Useless UN
A sharp critique of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, highlighting the traffic chaos and questioning why the UN remains in Manhattan instead of a less disruptive location. The hosts then pivot to Donald Trump’s bold remarks at the UN, where he dismissed climate change alarmism and called out global elites.
The conversation shifts to the mainstream media’s fading obsession with climate change, referencing a recent New York Times piece asking why the issue has “vanished” from public discourse. Clay and Buck also tackle the Ukraine war fatigue, noting the disappearance of Ukraine flags and waning liberal enthusiasm for the conflict.
Next, the hosts take aim at YouTube’s admission of COVID-era censorship, exposing how the platform silenced voices that ultimately proved correct on masking and pandemic policies. This leads to a broader discussion on Big Tech’s role in shaping narratives and stifling dissent.
Kamala Catastrophe
Kamala Harris’s new book tour for 107 Days and her disastrous past interview moments, including the infamous “not a thing I would have done differently” answer about the Biden administration. The hosts analyze why this response reinforced perceptions of Harris as unprepared and politically tone-deaf, and they debate what her future in the Democratic Party looks like heading into 2026.
They Will Do It Again
Big Tech censorship and free speech. Clay and Buck focus on explosive revelations that YouTube admitted to suppressing conservative voices at the request of the Biden administration during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clay shares firsthand experiences of demonetization and content removal for questioning mask mandates and vaccine policies—positions later validated by science.
Buck underscores how these actions amounted to government-backed censorship, costing conservative media companies hundreds of millions of dollars and undermining open debate. The hosts criticize the Supreme Court’s failure to address this First Amendment violation, warning that these practices could return under future Democratic administrations.
Additional segments highlight the contrast between the media’s outrage over Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension and its silence on systemic censorship by tech giants. Clay and Buck argue that while Kimmel missed four shows, countless conservative creators faced long-term suppression and financial harm. They also discuss algorithmic shadow-banning, the lingering effects of being placed on YouTube’s “naughty list,” and why online platforms now function as the modern public square.
Shady Lady
A deep look at the New Jersey governor’s race, where Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill faces scrutiny over allegations of questionable stock trades. Clay and Buck break down reports that Sherrill’s net worth skyrocketed from a few million to roughly $12 million while serving in Congress, despite an annual salary of $174,000.
They discuss her awkward response to Charlemagne tha God’s question about making $7 million in trades and explore the broader issue of insider trading in Congress, calling for mandatory blind trusts or index fund requirements to restore public trust.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
People ask us all the time how we can save
the next generation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We've got our show and the info is an antidote.
But we also have a couple books coming out, Clay.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
That's right, and you can pre order both of them
right now and be book nerds just like us.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You'll laugh, you'll nod, and you'll get smarter too.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Mine's called Balls, How Trump young men in sports saved America.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And mine is manufacturing delusion How the Left uses brainwashing,
indoctrination and propaganda against you. Both are great reads.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
One might even say they would make fabulous gifts.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Indeed, so do us a solid and pre order yours
on Amazon today. Welcome everybody, Tuesday edition of the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We are raped in stacks
a lot talk to you about today, breaking down all
the news for you. Trump at the United Nations producer
Greg among others, snarled in endless traffic while bureaucrats from
(00:56):
around the planet run up their government expense accounts that
are very New York City restaurants and block off lots
of streets, which makes it impossible to get anywhere. If
we're going to have the UN on us soil, which
I don't really think we should. We should have it
in like you know, I don't know, Wilmington or Omaha
(01:16):
or you name it. It should not be in New York
City because it makes everything a mess for the eight
million people who actually live there for the two weeks
it's there. I know Omaha listeners, we have a robust
audience there. You're yelling at me. Absolutely not. Okay, Well,
maybe Wilmington. I don't know how many Wilmington listeners we have.
But it should be in some place, you know, Clay,
(01:36):
there's a reason that so many countries have these capitals
that they've set up to be the capital. This is true,
which is originally true of Washington, DC, but it's true
in a lot of countries more recently, you know, whether
it's Brazilia in Brazil or Islamabad because they want to
put all the government infrastructure there and it's just easier.
(01:58):
Putting the United Nations in midtown Manhattan is a mess anyway.
Enough for the logistics of that. I've given love to
our WR listeners who have probably had a rough commute.
If you can work remote for the next week or
two at the UN with the UN General Assembly going on,
you should do so. But Trump was there. He's laying
down the law and a whole bunch of things. I
love that he is telling people forget about this climate
(02:19):
change nonsense, because this is going to be a moment, Clay,
where the Libs all of a sudden pretend again to
care about climate change. It's one of these rare issues
that it is. It is. It's not just that it's
a big issue. And we're about to get into Jimmy Kimmel,
We're about to get into Kamala's book. We got a
million things. I'm a little fired up about you. You
reminded me.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I meant to mention yesterday about how climate change has
vanished Sunday New York Times magazine cover. Why does no
one talk about climate change?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Now? That's why I'm saying this for weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's meant to I meant to bring it up yesterday
because I was reading the Sunday New York Times. I
do it so you don't have to much like buck,
this brand new Kamala Harris first edition is going to
be reading it, so you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Is it a signed you did, I don't know. It
will be when Clay goes to the book event though
it was a huge cover story. And again I'm paraphrasing,
but it basically this Sunday was, why do we not
talk about climate change anymore?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Have we just given up? You know, you're true, You're
correct that it has vanished.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It went from the thing that they were obsessed with,
that we didn't care about at all, and nobody cares
about it, and now they're going to pretend they care again,
sort of like also the war in Ukraine where all
those Ukraine flags, Ukraine needs the Libs that care so
much about who controls don Boss now more than ever,
and yet not seeing a lot of that, not seeing
a lot almost like this is a thing that people
(03:39):
attach themselves to so that they can feel good about
themselves without any actual skin of the game or doing anything. Okay,
certainly true of climate change, I might add, But we
will talk more about what Trump has said at the
United Nations. We'll certainly discuss Kamala's book, which is I
gotta say, it's just everybody just crash this thing so far,
(04:01):
and I don't mean to be clear. Usually this book
would come out, uh from a Democrat who would just
run and if she had a future. Not gonna argue
with clearver this today. But we all know how we
feel about this. If she had a future, there would
be a lot of people in the Democrat establishment who
were saying, you know, oh, man, like it just was
so tough for her and and you know, she's she's
(04:21):
a great candidate, and everyone's saying, wow, it's kind of
nasty and uh and really not not so good. And
we'll talk about some of the clips and some of
her promo for the book. And yes, I did buy
a copy of it, which I feel guilty about, but
I had to do it. That team, you know that
that that that just is one of these things. I
will take one for the team. I don't know what
else to tell you. Uh so I'm doing that. And
(04:44):
we've also got uh what else is in the mix here?
