 One campaign may be ending. Lisa Brady, Fox News. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to make an announcement after his running mate hinted he might drop out of the race and back former President Trump. Kennedy will speak in Arizona, where the former president rallies later today. But first, Trump will visit a Las Vegas restaurant.  He's likely to double down on his message that he would like to end federal taxes on tips. It's an idea that has generated a lot of buzz on the campaign trail, but is also getting a lot of attention specifically here in Nevada. You've got so many hospitality workers who rely on their tips to make their living, and we expect the Trump campaign is only going to try to keep that message front and center going forward.  Fox's Mark Meredith in Las Vegas. Trump has accused Vice President Kamala Harris of copying his no tax on tips proposal. Five Secret Service agents are now on administrative leave after the Trump assassination attempt last month. We can tell you that of the five, one of those people was an agent on former President Trump's property.  personal protective detail in the former president's security bubble, if you will. The other four were from the Pittsburgh field office, including the special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh field office, which is significant for those who have been calling for accountability for those that were involved in that colossal security failure in Butler, Pennsylvania. They have this now to point to.  Fox's David Spunt. In Washington, multiple investigations of the shooting and security failures continue, including the new probe by a bipartisan task force in Congress. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson taking a victory lap after his city's hosting of the Democratic National Convention, praising police and the Secret Service. There were individuals who were rooting against Chicago.  And they were rooting for violence and chaos. Johnson says they proved critics wrong with no repeat of the riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention. This week's protests, many over the war in Gaza, were largely peaceful.

Delegates from both sides of the political fence will be out and about rallying to get voters to the polls in November. Now that their national conventions are over. With the election expected to boil down to independence, Democrats and Republicans must appeal to voters in a positive way so they're motivated to actually vote. That's the word from Dr. Susan McManus, who expects both parties to stick to specific talking points. The Democrats are really going to stress the reproductive rights.  And in Florida, there are 13% more Democratic women than men. In terms of the Republicans, they are going to still stick high with the economy. She expects they'll focus on immigration, crime, and unemployment as well. Tomorrow, Florida Democrats are rallying for reproductive rights in Tampa.  Wendy Grossman, Miami. Recount will be conducted today in the St. Lucie County election supervisor race. Republican primary is tied after Jennifer Fry led by just two points on election night. The ultimate winner of the race will face Democratic election supervisor Gertrude Walker in November. Meanwhile, she has the task of handling the recount.  We're still in the process of doing the logic and accuracy test of the equipment to be used in the recount. Once the test is completed, we'll begin with the recount. Walker tells CBS 12 they have until Sunday to finish the machine recount, and if a manual recount is needed afterward, that will take place on Sunday. The results have to be certified by Wednesday. Congressman Brian Mast is pushing the Department of Environmental Protection for transparency.  Republican is complaining about the way the agency is handling its public comment period with regards to a plan to build things like golf courses inside state parks.

Join me tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. for the latest local news, weather, traffic, and interviews from up and down the Keys with Good Morning Keys. Tomorrow morning on Keys Talk 96.91025.  Welcome back in. Final hour of the week. We appreciate all of you hanging out with us, especially since it has been a long week with the Democrat National Convention going late into the night, especially if you were on the East Coast, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, four days of infomercials for Kamala Harris and the Democrats completed by Kamala Harris's address last night, 37 minutes long.  All fluff, all emotion, almost no policy. As we enter into, I think it's fair to call the official election campaign, although for many people that really begins the day after Labor Day ends when summer is complete, kids are going back to school. But we're getting very, very close to that. And I would say, given the fact that we now allow early voting,  by mid-September in some locations, we are well into the process here of basically determining who the next president of the United States is going to be. And as we are speaking to you right now, there is an expectation this hour that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is in third place with around 5% of the vote, more or less than that, depending on some of the states,  He is scheduled to speak. We expect him to drop out. There is also an expectation that he may well endorse Donald Trump today. We talked to J.D. Vance earlier. Encourage you to go subscribe to the podcast. He was on with us in the 1 p.m. Eastern hour about an hour ago. J.D. Vance told us that he did not know for sure what the outcome would be. As we speak to you, Buck.  In the gambling markets, which I love to look at, over $700 million now has been bet on who the next president of the United States will be. Trump is leading Kamala Harris 50% to 49%. So we are talking about an absolute dead heat as we come down now the stretch run here with the conventions both over.  RFK Jr., again, expected to speak soon, and we will see what, if anything, comes out of that speech that is significant. But I did want to mention this and really kind of dive into it. We've already broken down Kamala's absence of any policy, the fact that they are clearly trying to hide her, that this is a vibe election, not an issues election.  and that they are trying to run as if Donald Trump is still president, much like the campaign they ran in 2020. But I did think this was significant last night. Brian Kemp, the governor of Georgia, went on with Sean Hannity on his program and said that it was vitally important for Donald Trump to be elected and that he was going to work as hard as he possibly could to ensure that that took place in Georgia.  And then Trump went on last night with Martha McCollum and Brett Baier after Kamala Harris spoke and made a strong endorsement of Brian Kemp. And he also went on Twitter last night and said, Thank you to Brian Kemp, Georgia, for all of your help and support in Georgia, where a win is so important to the success of our party and, most importantly, our country.  I look forward to working with you, your team, and all my friends in Georgia to help make America great again. Okay, this is a big deal. And maybe the most consequential news to come out of yesterday from a Republican perspective.  is Kemp and Trump coming back together in a kumbaya moment just in time to make sure that Trump wins the state of Georgia. They have put in place many different new policies. Buck, I've spent a lot of time in Georgia. I worked as hard as I could to try to get Herschel Walker elected there. But Kemp won by seven and a half or eight points against Stacey Abrams.  Everybody else statewide won for the Republican Party. Trump is favored. Trump should win Georgia. If he wins Georgia and North Carolina, and I think he'll win both of those states, which would sweep basically much of the South. We'll see what happens in Virginia. But everywhere else in the South goes Trump.  Then he really puts Kamala Harris in a difficult spot. If he flips Georgia and holds North Carolina, then you can look at a lot of different ways that Trump could win the presidency because there would still be Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.  five other battleground states on the map that we know of, and Trump's pathway might include only needing to win one of those if it was Pennsylvania, but Georgia's vitally important. He has to win Georgia to have a pathway to the presidency. I don't know that a lot of people are talking about it, but as we wait for RFK Jr. 's announcement, to me, for Republicans, that was the most consequential news from yesterday.  I think it also shows you that Trump recognizes the stakes and some of the discipline that people often want. You know, you've got to let Trump be Trump.  Well, who he is and how he does things is that he lets it fly. But I do think he also recognizes that in his final stretch, allies like Kemp in states that are critical for him are an important thing to have. And so you'll see more of that, I'm quite certain.  that while it's unlikely that you will have... It's almost zero chance that you'll have some kind of a knockout blow moment in the upcoming... Remember, what are we from the first debate now for Trump and Congress? It's got to be September 10th. I mean, just a couple of weeks. Yeah, three weeks from now, basically. So I do think, though, that that will be...  Maybe it'll cost Kamala a percentage point or two. And that's really where we are. We're essentially at the place where we had assumed all along we would be, which is, you know, you've got roughly 48 percent of the country are Democrats who are all in. Roughly 48 percent are Republican Trump voters who are all in.  And then you're fighting over the last little bits, you know? I mean, you're fighting over who's going to get to the two, three, four percentage points of difference. So I think that that's going to favor Trump. I really do believe that Kamala, the absolute peak, has already passed. If you start to see Kamala surging in two weeks, then even I would start to be a little bit concerned.  But everything right now already with the election week and, I mean, I'm sorry, that DNC week having passed, it seems like it'll be relatively quiet. And this RFK, you know, we're all sort of sitting here. We're like the, you know, we're like the announcers who are waiting for the game to start. It's a little bit delayed. But the announcement that we expect from RFK Jr., again, if it...  has any market movement in the polls or any decipherable, discernible movement in the polls for Donald Trump, very good sign for him. Very good sign for where this election is heading. And, you know, I still have a lot of faith. I think that the stuff that people are concerned about with regard to ad buys and all of that,  You know, we'll see. You know, Trump has got a lot of money and the campaign, I think, is getting more. I was going to say getting more dialed in than ever. Well, I hope so, because it's almost September. But I think that things overall are probably probably looking pretty good. And I also say this. I just can't imagine waking up in a in a country where Kamala Harris has become the president of the United States.  I didn't feel that way. It wasn't some huge shock when Barack Obama beat John McCain, for example. I wasn't like, oh my, I could have never. I was like, yeah, I thought that one was coming. It didn't surprise me at all. When Barack beat McCain, that was expected. If Kamala Harris managed to beat Donald Trump, and at a certain level, I think also with Biden, because of the COVID year,  You know, you knew that stuff was weird. You knew that stuff was not the way that it should be in that election. And that there was really a mass psychosis. America was suffering from a mass psychosis in 2020. Not all of us, but a lot of us. And so that meant that the outcome that we got, if unpalatable, was not completely unexpected or impossible seeming. To me, this one...  Because this would be really the defeat of, in a sense, the Trump movement and the collapse of the Republican Party machinery all at once. Because if you can't beat Kamala Harris running a three-month campaign, you're a joke. I mean, you're not really a contender. And so this is why, again, I have... What J.D. said, by the way, I completely agree with. I think he said something like, Trump's just got to...  keep on track or run his race or he said something like that. Just do what he has to do and he'll win. I think that's where we are. He has to do what he has to do and we will win. Economy, border crime. Let me play those cuts for you, by the way, because I do think this is consequential. You know we were saying that in 2022, right?  And we lost because of the democracy argument. So, you know, I agree with you. They have abandoned. I would say probably the most interesting aspect of Kamala Harris is 2022. Sorry, 2024 race compared to Biden is to a large extent. She's abandoned the democracy is at stake argument.  She really has. And we'll see, honestly, the welfare component. Even Alvin Bragg has said, hey, I don't oppose Trump's request to extend this sentencing decision in New York City in the bookkeeping felonies.  to after the election as opposed to September 18th. I think that is also a big story out here because I'm assuming that's directive from Kamala Harris saying this isn't playing very well for us. Here are those cuts, by the way, that we talked about. Here's Brian Kemp, cut 30, saying, hey, we must elect Donald Trump president last night on Sean Hannity's show.  Look, we got to win. We got to win from the top of the ticket on down. I've been saying consistently for a long time, we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. And I think Kamala Harris and Tim Walz would be even worse. So we need to send Donald Trump back to the White House. We need to retake the Senate. We need to hold the House. We need to hold our legislative majorities that we have in the great state of Georgia.  And then later on, right after Kamala Harris spoke, Trump went on, Brett Baier on Fox News asked him about Brian Kemp, and this was the response. Are you making a specific effort in Georgia to make up, if you will, with the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp?  Well, I just saw Brian on a very good man. Did you ever hear of a man named Sean Hannity? And he was interviewed by Sean Hannity. And he was very nice. And he said he wants Trump to win and he's going to work with me 100 percent. And I think we're going to have a very good relationship with Brian Kemp. And that was on just before you people went on.  So there we go. Let's hope that that's a kumbaya moment in Georgia because there is no pathway for Trump without winning Georgia, really. I think he's going to do it. I think he's going to win by a few points. We need a lot of Georgians active out there. But I think he's going to beat Kamala Harris in Georgia. I think he's going to win North Carolina. And then there are five states out there on top of those. And we will have to see exactly how they're all going to shake out. RFK Jr. Cruz still not speaking, right? We're still waiting for him.  He's milking the moment. RFK Jr. likes all the attention. We are sitting here, we are live with you, and we are waiting for the announcement so we can finally analyze it as a fait accompli instead of a likely situation. But we're watching it. I mean, he better do it while I'm on the show, darn it. He better not hold this until... Because I'm out all next week.  Come on, RFK. There's always a lot of news, it feels like, that breaks like five minutes after we finish this show. It feels like the 3 p.m. Eastern hour, especially on Friday, is a prime news-making window. That's the news dump hour. So anything bad for Democrats, for example, tends to go on right around 3.05, 3.30.  We'll bring you back, see if we can get RFK Junior news to happen in this hour.

We're on endorsement watch here on Clay and Buck. Looks like he's taking it to the wire, Clay. He's going up to the very end here. RFK Jr. will be addressing the nation, we're told, in about 20 minutes. So we have 35 minutes of show left, and RFK Jr. is supposed to take the stage in 20 minutes. Now, there are some additional...  information out there that's all pointing to the same conclusion clay will fill you on that breaking news in one second i'm just telling everyone farf k jr does do we think everyone seems to think he's going to do which is drop out and endorse trump it's going to be fun watching msnbc tonight i'm just telling i'm going right to msnbc i'm looking they're going to try to hide the panic obviously but i can i'll be able to see the panic in their eyes  So breaking news, this is according to the AP. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 's campaign said in a Pennsylvania court filing Friday he's endorsing Donald Trump for president.  That is the AP reporting that. Now, he is scheduled to speak, as Buck just said, at 2.45 Eastern. If you are out there and you're saying, okay, what's the impact of this? The math suggests that Trump would pick up about 2% in support if RFK Jr. drops out of the race and endorses him.  Given that we're talking about a race that may well come down to, as was the case in 2016 and as was the case in 2020,  100,000 votes, less than 100,000 votes, a 2% nationwide increase in the overall support for Donald Trump would be potentially seismic. Now, we've still got a ways to go, 70 some odd days, but having a Kennedy-endorsed Trump  It's a big deal. I mean, Buck, this is a really big deal. And again, the expectation is this is going to go public in about 20 minutes, but the AP is reporting that RFK Jr. is saying that he is going to be endorsing Trump in court filings out of Pennsylvania. Previously,  He's been battling to get on the ballot in Arizona, and he has ended that battle to get on the ballot in Arizona. So, if you are listening to us right now and you are otherwise an RFK Jr. voter, you're certainly welcome to weigh in, 800-282-2882, because this does feel like a very seismic move. Do you think that the reports that RFK and his team slapped down very aggressively, but  Do you believe any of those reports that he was actually fishing around for a Democrat position first and then? Or was that Democrats trying to poison the well a little bit before he could make his move with Trump? Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Look, if I were RFK Jr., I would want to talk to both parties before I made the decision about what I was going to do. Doesn't mean that I would endorse Kamala. But in the same way that I may think that I'm going to sell my house to one person, I want to talk to all the bidders before I make that decision.  Look, I'm away on vacation next week.
