joe Biden, and more fondness, if you
could use that word. Trump endorsed Hillary Clinton in two
(32:34):
thousand and eight for president.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Everybody just totally forgets about this, But in two thousand
and eight, Trump said, but to be honest with you, man,
I forgot that and I wasn't even thinking about that,
But now I'm even more sure of what I said.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I think he you know, look, he didn't lock her up,
he didn't have the DJO.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
His wedding buck. I mean with Milania. I mean again,
I think you're right. I think they kind of that.
He kind of likes Hillary and respects her on. I
think he views her as a worthy adversary. Yes, I
think there's a little more of that. I think he
thinks Biden is an outright dirt bag. I think he's
right and a moron. And I think that he believes
Biden is not a smart person. I think he dislikes
(33:15):
Biden far more than he dislikes Kamala. I mean they
have never met, is my understanding. Face to face, Kamala
and Trump have never actually met. Ever. The first time
that they will meet and have interaction together is on
the debate stage on Tuesday. So I don't think Trump's
going to take debate. And I think that Kamala's team
(33:36):
is super nervous. They wanted her to have her I'm
still speaking, you know, moment when the mics are on,
and now that the mics are going to be off,
I think That plays into Trump's favor too, because it
keeps him from being a sort of bossy talkover, which
is an element of his character.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Did Biden and Trump shake at the debate or they
skip that?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Right? They skip that?
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Will Kamala and Trump sh no?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
No? Shake no? Because remember you could tell why can't
we bet on these things? Glady? It is. It's up
on poly market. You can bet on whether or not
they shake hands. But remember you could see from the
moment Biden walked out on June twenty seventh, even as
he walked to his stage position, I remember watching him
(34:25):
walk out because I was seeing whether or not they
were gonna shake hands. But I remember thinking, oh, man,
Biden looks rough, even by Biden's standards, before he even
opened his mouth, as he sort of shambled, ambled whatever
word you want to use over towards his over, towards
his rostrum. There here's something else, Buck that I don't
know people are going to focus on. Kamala A. Harris
(34:47):
is only five to four? Are they going to make
her stand on a box at the debate stage against Trump?
I mean it sounds like a small thing, no pun intended,
but Kamala Harris. They list her at five four, which
probably means she's five to two. Trump's a big dude,
six two sixty three. I'm not even kidding about this.
Are they going to have like an elevated you know
(35:08):
when they did like Saturday Night Live back in the day,
did Michael Ducacus like have a button that he pushed
that rows him up to be taller. Trump's gonna be
a full foot taller than Kamala unless they adjust the
the the podiums to make her look like she's on
eye level with Trump. I don't know that anybody else
(35:28):
has even talked about this. I haven't seen anybody else
discuss it. This will be the largest height differential for
a televised debate. I believe that has ever existed.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Hillary was not a tall person either, But I just
I don't know. Are they gonna give her like a
button and rise right, raise her up behind the Hillary
had bait her hair, gave her a little extra because
it was sort of well swept up. I mean, so
is Trump's. But uh, I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
I wonder, I wonder how the vision of that will
play out, because I think having her having her stand
on a box will be very funny.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Right, They can't do that, I don't think. Maybe they'll
just give her super high George Stephanopoulos is going to
be the moderator. Who's the moderator on this one? He's
a tiny guy. I think it's the really good looking
guy for ABC. David Muir am I right about that,
Dreams Hansome. You know I'm on the Fox lot right now. Buck.
I drove in Tom Brady's huge handsome face on Pico
