Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We are live in.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Milwaukee for what feels like it will be an incredibly
historic week. We are going to have constant guests coming by.
You never know who's going to be here. We appreciate
all of you. But Buck, let's dive right into it.
Major news for those of you have not heard, Eileen
Cannon has dismissed the South Florida classified documents case.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We will get into that.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Reports that Trump will announce his vice president tonight on
the first night of the RNC convention here. But what
everybody is talking about is Trump's surviving the assassination attempt
in Pennsylvania and doing it in the most badass way imaginable.
(00:53):
I cannot believe what we all saw on Saturday. I
was already I'm very excited to vote for Donald Trump
come November, but now my love, affection, and commitment to
the Trump candidacy has gone to a different level. Buck,
(01:13):
I bet the same is true for you and every
single person who is out there listening to us right now.
And maybe if you were a middle of the road person,
maybe you didn't necessarily buy into Trump. I bet even
those people are now all coming together. You couldn't have
scripted this from a Hollywood perspective because people would have said,
(01:36):
there's no way somebody could react that courageously to an
assassination attempt. The fist in the air, the American flag
billdoing in the background. It is I think the most
iconic thing that I've ever seen a president do in
my life.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's astonishing, Clay to be here right now at the
RNC because of the mix of emotions that I think
everyone feels right now. On the one hand, I go
back to those initial moments on Saturday when and you
and I spoke right as this was breaking Saturday afternoon.
(02:09):
There was about a three or four minute period because
I was just seeing things. I was at the gym.
You know, people are living their lives, seeing things unfold
in real time, and I thought, oh my god, we've
lost President Trump. That actually crossed my mind for about.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You called me almost immediately, yes.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And I said, I just I hadn't had a feeling
like that since watching as one of the one of
the planes went into the towers. The second plane went in.
I saw that in real time in nine to eleven.
That was the same level of oh, dear God, where
is the country going? And then again following it piece
(02:48):
by piece the videos. I wasn't watching the feed right,
so I was just seeing the media coverage and the
clips as it came out in real time to see
Donald Trump raise his fist and America to fight in
the midst of now what we know was an assassination
attempt that was a literal inch from taking President Trump's life.
(03:12):
That it is a near miracle. Perhaps it is just
a miracle. I leave that to each individual to determine
for themselves. It was so close to one of the
worst tragedies we have suffered as a country in memory,
and for Trump to take that moment, turn around and
show strength, show that he's a warrior, it still feels surreal.
(03:38):
There's still this sense of processing what happened there. And
you know, there's a lot we can talk about today
as well, about the massive security lapse. I mean, I
know you and I are both dealing with the breaking
news over the weekends. People have heard some of our
sense of this. I was on a Megan show, you
were on Fox or and Martha's show talking about these
things and astonishing lapse of security, one for which I
(04:01):
would hope there will be consequences, but I'm very doubtful.
There's still a lot of questions that that haven't been
even attempted to be answered. But here we stand to
bring it all back full circle. We're here at the RNC,
and it just feels like President Trump is in not
just the strongest position ever to win an election, which
(04:21):
he clearly is by sentiment and by the numbers, it
feels like President Trump, and we're already hearing about this,
is going to transcend even what he has been able
to accomplish politically in the past and give a speech
about true American greatness and uniting the country here at
the RNC that I think will be heard by far
(04:42):
more and I mean heard, internalized, and believed by far
more than just those who are the MAGA faithful, if
you will, That's what I see happening.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I think Trump's response to this has been far more
generous and far more welcoming than my mind, because in
the immediate aftermath of this attempt on his life, my
primary emotion was furious anger because this all people who
(05:12):
listen I said it, they needed to triple his.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Secret Service detail.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It was also inevitably predictable to me that with a
dementia adult president, with Trump having the lead, with Biden collapsing,
that they were going to try to take Trump out.
And so when I saw this happen, my immediate reaction was,
of course, and then to your point, to allow a
(05:38):
twenty year old to climb onto the friggin roof of
a white building and get within one hundred and twenty
yards of the president and take multiple shots at him.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
By the grace of God, he's still alive.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
But that dad is dead and there are two severely
injured people because of a comple all systems failure. Were
lucky Trump's alive, but we certainly have lost a life.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
This should have never been able to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, that's why the security lapse is even more unforgivable.
And again this brings me to that the mixed emotions.
There's the honestly the elation. It's a little bit like
in terms of the way we're reacting to the news.
Remember when when Sully yeah hid the plane, land of
the plane and people just couldn't believe it, and then
(06:29):
there was the processing afterwards of one hundred something people
could have died right then and there, I think because
also of Trump's bravado and courage. In the moment, we're
still thinking about an assassin's bullet pierced the presidential nominee
for the Republican Party and former president and likely future
president's ear on stage on National TV, and we were
(06:57):
close to a political future inches again, literal inches from
a political future that we do not even want to
consider as a nation. So I think, Clay, there's tremendous anger,
and there should be. There's tremendous rage. There's outrage at
the security lapse, and then there's also this feeling of
the near miss that the nation had, and Trump, I
(07:19):
think is elevating to this magnanimous position at least when
it comes to the outreach to the American people overall,
you're gonna hear. By the way, Joe Biden, and I
do not say this just as a consistent partisan here,
I truly believe in my core missed a massive moment.
Joe Biden, the president of the United States. When someone
(07:41):
takes a literal shot at your opponent and you go
on national TV, you express the warmth and solidarity of
not just somebody else in the political arena facing that
kind of political violence. But another American. Yeah, another dad,
another father, a husband who almost lost his life to
(08:03):
political terror, to this this maniac trying to take him out.
So I mean, we're gonna we're gonna unpack all this today.
There was so much over the weekend. The fact that
we're not even yet diving into the dismissal of one
of the indictments against Trump, which just happened today. I mean,
we'll get into it, but that's even a secondary story
to where we are right now, which is it feels
(08:25):
like Donald Trump is about to tell us what the
pathway forward is.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I mean, and that's not usually what you get at
an R and C.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Usually you expect it's going to be, you know, the platform,
and that this is bigger than a normal Republican or
Democrat national convention. This feels like some kind of a
national American reckoning that is going on here this week.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
When he walks out into the arena tonight, potentially certainly
on Thursday, I think it's going to be one of
the most electric receptions for a president of the United
States in the history of our lives. And to me,
the fact that we have arrived here where even left
(09:09):
wingers who are dyed in the wall anti Trump people
saw the way he responded to this assassination attempt, and
they thought to themselves, I guarantee you, even though that
many of them may not publicly admit it, they thought,
I'm proud to be an American based on the bravery
and curse.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Think about that buck, to.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Have an inch from dying, and for your first thought
to be to sell your secret Service agents. Wait, wait, wait,
and then to turn to the crowd, pump your fist
and say fight, fight fight. I mean I get goosebumps
right now. You can see it on my arms just
thinking about it, because it is so incredibly iconic. I mean,
(09:50):
I think that moment where the Secret Service agents are
around him has an Iwajima like feel. Already, it's on
the cover of Time magazine. I think it's the most
iconic photo that has been taken of an American president
in my life. And I think it's stirring a lot
of people to re examine their preconceived perceptions of Trump
(10:12):
if they were negative and saying, why did I think this?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
This guy is making.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Me recalibrate everything that I thought about him. And Biden
doesn't have the skill. I told you, we talked about this.
