1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody. Thursday edition of The Clay Travis and 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show kicks off right now, d NC Day 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: three in the books. Tonight, the big one, the big 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: speech Kamala Harris. Some people are saying might be the 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: most unimpressive, disappointing speech ever. We'll see some people are saying, 6 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: we will be talking about that after it happens. But 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: last night, Tim Wall's coach. I was a coach. You 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: were a coach too, right, you've coached Gy, We've both 9 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: been we've been coaches. I will say the most fun job, 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: the most fun job I think I've ever had in 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: terms of just like sheer joy, a lot of fun. 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: But they're they're pulling out all the stops to make 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: people think that Wallace is just so normal. We'll break 14 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: down some of the moments from the speech last night 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: that were either disingenuous, condescending, absurd or full on communists. 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: So we'll get to that in a moment. Also, look 17 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: a lot of reporting that RFK Junior Tomorrow yes to Tomorrow, 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: making sure I know what day of the week it 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: is that Tomorrow will in fact decide to throw his weight, 20 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: not just to drop out of the race, but to 21 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: throw his weight behind Donald Trump, which, when you see 22 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: where the polls are right now, if that is effective, 23 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: if the RFK Junior's followers would be voters are going Trump, 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: that could be a big deal. And I also love 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: the timing of it that it's just meant to take. 26 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: Look what they did with the Joe Biden switch right 27 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: after the RNC. So there's a little bit of a 28 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: fight fire with fire attitude here, Clay right where after 29 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: all we've seen from their side and the fact that 30 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: they switch the presidential candidate right after the RNC, and 31 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: and they've managed to get everyone to not hear from 32 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: the media, certainly anything about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. 33 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: But now we have a change in the narrative that 34 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: I think might throw them off balance a bit. We'll see, 35 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: we'll report on that as it comes. Do you want 36 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: to dive into some of the wall stuff from last night, 37 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: because he's supposed to be They can't argue that Kamala 38 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: is going to appeal to Midwestern soccer dads. Really, that's 39 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: what this is all about. Kamala is a far left progressive. No, 40 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about this. Kamala Harris is a California 41 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: machine Democrat through and through, and that means that they 42 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: are trying to do this headfake with Walls where he's 43 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: just like. 44 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: The dad that you can trust, and he's you know, coach, 45 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: and he's coming out there and doing all this stuff. 46 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: Can we just start with this one, though, because I 47 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: can tell that him and JD vance Remember when nikkiy 48 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: Haley and Vivek we're having a little bad and that 49 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: was in a primary, but you could tell that it 50 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: wasn't just for show, like they graded on each other's 51 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: nerves a little bit. 52 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. I think Walls and JD, 53 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: particularly because JD's been going after him for the stolen 54 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: valor stuff or the exaggerations of his record, I think 55 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: there's a I think those guys don't like each other already. 56 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: I think that's already that's plan out. But this shot 57 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: that he took at Walls, this has cut three guys. 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: This shot that he took at Walls. I'm sorry that 59 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: Walls took a JD just bizarre to be play it now. 60 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: I grew up in Butte, Nebraska, a town of four 61 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: hundred people. I had twenty four kids in my high 62 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: school class, and none of them went to Yale. 63 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a shot at JD. Vance. I just 64 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: sit here and think one of the big things in 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: Barack Obama's resume that everybody said was so amazing was 66 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: he went to Harvard Law. When was the editor of 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Harvard Law Review. Elizabeth Warren wouldn't have a political career 68 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: if she didn't lie about being a Native American so 69 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: she could go teach at Harvard Law. They usually look 70 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: at people going to elite institutions, especially from humble backgrounds, 71 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: as good. But for JD. Evans, it's now a sellout move. 72 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: Clay is that we're supposed to think. 73 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 4: I think it's actually truly emblematic of how the Democrat 74 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 4: Party today is not the Democrat Party that most of 75 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 4: us grew up with. Bill Clinton spoke on the stage. 76 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 4: Whatever you think of Bill Clinton, they spoke last night, 77 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 4: seventy eight years old. Now, I would say successful two 78 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: term president in that most of you out there were 79 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 4: fairly happy in the eighties and the nineties. We had 80 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan for eight years and then we had Bill 81 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 4: Clinton for eight years, and they really just kind of 82 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 4: argued about who loved America the most. That was actually 83 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: the way campaigns were run. But think about Bill Clinton's appeal, 84 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 4: it was I'm a small town kid from Arkansas, single 85 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 4: parent raised who went to Georgetown Yale Law School and 86 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: became a Rhodes scholar and then went back home and 87 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 4: got elected to statewide office in Arkansas. And that was 88 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: the springboard that he used to propel himself to the 89 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: presidency in nineteen ninety two. 90 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 5: Jd. 91 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 4: Vance poorer even than Bill Clinton, worse background than Bill Clinton, 92 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 4: raised to a large extent by his grandmother, joins the Marines, 93 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 4: goes to Ohio State in Ohio, gets into yel Law School. 94 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 4: And I'll come back to that in a minute, because I 95 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: know a little bit about that because I applied to 96 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 4: law school and went there at Vanderbilt, I know a 97 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 4: lot about that process. Graduates from ye Law school, decides 98 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: that he wants to make a lot of money, goes 99 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: to one of the coasts, comes back home because he 100 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 4: wants to create venture capital opportunities in Ohio, gets elected 101 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 4: to statewide office in Ohio, now is running to be 102 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 4: Vice president of the United States. 103 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: JD. 104 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: Vance leave aside a lot of the personal other sundry 105 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 4: issues and everything else. His trajectory is Clintonian. It is 106 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 4: something that should be celebrated. I'm a middle class JD. 107 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: Would not want to be described as having a Clintonian trajectory. 108 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: But you are accurate in the in the bio lineup right. 109 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, as so far as we know, he hasn't been 110 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 4: accused of rampant sexual assault, he hasn't slept with any 111 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: interns that we know. 112 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: All these things right, and his wife seems to be 113 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: a stronger resume similarities between the two. JD also didn't 114 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: run and avoid the draft, by the way, correct, he 115 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: actually went into the military. But my point on the 116 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: sales process is this is middle America dream. I went 117 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: to public school K through twelve. The idea that you 118 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: would go to college and be able to go to 119 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: an elite law school was something that everybody's parents, grandparents, 120 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: the kids themselves would aspire to. And it is the 121 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: foundation of the American meritocracy to rise beyond whatever your 122 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: birth status. That is the foundation of the American dream 123 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: for everybody out there, most people. I don't want this 124 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: for my kids. I don't want my kids to only 125 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: do the same things that I did. I would like 126 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: for them to be more successful. If you have grandkids 127 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: right now, you want them to be more successful than 128 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: you kids. This is an American dream. 