1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Friday edition of Clay and Buck kicks off. Now, everybody,

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: thanks for being here with us. Much to discuss. The

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: race is on Trump the Kamala at twenty twenty four.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: It feels fully underway now Democrats, not even a pete,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: not a chirp from the bleachers about a third option.

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: It is Kamala. She has the delegates, She's going into

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: the d n C as the not even the air apparent,

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: the air I mean, she is the one taking over.

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: So we will break down all of that for you today.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: And also Clay informed me right before he went on

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: air that the Olympics is happening, so people can watch

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: track and field for the first time in four years.

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: I'm telling you swimming, which nobody else I know. There's

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: inevitably anytime we say things like this, people delus.

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Just with I watch swimming every day.

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: You know.

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so some of you are probably diehard swimming fans.

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: Most of us, to your point, Buck, watch track and

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: field and swimming once every four years. Basically it is

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: now that season. And I will say this is the

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: first normal Olympics maybe we've had in eight years, because

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: they pushed it back a year and it was still

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: the COVID Olympics.

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: This should be a fun.

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: Experience and the opening ceremonies are taking place while we

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: are live on the air today from Paris for those

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: of you who don't know.

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of back and forth on the

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: debate that is supposed to happen that I wanted to

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: get to the Kamala campaign. That's what it is now,

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: a campaign. She is the person Michelle and Barack Obama

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: have come out to endorse. So there is no it

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: is Kamala. Thought this would be the case for quite

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: some time. If not Biden, then Kamala. It is Kamala,

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: and they are very enthusiastic. They are buoyed, perhaps in

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: their hopes it's a good usage of the term I

37
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: think of being able to not only make this a

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: competitive race that will protect down ballot races, but I

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: think a lot of Democrats are starting to believe the

40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Kama can actually be Trump. They certainly are convincing themselves

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: and are they convincing others as well. This is why

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: I think the debate that's coming up is going to

43
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of attention. Trump essentially had a

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: knockout in the debate with Joe Biden. That was what

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: undid him. I'm not bitter about it, Joe, But if

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: you had just not been such a dumbass and waited

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: to debate until the fall, Clay would be buying me

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: a delicious steak. But no, but no, you had to

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: go out there like a doddering old fool and make

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: a mess of it all, Joe. So here we are

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: Clay enjoying the victory lap and Buck just saying what

52
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: could have been? It was so close, so.

53
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: Close, we fumbled on the one yard line, Joe, so

54
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: much rather be Bat buying you the most expensive steak

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: of all time and Joe Biden be the nominee, then

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: have you buying me the most expensive stake of all

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: time and Kamala Harris being the nominee? Because I think

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: whenever we sit down, this is gonna be a stressful fall.

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: Now, yes, it's gonna be Biden could win the machine.

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: The machine has completely mobilized behind Kamala. And what we

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: see is that Joe Biden's age was the unavoidable thing

62
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: that the Democrats. Once he got on stage again, they

63
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: were all in. And I think this is important. Remember

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: they were all in on pretending he was fine through

65
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: the election, because if they weren't, you would have had

66
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: New York Times editorials and all the stuff that we

67
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: saw saying Joe stepped down in January actually would have

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: had in last summer. Right, if they were gonna be

69
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: sh honest about this, they thought they could get away

70
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: with it. They thought they could fool enough of the

71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: American people to pull this off for four more years.

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Now we're past that, and now it's Kamala. Let's get

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: into some of this. First off, there's dishonesty and then

74
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: there's just stupidity, and those things often go together. But Clay,

75
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: when they tell us that Joe, I mean that Trump

76
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: rather is backpedaling on the debate. I mean you had

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: to Pete Buddha Judge talking about this. There are others

78
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: as well. Here, let's go to cut seventeen. This is

79
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris on the debate with Trump. Let's hear at

80
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: play seventeen.

81
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: I'll tell you I'm ready to debate Donald Trump. I

82
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 4: have agreed to the previously agreed upon September tenth debate.

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: He agreed to that previously. Now Pearcey's backpedaling, But I'm ready,

84
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 4: and I think the voters deserve to see the split

85
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: screen that exists in this race on a debate stage,

86
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: and so I'm ready.

87
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Let's go. Okay, that is a agreement that was made

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: between two people. You know, somebody else could call in

89
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: and say, oh, but you also owe me a steak

90
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: buck because I agreed with Clay on this one, you know,

91
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: not the jd Evans one. We won that one team.

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: But you know, and I would say no, that the

93
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: deal was with Clay. Clay and I had a gentleman's bet, right.

94
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is a different candidate, and we all understand

95
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: that the circumstances of the debate, for example, ABC News,

96
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: George Stephanopoulos, they will pull out all the stops the

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: media that people were expecting in the CNN some people

98
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't were expecting in the CNN debate that did

99
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: not show up. They played the CNN debate straight because

100
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: what they didn't want to do was look pathetic with doddering,

101
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: old fool Biden just being Biden, which would be enough,

102
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: and them attacking Trump like attack dogs, right, because that

103
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: would undermine them. Now, it's a different dynamic that Trump

104
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: campaign should absolutely not agree to an ABC News debate

105
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: with Kamala Harris when the media knows they have to

106
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: do everything in their power or to help her win.

107
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 2: This no doubt. And I mean it's a new negotiation.

108
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: So Trump knocked out Joe Biden. I think they can

109
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: do a good job of making that argument. And I

110
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: think what the Trump team should say is we want

111
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: multiple debates. We don't just want one on September tenth.

112
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: And Trump should be negotiating from a position of strength

113
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: now because he already agreed any time, any place, anywhere,

114
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: and he showed up and he knocked Joe Biden's political

115
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: career out forever, and now I don't want just one

116
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: debate on ABC on September tenth. I believe Trump has

117
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: agreed to a Fox News debate on September seventeenth, which

118
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: has been suggested, with Martha McCollum and Brett Bayer.

119
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: As the moderators.

120
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: I think that's fair and now they'll sit down and

121
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: figure out I also think Trump has put out a

122
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: statement saying, hey, we want to wait until we know

123
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: who the actual nominee is, which is also fair, and

124
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: it will like they're going to nominate Kamala Harris earlier

125
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: than the official nomination, meaning the Democrat National Convention, which

126
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: happens in late August. Here is also what I would

127
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: add associated with this. I think what the polls look

128
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: like at the end of next week is going to

129
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: be really important, because I told you early this week

130
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: I thought Kamala Harris would get a seven to ten

131
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: day bump as a lot of people become excited about her.