If he was actually a uniter in any way, he
had a golden opportunity to do two things, one that
would actually benefit him and to it would be the
right thing for the country. He should have dismissed and
pardoned every single charge against Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
The federal ones, for sure, yes, and called for a
dropping of the law fair that has obviously been used
against him, and actually politically and morally was the right decision.
He didn't do it, and he also then would have
been in quite a position later on. We all know
he's going to commuter pardon his son Hunter after his
looming additional prosecutions as well. There's a moment here where
(10:59):
the fact that the Democrats, and this is being but
this has been reported near time, CNN, Axios and all
the usual Democrat outlets are whispering behind closed doors, maybe
saying out loud more and more, this election is over.
That's Democrats, yes, after what just happened to don Trump. Now,
I want to be very clear, because I know we're
(11:21):
going to get a lot of reminders from all of you.
We're not saying it's over. We don't trust that the
Democrats are going to be on the up and up
in a whole range of ways. We're here at the RNC,
We're going to be talking to people who are looking
at the state ballot collection and voting integrity measures. We'll
be talking to people who are trying to get out
(11:41):
the vote. We understand we run this race until we
hit the tape, full stop, no question about it. Trump
certainly knows that we believe he's gonna announce his VP tonight.
But there is something even beyond the normal political melee
at work here. There's something bigger for the country. And
the fact that you're hearing Democrats saying it's all over
(12:04):
just goes to show you they've been telling everybody for
seven years Donald Trump is a threat to Now there's
there's a whole component we haven't even got into yet.
We will of the rhetoric, Clay and admit that just
the monstrous exaggerations about about Donald Trump. And I know
I'm gonna have some fun with this later, but it
really is true. It really is obvious that morning, Joe,
(12:28):
and that I swear to you, I turned it on
to watch it this morning. It was not on. It
cannot be on because the whole show is a propaganda
loop for Trump arrangement syndrome, and the NBC News brand
was worried about what would be said on MSNBC this morning.
This is proof positive. This shows you beyond any doubt
that they have been inciting the audience against Trump for
(12:51):
years and it's just intellectually dishonest and destructive to the
country and unsustainable. And I think there's a reckoning of
that for those who are not completely brainwashed, I do
think there has been a reckoning.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Your boy morning Joe wasn't even allowed on camera this morning. Yes, yeah,
I know you texted me this morning. I was like,
I don't know, Buck's going to be able to start
off his day. He's number one fan. We'll talk about
all that and more. Really, like we said, a sense
of I would say euphoria that is setting in among
many Republicans inside of Milwaukee, which has security the likes
(13:27):
of which we may have never seen before. By the way,
for those of you who are wondering what the scene
is like here, you have to go through a lot
of security to even be able to be sitting where
we are right now, and certainly that will be the
case in the arena later tonight as well, lots of
big guests all week long we are live. You can
see us on videoclayandbuck dot com. Hello for those of
(13:50):
you who are VIPs, lots of guests are going to
be here. It's going to be a heck of a week.

appreciate all those of you who are listening on that station,
either living in Wisconsin right now or potentially in town
(14:13):
for the convention going on as well and streaming us
and listening to us there. Look, I've got some chad
mode in front of me right now. I'm holding it
up for our VIPs out there. I don't know that
anyone's ever shown a higher level of testosterone than Donald
Trump reacting to somebody trying to shoot him by standing up,
pumping his fist and saying fight, fight, Fight. So I
(14:35):
don't think that Trump needs chad mode. I don't think
that Trump needs any additional testosterone. I think he answered
all the questions out there. There are a lot of
Democrats who need a lot of testosterone.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (14:45):

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We have confirmation that
tonight the VP is going to be announced by Trump.
That was reported by Brett behar Over at Fox News,
so we will know tonight and Clay certain somebody is
(16:25):
top of the betting markets right now.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I'm hearing a lot of whispers of JD.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Vans. Sounds like somebody we both know who has been
saying it will be Jdvans for about six months now.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think I'm gonna lose two steak bets this week
because I think they're gonna throw Biden to the wolves
because they know he's gonna get smoked, and I think
I'm gonna have to buy a steak over that. But
also this one I think you deserve immense credit for
because when you predicted JD. Vance, he was very far
down the list eighth. Yes, he was waging way down.
So if he is the guy you could have if
(16:56):
you had listened to Buck, you could have gotten jd
vance at like ten or twelve, the one when he
started saying that he thought it was going to be
jd vance.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So do we have the audio?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I think of the announcement they just put in Brett Baer,
Bill him or Fox News saying Hey, that's coming down tonight. Oh,
we'll play it when we come back. We do have
that breaking news again on Fox News. I believe it's
cut twenty four. They just texted me, So have that
(17:25):
ready when we come back, we'll play it for you.
But in addition to all the other things that are
going on, I mean, it's Monday, and it feels like
we've had like eight days worth of news already, even
as we just sit here on Monday and get ready
for that.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And I know we already have a lot of callers,
a lot of questions coming in about the state of
the investigation into the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. We
will do an in depth analysis of that today on
the show as well. We've just got a lot of
stories coming together all at once here. But we are
following that very closely and have a lot for you
on it. But look, if you had a million dollars
in the bank of two thousand and nine today, it
(17:59):
would about seven hundred grand worth of buying power. That's
what inflation and out of control government spending does. The
FED erodes your savings. Now, Look, if you put that
million dollars in gold, it will be worth twice that
and then some in terms of purchasing power. Look, how
you protect the value of the dollars in your savings
account from inflation is up to you, and investing some
(18:20):
portion of your savings in gold is a smart way
to protect the value of your savings account. Gold has
become easy to access, easy to own, whether you want
it in your savings account your four oh one k

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Clay Travis buck Sexton show we are live from Milwaukee
Radio Row inside of the secure, securitized footprint, which is
actually pretty difficult to get in.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Like, it's not easy to get in here.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
It took us at least twenty five minutes to walk
from the hotel through security. Yeah, it was a very
fast moving having flashbacks to the Green Zone in Baghdad. Here,
it's definitely a highly secure inner perimeter. There also were
a lot of people that it appeared had never been
through security before. Because the number of people who just
totally panic when they actually have to go through a
(19:30):
metal detector. It never ceases to amaze me at the airport,
but I would think the media would be like, Okay,
I understand, it was one hundred and eighty degrees, it
felt like baking sunshine, and some of these people were
reacting like the metal detecture before.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
It reminds me of the people that are in a
long coffee line and they get to the front of
the coffee line and they decide that's when they want
to read the menu for the lavender latte or whatever
it's not good, or you're the ice cream person and
you decide there's a huge line. You're like, you have
to have ten different flavor tasting of course. Yes, of course,
speaking of.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Flavor tasting, has been a lot of flavor tasting going
on for Trump of who exactly the VP would be.