129 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 4: It's very strange that Walls this is, but this is 130 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 4: I think where the Democrat Party has gone. They can't 131 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 4: celebrate achievement because they no longer really believe in the meritocracy. 132 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: And when you rise from humble beginnings and achieve success, 133 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: that is the meritocracy. 134 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: Securely, by the way, if you're a white guy, I 135 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: was going to say, from the Midwest, I mean, you know, 136 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: this was always something that informed my view of the 137 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: world in politics, particularly when I was in college. I 138 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: went to an institution here in New York City, Regis 139 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: High School, where it's the only, I believe still the 140 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: only tuition free private school in the country. Right there's 141 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: Julliard in some of these places there, you know, you 142 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: can go for free, but that's different free high school. 143 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: And there were first generation in my class, particularly Filipino 144 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: and Korean kids for example, with parents who spoke almost 145 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: no English. I mean, I met them, they were these 146 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: were my friends. These are my friends. You know, parents 147 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: spoke almost no English and and they just worked incredibly hard. 148 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: And went to you know, name brand colleges. And then 149 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: I would just hear all this stuff when I was 150 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: in college about how impossible it is for anybody to rise. 151 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, I was in a high school with kids 152 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: who work. Now they technically it's a school for the gifted, 153 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: but I was in high school with kids who just 154 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: worked really hard, came from nothing and in financially speaking, 155 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: and were able to do really well. This is a 156 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: narrative that the left actually wants to reject, particularly now 157 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: in the context of if you're a white guy or 158 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: an Asian guy and you rise up on your own 159 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: and do well, that's not the story they want to tell. 160 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: The story they want to tell is oppress minorities who 161 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: get special treatment from within the system. 162 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 6: Right. 163 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about justice Clarence Thomas, who's 164 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: brilliant and went to Yale Law and no, no, no, 165 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: they want to talk about people who say, I only 166 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: was able to do it because of the collective, because 167 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: of the system, because of affirmative action, whatever it may be, 168 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: and then you're okay, right, and then that's the story 169 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: they want to tell. To undermine Jade Vance's story. To me, 170 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: for Tim Walls is first of all, it's just it's 171 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: such bad faith, this idea that the guy who wrote 172 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: an autobiography about growing up in let's just be honest, 173 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: like a poor white dysfunctional family and overcoming that. That's 174 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: inspiring not only to other young white kids who are 175 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: in difficult situations, but to other black kids and Latino kids. 176 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: It's like, I can overcome this. And the fact that 177 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: the Obama narrative, for example, was so celebrated that he 178 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: came from pretty humble origins and obviously became a two 179 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: term president. What's the difference between these two guys, Like 180 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Obama goes to Harvard and or 181 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: Columbia and then Harvard actually Occidental, then Columbia than Harvard, 182 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: but whatever, And that's great. But Jade Vance is a 183 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: sellout because he went to a good school. Anyway, I 184 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: don't want to get too deep into this other than 185 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: just they'll say anything at this point that doesn't matter 186 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: whether it rings true or not. This is what I 187 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: would actually say. 188 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 4: I think Kamala Walls is the dumbest president vice president Combo. 189 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: You think lowest mean IQ, I think that'll. 190 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 4: Probably I think Kamala might be smarter than Walls. I 191 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 4: think watch your speech. I watched that speech last night. 192 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 4: Walls is an idiot. I mean the idea that this 193 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 4: guy would be a heartbeat away. I mean, first of all, 194 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 4: he got everything wrong in Minnesota as governor. But they 195 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 4: I really do think sometimes these speeches matter in the 196 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 4: context of you don't have that many opportunities to talk 197 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,239 Speaker 4: to tens of millions of people theoretically and introduce yourself. 198 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 4: So what you choose to convey in the same way 199 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 4: that I went after Christy Nome when she put in 200 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 4: her autobiography that she killed the dog, like what you 201 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 4: choose to emphasize to introduce yourself to an audience is 202 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 4: to me important because how you tell your story tells 203 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 4: us a lot about you. Wall spoke last night Buck 204 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 4: for sixteen minutes, and he was running and he was rambling, 205 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 4: and there was like random like football analogies that didn't 206 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 4: make sense, and there was no policy, and there was 207 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 4: no like actual intelligence. 208 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: I was really embarrassed for it. There's a phrase that 209 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: I think is pretty popular with either millennial or gen z. 210 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, but they'll call someone a try hard, 211 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: you know, like you're just trying so hard to convey something, 212 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: and I think it's useful in the context of walls. 213 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: I think he's a try hard with all of this stuff, 214 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: whether it's you know. 215 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 2: Oh, I wear the Camo hat and I was a 216 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: coach and I'm just the most normal guy, you know. 217 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,119 Speaker 1: If you have to bear, if you have to say exactly. 218 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: He's pushing so hard for an authenticity in a way 219 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: that I think undermines authenticity, because you should just be 220 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: able to be who you are walk into a room, 221 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: especially in a situation like this where everyone's looking up, 222 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, the learning about you and everything else, and 223 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: you don't have to push it that much, right, I mean, look, 224 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: I've seen this. I've seen this a lot. I mean, look, 225 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: I've been even in recent years. I'll go to the 226 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: range with guys who are, you know, former seals, or 227 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: I'll be talking to guys, you know about their time 228 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: in who were Delta guys, and they're not ever like 229 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: pounting their chests like oh, I'm such a badass, you 230 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, yeah, I know who they are. 231 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: They know who they are, and like everybody knows who 232 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: they You know, when you're in that kind of a setting, 233 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: you know, Tim Walls is kind of the other thing 234 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: where it's a guy who's like, oh, like, I'm so 235 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: much like look at me, mister military guy. And it's like, 236 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: but when it came time to really put your chips 237 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: in the middle and really show your stuff, you weren't 238 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: mister military guy, you know what I mean. So there's 239 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: just a lack of authenticity about all this stuff, and 240 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: I think, even more glaring a lack of intelligence. I 241 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: just I don't think this guy's very smart. Well, I 242 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: mean the stuff that he did on COVID and the 243 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: COVID tip line, I mean that that's unforgivable, correct, And 244 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: the notion that somehow he's the cuddly dad next door 245 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: that you know you could trust and you want, you know, 246 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: coaching your kids little league team. No, he's actually the 247 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: look he's Nancy Pelosi in a car heart jacket with 248 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: a camo hat. He really, you know, and he shut 249 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: down football. 