YouTube YouTube dive again.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And this is gonna be a big story going forward
because just as yet another thing that we were right
about and told you what was happening, and now they're like, oh, yeah,
by the way, we were since everybody about COVID and banning,
all sorts of people who ended up being right about
everything are bad, you know, are bad.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Sorry, and you're just like I had a personal YouTube
channel that did shut down, strike strike shut down. I mean,
over and over again. I stopped with YouTube because I
was like, this is crazy because you couldn't even say,
I could not say, don't that mask wearing outside was
unnecessary outside, which every single study, all of the data
(05:30):
is that that is absolutely worthless and insane. There's no
reason it didn't Yes, didn't matter. Masking was a religion,
kind of like climate change is a religion for people
who think they're too smart for religion. As I've told you.
We'll get into all that though, And yeah, the YouTube censorship.
Speaking of censorship, Jimmy Kimmel, Oh, Jimmy Kimmel's his his
his face painted on walls and water towers across America.
(05:55):
And what happened to Jimmy Kimmel. He was off the
air for four days, four shows, four shows, and Disney
brings him right back. This is funny because there have
been libs who have canceled. Here's Howard Stern who's become
a huge, very annoying lib. Maybe he always was, but
(06:16):
at least now he's really bad. Here he is fifteen saying, well,
I'll let you hear it from this guy play fifteen.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I just know when the government begins to interfere, When
the government says I'm not pleased with you, so we're
going to orchestrate a way to silence you. It's the
wrong direction for our country. And I should know. I've
been involved in something like this, and now ABC is
put in the same position. And it's unfortunate that ABC
even has to.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Be in this position.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
They shouldn't have to be in this position. I feel
for them too in this, but someone's got to step
up and be saying, hey, enough, we're not gonna bow.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It might sound stupid, but the thing I did this morning,
I'm canceling my Disney. Plus I'm trying to say with
the pocketbook that I do not support what they're doing
with Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, can I just point this out now, we say
you cancel Disney, so I guess he's gonna resubscribe to
Disney off the air for four days. These libs are
such babies. This is not even a scentilla Clay. This
is not even a tiny little sliver of the cancelation
and censorship and everything that the right has been dealing
(07:24):
with for twenty years now. Especially online, and we're supposed
to care that Jimmy kim The government didn't take him
off the air, you know how we know that he's
back on the air. I guess the government wasn't so
scary after all. ABC News did this, I think to
protect him, because the second round of what he was
gonna say on air was even dumber than the first.
I think there's truth to that.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I have been saying since this all started, and I
think people are gonna slowly start to recognize this is
about Disney trying to buy the NFL network. I'm sorry,
Jimmy Kimmel was just a pawn here. I think if
Disney could just do away with almost all news, I
think they would because they've basically done it at ESPN.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
ESPN breaks no news.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Now, they're in bed with the NFL, they're in bed
with the SEC, they're in bed with the NBA. Every
time they break news it just hurts their business partners,
and so they're basically just a glorified middleman when it
comes to sports. And then I think Disney just wants
to make look left wing unfortunate programming, but I don't
(08:29):
think they actually want to do news. I think if
they could sell ABC News and get out of the
news business completely. I think it's just a mess to them.
It doesn't make any money. Jimmy Kimmel's show loses money
at this point if you were just analyzing aspects of
their business. This creates way more headaches than it does
provide profits.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And that's a bad combination. And I think they want out.
You know. I got to say, when I'm at the
Jim Clay down to one ninety. By the way, I'm
coming for you, buddy. You want You're gonna catch me.
You want eighty five? Yeah, I don't know. I saw
you putting away that ham sandwich other day. I'm thinking
one eighty seven maybe, But anyway, yes, I'm I'm uh.
(09:11):
By the way, I have to respect one thing about Clay.
You know, you all know Clay is uh. Clay is Clay,
and he's been a he's been a very uh successful entrepreneur.
Put it that way. He will still drink a big
old bottle of mountain dew in our studio. He is
the only person I know, the only human being I
know who in his forties drinks mountain dew. So I'm
(09:33):
i gotta say Clay does not changed one bit. Lara
has gotten me to give up soda, but then I
just blow you up in front of it. Well, I
occasionally will have a soda, but it is super unhealthy.
I get ripped all the time for the clothes that
I wear, uh, for the uh for the.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
The food choices that I make. I really haven't changed
very much since I was like eighteen, for better or worse.
So when it comes to what I wear.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Or what I eat and uh so, I would just
say all back to the kimmelwig for a second, because
I was I was saying when I go to the gym,
and I've gotten that one ninety now, whenever I see
the screen, it's always sports in my gym. They know,
they don't allow Fox News. All these sports are on
all they don't have any news to be fair, really,
maybe CNN's on sometimes I gotta talk to them about that,
(10:20):
but I see what that what the headlines are, and
it's never news about sports. It's always just people having inane,
inane discussions like is so and and you know, I know,
you know all these people in their backgrounds, I mean,
the people they're talking about, But it's always is so
and so's new coaching contract like too much or just
(10:40):
about right? And then you have adults sitting around talking.
I'm like, who cares? Like what is this? You're very
someone else's coaching pay another four people at a table
and I can just see because it's all scrolling with
the text, Like I cannot believe there are adults having
this conversation and this is like a thing that they're
doing on this show. Who Cares? But but I have
even noticed that it's not sports reporting anymore. They're not
(11:05):
breaking news about the sports industry. It's like who's better?
You know, it's all versions of who's better Lebron or Jordan.
It's all, you know. I take this side, you take
that side of inane argument at ESPN, and I think
it's just because you're right about how they really just
want to be a middleman broadcasting of live sports with
a lot of chatter in between. The last.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The worst thing for them would be to blow up
one of their franchise properties because they do a story
that knocks a really good talented player out of being
able to be on television for them because it costs
them money. Speaking of being on television, I now have
an FS one show where I sit around and talk
about all the inane sports things that airs at six
(11:45):
pm Eastern. I got every the gym now every Wednesday,
if you're working out at six pm FS one, you'll
just see me. This is actually pretty funny. It's just
me sitting and making sports arguments. I don't have anybody
that I'm debating. It's just me in my own head. Laura,
today this is one hundred percent try. We're taping it.