That is an incredible transition. And here is Fox News.
This is Brett Bayer and Bill Himmer announcing on the
air just a little while ago that Trump will announce
the VP tonight at the Republican National Convention.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Listen, he did.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Confirm that he's going to make a VP choice today
and he said, Brett, there's other surprises to come, So
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, So yeah, if he's going to make his choice today,
will we hear it today?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Did he answer that, Yes, Yeah, We're going to get
the VP today.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
So big news tonight.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
In theory, there are reports that Buck's prediction jd Vance
has left his home with a huge motorcade. That would
suggest potentially jd Vance is going to be the pick.
He is now the gambling favorite by a substantial amount.
And so as we break all of this down, that
is going to be a seismic part of this.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Buck, think about this. We got assassination attempt.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Saturday VP pick, Monday speech on Thursday to accept the nomination.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
This is crazy and another news story that we have
mentioned and done a little bit of analysis on, and
we'll get back to what happened over the weekend. I
think more in the next hour. But if this wasn't
all those other things going on, the fact that a judge,
Eileen Cannon, Clay's favorite judge, Eileen Cannon, dismissed the mar
(21:37):
Lago Documents case against Trump in its entirety, saying Jack
Smith is not a legitimate prosecutor essentially based on the
appointments necessary by the President or Congress. That's a huge win.
That is a huge win. The mar Lago Documents case
was again, all of these cases are ridiculous. That was
(21:59):
the where process issues may have been the most concerning.
If you're going to take one case where okay, well,
you know, how did they react to the subpoena or
whatever it's gone for right now? Now they're going to
appeal it, obviously, But Clay, another massive win for Donald
Trump in a string of just astonishing situations that are
(22:23):
putting him. I can't even believe the numbers that we're
seeing out of swing states right now about how meaning
I get why they're so far ahead for Trump, but
you have a hard time thinking he's really up double
digits in a lot of these swing states.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Now, I give credit to Eileen Cannon. You don't drop
a ninety seven page opinion without having spent a long
time writing it. You know it's going to be appealed,
so there are a ton of details that you have
to manage. Every little citation needs to be perfect. I'm
sure they've been vetting this for a long time. The
(22:56):
fact that she dropped this today, I would tie it
back in with the conversations that we had over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I put it out on social media.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Joe Biden had an opportunity to dismiss this case and
get all the credit for it, both the morally right
thing to do and the politically right thing to do
if he's trying to actually unite the nation. Instead, he
did two addresses yesterday from the White House. Both of
them fell flat, and then Eileen Cannon correctly just came
(23:26):
over the top rope and absolutely flattened Jack Smith and
the Department of Justice cases buck lawfair. This has the
potential right now, as we're sitting here about one hundred
and ten days out to be the most devastating own
goal that any American political party has ever delivered on
itself when you watch all this collapsing.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
And it also factors into a clear I think you
might have say, heroes arc for Trump of multiple impeachments,
for criminal indictments, first former president and first presidential candidate
to have ever faced for any indictment, a conviction of
(24:07):
a preposterous felony case in New York City, an attempted assassination,
and the Democrats are saying we've already lost, you know,
when you think about what he has been through and
the unbelievable resilience. I don't like to say things about
politicians like it seems superhuman, but it does. There is
(24:29):
something you could say, He's just the luckiest guy in
the world. And you could say that even without what
just happened over the weekend. Clay, We're gonna talk about it.
A bullet a five to five six grazed his ear. Yeah,
this is you know, They're just there's something going on,
and the American people, by I think a solid majority
(24:51):
now feel it where Trump has become this unstoppable political
force and we've been saying, how are they going to
get it. What's going to happen with this lawfare in
this instance, the lawfair you just raised this. We've been
saying it's a possibility on the show. They may have
committed the most absurd, self destructive series of political blunders
(25:17):
any of us will have ever seen. And we're not
even at the election yet. Yeah, this is all you know,
pre election stuff. This is the campaign. And you also
you know you have the lawfair they've tried against Trump,
I think because it's been going on in a way. Okay,
they saved all four cases of the election year. Yes,
(25:38):
that's unforgivable, unpardonable. They clearly did that for political reasons.
And now you also have this attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
You can't separate all these things. Insofar as they've created
this narrative that he's going to end the country. That
has been what Democrats have been saying. We need to
(25:58):
lock him up in prison. This is what the mainstream
Democrat party has been saying for years. And now they're saying,
we probably should get used to a second term of Trump.
We can't, Joe Biden can't get this done. And but
it's so bad that I'm actually more confident. While I've
been one hundred percent confident the whole time, but I'm
more confident than I've been in a while. That, of
(26:19):
course it has to be Joe Biden. Now, you would
have to want to light your own political career on
fire to be a Democrat to step into the way
of the Trump train. Right now, I think what they're
going to do is in the near future, there's go
And by the way, Axios has a story up where
they quote someone prominent in the Democrat Party anonymously basically saying,
(26:41):
we're all resigned to the fact that Trump's gonna win.
The money is going to start getting redirected to Senate
races and congressional races.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Now, we want all of you to go vote. We
want you to go vote early, We want you to
bank your ballots. Understand all of that. You all listening
to us, The millions of you out there will decide
the next president of the United States. But Democrat full
fledged panic has set in. And that's before we get
the VP bounce. That's before we get what I think
(27:10):
could be Trump says he's completely rewriting his Thursday address.
This has the potential to be an unbelievably iconic address
to accept the nomination, where Trump can be statesmanlike and
say I'm bringing the nation completely together. Now he doesn't
even have to worry about attacking Biden. He's so far
above him.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Right now, we're going to be joined by Senator Roger
Marshall coming up here, which we're looking forward to, and
that'll be a good discussion in just a couple of moments.
Because we're at the RNC, We've got a lot of
people that we really want to talk to who will
be coming by live in person to hangout on Clay
and Buck. But you know, when the CEO of an
incredibly successful financial research company intentionally publicly reduces his salary
(27:53):
to a dollar a year from Big Bucks, there's got
to be a reason for it, right, Why would he
do it? Well, his name is Porters Stansburg. He's a
friend of mine. I've known him for a decade. He's
an incredibly successful economist, businessman, and entrepreneur. But he sees
a new form of money in America and it's making
some people very rich. You don't need to be a
CEO to obtain this new kind of compensation. Thousands of
(28:14):
Americans in different full time roles have already started to
be compensated in this new form. It's detailed in a
new video you'll find online at a website that's easy
to watch. Every American is legally entitled to use this
not so well known currency, but if you know much
about it, Porter's hoping to change that. It's critical you
understand how America's new money works. Check out Porter's latest
(28:35):
detailed presentation online at secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
You know him as conservative radio hosts, now just get
to know them as guys on this Sunday Hang podcast
with Clay and Fuck. Find it in their podcast feed
on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Bach. We are
joined my Senator Roger Marshall from the great state of Kansas.