250 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 4: I mean, if you're going to be coach Walls, they 251 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: had the signs that said coach Walls during the speech. 252 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 4: He didn't allow high schools to open or high school 253 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 4: sports to be played in the fall of twenty twenty 254 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 4: because he said it was too dangerous with COVID. He 255 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 4: wouldn't let people get together with their families for Thanksgiving 256 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty, and he says he's the neighborly guy. 257 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 4: They had a snitch a line. I think everything about 258 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 4: this guy is inauthentic. I think he's been wrong on 259 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 4: everything as the governor of Minnesota. But also I think 260 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 4: he's really dumb. I don't think he's an intelligent person. 261 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 4: I'd at all. 262 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: I don't like to resort to calling people dumb in 263 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: politics because they do that on the right all the time. 264 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: I will back you up on this one. I just 265 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: don't think he's I just don't think he's a very 266 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: high IQ high cognition guy. I really don't. And to 267 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: be fair, you and I have both agreed. I think 268 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: Kamal is smarter than he is. He's way smarter. Yeah, 269 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: I thinkam smarter than he is. And I don't think 270 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: that he's bringing to this take. It's so interesting. I 271 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: was talking to somebody about this recently. Maybe we can 272 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: come back in this a little more. As you see 273 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: this Walls thing play out. The New York Times is 274 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: willing to say it was effectively Kamala's ego. That was 275 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: the reason he was picked instead of some of the 276 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: other names that we were talking about. Yeah, is that 277 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: just the narrative they want out there though, because really 278 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: it was the hole. They can't have the anti Semites 279 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: mad at them by picking Joshapiro, you know what I mean? 280 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 4: Like they were really so much better. He's so much 281 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 4: more intelligent. He's in a state that matters more. I mean, 282 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 4: I watched him speak and I just said there. 283 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: So was he passed over because he would overshadow Kamala 284 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: or because of the anti Semitism thing? I am convinced 285 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: it could. I think it was the Jewish thing more. 286 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: I think I think it was too because they they 287 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: put out a narrative about Kamala that was unfavorable because 288 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: they had to sort of take take that hit. Anyway, 289 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: we'll get into more of this eight hundred two A 290 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: two two eight A two.

I will say, it's 322 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: a very nice time if you were to be in Chicago. 323 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: So they got that going for them. It is tonight 324 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris will accept formally the presidential nomination, which 325 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: is which is interesting because she was essentially gifted the 326 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: whole thing. Anyway, Something that hasn't gotten anywhere near enough 327 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: attention is that it's not as though Kamala Harris is 328 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: a VP who took over as a president and their 329 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: or found herself Clay, in a situation where you know, 330 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: she is the incumbent and therefore understandably is the nominee. 331 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: They just said, well, Biden stinks at this and it's 332 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: going to lose. We got to come up with somebody else. Hey, 333 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: you're going to be the person. Forget about the primary 334 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: we had. It is so anti democratic and I think 335 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: that we're seeing some indicators, Clay that that is going 336 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: to be part of why RFK Junior is moving in 337 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: the direction. It is not confirmed yet, but I mean 338 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: at this point it would be a huge shock if 339 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: it didn't happen. Is moving in the direction of a 340 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 1: Trump endorsement on Friday, which could if you have a 341 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: lackluster Kamala performance tonight, which I think is effectively guaranteed 342 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: to anybody who has you know, ears and is being honest, 343 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: and you have the RFK announcement tomorrow, this DNC is 344 00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: gonna end up being a. 345 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: Whole lot of nothing. I think this is credit to 346 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 4: Trump and his team so far. The RFK Junior news 347 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 4: has the potential in terms of its political impact, to 348 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 4: completely snow under anything that happened at the DNC. And 349 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 4: in fact, the gambling markets are telling you that that's 350 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: the story right now, because we told you yesterday. Hey, 351 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 4: pay attention. Before really very many people were talking about 352 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 4: it at all. There's really interesting movement here in the 353 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 4: gambling markets. RFK Junior looks like he may be preparing 354 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 4: to drop out now. It's a foregone conclusion. We finished 355 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 4: the show yesterday telling you that that seemed very likely, 356 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 4: and as a result, during the course of the DNC, 357 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris hasn't gotten the bounce that you usually get 358 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 4: from the DNC. She's actually so far in the gambling 359 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 4: markets seen the opposite of a bound, so it's a regression, 360 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 4: a decline, deficite. She is now trailing Trump. And let's 361 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 4: get into the nitty gritty on the numbers, Buck because 362 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 4: presuming tomorrow and this could happen live during our program, 363 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 4: we've got JD vance, by the way, on the show 364 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 4: tomorrow for those of you out there that are interested 365 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 4: in hearing us talk with him. I believe he scheduled 366 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 4: for one o'clock Eastern tomorrow, and oh, by the way, 367 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 4: we're also talking with Texas Governor Greg Abbott at two 368 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 4: thirty eastern in the third hour of this program. He's 369 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 4: going to be on with us today. He's the only 370 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 4: guest JD right now, I believe is the only guest tomorrow. 371 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 4: Reason why I bring that up. If RFK Junior, as 372 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 4: we believe he will, drops out of the race tomorrow 373 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 4: at two o'clock eastern he's in Phoenix, and then potentially 374 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 4: later that same day officially endorses Trump. The data and 375 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 4: you were right on this. Our intuition was right on 376 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 4: this buck is that roughly RFK Junior voters were otherwise 377 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 4: Trump voters by about a plus twenty point margin ish 378 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 4: if you look at where the five percent of his 379 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 4: vote was coming from, and this would mean that if 380 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 4: RFK Junior withdraws, that Trump would get about a two 381 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 4: percentage point pop from the RFK withdrawal. That is a 382 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 4: huge deal when you consider that this race may well 383 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 4: be decided by. 384 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Point one or point two percent overall in some of 385 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: these states. 386 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 4: And I just look at it, and I think this 387 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 4: is Kamala Harris's team really failing on two fronts right now, 388 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 4: one RFK Junior potentially coming in two buck. I watched 389 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 4: Josh Shapiro. He's way smarter than Tim Walls. He's in 390 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 4: a state that matters far more. Right now, if you 391 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 4: look at all the data, effectively, who wins Pennsylvania looks 392 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 4: like that person is going to be President of the 393 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 4: United States. 