Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome Back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, Final Hour,
Monday edition, Live from Milwaukee News Coming fast and Furious. Saturday,
Trump comes within an inch of being assassinated. The top
story right now not the iconic, the unbelievable, the courageous
(00:21):
response of Trump, but the VP news which this is
all being driven by Trump, who is a master showman.
During this commercial break and I have to hit refresh
on my phone again, reports that tonight we will find
out who the VP is. There are now multiple reports
that Marco Rubio has been called and informed that he
(00:43):
is not going to be the vice presidential pick.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's like in the call you Fired.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It is like The Apprentice, as Trump told us on Friday,
it was like a high stakes version of The Apprentice.
Trump has hinted to Brett Baer that they're going to
be multiple different surprises.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Let me give you one buck.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What if RFK Junior, in the wake of the assassination,
recognizing that he's really just a spoiler candidate, were to
show up at the RNC endorse Trump and Trump were
to say I'm going to put RFK Junior inside of
my cabinet. That would be a huge coup. Again, I
(01:27):
don't know what. We've talked about this quite a lot.
What is the RFK Junior constituent? How many people are
pulling from Trump versus Biden? What are your thoughts if
that were to be the choice, and are you sticking
with your boy jd Vance?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I would advise you yes, up until the final moment.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Let's remember that I am the fellow who, after Biden's
disastrous debate performance the next day, double down that Biden
would be the candidate.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So there is no moving me off of my prediction.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And also, honestly, I think the best candidate under the
circumstances of jd Vance for VP. As to RFK Junior,
there is no point in him continuing his campaign at
this phase other than he wants attention and maybe if
you want to be charitable, he wants to have a
voice in the conversation. But if you're going to be
(02:21):
getting less than ten percent of the vote overall, I mean,
the voice at the table is I think minimal, and
you don't want to be in a position where you're
just playing spoiler, right, So if you were to come
out and endorse Trump, I think that would make a
lot of sense that the atricality of it would be
well timed as well, given that we're seeing everything going
(02:41):
on here at the RNC, and it just feels like
more so than even it would have been otherwise. This
is the center of the political universe and in this
country at least, and there's certainly a greater degree of
attention on it right now. I think RFK Junior has
a chance to Is he even around? Do we know
is he here? There are reports that he might be
in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We don't know many maybe yes, maybe you no.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
If he is here and he endorses Donald Trump for president,
I think that would be the best usage of what
he has done so far and the way that he
has brought a different voice into the campaign while living
in the reality of he's not going to be RFK
Junior is not going to be president. Joe Biden would
beat RFK Junior by a lot right now, So what's
(03:25):
the point?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So we'll see.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I think that would make a lot of sense, and
that could add to the political intrigue of the moment
if we get some confirmed reports at RFK Junior, Because
as lovely as Milwaukee is this type of a time
of year, it would be quite a coincidence for the
independent candidate you just happen to be here.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I would also point out that in the wake of
the assassination attempt on Trump, if you are our FK
junior and I tweeted this, I said he should drop
out and endorse Trump. Doesn't it have to in your mind,
because it did for almost everybody out there listening. If
you were alive when JFK was assassinated, when RFK was assassinated,
(04:05):
when MLK was assassinated, doesn't it have to transport you
back to that era to have seen how close Trump
was to being killed. And if you're running an RFK junior,
to his credit, has talked about how there needs to
be more unity in America. Might that have pushed him towards,
in a conjunction with seeing that he's only going to
(04:25):
win nine or ten percent of the vote, that it's
time to try to bring America together and that the
best way that he could approximate that based on his
movement is to endorse Trump, because he's clearly not going
to endorse Biden. Again, I'm just putting it out there.
If that were to happen, it would actually potentially narratively
make sense.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I also think it's.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Worth noting that a message of unity in the campaign
should not be confused with a promise to water down
the governance, that is, the governance that has been promised
by Trump and those around him.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's we want as many people as possible to join
in with the GOP it's leader right now, Donald Trump,
and to be a part of a sweeping electoral victory.
But it doesn't mean unity as in, let's take a
middle path if Trump wins and the Republicans hopefully get
control of the House and the Senate, because I know
(05:26):
there are people that are that are taking a much
more we should be thinking politically as wartime conservatives, and
the GOP needs to just be you know, laser focused
on running up a scoreboard as high as it possibly
can right now in a very partisan and aggressive way, meaning,
you know, look at what these psychos have done to us,
(05:46):
look at what's gone on. This is about winning, right
If you want to be able to govern, if you
want the Trump agenda to become a reality, you have
to win, and you want to win by the largest
margin possible. You certainly want to have the House and
the Senate under a publican control and so what's the
most effective messaging right now to that end, I think
is what's going to be driving a lot of what
(06:07):
we see at the RNC. And I also think that
there's a sense from the Democrats they don't know what
their countermessaging should be. And perhaps the best single example
of that is when I flicked on the TV this
morning to see what the Democrat headquarters of Mourning Joe
(06:29):
had to offer, like, what are the left wing talking
points today?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What are they going to say? Clay? There was no Joe,
there was no Mica. I was sitting there, I'm like,
where is Joe? Where is Mika? What is going on here?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And it turns out they wouldn't allow them to have
their show today. I think it might even be longer
than just today, but it's definitely today. The NBC News brass,
you know, the higher ups, the executives, were too worried
that morning Joe would have on one of its usual
lunatics who have been saying the Trump is Hitler stuff,
(07:03):
and that, given what happened over the weekend, might be
a particularly bad look for the network, and so on
the biggest news day of the year. In some ways,
the biggest Democrat partisan show on TV at least is
not able to air.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It might be the biggest Monday of Morning Joe's entire
political TV existence. We were talking about this off air.
If we had gotten a call and they had said, hey,
the news is too important right now, you guys aren't
going to be on today, you and I would have
(07:41):
lost our minds.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
No way we would. It's not happening.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And I can only imagine that Joe Scarborough and Mika
Brazinski and all the people that are on their show.
What an incredible indictment of their entire program that on
the day that Buck s Ex wakes up on the
Monday after an assassination attempt, as the Republican Convention begins again.
(08:06):
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say this is
potentially the biggest Monday. I guarantee you when our ratings
come out, this is going to be one of the
most listened to shows that we have ever had, because
oftentimes this tracks with television news. When people care about news,
they listen more, they consume more. I think you have
(08:27):
to quit if they don't let you on to do
your show on the biggest day of maybe your career now,
not to sound like Mourning Joe's lawyer, but I'm about
to There is an impossible situation though, because they have
been telling their audience that Trump is an existential threat
(08:48):
to the degree where it is not possible for Mourning
Joe to extend correct sympathy, to extend.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
You know, it would seem like a betrayal to their
audience to have even this just the most basic human
decency extended toward Donald Trump in this moment. They can't
do that. That morning Joe is incapable of doing that
because you can't tell people for years Trump is Hitler
(09:17):
and then open your show on Monday with well, we're
glad you know Hitler is okay, and the country should
come together around Hitler right now.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So there's where do you take that? Where do you go?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
And that's why I actually understand why the executives over
there pull that show off the air. But it's indicative
of the entire media democrat ecosystem where they don't believe
this stuff that they say. They don't believe the narratives
they presented about Trump is a.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Threat to democracy and the threat to our future, and
he's going to destroy the entire country, and we sit
here said Joe Biden is too olden senile, which is
objectively true.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
He's a crappy president. People have gotten poor. The border's
wide open.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
But I don't think you know, I don't sit here
and say if Joe Biden wins, there's no more country.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And they have normalized hysteria.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
They've actually mandated hysteria in the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And they don't believe the arguments that they're making. This
is really important, but enough of their audience does that
you can have assassination attempts like what happened to Trump.