Senator here in person with us. You look professional, which
is good because you're a senator. We're radio host, so
this is how we roll. Sorry about that, but let's
just first start with day one r n C here
you are. It feels different, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Pick up and have a dodge pickup and usually have
a twelve gage shotgun in the back for hunting purposes
as well.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
How's it feel?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
I've never seen the Republican Party so unified, and just
my first convention, I think that many of us feel
like we're making history. That President Trump was divinely protected
Saturday night, and you know what's next for this country.
I've never seen so many people just uniting, people that
were on the fence saying I'm in, I'm all in.
What a fighter we have in Donald Trump. So I'm
(29:54):
just wanted to be here.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
As we speaking of Donald Trump. As you were about
to come on the set with us. You're standing talking
to me. Your phone rings it's President Trump. You literally
were talking to him three or four minutes ago. What
can you tell us about that call or is it
top secret? Well, I think most importantly is that he's
doing good. He's I think he's.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Very, very grateful and certainly realizes this divine providence as
spirit his life and that he has a special purpose
out here. He reminds me of King David from the
Old Testament that God, that he has a heart for
God and he wants to do the right thing. And
of course I'm not going to talk about the vice
president thing, but maybe that came.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Up maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Do you know, even if you won't tell us, do
you know who the vice presidential nominee is?
Speaker 5 (30:39):
I do not know for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I like I'm the one with an interrogation background, but
Clay can't wait.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Sitting right here on the set. Who knows?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
So what are you hoping this week accomplishes for the party?
I mean, how do you expect the messaging to go?
Because you know, look, let's be honest, given what just happened,
and you mentioned if I'm I said to you, I'm
not somebody who throws the term miracle around very much.
But I have enough familiarity with firearms and tactical situations
to know that it was a miracle that Donald Trump
was okay. Still a massive security lapse and a failure,
(31:11):
but it is a miracle that he's fine. Given that
people could see this as an opportunity to be very angry,
very partisan, or an opportunity to rise above and bring
the country together, how do you think the president or
I should say the former president and hopefully future president
can do that. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
So unity, unity, Unity, I think that is the message
that we're going to be talking about here. And I
think the writings on the wall we walk in here,
the platforms done. It's simple, twenty simple bullet points. We
focus on the policies on securing the border a big
removing a lot of illegal aliens out of the country.
We focus on the economy. How do we get rid
(31:53):
of inflation and will we do that through driving down
cutting regulations and cutting taxes and balancing the budget. So
I think there's a message of unity here Republicans, You'll
like it or not. We all do have an opinion
and it's hard for us to come together, and I
think America sees that. But I really do feel that
this week you're going to see a message of unity
out of the entire party. It's great to see some
(32:14):
other people coming on board to speak tonight as well,
so we're all in.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
You are one of the first people to raise issues
about Joe Biden's mental and physical decline or dies issues.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
You are a physician.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
What do you see observing him and is it in
your mind reckless to be arguing as Democrats are that
he could serve for another four and a half years
as president of the United States based on what you observe.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
Yeah, heaven forbid if Joe Biden gets re elected or
truly a vote for Kamala Harris. You don't have to
be a doctor to see this huge decline that we're seeing.
And once you kind of fall off that cliff, it's
really a rapid dissent. I think that we're seeing it
in his speech, but where I really see it as
his physical abilities. Look a person with Parkinson's that what
they do is they this real shuffle when they walk.
(33:02):
And even today now Joe Biden is walking when his
toes at the ground first rather than his heels at
the ground first, So that's a big difference from last year.
He's holding his arms even closer to himself, so he's
not there's not much movement in his arms. He has
Brady kinesia, very slow movements and then he freezes. Right.
We don't know what his cognitive function is like, but
(33:23):
the onus is upon him. He could prove that to us.
I think we've seen from his debate performances, even even
from his press conferences since then, that there's a huge
cognitive laps going on.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Hey, doc, what should the GOP do about healthcare?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Going for I'm just gonna give you a simple one,
you know what I mean, But go ahead, sports teams
in a few minutes. But for now, how do we
fix that?
Speaker 5 (33:42):
Well, so you want to talk about the chief chance
of repeating? No, really, So I came to Congress so
I'm not only a physician. I helped front a hospital.
I've overseen health departments. Anything that promotes transparency, innovation, and
consumerism will drive down the cost of healthcare. It's the
cost of healthcare that's the problem. Most people like their doctor,
they like theirs. It's so anything we can do to
make health care more transparent tromote innovation. If you want
(34:04):
me to say Medicare, I need a drug for Alzheimer's,
that type of thing. And then consumerism is letting patients
be consumers again. Right now, when I would see a
patient say look, you need a surgery, the first thing
they asked me does Medicare cover this? Does my insurance
cover it? If it does, great, But there was never
a thought about well how much is it going to cost?
So we need to make patients consumers again, would love
to come back and talk about prescription drug prices and
(34:27):
the impact that pharmacy benefit managers have on that three
of them controlling about ninety percent of the industry and
they take fifty cents of every dollar.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Can Trump fix it? If he has unified government? Can
Trump make big strides to do more so that we
actually see healthcare costs going down? This used to be is,
you know, the primary political issue. Then Joe Biden decided
to blow up the whole border and make it so that,
you know, ten million legals have come in, so that's
gone to the front. But healthcare is still a big deal.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
So, first of all, President Trump did some things to
fix it. One thing he did he issued in an
executive order that hospitals had to be more transparent with
their prices and their costs, something that I asked him
to do.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
So I think the.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Answer is yes, it won't be easy. Is this a
four or five trillion dollar industry. They have an incredible lobby.
It's part of that swamp in DC. I'm not sure
which is bigger, the Department of Defense people lobby them
or the healthcare So it is a lot of dollars
going by.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Last question for you, do you expect to see the
vice president introduced tonight and what would you like to
hear from the vice presidential candidate if we do get
that introduction tonight.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Right, I expect an announcement any moment now, any within
the next few hours. I expect him to be he
to be introduced this evening. I want to hear a
message of unity. At the same time, I think I
go back and think of other vice president candidates we
had had out there, is that they do need to
defend the president's policies and they need to be the
face of taking on some of those tough, tough issue
(35:49):
issues out there as well. I wanted to be someone
that truly embraces what we're here from Americans, that they
want to secure the border, they want the price of
gas and groceries to from them.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
And just real quick, your Kansas City chiefs will win
again next next year? Is that what's going to happen?
Or I should say, well, yeah, next year if you January,
is that when the super Bowl happens?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Close February but close.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Yeah, you know, we just introduced Mitch Holtis as the
Kansad of the Year at at our big society meeting,
he's all in. He thinks that he sees that special motivation.
And you know what he said. The secret sauce was
the great players he's ever met are humble, and he
sees that humbleness in Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and
Coach Reed as well.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
I think that about radio host but doesn't agree.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Humbleness, humbleness, Senator, thank you for.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Giving us the time.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I noticed, by the way, I'm not the CIA guy,
but you said he when the vice president gets introduced,
which makes me.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Maybe you do know who's coming. Thank you, sir, Thank
you everybody.
Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We are live in.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Milwaukee for what feels like it will be an incredibly
historic week. We are going to have constant guests coming by.
