1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. This is the best of with 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 2: The next Vice President of the United States. J D Vance, 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 2: Senator from Ohio, joins us. Now, JD, great to have 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: you on the program again. 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 3: Good to be with you guys. 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 4: Sorry, we're good man. 8 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 2: You know, some of us knew you were going to 9 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: be the VP, like six months ago. I'm just saying 10 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: some of us. There's there's a record of this stuff 11 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: out there, so. 12 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 5: I had to buy a steak for Buck. He said 13 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 5: that you were going to be the VP pick months 14 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 5: and months ago. It's his greatest prediction on the show, 15 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 5: so I'm not surprised that he would decide to gloat 16 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 5: as we began the interview, just throwing it out there. 17 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 3: That makes one of us guys because you knew something Buck, 18 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 3: I didn't know. But good on you. 19 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 4: Ah, there you go. 20 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes the best thing is to throw it 21 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: into the end zone with your eyes closed. So anyway, 22 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: my friend I got lucky on that one. Tell me 23 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: this though, last night, the Kamalist speech we both watched, 24 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: meaning Clay and I. 25 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 4: I'm sure you watched it too. 26 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: It feels like a camp you know how seinfeldt was 27 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: a show about nothing. I mean, it wasn't obviously totally 28 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: about nothing, but it was just like them living their lives. 29 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: And that's how we pitched it to NBC. It's a 30 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: show about nothing. The Kamala campaign seems to just be 31 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: a show about feelings. 32 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 4: What is she really trying. 33 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: To accomplish, Like, what is the what is the policy thrust? 34 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I didn't watch the whole speech just because I, 35 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: you know, didn't want to lose twenty IQ points, you know, 36 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 3: when I'm underslept thanks to the campaign. But look, I 37 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: think that what she's trying to do here is make 38 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: herself the change agent, right. She's trying to make people 39 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 3: forget that she bears responsibility for the open border, for 40 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: the inflation, for the you know, the Inflation Explosion Act, 41 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: which she cats to deciding vote on, And she's I 42 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 3: think persuading her party that if they just lie to 43 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: the American people and try to induce this collective amnesia, 44 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: everybody's gonna forget that she's been the vice president for 45 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: the past three and a half years. And I just 46 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 3: don't think it works. Right. It maybe works for one 47 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: night at the DNC convention, when there's no countervailing narrati. 48 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 3: But I don't think that she can run that message 49 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: for seventy five days. Eventually people are going to say, like, 50 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 3: why did you do all these things that made my 51 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: life worse? And I don't think Kamala has a good answer. 52 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 5: Tim Walls is I think also a disaster. But one 53 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 5: of the attack lines that they've come after you on, 54 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 5: I just think is, regardless of your politics, absolutely ridiculous. 55 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 5: And I'm curious for you. You graduated from a family 56 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 5: that was not very doing very well financially, went into 57 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 5: the Marines, went to Ohio State. I'll ask you about 58 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 5: the Buckey's forecast this year here in a little bit, 59 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 5: and then you go to Yale Law School. That's an 60 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 5: incredible accomplishment. I know your grandmother and your mother were 61 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 5: ecstatic about you being able to accomplish that. When Tim 62 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 5: Walls and Kamala Harris attack you for going to Yale 63 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 5: Law School, I think it lands really flat, not even 64 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 5: with just Democrat voters or Republican voters, but just moms 65 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 5: and dads and grandpas and grandma's out there that want 66 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 5: their kids to achieve as much as possible. Well, you 67 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 5: kind of surprised that this has become one of the 68 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 5: lines of attack against you. 69 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I am surprised because I know these people are 70 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: cynical about politics, and I just don't think that it 71 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: actually works, right. I mean, a lot of Americans, especially 72 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 3: those who grow up in less fortunate circumstances, they want 73 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: their kids to be able to achieve the American dream. 74 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 3: And I've never felt this sense of resentment directed towards me. 75 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 3: I've always felt when people hear my story, they kind 76 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: of see, you know, themselves and me, and they're rooting 77 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: for me because I came from a similar background to 78 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 3: the one that they came from. And I think any 79 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 3: kid who grows up in the kind of circumstances that 80 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: I grew up in a poor family, you know, not 81 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: the nicest things, not easy, not an easy life. You know, 82 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: we always feel the sense of great gratitude to the 83 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: people who made us who we are, and for me, particularly, 84 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: that's my mom and my grandmother, and I just feel 85 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: like this overwhelming sense of thanks that they worked and 86 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: sacrificed and made it possible for me to live the 87 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: life that I've been able to live. I think most 88 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 3: Americans feel that sense of gratitude to somebody in their life. 89 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: When Tim Watson tries to insult what I've accomplished, he's 90 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: fundamentally insulting. You know, these women who made me who 91 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: I am. I just don't think that it works. I 92 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: think most people want their kids to have a better life, 93 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: and they're kind of problem that happens. They're not resentful. 