I know they're saying, oh, we can't talk about the
motive and everything else. If you try to blow somebody's
head off, you're not a fan of them. Show me
(10:30):
in history where someone has tried to blow someone's head off,
and they have been big fans. I'm not familiar. You know,
when Caesar got stabbed by everybody in the Senate, it
wasn't a group hug. When Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK,
he wasn't a big JFK fan. When Abraham Lincoln got
(10:51):
shot in Ford's Theater by John Wilkes Booth, John Wilkes
Booth wasn't like man, you know who I love and
thinks the greatest president of all time, Abraham Lincoln. You
don't try and murder the person that you love. We
got breaking I'm sorry, breaking in with breaking news. Here
from Fox News is Aisha Hasney North Dakota Governor Doug
(11:12):
Doug Bergham. I can report to you now via Fox
News Aisha Hasney.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Doug Burgham. Everybody is not your VP. Whoa whoa? There
for a minute, Hager, you like it?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I was actually thinking, is that the way the VP
news is gonna break?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Are you kidding me? Trump? No way, he would let
it go down.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Like by the way, Maury Povitch too, Remember that not
the father. Remember out there the way you just delivered that.
You know, the guys start dancing around. You are not
You are not the father. So we have Marco Rubio eliminated,
we have Doug Bergham eliminated.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So I'm gonna tell you something that's that to me
sounds crazy and I'm not in I am not in
any way on this train. But I do have people
who are texting me without you know, they're they're off
the record, or you know, without attribution whatever. I can't
say who it is, but people are texting me who
(12:15):
are saying there may be They're they're telling me that
RFK Junior is in contention at this point, and that's
what Trump means by somebody the media is not talking about,
which I don't buy that.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I just want to be clear. I think it's going
to be Jade Vance.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I've said that all along, but Burgham out, Rubio out.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
According to reports, this all could change too.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Trump could call them back and be like, actually, people
are saying so we'll have to see. But I'm I'm
feeling pretty good about my Jdvan's prediction right now.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, So if Martha McCollum's right that those were the
final four, now there could be to your point, RFK Junior.
There's obviously the Vey Kramaswami out there. There could be
a surprise candidate, but this would suggest that it's JD
Vance or Glenn Youngki and based on those final four,
and again there are reports that RFK Junior is also
(13:09):
in the community. Let meet you with the live odds
buck your boy. JD Vance forty eight percent. Doug Bergum
was the second favorite. He's now out, So hold on,
we got a new announcement here to This is from
Bill Mlugin.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He says, the VP.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Is going to be announced at four to twenty seven pm.
I think we have audio here is this right? Cut
twenty seven? This is the team putting this together.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Why for twenty seven pm?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Why does it say just added number twenty seven? Bill
Malugin saying the VP will be announced at four to
twenty seven pm.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
We do have it, all right? Can we play that audio?
Speaker 6 (13:50):
According to a Trump campaign source, the VP pick has
been made. We're gonna find out who that person is
or the first time we're going to see them on camera,
we're told is at four thirty seven PM during a
roll call. It's possible we will find out who that
person is before that on camera appearance, but Fox News
(14:10):
can report according to a Trump campaign source, the VP
has been selected. Now it's just a matter of time
finding out who that person is, and we are told
the first time we will see them is at four
thirty seven pm during the roll call here at the RNC.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
All right, betterre you go, breaking news four thirty seven
pm Eastern at a minimum, boys out a little bit
over two hours from.
Speaker 3 (14:33):

this is like the Apprentice. It's mister Trump told us
it was going to be a fun show. Well, we
got a couple of hours until we know who might
well be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

many people know. We'll be back breaking it down for

Speaker 3 (16:27):
There is I mean, if we're going to beat a
live event like this, you gotta say there's electricity in
the air.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yes, that's right, that's the classic. There's electricity in the air.
There really is, though, and people.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Are very aware of the fact that this feels quite
different that there's a a focus on what's going on here,
even above and beyond what was expected for the obvious
reasons of the events of the last few days.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So we're going to be joined here as we are
throughout the whole week. Remember Clay and I are here
in Milwaukee for the week. We are going to be
joined by our friend Cash Patel. He's got a documentary
that people can see here, a Government Gangsters, I believe
it is called.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So we'll talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
But also he knows Trump well on the whole top
team of Trump advisors, and so we'll look at that.
And Clay, I'm.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Just continuing to seriously, you look at the VP refreshing.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm thinking, is morning Joe gonna be on tomorrow morning?
Like how long is the band gonna last? You know
what I mean? How long is the You.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Guys are are clown show liars. You can't actually go
on air this week? How long is that gonna last?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I don't know? But again to refresh, it is a
Prentice style. Doug Bergum and Marco Rubio have been notified
that they are not the VP, So jd vance Glenn
Youngkin mystery candidate.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We'll talk about that with cash and more.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
When we come back and start to break down, we're
gonna know the VP here very very shortly.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
There's a new.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Credit card that's being seen in these parts of Wisconsin
this week. It's from Coin back by Visa, a credit
card dedicated to advancing conservatism and conservative causes coins spelled.
Speaker 2 (18:06):

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Welcome back in, Clay, Travis Buck Sexton Show final half
hour Monday edition, live from Milwaukee. As drama builds on
who the vice president will be. We are joined now
by Kosh Ptel, who I bet is going to have
a role in the new Trump administration. He can play
coy about it. I bet Buck you would bet on
that as well. First, let's start here. What are you
(19:14):
asking Cash?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
What he wants?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Weather it will be in So let's start here. Expected
VP announcement very very soon. Buck went jd Vance months ago.
To his credit, jd Vance now out to seventy percent
odds in the favor of being the nominee. Do you
think it's going to be jd Vance or do you
think that you know Trump? Is there some sort of
(19:38):
surprise that is still out there on the horizon.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
I think the genius of Trump, whoever he picks, is
that there's always going to be multiple candidates until the
very last second. And that's just how he operates because
he looks and reads the room. I mean, look at
the gravity of what we just went through in the
last forty eight hours, right, I mean that magnet monumentally
changed the scene. What I've said to him and when
I said publicly is the same thing I said. It
doesn't matter who you pick, you're gonna pick the best candidate.
(20:01):
But my Mickey Mouse opinion is, don't pick someone who's
going to run for your job the second you announced him.
Don't pick someone who's going to be your number two.