You never know who's going to be here. We appreciate
all of you. But Buck, let's dive right into it.
Major news for those of you have not heard, Eileen
Cannon has dismissed the South Florida classified documents case.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We will get into that.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Reports that Trump will announce his vice president tonight on
the first night of the RNC convention here. But what
everybody is talking about is Trump's surviving the assassination attempt
in Pennsylvania and doing it in the most badass way imaginable.
(00:53):
I cannot believe what we all saw on Saturday. I
was already I'm very excited to vote for Donald Trump
come November, but now my love, affection, and commitment to
the Trump candidacy has gone to a different level. Buck,
(01:13):
I bet the same is true for you and every
single person who is out there listening to us right now.
And maybe if you were a middle of the road person,
maybe you didn't necessarily buy into Trump. I bet even
those people are now all coming together. You couldn't have
scripted this from a Hollywood perspective because people would have said,
(01:36):
there's no way somebody could react that courageously to an
assassination attempt. The fist in the air, the American flag
billdoing in the background. It is I think the most
iconic thing that I've ever seen a president do in
my life.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's astonishing, Clay to be here right now at the
RNC because of the mix of emotions that I think
everyone feels right now. On the one hand, I go
back to those initial moments on Saturday when and you
and I spoke right as this was breaking Saturday afternoon.
(02:09):
There was about a three or four minute period because
I was just seeing things. I was at the gym.
You know, people are living their lives, seeing things unfold
in real time, and I thought, oh my god, we've
lost President Trump. That actually crossed my mind for about.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You called me almost immediately, yes.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And I said, I just I hadn't had a feeling
like that since watching as one of the one of
the planes went into the towers. The second plane went in.
I saw that in real time in nine to eleven.
That was the same level of oh, dear God, where
is the country going? And then again following it piece
(02:48):
by piece the videos. I wasn't watching the feed right,
so I was just seeing the media coverage and the
clips as it came out in real time to see
Donald Trump raise his fist and America to fight in
the midst of now what we know was an assassination
attempt that was a literal inch from taking President Trump's life.
(03:12):
That it is a near miracle. Perhaps it is just
a miracle. I leave that to each individual to determine
for themselves. It was so close to one of the
worst tragedies we have suffered as a country in memory,
and for Trump to take that moment, turn around and
show strength, show that he's a warrior, it still feels surreal.
(03:38):
There's still this sense of processing what happened there. And
you know, there's a lot we can talk about today
as well, about the massive security lapse. I mean, I
know you and I are both dealing with the breaking
news over the weekends. People have heard some of our
sense of this. I was on a Megan show, you
were on Fox or and Martha's show talking about these
things and astonishing lapse of security, one for which I
(04:01):
would hope there will be consequences, but I'm very doubtful.
There's still a lot of questions that that haven't been
even attempted to be answered. But here we stand to
bring it all back full circle. We're here at the RNC,
and it just feels like President Trump is in not
just the strongest position ever to win an election, which
(04:21):
he clearly is by sentiment and by the numbers, it
feels like President Trump, and we're already hearing about this,
is going to transcend even what he has been able
to accomplish politically in the past and give a speech
about true American greatness and uniting the country here at
the RNC that I think will be heard by far
(04:42):
more and I mean heard, internalized, and believed by far
more than just those who are the MAGA faithful, if
you will, That's what I see happening.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I think Trump's response to this has been far more
generous and far more welcoming than my mind, because in
the immediate aftermath of this attempt on his life, my
primary emotion was furious anger because this all people who
(05:12):
listen I said it, they needed to triple his.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Secret Service detail.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It was also inevitably predictable to me that with a
dementia adult president, with Trump having the lead, with Biden collapsing,
that they were going to try to take Trump out.
And so when I saw this happen, my immediate reaction was,
of course, and then to your point, to allow a
(05:38):
twenty year old to climb onto the friggin roof of
a white building and get within one hundred and twenty
yards of the president and take multiple shots at him.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
By the grace of God, he's still alive.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
But that dad is dead and there are two severely
injured people because of a comple all systems failure. Were
lucky Trump's alive, but we certainly have lost a life.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
This should have never been able to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, that's why the security lapse is even more unforgivable.
And again this brings me to that the mixed emotions.
There's the honestly the elation. It's a little bit like
in terms of the way we're reacting to the news.
Remember when when Sully yeah hid the plane, land of
the plane and people just couldn't believe it, and then
(06:29):
there was the processing afterwards of one hundred something people
could have died right then and there, I think because
also of Trump's bravado and courage. In the moment, we're
still thinking about an assassin's bullet pierced the presidential nominee
for the Republican Party and former president and likely future
president's ear on stage on National TV, and we were
(06:57):
close to a political future inches again, literal inches from
a political future that we do not even want to
consider as a nation. So I think, Clay, there's tremendous anger,
and there should be. There's tremendous rage. There's outrage at
the security lapse, and then there's also this feeling of
the near miss that the nation had, and Trump, I
(07:19):
think is elevating to this magnanimous position at least when
it comes to the outreach to the American people overall,
you're gonna hear. By the way, Joe Biden, and I
do not say this just as a consistent partisan here,
I truly believe in my core missed a massive moment.
Joe Biden, the president of the United States. When someone
(07:41):
takes a literal shot at your opponent and you go
on national TV, you express the warmth and solidarity of
not just somebody else in the political arena facing that
kind of political violence. But another American. Yeah, another dad,
another father, a husband who almost lost his life to
(08:03):
political terror, to this this maniac trying to take him out.
So I mean, we're gonna we're gonna unpack all this today.
There was so much over the weekend. The fact that
we're not even yet diving into the dismissal of one
of the indictments against Trump, which just happened today. I mean,
we'll get into it, but that's even a secondary story
to where we are right now, which is it feels
(08:25):
like Donald Trump is about to tell us what the
pathway forward is.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I mean, and that's not usually what you get at
an R and C.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Usually you expect it's going to be, you know, the platform,
and that this is bigger than a normal Republican or
Democrat national convention. This feels like some kind of a
national American reckoning that is going on here this week.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
When he walks out into the arena tonight, potentially certainly
on Thursday, I think it's going to be one of
the most electric receptions for a president of the United
States in the history of our lives. And to me,
the fact that we have arrived here where even left
(09:09):
wingers who are dyed in the wall anti Trump people
saw the way he responded to this assassination attempt, and
they thought to themselves, I guarantee you, even though that
many of them may not publicly admit it, they thought,
I'm proud to be an American based on the bravery
and curse.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Think about that buck, to.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Have an inch from dying, and for your first thought
to be to sell your secret Service agents. Wait, wait, wait,
and then to turn to the crowd, pump your fist
and say fight, fight fight. I mean I get goosebumps
right now. You can see it on my arms just
thinking about it, because it is so incredibly iconic. I mean,
(09:50):
I think that moment where the Secret Service agents are
around him has an Iwajima like feel. Already, it's on
the cover of Time magazine. I think it's the most
iconic photo that has been taken of an American president
in my life. And I think it's stirring a lot
of people to re examine their preconceived perceptions of Trump
(10:12):
if they were negative and saying, why did I think this?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
This guy is making.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Me recalibrate everything that I thought about him. And Biden
doesn't have the skill. I told you, we talked about this.