94 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 4: You know. 95 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: There was a lot of attention on the comments that 96 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 2: Andy Basher made after I think it was night two 97 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 2: of the DNC and he brought you up and he 98 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: said something that people truly thought was over the line 99 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: and tried to give him an opportunity to walk it 100 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: back or clarify, and the governor Kentucky did not do. 101 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 4: So what do you think about that? 102 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: Where do you stand on what Basher said when he 103 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: said that he hoped that something terrible would befall your family? 104 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was really gross, right. I mean, 105 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: I sort of expect that people are going to come 106 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: after me. That's the price of participating in national politics. 107 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: But to have a guy stand there and say, well, 108 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: I hope that JD speriences of female in his family 109 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 3: who's impregnated through rape, It's like well, are you talking 110 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: about my daughter, you talk about my wife? It's just gross. 111 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: Just leave these guys out of it and don't engage 112 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 3: in these bizarre fantasies because you have these ridiculous, regressive 113 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: social views. So look, man, it's you kind of get 114 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: used to it. My wife is very tough, and I 115 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: think that, you know, she sort of accepts that this 116 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 3: is just the price of participation here, not just for me, 117 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 3: but for herself and for the whole family. It's not 118 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 3: a good thing. That that's how it is. And you know, 119 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 3: I think the best revenge here is victory, right. We 120 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: want to beat these guys, take back the country and 121 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 3: make them realize that that kind of politics just doesn't 122 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: work for most Americans. But if we don't beat them, 123 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: then it's going to be rewarded. I think it's one 124 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: of the reasons it's so important to actually win, is 125 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: it's not just we want to govern the country more effectively, 126 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: and that's obviously the most important thing. I think we 127 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 3: also want to make sure that the Democrats don't feel 128 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,119 Speaker 3: emboldened by the kind of race that they've been running, 129 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: which is completely divorced from details or policy. It's all 130 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: about vibes and it's all about gas lighting, Like, I 131 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: don't want anybody to be elected president running a campaign 132 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: like that. 133 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 5: RFK Junior is going to have a rally in about 134 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 5: an hour. President Trump is out in Phoenix area as well. 135 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 5: Do you expect RFK Junior to drop out of the 136 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 5: race And if he does, do you think he's going 137 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 5: to endorse you? Guys? What do you know about what's 138 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 5: coming in the next few hours. 139 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I really don't know a whole lot, right, 140 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: I mean, I've been making my pitch to RFK personally 141 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: and to his voters, but in public, right, I've never 142 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: actually spoken to RFK about dropping out of the race 143 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: or about getting behind the president. I certainly think that 144 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 3: if you look at the issue set that RFK cares about, right, So, 145 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: take medical freedom. This is a guy who's been I think, 146 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 3: a very important voice in America on why do we 147 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: kick a bunch of veterans out of the military, why 148 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 3: do we fire a bunch of nurses for refusing to 149 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 3: take the experimental COVID shot? But clearly Trump is more 150 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 3: the candidate of medical freedom. If you think about what 151 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: RFK has said about the Ukraine conflict and not turning 152 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: this thing into World War three. Clearly Trump is the 153 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: person and who's trying to prevent this thing from escalating. 154 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 3: So I think on the issue set, clearly Trump is 155 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 3: the guy. And I also think I mean, you guys know, 156 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: I grew up in a family of blue dogs, socially 157 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: conservative Democrats. They were Kennedy Democrats, right, and they feel 158 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: like the party has less than behind and that's why 159 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: they become Trump Republicans. So I think it could be 160 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: a very powerful testament to have an actual Kennedy, the 161 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 3: most famous Kennedy still living, get behind Donald Trump. I 162 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: certainly hope that he will. I have no reason to 163 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: mistrust the media reports about it. I think it is 164 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 3: going to happen. I don't know exactly how it's going 165 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: to happen, but there's just no room for Kennedy Democrats 166 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 3: and Kamala Harris's party anymore. So I hope they come 167 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: to our side. 168 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: Do you think it could be significant given what the 169 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: polls are telling everybody about these critical swing states? And 170 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: also if I could add to that, JD, what are 171 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: you seeing in terms of the ground game. I mean, 172 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: you know you're the number two on the Republican side here, 173 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: so you must have good visibility into how the GOP 174 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: is operating in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. 