And in the White House we're gonna have to fight
the same fights we did with Mike Pence, who's trying
to have your job every day and as staff leaking
all the time.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
That's the most important thing to me. It's not really
a quality test because the quality we have on the
menu is incredible.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
So this is an important part I think of the
future for Trump and obviously therefore for the country. Cash
You were acting chief of staff at d D under Trump, right,
so you've seen what personnel at a high level the
Trump administration was like people. Trump himself has said that
he had some choices. I mean, you just mentioned the
vice president who was running for president until he came
(20:44):
on this show and Clay asked him, Now, I was
gonna say, not a few questions, one question a few times.
That pretty much ended the end of that trajectory, whatever
it was for his run. Is Trump going to put
the right people in the right places this time. Are
you confident does he have the right people advice seeing
him about who should go where? The additional you know,
he's the I don't know if you're a chess guy,
(21:05):
but you know he's the king. But he needs to
have the bishops and the knights and the Rooks and
everybody else in place too.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
No, you're absolutely right. You can't just go top level.
You got to go rungs down the ladder at every
agency and department. And the good news is the bench exists.
The bench is now known. The bench is out there.
And for me, I think there's a separation between how
campaigns are run and how white houses are run. Right
we're in full campaign mode. And that's not my expertise
or fora but I do believe that the president from
the first administration and what the media and the justice
(21:31):
system has done to him, has now been very attuned
to what is required in the next administration. People keep
telling me, like, you're a Trump loyals Trump layist, is like,
I don't even know what that means. All I'm meant
for is to follow the lawful orders of the commander
in chief. Because Donald Trump is my boss. I'm a
senior advisor still, so obviously I'm biased. But that's what
that's what people need to do, whether it's ag FBI,
(21:52):
whoever comes in at those positions. They can't come in
and do a Bill bar or Mark Espergina Haskell or
Rod Rosenstein. They can't come in and undercut him and
threaten to wear and going to the Oval office and
videotape and audiotape and President put him under legal surveillance.
That's the type of stuff we were up against.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
When you saw what happened on Saturday, where were you
the assassination attempt? What was your reaction not only to
what you saw? Did it surprise you, but also to
the courage and bravery that Trump showed?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Did that? What was your reaction? Kind of take us
off to your impressions.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
So I was at the hotel room with the Nevada
delegation who I'm here with with the chairman, and somebody
called me and said, hey, Trump just got shot. I
was like what, that's not really funny. And then we
flipped on the TV and I was like, oh my god,
and you know, a million different strengths.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
He was gone for a second for about two or
three minutes, I was worried that he was gone.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
You know, when you hear the President's shot, that's yeah,
you're like, did you go to the scariest place? Of course,
just a natural reaction. You don't want it to be true.
But then as soon as the TV turned on and
he gave that fist bump, I was like, my man
is not even good to go. He is outrageously good
to go, And and that like, I mean, you want
to talk about two ends of the spectrum. I'm down here.
The second I see he gets here, he gets shot.
(23:01):
The any ways, the fist crowd goes USA, and I go,
this guy is living in a world that can only
be led by him. I mean, it was just an
amazing scene to see that. In fifteen seconds, literally fifteen seconds,
you saw the lowest of the low and the highest
of the high.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I still can't believe he did it, by the way, Yeah,
I mean it was so courageous and I have never
been I was fired up, like the way I was
watching Braveheart when William Wallace throws the sword up in
the air, except this was real lighte.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yes, see, this was really happening. This was Hollywood movie.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
It outdid whatever moments of you know, political glory you
thought of in the past in movies.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
No, there is no warrior like that. And he may
be a political warrior, but he is a warrior in
a class of his own. You know, I'm coming from
a world of guys who used to be Special Forces operators.
Those guys are warriors. I'm coming from a world of
guys who wear the badger, wear the uniform. Those guys
and gals are warriors. But Donald Trump is a warrior
in his own league. There is no one else in it.
There's no one else's tough and smart he is. And
what he did in the twenty four hours afterwards let
(24:03):
the world know that he is not backing down and
that he wants to unify this country. I thought he
sees the moment better than any script, any Hollywood film
could have ever done. And the world is rallying behind him.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
What do you think the Biden campaign thought when they
saw that video? I mean, because I'll be honest, First
of all, Joe Biden, we know could never you know,
in any way behave in that fact, can barely move
right now. But if there were a Democrat president and
for Sinda, this was not Trump, and they reacted in
that way.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I would say the exact same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I'm saying, now, this is the baddest ass thing we
have ever seen an American president or an American president
sill contender do in my life, maybe in anybody's life
that's listening. I just I just picture them seeing that
and being like, the race is over, right like this.
There was a story buck about when Ronald Reagan gave
the point to hoak speech and he was running in
(24:58):
against Mondel, and Mondell's campaign watched the speech and they
were like, yeah, we're gonna get smoked. They were like,
this race is over because that was just such a
majestic speech at the right time. To me, I watched
that and I'm saying, there's no way you can come
back from this.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
I think they're inaction defined there. Biden's inaction defines what
they were thinking. I mean, if you were the commander
in chief of the free world and you saw your
opponent and former president get shot, yes, what you should
do is get on the TV immediately. He waited hours
to address the nation. They waited hours to put out
a statement because that's what they wanted. They wanted that
vacuum filled by crazy, outrageous statements that they could then
(25:36):
politicize what they should have done. Their inaction speaks more
than their action does for them not to get on
the horn and say, right away, we hope Donald Trump's okay.
Right away we spoke to him, and right away we
are going to figure out what happened to him. I mean,
his press conference and his Oval office.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Address was shameful, Fir commandergy in the same way that
you could tell the political ideological leanings of media outlets
based on what whether they did things like CNN saying,
you know, Trump at rally, here's pop pop and falls down.
I mean, it was disgraceful the way that they initially
(26:11):
they actually wrote like falls down or something, and it
was gunfire then falls down.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I've got them both, Yau. They're so bad because I
knew they were going to change him. Trump injured in
incident at Pennsylvania Round that CNN I saw it. Secret
Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.
This is why the people hate the media, and this
is why people who say we are are wrongfully attacking
the media we're asking them to put out the truth.
The world is watching and you can't. There's a videotape,
(26:35):
everyone is watching and you can't put the truth there.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
But in that moment, you can tell who's who and
what they believe based on how they reported on it.
Same thing with Joe Biden when he's asked the question
it was just an assassination, and he muttered something about
I don't have all the facts. Yes, someone tried to
shoot Donald Trump. What other facts do you need to
know that this and him and hit him?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yeah, And this is a initial for what an assassination
attempt is. And Joe Biden needs more facts. What are
the facts would you need other than He didn't want
to make that concession in the moment because he's so
partisan and so pathetic, And I think that that just
shows you Biden's character. It's even more than just the
fact that this guy is to mention, he's not a
(27:18):
good guy.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
How pathetic.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Having said, we're very fortunate that Trump is still alive,
Unfortunately one man isn't who went to the rally, two
people severely injured in the shooting.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
How much of a failure.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Is it that we allowed Donald Trump's life to come
literally within an inch or less of ending due to
complete it seems to me complete operational failure in terms
of protecting him. What's your reaction on that as more
of those details have come out.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
As look, I've done fifty trips with the president around
the country overseas when he was in office. Since he's
been out of office, I know the Secret Service guys
really well. And it is a mechanical failure of epic proportions.
And here's the thing. I have an op ed coming
out later on it. You know, we cannot rely, in
my opinion, on this FBI and this DOJ who set
up Donald Trump and tried to weaponize justice against him
(28:07):
to kneecap and politically and take them out of the race.
We cannot say, oh, let them do their investigation. We
cannot have Congress, where we have a Republican majority in
the House, say let the FBI DJ investigate. No, they
lost that mandate. And also Congress is a coequal, coordinate
branch of government. So I outline an entire investigative process.
I don't want to get out of the facts. I
don't want to say it was this person's fault. Or
that group's fault or lack of funding or lack of resources.
(28:28):
I want to find out the answers, and they should
be giving the American people those answers on a daily
basis in the well of Congress, saying we found this,
and not let the deep state, FBI, DOJ hide behind.
It's classified. We can't tell you. We the people run
Congress and we the people run the executive Branch.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Where's that off ed going up?
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Actually, I don't know. My publiciers put it out.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I got to find Well, if you need somewhere to
publish it, I'd like to publish it at out Kick
if you need somewhere. Because we've been talking about this,
I don't understand how we can allow the FBI that's
trying to put Trump in prison for the rest of
his life to also simultaneously be investigating who tried to
kill him. That is such a conflict that's readily apparent.
I'm surprised more people aren't pointing it out.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
You're right on it.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
No, and the Speaker of the House. Look, I'm not
calling out Mike John's I've known him a long time.
I think he's a great guy. But he has the
authority and the ability to say we are going to
conduct a parallel investigation. I'm not saying you got to
shut down the FBIDJ, but you go in there and
you get every memorandum. There's an issue of whether or
not Trump asked for Secret Service. I know that his
people did ask for augmentation over the years, and what
(29:27):
did Secret Service do came in over the top and said, no,
that's a lie. Okay, let's see the memorandus because if
that rask is made, it's papered, not lately, heavily, over
and over and over again. So where the emails, where
are the documents? Show the American people that and don't
summarize to me a political cover up job. You guys
covered up Russiagate, You covered up the insurrection narrative, You
covered up Hunter Biden's laptop, You covered up fifty one
(29:47):
Intel letter. You lost the mandate of truth and credibility
with the American people in Congress. As our only hope, Cash,
you're gonna have to help Trump clean up the swamp?
You ready for Listen, I'm all in for helping the
president get elected. And if I have the opportunity he
gives me a call on November fifth to say, hey,
can you come back in. I'm all in one hundred
and ten percent wherever he wants me.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Outstanding stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
We appreciate you and the work you're doing now and
hopefully we'll be doing in the near future.

We are closing up shop here today at the RNC
live on the Clan Buck Show with our friend Nick
Adams joining us here. He's the CEO of the Foundation
for Liberty and American Greatness and an official surrogate of
the Trump twenty twenty four campaign, and has a very
cool accent, which is an unfair advantage in all radio situations.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Mister Nick Adams, good to see you.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Good I Buck, great to be here with you and
play enjoying it. What an atmosphere, What a context that
we're mating.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, there really is a just a sense of history
this week. I know they probably say that at every
r and SEE and probably every DNC too, because you know,
communists of.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
History as well. But this feels real.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
This is this is a time when I think that
the country is looking to see where things are going.
And I think Donald Trump and some of the speeches
we hear this week will really matter and be remembered.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
And so to the vice presidential pick that we're eagerly
awaiting any any moment, I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I mean, you're here, but there's like a are we you.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Know, look, are you able to I don't think you
could serve I'm not sure I could either. But you
know what, if I'm asked, I will say what everyone
is meant to say, and that is I serve it
the pleasure of the president.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
So I'm going to be interesting to see who he picks.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I've got a gut feeling we're going to be surprised.
I think it's going to be Glenn Younkin, Governor Younkin
from Virginia.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
That would be my second choice right now.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I mean, I mean second likeliest, I think in my mind,
because you know, Rubio and Bergham have both been over
the course of the show today ruled out yes.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
And I know jd Vance all the talk's been on him,
but I don't know. I think the president likes a
little bit of a surprise, and my sources are telling
me that in the last few days he has been
very quickly ascending the latter So let's see, let's see. Look,
to be honest with you, I don't think it's going
to make much of a difference. I think whoever he
picks is going to make a nominal difference.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
In the campaign.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
But you need a vice president because you need a
vice president when you're leading.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
By the way, breaking news, Trump to announce VP pick
at RNC at three thirty Central, four thirty EASTERNO. So
the drama builds. Now you are Nick Adams. Alpha male
extraordinaire was Donald Trump's response to the assassination attempt, the
most alpha male response in the history of the modern day.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I mean, American President.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Clay, you couldn't write, you couldn't create, you couldn't script
anything remotely close to being as perfect an alpha male
reaction as Don Trump. Imagine taking a bullet near going down,
not because no, I reckon he could have stood. I
think he went down because he thought there might be
another one. But he goes down and he gets up
(34:14):
and immediately it's like, yeah, yeah, wait, give me my
shoes and then repeatedly pumps his fist in the air,
mouthing or even shouting fight and that continue. And then
my favorite part is as he's going off the steps,
then he really and it's almost turns into actual, you know,
(34:35):
shadow boxing.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
How many women that hate Trump were secretly enamored and
in love with that response? Honestly, like the most feminist
person out there, a lot of these I can't play
Travis question right, guarantee you they were actually like, Clay,
my god, I love this, even know they're pretending that
they don't.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Rachel Madow loved it. Clay.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Believe that American men everywhere on Saturday Night got lucky.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Okay, I think Donald Trump puts them all.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
In the skyrocketed for every man out there because women everywhere.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Or that's the Donald Trump effect. They said, I want
a strong man. I just saw a strong man. Give
me my strong man. Oh this is the baby making.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
The rates of children nine months from today are going
to skyrocket because of Trump's alpiness.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
I predict the population of the United States will get
a slight bump in nine months time.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I'm yeah, but I think.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
That's a crazy idea. So we got the VP in
what an hour and a half from now? Am I
doing the math correct?
Speaker 8 (35:44):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Does it actually matter?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
He said before I'll hand our our good friend mister
McAdams the floy here at the end.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Why would it matter if it does matter?
Speaker 4 (35:56):
It would matter if it does matter, if what happened
on Saturday actually is successful.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I meant for the ticket, Sorry meant what's the advantage
that could be brought here in the campaign.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Well, we in the campaign.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I think it's not going to be as significant as
it would be in governance. But in the campaign, it
depends where the candidate, what the state is that the
candidate resides in, leads in, has got a record in.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
It would depend on the strength I think.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
I think President Trump is going for someone that he
can depend on, and Mike Pence really disappointed him. I
think he wants to choose someone that will never make
him feel disappointed.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Because is it possible to be an alpha male and
stand in line alone to get ice cream?
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Ice Cream is the best thing on earth. If you
don't eat ice cream, you're a beater.
Welcome Back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, Final Hour,
Monday edition, Live from Milwaukee News Coming fast and Furious. Saturday,
Trump comes within an inch of being assassinated. The top
story right now not the iconic, the unbelievable, the courageous
(00:21):
response of Trump, but the VP news which this is
all being driven by Trump, who is a master showman.