394 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 6: Now. 395 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 4: I'm not trying to take away the importance of other 396 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 4: states or certainly other battleground states, but the easiest way 397 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 4: for Trump to win is to control North Carolina. That 398 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 4: has continue to win North Carolina, win Georgia, which he 399 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 4: is I think going to do and then win Pennsylvania, 400 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 4: and he's president of the United States. It doesn't even 401 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 4: matter what happens then in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, or Nevada. 402 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 4: If Trump wins Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, he's the president. 403 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: Now. 404 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 4: I want him to win all those other battleground states. 405 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 4: I want you guys voting as hard as you can, 406 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 4: working as hard as you can. But that isn't a 407 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 4: very complicated picture to win. 408 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: I come back. 409 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 4: We were talking about this earlier in the first hour. 410 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 4: RFK Junior is going to snow under the impact of 411 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 4: the DNC. But after watching Josh Shapiro even more Buck, 412 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 4: I cannot believe that Kamala Harris picked this more on 413 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 4: Tim Walls over Josh Shapiro. Walls is in a state 414 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 4: that she's gonna win anyway, and by the way, if 415 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 4: she loses Minnesota, she's losing. It's not even romote close. 416 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: There only have been two, as we talked about the 417 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: first hour, two explanations for not picking Shapiro. There's only 418 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: two pathways that anyone's talked about. Kamala Harris's insecurity, which 419 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: and connection to Walls, which is what has been offered 420 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: by the Democrats, or they didn't want to lose Michigan 421 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: because of all the anti Semites in the Democrat Party. 422 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: Who in the case of Michigan are they're thinking about 423 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: Muslim voters who were angry about the Jews in Israel. 424 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: That's what they're really talking about. Okay, that's the real deal. 425 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: And I gotta say, I mean, maybe it's a combination 426 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: of those two, but neither one of those are good 427 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: reasons to not pick Shapiro for Pennsylvania. Do you know 428 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: what I mean? I mean, both of them look both 429 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: of them are bad looks. I'm still stunned she didn't 430 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: do it. I mean. 431 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 4: And my point on this is, if you're looking at 432 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 4: larger strategy, JD Vance, whatever you think about him, we 433 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 4: talked about this in the first how the guy's really smart. Okay, 434 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 4: you can attack him on policy issues, you can disagree 435 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 4: with him politically, the guy is really really smart. Okay, 436 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 4: so he is a very intelligent VP. I think he 437 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 4: would be able to analyze issues. I think Waltz is 438 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 4: a moron, I really do. And JD is able to 439 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 4: go in And I'm just going to say this, I'm 440 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 4: just going to say it some people, howe me a 441 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 4: little bit. 442 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: I got a little bit, a little bit of messages. 443 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: I'm worried about JD. I don't think JD was the 444 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: right Pickbuck, Why did you think, I'm like, darn it, 445 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: keep the faith. JD was a good pick. Trump is 446 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: going to win. Stay focused, people, Let's not get you know, 447 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: wishy washy on this stuff. JD can go in any 448 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: media environment, any place and handle whatever they throw at him. 449 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: He is walking into bear trap after bear trap and 450 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: laughing as they try to close it on his leg. 451 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: He does not break. He is not somebody who is 452 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: going to be making mistakes and right now for Trump's 453 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: VP to be able to go on offense against Walls 454 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: and Kamala mind you and not you know, step on 455 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: a rake and not cause a big problem for the ticket, that's. 456 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 4: What you need. I don't think there's any doubt. But 457 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 4: you combine RFK Junior dropping out and endorsing Trump, which 458 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 4: we think is going to happen tomorrow potentially while we're 459 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 4: on the air, and the mishandling of the most important 460 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 4: decision she's had to make since she was handed the nomination. 461 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris, I think going Tim Walls, we're going to 462 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 4: be talking again seventy five days ish until the election. 463 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 4: A lot of you are going to be able to 464 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 4: vote in about thirty days. I want to continue to 465 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 4: encourage you to vote early. I'm going to go for 466 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 4: the first time ever and vote as early as I 467 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 4: possibly can, because I want to send the message to 468 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 4: you guys, hey, don't wait till election day. Go ahead 469 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 4: and get your vote tallied. Let them focus on other 470 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 4: voters that may or may not show up that are 471 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 4: likely Trump support. I'm just telling you go get your 472 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 4: votes in early and often. I should say, if I 473 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 4: were a Democrat, maybe you can vote after your dad too. 474 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 4: I really think this Wall's decision is a disaster for her. 475 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: I do. 476 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 4: I just think the more you look at his record, Buck, 477 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 4: you are right about this. COVID was an intelligence test 478 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 4: m hm. And look, there are lots of ways to 479 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 4: analyze it. But if you are a governor, you have 480 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 4: never had more consequential power in your entire life, in 481 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 4: the life basically of anybody that's listening to us right now, 482 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 4: than during COVID, and how you handled that power as 483 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 4: a governor or, A mayor but certainly as a governor 484 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 4: tells us everything we need to know about you. Walls 485 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 4: set up a snitch line. He didn't let kids play sports. 486 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 4: He kept schools shut down, buck when they went back. 487 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 4: He forced kids to play basketball in Minnesota wearing masks. 488 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 4: Think about how I want to curse so bad. Think 489 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 4: about how frigging stupid it is to have required kids 490 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 4: running up and down the court at playing basketball to 491 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 4: have masks on. That was a requirement in the state 492 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 4: of Minnesota. He didn't let people get together with their 493 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: loved ones for Thanksgiving in twenty twenty. He set up 494 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 4: a snitch line on all this guy. And that doesn't 495 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 4: even consider letting the whole Minneapolis burn down and raising 496 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 4: the windows so he and his ignorant wife, I want 497 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 4: to smell the burning smell the burning tires of the 498 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 4: city burning around them. Like this guy was wrong on 499 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 4: everything that's ever mattered, And I think it's because he's 500 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 4: not smart enough to have made the intelligent choice. He 501 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 4: followed the herd. He did what all the Democrat morons 502 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 4: told him that he should do in a time of leadership. 503 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: He failed. 504 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 4: And that doesn't even consider all the lies he's told. 505 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 4: I just the two most consequential decisions he made as 506 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 4: a governor COVID and how to respond to the BLM protest. 507 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 4: He couldn't have been worse on. 508 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: And yet there are people out there who are in 509 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: the media and trying so hard to convince everyone that 510 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: Tim Walls is a different kind of Democrats. It's a fraud. 