132
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: She's a new candidate. She may get another bump when

133
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: she adds her vice president, but to what extent is

134
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: her water level? In other words, as people become more

135
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: aware of who she is and as there are attacks

136
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: levied against her, where is this race going to be?

137
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: Right about time the DNC starts, and then also Labor Day,

138
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: when a lot of people come out of their summer vacations,

139
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: when everybody's kids are back in school, and the quote

140
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: unquote normal world starts to really pay attention to the

141
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: fact that we're in the midst of a heavy political process.

142
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: So far, Kamala has not been able to take a

143
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: lead in the collective polls that are out there, but

144
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: it's tighter than it was, which is kind of what

145
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: we anticipated.

146
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: I will say Buck.

147
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: Kamala now in the gambling markets, has taken the lead

148
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: in Michigan. Now it's fifty one to forty nine. But

149
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: this is the first time there's been a lead in

150
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: the Midwest states for a Democrat in a while. Now

151
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: Trump still has a decent lead in Pennsylvania, still has

152
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: a decent lead in Arizona, Georgia, all the other battleground states.

153
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: But I do think this is sort of the tightening,

154
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: for lack of a better way to describe it, and

155
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,239
Speaker 2: it's happening a little bit earlier Biden couldn't win, Democrats

156
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: recognized it. His age was ultimately the knockout factor. In

157
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: conjunction with that debate, Democrats have now brought in the

158
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: backup quarterback. So far, she's got a good first quarter.

159
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: In a sports analogy, how often does the backup quarterback

160
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: come in play well in the first quarter and then

161
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: something goes a little bit awry and they kind of

162
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: fall apart.

163
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: Usually there's a reason there.

164
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: Backup quarterback is Kamala someone who can be an elite

165
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,479
Speaker 2: political leader. I have my doubts, but so far Democrats

166
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: are rallying around her like she can. Now here's the

167
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: one advantage I would say buck that Trump has. I

168
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: really still feel like no matter who is attacking him,

169
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: there is no new ground of attack, and there it's

170
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: painful to get attacked and ripped and torn asunder when

171
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: you enter into the political sphere. But at some point

172
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: the American public knows you and there's nothing new that

173
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: can come out that changes people's opinions about Trump. We

174
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: saw this, I think with the lawfair They tried to

175
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: put him in prison for the rest of his life.

176
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: They charged him with whatever it was, ninety felonies all

177
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: over the country, and it actually benefited him because people

178
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: thought Democrats were overreaching. They charged him with sexual assault

179
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: in the civil context, they hit him with a four

180
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollar fine. None of it worked.

181
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: I have some cautious optimism that there's nothing that Kamala

182
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: Harris can say that is going to change people's opinions

183
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. He has a high floor, maybe a

184
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: woe ceiling, But I think Trump's positive negatives, trumpiness is

185
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: baked in with the electorate. I don't think most people

186
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: really know Kamala Harris, and I think some of the

187
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: punches that the Trump campaign is going to land on

188
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: her are going to register in a way that the

189
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: counterpunches don't. Does that make sense?

190
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: Now?

191
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: The debates could still matter in a big way because

192
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: if Trump came out and and performed in a really

193
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: poor fashion like Biden did, I think that could change expectations.

194
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: But I just think Trump's a known quantity, and that's

195
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: the thing I like the most. As we sit here,

196
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: basically three months out, I.

197
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: Just wonder how Trump is going to approach this debate.

198
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: You know, there's so much posturing and so much propaganda

199
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: and messaging and countermessaging out there right now about how

200
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: Kamala's candidacy is being received and the weaknesses of Trump.

201
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: And you know, we all understood all of the dynamics

202
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: with Trump and Biden. You know, you really did that.

203
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: There were no surprises. You knew what Trump was going

204
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: to say about Biden, you knew what Biden was going

205
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: to say about Trump, and just their weaknesses and strengths

206
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: were apparent to everyone, not just from an analytic perspective,

207
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: but for the electrode, I think I think it was

208
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: pretty clear why people went with one or the other.

209
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: The thing that is definitely emerging right now as I

210
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: see a Clay is they're turning this into a battle

211
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: over women, right, this is already the influencers and the

212
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: pundits and everything else. They yes, they really think that

213
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: the way they win this thing with Biden and Trump,

214
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: it was who is going to win. Biden was going

215
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: to win the black vote by a huge majority. The

216
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: demographic that was going to determine it was working class

217
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: white males in the swing states. Like that was what

218
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: it was. That was what it came down to in

219
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and that was what it was going to

220
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: come down to. Now, a lot of them it was

221
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: that they didn't show up for Trump, but put that

222
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: aside this time around, Clay, I think they believe that

223
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: they can do a lot of damage to Trump's electoral chances,

224
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: a lot more damage on the female side of the equation. Yes,

225
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: they think that women can deliver this. For Kamala So

226
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: while we talk about her as DEI really the identity

227
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: politics of gender may be primary in this and I'm

228
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: seeing that start to emerge as a major theme of

229
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: the campaign. I'm gonna make a prediction now, I think

230
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're gonna keep saying it, but you're just

231
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: gonna feel their heart's not in it with the like

232
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: DEFENSEI of democracy. It's a new era, new time, a

233
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: new candidate. I think they realize that stuff that was

234
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: the Biden thing.

235
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,359
Speaker 2: I also think there's gonna be a lot of attempted

236
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: bullying of black men, who I still think are very

237
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: responsive to Trump. But there's gonna be a lot of

238
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 2: you know, you should be voting for the black women.

239
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: They're going to try to enact cultural pressure. And we'll

240
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: play some audio from Steph Curry, who is a prominent

241
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: basketball player right now on the US men's Olympic team

242
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: overseas in Paris, already endorsing Kamala Harris.

243
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: I do think that's going to be a part of

244
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: their strategy too.

245
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: Because if I'm right and twenty five percent of black

246
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: men vote for Trump, there is no pathway for Democrats

247
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: to win, and they know that they have to get

248
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: percent or more of black men, and so I think

249
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: you're going to start to see cultural pressure exerted on

250
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: black men to get behind Kamala Harris because she's a

251
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: black woman and just the racial solidarity argument is coming.

252
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: I think a lot of you out there who are

253
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: black men and women who are listening to us. I'd

254
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: be curious if you agree with that. If the dynamics

255
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: have changed, I don't think there was a lot of, hey,

256
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: you've got to support Joe Biden pressure from the black community.

257
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: I think it will be ratcheted up in a big

258
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: way with Kamala Harris Friday. By the way, no guest

259
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: schedule to my knowledge. Eight hundred two eight two two

260
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: eight eight two. As always, we take as many calls

261
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: try to as we can. On Friday, you guys can

262
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: line them up and let us know what you are

263
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: thinking as we head into the weekend.

264
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely eight hundred two two two eight a two. On

265
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: those lines. You know you didn't hear President Biden used

266
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: the term abortion a lot, but you certainly hear Kamala

267
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: Harris talking a lot about choice and women's bodies, and

268
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: that's going to keep coming up in these speeches. She

269
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: may be the highest ranking member of the Democrat Party

270
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: to actually openly advocate for abortion with real gusto. In

271
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: the meantime, the work of saving the lives of unborn

272
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: children being done at each preborn clinic nationwide has never

273
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: been more challenging in their eighteen years of existence. They've

274
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: helped save two hundred and eighty thousand babies to date.

275
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: Most often, that happens just after a pregnant mother meets

276
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: her child through an ultrasound. When a mother hears that heartbeat,

277
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: sees those little fingers and toes, and witnesses the movement

278
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: she feels throughout the day, a decision for life over

279
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: abortion takes place. If you have the means, would you

280
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: consider a leadership gift. It's a five thousand dollars tax

281
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: deductible gift that will sponsor Preborn's entire network of clinics

282
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: for twenty four hours that may save as many as

283
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: two hundred babies in just one day. To donate, dial

284
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,280

291
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: we just played that audio of Steph Curry, who's representing

292
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: the United States men's Olympic team, and we also played

293
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: we didn't play it, but Steve Kerr said the same thing.

294
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: They both both endorsed Kamala Harris as soon as they

295
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: got to the Olympics to represent the United States. Buck,

296
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: I'm curious what your answer for this would be. I'll

297
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: tell you mine my position, even though I'm obviously voting

298
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: for Trump, and I bet most of you out there are.

299
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: But if you're voting for RFK Junior or Carnel West

300
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: or Jill Stein or Kamala Harris, whoever you are voting for,

301
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: if you're representing the United States Olympic team, I don't

302
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: think at a press conference, to represent the United States

303
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: Olympic team, where in theory you represent the entire scope

304
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 2: of the country, you should make a political endorsement at

305
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: the Olympics. And I said yesterday on my show, this

306
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: is super easy to me, because inevitably you've learned Buck,

307
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: the sports media is super left wing. I'm not surprised

308
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: they got asked about this, but to me, it's a

309
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: really easy situation to just say, hey, right now, I

310
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: represent the entirety of the United States of America. I

311
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: understand there's a lot of different political opinions out there.

312
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: Our goal right now is to win a gold medal

313
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: for all Americans. If you want to know my political opinions,

314
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: we got a bunch of months still to come. I'll

315
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: tell you when I get back to the United States,

316
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: when I'm not representing the entire country. I just it's

317
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: not like I plan that. But they know this question

318
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: is coming, and I just told you a really good,

319
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: I think answer.

320
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: Would you support that?

321
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: Do you think that anybody out there should be in

322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: a press conference saying, hey, everybody needs to go vote

323
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump at an Olympics press conference when you're

324
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: representing the entire nation. I would agree with that voting,

325
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: but I just don't think it's the right place and

326
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: the right time to be endorsing at the Olympics when

327
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: you're representing the entire country.

328
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to say, I think that there should

329
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: be something that feels special about the decorum and the

330
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: expectations that we all have for anybody who's at the

331
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: Olympics on behalf of their country. And I think that

332
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: part is in statements just have no place there. Yeah,

333
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: because you are supposed to be representing the whole of

334
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: the country. It feels like there are so few aspects

335
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: of America today that are not politicized. I know, you

336
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: always talk about how sports media is so political. Sports

337
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: itself shouldn't be political at all. In fact, if one

338
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: area of life where you would think we should be

339
00:18:53,920 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: able to be largely free of partisan biases be in athletics.

340
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's troubling. I mean, I also

341
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: just you know, I do I miss the days man,

342
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: because I'm sure a lot of the athletes when I

343
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: used to watch I used to watch like a normal

344
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: Americans amount of professional sports growing up in the nineties particularly,

345
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of those athletes had beliefs and

346
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: things that I really won't don't like now and probably

347
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't have liked then. But I supported them in their endeavor,

348
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like, I supported them as

349
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 1: an athlete, and that's it. You know. I thought Charles

350
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: Oakley was amazing when he played on the Knicks. I

351
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: thought he was a badass. Do we vote the same way,

352
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe, maybe not, But the point is

353
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: I had no idea knowing it. Now it's kind of

354
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: ruined a lot of it. Well, I think it's so instructive.

355
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: And again, my last book was called Republicans by Sneakers Too,

356
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 2: which is a quote from Michael Jordan, and I mentioned

357
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety two Dream Team. I bet every single

358
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 2: person almost listening to us right now buck watched at

359
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: least one of those Olympic Dream Team games. If you

360
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: were alive in nineteen ninety two and paying any attention

361
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: to the Olympics at all, I would argue, that's one

362
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: of the most popular teams we've ever seen. And but

363
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: the analogy I would make here is I was at

364
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: the US women's soccer match in twenty fifteen in Vancouver

365
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: when they beat Japan to win the World Cup. That's

366
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: the women's soccer team. Do you remember, because you're a

367
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: soccer guy, do you remember how beloved that twenty fifteen

368
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: US women's soccer team was. It's one of the most

369
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 2: popular American national teams that I can ever remember, right

370
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: up there with the Dream Team in nineteen ninety two.

371
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: Everybody loved that team. I don't remember them in twenty fifteen,

372
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: being political. Twenty nineteen they went to France, they won

373
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: the World Cup again.

374
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: But Megan R.

375
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 2: Reppino and company refused to visit the White House when

376
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: Trump invited them to visit the White House because several

377
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: of the team members.

378
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: Decided that they hated Trump.

379
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 2: By twenty twenty three, which was just last summer, a

380
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: lot of you out there listening to me right now

381
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: had gone from loving that team in twenty fifteen to

382
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: not caring whether they won in twenty twenty three, and

383
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: or maybe even taking some joy or enjoyment in them

384
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: not winning. I think that's where we are now with

385
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: the men's basketball team. I think many of you out

386
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: there are still just going to root for America, and

387
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: you're going to pretend that some of these guys don't

388
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: hate everything that you believe. But I think a lot

389
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: of you out there are either indifferent or you're out

390
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: there and you're saying, yeah, I wouldn't mind if the

391
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: US lost in nineteen ninety two. I bet one or

392
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: two percent of the overall American population when the Dream

393
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: Team was on its best, when they were nighting the country,

394
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 2: I bet almost no one would have admitted that they

395
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: were rooting for another country or wouldn't have minded if

396
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: we lost. That's what disunity does. That's what deciding to

397
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: show up at the Olympics and endorse a presidential candidate

398
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: does And remember ninety two was an election year Ross Perot.

399
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: I have no idea whether John Stockton voted for Ross

400
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: Perot or George H. W. Bush or Bill Clinton. And

401
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: by the way, Michael Jordan or anybody. I didn't care.

402
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley, nobody cared. And they've so diluted their unity.

403
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: It just really disappoints me. And I bet there'll be

404
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: other athletes. And I don't think you should endorse Trump

405
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: and I'm voting for Trump. I think you should just

406
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: be saying, hey, we're trying to win as many gold

407
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: medals as we can. We represent everybody from America. And

408
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: I just think we've lost something really important when it's

409
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: becoming standard for people to do what curR and what

410
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: Curry did, I don't think that would have ever happened

411
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: when we were kids and in the nineties and in

412
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: the eighties and the two thousands.

413
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: E really and isn't courag just like one of these

414
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, over the top ob sequius, bend the knee,

415
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: social justice lefty types, Popovich, Kurt like, there's a few

416
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: of them that I don't know. I don't know who

417
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: these guys are because they are basketball coaches that I

418
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: have to see the headlines about what they think about politics.

419
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: You know, I care as much about what Steve Kerr

420
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: thinks about politics as I do about what he thinks

421
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: about women's volleyball. He doesn't know anything other than what

422
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: a normal person knows, so he can just shut up. Yes,

423
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: that's how I feel.

424
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: I mean, look, and again, everybody has the right to

425
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 2: endorse whoever they want.

426
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, well as I said, as a normal person.

427
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: But I just think, you know, I don't care.

428
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 2: During the Olympics, when you land in Paris right before

429
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 2: you start to represent the entire nation. It's just such

430
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: a tone death thing to do. And I also think

431
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: this ties in with what I said earlier. It's also

432
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: designed to try to put pressure on athletes to either

433
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 2: shut up, because the truth of the matter is if

434
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: you endorse Trump, people lose their mind and or pressure

435
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: you to endorse Kamala Harris. So I thought maybe athletes

436
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: were going to sit out this election. I think when

437
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: it was Joe Biden they were more inclined to because

438
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: it's hard to endorse Joe Biden. I think Kamala Harris

439
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: is going to make this more political on the part

440
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: of athletics, and I think we just saw it happening

441
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: with the Olympics. By the way, eight hundred two two

442
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: eight a two. You can weigh in on a variety

443
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: of topics. We got some funny VIP emails I'll hit

444
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 2: with us when we come back, But weighing in, as

445
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: you might imagine, on a wide variety of topics this week,

446
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: as is generally the case, we'll hit some of those.

447
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 2: Have some fun take some of your calls.

448
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: This week's anti Israel protests in Washington, d C. Gave

449
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: us a real glimpse of the hostility that Israel and

450
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: the Jewish people face in defending themselves against Hamas. Now

451
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: imagine what it's like for Israeli residents day in and

452
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: day out. Just a week ago, Israel was attacked again

453
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: with deadly drones in Tel Aviv. In retaliation, Israel launch

454
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: an airstrike on Houthy targets in Yemen, the first time

455
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 1: Israel has attacked the terrorist group directly for more than

456
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: forty years. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has

457
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: been on the ground in Israel. Within hours of the

458
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 1: war starting and every day since, the IFCJ has been

Speaker 1: help them. One solid way to do that through the

468
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts Friday, and

469
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: it's all about honing in on the contest. Now, Kamala v. Trump,

470
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: Trump VI Kamala plus Senate and House play has been

471
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: looking at the same data in the last a few minutes.

472
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Could be better, could be better for us? Right now

473
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: we shall discuss more of that. You've had Obama's come

474
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: out and formally endorse Kamala Harris. I don't think we

475
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: need to play that for you. You get the idea.

476
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: But so it is any theory that there was going

477
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: to be some big surprise at the DNC not going

478
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: to happen. So it is now Kamala Harris, and we

479
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: shall see how Trump is able to adapt and how

480
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: his campaign adapts to this new reality. But I had

481
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: mentioned this before, I do want to point this out.

482
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: You know, Clay and I we're happy warriors, and we

483
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: do this show and we have fun, and you know,

484
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: we enjoy talking all of you, and we honestly are

485
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: so blessed. We love our jobs, and we hope that

486
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: always comes across. And we'll talk about the policy deficiencies

487
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: and the wrongness and the failures of Kamala Harris. But

488
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: I also do want to take a moment to go

489
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: on the record to basically show you, or to tell

490
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: you and show you that she's a person of a

491
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: low moral character. This is not And by the way,

492
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: I am not talking about Clay can different than that.

493
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about her Willie Brown situation thirty years ago.

494
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about what she did just a couple of

495
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: years ago when Brett Kavanaugh, who is now in the

496
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: Supreme Court was up for a Supreme Court seat at

497
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: the time and going through confirmation. And I can tell

498
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: you that things got so ugly that there were voices

499
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: in the Trump White House saying that Trump should pull

500
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: the nominee, and that was very close to happening, and

501
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: you would have had Brett Cavanaugh not only removed from

502
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: being in contention for the Supreme Court, you would have

503
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: had the destruction of a man's reputation. And with that

504
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: today it's just like a destruction away from someone's soul.

505
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, to convince the public that somebody was some

506
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: kind of like sexual predator or sexual deviant at age

507
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: like sixteen or whatever. It was too I mean it

508
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: was they was talking about it when they were in

509
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: high school, and there was no credibility to the allegations whatsoever.

510
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: If Blasi Ford's allegations were credible, any allegation is credible

511
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: just by someone saying it couldn't remember the year or

512
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: the month or where or who picked her up or

513
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, the whole thing was just absolutely And the

514
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: way you knew it was garbage was that other women

515
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: came forward with increasingly insane stories also saying that Brett

516
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh did you know this has become now a meme

517
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: on the right. You know that they were going to

518
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: try to stop Amy Coney Barrett from being on the

519
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: Supreme Court by having ten women come forward and say

520
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: that Amy Coney Barrett, you know, sexually abused them like

521
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: they'll just do this to anybody. In fact, some many

522
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: of the of the allegations against Kavanaugh. And this is

523
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: not talking about very much. Molly Hemingway wrote Justice on Trial.

524
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: I think it's my second Molly Hemingway book shout out

525
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: this week anyway, Molly does great work. Justice on Trial.

526
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: Great book goes into this in detail. And they were

527
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: all clay. You know, there are all these other allegations

528
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: that also made their way to the Senate that were,

529
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, women claiming that Kavanaugh had raped them in

530
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: a state Cavanaugh had never in his life been to.

531
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's hard. I think if Kavanaugh

532
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: had never been to Rhode Island by age twenty five

533
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: or whatever, I don't think you could say that he

534
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: raped you in Rhode Island. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen.

535
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: And they didn't bring those forward. Kamala Harris knew about

536
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: those allegations. She was on the Senate Judiciary Committee. They

537
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: went with Blasi Ford because and think about this, everybody

538
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: they thought she was the least obviously insane and partisan.

539
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: Those two things can go together. This is a throwback

540
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: to Kamala at the start of that Senate Judiciary here

541
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: and we pulled the audio. I want you to hear

542
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: this play it. Good morning.

543
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: I welcome everyone to this confirmation hearing on the nomination

544
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: of mister Chairman Britt Kavanaugh, mister Chairman, to serve as

545
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: Associate Justice.

546
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 5: Mister Chairman, I'd like to be recognized for a question

547
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 5: before we proceed. Mister Chairman, I'd like to be recognized

548
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 5: to ask a question before we proceed. The committee received

549
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 5: just last night, less than fifteen hours ago, thousand pages

550
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 5: of documents that we have not had an opportunity to

551
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 5: review or read or analyze.

552
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: You're out of order.

553
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: I'll proceed.

554
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 5: We cannot possibly move forward, mister Chairman, a very warm

555
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 5: well given opportunity to have a meeting.

556
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: She's basically obstructing government administration there. I mean, I know

557
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: she's allowed to do it, but this is just an obstruction.

558
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: It's the opening of the hearing. When we could pull out,

559
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: I'll find for you guys, like a question or two

560
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: that she posed to Kavanaugh. But she was really engineering

561
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: or part of the engineering of this whole thing. I mean, Clay,

562
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: what Democrats, It was a COVID was a sea change movement,

563
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: and how a lot of us, I think, see not

564
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: only the Democrat Party in America, but the kind of

565
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: uniparty globally. But I have never thought of Democrats the

566
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: same way after what I saw them do in that

567
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh hearing. It To do that to a man who

568
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: was so manifestly innocent and also such a manifestly decent guy,

569
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: a good guy, yes, in front of his wife and

570
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: children in the whole country is a moral disgrace beyond words.

571
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: And Kamala Harris was at the forefront. She was the

572
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: leading the band on the whole thing.

573
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and some people are not sophisticated enough having been

574
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: involved in criminal investigations to understand what was going on

575
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: there to what extent that was a railroading. Whatever you

576
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: think of Kamala Harris, she was a prosecutor and she

577
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: was the Attorney General of California. Have known that based

578
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: on the evidence there, you couldn't have brought charges in

579
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighties against Brett Kavanaugh, much less in twenty

580
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: eighteen when he was standing for the Supreme Court. And

581
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: it was just such a grotesque I think the worst

582
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: application of and I'm using the quotation phrase here justice

583
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: that we probably have seen in the twenty first century,

584
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: even the law fair against Trump, which I think is

585
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: an awful example of what the Department of Justice has

586
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: done to make everything political in this country to try

587
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: to get him. I think the Kavanaugh treatment was worse

588
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: because there's not even a colorable claim against Brett kavanav

589
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: for having done anything wrong. And the people that they

590
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: brought forward to make the allegations, Christine Blaze Ford was

591
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: the most significant of them. She didn't know where she was,

592
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: she didn't know what year it was, and even Buck,

593
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: if you accepted and this is so key. One of

594
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: the things you have to do when you're a lawyer,

595
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: and I've done criminal law, I've been involved in a

596
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: variety of cases over the years in my past life.

597
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: One of the things you have to do is sometimes

598
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: presume that everything that's being alleged is one hundred percent true,

599
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 2: even if you're on the opposite side. Let's presume that

600
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: everything this person says is true. What then it wasn't

601
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: even a crime if everything she said was true. Buck,

602
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: teenagers go to a house party, get drunk. One of

603
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: them tries to make out with another one, and the

604
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: girl doesn't want to make out and leaves after the

605
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: guy tries to kiss her. There isn't even a crime

606
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: there even and look, it didn't happen the guys you

607
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: grew up with, you know, I said that back then.

608
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: I said, Look, if the standard is you try to

609
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: kiss a girl who doesn't want to kiss you, necessarily

610
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: in high school, there are an awful lot of dudes

611
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 2: out there that should be in handcuffs right now. Because

612
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: teenagers are awkward, trying to understand social cues are difficult,

613
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: especially if you throw in, unfortunately, alcohol consumption, and then

614
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: you're trying to figure out, does this girl like me?

615
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: Does this boy like me?