During this commercial break and I have to hit refresh
on my phone again, reports that tonight we will find
out who the VP is. There are now multiple reports
that Marco Rubio has been called and informed that he
(00:43):
is not going to be the vice presidential pick.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's like in the call you Fired.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It is like The Apprentice, as Trump told us on Friday,
it was like a high stakes version of The Apprentice.
Trump has hinted to Brett Baer that they're going to
be multiple different surprises.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Let me give you one buck.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What if RFK Junior, in the wake of the assassination,
recognizing that he's really just a spoiler candidate, were to
show up at the RNC endorse Trump and Trump were
to say I'm going to put RFK Junior inside of
my cabinet. That would be a huge coup. Again, I
(01:27):
don't know what. We've talked about this quite a lot.
What is the RFK Junior constituent? How many people are
pulling from Trump versus Biden? What are your thoughts if
that were to be the choice, and are you sticking
with your boy jd Vance?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I would advise you yes, up until the final moment.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Let's remember that I am the fellow who, after Biden's
disastrous debate performance the next day, double down that Biden
would be the candidate.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So there is no moving me off of my prediction.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And also, honestly, I think the best candidate under the
circumstances of jd Vance for VP. As to RFK Junior,
there is no point in him continuing his campaign at
this phase other than he wants attention and maybe if
you want to be charitable, he wants to have a
voice in the conversation. But if you're going to be
(02:21):
getting less than ten percent of the vote overall, I mean,
the voice at the table is I think minimal, and
you don't want to be in a position where you're
just playing spoiler, right, So if you were to come
out and endorse Trump, I think that would make a
lot of sense that the atricality of it would be
well timed as well, given that we're seeing everything going
(02:41):
on here at the RNC, and it just feels like
more so than even it would have been otherwise. This
is the center of the political universe and in this
country at least, and there's certainly a greater degree of
attention on it right now. I think RFK Junior has
a chance to Is he even around? Do we know
is he here? There are reports that he might be
in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We don't know many maybe yes, maybe you no.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
If he is here and he endorses Donald Trump for president,
I think that would be the best usage of what
he has done so far and the way that he
has brought a different voice into the campaign while living
in the reality of he's not going to be RFK
Junior is not going to be president. Joe Biden would
beat RFK Junior by a lot right now, So what's
(03:25):
the point?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So we'll see.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I think that would make a lot of sense, and
that could add to the political intrigue of the moment
if we get some confirmed reports at RFK Junior, Because
as lovely as Milwaukee is this type of a time
of year, it would be quite a coincidence for the
independent candidate you just happen to be here.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I would also point out that in the wake of
the assassination attempt on Trump, if you are our FK
junior and I tweeted this, I said he should drop
out and endorse Trump. Doesn't it have to in your mind,
because it did for almost everybody out there listening. If
you were alive when JFK was assassinated, when RFK was assassinated,
(04:05):
when MLK was assassinated, doesn't it have to transport you
back to that era to have seen how close Trump
was to being killed. And if you're running an RFK junior,
to his credit, has talked about how there needs to
be more unity in America. Might that have pushed him towards,
in a conjunction with seeing that he's only going to
(04:25):
win nine or ten percent of the vote, that it's
time to try to bring America together and that the
best way that he could approximate that based on his
movement is to endorse Trump, because he's clearly not going
to endorse Biden. Again, I'm just putting it out there.
If that were to happen, it would actually potentially narratively
make sense.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I also think it's.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Worth noting that a message of unity in the campaign
should not be confused with a promise to water down
the governance, that is, the governance that has been promised
by Trump and those around him.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's we want as many people as possible to join
in with the GOP it's leader right now, Donald Trump,
and to be a part of a sweeping electoral victory.
But it doesn't mean unity as in, let's take a
middle path if Trump wins and the Republicans hopefully get
control of the House and the Senate, because I know
(05:26):
there are people that are that are taking a much
more we should be thinking politically as wartime conservatives, and
the GOP needs to just be you know, laser focused
on running up a scoreboard as high as it possibly
can right now in a very partisan and aggressive way, meaning,
you know, look at what these psychos have done to us,
(05:46):
look at what's gone on. This is about winning, right
If you want to be able to govern, if you
want the Trump agenda to become a reality, you have
to win, and you want to win by the largest
margin possible. You certainly want to have the House and
the Senate under a publican control and so what's the
most effective messaging right now to that end, I think
is what's going to be driving a lot of what
(06:07):
we see at the RNC. And I also think that
there's a sense from the Democrats they don't know what
their countermessaging should be. And perhaps the best single example
of that is when I flicked on the TV this
morning to see what the Democrat headquarters of Mourning Joe
(06:29):
had to offer, like, what are the left wing talking
points today?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What are they going to say? Clay? There was no Joe,
there was no Mica. I was sitting there, I'm like,
where is Joe? Where is Mika? What is going on here?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And it turns out they wouldn't allow them to have
their show today. I think it might even be longer
than just today, but it's definitely today. The NBC News brass,
you know, the higher ups, the executives, were too worried
that morning Joe would have on one of its usual
lunatics who have been saying the Trump is Hitler stuff,
(07:03):
and that, given what happened over the weekend, might be
a particularly bad look for the network, and so on
the biggest news day of the year. In some ways,
the biggest Democrat partisan show on TV at least is
not able to air.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It might be the biggest Monday of Morning Joe's entire
political TV existence. We were talking about this off air.
If we had gotten a call and they had said, hey,
the news is too important right now, you guys aren't
going to be on today, you and I would have
(07:41):
lost our minds.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
No way we would. It's not happening.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And I can only imagine that Joe Scarborough and Mika
Brazinski and all the people that are on their show.
What an incredible indictment of their entire program that on
the day that Buck s Ex wakes up on the
Monday after an assassination attempt, as the Republican Convention begins again.
(08:06):
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say this is
potentially the biggest Monday. I guarantee you when our ratings
come out, this is going to be one of the
most listened to shows that we have ever had, because
oftentimes this tracks with television news. When people care about news,
they listen more, they consume more. I think you have
(08:27):
to quit if they don't let you on to do
your show on the biggest day of maybe your career now,
not to sound like Mourning Joe's lawyer, but I'm about
to There is an impossible situation though, because they have
been telling their audience that Trump is an existential threat
(08:48):
to the degree where it is not possible for Mourning
Joe to extend correct sympathy, to extend.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
You know, it would seem like a betrayal to their
audience to have even this just the most basic human
decency extended toward Donald Trump in this moment. They can't
do that. That morning Joe is incapable of doing that
because you can't tell people for years Trump is Hitler
(09:17):
and then open your show on Monday with well, we're
glad you know Hitler is okay, and the country should
come together around Hitler right now.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So there's where do you take that? Where do you go?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
And that's why I actually understand why the executives over
there pull that show off the air. But it's indicative
of the entire media democrat ecosystem where they don't believe
this stuff that they say. They don't believe the narratives
they presented about Trump is a.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Threat to democracy and the threat to our future, and
he's going to destroy the entire country, and we sit
here said Joe Biden is too olden senile, which is
objectively true.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
He's a crappy president. People have gotten poor. The border's
wide open.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
But I don't think you know, I don't sit here
and say if Joe Biden wins, there's no more country.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And they have normalized hysteria.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
They've actually mandated hysteria in the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And they don't believe the arguments that they're making. This
is really important, but enough of their audience does that
you can have assassination attempts like what happened to Trump.
I know they're saying, oh, we can't talk about the
motive and everything else. If you try to blow somebody's
head off, you're not a fan of them. Show me
(10:30):
in history where someone has tried to blow someone's head off,
and they have been big fans. I'm not familiar. You know,
when Caesar got stabbed by everybody in the Senate, it
wasn't a group hug. When Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK,
he wasn't a big JFK fan. When Abraham Lincoln got
(10:51):
shot in Ford's Theater by John Wilkes Booth, John Wilkes
Booth wasn't like man, you know who I love and
thinks the greatest president of all time, Abraham Lincoln. You
don't try and murder the person that you love. We
got breaking I'm sorry, breaking in with breaking news. Here
from Fox News is Aisha Hasney North Dakota Governor Doug
(11:12):
Doug Bergham. I can report to you now via Fox
News Aisha Hasney.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Doug Burgham. Everybody is not your VP. Whoa whoa? There
for a minute, Hager, you like it?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I was actually thinking, is that the way the VP
news is gonna break?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Are you kidding me? Trump? No way, he would let
it go down.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Like by the way, Maury Povitch too, Remember that not
the father. Remember out there the way you just delivered that.
You know, the guys start dancing around. You are not
You are not the father. So we have Marco Rubio eliminated,
we have Doug Bergham eliminated.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So I'm gonna tell you something that's that to me
sounds crazy and I'm not in I am not in
any way on this train. But I do have people
who are texting me without you know, they're they're off
the record, or you know, without attribution whatever. I can't
say who it is, but people are texting me who
(12:15):
are saying there may be They're they're telling me that
RFK Junior is in contention at this point, and that's
what Trump means by somebody the media is not talking about,
which I don't buy that.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I just want to be clear. I think it's going
to be Jade Vance.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I've said that all along, but Burgham out, Rubio out.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
According to reports, this all could change too.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Trump could call them back and be like, actually, people
are saying so we'll have to see. But I'm I'm
feeling pretty good about my Jdvan's prediction right now.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, So if Martha McCollum's right that those were the
final four, now there could be to your point, RFK Junior.
There's obviously the Vey Kramaswami out there. There could be
a surprise candidate, but this would suggest that it's JD
Vance or Glenn Youngki and based on those final four,
and again there are reports that RFK Junior is also
(13:09):
in the community. Let meet you with the live odds
buck your boy. JD Vance forty eight percent. Doug Bergum
was the second favorite. He's now out, So hold on,
we got a new announcement here to This is from
Bill Mlugin.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He says, the VP.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Is going to be announced at four to twenty seven pm.
I think we have audio here is this right? Cut
twenty seven? This is the team putting this together.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Why for twenty seven pm?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Why does it say just added number twenty seven? Bill
Malugin saying the VP will be announced at four to
twenty seven pm.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
We do have it, all right? Can we play that audio?
Speaker 6 (13:50):
According to a Trump campaign source, the VP pick has
been made. We're gonna find out who that person is
or the first time we're going to see them on camera,
we're told is at four thirty seven PM during a
roll call. It's possible we will find out who that
person is before that on camera appearance, but Fox News
(14:10):
can report according to a Trump campaign source, the VP
has been selected. Now it's just a matter of time
finding out who that person is, and we are told
the first time we will see them is at four
thirty seven pm during the roll call here at the RNC.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
All right, betterre you go, breaking news four thirty seven
pm Eastern at a minimum, boys out a little bit
over two hours from.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Now, young Kin is surging right now. That's also interesting.
Young Kin is surging in the betting markets. I'm just saying, goodness,
this is like the Apprentice. It's mister Trump told us
it was going to be a fun show. Well, we
got a couple of hours until we know who might
well be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
We don't know, you don't know, I don't know how
many people know. We'll be back breaking it down for
you in just a moment. In the meantime, the Prize

All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. We are
here at the r NC.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There is I mean, if we're going to beat a
live event like this, you gotta say there's electricity in
the air.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yes, that's right, that's the classic. There's electricity in the air.
There really is, though, and people.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Are very aware of the fact that this feels quite
different that there's a a focus on what's going on here,
even above and beyond what was expected for the obvious
reasons of the events of the last few days.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So we're going to be joined here as we are
throughout the whole week. Remember Clay and I are here
in Milwaukee for the week. We are going to be
joined by our friend Cash Patel. He's got a documentary
that people can see here, a Government Gangsters, I believe
it is called.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So we'll talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
But also he knows Trump well on the whole top
team of Trump advisors, and so we'll look at that.
And Clay, I'm.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Just continuing to seriously, you look at the VP refreshing.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm thinking, is morning Joe gonna be on tomorrow morning?
Like how long is the band gonna last? You know
what I mean? How long is the You.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Guys are are clown show liars. You can't actually go
on air this week? How long is that gonna last?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I don't know? But again to refresh, it is a
Prentice style. Doug Bergum and Marco Rubio have been notified
that they are not the VP, So jd vance Glenn
Youngkin mystery candidate.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We'll talk about that with cash and more.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
When we come back and start to break down, we're
gonna know the VP here very very shortly.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
There's a new.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Credit card that's being seen in these parts of Wisconsin
this week. It's from Coin back by Visa, a credit
card dedicated to advancing conservatism and conservative causes coins spelled.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
This part's really important co O I g n.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
It was created to be a credit card company you
can rely on. Coin reinforces conservative values and embraces the
American spirit. They do that by donating a portion of
every purchase to conservative causes. You also earn one percent
cash back awards on every purchase you make. Clay and
I have both signed up to get our coin credit cards.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Welcome back in, Clay, Travis Buck Sexton Show final half
hour Monday edition, live from Milwaukee. As drama builds on
who the vice president will be. We are joined now
by Kosh Ptel, who I bet is going to have
a role in the new Trump administration. He can play
coy about it. I bet Buck you would bet on
that as well. First, let's start here. What are you
(19:14):
asking Cash?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
What he wants?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Weather it will be in So let's start here. Expected
VP announcement very very soon. Buck went jd Vance months ago.
To his credit, jd Vance now out to seventy percent
odds in the favor of being the nominee. Do you
think it's going to be jd Vance or do you
think that you know Trump? Is there some sort of
(19:38):
surprise that is still out there on the horizon.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
I think the genius of Trump, whoever he picks, is
that there's always going to be multiple candidates until the
very last second. And that's just how he operates because
he looks and reads the room. I mean, look at
the gravity of what we just went through in the
last forty eight hours, right, I mean that magnet monumentally
changed the scene. What I've said to him and when
I said publicly is the same thing I said. It
doesn't matter who you pick, you're gonna pick the best candidate.
(20:01):
But my Mickey Mouse opinion is, don't pick someone who's
going to run for your job the second you announced him.
Don't pick someone who's going to be your number two.
