Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome to our three of the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show right now up on Capitol Hill.
He got blink in Secretary of State blinking about to
be grilled. That's the term we all have to use, grilled,
(00:21):
or the Afghan exit debacle. But remember Democrats have been
telling everybody for the last couple of weeks it was
actually a stroke of brilliance by Biden. He's a hero,
he's amazing. One thing that I want to spend a
little more time on, if not today, suit is did
the bid administration because Clay I went on Fox right
(00:42):
after the horrible suicide bombing Incent that killed thirteen of
our American Marines and Navy corman and they said, oh,
Biden had claimed that the people that did this to
us were going to be held to account right away.
And I said, look, I was a CIA officer, I
know how this stuff goes. Finding who was responsible directly
(01:04):
and stopping the next attack would certainly be something that
would require tremendous intelligence capability that you tend not to
have in a chaotic withdrawal situation when all of your tools, sources,
and methods are going to be working in a frenzied state.
People on the ground aren't going to be able to
(01:25):
provide the same kind of information. And sure enough, now
we're told that maybe a hellfire missile strike that was
supposed to be stopping the next big suicide attack may
have killed an AID where this is from the New
York Times play may have killed an AID worker and
I believe seven family members, including children, which this I
(01:45):
find entirely tragically plausible because there was a political imperative
because Biden looked like an idiot and everyone knew it
and they couldn't hide from it, and we had just
lost thirteen Americans, so the Biden ministrate decides, so we
just got to go for it. We gotta hit a target.
We got to make sure we stop the next attack,
(02:05):
look like we're so they had two strikes, actually one
and I think it was Eastern Afghanistan against unnamed individuals,
as if we're supposed to take their word for it
that these were the masterminds. And then a strike that
they said was at the incoming suicide the next big
suicide bomb that was going to go off at the airport.
Now it looks like they blew up. We don't know
for sure, but a New York Times detailed analysis with
(02:28):
video and travel time stamps shows a guy who had
never been on the radar before of the US government,
seems to be an aid worker and definitely had a
bunch of kids with him, and they blew him up.
And I'm just if it were the Trump presidency and
this occurred, this specific incident, I am certain this would
be getting not just scrutiny, there'd be outrage over this,
(02:51):
no doubt. And I mean I give credit to the
New York Times for writing the piece and actually being
willing to look at all the evidence. And by the
way it came out on I bet we'll be one
of the only media outlets in the country to mention
it on Monday. I will say, even in the world
that we live in now, when you drop a story
(03:12):
on Friday afternoon headed into a weekend, it used to
be the tried and true way to bury bad news.
But when you got all the different activities that are
going on a Saturday and a Sunday by Monday, that
story is almost vanished. I mean, that's just the truth
of the world. That we live in. But it is
indicative of the overall failure of the Biden regime. Every
(03:34):
direction that you turn, they are failing. And that's why
he's out there desperately campaigning today for Governor Newsom because
he's trying to avoid he already lost one ally in
New York, trying to avoid Newsome being tied to the
failed COVID policies of the Biden administration. It's too hard
(03:56):
to make the case that you lose the governors of
your two biggest, most important blue states during COVID when
states were so important in the response, right, especially if
you believe that Trump, as the Democrats do, we was
so MIA, which was not true, and Operation Warp speed
is are all of a sudden erased from the memory
banks of all these people. But it's very hard to
make the case to anyone who's open minded and paying
(04:17):
attention at least that the Democrats in the most important
states did a good job with COVID when you're losing
I know that for Cuomo was for sexual assent, but
you're losing both of your most important governors from a
state an electoral perspective, and I'm just on the Afghanistan thing.
The narrative right now would be if Donald Trump were
president and you had the same fact pattern through the
month of August and the same situation A played on
(04:39):
Afghanistan up to this drone strike with a hellfire missile
on a car load full of people, it would have
been Donald Trump to distract from you know how awful
he is. Blew up a car load full of children.
That's what a monster he is. You're nothing like this
about the current commander in chief. I mean, I know
people say, oh, the inte community in the military. Yeah,
(05:01):
but when there's pressure from the White House do anything
to stop this and you have orders to go the
first moment you think, you know when the next attack is,
this kind of stuff happens, and it you know, the
buck stops with the commander in chief on this right,
This is a kind of incident that would be treated
very differently anyway. I just I didn't want us to
go without mentioning that, at least because most media are
(05:21):
not going to watching it by Monday, because it had
the story came out on Friday and then it's gone.
It just goes to the desperation of the Biden administration
as well to look less absurd in the face of
all the Afghanistan lack of planning and the debacle of
people running on the tarmac and trying to get people
out of there. Although we've got Lincoln faces furious lawmakers
over Afghan exit. That's right now the headline on Fox
(05:45):
News as Capitol Hill testimonies happening. I'm just going to
skip to the end on this for everybody. Nobody in
the Bide administration is getting fired. If they resign, it'll
be in months after they've gotten their book deal from
some big publisher and they've got you know, the count
on Foreign Relations giving them some nice little sinecure or whatever. Right,
that's that's when no one's gonna be held accountable. So
(06:06):
all the histrionics you're gonna hear on Capitol Hill right
now from whoever it is in the Republican side about
oh my gosh, and why didn't you plan and why
didn't you you know the Democrats are doing. They're looking
at them and saying, yeah, what are you gonna do
about it? We're gonna be talking about the insurrection for
the next twelve months. What are you gonna do about it?
That's their approach well. And also the blanket discussion arguably
provides cover for the budget details that are continuing to
(06:31):
come out that we talked about earlier, where you know,
suddenly people in New York are paying over sixty percent
tax increase tax rate, and people are not focused on
that because the outrage over Afghanistan or whatever the latest
daily news cycle is obscures the larger, more complete trillion
(06:52):
dollar Bernie budget that is moving through that is going
to screw I think the economy buck. We were just
talking about inflation a bit in the last hour. The
New York Fed has now come out and said that
their inflation targets are five point two percent this year.
(07:12):
Five point two percent now this is the New York
Federal Reserve, and four percent over the next three years
with large expected price rises in food, rent, and medical cost.
Poor people are thinking, oh, we're getting these tax refunds,
these tax checks, everything else. They're immediately getting eaten up
(07:35):
by inflation, which acts as a default tax increase on
everyone but impacts the poor who have the least financial
ability the most. This is Jimmy Carter two point zero again,
Federal Reserve, five point two percent inflation in one year,
four percent in three years. That is the highest level
(07:58):
of inflation that many of us have seen in our lives,
those of us who were born either at the tell
end or or after the Carter administration. I know a
lot of people out there listening to us, remember that.
But that's where we are. This is where Joe Biden's
And it's not just pages, it's not just food in
the store. It's also going to affect. This is what happens.
(08:18):
So you print money. This is cause and effect, right,
we can all see it. We all know. This is
a function. Play likes the data. This is a function
of the math. And what ends up happening is you
have an increase in home prices at home you want
to buy, or maybe you know that that place you
want to rent, even it's going to get more expensive.
But also your investments. I mean, if you live off
(08:39):
of an annuity for example, of some kind, if you
have if you're somebody that's that's in some kind of
a defined pension plan, understand that. You know, if you
think you're making you know, you see that percentage and
a lot of these programs in four oh one ks
and things like that you have built into it, Oh,
it's going to be x percent a year. Well, you
start losing five percent a year to inflation. I mean
(09:00):
the money you're putting into a savings account that you
think you're getting. I mean, I don't know what. It's
less than one percent, right, it's point something something percent.