If he was actually a uniter in any way, he
had a golden opportunity to do two things, one that
would actually benefit him and to it would be the
right thing for the country. He should have dismissed and
pardoned every single charge against Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
The federal ones, for sure, yes, and called for a
dropping of the law fair that has obviously been used
against him, and actually politically and morally was the right decision.
He didn't do it, and he also then would have
been in quite a position later on. We all know
he's going to commuter pardon his son Hunter after his
looming additional prosecutions as well. There's a moment here where
(10:59):
the fact that the Democrats, and this is being but
this has been reported near time, CNN, Axios and all
the usual Democrat outlets are whispering behind closed doors, maybe
saying out loud more and more, this election is over.
That's Democrats, yes, after what just happened to don Trump. Now,
I want to be very clear, because I know we're
(11:21):
going to get a lot of reminders from all of you.
We're not saying it's over. We don't trust that the
Democrats are going to be on the up and up
in a whole range of ways. We're here at the RNC,
We're going to be talking to people who are looking
at the state ballot collection and voting integrity measures. We'll
be talking to people who are trying to get out
(11:41):
the vote. We understand we run this race until we
hit the tape, full stop, no question about it. Trump
certainly knows that we believe he's gonna announce his VP tonight.
But there is something even beyond the normal political melee
at work here. There's something bigger for the country. And
the fact that you're hearing Democrats saying it's all over
(12:04):
just goes to show you they've been telling everybody for
seven years Donald Trump is a threat to Now there's
there's a whole component we haven't even got into yet.
We will of the rhetoric, Clay and admit that just
the monstrous exaggerations about about Donald Trump. And I know
I'm gonna have some fun with this later, but it
really is true. It really is obvious that morning, Joe,
(12:28):
and that I swear to you, I turned it on
to watch it this morning. It was not on. It
cannot be on because the whole show is a propaganda
loop for Trump arrangement syndrome, and the NBC News brand
was worried about what would be said on MSNBC this morning.
This is proof positive. This shows you beyond any doubt
that they have been inciting the audience against Trump for
(12:51):
years and it's just intellectually dishonest and destructive to the
country and unsustainable. And I think there's a reckoning of
that for those who are not completely brainwashed, I do
think there has been a reckoning.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Your boy morning Joe wasn't even allowed on camera this morning. Yes, yeah,
I know you texted me this morning. I was like,
I don't know, Buck's going to be able to start
off his day. He's number one fan. We'll talk about
all that and more. Really, like we said, a sense
of I would say euphoria that is setting in among
many Republicans inside of Milwaukee, which has security the likes
(13:27):
of which we may have never seen before. By the way,
for those of you who are wondering what the scene
is like here, you have to go through a lot
of security to even be able to be sitting where
we are right now, and certainly that will be the
case in the arena later tonight as well, lots of
big guests all week long we are live. You can
see us on videoclayandbuck dot com. Hello for those of
(13:50):
you who are VIPs, lots of guests are going to
be here. It's going to be a heck of a week.
We appreciate all of you out there listening. We had
a good night last night, met a lot of our
listeners in the Milwaukee area, where we're happy to be
the number one show in the entire city. And we
appreciate all those of you who are listening on that station,
either living in Wisconsin right now or potentially in town
(14:13):
for the convention going on as well and streaming us
and listening to us there. Look, I've got some chad
mode in front of me right now. I'm holding it
up for our VIPs out there. I don't know that
anyone's ever shown a higher level of testosterone than Donald
Trump reacting to somebody trying to shoot him by standing up,
pumping his fist and saying fight, fight, Fight. So I
(14:35):
don't think that Trump needs chad mode. I don't think
that Trump needs any additional testosterone. I think he answered
all the questions out there. There are a lot of
Democrats who need a lot of testosterone.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (14:45):

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We have confirmation that
tonight the VP is going to be announced by Trump.
That was reported by Brett behar Over at Fox News,
so we will know tonight and Clay certain somebody is
(16:25):
top of the betting markets right now.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I'm hearing a lot of whispers of JD.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Vans. Sounds like somebody we both know who has been
saying it will be Jdvans for about six months now.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think I'm gonna lose two steak bets this week
because I think they're gonna throw Biden to the wolves
because they know he's gonna get smoked, and I think
I'm gonna have to buy a steak over that. But
also this one I think you deserve immense credit for
because when you predicted JD. Vance, he was very far
down the list eighth. Yes, he was waging way down.
So if he is the guy you could have if
(16:56):
you had listened to Buck, you could have gotten jd
vance at like ten or twelve, the one when he
started saying that he thought it was going to be
jd vance.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So do we have the audio?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I think of the announcement they just put in Brett Baer,
Bill him or Fox News saying Hey, that's coming down tonight. Oh,
we'll play it when we come back. We do have
that breaking news again on Fox News. I believe it's
cut twenty four. They just texted me, So have that
(17:25):
ready when we come back, we'll play it for you.
But in addition to all the other things that are
going on, I mean, it's Monday, and it feels like
we've had like eight days worth of news already, even
as we just sit here on Monday and get ready
for that.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And I know we already have a lot of callers,
a lot of questions coming in about the state of
the investigation into the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. We
will do an in depth analysis of that today on
the show as well. We've just got a lot of
stories coming together all at once here. But we are
following that very closely and have a lot for you
on it. But look, if you had a million dollars
in the bank of two thousand and nine today, it
(17:59):
would about seven hundred grand worth of buying power. That's
what inflation and out of control government spending does. The
FED erodes your savings. Now, Look, if you put that
million dollars in gold, it will be worth twice that
and then some in terms of purchasing power. Look, how
you protect the value of the dollars in your savings
account from inflation is up to you, and investing some
(18:20):
portion of your savings in gold is a smart way
to protect the value of your savings account. Gold has
become easy to access, easy to own, whether you want
it in your savings account your four oh one k

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Clay Travis buck Sexton show we are live from Milwaukee
Radio Row inside of the secure, securitized footprint, which is
actually pretty difficult to get in.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Like, it's not easy to get in here.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
It took us at least twenty five minutes to walk
from the hotel through security. Yeah, it was a very
fast moving having flashbacks to the Green Zone in Baghdad. Here,
it's definitely a highly secure inner perimeter. There also were
a lot of people that it appeared had never been
through security before. Because the number of people who just
totally panic when they actually have to go through a
(19:30):
metal detector. It never ceases to amaze me at the airport,
but I would think the media would be like, Okay,
I understand, it was one hundred and eighty degrees, it
felt like baking sunshine, and some of these people were
reacting like the metal detecture before.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
It reminds me of the people that are in a
long coffee line and they get to the front of
the coffee line and they decide that's when they want
to read the menu for the lavender latte or whatever
it's not good, or you're the ice cream person and
you decide there's a huge line. You're like, you have
to have ten different flavor tasting of course. Yes, of course,
speaking of.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Flavor tasting, has been a lot of flavor tasting going
on for Trump of who exactly the VP would be.