175 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: Again. You know, I think it's it could be really important, right, 176 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 3: I mean, we know the race is going to be tight, 177 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: we know the media is on the side of Kamala 178 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 3: and the Democrats, and we just know we live in 179 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: a divided countries. So a couple points here there could 180 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: mean the difference between Donald Trump where Kamala Herris getting 181 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 3: elected president. So yeah, it's really really important. On the 182 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: ground game side, I mean, what we're seeing is two things, right. 183 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: So first of all, our grassroots are super engaged. People 184 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: are very excited, and I think the energy here is 185 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: just you know, off the charts. But we're also doing 186 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 3: a lot of things that people don't realize to try 187 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 3: to ensure election integrity. The new R and C chair 188 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 3: has filed close to ninety lawsuits to try to protect 189 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: legally cast ballots but ensure that illegally cast ballots aren't counted. 190 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: So we've got a lot going on. Some of it 191 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: doesn't always collect headlines. We actually had two really big victories, 192 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: one in Arizona and one in Pennsylvania on the ballot 193 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: integrity front just in the last couple of days. So look, man, 194 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: I think it's going well. We're gonna have to run 195 00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: through the finish line. We're gonna have to do what 196 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: we can. But if you just look at the numbers 197 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: both we're seeing from the Democrats, the public numbers and 198 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: our own private numbers, what we're seeing is that Kamala 199 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 3: Harris got a bit of a sugar high. Towards the 200 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: end of July, it started to wear off a little bit. 201 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 3: I don't think their convention is going to stem that 202 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: at all. In fact, it might accelerate it. And so 203 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: we're in a good spot. We just have to do 204 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: what we need to do. 205 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 5: Talking to jd Vance, Okay, you're an Ohio State Buckeye fan. 206 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 5: College football starts this weekend. You just mentioned the Midwest. Honestly, 207 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 5: big ten fans in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, many of 208 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 5: them listening to us right now. Probably you're going to 209 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 5: decide this election. How do you think Ohio State's going 210 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 5: to do and how do you balance that out going 211 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 5: on the road and making your pitch to Wolverine Spartans, 212 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 5: penn State, Niitney Lion fans and Wisconsin Badger fans all 213 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 5: over Big ten Nation, because I think that's pretty much 214 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 5: where you're going to be campaigning all fall. Yeah. 215 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 3: I mean, I've already spent a ton of time in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. 216 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 3: I pretty much go there once a week and will 217 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 3: through I mean each state. I go once a week 218 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: and will through the end of the election. I joked 219 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: with the President when he first asked me to be 220 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 3: his CP. I was like, well, you know, hopefully we 221 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: don't lose Michigan by like nine hundred votes, because you're 222 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 3: going to regret it because it's probably just one thousand 223 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: pissed off Wolverine fans who would vote for a Buck guy. 224 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: But I think that most Michiganders are going to be 225 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: able to put sports rivalries aside and put the country first, 226 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: which is what, of course all of us believe is 227 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 3: the most important thing. I mean, look, I'm a lifelong 228 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: Buckeyes fan. I think we have just in terms of sheer, 229 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: raw talent, maybe the best Ohio state team I've seen 230 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: since you know, the great two thousand and three team 231 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 3: that upset the upset Miami the National Championship game. Like 232 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: we had. We are stacked this year, and I think 233 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 3: that if we if we take care of things, I mean, 234 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: we should be in the title game and we should 235 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: win it. But we'll see. Man. 236 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 5: By the way, that was passion. That was not pass 237 00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 5: interference in the in the championship game against Miami, You 238 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 5: guys can never complain about officiating for the rest of 239 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 5: your life as a fan. After getting that call. 240 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 3: There were there were two other calls that went against 241 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: us earlier in the game where we would have won 242 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: either one of them. So on balance, we won that game. 243 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: I'll go to my grave believe in that. 244 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: If I may, if I'm may way in here as 245 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: the no stradamis of all things JD. World, I think 246 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 2: my beloved Buckeyes will have the best year they have 247 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: had in many years. 