You're actually going negative five percent over here. So you're
working your butt off, you're putting your money away. You're
thinking I'm doing things to the right day and Uncle
Sam is actually you know, like the squirrels in your
(09:21):
attic getting into your stuff, just eating away five percent
a year at what you're working hard to save. That's
the reality of the Democrats spending right now. Yeah, and
there's so many elderly people in particular living on fixed
income that don't have the flexibility, based on their current
life situation, to be putting the money into riskier endeavors.
(09:43):
And by the way, this is also a little bit
scary about the stock market in general, because one reason
there's so much money in the stock market is because
a lot of people are looking around at the inflation
rate and saying where else can I play? Are chasing
the yielding, And when everyone chases yield, what ends up happening.
You create what would be known in financial parliamance as
(10:04):
a bubble. Yes, And when that bubble bursts, then people
get hurt. Then the unemployment rate skyrockets, then people lose
you know, half or more of their life savings. And
I mean, it's just this is the financial engineering that
Democrats are engaged in right now. It's really just stealth socialism.
I mean, they're just trying to move money around, pay
(10:25):
off the constituencies that they like, take more from the
productive class, give more to the less productive, while also
always exempting clay the actual elites, right the people who
Nancy Pelosi doesn't care what the tax rate is because
she's worth fifty million dollars or whatever it is. She'd
care about a wealth tax though, which is why you'll
never actually see that happen. But I worry that, you know,
(10:48):
with the media on the side of the Democrats, class warfare,
as much as it is rooted in fallacy, it is
effective politics. And Democrats know that. Yeah. And the question is,
are the Joe Mansions of the world the kirk Kursten
cinemas are they going to be able to exert control
in the Senate? And then and I think even more
(11:10):
nerve rackingly because at least in the Senate you got
six year terms and a lot of these people can
hope that the story and the disdain and the discomfort
over this decision fades. In the House where Nancy Pelosi
is up against it, there are a lot of moderate Democrats,
seven of them, I believe, in districts that Trump won,
who are in severe danger. And we'll see whether or
(11:33):
not they have the testicular fortitude to stand up and
actually oppose this situation. I'm not sure that they do.
They may end up buckling. But this is going to
be a fascinating battle, and right now a lot of
it's going under the radar. And I gotta tell you,
by the way, I love the my Pillow products in
my house, absolutely love it, in fact so much. Buck

Getting Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. One of the things
(13:41):
that we have been talking to you guys since we
first took over. It's been almost three months ago now
since we first started doing this show. We said the
COVID mandates are not disappearing, and in fact, last week
Joe Biden came out and tried to implement implement the
I would say biggest federal overreach in the space of
(14:05):
health in most of our lives, in terms of requiring
a vaccine, something by the way, that they all said
in the Biden administration they would never do. And now
doctor Fauci is not happy with what has happened so
far and he wants and would support a mandate for
the vaccine to be required in order to travel on
(14:29):
an airplane. Here is the fouchmeister making that argument. I
would support that if you want to get on a
plane and travel with other people, that you should be vaccinated.
When you hear us say should you mandate vaccination for
children to be able to attend school, some people say, oh,
my goodness, that would be terrible to do that, But
(14:50):
we already do that and have been doing that for
decades and decades. I don't know what school you went to,
but the school that I into, you had to be
vaccinated for measles, mumps, rebella, polio, or otherwise you couldn't
go to school. The difference of course buck and by
the way, the school that he went to is the
(15:11):
same school that you win. That's right, So it is
possible that could do some freedom spreaders. Damn it. It's
not just fauci. All of those viruses that he referenced
abs actually have danger to children. And I don't want
to get focused on the children vaccine requirement because I
think that's madness. But the airplane vaccine requirement is even
(15:33):
crazier because this is significant. There's never been a requirement
that you be vaccinated for measles or mumps, or polio
or whatever else the heck it is in order to
get on an airplane or frankly that you would require
a gate agent to be checking vaccine paper. I also
wonder about this because Clay, well, what becomes first of all,
(15:53):
this is, as you and I have said, where it's
This is where it's heading. If cases are high in
the winter and especially hospitalizations go, this is absolutely where
it is going. Okay, So that's one part of this,
But another part of it is that look, and this
is why maybe we'll have either doctor Marty McCarry or
somebody like that on oh we do this week? Okay,
(16:15):
I think yeah, because you've got good asking about this
because there's my sense of it. Here's my sense of it. Uh,
does measles constant as measles constantly adapting and you know,
our mom's something that are constantly changing all the time.
Because what clearly the libs are looking at now is
getting us to zero COVID. They won't say that because
(16:35):
that that means we're talking about a multi year now
we're already in eighteen months multi year suppression campaign. But
are they trying to suppress something that's actually much more
like the common cold or the flu in terms of transmission,
mutation and inability. And as you point out, globally, you'd
have to do this as well. Right, the variants are
(16:55):
all coming globally, they're not coming in the United Yeah,
but that's what they don't want you from. And it's
also interesting that there's a change that's just happened now.
You know, used to be West Nile virus, a bowl
of virus, lime disease. These are all things that are
named for places, and yet now of Zeka, right, these
are things there neighbor places. Now it's alphabeta, lambda, delta,
(17:16):
you know, omega, whatever. Because they don't want people to
know because they're worried about xenophobia. Well, that would actually
be important to know where this stuff is coming from,
because your vaccination rate in the US, even if it
did get to one hundred percent, clay, if it's fifteen
percent in South Asia, guess what you're in trouble. And that, unfortunately,
(17:38):
is where we are headed is. And that's what like,
no one is willing to actually have that discussion. The
chances of the variant emerging in the United States are tiny.
We gotta tell you though. Family members always interested in
sharing pictures and videos with one another, you know why,
because we want to share the emotion attached to the
picture or video. For families that have cherished memories from
(18:01):
twenty thirty years ago, how do you accomplish the same thing.
You can't send a VHS cassette or say put this
in the VCR and watch it anymore. What do you
need instead? Is Legacy Box company based here in my
home state of Tennessee, digitally transferring videos and movies for
a decade. Now trust them like we do. In just
a couple of weeks time, they can take a whole
(18:23):
box full of your videotapes and transfer them to digital
files on the cloud, thumb drive, DVDs, all of it.
Legacy Box makes it easy. They ship you one of
their specially made boxes so you can ship those invaluable
family memories. They return it as well. Legacybox dot Com
to sign up today, legacybox dot Com forty percent off
their services today. Legacybox dot Com. Slash Clay Well, I
(18:52):
think the President is, you know, being somewhat moderate in
his demand, if you want to call it that, and
that there are some people who really don't want to
get vaccinated, but they don't want to lose their job.