That is an incredible transition. And here is Fox News.
This is Brett Bayer and Bill Himmer announcing on the
air just a little while ago that Trump will announce
the VP tonight at the Republican National Convention.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Listen, he did.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Confirm that he's going to make a VP choice today
and he said, Brett, there's other surprises to come, So
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, So yeah, if he's going to make his choice today,
will we hear it today?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Did he answer that, Yes, Yeah, We're going to get
the VP today.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
So big news tonight.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
In theory, there are reports that Buck's prediction jd Vance
has left his home with a huge motorcade. That would
suggest potentially jd Vance is going to be the pick.
He is now the gambling favorite by a substantial amount.
And so as we break all of this down, that
is going to be a seismic part of this.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Buck, think about this. We got assassination attempt.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Saturday VP pick, Monday speech on Thursday to accept the nomination.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
This is crazy and another news story that we have
mentioned and done a little bit of analysis on, and
we'll get back to what happened over the weekend. I
think more in the next hour. But if this wasn't
all those other things going on, the fact that a judge,
Eileen Cannon, Clay's favorite judge, Eileen Cannon, dismissed the mar
(21:37):
Lago Documents case against Trump in its entirety, saying Jack
Smith is not a legitimate prosecutor essentially based on the
appointments necessary by the President or Congress. That's a huge win.
That is a huge win. The mar Lago Documents case
was again, all of these cases are ridiculous. That was
(21:59):
the where process issues may have been the most concerning.
If you're going to take one case where okay, well,
you know, how did they react to the subpoena or
whatever it's gone for right now? Now they're going to
appeal it, obviously, But Clay, another massive win for Donald
Trump in a string of just astonishing situations that are
(22:23):
putting him. I can't even believe the numbers that we're
seeing out of swing states right now about how meaning
I get why they're so far ahead for Trump, but
you have a hard time thinking he's really up double
digits in a lot of these swing states.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Now, I give credit to Eileen Cannon. You don't drop
a ninety seven page opinion without having spent a long
time writing it. You know it's going to be appealed,
so there are a ton of details that you have
to manage. Every little citation needs to be perfect. I'm
sure they've been vetting this for a long time. The
(22:56):
fact that she dropped this today, I would tie it
back in with the conversations that we had over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I put it out on social media.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Joe Biden had an opportunity to dismiss this case and
get all the credit for it, both the morally right
thing to do and the politically right thing to do
if he's trying to actually unite the nation. Instead, he
did two addresses yesterday from the White House. Both of
them fell flat, and then Eileen Cannon correctly just came
(23:26):
over the top rope and absolutely flattened Jack Smith and
the Department of Justice cases buck lawfair. This has the
potential right now, as we're sitting here about one hundred
and ten days out to be the most devastating own
goal that any American political party has ever delivered on
itself when you watch all this collapsing.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
And it also factors into a clear I think you
might have say, heroes arc for Trump of multiple impeachments,
for criminal indictments, first former president and first presidential candidate
to have ever faced for any indictment, a conviction of
(24:07):
a preposterous felony case in New York City, an attempted assassination,
and the Democrats are saying we've already lost, you know,
when you think about what he has been through and
the unbelievable resilience. I don't like to say things about
politicians like it seems superhuman, but it does. There is
(24:29):
something you could say, He's just the luckiest guy in
the world. And you could say that even without what
just happened over the weekend. Clay, We're gonna talk about it.
A bullet a five to five six grazed his ear. Yeah,
this is you know, They're just there's something going on,
and the American people, by I think a solid majority
(24:51):
now feel it where Trump has become this unstoppable political
force and we've been saying, how are they going to
get it. What's going to happen with this lawfare in
this instance, the lawfair you just raised this. We've been
saying it's a possibility on the show. They may have
committed the most absurd, self destructive series of political blunders
(25:17):
any of us will have ever seen. And we're not
even at the election yet. Yeah, this is all you know,
pre election stuff. This is the campaign. And you also
you know you have the lawfair they've tried against Trump,
I think because it's been going on in a way. Okay,
they saved all four cases of the election year. Yes,
(25:38):
that's unforgivable, unpardonable. They clearly did that for political reasons.
And now you also have this attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
You can't separate all these things. Insofar as they've created
this narrative that he's going to end the country. That
has been what Democrats have been saying. We need to
(25:58):
lock him up in prison. This is what the mainstream
Democrat party has been saying for years. And now they're saying,
we probably should get used to a second term of Trump.
We can't, Joe Biden can't get this done. And but
it's so bad that I'm actually more confident. While I've
been one hundred percent confident the whole time, but I'm
more confident than I've been in a while. That, of
(26:19):
course it has to be Joe Biden. Now, you would
have to want to light your own political career on
fire to be a Democrat to step into the way
of the Trump train. Right now, I think what they're
going to do is in the near future, there's go
And by the way, Axios has a story up where
they quote someone prominent in the Democrat Party anonymously basically saying,
(26:41):
we're all resigned to the fact that Trump's gonna win.
The money is going to start getting redirected to Senate
races and congressional races.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Now, we want all of you to go vote. We
want you to go vote early, We want you to
bank your ballots. Understand all of that. You all listening
to us, The millions of you out there will decide
the next president of the United States. But Democrat full
fledged panic has set in. And that's before we get
the VP bounce. That's before we get what I think
(27:10):
could be Trump says he's completely rewriting his Thursday address.
This has the potential to be an unbelievably iconic address
to accept the nomination, where Trump can be statesmanlike and
say I'm bringing the nation completely together. Now he doesn't
even have to worry about attacking Biden. He's so far
above him.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Right now, we're going to be joined by Senator Roger
Marshall coming up here, which we're looking forward to, and
that'll be a good discussion in just a couple of moments.
Because we're at the RNC, We've got a lot of
people that we really want to talk to who will
be coming by live in person to hangout on Clay
and Buck. But you know, when the CEO of an
incredibly successful financial research company intentionally publicly reduces his salary
(27:53):
to a dollar a year from Big Bucks, there's got
to be a reason for it, right, Why would he
do it? Well, his name is Porters Stansburg. He's a
friend of mine. I've known him for a decade. He's
an incredibly successful economist, businessman, and entrepreneur. But he sees
a new form of money in America and it's making
some people very rich. You don't need to be a
CEO to obtain this new kind of compensation. Thousands of
(28:14):
Americans in different full time roles have already started to
be compensated in this new form. It's detailed in a
new video you'll find online at a website that's easy
to watch. Every American is legally entitled to use this
not so well known currency, but if you know much
about it, Porter's hoping to change that. It's critical you
understand how America's new money works. Check out Porter's latest
(28:35):
detailed presentation online at secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
You know him as conservative radio hosts, now just get
to know them as guys on this Sunday Hang podcast
with Clay and Fuck. Find it in their podcast feed
on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Bach. We are
joined my Senator Roger Marshall from the great state of Kansas.