511 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: Just like we told you at the time, Biden as 512 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: a uniter and a person who was going to bring 513 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: the country together was a lie and a fraud. Okay, 514 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: So there's no doubt that's what they're trying to pull here. 515 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: I am interested to hear what are people? What you 516 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: all think? Can I do y'all what y'all think? There 517 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: we go? 518 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 4: Oh man, it's gonna be like Democrats using folks. 519 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: I know I was gonna say. I'm sitting here in 520 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: my camo hat saying y'all. 521 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 4: Every time I hear somebody say the word folk, it 522 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 4: makes me want to pull my hair out because it's 523 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 4: so profoundly and authentic. I think Barack Obama started it. 524 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 4: Folks are always saying. 525 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: Like folks, yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, But I look, I 526 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: want to throw this into the mix. RFK Junior endorsing 527 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: Trump seems like it's helpful. How do you feel about 528 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: RFK Junior being in a Trump administration in a senior role? 529 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: Do you like this? That's a different question than do 530 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: we want him to endorse Trump? At this point, all 531 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: are welcome, all hands on deck. Trump's gotta win. Whatever 532 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: we can do. Fantastic If RFK Junior endors Ism, I'll 533 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: be singing his praises for making the right decision on 534 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: Friday tomorrow. But what do we think about RFK Junior 535 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: Clay in a in a real administration role. There's some 536 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: there's some talk that it could be a pretty important 537 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: role too. So I'm curious to write that down. 538 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 4: I'm curious what our audience thinks to eight hundred two 539 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 4: A two two eight A two what y'all think? As 540 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 4: Buck attempted to say, look tonight, Kamala Harris, speaking of folks, 541 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 4: you can probably drop a few folks. She's gonna give 542 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 4: her acceptance speech, and you know it's probably gonna be 543 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 4: painful to watch. Certainly, it's not gonna be as impressive 544 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 4: as back in the day when Reagan, who is one 545 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 4: of our best presidential orders, would get up and succinctly 546 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 4: cut through the mess to make sense of the world. Well, 547 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 4: new movie coming out for I next Friday, that's headed 548 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 4: into Labor Day weekend.

Dennis Quaid 552 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 4: plays Ronald Reagan. Remarkable job incorporating the confidence style in 553 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 4: which Reagan carried himself. No easy role to get into 554 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 4: character four, He's done it with a lot of help 555 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 4: from a great cast, including Penelope and Miller, who is 556 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 4: playing Nancy Reagan. Timing couldn't be better with the focused 557 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 4: attention on the presidential race upcoming debates. Make plans to 558 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 4: see the movie over Labor Day weekend. Get your tickets 559 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 4: now at Reagan Movie.

Appreciate all 565 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 4: of you hanging out with us, and we got a 566 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 4: lot of people who want to weigh in. I think 567 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 4: the most consequential news to come out of this week, 568 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 4: if it happens tomorrow, is going to be RFK Junior 569 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 4: dropping out of the race and endorsing Donald Trump. We 570 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 4: told you that from a pure mathematical perspective, Let's say 571 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: that RFK Junior has five percent of the vote on 572 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 4: average in many different states. If he drops out due 573 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 4: to the fact that Trump is losing about twenty percent 574 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 4: of that vote. In other words, RFK Junior voters are 575 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 4: more likely to support Trump than Kamala. 576 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: That could lead to a net. 577 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 4: Two points increase in Trump's overall supple and that that 578 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 4: would be potentially a difference maker in many of the 579 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 4: battleground states. And that's what the data has kind of 580 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 4: begun to reflect. But we asked and are curious, how 581 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 4: would you all analyze this perspective. I've bet a lot 582 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 4: of you are RFK Junior voters that are listening to 583 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 4: us right now. If RFK Junior drops out, what will 584 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 4: you do eight hundred two eight two two eight a 585 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 4: two And where should RFK Junior be in a Trump 586 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 4: administration if part of the deal is that Trump would 587 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 4: bring him in. Julie in Boise, Idaho. Uh, what's your 588 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 4: take on RFK Junior? Were you interested in voting for him? 589 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 4: How do you think he should fit in in the 590 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 4: Trump universe if he does drop out and endorse. 591 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 8: I think that he'd be great with the Trump administration 592 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 8: any position. He'd be great as president. He has worked 593 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 8: with these people, He's lived with these people in his family. 594 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 8: He's bought them in the courtroom. He knows the facts, 595 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 8: he can stand up to them. He has with EPA 596 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 8: Monsanto environment like water issues, He's has a proven track 597 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 8: record with that. He in healthcare, he has evidence in there. 598 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 8: He's sat across from Fauci. At one point Fauci just 599 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 8: lied to his face. His book is excellent about Fauci. 600 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 8: Thought you would assume him if any of that was 601 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 8: not true. 602 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 4: Julie, would you were you planning on voting for RFK 603 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 4: Junior or how were you planning on voting in twenty 604 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 4: twenty four? 605 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 8: I would absolutely vote for him, and then if he lost, 606 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 8: like Trump needs to win. 607 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: Wait, wait, so so your first choice was RFK over Trump? 608 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 8: Yeah? 609 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 4: Wow, so you will now be voting Trump if RFK 610 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 4: Junior drops out. 611 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: I presume for sure. 612 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 8: I mean Kamela Kamala. 613 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: She's like, I can't do communism. Guys, Yes, we agree. 614 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: Communism is a bad choice under the circumstances. Thank you 615 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: very much, Julie. That's interesting, Clai. I think I think 616 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: we have a you know, a good core group of 617 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: our team here who aren't just favorable to RFK or 618 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: RFK first RFK top of ticket voters, which is interesting. 619 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 4: I think there is at least ten percent of our 620 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 4: audience and it may be higher that is still so 621 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 4: furious over COVID that they're willing to overlook RFK Junior 622 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 4: on many other different issues, but they're so angry over 623 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 4: COVID that they were with him. I think ten percent 624 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 4: of the audience. 625 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: Jerry and Kate Coral, Florida. What have you got for us? 626 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 9: Jerry, basically, my apologies to Julian advance. 627 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 6: RFK. His views on a lot of things are very liberal. 628 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 6: And if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still 629 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 6: a p You can dress it up however you want. 630 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 6: And I'd like to make one other quick comment. When 631 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 6: you guys were talking earlier, I don't know if it 632 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 6: was Trey or Buck. But somebody said that Bill Clinton 633 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 6: would balance the budget. 634 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 10: No, that's not quite true. 635 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 9: He moved Social Security funds from the trust fund to 636 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 9: the general fund and they called it a balanced budget. 