248 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 4: Clay and JD. 249 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 5: Buck Buck. By the way, you should know this, JD. 250 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 5: Buck had never been to a college football game. I 251 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 5: took him to Alabama Ole Miss. He had an amazing time. 252 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 5: He couldn't believe that this was a world that he 253 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 5: had never experienced before. But now he tries to claim 254 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 5: that he's a fan of every team, and so he's 255 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 5: like he's always saying like role tide. He's going to 256 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 5: be saying, you know, I've always been held to the victors, 257 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 5: and also you know I've always been a big Ohio 258 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 5: State guy. I mean, really, the pandering is absurd on 259 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 5: this show. 260 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: Well, let's let's go to the Ohio State Michigan game, 261 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 3: assuming we want, because I bet I can get some 262 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 3: pretty sweet tickets as the VP elect, and we'll be 263 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 3: in a celebratory mood. And look, it's it's going to 264 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 3: be a big game this year. I think it's going 265 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: to determine ultimate seating in the College Football Playoff. I mean, 266 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 3: how both teams might actually make the playoff, and of 267 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 3: Michigan's you know sort of people aren't aren't putting them 268 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 3: as high this year, but you never know, because it's 269 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: always a good program. So we'll see, guys. I'm feeling 270 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 3: very good about the buck guys. I'm feeling very good 271 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 3: about the Bengals, and I'm feeling very good about this 272 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: presidential race. So maybe we can hit the trifecta here 273 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: and have the Buckeyes wins the CFP playoffs, the Mingles 274 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl, and Donald Trump could elected president. 275 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: That'd be a good year. 276 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: I have total faith you and Trump are gonna win. 277 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 2: You know we were talking to this before. Neither Clayton 278 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 2: nor I have ever been to the Naval Observatory, so 279 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: you may have to get some with someone on your 280 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: staff to give us a tour. 281 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 4: Okay, that's that's in your future too. 282 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 6: Welcome. 283 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 4: Thank you, Jenny Vance. 284 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 2: Everybody make sure jad we're cite anything you want to 285 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: tell people to go to, they can get involved. 286 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 4: Help out. 287 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 3: Most important thing, Donald J.

Something interesting that maybe 295 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 2: has been a little crowded out of the headlines by 296 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: the d NC falsehoods extravaganza. You have a politico and 297 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: a bunch of others reporting on this one. Oh, it's 298 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: a Reuter's interview with Trump, where Republican presidential candidate to 299 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: Trump when asked in this interview about Elon Musk, he said, quote, 300 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: he's a very smart guy. I certainly would give him 301 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: a cabinet position if he would do it. I certainly would. 302 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: He's a brilliant guy. And then Elon Musk responded on 303 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: social media on x the platform that he owned owns, 304 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: and wrote, I am willing to serve and Clay, more specifically, 305 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: the CEO of Twitter shared a picture of himself standing 306 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: behind a podium with the words Department of Government Efficiency 307 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: and doze doge etched into it, which is kind of 308 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: funny because he obviously also talked about doge coin years 309 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: ago the crypto tooken or crypto coin whatever, Clay, I 310 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: think Elon Musk, as the government efficiencies are under Trump 311 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: would be incredible. The only thing that would make me 312 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: bummed out about it is that he wouldn't be running 313 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: his other companies that are doing amazing things. 314 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 4: But we need some we need a shock to the bureaucracy. 315 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I want half of all federal employees fired. 316 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 5: I mean I do, and I don't think that if 317 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 5: you gave the second half fifty percent raises the people 318 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 5: that are actually working most the other half would care 319 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 5: about it. I mean, Elon's a great example because he 320 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 5: bought Twitter, fired seventy five percent of the employees, and 321 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 5: the site doesn't seem to be working any less efficiently 322 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 5: than it was before. In fact, on the flip side, 323 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 5: maybe better. And I bet a lot of you out 324 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 5: there listening to us right now, whether you have government 325 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 5: or private sector jobs, if you work hard at your job, 326 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 5: you look around at some of the knuckleheads that are 327 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 5: making similar salaries to you, you'd rather make more and 328 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 5: the company would probably be more efficient if you could 329 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 5: do more. At least half of the people in the 330 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 5: federal government could be fired. We wouldn't miss anything. I 331 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 5: would love if we could do it, and lower taxes 332 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 5: as a result. Be fabulous. 