We tape it a day early. She said what time
(12:08):
are you taping? And I was like, oh, maybe she
wants to come up pay attention see the you know,
sports arguments. And I was like, oh, you know, two
thirty and she said okay, and I was like, you know,
you got something going on. She was like no, I
just want to make sure that we have someone putting
makeup on you because and I was like, well, I've
been doing television for a long time. You know, I
don't ever wear makeup unless I'm in a studio. And
(12:30):
she was like yeah, but this one, they really kind
of zoom in on you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It is all.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And I was like, so you're telling me I have
to wear She was like yeah, yeah, I think you
have to wear makeup, so this is uh, I will
be made up but I but I usually am never
in makeup for any hit. But Laura was like, no,
the camera's two h D. They're too close. They really
zoom in on you. You need to have makeup on.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
She's just look, she's just looking out for you. No
one's got to tell you the hard truths play and
I guess ready she's ready for it. I will say this.
Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. We both said this
was going to happen, so we we knew this was
going to happen. I pointed out immediately when this happened,
I said, guys, it's an indefinite suspension. That does not
mean And even the White House was saying, oh, he's
been canceled. He's you know his show has been canceling. No,
(13:15):
it hasn't. He's back on the air, very curious to
see if there's I don't think they'll really. My guess
is there won't only be any shift in the ratings.
But to me, Clay, more than anything else, this just
goes to show you libs have no idea what actual
censorship and being shut down is because they don't experience it.
And the moment that they can even make a fake argument,
in my opinion, this was always a ABC was always
(13:37):
driving this ship. It was not the trumpet Trump administration
that was at the helm here. And and the fact
that they tried to make this argument so quickly and
so you know, so vociferously, just goes to show you
they're a bunch of cry babies and they just want
different rules for us and different rules for them. And
unfortunately they still have it at ABC.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
One wrinkle here that is not being talked about very
much but is still employed. A next Star and Sinclair
are not carrying it. So, for instance, in Nashville, my
ABC affiliate, I won't be able to watch the Jimmy
Kimmel Show. And many of you out there that have
(14:15):
either a Sinclair or Next Star affiliate, you wouldn't know
unless you put your television on at eleven thirty PM
Eastern ten thirty Central, you wouldn't really know whether or
not probably who your affiliate is. But that is something
that I think could still be an issue because around
thirty five percent of viewers nationwide will not have access
(14:38):
to this show. And I'm curious somewhat to see what
he says. I'll tell you what I think he should
say when we come back. In the meantime, it's been
nearly two years since Amas Terris murdered more than twelve
hundred innocent Israelis took two hundred and fifty hostages before
the day was over. In a couple of weekends, there's
going to be a special remembrance and remember Hamas still
(14:59):
has high hostages. Two years. They have been holding some
of these hostages this weekend. As we get ready a
couple of weekends from now, Flags of Fellowship is going
to be going on, organized by the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews. Date is Sunday, October fifth, just a
couple of weeks away. Millions of Americans will plant an
(15:20):
Israeli flag in honor and solidarity with the victims of
October seventh, twenty twenty three and their grieving families. To
learn how you can join the Flags of Fellowship movement,
visit the fellowship online at IFCJ dot org. Stand up
for Israel and join the movement. That's IFCJ dot.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Org Saving America, one thought at a time. Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton them find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
All right, let's talk Tamala for a little bit, because
she's on her book tour. You'll remember kam Harrish's a
vice president for four years. She was disastrous in every
role they pretended to give her. She didn't even have
to do anything, she just had to not make it
clear that she had no idea about the thing that
she had been made in charge of. Or those are
(16:15):
of like the border, well, we all remember we've been
to the border, unless her halt being like, lady, you
haven't been to the border, Like you can't. You know,
there's only so much we can do for you here
at the ABC News right NBC.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I think if less if Lester Holt lights you up,
I mean that's like, you know, that's like like mister.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Rogers throwing an elbow and hit you right in the jaw.
You know, that's tough.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Like you know, like if if you were walking down
the street and you bumped into Al Roker and he
like just beat you, beat you up, you'd be like,
I don't feel good about your chances to defend yourself
against anybody. I mean, when you get bodied by Lester Holt.
You're probably not a very serious politician.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Old school ow would have had a little more weight
to throw behind it, but uh, you know, to be fair.
But now yeah, now you can't you can't get you
can't get slapped around by him. We have so much
about Kamala that's worth discussing, and let's let's just go
back to this one because her book is out now.
And remember, if you're like buck, why do we care? Well,
(17:12):
first of all, there's an election coming up in a year,
basically fifteen months or so. You're going to start to
see people at the exploratory committees and raising money whatever,
So it's not that far out. But even beyond that,
who's the leader of the Democrat Party right now? And
we talk about this day to day because we know
there's opposition to Trump and the Republicans out there. We
(17:32):
know that they actually got a lot of votes in
this last election. We're not forgetting about that. But there
has to be some group of people, if not one person,
who are really driving the you know, driving the vote
or you know, making making the decisions about where the
party's going. And it's very unclear right now in a
way that it has never been. We we have lived
(17:54):
Clay right through the era of Clinton's Obama's bided a
little bit. But you know, there have been these names
in politics, like we all knew who the top Democrats were,
more or less for the last twenty years, who the
big names were. And you know, there was a little
period where you had some you know, John Kerry was
(18:14):
making a play for it, right, and there have been
some others. But now we don't know. And it's worth
noting that they don't know either. And it's fun to
watch the scramble here on the View trying to push
her book, and I'm sure she wants to sell a
lot of copies because Comma wants to make money. The
View host Sonny Houston, who I am told reliably by
(18:36):
the way, Clay from a source very close to the show,
is incredibly hostile to both staff and fellow panelists on that.
Does that surprise you at all? Nope, But I was
just told that recently. I cannot divulge sources, but she
is the story. I am told that she is a
nightmare to deal with for everybody. Everybody on that show
(18:57):
and Seid so all the like we love each other's
is nonsense. If you had to pick one who is impossible,
it's her. I guess by far. I don't even think
there would be a close second. Look.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think that Whoopi Goldberg and Enjoy Behar often say
and make moronic arguments, but they are to be fair
comedians and background. Sonny is arrogant and dumb, which is
a bad combination because she has no idea.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
What she's talking about. This is one of the things
like Notre Dame. Yeah, there's like a bitterness to her too.