You've got to give them an off lane and the
off lane is if he get tested frequently enough and
find out you're positive, you won't come to work and
you won't affect other people. So it really is somewhat
(19:14):
of a compromise there. Myself, I would make it just
vaccinate or not, but he was trying to be moderate
in what his pronouncement was. Welcome back the clicker as
a Bucksac and show click Clay. I can see his
face is literally disbelief on his face as he's hearing
this clip from Fauci where he's it's like bad cop,
bad Cop Wright or bad cop worst cop. You got
(19:35):
Biden with the overreach, and Fauci like, oh no, I
would go full Stalinism. I'd go all the way. I
just don't understand. And again, for people out there who
didn't hear us talking about it earlier, we have put
an official request in for this doctor Fauci to come
on our show. He does every media outlet in the country.
(19:57):
Thirteen thousand of you have voted in first forty five
minutes here, ninety three percent of you say that he
will refuse to come on our show. And again, I
think that's funny but also sad because I really I don't.
I mean, he said so many stupid things. But he's
not a could just say Clay, he's not even It's
not like the president or somebody with you know, have
(20:19):
to respect the office or something. His job is apparently
to just go on every media outlet, which is what
you the same crap. But he won't come here and
talk to us. He's a public employee, why not. I
just want to ask him about the natural immunity thing,
because he continues to make it in either or concept.
Either you get the vaccine or in doctor Fauci's position,
(20:42):
you are putting everybody in danger and you don't and
you don't deserve the right to work. That's what he's saying.
You either get the vaccine or you don't deserve the
right to work. That's what doctor Fauci believes. What about
the hundred billion people who already had COVID And again,
I want to go back to that England study which
we don't have. Ninety eight percent of people in England
(21:04):
have right now COVID antibodies because they either got the
vaccine or they have natural immunity. Why are they doing
such an awful job in this country that we keep
having to site Israeli data or English data instead of
being able to cite data in America to reflect what
the situation actually is here, because without that data you
(21:26):
can't make inform public policy decisions. It's incredibly frustrating to
me eighteen months in that we still have such an
awful collection of data. And I understand those countries are smaller,
and maybe that's the argument for why it's easier to do.
But can a state not do it? Can we not
have a zoology study and a state or a city
(21:47):
means ridiculous, Clay. You also have to remember, and not
on mean you, I mean everyone out there. We all
have to remember that they're now starting to just admit
that this is for the psychology of those whom COVID
has been an anxiety disorder essentially. I mean that they're
starting to talk about this more about how we have
(22:07):
to get to a place where it will make people
feel more at ease. It's not about disease, hospitalization, death
all the time. It's about I don't want to be
scared when I go outside because I watch too much CNN. Here's,
for example, Surgeon General Vivek Murphy right now on how
it's all about making people feel better peace of mind.
(22:29):
The reason that we're pursuing some of these requirements is again,
we know a lot of businesses, you know, have welcomed it.
We know that many they will help keep workplaces safe.
And then if we ultimately want to not only get
people back to work, but keep them at work, if
we want workers to know, hey, I'm coming back to
the workplace and it's going to be safe, these vaccinations
will help people do that. And I believe that will
not only improve public health, will give people some more
(22:51):
peace of mind. Peace of mind. Clay, you have to
get your Yeah, I mean what you have a You
have a children who are eight and thirteen, right, thirteen,
ten and six. Oh okay, I was closet. They're aging.
They both have birthdays this week. So it's confusing for
me too. Yeah, but anyway, point being here, you have
(23:12):
to mask them up, Clay. And now they want and
you know Fauci and them, they if they have their way,
you have to get them vaccinated. Two, so that over
anxious adults who can't handle the world around them being imperfect,
who think that the state will keep them safe and
warm at night, won't be worried. They're starting to say
this more openly because the data doesn't back up what
(23:33):
they're doing as actually effective at saving lives or whatever
it is they want to say, which is why I
keep and why I went to the school board several
weeks ago, because I mean, I'm looking at the data
right now, and these are kids that died with COVID,
almost all of whom had serious, significant health issues. On
top of that, four hundred and twelve four hundred and
(23:56):
twelve kids miners under the age of eighteen have died
of COVID. That is point oo one percent of total cases.
Your kids and my kids are more likely to be murdered,
They are more likely to die in a traffic accident,
they are more likely to drown, They are more likely
(24:16):
to die of the seasonal flu than they are from COVID. So,
unless I'm crazy, I don't ever remember any mask requirement
that existed in any school in the country for the
seasonal flu, even though every year, on average, it has
been killing more kids than are dying of COVID, and
(24:37):
most of you didn't even recognize, didn't even know, didn't
even contemplate the seasonal flu as a very likely danger
for your kids, not because you were trying to intentionally
ignore it, but just because statistically it is not that
significant of a danger. And if you having your kids
walk into school in the morning like I do, or
(24:58):
you put them in a car, they're under more danger
of getting murdered and dying in a traffic accident. If
you said, hey, I'm not going to take my kids
to school today because I'm worried they might get murdered
or die in a traffic accident, we would say, of
the parents who told us that you have a severe
psychological you, we need professional medical assistance for a psycholog
(25:21):
with COVID. I think there are a lot of prominent
TV journalists, if we can call them that, pundits pretending
to be journalists, who are who view COVID fear mongering right,
who view COVID fear expansion as necessary for their ratings. Perhaps.
(25:41):
I mean, it's tough to tell where they're ideologically devoted
to it and where they're just doing it. I mean, this,
of all the stupid things that were said over the weekend,
this might take the cake. I mean Nicole Wallace, who's
over at MSNBC, a former bush person by the way
former Republican who now does the bidding like a little
marionette of the d n see the Democrats, by the way,
that will never happen. There will never be a day
(26:04):
where I'm showing up somewhere. Oh I'm a Democrat now
because these people pay my check. I'll go be a
real estate agent somewhere. I'll go do some cool job.
I want to do that. I've always felt like, do
you know, I love real estate, so something like that,
I'll go do something else. I'm not gonna turn on
everything I've ever stood for because oh I want to
be on TV and I want to be important. Here's
Nicole Wallace. Did you hear this? Did you? I don't
(26:24):
even know. I haven't. This is why I get the
real time reaction from the claymeister over here, Nicole Wallace
on MSNBC telling Brian Williams, you know who, I don't
know if you guys know this. Brian Williams was the
lead Navy seal on the mission to kill Osama bin Laden,
so he pulled the trigger. You know. We had Rob
Smith on. Rob could neither confirm nor deny that it
(26:45):
was actually Brian Williams who was there, I was no
crap do one at all. Anyway, here is Nicole Wallace.
I mean, this is gonna be This is gonna make
some of you angry when you hear this, but you
gotta hear it because this is what goes on MSNBC.
I think there are so many parallels to how much
more difficult it is to do any of the things
that anyone who has spoken today has done to call
(27:08):
the country to a higher purpose. We've got politicians and
prominent folks in the media outraged by steps that a president,
not too many presidents after the one we heard from today,
would try to save his country from an unthinkable death toll.
I mean, as many people die every two days, has
died on September eleventh in this country, who don't have
(27:29):
to die. Anyone in this country over twelve could be vaccinated,
and people who are vaccinated are not the ones tragically
packing ICs in this country. Yeah, it's clay. It's just
like a nine to eleven every two days, that's what
they're saying on National TV. You know, people dying of
a respiratory virus, most of whom are much older and
(27:52):
at risk from all the other viruses that are out
there too. As we know, that's the same as our
buildings being hit by planes driven by homicidal hotest lunatics
and killing thousands of Americans all at once as they
try to destroy our entire society. How is it possible
to that are people who are this stupid get paid
to be on TV? Well not only that, Buck, but
eight thousand people die every day in this country, and
(28:14):
for most of our lives, we accepted that that was awful,
But it's the natural evolution of biology that eight thousand
people a day die in this country. Imagine if I
said to you, Clay, and I mean, Democrats aren't dumb
enough that they would say this so in the ones
that are on TV. Imagine if I said to you, oh, okay,
there were there were fifty people shot in America over
(28:35):
the weekend, But do you realize that three hundred people
died today from heart disease or whatever. I'm making up
the number. But people would say that's a callous, idiotic statement.