333 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and buck Sexton on the front lines of truth. 334 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 5: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton shows we are 335 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 5: joined by the woman who should get all of the 336 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 5: Pulitzers that were won by the New York Times and 337 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 5: the Washington Post for their Russia Eyes and instead they 338 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 5: should be rebranded Miranda Divine Awards if she wanted them 339 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 5: for everything that she has done in the New York 340 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 5: Post covering all of the lies of Joe Biden and 341 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 5: his family, joined now by Miranda Devine herself, Miranda as 342 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 5: all of this stuff is now getting thrown out there, 343 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 5: and you see every other media outlet beginning to cover in. 344 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 5: I read my eyes almost popped out of my head 345 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 5: an editorial in The New York Times over the weekend saying, oh, 346 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 5: Hunter Biden needs to be charged with a lot of 347 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 5: crimes for violating the Foreign Registry Lobbying Law FARA. And 348 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 5: you know they would would any of these stories ever 349 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 5: have come out at this point if Joe Biden were 350 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 5: still running Or is this just a sign that they're 351 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 5: done protecting him? How do you assess based on your reporting? 352 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the latter that they are done with 353 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 6: protecting him. They've protected him since the beginning of his candidacy. 354 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 6: They lied, They troduced the New York Post, they produced 355 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 6: Rudy Giuliani and the whistleblowers and everybody else who was 356 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 6: telling the truth about Joe Biden's corruption. James Comer, the 357 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 6: Oversight Committee chairman, has been completely pillaried in his hometown, 358 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 6: and they sent, you know, media operatives from Associated Press 359 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 6: and elsewhere just pretty much camped out there trying to 360 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 6: find dirt on him to no avail. So you know, 361 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 6: this has been a complete media protection campaign. Let alone 362 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 6: the CIA, the DOJ, the irs, who've all protected the Bidens. 363 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 6: But now that Joe Biden is no longer a candidate, 364 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 6: they're going to just seamlessly, as you saw with the 365 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 6: New York Times, just move on to normal reporting, as 366 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 6: if this is a normal story that's just suddenly emerged. 367 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: Miranda, I saw a tweet and I wanted to have 368 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 2: you break this down for us a little bit. 369 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 4: You're looking at the issue of. 370 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 2: This election and some of the let's just say, possible 371 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 2: pitfalls or fraud that could happen here. 372 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 4: This was in your tweet. 373 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: Alabama found over three thousand illegal aliens on their voter rolls. 374 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: What is happening in PA, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona will 375 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 2: never know because they're run by Democrats. Trump lost by 376 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 2: forty five thousand votes in a handful of states last time. 377 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: Biden Harris have led in twelve to eighteen million illegals 378 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 2: in their administration. They are giving them Social Security numbers. Okay, 379 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: there's a lot here. I mean, let's start with Alabama 380 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: finding over three thousand illegals on their voter rolls. Why 381 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: is a single illegal on the voter rules. 382 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 6: Well, I mean that's tens very good question, and it's 383 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 6: also something that we were told wasn't happening. We're still 384 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 6: being told by Democrats and their allied media that there's 385 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 6: no way. This is just a mega conspiracy theory that 386 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 6: illegal aliens are voting because it's illegal. So of course 387 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 6: they're not going to do it. I mean, these are 388 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 6: people whose very first act on coming into the United 389 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 6: States was to commit a crime, was to cross the 390 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 6: border illegally. So I don't think the fact that there's 391 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 6: a law saying it's illegal, that it is never prosecuted 392 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 6: or very rarely prosecuted, is going to dissuade them from 393 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 6: doing what democratic operatives are encouraging them to do. So 394 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 6: I started looking at this because actually, Maria Bartiroma just 395 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 6: texted me on the weekend and she said that a 396 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 6: friend of hers had sent her this really disturbing text about, 397 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 6: you know, trying to This was in Texas, trying to 398 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 6: get her sixteen year old son to get a driving 399 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 6: test at the local DMV in Fort Worth and they 400 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 6: were booked out. The months ahead, so she went to 401 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 6: various other DMVs and finally she just was fed up 402 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 6: and she's just got in the car and went to 403 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 6: her to one of these DMVs and found that there 404 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 6: was a huge queue of illegal aliens who were getting drivers' licenses. 