All the time. Notre Dame Law School should ask for
the JV back. She is awful and she seems awful,
so that does not surprise me at all. So you
will recall little throwback here, little throwback Tuesday to October
(19:46):
eighth of twenty twenty four, so coming up on almost
exactly a year ago. And that's also the other part
of this, right, it was a year ago that they
were telling us Kamala is great. Vote for Kamala. You
gotta vote for Kamala. We could tell they're like, do
you really want to vote for Kamala? Though? Do you
really want to? Not really? But here was about a
year ago Kamala when asked on the View by Sonny
(20:09):
Houston if she would do anything differently, and this was
magnufique perfection play it.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
If anything, would you have done something differently than President
Biden during the past four years? There is done a
thing that comes to mind in terms of and I've
been a part of most of the decisions that have
had impact.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Clay Clay, that was That was a moment where I
was feeling so good about the prediction that he was
going to do even better against against Kamala, that Trump
was than he did against Hillary. She did you want
she was? Let's repact to that again.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I mean, Kamala has had and even back then, had
months to prepare for every possible question that could be answered,
could be asked.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
This is not a very difficult proposition. You and I.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You're going to have your book coming out in January.
I'll have my book coming out in November. We will
be asked hundreds of questions as part of book promotion,
and we will have had no preparation. We'll have no whiteboarding,
We'll have no team that sits around and just sketches
out what our answers to questions should be, because we're
(21:19):
not morons. This was an inevitable and totally expected question
that she bungled, and then she's talking about it now,
she's promoting. She went back on for the first time,
and I don't even know what the conversation was, but
we've got audio of Sunny Houston following twenty four play it.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I asked you if there was anything you would have
done differently than President Biden during the past four years,
and you said, quote, there is not a thing that
comes to mind. End quote. You're right, you had no idea.
You just pull the pin on a hand grenade. In
the moment, I knew the Trump campaign weaponized your answer
(21:58):
against you question, and some including James Carvill and Jake Tapper,
point to that answer as a turning point in your candidacy.
Do you think that moment tipped the election? No good
because Sonny doesn't want to take the blame.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Can I can I point something out, Clay, just in
the lack of logic that even Sonny hostin in that
one little moment shows us she knows that it's a
horrible answer herself. She said that she knew right away.
Oh my god, Kamala's answer is absolutely atrocious. But then
she goes to and Republicans weaponized weaponized, meaning like they
(22:38):
what they took it out of context. They were on
fair No, if you knew it was a moronic answer, Sonny,
everybody knew it was a moronic answer.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
They didn't weaponize her answer, they just used her answer. Yes,
she weaponized the answer by being a moron. But I
so I jotted down on my little yellow notepad weaponized
your answer, which you just hit second part there that
I also jotted down. Everybody laughed because they know that
(23:06):
Sonny Hostin is not there to actually do journalism. She's
there to burnish Kamala Harris's credentials. Play that cut again
because the weaponized answer is interesting. But the joke that
everybody laughs at because it's true, is Sonny Hostin didn't
want to do anything that might in any way harm
(23:27):
Kamala Harris's candidacy, and all of the audience understands it too.
Play that cut one more time because I think it
just goes to the failure of the view of all
things to actually have a wide variety of views is
one of the issues that I think ABC News is
(23:47):
dealing with in general. Let's play that one more time.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I asked you if there was anything you would have
done differently than President Biden during the past four years,
and you said, quote, there is not a thing that
comes to mind. End quote. You're right, you had no idea.
You just pull the pin on a hand grenade in
the moment. I knew the Trump campaign weaponized your answer
(24:11):
against you my question, and some including James Carville and
Jake Tapper, point to that answer as a turning point
in your candidacy. Do you think that moment tiped the election?
No good because Sonny doesn't want to take the bleak.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I don't think it. Yeah, I don't think it tipped
the election. I just think it was solidifying. I think Clay,
if anything, that was a straw that broke the camel's
back situation. I don't think that it was. It's not
like everybody thought Kamala was great and then she said
that and they said, whoa where did that come from?
It was, Oh my god, she's as dumb and unprepared
as we thought she was this whole time. And even
(24:52):
people who maybe were open to I'll vote either way
had to see that and say this is preposterous.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I also think and you're going to be the expert
on this, because you have bought and downloaded the newest
Kamala book. You know how you when you finished your book,
and certainly when I finished my book, at some point
you've gone over it enough times that it's hard to
see it with a fresh eye because you poured over
it so much. I think one of the most challenging
aspects I would bet of making a movie, certainly, I
(25:22):
know writing a book is eventually seeing it as a
fresh reader will I think that is where instincts politically matter.
And what I have read already of the reviews of
Kamala's book is that I think she didn't understand how
much distaste there was for Joe Biden, and she didn't
(25:45):
think she had given a bad answer to that question.
And her advisors might not have realized it was a
bad answer either, because they're so close to the Biden
administration that they've lost perspective on how it looks to
the larger voting public, and they thought she needed to
ally herself with Biden because he was popular enough that
(26:06):
she couldn't show any distinction between herself and him.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
She she should have. If she were a skilled politician,
she would have known that the single biggest vulnerability that
Democrats had in this last election was the ten million
people who poured into the country via illegal and fraudulent means. Uh.
And if she had said, you know, we, if she
was a skilled politician, she would have said something in
(26:32):
my opinion, play like, you know, Joe Biden, we had
so many victories and and you know, there's I don't
want to forget about those, but I would say that
given the realities of the complexities of our immigration system,
we needed to have that reform done earlier to make
sure that only you know, the the legitimate asylum seekers
(26:53):
and the best in the brightest blah blah blah. And
that's what we'll do in my next term, is to
figure out how we're only getting or how we are
getting not only getting you know, great immigrants from all
over the world. You know, by the way, this audience
is not gonna like that answer, But that's an answer
that could have worked. That's the point. Instead, I think
you just said nonsense. I don't even think the answer
(27:13):
is that hard. If you are a decent politician, I
think the answer to that question is Joe Biden did
a lot of things. We took over an economy and
disaster because of the awful leadership. I'm answering it as
if I were Kamala the awful leadership of Donald Trump,
who failed to lead us well during COVID.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We took over a dumpster fire. First thing we had
to do was put the fire out. I understand that
people feel like they haven't seen the results of the
work we've done yet.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
That's what I'm here to do. We've put the fire out,
We're put America back on its feet, and we are
working towards getting things infinitely better. So there are a
lot of things that I think we both could have
done better. I think we did a much better job
than Trump, and I know we're going to do a
much better job in the next four years. Look, that's
me off the answering that question, and that's a great
(28:03):
non answer. That's a great non answer answer. But that's
all she had to do, right, is say something like
we've done great things, We're gonna do more great things.
You don't say I can't think of anything, because that
makes you seem like an empty vessel.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Not only that, it actually makes you endorse every decision
that has been made. As opposed to saying again, I
would pivot and attack Trump in that answer.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
He's so bad. We took over a dumpster fire.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
The first thing you have to do is put out
the fire, and it takes a while for the results
of the work we're doing. I'm a younger version of
Joe Biden. I'm gonna do a better job connecting with
the American public going forward. But I think we put
the country on great footing. Any answer like that, it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Vanishes, nobody pays attention to it. Look, I'll say this
and people will get mad at me, But that's okay
because you all know that it's true. Whatever you may
think of Sarah Palin. The answer with Katie Kuric was
a similar It was when someone asks you what do
you read? You say something, you say something you don't.