616
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: If every single person who is a teenager and has

617
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 2: attempted to kiss someone who didn't like them was in prison,

618
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 2: we would have to build a lot of brand new prisons, right.

619
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: I mean, there are a lot of awkward teenage interactions.

620
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: It didn't happen based on the evidence.

621
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: But even if you.

622
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: Presume everything that she said is true, a guy tries

623
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: to kiss a girl in the nineteen eighties when he's

624
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: like sixteen years old at a house party, and forty

625
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 2: years later he's not eligible to be a Supreme Court justice.

626
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: I think America rejected this, but Kamala Harris led the

627
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: charge there. I think her record does matter and we

628
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 2: have to bring it back up. What she did was

629
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 2: it was it's beyond political disagreement. What she did was disgusting,

630
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: beyond words. I mean, it's it's it's a low, grotesque

631
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: thing to do as a human being to try to

632
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 2: destroy someone's reputation and make them and not destroyed the

633
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 2: reputation like oh, you're not good at your job or something,

634
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: you're you're a sexual predator or a sexual devian or

635
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 2: whatever it is that they wanted to say, you know,

636
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: sex criminal and it's a lie.

637
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what what could be more? You know, just

638
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: more horrific to do to a person who's manifestly in it,

639
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: and as Kavanaugh obviously was. And Clay didn't bring this up.

640
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: The second woman came forward and and she said that Kavanaugh,

641
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you got it. It's hard to believe when

642
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: you go back and read it to this stuff again

643
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: that anybody went along. I had people from I had

644
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: anchors from CNN I will not name them texting me saying,

645
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: you are destroying your media career by going against Blasi Ford.

646
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: Everyone knows she's telling the truth. And I responded with

647
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: words that I cannot say on the radio show, but

648
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: it involved me telling them something off. They They had

649
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: a second woman who came forward and said that she

650
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: that anyway that he touched her with like his genitalia

651
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: when when he was in college or something, which nobody

652
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: believed he knew Brett Kavanaugh in college. But it doesn't

653
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: even matter because what really came out was it took

654
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: her a week of talking to therapists or something like

655
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: that or no, I'm sorry, memory experts to help her

656
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: remember that this thing happened to her that came up

657
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: to so she was in college and she remembers it

658
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: so and she was sober, and she remembers it so

659
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: well that it took her a week of talking into

660
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: a memory. And everyone's like, well, that's And then the

661
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: third woman came forward and said that Kavanaugh was part

662
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: of I think her name was check this guy's I

663
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: think her name was Julie Swetnik. Remember was this the

664
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: gang rape crew? Yes, that Kavanaugh was part of a

665
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: mysterious high school gang rape crew who would drug teenage girls.

666
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: They were teenagers too drug teenage girls and rape them

667
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: at parties all the time. And she though was older,

668
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: this came out than Kavanaugh. So she was a college

669
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: student who was coming back and going to high school

670
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: parties and not saying anything about the gang rape crew,

671
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: no criminal report, no one ever heard about this, nothing,

672
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: and people put her on TV like she wasn't completely insane,

673
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris tried to use these stories to ruin

674
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: a man. She is horrible. She's not a good person.

675
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: That's what I just wanted to get So if anythink

676
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: oh or being too harsh on or whatever, I'm sorry.

677
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: She has a used her power for evil purposes. She's

678
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: not a good person. And also a lot of.

679
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 2: People still believe all this. That's the other one of

680
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: the things I thought was most tragic about this. I

681
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: hope that they've since stopped it. He coached Kavanaugh did

682
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: his little girls' basketball teams, and they tried to say

683
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 2: based on these stories, he shouldn't be able to coach

684
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: little league basketball. I hope that that all got tamped down,

685
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 2: and I hope that he is now able to coach

686
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: his girls. I think he has two daughters. I hope

687
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 2: he's able to coach them again. I've coached my boys

688
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: a lot of different sports over the years. They tried

689
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: to destroy his life. Remember, he was already a DC

690
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 2: Circuit Court judge, he had already been through all the

691
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 2: other confirmations. They tried to destroy his life based on

692
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 2: manufactured lies, and it almost worked. And they're still I

693
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: bet buck forty five per cent of the American public

694
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: believes all of those things are true. That he's a

695
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: gang rapist, that he is a rapist who got sent

696
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: and got seated on the Supreme Court. The facts don't

697
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: matter because they don't get the counter argument. They just

698
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: buy into whatever they're told. I do think on a

699
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: positive that was kind of the end of me Too,

700
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: because a lot of people said, wait a minute, you

701
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: can't just presume that a woman's telling the truth anymore

702
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: than you can presume a man's telling the truth. And

703
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: it feels like to me that was the beginning of

704
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 2: the end of sort of the whole me too movement.

705
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: And certainly it seems to me like we've moved back

706
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 2: a little bit in the direction of, hey, let's actually

707
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 2: require some facts.

708
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: Now.

709
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: They went after Trump and continue to go after Trump

710
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: on this stuff. But I do think the American public

711
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: rejected it, but unfortunately way too many believed it. Look

712
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: as I'm speaking to you right now, the Olympics are underway,

713
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: the opening ceremonies from Paris. If you're a casual sports fan,

714
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 2: probably a good chance you're going to watch swimming, maybe

715
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 2: a decent chance you're going to watch track and field.

716
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: Maybe you will be out there watching a wide variety

717
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: of the competitions to see who's going to be winning

718
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 2: gold medals over the next.

719

Speaker 1: Well, welcome back in team to Clay, and I've got

746
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 1: a few things we want to hit here before we Wow.

747
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's already going to be a deep

748
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: one here very soon one is I just I just

749
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: had to note this Politico with a tweet here. Politico is,

750
00:41:52,960 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: of course, the preferred insider DC politics web blog, and

751
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: they write, Kamala Harris faces greater security risks because she's

752
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: a woman and a person of color, and the Secret

753
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: Service is almost certainly taking that into account. That's Politico.

754
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: I just okay, I mean, whether that's true or whatever.

755
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: Put that Clay Trump was shot two weeks ago. Yeah,

756
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: and Politico was writing articles about how Kamala is in

757
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: so much danger because she's a woman and a person

758
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: of color. I don't think they've ever written get I

759
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: promise you if you go back and look, there has

760
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: never been some random news story in political but like,

761
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: oh like, because of all the rhetoric about Trump is hitler,

762
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: he faces actually much more serious security risks. However much

763
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: we all despise the Democrat media, it is not enough.