405 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 6: They can get social Security numbers and drivers' licenses, And 406 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 6: then there were NGOs outside the DMBs with little tables 407 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 6: set up to help them register, encouraging them all to 408 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 6: register to vote. So if you are not allowed to vote, 409 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 6: why would they want to register them to vote. There's 410 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 6: a kind of disconnect there. And then the other piece 411 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 6: of the puzzle that you need to understand is that 412 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 6: there are only three states that require citizenship proof of 413 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 6: citizenship to vote, so really there are just no guardrails 414 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 6: also work. 415 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 5: Noting, as my sixteen year old told me last night 416 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 5: we were watching the DNC, they have extensive security apparatus 417 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 5: that requires you to present a ID in order to 418 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 5: get into the DNC. Right, you have to have a 419 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 5: photo ID extensively docus you're past in order to be 420 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 5: able to access the DNC itself, which is of course 421 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 5: very interesting. Miranda. I also saw this and it was 422 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 5: on the front page of New York Times. They have 423 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 5: accelerated the rate at which they are swearing in new 424 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 5: citizens to a I believe it was a fifteen year high. 425 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 5: They are trying to get as many people sworn in 426 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 5: as fast as they can the minute that they're being 427 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 5: sworn in. Left wing media, left wing voter advocacy groups 428 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 5: are there to make sure that everybody gets registered again. 429 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 4: It's on the. 430 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 5: Front page of the New York Times. They don't talk 431 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 5: about it for the immediate political ramifications. But isn't that 432 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 5: a sign of them pulling out all the stops to 433 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 5: get as many people as possible that they think is 434 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 5: going to be on their side in I mean, to 435 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 5: do a fifteen year high of citizenship of swearings in 436 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 5: this fall is pretty crazy. 437 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 6: Really, is rather a coincidence, isn't it? And it's just 438 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 6: so typical that, you know, federal government, which is so 439 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 6: incredibly incompetent at everything else, suddenly he manages to be 440 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 6: really good when it suits the powers that be, whether 441 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 6: it's collecting taxes or signing up people to vote and 442 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 6: or to become citizens new citizens so that they'll vote 443 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 6: for the Democrats. And you know, behind a lot of 444 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 6: really nefarious happenings in this country at the moment is 445 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 6: one man, Alexandra Mayorcus and he's of course the DHS secretary. 446 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 6: And when you look at censorship, you look at the 447 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 6: illegal alien invasion that he has ushered in and then 448 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 6: sort of secreted all these illegal migrants across the country 449 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 6: by flying them in, flying them from the border and 450 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 6: in fact from across the border to a community near you, 451 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 6: so that people don't know there's just how many millions 452 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 6: of illegals there are here. And then Mayorcis also is 453 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 6: in charge of the Secret Service. So really, whenever you 454 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 6: look at something that's going really badly awry in this country, 455 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 6: there's one man behind it very often. 456 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 2: Miranda, you put out again the estimate here for Biden's 457 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: border of twelve to eighteen million. 458 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 4: I'm just wondering if you if you could walk us through. 459 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 2: I think they admit by their own numbers to ten, right, 460 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: but give me your set, because first of all, whether 461 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 2: it's twelve or eighteen is jaw dropping. It's the most 462 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: we've ever seen that are permanent illegals, meaning they're not 463 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: trying to you know, people talk about the nineties, and 464 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: I've spoken to border Patrol about this. Some of the 465 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 2: numbers were guys who would actually go back and forth 466 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: to Mexico many times, and there were single adult males 467 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: who were coming to work and going back, coming to 468 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: work and going back. These are people that are planning 469 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 2: to stay forever. Well, that twelve to eighteen million estimate, 470 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 2: how do you you know what would mean we're at 471 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: the high end, what would mean we're at the low end? 472 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 6: Well, I mean even if there were only eight million, 473 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 6: it's still on absolute crisis. But the numbers are much 474 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 6: larger than what they're saying because they don't account to 475 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 6: the gotaways and the godways are just you know, often 476 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 6: their cartel, gang members, people with criminal records, you know, pedophiles, psychopaths, gangsters, murderers, terrorists. 477 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 6: We know that there have been dozens of terrorists, including 478 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 6: ISIS terrorists that have actually been apprehended, but that's if 479 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 6: you're a terrorist, you don't want to be apprehended. So 480 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 6: they know. Border Patrols has some idea about got aways, 481 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 6: and Bill Millusion from Fox News is very good on this, 482 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 6: just by footprints and infrared cameras and so on, but 483 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 6: no one really knows how many there are now that 484 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 6: the border is actually controlled by the cartels, and it's 485 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 6: so vast. I mean, the poor border patrol people are 486 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 6: held up babysitting and doing sort of bureaucracy rather than 487 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 6: actually stopping these people coming across the border. And you know, 488 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 6: everybody knows that Joe Biden unwound all of Donald Trump's 489 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 6: border protection measures on day one with these executive orders. 