I don't say things like I read things basically or
(29:03):
you know, or what do you mean by that? Right now,
you could say that's unfair, No one is. You know,
I've a crash Katie Kurk more than probably anybody else
on the right these days. I mean, I still think
that the fact that she got as far as she
did in her career, she's just a ruthless mediocrity. But
I'm just saying that was a bad answer from Sarah Pillin.
So you can't do that. You can't have the non
answer to the question. That's an obvious question you should
(29:25):
be ready for because even passers by in politics pick
up on that and go, oh, that wasn't good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
And your job is to do two things as president,
make decisions and communicate. That's really it. Now, there are
complexities associated with it. If you can't answer basic questions.
Your job is a communicator. Let's leave aside the fact
that I think Kamalo would have been an awful decision
maker too, But if you can't even communicate answers to
(29:53):
basic questions, then you're in real trouble. Trump is an
elite communicator. I think he's making really good decisions too.
But those are the two jobs of the president, and
if you can't do both at a high level, you're
going to fail. And Biden was awful at everything. He
would have done better going full Costanza buck and just
taking the opposite of every choice he made.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
The country would have been better off. I want to
talk to you about the preborn network of clinics for
a moment. Preborn is saving lives day in and day out.
Here's what they're doing. They're standing athwart the wave of
abortions that are happening every day in this country and saying,
hold on, let's save as many lives as possible. By
giving love and support and consideration to all of these
(30:37):
women going into preborn clinics who have a crisis with
their pregnancy. They don't know what to do, they feel alone.
Preborn is there to help them, give them assistance and
offer a free ultrasound, to introduce that mother to her baby.
And once that happened, that moment so often changes everything
and the choice for life is made. Over three hundred
and fifty thousand babies have been saved by Preborn life
(31:00):
giving work, and for so many mothers, this means they
have a little boy or a little girl in this
world today and their families are growing in love because
Preborn was there for them. And you supported Preborn for
just twenty eight dollars a month, you can help Preborn
save a life right now. Twenty eight dollars that's the
price of an ultrasound that you'd be donating to a
mother and crisis with a little baby in the womb
(31:22):
dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's
pound two five zero say the keyword baby, or go

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Patriots Radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Okay, this
is something that is significant that I think actually ties
in quite a bit with the uh Jimmy Kimmel's story. So,
Jimmy Kimmel is going to be back on air much
of the nation, but not if you have a next
Star or a Sinclair affiliate carrying your ABC station. I
(32:10):
have a Next Star affiliate here in Nashville, So I
will not get Jimmy Kimmel's show tonight.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Some of you will, some of you will not. It
will return.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I'm sure we'll be talking about what he will say there.
But there has been a massive outpouring of attention on
Jimmy Kimmel not having his show. He was preempted, suspended,
whatever phrase you want to use from the Wednesday Thursday
Friday Monday editions of his program, and he is now
(32:41):
going to be back on air on Tuesday, So he
missed four shows. You would think that it was the largest,
most significant attack on free speech that we have ever
seen based on the response from the left. So Jimmy
misses four shows. Similarly, if you care about free speech,
that is almost going to get no attention whatsoever. But
(33:02):
I think is one of the most significant of the
twenty first century, and that is YouTube has admitted that
it censored conservative speakers on their platform at the behest
of the Biden administration. We're going to talk to Jim
Jordan about this tomorrow, but Buck, let me just give
you a sense for how this went down as someone
(33:25):
who ran a media company and needed to be making
money on YouTube, as many media companies do. Every time
I mentioned the COVID shot and said, hey, I don't
think you should get the COVID shot. I don't think
you need it if you're young and healthy, all these
(33:46):
things which have been proven to be true. You mentioned
masking every time I said things like wearing a mask
when you walk into a restaurant and then taking it
off when you sit down to the table is nonsensical,
we would get strikes, and when we got strikes, they
would prevent us from monetizing our content. And at one
(34:09):
point in time, because Tommy larn is also one of
our employees at OutKick, at one point in time they
suspended us, I believe it was for a month from
being able to make any money at all. And they
now are saying, hey, we shouldn't have done that, and
we'll talk about it with Jim Jordan. But this is
(34:31):
actual free speech being attacked. And unlike Jimmy Kimmel, who
would have the opportunity to miss four days and come
back and he's making millions of dollars, many people out there,
including you Buck, were curtailed significantly, including me, including the
company that I ran, OutKick, because we were willing to
(34:52):
say the truth about the COVID shot and about wearing
masks and about all of this such that this is
what they did. This is crazy, But I'm just I'm
taking you behind the curtain. I sold the company in
twenty twenty one. They stopped allowing my show to air
live and they would edit out any reference that I
(35:13):
happened to make to COVID shots, to masking, to schools
being closed, all those things, and then post it so
they could monetize the other aspects of the show. Think
about how crazy that is. That is what and again
this was the company to try to make money to
pay people salaries. YouTube is a huge driver of revenue
(35:37):
for virtually every media company in the country. Now, they
would not air my show live because we were getting
so many strikes that were disallowing us from being able
to monetize this damages It might be in the billions
of dollars that quote unquote conservative, I would just say
(35:58):
common sense YouTubers we're dealing with for simply questioning whether
we needed to be mandating shots, whether they made sense.
They essentially took the Biden administration and did what the
Biden administration would not be able to do, which is
sensor political speech.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
They would do it again. Yes, part of this that
we all know that's very frustrating. They're just backing off
right now because they don't want the eye of Trump
to focus in on them too closely in this moment
while our team, so to speak, is in power. That's so,
you know, it's hard to feel good about this other
than we were right, and you know, I had. I
(36:40):
had a you know, small YouTube channel that got shut down,
and it was the kind of thing where you get
a strike or two and then you don't want to
deal with it anymore and so you just stop. You know.
It was I was doing a radio show at the
time that I was trying to also just put stuff
out Clay on YouTube separately, and I just realized, this
is nonsense. I mean, I had a whole PolitiFact story
on me about asks and other things, you know, just
(37:02):
trying to trash me. And Facebook, by the way, the
same thing shut down on Facebook. Anyway, I'm not this
isn't what it was me. And they did it into
a lot of people in our space. In fact that
they didn't do it to you when you were a conservative,
I would wonder like where were you during COVID and
how are you in any way useful? But these these companies,
they're admitting it now, Like I said, because of where
(37:25):
the wind is blowing, they would we should not have
any illusions. They would do this again in a heartbeat,
and there's it's not a fair game. It's a rigged
game on YouTube. It's a rigged game on Facebook and
has been for years and rigged against people who are
right of center. So that is very frustrating because these platforms,
because they were just honest about it, and they got
(37:47):
really big. I mean, this is something that else that
I think everyone needs to understand. YouTube and Facebook in
the early days, they were Okay, we're going to allow
different perspectives, and it was essentially like a free speech
within the law, which is what it should always be.