764
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: It is not enough.

765
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: Also, to be clear, don't harm anyone any point in

766
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 2: your life. Right but right, of course, if you look

767
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 2: at the data on who is actually victimizing black women,

768
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: it's overwhelmingly black men. The implication of Politico's story there

769
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: is that Kamala Harris, as a black woman, is more

770
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 2: likely to be killed by a white man, right, Like,

771
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 2: that's the parenthetical. Then they're not They're not putting in

772
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: there than anyone else. They mean a a white nationalist

773
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 2: racist is whether that's the implication, that's what that's the

774
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 2: implication of their story. And they're using rates of violence

775
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: against black women to justify why she's at a higher

776
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 2: risk than a white man would be. I think they're

777
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 2: just saying, because she's black, some racists will try to

778
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: do something, you know, horrific. I mean, I don't think, well,

779
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 2: there is there is data that black women are victims

780
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 2: of crimes at a much higher rate than white women.

781
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm saying I don't think that that's

782
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: even necessarily there. I think they're thinking is just she's

783
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: a minority woman, therefore some racist is going to try

784
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: to harm her, which of course is see. I said

785
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: this as soon as Trump got shot too. I'm like

786
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: I would be if if someone, god forbid, had taken

787
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: a shot and and it had, you know, graized Joe

788
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: Biden's here, I would be utterly horrified.

789
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and them Secret Service director should have been fired immediately.

790
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: For now would have called for the Secret Service sector

791
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: to be fired. And we would have been trashing the

792
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 2: response of Secret Service and that of a you know,

793
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 2: the whole thing, no question about it. But you know

794
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 2: this is this is the price of principles, is you

795
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: have to actually believe in a principle and apply it

796
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 2: as one. You know, with Democrats, everything is just an

797
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 2: opportunity for power.

798
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: Oh you know, it's everyone should be so. And also,

799
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this, they're going to create this

800
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: narrative of there's so much racism against Comma, there's so

801
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: much racism against Kamala, and sexism and sexism against Kamala,

802
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: and then if she wins, they're not going to be like,

803
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we overestimated the racism and sexism against Kamla,

804
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: Like maybe the country that just elected the first black

805
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: woman president. Remember with Barack Obama was if you didn't

806
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: like him, you were racist in the beginning, and then

807
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: he won, and then he won for eight years. Race relations,

808
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: by the numbers in this country, as we all know,

809
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: you can look at it got worse, especially according to

810
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: the media, which started using terms like racism, white nationalists,

811
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: and other terms of racial strife by a factor of

812
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: like one hundred times more. I mean, it was crazy

813
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: under Obama's president because it's a way of stifling descent. Wait,

814
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 1: you don't like Obama sounds kind of racist. You disagree

815
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: with Obamacare sounds kind of racist.

816
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 2: No, Well that's what they're gonna do with Kamala too.

817
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you already are seeing it in their trying

818
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 2: to say, hey, even referring to Kamala by her first

819
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 2: name is a form of a racism and sexism when

820
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: the reality is people pick the name that is more

821
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 2: uncommon to use to signify someone. For instance, we were

822
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 2: just talking about the original Dream Team. Most people don't

823
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: refer to Michael Jordan as Michael because Michael is a

824
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 2: very common name. Jordan much less common Harris. Kamala's last

825
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: name is very common, Kamala, her first name is not

826
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 2: right like almost all this Tiger Woods, Woods is a

827
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 2: very common name. Tiger is not branding Bernie Bernie Sanders.

828
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 2: Bernie is a less common name than Sanders. People use

829
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: the signifier that is most likely to be recognized of

830
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 2: a first or last name. It's not about racism and sexism,

831
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 2: but that's the route that they're already going to try

832
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: and attack here, and I just think it's going to

833
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: get much worse over the next one hundred days. We

834
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 2: talked about earlier in the show, the clear attempt to

835
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 2: scrub Kamala's history as vice president. They are doing everything

836
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 2: they can to try to protect her from attacks. And we'

837
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: haven't even mentioned this, but there's stories out there. This

838
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 2: is all a direct response to the talking points that

839
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: Kamala's campaigns sent out. They said, she was never called

840
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: the borders are Did you see the sheet of paper

841
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 2: with all.

842
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: The facts clay. It's not even hidden, it's so transparent.

843
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: Kamala's whole campaign is an exercise in gaslighting and moral blackmail.

844
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the whole thing. It's either what you

845
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: know about her own policy isn't true, as in what

846
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: you're talking about the borders are everything else, or if

847
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: you don't like your you're a racist and your sexist.

848
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: That's it is. It is gaslighting plus moral blackmail equals

849
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: Kamala victory. That's the whole thing. Now.

850
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 2: I also think they're going to try to ratchet up

851
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 2: the societal pressure. In the wake of Trump being shot.

852
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: There were a lot of people out there that might

853
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: not have supported Trump before. Elon Musk is an example

854
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 2: that went public and said yeah, Elon said it. I

855
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: think Bill Ackman, who is also a prominent venture capital guy,

856
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: went forward in the immediate aftermath of that shooting and

857
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 2: they said, hey, Trump's my guy. There's going to be

858
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 2: an attempt now that Common is on the ticket, that

859
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 2: there is a social capital cost contingent in being a

860
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: Trump supporter, and the more prominent or public of a

861
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 2: role you have in life, the more they will try

862
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,280
Speaker 2: to extract that price from you if you are willing

863
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 2: to come out publicly and say, hey, I'm all in

864
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: for Trump.

865
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: Uh, make no mistake.

866
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 2: That was harder to do with Biden because I think

867
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: there was a general acknowledgment of his incompetence, and so

868
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: Trump v. Biden, they weren't able to take that same

869
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 2: pound of flesh over your endorsement. They're going to try

870
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: to do it with Kamlin. This is what I said

871
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 2: in the first hour. I think the Steph Curry statement

872
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 2: is also indicative of what they're going to try to

873
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 2: do to black men. They're going to say, you're turning

874
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 2: your back on your race if you are not voting

875
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: for Commloor. Remember Joe Biden tried to do this.

876
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: If you ain't you.

877
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 2: Ain't black, if you're if you're not, if you're voting

878
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: for Trump or whatever, and that was put you in chains.

879
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: He was too explicit about it. I mean, that was

880
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: cringey across the board. Everyone realized that was ooh, that

881
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: was not a good moment for Biden. I mean, look,

882
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: Charlot Mane and the Breakfast Club was even like, what

883
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: are you saying? Like that's not that's not good. But

884
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: he's a white guy.

885
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 2: I bet Kamala is gonna say it explicitly and she's

886
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 2: not gonna get criticized for it.

887
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: Well, but see, here's here's what I want to know, Clay.

888
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: You had said, I remember all all previous bets about

889
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: the I want to I'm gonna mark this down so

890
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: there's no there's no debate. There's July twenty sixth Okay,

891
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: all previous bets about the election outcome obviously are off

892
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: because it's a different election now. So I'll just to

893
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: give a so you can you can Rehn say, oh,

894
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: this is a good question, yeah, because for you know,

895
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: for example, I said twenty five percent of black men

896
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: would vote for Trump against Biden. Do you think that

897
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of black men, now that we know

898
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: what the new election is, will you stay with that

899
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of black men will vote for Trump

900
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: over Kamala Harris, that's a tough I'm gonna have to

901
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: think about it over the weekend. That's what you call

902
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: long form tease. I'm actually concerned that that is going

903
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: to have some effect the pressure campaign on blackmail voters.

904
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: Black women are already voting ninety five to five for Democrats.

905
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: No matter what.

906
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 2: There isn't a lot of movement that can happen there.

907
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 2: I think the pressure on black men is going to

908
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 2: be intense to support Kamala Harris as a black woman,

909
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 2: even to the extent where some in this exit polling

910
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 2: may not tell the true to exit polers, because that's

911
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 2: what we rely on to try to figure out what

912
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 2: the numbers actually reflect. That one I'm curious about. I

913
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: still think the overall turnout will be lower because I

914
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 2: don't think you're going to be able to create the

915
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 2: same sort of twenty twenty everything is the existential threat

916
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 2: in the same way in twenty twenty four. I do

917
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 2: think Kamala is going to bump up the turnout, and

918
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 2: you've seen Kamala is now favored to win the popular

919
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 2: vote in the gambling markets, Trump was favored to win

920
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 2: the popular vote against Biden. Some of that may be

921
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 2: the honeymoon of Kamala, but I think also the expectation

922
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: is that California is going to turn out given that

923
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 2: it basically has one in every nine people in America,

924
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 2: and Trump is going to lose California by more with

925
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 2: Kamala on the ticket as a native California than he

926
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 2: would have.

927
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: Like you're still on now, let me, I'm gonna look

928
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: at the turnout issue again. But uh, I mean, I'll

929
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: still give.

930
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 2: You your bet is bet your bet is better on

931
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 2: turnout with Kamala by far than it was with Biden.

932
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot more energy out there. I think with Kamala.

933
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: Let me, let me, let me, I'll do the assessing

934
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: of my side of the bet. Sir. Okay, I've got

935
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: a better I think you've got a better take on

936
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: that one.

937
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 3: Now.

938
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: I told Kamala. I mean, I'm told Kamala Harris you know,

939
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: is going to be doing these great numbers and and uh,

940
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, we'll have to see how we get into

941
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: this a little bit here, right, I mean, right now,

942
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 1: I think it could be a sugar high. But yeah,

943
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to necessarily. I think sugar hi is

944
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: what Sean Hannity said about the polls. By the way,

945
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: credit to him, and I think that's accurate. But percent

946
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: of black man and voting for Trump against a difficult

947
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: WI or I will let you, I will let you

948
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: out of this if you want. Okay, you can get

949
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: out of that bet, or you can re up on Monday.

950
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: All right, you get to make a determination. The guys

951
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: flag that one that I have to give an official

952
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: take on that one. Let me also hit you with

953
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: this buck.

954
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 2: The data reflects that the maybe the most impactful thing

955
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 2: from Kamala Harris so far is the number of double haters,

956
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 2: that is, people who don't like the Democrat and the

957
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: Republican nominee has dropped precipitously. I think it's gone from

958
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 2: twenty percent of the overall electorate. According to the New

959
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 2: York Times with their poll that came out yesterday with

960
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: Trump up one, it now is down to eight percent.

961
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 2: That's significant because I think the oxygen supporting RFK Junior

962
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: is diminishing in a hurry, and you're actually seeing that

963
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 2: RFK Junior was a halfway point for Democrats who didn't

964
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 2: want to vote Trump, but we're not happy with Biden.

965
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 2: Those people are coming back home now and there is

966
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 2: no oxygen for the RFK Junior campaign now, and so

967
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 2: I wonder on some level whether he's going to end

968
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 2: up dropping out and now, unfortunately Buck, I think RFK

969
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 2: Junior is a drag on Trump. I think because Kamala

970
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 2: has brought back home. I thought so all along. I

971
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 2: told everybody I said it.

972
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: You know, they're always going to take more votes from

973
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: the Democrat m I think RFK is more of a

974
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: problem for Trump this time.

975
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 2: I agree, and I think that's become even more the

976
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: case now that Kamala is in instead of Biden. We

977
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 2: come back major travel snaffoos all week long. Snaffho is

978
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 2: probably not a strong enough word, particularly if you were

979
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 2: on Delta Airlines, my chosen airline. Though, Buck has made

980
00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 2: an unbelievable decision, one that will unfortunately echo throughout.

981
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 1: The annals of mystery, and I am not pleased. We'll

982
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: talk about it in a second.

983
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 2: In the meantime, one hundred and grand fifteen years ago

984
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine, now worth roughly seventy k

985
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 2: in buying power today gone backwards thirty percent due to

986
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 2: inflation and out of control spending by our federal government.

987
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 2: Just to contrast that one hundred thousand dollars if it

988
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: had been invested in gold, be worth twice that and

989
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 2: then some today. How you protect the value of the

990
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 2: dollars in your savings account from inflation's up to you,

991
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 2: but investing some portion of your savings in gold is

992
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 2: a smart way to protect the long term value of

993
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 2: your savings account. Gold's become easy to access, easy to own,

994