And in the White House we're gonna have to fight
the same fights we did with Mike Pence, who's trying
to have your job every day and as staff leaking
all the time.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
That's the most important thing to me. It's not really
a quality test because the quality we have on the
menu is incredible.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
So this is an important part I think of the
future for Trump and obviously therefore for the country. Cash
You were acting chief of staff at d D under Trump, right,
so you've seen what personnel at a high level the
Trump administration was like people. Trump himself has said that
he had some choices. I mean, you just mentioned the
vice president who was running for president until he came
(20:44):
on this show and Clay asked him, Now, I was
gonna say, not a few questions, one question a few times.
That pretty much ended the end of that trajectory, whatever
it was for his run. Is Trump going to put
the right people in the right places this time. Are
you confident does he have the right people advice seeing
him about who should go where? The additional you know,
he's the I don't know if you're a chess guy,
(21:05):
but you know he's the king. But he needs to
have the bishops and the knights and the Rooks and
everybody else in place too.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
No, you're absolutely right. You can't just go top level.
You got to go rungs down the ladder at every
agency and department. And the good news is the bench exists.
The bench is now known. The bench is out there.
And for me, I think there's a separation between how
campaigns are run and how white houses are run. Right
we're in full campaign mode. And that's not my expertise
or fora but I do believe that the president from
the first administration and what the media and the justice
(21:31):
system has done to him, has now been very attuned
to what is required in the next administration. People keep
telling me, like, you're a Trump loyals Trump layist, is like,
I don't even know what that means. All I'm meant
for is to follow the lawful orders of the commander
in chief. Because Donald Trump is my boss. I'm a
senior advisor still, so obviously I'm biased. But that's what
that's what people need to do, whether it's ag FBI,
(21:52):
whoever comes in at those positions. They can't come in
and do a Bill bar or Mark Espergina Haskell or
Rod Rosenstein. They can't come in and undercut him and
threaten to wear and going to the Oval office and
videotape and audiotape and President put him under legal surveillance.
That's the type of stuff we were up against.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
When you saw what happened on Saturday, where were you
the assassination attempt? What was your reaction not only to
what you saw? Did it surprise you, but also to
the courage and bravery that Trump showed?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Did that? What was your reaction? Kind of take us
off to your impressions.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
So I was at the hotel room with the Nevada
delegation who I'm here with with the chairman, and somebody
called me and said, hey, Trump just got shot. I
was like what, that's not really funny. And then we
flipped on the TV and I was like, oh my god,
and you know, a million different strengths.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
He was gone for a second for about two or
three minutes, I was worried that he was gone.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
You know, when you hear the President's shot, that's yeah,
you're like, did you go to the scariest place? Of course,
just a natural reaction. You don't want it to be true.
But then as soon as the TV turned on and
he gave that fist bump, I was like, my man
is not even good to go. He is outrageously good
to go, And and that like, I mean, you want
to talk about two ends of the spectrum. I'm down here.
The second I see he gets here, he gets shot.
(23:01):
The any ways, the fist crowd goes USA, and I go,
this guy is living in a world that can only
be led by him. I mean, it was just an
amazing scene to see that. In fifteen seconds, literally fifteen seconds,
you saw the lowest of the low and the highest
of the high.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I still can't believe he did it, by the way, Yeah,
I mean it was so courageous and I have never
been I was fired up, like the way I was
watching Braveheart when William Wallace throws the sword up in
the air, except this was real lighte.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yes, see, this was really happening. This was Hollywood movie.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
It outdid whatever moments of you know, political glory you
thought of in the past in movies.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
No, there is no warrior like that. And he may
be a political warrior, but he is a warrior in
a class of his own. You know, I'm coming from
a world of guys who used to be Special Forces operators.
Those guys are warriors. I'm coming from a world of
guys who wear the badger, wear the uniform. Those guys
and gals are warriors. But Donald Trump is a warrior
in his own league. There is no one else in it.
There's no one else's tough and smart he is. And
what he did in the twenty four hours afterwards let
(24:03):
the world know that he is not backing down and
that he wants to unify this country. I thought he
sees the moment better than any script, any Hollywood film
could have ever done. And the world is rallying behind him.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
What do you think the Biden campaign thought when they
saw that video? I mean, because I'll be honest, First
of all, Joe Biden, we know could never you know,
in any way behave in that fact, can barely move
right now. But if there were a Democrat president and
for Sinda, this was not Trump, and they reacted in
that way.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I would say the exact same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I'm saying, now, this is the baddest ass thing we
have ever seen an American president or an American president
sill contender do in my life, maybe in anybody's life
that's listening. I just I just picture them seeing that
and being like, the race is over, right like this.
There was a story buck about when Ronald Reagan gave
the point to hoak speech and he was running in
(24:58):
against Mondel, and Mondell's campaign watched the speech and they
were like, yeah, we're gonna get smoked. They were like,
this race is over because that was just such a
majestic speech at the right time. To me, I watched
that and I'm saying, there's no way you can come
back from this.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
I think they're inaction defined there. Biden's inaction defines what
they were thinking. I mean, if you were the commander
in chief of the free world and you saw your
opponent and former president get shot, yes, what you should
do is get on the TV immediately. He waited hours
to address the nation. They waited hours to put out
a statement because that's what they wanted. They wanted that
vacuum filled by crazy, outrageous statements that they could then
(25:36):
politicize what they should have done. Their inaction speaks more
than their action does for them not to get on
the horn and say, right away, we hope Donald Trump's okay.
Right away we spoke to him, and right away we
are going to figure out what happened to him. I mean,
his press conference and his Oval office.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Address was shameful, Fir commandergy in the same way that
you could tell the political ideological leanings of media outlets
based on what whether they did things like CNN saying,
you know, Trump at rally, here's pop pop and falls down.
I mean, it was disgraceful the way that they initially
(26:11):
they actually wrote like falls down or something, and it
was gunfire then falls down.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I've got them both, Yau. They're so bad because I
knew they were going to change him. Trump injured in
incident at Pennsylvania Round that CNN I saw it. Secret
Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.
This is why the people hate the media, and this
is why people who say we are are wrongfully attacking
the media we're asking them to put out the truth.
The world is watching and you can't. There's a videotape,
(26:35):
everyone is watching and you can't put the truth there.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
But in that moment, you can tell who's who and
what they believe based on how they reported on it.
Same thing with Joe Biden when he's asked the question
it was just an assassination, and he muttered something about
I don't have all the facts. Yes, someone tried to
shoot Donald Trump. What other facts do you need to
know that this and him and hit him?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yeah, And this is a initial for what an assassination
attempt is. And Joe Biden needs more facts. What are
the facts would you need other than He didn't want
to make that concession in the moment because he's so
partisan and so pathetic, And I think that that just
shows you Biden's character. It's even more than just the
fact that this guy is to mention, he's not a
(27:18):
good guy.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
How pathetic.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Having said, we're very fortunate that Trump is still alive,
Unfortunately one man isn't who went to the rally, two
people severely injured in the shooting.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
How much of a failure.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Is it that we allowed Donald Trump's life to come
literally within an inch or less of ending due to
complete it seems to me complete operational failure in terms
of protecting him. What's your reaction on that as more
of those details have come out.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
As look, I've done fifty trips with the president around
the country overseas when he was in office. Since he's
been out of office, I know the Secret Service guys
really well. And it is a mechanical failure of epic proportions.
And here's the thing. I have an op ed coming
out later on it. You know, we cannot rely, in
my opinion, on this FBI and this DOJ who set
up Donald Trump and tried to weaponize justice against him
(28:07):
to kneecap and politically and take them out of the race.
We cannot say, oh, let them do their investigation. We
cannot have Congress, where we have a Republican majority in
the House, say let the FBI DJ investigate. No, they
lost that mandate. And also Congress is a coequal, coordinate
branch of government. So I outline an entire investigative process.
I don't want to get out of the facts. I
don't want to say it was this person's fault. Or
that group's fault or lack of funding or lack of resources.
(28:28):
I want to find out the answers, and they should
be giving the American people those answers on a daily
basis in the well of Congress, saying we found this,
and not let the deep state, FBI, DOJ hide behind.
It's classified. We can't tell you. We the people run
Congress and we the people run the executive Branch.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Where's that off ed going up?
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Actually, I don't know. My publiciers put it out.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I got to find Well, if you need somewhere to
publish it, I'd like to publish it at out Kick
if you need somewhere. Because we've been talking about this,
I don't understand how we can allow the FBI that's
trying to put Trump in prison for the rest of
his life to also simultaneously be investigating who tried to
kill him. That is such a conflict that's readily apparent.
I'm surprised more people aren't pointing it out.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
You're right on it.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
No, and the Speaker of the House. Look, I'm not
calling out Mike John's I've known him a long time.
I think he's a great guy. But he has the
authority and the ability to say we are going to
conduct a parallel investigation. I'm not saying you got to
shut down the FBIDJ, but you go in there and
you get every memorandum. There's an issue of whether or
not Trump asked for Secret Service. I know that his
people did ask for augmentation over the years, and what
(29:27):
did Secret Service do came in over the top and said, no,
that's a lie. Okay, let's see the memorandus because if
that rask is made, it's papered, not lately, heavily, over
and over and over again. So where the emails, where
are the documents? Show the American people that and don't
summarize to me a political cover up job. You guys
covered up Russiagate, You covered up the insurrection narrative, You
covered up Hunter Biden's laptop, You covered up fifty one
(29:47):
Intel letter. You lost the mandate of truth and credibility
with the American people in Congress. As our only hope, Cash,
you're gonna have to help Trump clean up the swamp?
You ready for Listen, I'm all in for helping the
president get elected. And if I have the opportunity he
gives me a call on November fifth to say, hey,
can you come back in. I'm all in one hundred
and ten percent wherever he wants me.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Outstanding stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
We appreciate you and the work you're doing now and
hopefully we'll be doing in the near future.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I want to tell you.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
We are closing up shop here today at the RNC
live on the Clan Buck Show with our friend Nick
Adams joining us here. He's the CEO of the Foundation
for Liberty and American Greatness and an official surrogate of
the Trump twenty twenty four campaign, and has a very
cool accent, which is an unfair advantage in all radio situations.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Mister Nick Adams, good to see you.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Good I Buck, great to be here with you and
play enjoying it. What an atmosphere, What a context that
we're mating.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, there really is a just a sense of history
this week. I know they probably say that at every
r and SEE and probably every DNC too, because you know,
communists of.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
History as well. But this feels real.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
This is this is a time when I think that
the country is looking to see where things are going.
And I think Donald Trump and some of the speeches
we hear this week will really matter and be remembered.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
And so to the vice presidential pick that we're eagerly
awaiting any any moment, I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I mean, you're here, but there's like a are we you.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Know, look, are you able to I don't think you
could serve I'm not sure I could either. But you
know what, if I'm asked, I will say what everyone
is meant to say, and that is I serve it
the pleasure of the president.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
So I'm going to be interesting to see who he picks.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I've got a gut feeling we're going to be surprised.
I think it's going to be Glenn Younkin, Governor Younkin
from Virginia.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
That would be my second choice right now.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I mean, I mean second likeliest, I think in my mind,
because you know, Rubio and Bergham have both been over
the course of the show today ruled out yes.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
And I know jd Vance all the talk's been on him,
but I don't know. I think the president likes a
little bit of a surprise, and my sources are telling
me that in the last few days he has been
very quickly ascending the latter So let's see, let's see. Look,
to be honest with you, I don't think it's going
to make much of a difference. I think whoever he
picks is going to make a nominal difference.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
In the campaign.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
But you need a vice president because you need a
vice president when you're leading.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
By the way, breaking news, Trump to announce VP pick
at RNC at three thirty Central, four thirty EASTERNO. So
the drama builds. Now you are Nick Adams. Alpha male
extraordinaire was Donald Trump's response to the assassination attempt, the
most alpha male response in the history of the modern day.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I mean, American President.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Clay, you couldn't write, you couldn't create, you couldn't script
anything remotely close to being as perfect an alpha male
reaction as Don Trump. Imagine taking a bullet near going down,
not because no, I reckon he could have stood. I
think he went down because he thought there might be
another one. But he goes down and he gets up
(34:14):
and immediately it's like, yeah, yeah, wait, give me my
shoes and then repeatedly pumps his fist in the air,
mouthing or even shouting fight and that continue. And then
my favorite part is as he's going off the steps,
then he really and it's almost turns into actual, you know,
(34:35):
shadow boxing.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
How many women that hate Trump were secretly enamored and
in love with that response? Honestly, like the most feminist
person out there, a lot of these I can't play
Travis question right, guarantee you they were actually like, Clay,
my god, I love this, even know they're pretending that
they don't.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Rachel Madow loved it. Clay.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Believe that American men everywhere on Saturday Night got lucky.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Okay, I think Donald Trump puts them all.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
In the skyrocketed for every man out there because women everywhere.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Or that's the Donald Trump effect. They said, I want
a strong man. I just saw a strong man. Give
me my strong man. Oh this is the baby making.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
The rates of children nine months from today are going
to skyrocket because of Trump's alpiness.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
I predict the population of the United States will get
a slight bump in nine months time.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I'm yeah, but I think.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
That's a crazy idea. So we got the VP in
what an hour and a half from now? Am I
doing the math correct?
Speaker 8 (35:44):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Does it actually matter?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
He said before I'll hand our our good friend mister
McAdams the floy here at the end.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Why would it matter if it does matter?
Speaker 4 (35:56):
It would matter if it does matter, if what happened
on Saturday actually is successful.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I meant for the ticket, Sorry meant what's the advantage
that could be brought here in the campaign.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Well, we in the campaign.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I think it's not going to be as significant as
it would be in governance. But in the campaign, it
depends where the candidate, what the state is that the
candidate resides in, leads in, has got a record in.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
It would depend on the strength I think.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
I think President Trump is going for someone that he
can depend on, and Mike Pence really disappointed him. I
think he wants to choose someone that will never make
him feel disappointed.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Because is it possible to be an alpha male and
stand in line alone to get ice cream?
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Ice Cream is the best thing on earth. If you
don't eat ice cream, you're a beater.