Senator here in person with us. You look professional, which
is good because you're a senator. We're radio host, so
this is how we roll. Sorry about that, but let's
just first start with day one r n C here
you are. It feels different, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Pick up and have a dodge pickup and usually have
a twelve gage shotgun in the back for hunting purposes
as well.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
How's it feel?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
I've never seen the Republican Party so unified, and just
my first convention, I think that many of us feel
like we're making history. That President Trump was divinely protected
Saturday night, and you know what's next for this country.
I've never seen so many people just uniting, people that
were on the fence saying I'm in, I'm all in.
What a fighter we have in Donald Trump. So I'm
(29:54):
just wanted to be here.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
As we speaking of Donald Trump. As you were about
to come on the set with us. You're standing talking
to me. Your phone rings it's President Trump. You literally
were talking to him three or four minutes ago. What
can you tell us about that call or is it
top secret? Well, I think most importantly is that he's
doing good. He's I think he's.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Very, very grateful and certainly realizes this divine providence as
spirit his life and that he has a special purpose
out here. He reminds me of King David from the
Old Testament that God, that he has a heart for
God and he wants to do the right thing. And
of course I'm not going to talk about the vice
president thing, but maybe that came.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Up maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Do you know, even if you won't tell us, do
you know who the vice presidential nominee is?
Speaker 5 (30:39):
I do not know for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I like I'm the one with an interrogation background, but
Clay can't wait.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Sitting right here on the set. Who knows?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
So what are you hoping this week accomplishes for the party?
I mean, how do you expect the messaging to go?
Because you know, look, let's be honest, given what just happened,
and you mentioned if I'm I said to you, I'm
not somebody who throws the term miracle around very much.
But I have enough familiarity with firearms and tactical situations
to know that it was a miracle that Donald Trump
was okay. Still a massive security lapse and a failure,
(31:11):
but it is a miracle that he's fine. Given that
people could see this as an opportunity to be very angry,
very partisan, or an opportunity to rise above and bring
the country together, how do you think the president or
I should say the former president and hopefully future president
can do that. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
So unity, unity, Unity, I think that is the message
that we're going to be talking about here. And I
think the writings on the wall we walk in here,
the platforms done. It's simple, twenty simple bullet points. We
focus on the policies on securing the border a big
removing a lot of illegal aliens out of the country.
We focus on the economy. How do we get rid
(31:53):
of inflation and will we do that through driving down
cutting regulations and cutting taxes and balancing the budget. So
I think there's a message of unity here Republicans, You'll
like it or not. We all do have an opinion
and it's hard for us to come together, and I
think America sees that. But I really do feel that
this week you're going to see a message of unity
out of the entire party. It's great to see some
(32:14):
other people coming on board to speak tonight as well,
so we're all in.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
You are one of the first people to raise issues
about Joe Biden's mental and physical decline or dies issues.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
You are a physician.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
What do you see observing him and is it in
your mind reckless to be arguing as Democrats are that
he could serve for another four and a half years
as president of the United States based on what you observe.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
Yeah, heaven forbid if Joe Biden gets re elected or
truly a vote for Kamala Harris. You don't have to
be a doctor to see this huge decline that we're seeing.
And once you kind of fall off that cliff, it's
really a rapid dissent. I think that we're seeing it
in his speech, but where I really see it as
his physical abilities. Look a person with Parkinson's that what
they do is they this real shuffle when they walk.
(33:02):
And even today now Joe Biden is walking when his
toes at the ground first rather than his heels at
the ground first, So that's a big difference from last year.
He's holding his arms even closer to himself, so he's
not there's not much movement in his arms. He has
Brady kinesia, very slow movements and then he freezes. Right.
We don't know what his cognitive function is like, but
(33:23):
the onus is upon him. He could prove that to us.
I think we've seen from his debate performances, even even
from his press conferences since then, that there's a huge
cognitive laps going on.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Hey, doc, what should the GOP do about healthcare?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Going for I'm just gonna give you a simple one,
you know what I mean, But go ahead, sports teams
in a few minutes. But for now, how do we
fix that?
Speaker 5 (33:42):
Well, so you want to talk about the chief chance
of repeating? No, really, So I came to Congress so
I'm not only a physician. I helped front a hospital.
I've overseen health departments. Anything that promotes transparency, innovation, and
consumerism will drive down the cost of healthcare. It's the
cost of healthcare that's the problem. Most people like their doctor,
they like theirs. It's so anything we can do to
make health care more transparent tromote innovation. If you want
(34:04):
me to say Medicare, I need a drug for Alzheimer's,
that type of thing. And then consumerism is letting patients
be consumers again. Right now, when I would see a
patient say look, you need a surgery, the first thing
they asked me does Medicare cover this? Does my insurance
cover it? If it does, great, But there was never
a thought about well how much is it going to cost?
So we need to make patients consumers again, would love
to come back and talk about prescription drug prices and
(34:27):
the impact that pharmacy benefit managers have on that three
of them controlling about ninety percent of the industry and
they take fifty cents of every dollar.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Can Trump fix it? If he has unified government? Can
Trump make big strides to do more so that we
actually see healthcare costs going down? This used to be is,
you know, the primary political issue. Then Joe Biden decided
to blow up the whole border and make it so that,
you know, ten million legals have come in, so that's
gone to the front. But healthcare is still a big deal.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
So, first of all, President Trump did some things to
fix it. One thing he did he issued in an
executive order that hospitals had to be more transparent with
their prices and their costs, something that I asked him
to do.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
So I think the.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Answer is yes, it won't be easy. Is this a
four or five trillion dollar industry. They have an incredible lobby.
It's part of that swamp in DC. I'm not sure
which is bigger, the Department of Defense people lobby them
or the healthcare So it is a lot of dollars
going by.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Last question for you, do you expect to see the
vice president introduced tonight and what would you like to
hear from the vice presidential candidate if we do get
that introduction tonight.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Right, I expect an announcement any moment now, any within
the next few hours. I expect him to be he
to be introduced this evening. I want to hear a
message of unity. At the same time, I think I
go back and think of other vice president candidates we
had had out there, is that they do need to
defend the president's policies and they need to be the
face of taking on some of those tough, tough issue
(35:49):
issues out there as well. I wanted to be someone
that truly embraces what we're here from Americans, that they
want to secure the border, they want the price of
gas and groceries to from them.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
And just real quick, your Kansas City chiefs will win
again next next year? Is that what's going to happen?
Or I should say, well, yeah, next year if you January,
is that when the super Bowl happens?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Close February but close.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Yeah, you know, we just introduced Mitch Holtis as the
Kansad of the Year at at our big society meeting,
he's all in. He thinks that he sees that special motivation.
And you know what he said. The secret sauce was
the great players he's ever met are humble, and he
sees that humbleness in Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and
Coach Reed as well.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
I think that about radio host but doesn't agree.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Humbleness, humbleness, Senator, thank you for.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Giving us the time.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I noticed, by the way, I'm not the CIA guy,
but you said he when the vice president gets introduced,
which makes me.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Maybe you do know who's coming. Thank you, sir, Thank
you everybody.