People say, oh, but you know, you shouldn't be able
to just have copyrighted material, or oh, you shouldn't be
able to have you know, uh material that's illegal. Of course,
(38:10):
no one's saying that. This is about I don't like
the content. I'm going to and I'm going to block
the audience from seeing it and artificially shut it down,
which is what they did, and they did it for
purely partisan purposes. They should be ashamed. They're not ashamed.
I'll point this out to you. They don't care. They're
just doing what's smart for them right now. But for
(38:31):
a lot of us, man, this is uh, this is
a reminder of what we're up against and the kind
of stuff that they were pulling, and everything we said
that they were doing was true.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
This show YouTube refuse to allow us to post our
Rand Paul interview because of his city USA senator and
an MD, a medical doctor and a senator would not
let us put it on the internet running for re election,
when in theory, whatever you think about Ran Paul, you
should would want every single aspect of his political views
(39:03):
to be as widely distributed as possible. They took down
our interview with President Trump from Bedminster YouTube.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Now I want all of you to go subscribe to
YouTube Clay and Buck right now. But I guarantee you
we are still minimized in distribution and algorithmic h success
because of the problem. The ghosts and the machine linger
for a long time afterwards. Once once you're in YouTube jail,
you can basically never get out. That's the issue. Once
(39:33):
they decide that you're you're on the naughty list, you
don't get because it's all about the algorithmic showing of
shows to people so you can get more subscribers and
so that your own audience can see it. When they
decide that they're going to limit your reach, you're done.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
They put you. They put you in jail.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Here, by the way, is what the House Judiciary Committee
and Jim Jordan put out just specifically so you know
the Biden administry. Google it the following to the House
Judiciary Committee. One, the Biden administration pressured Google to censor
Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube's policies.
(40:11):
Two the Biden administration censorship pressure was quote unacceptable and wrong.
Three public debate should never come at the expense of
relying authorities. Four the company will never use third party
fact checkers and europe Sensor. Five europe censorship laws targeting
(40:34):
American companies and threatening American speech, including the removal of
lawful content. And again we'll talk with Jim Jordan about
this tomorrow. But this is crazy. We talked about it
on this program. Some of you will remember it. But
sitting United States Senator Ran Paul interviewed on this program
(40:55):
not allowed to be posted on YouTube President Trump. When
we set down with him at Bedminster and interviewed him,
they would not allow us to post that entire interview.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Can I just the Rand Paul issue as well had
to do with with COVID and FAUCI. Rand Paul is
a practicing medical doctor. Yes, he is an actual MD
and a US senator, and they didn't let us post
the interview on YouTube because it went against their communist guidelines.
I mean, they're the absurdity, right, I mean, they went
full Beijing on us with this stuff and just decided
(41:28):
what could and couldn't be said. And you know it
really YouTube showed us who they are. I mean, I
don't know, you know, look, I know I said that.
I said, well, subscribe to our YouTube channel. We'll use
all the tools at our disposal to get the message
out as far as we can, as fast as we
can while we have them. So I make no apologies
for that, to be clear. So, yeah, we want to
(41:49):
build up a YouTube presence now while we can as
long as we can, because we believe in what we
say and we think people need to hear it. But
is there trust? Is there trust that has been built
with these entities that can only be done over time,
That can only happen if they allow us to build
up the audience that we know we can have. But
we have millions of radio listeners, Clay, we're gonna you know,
(42:10):
we've been shadow banded on YouTube for a long time.
Now they're telling us it's gone. Well, now let's see
if it's gone.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I would also point out you will probably not hear
a word from anybody who has been screaming about Jimmy
Kimmel's free speech actually discussing Google admitting that YouTube, which
Google owns YouTube, that the Biden administration pressured Google slash
(42:37):
YouTube to restrict a lot of videos out there and
cost conservative media companies hundreds of millions of.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Dollars and maybe billions.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
And my concern is what you just laid out, Buck, Yeah,
they're doing this when Trump is in office. Now, is
that going to change whenever we have a Democrat back
in the White House. Probably? And this is where this matters.
The Supreme Court with on this one. The Supreme Court
had this case and it was I think one of
the most important First Amendment cases that they have had
(43:09):
in my life. The Biden administration on Facebook, on YouTube,
all over the internet, these social media companies, they restricted
speech by a third party. If you can deputize something
that the government cannot do, the government can't restrict your
(43:29):
own mind speech. If the government does it through a
third party, then they're just deputizing someone else to do
what they could not do. That's exactly what happened during COVID.
I mean, they're one of an opportunity. Yeah, one of
the worst Supreme Court decisions. I think we have six'
three one of the Worst Supreme court decisions we have
seen in a long. Time and IF i went back
(43:49):
and read through the, Decision, clay you, KNOW i scanned
through it. QUICKLY i don't have enough time to read
the whole thing, again BUT i went through just to
remind myself of.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
It and it was a lot of but can you
really prove That biden pushed, them and can you really
prove there was a? Harm and can you really tell
me they won't do this again or they will do this?
Again it's, like, well nothing is, certain, Guys BUT i
think it's pretty clear what happened. Here, yeah they did these.
THINGS i, Mean jensaki threatened the companies from The White
house press briefing and all of the emails illustrate what
(44:20):
they were. Doing the fact that this was not an,
opportunity that The Supreme court didn't take this opportunity to say,
stridently this is unacceptable and we're not going to stand for.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
IT i think it's a failure of this Current Supreme.
COURT i think it's the.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Beginning Of Amy, Cony barrett And. Roberts let you, Down.
Clay that's not the first or the last, time, unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Sadly and this goes TO i don't think they understand
The internet that. Well AND i don't mean that as
a huge. Insult most seventy something year old people and
most sixty something year old people don't really understand how
the internet. WORKS i THINK i understand pretty well how
The internet. WORKS i don't Understand admiralty lall very. Well
(45:04):
it's hard to be an expert on everything they whipped here, Though,
yeah well they it's it is the public square now
because it is so much faster and more powerful than
printing out a pamphlet and handing it out to people
in the town. Square online is the town square. Now
if you don't have free speech, online you don't have
it meaningfully. Anywhere and that's the. Problem that's WHAT i
(45:26):
think they don't really, grasp you, know they still think, like,
Well Thomas pain and his. Pamphlets it's Like Thomas.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Pain would be all over the internet if you were around,
today all, right it would be a very different. World

this morning saying the trumpy, things very very good stuff
from our commander in. Chief we shall get into some
of that here, momentarily BUT i would ask for a moment.