490 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 6: He could easily at any time in the last three 491 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 6: and a half years have written new executive orders unwinding 492 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 6: He's unwinding, and he hasn't done that. And instead they're 493 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 6: pretending they need Congress to act. And that, I think 494 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 6: is how Kamala Harris is trying to frame her culpability 495 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 6: as the borders are as some sort of virtue. Now 496 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 6: she's pretending that she's tougher on the border than Donald Trump. 497 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 6: The numbers think for themselves. 498 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 5: Miranda, you have covered politics for a while, and I 499 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 5: encourage you guys to go follow Miranda. I love all 500 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 5: the work she does with the New York Post. I 501 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,239 Speaker 5: also think New York Post is the best newspaper in 502 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 5: America in terms of being fun and write on most issues. Now, 503 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 5: I like the Wall Street Journal the most Miranda, But 504 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 5: you guys are number two on my favorites list. But 505 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 5: how unbelievable is Kamala Harris' ascension and the fact that 506 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,719 Speaker 5: even with this crazy ascension to the nomination, she has 507 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 5: not talked to anyone in media. Contextualize this based on 508 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 5: your experience. How extraordinary the times that we are in 509 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 5: right now as it pertains to what the Democrats are 510 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 5: trying to do. 511 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, it's a whole new playbook, I guess. Really, 512 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 6: Joe Biden began and the pandemic allowed him that latitude 513 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 6: to run a basement campaign and hide from the media, 514 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 6: and it worked so well they won the elect So 515 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 6: of course they're going to do it again. And instead 516 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 6: of having a senile candidate as Joe Biden obviously was 517 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 6: back in twenty nineteen to anyone who observed him in 518 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 6: action in Iowa and New Hampshire, they now have a 519 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 6: candidate who really is not good on her feet too. 520 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 6: She's not good at stringing together arguments, and she gets 521 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 6: very nervous and high pitched, and she's just terrible. And 522 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 6: so they've decided that they're going to hide her away 523 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 6: because they got away with it with Joe Biden, and 524 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 6: I think they'll get away with it now because the 525 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 6: media is not really complaining and the public doesn't really 526 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 6: know that this is out of the ordinary, And so 527 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 6: what you're seeing is images of Kamala Harris, who is attractive, 528 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 6: she looks dignified, she's well dressed, she's always smiling and 529 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 6: looking joyful. And the few words that she says, like 530 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 6: last night at the convention when she just came on 531 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 6: for a minute a half and I just spoke about 532 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 6: love and how you know, we should unite and there's 533 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 6: more that joins us together than divides us. People want 534 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 6: to hear that. People want to feel good. They don't 535 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 6: want to feel angry and aggrieved. And you know, I 536 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 6: do think that there is a danger that Kamala Harris, 537 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 6: as awful a candidate as she is, as repellent as 538 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 6: her policies are, I think that Republicans are banking too 539 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 6: much on the debate being the sort of eye opener 540 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 6: for the American voter. I think that potentially she will 541 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 6: get the questions because her best friend is a senior 542 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 6: executive at ABC, and the Democrats did this before with 543 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 6: Donna Brazil, and so she's quite good at the teleprompter, 544 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 6: she'll memorize some answers, and if she doesn't completely fail 545 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 6: because the expectations are now held so low for her, 546 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 6: then it'll be chalked up as a huge victory and 547 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 6: she'll that with no other scrutiny to the elections. 548 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 2: I agree with everything Randa is saying about that, which 549 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 2: is a little depressing, but I think she's right. Randa Devine, 550 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 2: New York Post columnist, laptop from how author Miranda always 551 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 2: appreciate you making the time for us. 552 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 4: Thank you so much. 553 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: Thanks clam Buck, Clayton Travis, and Buck Sexton on the 554 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: front line. 555 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 5: I went to a wedding Saturday, Buck, and you were 556 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 5: just telling me this detail off the air. Congratulations to 557 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 5: my cousin, Jennifer. She is an Alabama graduate and she 558 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 5: married an LSU gradual. She is role tiede and he 559 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 5: is a Bayou bingal And there were no fights, and 560 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 5: so maybe there is hope for our country after all. 561 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 5: Though people are pointing out that it was a July 562 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 5: wedding and not a fall wedding season, in which case 563 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 5: there may be more conflict coming. But I did think 564 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 5: this was interesting. By the way, one of the speeches. 