637 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 9: Now there's no money there and they've got to take 638 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 9: it from current workers and funds social Security. So you 639 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 9: need to go look into that. He did not balance 640 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,919 Speaker 9: the budget until they moved the money from Social. 641 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 10: Security over to the general fund. 642 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 6: And that's all I gotta say. 643 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: All Right, thank you very much. I'm gonna go yell 644 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: a tray over that one. Trey's taking some bullets today. 645 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: I hate that guy in Austin, Texas. What have you 646 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: got for us? 647 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 11: Mike, Hey, I'm a trunk voter all the way, but 648 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 11: I do think RFK would expand our base. And I 649 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 11: don't think he's going to hurt us in any way 650 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 11: as far as the Kennedy legacy, the family name being 651 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 11: Caden by voting for Trump, they have noted him when 652 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 11: they turned all their support to Slow Joe a couple 653 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 11: of months ago. Oh, I don't think he's going to 654 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 11: hurt us in any way. 655 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: Look, I think I mean Clay, you know, certainly speak 656 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: for yourself on this one. But I think that and 657 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: Mike is bringing up some of these issues. 658 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 8: You know. 659 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: For me, the the first objection was I thought all along, 660 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: like the evolution of my RFK thinking, first of all, 661 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: he's a Democrat, I don't trust him. Okay, I start, 662 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: I start from that, I don't trust him politically, right. 663 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: But the bigger thing for me was okay, I didn't care. 664 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: They were used to be saying, oh, he's pulling more 665 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: from Democrats. That was not true. He's pulling more Trump votes. 666 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: So I really want Donald Trump to win this election. 667 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: I've always really wanted Donald Trump to win this election. 668 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: Anybody as a third party candidate who would threaten that 669 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 1: by being a spoiler that frustrates me. Now it seems 670 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: we're getting away from that, and looks like he's gonna 671 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: endorse Trump. So now he'd be on the team. He's 672 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: on the t If he gets on the Trump train, 673 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,919 Speaker 1: that's great, he's welcome. The layer beyond that for me though, 674 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: is okay. But if he's in a Trump administration, is 675 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,479 Speaker 1: he trustworthy on policy? Because those are not the same thing. 676 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 4: My thoughts on RFK Junior when Biden was the nominee 677 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 4: was there are a lot of people who aren't comfortable 678 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 4: jumping from one party to another. That is, if you're 679 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 4: a Democrat, traditionally it's hard to go straight to Republican. 680 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 4: If you're a Republican, it's hard to go straight to Democrat. 681 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,399 Speaker 4: A lot of times, what third parties do is they 682 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 4: are stepping stones to a party change. 683 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: I've seen this in my life. I say, I think 684 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: you see this more as a convert to conservatism. Correct. 685 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 1: You know, I'm like the weird monk who's been living 686 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: in the conservative monastery since I was fourteen. You're a 687 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: convert right, so you can see how somebody with new information, 688 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: new understanding, and perception can switch over in that way, 689 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: for better or worse. 690 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 4: I'm persuadable, And what I mean by that is I 691 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 4: am willing to challenge my pre existing opinions. If you 692 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 4: show me data and you make a strong argument, I 693 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 4: will look at it and say, hey, you know what, 694 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 4: I got this one wrong. I think there are a 695 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 4: lot of people out there listening to us right now 696 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 4: that may have voted in twenty sixteen Hillary, that may 697 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 4: have voted in twenty twenty for Joe Biden, and they 698 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 4: are willing to recognize that they might have gotten it wrong, 699 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 4: but jumping all the way to Trump was a too 700 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 4: big of a bridge for them. 701 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 1: So RFK Junior was the happy meeting. He's the gate 702 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 1: RFK Junior is the gateway drug to MAGA. Correct. 703 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 4: I think there is some truth to that, and I 704 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 4: think there are a lot of people I'm partly one 705 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 4: of them, that are still so angry about COVID that 706 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 4: they're unhappy with how Trump handled COVID and the fact 707 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 4: that he beat DeSantis. That's a I don't know ten percent, 708 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 4: like I said, of our audience, and they were going 709 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 4: to go our FK Junior because of that, we need 710 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 4: to play the audio we come back. Maybe we can 711 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 4: do that. I thought Trump was brilliant yesterday in Asheville. 712 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 4: I don't know how much attention it got, but he 713 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,720 Speaker 4: said something, and we've been arguing on this show for years, 714 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 4: maybe in the first time he said it, at least 715 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 4: publicly at a rally. He said, Hey, if you're in 716 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 4: the military and you got fired because you wouldn't get 717 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 4: the COVID shot, I will rehire you, and I will 718 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 4: you know, apologize on behalf of the United States government, 719 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 4: and I'll give you full back pay. 720 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: That absolutely should happen. By the way, billion percent should happen. 721 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: Credit to Trump for saying it. 722 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 4: But if you're out there and you're angry about COVID, okay, 723 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 4: this is something tangible an apology from the United States. 724 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: Position, I would say it should be any position, period, 725 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: but the federal government doesn't have that power necessarily. 726 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 4: But I won't play that audio for you when we 727 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 4: come back. I thought it was fabulous from Trump yesterday. 728 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: Ash Fell. 729 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 4: I think Trump is starting to get his sea legs 730 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 4: in this battle against Kamala. I think he was a 731 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 4: little bit wayward for the first couple of weeks. He 732 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 4: didn't know how to address her because he'd been fighting 733 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 4: Biden for so long. 734 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: He wasn't able to pivot to readjust. He had to readjust. 735 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: It's a different fighter, you know, it's a different situation 736 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: that he's in. But that's why i've you know, some 737 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: people are getting a little little freaked out. I was 738 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: telling him, we need to keep our composure. We need 739 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: to keep our composure and we'll be just fine. Uh, 740 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 1: what do you want to do one Warria. We've got 741 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:30,959 Speaker 1: so many calls on this issue. I think it's sisting 742 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: David and Grand Rapids Michigan. What have you got for 743 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: his David hey claim? 744 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 5: But hey, first and foremost, thanks for everything you guys do, 745 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,439 Speaker 5: so thank you. I just want to I just wanted 746 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 5: to give a little take. Obviously, I'll take any additional 747 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 5: votes wherever we can get him, and I think his endorsement, 748 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 5: I think would. 749 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: Be would be good. 750 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 5: Obviously everybody knows he's a smart individual. Let me throw 751 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 5: this out there, like, what if in the administration, like 752 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 5: Trump said, Hey, that's have you be in charge of 753 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 5: the CIA? 754 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: Like, oh, that's your wheelhouse? Buck? What do you think 755 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: about the idea? RFK? 756 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 4: Sorry to cut you off, but we got literally a 757 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 4: CIA officer for seven years who's on the show. So 758 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 4: I mean this is your wheelhouse your thoughts on RFK 759 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 4: Junior or a CIA director?

Because I gotta put together a 766 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: few things all right, we'll come to it in a second. 767 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: That's for sure.

We all came in and we are 811 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: ready also for a big Republican win in this election. 812 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: God willing. Let's dive into this. The border is one 813 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: of the biggest vulnerabilities that the Harris Walls ticket has. 814 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: One thing that we have heard a lot about is 815 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: what's going on at the border now. The way Democrats 816 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: try to speak about it, they act like, well, it's 817 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: been largely secured or partially secured. What's the status or 818 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: the border as we go into this election season? 819 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 10: Charg give me the status, but you first need to 820 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 10: know the timeline. Remember that Harris and Biden refused to 821 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 10: take any action whatsoever other than allow people in illegally 822 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 10: until June, as in two months ago, when Biden took 823 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 10: this action that he said fixed the border problem. So 824 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 10: remember that June timetable. Then remember this, and that is 825 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 10: if you look at when the decline actually began of 826 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 10: people crossing the border illegally. It happened late last year, 827 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 10: So what caused it to begin to go down? What 828 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 10: cause it was the action that Texas had taken. When 829 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 10: you add it all up together, Texas has built a 830 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 10: mile after the same border wall that President of Trump belt. 831 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 10: We've added those big orange buoys that stop people from 832 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 10: crossing that are placed in the Rio Grande River. We 833 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 10: have thousands of National Guard members who have built hundreds 834 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 10: of miles of raisin wire border barrier that deny illegal entry. 835 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 10: Here's the point. If you look at that park and 836 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 10: Eagle Pass, Texas, that's fifty acres in size that Joe 837 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 10: Biden and Kamala Harris had used to process up to 838 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 10: five thousand the illegal immigrants a day. I ordered the 839 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 10: National Guard to why are that shut? And since that 840 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 10: time we've had an average now of less than one 841 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 10: person crossing that area a day as opposed to five thousand. Then, 842 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 10: on top of that, if you look at the overall 843 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 10: decline and what Texas has been able to achieve over 844 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 10: the past year of illegal crossings on the border in Texas, 845 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,880 Speaker 10: it has gone down eighty seven percent. And because Texas 846 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 10: represents two thirds of the entire border, because of what 847 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 10: Texas has been able to achieve. That means that overall 848 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 10: illegal immigration across the entire border has gone down. It's 849 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 10: been texas our efforts to put up resistance to do 850 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 10: the things that the federal government is supposed to do, 851 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 10: which is to deny illegal entry. That's what has actually 852 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 10: led to the massive decline in illegal border crossings. 853 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 4: Governor Abbott with US right now. Governor, I think this 854 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 4: is really important for what you do. If Donald Trump 855 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 4: is elected in about seventy five days and takes office 856 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 4: in January, versus if Kamala Harris is elected and takes 857 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,720 Speaker 4: office in January, what will it mean for the Texas border? 858 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 4: And as a corollary to that, or in addition to that, 859 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 4: what will it mean to so many other communities because 860 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,240 Speaker 4: people don't stop in Texas, all of them, they filter 861 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 4: in everywhere. How much different is your job in Texas 862 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 4: As right there on the front line of the border 863 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 4: with Kamala in office versus Trump. 864 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:02,240 Speaker 10: In office, night and day difference. When Trump does get elected, 865 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,359 Speaker 10: and one reason he will get elected is because of 866 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 10: the disaster and the danger and the death caused by 867 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 10: the Harris Biden border policy. You know, think of all 868 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 10: the people whose names you could write ale off right 869 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 10: now who have been murdered by illegal immigrants who have 870 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 10: been allowed in by Kamala Harris. As the borders are 871 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 10: so for one, the death in Mayhem that we've seen 872 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 10: over the past year will be eliminated. But more than that, 873 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 10: President Trump will do two large primary things. One is 874 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 10: reinstitute what led to the lowest illegal border crossings in 875 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 10: forty five years, and that is to reinstate the Remain 876 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 10: in Mexico policy, some version of the title of forty 877 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 10: two policy in catching relief that was put into place 878 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,719 Speaker 10: by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and to continue to 879 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 10: build the border wall. Those strategies will dramatically reduce not 880 00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 10: only illegal immigration, but also the murder is committed by 881 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 10: these dangerous criminals that are coming across the border. It 882 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,879 Speaker 10: will reduce the chances of terrorism by actually apprehending these 883 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 10: people and either you know, sending them back across the 884 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 10: border or putting them in jail. So my job as 885 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 10: governor of Texas, what Texas is a state is having 886 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 10: to invest will decrease dramatically. So Texans are coming out 887 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 10: of pockets about ten billion dollars out of our budget 888 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 10: to fund our own border security, and that's money that 889 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:31,800 Speaker 10: we will be able to put right back into the 890 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 10: pockets of our fellow Texans. So importantly, to expand that 891 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 10: to other states, every state is now a border state. 892 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 10: They're dealing not just with de fens and old They're 893 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 10: dealing with criminals. They're dealing with an overload of illegal 894 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 10: immigrants in their own communities that they simply cannot afford 895 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,399 Speaker 10: to deal with. This is going to be better for 896 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 10: people in Georgia, better for people in Pennsylvania, better for 897 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 10: people in Michigan and Wisconsin, and definitely better for people 898 00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 10: in Arizona and Nevada. It's going to be so helpful 899 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,240 Speaker 10: to leaders and communities and residents in all of these states. 