These things have nothing to do with each other. Oh
imagine if somebody had gone on Fox News and said,
on the day George Floyd died, well, you know, it's
a tragedy what happened to George Floyd. But seven nine
(28:55):
ninety nine people also died today, So I don't think
we should spend that much time focusing on any one.
That person would never be allowed on television, that's right.
I mean they would have to change their name and
move to like a rural off the grid area. What
would happens. That is absolutely what would happen. But you know,
our media is full of idiots, and unfortunately, some of
the idiots get very well paid and keep their jobs.
But that's just the way that it is. Protection, folks,
(29:18):
it is the name of the game. At some port
in your life, protecting all you've saved become so important.
Clayt I were talking about inflation eating away, eating away
all the time, at your savings, that all you've worked for.
Protect what you've saved. With the purchase of gold, it's
a smart investment, particularly if you think out of control
cost increases in virtually everything, and that they're ahead of us,
(29:39):
right because behind that comes inflation. We know what that
does to the value of a dollar. My partners at
the Oxford Goal Group have taught me how to buy
gold and precious metals. They've shown me how easy it
is to buy gold and take possession of it yourself.
I have it at my home literally holding it at
home and safely storing it so that I know that
I've got it when I need it. You can do
(29:59):
this same and the Oxford Gold Group will help you.
If you think find gold that's complicated, it's not. The
people at Oxford Gold Group are who you need to call.
They'll talk you through all of them, make sure you
get the right amount, the right kind. I mean we're
talking coins, bullion. They'll walk you through all of it.
They'll explain everything to you and you can have real
gold delivered to your home or have real gold as
part of your IRA. Call the Oxford Gold Group at
(30:21):
eight three three four zero four Gold and learn how
you can have real gold in your IRA and delivered
to your door. That's the Oxford Gold Group at eight

(31:05):
want to let you know it's pretty good offer right
now Arizona, you're out there listening to us. Right now
in Arizona. You got sports gambling now. Five dollars bet
on whoever wins tonight's game. Got the Raiders going up
against who are the Raiders playing? The Raiders are playing
against the Ravens tonight on Monday Night football. Five dollar
(31:26):

All you have to do is go to FanDuel dot
com slash clay, that is FanDuel dot com slash Clay.
You can turn five dollars into two hundred dollars forty
to one payout. Just pick the winner. All right. Speaking
of we were talking about this earlier. I took my son,
he wanted to go for his birthday party to the
(31:46):
Titans game. I understand there are people out there that say,
why would you support any form of sports, including the NFL,
when they allow protest when they are being disrespectful. I thought,
by and large, the NFL on September twelfth was very respectable. Respectful.
Of September eleventh, there was not the Black National Anthem
(32:06):
played at the game that I went to, but it
was played on the opening Thursday night, and Bill Maher
talked about this. And Bill Maher increasingly is willing to
attack the absurdity of left wing ideals, and he's doing
so in an intelligent fashion. Want to play this for you.
When people say to me sometimes like a plea, you know,
you go after the left a lot these days, why
(32:28):
I'm like, because you're embarrassing me. That's why I'm going
off to the left in a way you never did before.
Because you're inverting things that I'm not going to give
up on being liberal. This is what these teachers are
talking about, that you're taking children and making them hyper
aware of race in a way they wouldn't otherwise be.
(32:50):
I mean, I saw last night on the football game,
Alicia keeps saying lift every voice and sing, which now
I hear is called the Black National Anthem. Now, maybe
we should get rid of our national anthem, but I
think we should have one national anthem. I think when
you go down a road where you're having two different
national anthems, collegests sometimes now have many of them, have
(33:10):
different graduation ceremonies for black and white separate dorms. This
is what it means, segregation. You've inverted the idea. We're
going back to that under a different name. He's one
hundred percent right. We used to have fun with this
because I think the only way you can win on
issues like these is by ridiculing the absurdity. Buck we
(33:31):
would have on our show. We would play the Hispanic,
the White, the black, and the Asian national anthem. We
also had the gay national anthem and the women's national
anthem to draw into. Yeah, it was fun. We had
those exist. We picked them, Okay, I mean I didn't
know there was a black national quote national anthem so
pretty recently, so I had to have the possibility were
(33:53):
these others. We did it in a comedic fashion. For instance,
white people drafted Sweet Caroline as the white national anthem
every time. Wait, I mean you could have I don't know.
I'm living on a prayer. Maybe Oh, that's a good
one too. We need to I need to get that
audio sent to us so that we can ridicule this.
But it points to his larger issue, which is the
entire point of the national Anthem, is that it brings
(34:16):
us all together. Once you start excluding people based on
race or doing different treatment based on race, that's called racism,
which is really what the left is doing. Now. It's
not defensable, really, I mean intellectually, the things that are
happening now that the left is pushing it always devolves
into incoherence, which is why they respond to it with
(34:37):
so much anger. That's our accusations. They don't try to
convince you about why this is a good thing. They
say it is. Shut up, you're racist. That's the way.
That's their answer. You know. Actually, I said a friend
of mine, you know what, Clay. In real time, here
I have at the coffee shop on my corner. Now
I usually make my own coffee, but occasional on the
weekends is a little thing. I'll a little sort of
you know, if I'm feeling really lazy or if I
(34:57):
run out, I'll go. They have a number of books
that are on the like borrow it, read it, shelf
and I'm like, I took a photo of it like
it was White Fragility, Tanda Hissy Coats Between the World
and Me Michelle Obama's autobiography. Um, I mean, and there's
more every single book by either an African American author
(35:19):
or about racism and how awful it is in America.
I mean, this is a coffee shop where nine I mean,
this is this is for yuppies in midtown Manhattan, and
they're acting like they're all in the struggle all the time.
It's a most as you think if you just saw me,
like sitting on a bus and I was reading White Fragility,
(35:40):
first of all, I'd be like, you are the definition
of a fragile white dude. But I would just be like,
I mean, what no other country in the history of
the world have we minted more millionaires? And I think
probably Decca millionaires, meaning I think some of these writers
probably are making ten million dollars or more by telling
everybody out there how awful they are and how awful
(36:03):
they're country so pointless, there's only some people who benefit
from this, and they're rack and it's it's a rack exactly.
I mean, they're getting paid fifteen thousand dollars pop to
show up at college and say, you know everyone here
is racist. Thank you very much. Be sure to set
your waiter. I mean, it's ridiculous, man, but we'll get
more to look Bill Maher sometimes he's really wrong, but
(36:24):
you know he actually has real conservative sometimes on his
show I've been on. I'm sure you will be suit
should invite him on our show. What do you show
him on the show? All right, maybe we'll put out
the bat signal for more likely than fouch. Although he's
gonna take some shots at Trump. I'm telling you he'll
take some Trump shot. I understand everybody don't have to
agree on everything. If he's right on some things, I'll
take that in this world. We'll come back tomorrow more
on this team. Thanks for being with us, said Buck Sexton.

Fund the EIB Network
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome to our three of the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show right now up on Capitol Hill.
He got blink in Secretary of State blinking about to
be grilled. That's the term we all have to use, grilled,
(00:21):
or the Afghan exit debacle. But remember Democrats have been
telling everybody for the last couple of weeks it was
actually a stroke of brilliance by Biden. He's a hero,
he's amazing. One thing that I want to spend a
little more time on, if not today, suit is did
the bid administration because Clay I went on Fox right
(00:42):
after the horrible suicide bombing Incent that killed thirteen of
our American Marines and Navy corman and they said, oh,
Biden had claimed that the people that did this to
us were going to be held to account right away.
And I said, look, I was a CIA officer, I
know how this stuff goes. Finding who was responsible directly
(01:04):
and stopping the next attack would certainly be something that
would require tremendous intelligence capability that you tend not to
have in a chaotic withdrawal situation when all of your tools, sources,
and methods are going to be working in a frenzied state.
People on the ground aren't going to be able to
(01:25):
provide the same kind of information. And sure enough, now
we're told that maybe a hellfire missile strike that was
supposed to be stopping the next big suicide attack may
have killed an AID where this is from the New
York Times play may have killed an AID worker and
I believe seven family members, including children, which this I
(01:45):
find entirely tragically plausible because there was a political imperative
because Biden looked like an idiot and everyone knew it
and they couldn't hide from it, and we had just
lost thirteen Americans, so the Biden ministrate decides, so we
just got to go for it. We gotta hit a target.
We got to make sure we stop the next attack,
(02:05):
look like we're so they had two strikes, actually one
and I think it was Eastern Afghanistan against unnamed individuals,
as if we're supposed to take their word for it
that these were the masterminds. And then a strike that
they said was at the incoming suicide the next big
suicide bomb that was going to go off at the airport.
Now it looks like they blew up. We don't know
for sure, but a New York Times detailed analysis with
(02:28):
video and travel time stamps shows a guy who had
never been on the radar before of the US government,
seems to be an aid worker and definitely had a
bunch of kids with him, and they blew him up.
And I'm just if it were the Trump presidency and
this occurred, this specific incident, I am certain this would
be getting not just scrutiny, there'd be outrage over this,
(02:51):
no doubt. And I mean I give credit to the
New York Times for writing the piece and actually being
willing to look at all the evidence. And by the
way it came out on I bet we'll be one
of the only media outlets in the country to mention
it on Monday. I will say, even in the world
that we live in now, when you drop a story
(03:12):
on Friday afternoon headed into a weekend, it used to
be the tried and true way to bury bad news.
But when you got all the different activities that are
going on a Saturday and a Sunday by Monday, that
story is almost vanished. I mean, that's just the truth
of the world. That we live in. But it is
indicative of the overall failure of the Biden regime. Every
(03:34):
direction that you turn, they are failing. And that's why
he's out there desperately campaigning today for Governor Newsom because
he's trying to avoid he already lost one ally in
New York, trying to avoid Newsome being tied to the
failed COVID policies of the Biden administration. It's too hard
(03:56):
to make the case that you lose the governors of
your two biggest, most important blue states during COVID when
states were so important in the response, right, especially if
you believe that Trump, as the Democrats do, we was
so MIA, which was not true, and Operation Warp speed
is are all of a sudden erased from the memory
banks of all these people. But it's very hard to
make the case to anyone who's open minded and paying
(04:17):
attention at least that the Democrats in the most important
states did a good job with COVID when you're losing
I know that for Cuomo was for sexual assent, but
you're losing both of your most important governors from a
state an electoral perspective, and I'm just on the Afghanistan thing.
The narrative right now would be if Donald Trump were
president and you had the same fact pattern through the
month of August and the same situation A played on
(04:39):
Afghanistan up to this drone strike with a hellfire missile
on a car load full of people, it would have
been Donald Trump to distract from you know how awful
he is. Blew up a car load full of children.
That's what a monster he is. You're nothing like this
about the current commander in chief. I mean, I know
people say, oh, the inte community in the military. Yeah,
(05:01):
but when there's pressure from the White House do anything
to stop this and you have orders to go the
first moment you think, you know when the next attack is,
this kind of stuff happens, and it you know, the
buck stops with the commander in chief on this right,
This is a kind of incident that would be treated
very differently anyway. I just I didn't want us to
go without mentioning that, at least because most media are
(05:21):
not going to watching it by Monday, because it had
the story came out on Friday and then it's gone.
It just goes to the desperation of the Biden administration
as well to look less absurd in the face of
all the Afghanistan lack of planning and the debacle of
people running on the tarmac and trying to get people
out of there. Although we've got Lincoln faces furious lawmakers
over Afghan exit. That's right now the headline on Fox
(05:45):
News as Capitol Hill testimonies happening. I'm just going to
skip to the end on this for everybody. Nobody in
the Bide administration is getting fired. If they resign, it'll
be in months after they've gotten their book deal from
some big publisher and they've got you know, the count
on Foreign Relations giving them some nice little sinecure or whatever. Right,
that's that's when no one's gonna be held accountable. So
(06:06):
all the histrionics you're gonna hear on Capitol Hill right
now from whoever it is in the Republican side about
oh my gosh, and why didn't you plan and why
didn't you you know the Democrats are doing. They're looking
at them and saying, yeah, what are you gonna do
about it? We're gonna be talking about the insurrection for
the next twelve months. What are you gonna do about it?
That's their approach well. And also the blanket discussion arguably
provides cover for the budget details that are continuing to
(06:31):
come out that we talked about earlier, where you know,
suddenly people in New York are paying over sixty percent
tax increase tax rate, and people are not focused on
that because the outrage over Afghanistan or whatever the latest
daily news cycle is obscures the larger, more complete trillion
(06:52):
dollar Bernie budget that is moving through that is going
to screw I think the economy buck. We were just
talking about inflation a bit in the last hour. The
New York Fed has now come out and said that
their inflation targets are five point two percent this year.
(07:12):
Five point two percent now this is the New York
Federal Reserve, and four percent over the next three years
with large expected price rises in food, rent, and medical cost.
Poor people are thinking, oh, we're getting these tax refunds,
these tax checks, everything else. They're immediately getting eaten up
(07:35):
by inflation, which acts as a default tax increase on
everyone but impacts the poor who have the least financial
ability the most. This is Jimmy Carter two point zero again,
Federal Reserve, five point two percent inflation in one year,
four percent in three years. That is the highest level
(07:58):
of inflation that many of us have seen in our lives,
those of us who were born either at the tell
end or or after the Carter administration. I know a
lot of people out there listening to us, remember that.
But that's where we are. This is where Joe Biden's
And it's not just pages, it's not just food in
the store. It's also going to affect. This is what happens.
(08:18):
So you print money. This is cause and effect, right,
we can all see it. We all know. This is
a function. Play likes the data. This is a function
of the math. And what ends up happening is you
have an increase in home prices at home you want
to buy, or maybe you know that that place you
want to rent, even it's going to get more expensive.
But also your investments. I mean, if you live off
(08:39):
of an annuity for example, of some kind, if you
have if you're somebody that's that's in some kind of
a defined pension plan, understand that. You know, if you
think you're making you know, you see that percentage and
a lot of these programs in four oh one ks
and things like that you have built into it, Oh,
it's going to be x percent a year. Well, you
start losing five percent a year to inflation. I mean
(09:00):
the money you're putting into a savings account that you
think you're getting. I mean, I don't know what. It's
less than one percent, right, it's point something something percent.
You're actually going negative five percent over here. So you're
working your butt off, you're putting your money away. You're
thinking I'm doing things to the right day and Uncle
Sam is actually you know, like the squirrels in your
(09:21):
attic getting into your stuff, just eating away five percent
a year at what you're working hard to save. That's
the reality of the Democrats spending right now. Yeah, and
there's so many elderly people in particular living on fixed
income that don't have the flexibility, based on their current
life situation, to be putting the money into riskier endeavors.
(09:43):
And by the way, this is also a little bit
scary about the stock market in general, because one reason
there's so much money in the stock market is because
a lot of people are looking around at the inflation
rate and saying where else can I play? Are chasing
the yielding, And when everyone chases yield, what ends up happening.
You create what would be known in financial parliamance as
(10:04):
a bubble. Yes, And when that bubble bursts, then people
get hurt. Then the unemployment rate skyrockets, then people lose
you know, half or more of their life savings. And
I mean, it's just this is the financial engineering that
Democrats are engaged in right now. It's really just stealth socialism.
I mean, they're just trying to move money around, pay
(10:25):
off the constituencies that they like, take more from the
productive class, give more to the less productive, while also
always exempting clay the actual elites, right the people who
Nancy Pelosi doesn't care what the tax rate is because
she's worth fifty million dollars or whatever it is. She'd
care about a wealth tax though, which is why you'll
never actually see that happen. But I worry that, you know,
(10:48):
with the media on the side of the Democrats, class warfare,
as much as it is rooted in fallacy, it is
effective politics. And Democrats know that. Yeah. And the question is,
are the Joe Mansions of the world the kirk Kursten
cinemas are they going to be able to exert control
in the Senate? And then and I think even more
(11:10):
nerve rackingly because at least in the Senate you got
six year terms and a lot of these people can
hope that the story and the disdain and the discomfort
over this decision fades. In the House where Nancy Pelosi
is up against it, there are a lot of moderate Democrats,
seven of them, I believe, in districts that Trump won,
who are in severe danger. And we'll see whether or
(11:33):
not they have the testicular fortitude to stand up and
actually oppose this situation. I'm not sure that they do.
They may end up buckling. But this is going to
be a fascinating battle, and right now a lot of
it's going under the radar. And I gotta tell you,
by the way, I love the my Pillow products in
my house, absolutely love it, in fact so much. Buck

Getting Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. One of the things
(13:41):
that we have been talking to you guys since we
first took over. It's been almost three months ago now
since we first started doing this show. We said the
COVID mandates are not disappearing, and in fact, last week
Joe Biden came out and tried to implement implement the
I would say biggest federal overreach in the space of
(14:05):
health in most of our lives, in terms of requiring
a vaccine, something by the way, that they all said
in the Biden administration they would never do. And now
doctor Fauci is not happy with what has happened so
far and he wants and would support a mandate for
the vaccine to be required in order to travel on
(14:29):
an airplane. Here is the fouchmeister making that argument. I
would support that if you want to get on a
plane and travel with other people, that you should be vaccinated.
When you hear us say should you mandate vaccination for
children to be able to attend school, some people say, oh,
my goodness, that would be terrible to do that, But
(14:50):
we already do that and have been doing that for
decades and decades. I don't know what school you went to,
but the school that I into, you had to be
vaccinated for measles, mumps, rebella, polio, or otherwise you couldn't
go to school. The difference of course buck and by
the way, the school that he went to is the
(15:11):
same school that you win. That's right, So it is
possible that could do some freedom spreaders. Damn it. It's
not just fauci. All of those viruses that he referenced
abs actually have danger to children. And I don't want
to get focused on the children vaccine requirement because I
think that's madness. But the airplane vaccine requirement is even
(15:33):
crazier because this is significant. There's never been a requirement
that you be vaccinated for measles or mumps, or polio
or whatever else the heck it is in order to
get on an airplane or frankly that you would require
a gate agent to be checking vaccine paper. I also
wonder about this because Clay, well, what becomes first of all,
(15:53):
this is, as you and I have said, where it's
This is where it's heading. If cases are high in
the winter and especially hospitalizations go, this is absolutely where
it is going. Okay, So that's one part of this,
But another part of it is that look, and this
is why maybe we'll have either doctor Marty McCarry or
somebody like that on oh we do this week? Okay,
(16:15):
I think yeah, because you've got good asking about this
because there's my sense of it. Here's my sense of it. Uh,
does measles constant as measles constantly adapting and you know,
our mom's something that are constantly changing all the time.
Because what clearly the libs are looking at now is
getting us to zero COVID. They won't say that because
(16:35):
that that means we're talking about a multi year now
we're already in eighteen months multi year suppression campaign. But
are they trying to suppress something that's actually much more
like the common cold or the flu in terms of transmission,
mutation and inability. And as you point out, globally, you'd
have to do this as well. Right, the variants are
(16:55):
all coming globally, they're not coming in the United Yeah,
but that's what they don't want you from. And it's
also interesting that there's a change that's just happened now.
You know, used to be West Nile virus, a bowl
of virus, lime disease. These are all things that are
named for places, and yet now of Zeka, right, these
are things there neighbor places. Now it's alphabeta, lambda, delta,
(17:16):
you know, omega, whatever. Because they don't want people to
know because they're worried about xenophobia. Well, that would actually
be important to know where this stuff is coming from,
because your vaccination rate in the US, even if it
did get to one hundred percent, clay, if it's fifteen
percent in South Asia, guess what you're in trouble. And that, unfortunately,
(17:38):
is where we are headed is. And that's what like,
no one is willing to actually have that discussion. The
chances of the variant emerging in the United States are tiny.
We gotta tell you though. Family members always interested in
sharing pictures and videos with one another, you know why,
because we want to share the emotion attached to the
picture or video. For families that have cherished memories from
(18:01):
twenty thirty years ago, how do you accomplish the same thing.
You can't send a VHS cassette or say put this
in the VCR and watch it anymore. What do you
need instead? Is Legacy Box company based here in my
home state of Tennessee, digitally transferring videos and movies for
a decade. Now trust them like we do. In just
a couple of weeks time, they can take a whole
(18:23):
box full of your videotapes and transfer them to digital
files on the cloud, thumb drive, DVDs, all of it.
Legacy Box makes it easy. They ship you one of
their specially made boxes so you can ship those invaluable
family memories. They return it as well. Legacybox dot Com

(18:52):
think the President is, you know, being somewhat moderate in
his demand, if you want to call it that, and
that there are some people who really don't want to
get vaccinated, but they don't want to lose their job.
You've got to give them an off lane and the
off lane is if he get tested frequently enough and
find out you're positive, you won't come to work and
you won't affect other people. So it really is somewhat
(19:14):
of a compromise there. Myself, I would make it just
vaccinate or not, but he was trying to be moderate
in what his pronouncement was. Welcome back the clicker as
a Bucksac and show click Clay. I can see his
face is literally disbelief on his face as he's hearing
this clip from Fauci where he's it's like bad cop,
bad Cop Wright or bad cop worst cop. You got
(19:35):
Biden with the overreach, and Fauci like, oh no, I
would go full Stalinism. I'd go all the way. I
just don't understand. And again, for people out there who
didn't hear us talking about it earlier, we have put
an official request in for this doctor Fauci to come
on our show. He does every media outlet in the country.
(19:57):
Thirteen thousand of you have voted in first forty five
minutes here, ninety three percent of you say that he
will refuse to come on our show. And again, I
think that's funny but also sad because I really I don't.
I mean, he said so many stupid things. But he's
not a could just say Clay, he's not even It's
not like the president or somebody with you know, have
(20:19):
to respect the office or something. His job is apparently
to just go on every media outlet, which is what
you the same crap. But he won't come here and
talk to us. He's a public employee, why not. I
just want to ask him about the natural immunity thing,
because he continues to make it in either or concept.
Either you get the vaccine or in doctor Fauci's position,
(20:42):
you are putting everybody in danger and you don't and
you don't deserve the right to work. That's what he's saying.
You either get the vaccine or you don't deserve the
right to work. That's what doctor Fauci believes. What about
the hundred billion people who already had COVID And again,
I want to go back to that England study which
we don't have. Ninety eight percent of people in England
(21:04):
have right now COVID antibodies because they either got the
vaccine or they have natural immunity. Why are they doing
such an awful job in this country that we keep
having to site Israeli data or English data instead of
being able to cite data in America to reflect what
the situation actually is here, because without that data you
(21:26):
can't make inform public policy decisions. It's incredibly frustrating to
me eighteen months in that we still have such an
awful collection of data. And I understand those countries are smaller,
and maybe that's the argument for why it's easier to do.
But can a state not do it? Can we not
have a zoology study and a state or a city
(21:47):
means ridiculous, Clay. You also have to remember, and not
on mean you, I mean everyone out there. We all
have to remember that they're now starting to just admit
that this is for the psychology of those whom COVID
has been an anxiety disorder essentially. I mean that they're
starting to talk about this more about how we have
(22:07):
to get to a place where it will make people
feel more at ease. It's not about disease, hospitalization, death
all the time. It's about I don't want to be
scared when I go outside because I watch too much CNN. Here's,
for example, Surgeon General Vivek Murphy right now on how
it's all about making people feel better peace of mind.
(22:29):
The reason that we're pursuing some of these requirements is again,
we know a lot of businesses, you know, have welcomed it.
We know that many they will help keep workplaces safe.
And then if we ultimately want to not only get
people back to work, but keep them at work, if
we want workers to know, hey, I'm coming back to
the workplace and it's going to be safe, these vaccinations
will help people do that. And I believe that will
not only improve public health, will give people some more
(22:51):
peace of mind. Peace of mind. Clay, you have to
get your Yeah, I mean what you have a You
have a children who are eight and thirteen, right, thirteen,
ten and six. Oh okay, I was closet. They're aging.
They both have birthdays this week. So it's confusing for
me too. Yeah, but anyway, point being here, you have
(23:12):
to mask them up, Clay. And now they want and
you know Fauci and them, they if they have their way,
you have to get them vaccinated. Two, so that over
anxious adults who can't handle the world around them being imperfect,
who think that the state will keep them safe and
warm at night, won't be worried. They're starting to say
this more openly because the data doesn't back up what
(23:33):
they're doing as actually effective at saving lives or whatever
it is they want to say, which is why I
keep and why I went to the school board several
weeks ago, because I mean, I'm looking at the data
right now, and these are kids that died with COVID,
almost all of whom had serious, significant health issues. On
top of that, four hundred and twelve four hundred and
(23:56):
twelve kids miners under the age of eighteen have died
of COVID. That is point oo one percent of total cases.
Your kids and my kids are more likely to be murdered,
They are more likely to die in a traffic accident,
they are more likely to drown, They are more likely
(24:16):
to die of the seasonal flu than they are from COVID. So,
unless I'm crazy, I don't ever remember any mask requirement
that existed in any school in the country for the
seasonal flu, even though every year, on average, it has
been killing more kids than are dying of COVID, and
(24:37):
most of you didn't even recognize, didn't even know, didn't
even contemplate the seasonal flu as a very likely danger
for your kids, not because you were trying to intentionally
ignore it, but just because statistically it is not that
significant of a danger. And if you having your kids
walk into school in the morning like I do, or
(24:58):
you put them in a car, they're under more danger
of getting murdered and dying in a traffic accident. If
you said, hey, I'm not going to take my kids
to school today because I'm worried they might get murdered
or die in a traffic accident, we would say, of
the parents who told us that you have a severe
psychological you, we need professional medical assistance for a psycholog
(25:21):
with COVID. I think there are a lot of prominent
TV journalists, if we can call them that, pundits pretending
to be journalists, who are who view COVID fear mongering right,
who view COVID fear expansion as necessary for their ratings. Perhaps.
(25:41):
I mean, it's tough to tell where they're ideologically devoted
to it and where they're just doing it. I mean, this,
of all the stupid things that were said over the weekend,
this might take the cake. I mean Nicole Wallace, who's
over at MSNBC, a former bush person by the way
former Republican who now does the bidding like a little
marionette of the d n see the Democrats, by the way,
that will never happen. There will never be a day
(26:04):
where I'm showing up somewhere. Oh I'm a Democrat now
because these people pay my check. I'll go be a
real estate agent somewhere. I'll go do some cool job.
I want to do that. I've always felt like, do
you know, I love real estate, so something like that,
I'll go do something else. I'm not gonna turn on
everything I've ever stood for because oh I want to
be on TV and I want to be important. Here's
Nicole Wallace. Did you hear this? Did you? I don't
(26:24):
even know. I haven't. This is why I get the
real time reaction from the claymeister over here, Nicole Wallace
on MSNBC telling Brian Williams, you know who, I don't
know if you guys know this. Brian Williams was the
lead Navy seal on the mission to kill Osama bin Laden,
so he pulled the trigger. You know. We had Rob
Smith on. Rob could neither confirm nor deny that it
(26:45):
was actually Brian Williams who was there, I was no
crap do one at all. Anyway, here is Nicole Wallace.
I mean, this is gonna be This is gonna make
some of you angry when you hear this, but you
gotta hear it because this is what goes on MSNBC.
I think there are so many parallels to how much
more difficult it is to do any of the things
that anyone who has spoken today has done to call
(27:08):
the country to a higher purpose. We've got politicians and
prominent folks in the media outraged by steps that a president,
not too many presidents after the one we heard from today,
would try to save his country from an unthinkable death toll.
I mean, as many people die every two days, has
died on September eleventh in this country, who don't have
(27:29):
to die. Anyone in this country over twelve could be vaccinated,
and people who are vaccinated are not the ones tragically
packing ICs in this country. Yeah, it's clay. It's just
like a nine to eleven every two days, that's what
they're saying on National TV. You know, people dying of
a respiratory virus, most of whom are much older and
(27:52):
at risk from all the other viruses that are out
there too. As we know, that's the same as our
buildings being hit by planes driven by homicidal hotest lunatics
and killing thousands of Americans all at once as they
try to destroy our entire society. How is it possible
to that are people who are this stupid get paid
to be on TV? Well not only that, Buck, but
eight thousand people die every day in this country, and
(28:14):
for most of our lives, we accepted that that was awful,
But it's the natural evolution of biology that eight thousand
people a day die in this country. Imagine if I
said to you, Clay, and I mean, Democrats aren't dumb
enough that they would say this so in the ones
that are on TV. Imagine if I said to you, oh, okay,
there were there were fifty people shot in America over
(28:35):
the weekend, But do you realize that three hundred people
died today from heart disease or whatever. I'm making up
the number. But people would say that's a callous, idiotic statement.
These things have nothing to do with each other. Oh
imagine if somebody had gone on Fox News and said,
on the day George Floyd died, well, you know, it's
a tragedy what happened to George Floyd. But seven nine
(28:55):
ninety nine people also died today, So I don't think
we should spend that much time focusing on any one.
That person would never be allowed on television, that's right.
I mean they would have to change their name and
move to like a rural off the grid area. What
would happens. That is absolutely what would happen. But you know,
our media is full of idiots, and unfortunately, some of
the idiots get very well paid and keep their jobs.
But that's just the way that it is. Protection, folks,
(29:18):
it is the name of the game. At some port
in your life, protecting all you've saved become so important.
Clayt I were talking about inflation eating away, eating away
all the time, at your savings, that all you've worked for.
Protect what you've saved. With the purchase of gold, it's
a smart investment, particularly if you think out of control
cost increases in virtually everything, and that they're ahead of us,
(29:39):
right because behind that comes inflation. We know what that
does to the value of a dollar. My partners at
the Oxford Goal Group have taught me how to buy
gold and precious metals. They've shown me how easy it
is to buy gold and take possession of it yourself.
I have it at my home literally holding it at
home and safely storing it so that I know that
I've got it when I need it. You can do
(29:59):
this same and the Oxford Gold Group will help you.
If you think find gold that's complicated, it's not. The
people at Oxford Gold Group are who you need to call.
They'll talk you through all of them, make sure you
get the right amount, the right kind. I mean we're
talking coins, bullion. They'll walk you through all of it.
They'll explain everything to you and you can have real
gold delivered to your home or have real gold as
part of your IRA. Call the Oxford Gold Group at
(30:21):
eight three three four zero four Gold and learn how
you can have real gold in your IRA and delivered
to your door. That's the Oxford Gold Group at eight

You can turn five dollars into two hundred dollars forty
to one payout. Just pick the winner. All right. Speaking
of we were talking about this earlier. I took my son,
he wanted to go for his birthday party to the
(31:46):
Titans game. I understand there are people out there that say,
why would you support any form of sports, including the NFL,
when they allow protest when they are being disrespectful. I thought,
by and large, the NFL on September twelfth was very respectable. Respectful.
Of September eleventh, there was not the Black National Anthem
(32:06):
played at the game that I went to, but it
was played on the opening Thursday night, and Bill Maher
talked about this. And Bill Maher increasingly is willing to
attack the absurdity of left wing ideals, and he's doing
so in an intelligent fashion. Want to play this for you.
When people say to me sometimes like a plea, you know,
you go after the left a lot these days, why
(32:28):
I'm like, because you're embarrassing me. That's why I'm going
off to the left in a way you never did before.
Because you're inverting things that I'm not going to give
up on being liberal. This is what these teachers are
talking about, that you're taking children and making them hyper
aware of race in a way they wouldn't otherwise be.
(32:50):
I mean, I saw last night on the football game,
Alicia keeps saying lift every voice and sing, which now
I hear is called the Black National Anthem. Now, maybe
we should get rid of our national anthem, but I
think we should have one national anthem. I think when
you go down a road where you're having two different
national anthems, collegests sometimes now have many of them, have
(33:10):
different graduation ceremonies for black and white separate dorms. This
is what it means, segregation. You've inverted the idea. We're
going back to that under a different name. He's one
hundred percent right. We used to have fun with this
because I think the only way you can win on
issues like these is by ridiculing the absurdity. Buck we
(33:31):
would have on our show. We would play the Hispanic,
the White, the black, and the Asian national anthem. We
also had the gay national anthem and the women's national
anthem to draw into. Yeah, it was fun. We had
those exist. We picked them, Okay, I mean I didn't
know there was a black national quote national anthem so
pretty recently, so I had to have the possibility were
(33:53):
these others. We did it in a comedic fashion. For instance,
white people drafted Sweet Caroline as the white national anthem
every time. Wait, I mean you could have I don't know.
I'm living on a prayer. Maybe Oh, that's a good
one too. We need to I need to get that
audio sent to us so that we can ridicule this.
But it points to his larger issue, which is the
entire point of the national Anthem, is that it brings
(34:16):
us all together. Once you start excluding people based on
race or doing different treatment based on race, that's called racism,
which is really what the left is doing. Now. It's
not defensable, really, I mean intellectually, the things that are
happening now that the left is pushing it always devolves
into incoherence, which is why they respond to it with
(34:37):
so much anger. That's our accusations. They don't try to
convince you about why this is a good thing. They
say it is. Shut up, you're racist. That's the way.
That's their answer. You know. Actually, I said a friend
of mine, you know what, Clay. In real time, here
I have at the coffee shop on my corner. Now
I usually make my own coffee, but occasional on the
weekends is a little thing. I'll a little sort of
you know, if I'm feeling really lazy or if I
(34:57):
run out, I'll go. They have a number of books
that are on the like borrow it, read it, shelf
and I'm like, I took a photo of it like
it was White Fragility, Tanda Hissy Coats Between the World
and Me Michelle Obama's autobiography. Um, I mean, and there's
more every single book by either an African American author
(35:19):
or about racism and how awful it is in America.
I mean, this is a coffee shop where nine I mean,
this is this is for yuppies in midtown Manhattan, and
they're acting like they're all in the struggle all the time.
It's a most as you think if you just saw me,
like sitting on a bus and I was reading White Fragility,
(35:40):
first of all, I'd be like, you are the definition
of a fragile white dude. But I would just be like,
I mean, what no other country in the history of
the world have we minted more millionaires? And I think
probably Decca millionaires, meaning I think some of these writers
probably are making ten million dollars or more by telling
everybody out there how awful they are and how awful
(36:03):
they're country so pointless, there's only some people who benefit
from this, and they're rack and it's it's a rack exactly.
I mean, they're getting paid fifteen thousand dollars pop to
show up at college and say, you know everyone here
is racist. Thank you very much. Be sure to set
your waiter. I mean, it's ridiculous, man, but we'll get
more to look Bill Maher sometimes he's really wrong, but
(36:24):
you know he actually has real conservative sometimes on his
show I've been on. I'm sure you will be suit
should invite him on our show. What do you show
him on the show? All right, maybe we'll put out
the bat signal for more likely than fouch. Although he's
gonna take some shots at Trump. I'm telling you he'll
take some Trump shot. I understand everybody don't have to
agree on everything. If he's right on some things, I'll
take that in this world. We'll come back tomorrow more
on this team. Thanks for being with us, said Buck Sexton.