HERE i just wanted to throw this in the mix
before too much time has passed play and put out
(48:01):
maybe a call for any of Our New jersey listeners
to email us or you, know VIPs email us or
send in some talkbacks In New jersey and we'll get
some of them later on about, this because there are
guba of toil races that are. Underway some of them
are going to be hotly contested in important, states places Like.
Virginia we had win some sears on she's lieutenant. Governor
(48:24):
very impressive. Woman but In New. Jersey Remember New jersey
was a much closer. Election what was, It, Clay it
was not, this but it was it was in the
off year that that That glenn was up in.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Point or two in twenty twenty. One and Remember trump's
only Lost New jersey by five last, year and they
think The trump team does if they had Had commawa
level money that they could have Flip New jersey into their.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Column So New jersey is still, blue but it's it's
more interesting than they wanted to, be for, sure and
this might help a bit. More this is just one
of the great moments On charlemagne The god on The Breakfast.
Club mister The god was sitting down With democrat Candidate
(49:15):
New Jersey Governor Mikey. Cheryl so The, democrat, Sorry democrat
candidate for, Governor Mikey, cheryl And i'm not. Familiar that's
Why i'm asking people to weigh in a little bit
on what DO i need to know About Mikey. Cheryl
but this was a great, moment and mister The god
asked about, this AND i think it was worth us
(49:36):
all just hearing for a, second because people are very
sick and tired of members Of, congress particularly who seemingly
are trading in a way in the stock market that
mirrors information that they would only have access to because
of things that they're doing In congress and making a
(49:57):
lot of. Money she was Asked Mikey aryl about, this
and here is the response from the Breakfast. CLUB a
couple of days, ago play this one When newsmax claimed
that you made seven million dollars from stock? Trades what
are they talking?
Speaker 6 (50:10):
About News max, is first of, all a very questionable
organization that is paying multiple. Fines i'm not sure what
they're talking.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
About, well did you make seven million in stock trades at?
Speaker 6 (50:21):
ALL I i. HAVEN'T i don't BELIEVE i. Did But
i'd have to go see what that was alluding to,
again what kind of came from uh?
Speaker 2 (50:34):
CLAY i think if you're a member Of congress making
about one hundred and eighty. Grand by the, WAY i
think that if you made seven million dollars trading the stock,
market whether somebody else is making those trades on your
behalf or you're making, THEM i think you should.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Know unless you're a billionaire and so rich that you
could plausibly SAY i don't know what happened with seven million.
Dollars ninety nine point nine to nine percent of people
In america would know if they made seven million dollars
or not in the stock. MARKET a lot of you
(51:12):
out there would know if you made seven hundred dollars
in the stock market or. Not certainly seven thousand or seventy,
thousand to say nothing of seven.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Million these people are so bad at this. BUCK i
JUST i watch.
Speaker 1 (51:27):
So many of these, politicians and we've reached, out by the,
way To Jack, ciarelli who is The republican contender who
almost won in twenty twenty. One he is the nominee
on The republican side for this. Race to remind all of,
You virginia And New jersey and the mayor Of New
York city are all off calendar, elections so they will
(51:49):
be taking place This. November that's in basically six. Weeks
some of you basically can already go early vote on
THESE i JUST i mean credit To, charlottage the god
who is of the, LEFT i, think but is kind
of pointing, out, ay seven million. Dollars can you follow
up and just kind of tell us about.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
Come, here all, Right i've got Some i've got some
some stats and numbers to throw into the. Mix. Here
cheryl MAKES i said one hundred and eight one hundred
and seventy four grand As New jersey's eleventh congressional district.
Rep so she, remember they have financial disclosures, everybody so
we can know this. Public it's public record how much
(52:30):
money these individuals have within a, range but you have
some sense of, it, Right so in twenty, nineteen she
reported total assets between seven hundred and thirty And i'm
just gonna abbreviate the numbers, here but seven hundred and
thirty thousand and four point three million. Dollars now that's
a huge. Range by the, way, yes does that includes your?
House you, know to anybody, listening the difference in being
(52:50):
worth seven hundred grand on paper and being worth four
million on paper feels like a. Lot but, anyway that's
where she. Was But clay in her most recent, one
in her most recent disclosure, form she's worth more like twelve. Million,
yeah this and so point and so you say to,
(53:11):
yourself wait a, second she's making one hundred and seventy
Four it's not like she had some huge trust, fund
because we would know that from the financial disclosure forms.
Previously so somehow she has And Jack chidarelli has come
out and hammered her on. This somehow while a member
Of congress sitting on The Arms Services, committee who allegedly
(53:33):
has a fondness for Trading clay and defense, stocks, saying,
interesting she has gone from being worth you, know let's
call it a couple million dollars to put it in
the middle to being worth about twelve million. DOLLARS i,
mean she could be worth as much as four million
there even, still that would be a tripling of her
net worth while making one hundred and eighty grand a. Year,
(53:55):
now sometimes spouses make the, money which can all also
sometimes be, suspect right because they'll, say, well this is
not the money That i'm, making this is my. SPOUSE
i think this is what happened With AND i don't
even know who her spouse is. Now But Elon, holman
now he's we'll get he's an investment, banker so his
compensation may be a significant part of. This But, clay
(54:19):
she was fined for failing to disclose stock sales in
twenty twenty. One, well this is where it gets very.
Speaker 1 (54:27):
Shady, okay correct me If i'm wrong on, this because
this seems like something that shouldn't be. Allowed you basically
cannot prosecute elected officials like congressmen and senators for insider, trading,
correct because they get all sorts of information that is
not public and then they're allowed to trade on. It
(54:47):
and this is where it gets super. Shady this is
like The Nancy pelosi. Situation the spouse oftentimes is the
person who's actually trading on, this and they are able
to monitor this in a way that is hyper. Shady,
remember if you look At Nancy pelosi's trading record for,
stocks she's somehow better Than Warren buffett at buying and selling.
(55:11):
Stocks there's A nancy tracker out there where you can
look at all the Moves pelosi. Makes because they have
to disclose, IT i don't understand why it isn't basic
required for everybody out there to put their holdings.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
In a trust and just use.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
That let me give you an, Example, Buck most of
my money AFTER i sold Out kick that is not
in real estate is IN smp five hundred index. Funds that,
IS i just buy the five hundred largest companies In.