565 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 5: You'll appreciate this. 566 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 4: Buck. 567 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 5: One of the speeches at the wedding. Guy said he 568 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 5: was suspicious immediately because his brother was telling him where 569 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 5: she went to high school. It's like, why are you 570 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 5: not saying where she went to college? And so he said, 571 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 5: I knew as an LSU guy then that I should 572 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 5: be suspicious that there might be something afoot here. He 573 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 5: didn't want to say that she went to Alabama. But 574 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 5: if they can get along, anybody can. But I saw this. 575 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 5: There are now brides charging people admission prices for their wedding. 576 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 5: You have to buy a ticket selling tickets. New York 577 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 5: Post reporting on this today. A new trend of midweek 578 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 5: destination wedding. So think about that. 579 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: Oh you have to go to take multiple you know 580 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 2: the Cayman Islands. Yeah, on Wednesday, because that's when we're 581 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 2: getting married, because it's cheaper than doing it on a weekend. 582 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 2: Brunch weddings. So you have a wedding in the morning 583 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 2: and then everyone has brunch. I guess at noon. This 584 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: is all just about venues and costs and everything. Or 585 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 2: the most controversial, which Clay started with selling tickets like 586 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: you're going to a Swift concert but really it's so 587 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 2: that you can see Tom and Sally get hitched. 588 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 5: Have you ever been to a wedding that you would 589 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 5: buy a ticket for. I know everybody has to give 590 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 5: I look, monetary donations. 591 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 2: Not involving immediate family, in which case you're obligated to go. No, 592 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 2: there's never been a wedding where I was like, you 593 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna buy a ticket to go to this. 594 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 2: In fact, I would do the I would pay to 595 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 2: not go to most of the weddings that I've been to. 596 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: I know that makes me sound like the wedding grinch, 597 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: but you know, I've just I've been to too many weddings. 598 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: I've been to like fifty weddings in my life, and 599 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 2: I think I needed to be really at ten of them. 600 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 5: I think, yeah, that's a good I think all of 601 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 5: the guys that I know, I might have to go 602 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 5: to some second weddings, but everybody that I know, everybody 603 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 5: that I like, has has already gotten married. I think 604 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 5: I'm on to the next iteration is going to be 605 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 5: basically kid weddings of but you know friends. 606 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: But I was, I say, you've got three boys, so 607 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: as they get older, the thing is you're not gonna 608 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 2: have to worry about actually, you know, the whole wedding aspect, because. 609 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 5: I am going to end up paying for all three 610 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 5: of those weddings. 611 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 4: Okay, well, at least you'll hire, you'll hire a wedding plan. 612 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 5: We know any of the details. But I saw what 613 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 5: weddings cost. Now outrageous, I could I like my jaw dropped. 614 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 5: I don't know how any parent out there can hardly 615 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 5: afford you. 616 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you all something now, especially for 617 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 2: those of you who are still planning a wedding. Or 618 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: I don't usually say do what I do, Well, maybe 619 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 2: I say that, But Carrie and I did big party 620 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 2: all of our friends. 621 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 5: In New York City. 622 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 2: Two hundred people at the party. Okay, big party. And 623 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: it was just a party with one toast. And you 624 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 2: can have that, and you can have that at you know, 625 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 2: your local dance hall or whatever you want, whatever you 626 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 2: want to do it. And then we had a church 627 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 2: wedding for immediate family only. It was about twenty twenty 628 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 2: five people, and then we went out to dinner. Yeah, 629 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 2: and we wouldn't change a thing about it. And if 630 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 2: I told you the cost, how low it is you'd 631 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 2: be like, Wow, you guys are thrifty. 632 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 4: But I didn't want to spend. In New York City, 633 00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 4: you can spend. 634 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 2: I didn't want to tell you guys on two hundred, 635 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 2: three hundred thousand dollars on a wedding in the blink 636 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: of an eye. So we did it at about the 637 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: national average level. We're so happy. So just do that, man, Clay. 638 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 2: Tell people throw a party for the engagement and then 639 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 2: just have a nice, small wedding. You don't need three 640 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 2: hundred people at your wedding. 641 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 5: I would even suggest eloping, taking the money that you 642 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 5: would have spent on the wedding and putting it towards 643 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 5: your first residency, but that's me being an old. 644 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 2: Well, Clay would use the money from the wedding to 645 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: start a media company, so that's actually that could 646 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 5: Really pay off, or you could lose it all.