900 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 10: And that's why I think Trump is definitely going to 901 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 10: win because of the massive differential between what Trump will 902 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 10: do in security the border and what Kamala Harris has 903 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 10: done in her open border policies that have crushed the 904 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 10: United States of America. 905 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 1: We're speaking of Governor Abbott of Texas. Governor, I totally 906 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: agree with you on both the stark difference in approach 907 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: to the border from Trump and what the Harris, the 908 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 1: Harris administration will do also agree with you. Trump's gonna win, 909 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 1: But of course we have to focus and stay on 910 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 1: the case. Here. I am wondering if you could just 911 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 1: give us some sense, because I think the more that 912 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 1: this can be made real to people, especially anybody who's 913 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 1: a swing voter, the like lader, is to have an 914 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: impact on election day. You know, New York City has 915 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: I think spent six billion dollars on illegals this year 916 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: and is looking like it will spend between ten and 917 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollars over a three year period of the 918 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 1: Biden administration. What is the cost? I mean, to the 919 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 1: degree that you can gauge it for us, the cost 920 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: of illegals as Texas has to bear that burden as 921 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: a state. 922 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 10: So it's as massive just as Texas alone, whether it 923 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 10: be because of the strategies that we have invested in 924 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 10: to deny illegal entry that we have to continue to 925 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 10: invest in. As an example, Texas built our own military 926 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,399 Speaker 10: base that will held us up to two thousand National 927 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 10: Guard soldiers right there on the border outside of Eagle Pass. 928 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,880 Speaker 10: That costs a lot of money to continue to maintain. 929 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,439 Speaker 10: But then you look at other costs. To look at 930 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 10: the healthcare costs. And by the way, I issued an 931 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 10: executive order last week, we're requiring all hospitals in the 932 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 10: stead of Texas to disclose exactly how much cost they're 933 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 10: incurring to treat illegal immigrants. And we're going to be 934 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 10: looking at the same thing with regard to our schools 935 00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,800 Speaker 10: and other services. But it would probably when you count schools, 936 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 10: we're talking billions of dollars. But here's the important thing 937 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 10: for your listeners. What I'm talking about as far as 938 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 10: costs are concerned, you residents of other states, your states 939 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 10: are facing the same out of pocket expenses that this 940 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 10: is money. Understand that this I cannot make a more 941 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 10: important point. Because of Kamala Harris's policies, you, as a 942 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,359 Speaker 10: taxpayer of your state, we're going to have to come 943 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 10: out of pocket to pay for services in your state 944 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 10: for illegal immigrants, money that you should not be taxed for. 945 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 10: Money that should be going into your pockets, money that 946 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 10: should be used to reduce what you pay at the 947 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 10: price of the company at the grocery store. But all 948 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 10: those costs are going up because your state is going 949 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,279 Speaker 10: to have to spend more money dealing with the devastating 950 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 10: consequences of Kamala Harris allowing more illegal immigrants into our country. 951 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: All right, you mentioned college football is back. 952 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 4: Let's finish off with some positive news here, because I 953 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,759 Speaker 4: agree with Buck Trump's going to win. You guys are 954 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 4: going to deliver Texas. Ted Cruz is going to win 955 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 4: down there as well. I saw you last week, your 956 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 4: lovely wife as well. We had a good time visiting. 957 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 4: I appreciate the fact that you're the most successful Vanderbilt 958 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,439 Speaker 4: Law school grad even if they probably won't don't want 959 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:16,279 Speaker 4: you back on campus either, but you have got an 960 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 4: incredible season coming up. Texas is now in the SEC. 961 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 4: You I told you I'm coming down for that Georgia 962 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 4: Texas game. Eric, how much fun is Austin gonna be 963 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,800 Speaker 4: now that the University of Texas is back in the SEC. 964 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 4: And if you're an Aggie that the Longhorns and the 965 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,439 Speaker 4: Aggies are going to be playing every Thanksgiving week all 966 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 4: over again too for people who don't realize how much 967 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 4: fun that's going to be and what a big deal 968 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,400 Speaker 4: it is. Not to mention Oklahoma, who I know is 969 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 4: a big rival. What's Austin gonna feel like? 970 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 10: I'll tell you but let me real quick tell you 971 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 10: that when I've had the chance to visit with you 972 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 10: and make your wife, but I now know where you 973 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:58,719 Speaker 10: came out with a name for your show of. 974 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 4: Hey, you did well for yourself to governor. But we 975 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,359 Speaker 4: both have out kicked our coverage for sure. 976 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 10: But listen, it's going to be an extraordinarily exciting year 977 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 10: for the University of Texas. Obviously, they played great last year, 978 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 10: went to the Final four playoff game. But what a 979 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,719 Speaker 10: lot of people don't know is that either they have 980 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 10: everybody back or even even though they had three wide 981 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,800 Speaker 10: receivers that were drafted by the pros, the wide receiver 982 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 10: team is going to be better this year. The quarterback 983 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 10: is going to be better one more year experience. We 984 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 10: have one of the best offensive lines in the country. 985 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 10: They're gonna be a pinball machine when they run up 986 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 10: scores across the nation. And we have an exciting game 987 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 10: against Michigan the second game of the year. Then we 988 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,319 Speaker 10: got the gauntlet of playing OU at the Red River 989 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:49,439 Speaker 10: Robbery Game in Dallas and then hosting Georgia. Finished off 990 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,360 Speaker 10: with the reuniting of the Texas, Texas A and m 991 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 10: football game. Uh that that game alone. I mean, tickets 992 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 10: are going for astronomic prices so people can see it 993 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 10: in person, and that's going to be something that a 994 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 10: lot of eyeballs are going to be watching.