America ninety percent of the, time the s AND p
five hundred outperforms. EXPERTS i am not buying large buying
(55:54):
and selling very many. Stocks now there's no restriction on
me buying and selling very many stock in the first.
Place BUT i would say about five percent of my
stock assets are in physical stocks THAT i, control and
about ninety five percent is effectively AN s AND p
five hundred index. FUNDS i don't understand why it isn't
(56:14):
standard for, Everybody, Democrat, Republican, independent who was elected To
congress to put their, assets their four oh ONE, k
their individual, stocks just put it into a index fund
and Say i'm not going to buy and sell individual
stocks While i'm a representative of The United States. Congress
what AM i missing here to? Me that seems like
(56:35):
it should be standard for everyone out. There and if
they're arguing, OTHERWISE i think it's highly suspect for people
to be trading hundreds of times in a. Year and
remember what happened DURING, covid BECAUSE i haven't forgotten. This
remember when they got the briefings about how DANGEROUS covid
(56:55):
was going to be and what was going to, happen
and a ton of congressmen and women immediately sold all
their stocks before the stock market started to. Decline they
got access to information that you AND i didn't have
access to about what was going to happen in terms of.
Shutdowns the stock market, plummeted and a lot of congressmen
(57:15):
and women sold before the stock market collapsed and then
bought at bottoms and made a ton of money off
information that's not. PUBLIC i don't know What i'm missing.
Here this, CANDIDATE i think is. LYING i think she
has likely benefited off inside. Information but this is. Important
when it comes to. Corruption we don't just focus on corruption.
(57:39):
Itself we focus on the appearance of corruption because it's
so toxic to public. Trust how is there not a
direct appearance of corruption when individual congressmen and women are
making trades and destroying the greatest investors of our lifetimes
in their. Results just just so everybody once in something
(58:00):
like The National Defense Authorization act or one of those
big omnibus or you, Know perculus or whatever you want
to call, it these big bills that come out where
they're just full of, pork and they're full of all this.
Spending if you're on some committee and you know that
a certain defense contractor for, example is about to get,
(58:21):
correct a three or five or ten billion dollar government,
contract guess, What it's probably gonna.
Speaker 2 (58:28):
Go up as a. Stock, OKAY i think we all understand.
That and so if you are essentially now you know the.
Rules they've changed the rules so that technically there's like
a little more reporting and, Stuff but you're not barred from,
trading and let's just let's just, think let's just be
honest about. This have you seen anybody get in trouble
for insider trading from The United States. Congress, No i'm
(58:49):
not aware of it right. NOW i think buck that they're.
Not you're not allowed to be prosecuted for. IT i
think the case they changed the. Rule let me let
me check on. It they made some The Stock, act
they made some adjustment to. It BUT i think it's
like you can't be prosecuted for knowledge that comes from
the course of your, job which is the whole point of.
That let me check on this. ONE i got to
(59:09):
see what the rules are because this was. Clay this
has been a push for over a. Decade people have
been trying to you, know trying to figure out why
members Of congress are able to get so.
Speaker 1 (59:22):
Rich but larger, issue yes on. That to, me it's
just it shouldn't be. Allowed minor issue or secondary issue
as it pertains to this. Race if you made seven
million dollars in stock, trades you better have a good
explanation for how that. Happened and again the husband may
(59:45):
well be the. Reason but to, claim OH i don't.
Know i'd have to look into. That how out of
touch are you if you can make seven million dollars
and not recall whether or not it, happened unless you're
a billionaire and your stock price valuation is constantly going
up and. Down, again All i'm saying, Is i'm not
a congress. PERSON snb five hundred index funds a good.
(01:00:07):
Option why would we not make that standard for anybody
who's in the elective. Office, now there are some, complexities
usually blind, trust and this is getting into. Specifics let's
say you own a company and that company is publicly.
Traded you can just, say, Hey i'm not going to
buy or sell, stock or it's a blind, Trust i'm
not managing. It there are lots of ways to handle
(01:00:27):
this that do not create this, huge this huge impression
of impropriety that to me would make a lot of.
Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Sense, WELL i just would, Know. Clay, so two former
members of The house Of representatives have been prosecuted and
convicted for insider, trading which The Stock act of twenty,
twelve that's WHAT i Referred so this has been going
on for a. While so there is This Stock, act
it doesn't bar them from trading obviously there's disclosure. Requirements
but here's the. Thing it's super hard because of the
(01:00:59):
information that they're coming into contact with is of a political.
Nature it can be very like if you're going to
invest in a big defense contractor what's how do you
know that you don't just you, know they get into
this mosaic defense strategy for white collar criminals have, like,
well DID i do it BECAUSE i thought of this
bill that's coming, up or BECAUSE i love the fundamentals
AND i KNOW i read the? Letters TEN. K i,
(01:01:20):
mean that's, well also curious on, WHATEVER i would be
curious what the prosecution for insider trading is because those
guys could have been prosecuted for actual insider trading that
had nothing to do With. Congress.
Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Right in other, WORDS i believe the testimony that you
hear behind closed doors is not allowed to be prosecutable
for insider. Trading you could still be prosecuted, if for,
instance you're out of office and your cousin calls you
and he sits on the board OF x company and he, says,
hey we're about.
Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
To that's what. Happened. Yeah by the, way they actually
were not. Prosecuted this is very important. Clarification they were
not prosecuted for anything under The Stock act or anything
having to do With. Congress they were prosecuted for insider
trading access they had before being In. Congress, yes that's
a different. Thing this is What i'm, Saying, like you
basically get a free reign to insider trade At. Congress
(01:02:16):
so my initial premise of, like no one In congress
has ever that no one In congress has ever been
prosecuted for Insider congress insider congressional. Information that is.
Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
True which, anyway some breaking news as we go to
commercial break, Here, buck there has been a verdict reached
in the second assassin attempt Of President trump In, florida
The West Palm beach, assassin AND i would imagine that
he has been found, guilty but we will see what
that result.

Safe Clay, Travison Buck sexton mic drops that never sounded so.
Good find them on the Free iHeartRadio app or wherever
you get your.
Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Podcasts
People ask us all the time how we can save
the next generation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We've got our show and the info is an antidote.
But we also have a couple books coming out, Clay.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
That's right, and you can pre order both of them
right now and be book nerds just like us.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You'll laugh, you'll nod, and you'll get smarter too.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Mine's called Balls, How Trump young men in sports saved America.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And mine is manufacturing delusion How the Left uses brainwashing,
indoctrination and propaganda against you. Both are great reads.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
One might even say they would make fabulous gifts.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Indeed, so do us a solid and pre order yours
on Amazon today. Welcome everybody, