Hour 3 - Online Troll Gets Cancelled 

Buck Sexton (0:01)

All right, welcome back in third hour Clay and Buck before we send you off for the last weekend that we will all enjoy before we know whether Tuesday is a night of jubilation or sadness, or perhaps something in between, which is the most likely outcome, I think. It'll be the best of times, it'll be the worst of times, depending on what state you really care about, or what election specifically, what contest you're watching most closely. I think, Clay, we're going to have a few wins that feel really good, we're going to have a few, a couple of wins that are going to sting, and then the rest will be sort of what was expected.

That's my belief. So it'll be a little bit of a mixed bag.

In the background of all of this, we've got something else to consider, and that is the likeliest 2028, according at least to the prediction markets, the likeliest 2028 candidates are out there, and by those candidates, I mean respectively JD Vance and Kamala Harris. So you're getting even, you might say, well, why do we care about this now? Because the election is Tuesday, because you're getting a preview of these individuals before we go all in on the primaries, which is going to be here before you know it. So this is, and because they're such a focus on politics right now, it's a little bit of an audition, I think, for 2028 that is underway. Here is some from JD Vance. He's going after, Clay, we talked about The New York Times and Ilhan Omar and that whole situation. This is cut seven. Listen to what the vice president has to say about that situation out on the campaign trail.

JD Vance (1:40)

When The New York Times says that you may be married to your brother and you're a Democrat, maybe you married your brother.

I mean, look, what we've tried to do in this case, and people always ask me, you know, what's going to happen? What's the result? And I say, I honestly don't know, because in the Trump administration, we don't prejudge, we let the facts and the law drive these decisions. But if you look at some of the people that we've gotten prosecutions of, I think you do see evidence that finally, an American government is taking the corruption seriously. And a lot of the public servants who have betrayed the public trust, they're being investigated, some of them are being prosecuted, and some of them are going to spend time in jail, because if you violate the public trust, that's what you should do.

Buck Sexton (2:18)

I think that's a strong answer, but I would just note, Clay, exactly what you had said, which is, we agree on this point, when The New York Times is having to report on it in a way that at all seems negative, it means it's looking really rough for Ilhan Omar at this point.

Clay Travis (2:33)

You and I talked, I think she's going to get indicted, and indicted is a little bit of a term of art there, because there may be challenges with-

SPEAKER_4 (2:44)

You think it'll be civil, right? You think it'll be civil or criminal?

Clay Travis (2:46)

There are challenges with the criminal, I think, unless they have discovered something new that is within the statute of limitations. But I do think that she's going to be removed from the United States, which is going to turn into an unbelievable story. As we just said, we have not seen, I don't believe, in any sort of modern era, a congressman kicked out of the country.

I do think that The New York Times covering this story and actually saying, oh, she did marry her brother, by the way, I think it's going to be so bad in the facts that are laid out in this discovery that eventually will go public, that I think Democrats are going to run from her and choose not to stand on the hill defending.

Buck Sexton (3:33)

That's where we disagree a little bit. I think they're going to at least throw up the defensive fortifications around her for a while. They may fail, which honestly, I would say is really what happened with Joe Biden. But anyway, I know we see that differently. Technically, you won that one.

But I think, Clay, they just, because the optics of abandoning a black Somali American congresswoman, although really just a Somali congresswoman, if in fact these allegations are true, she is not an American and there is no, if this is proven to be the case, if she obtained her status by fraud, there is no way to call her an American.
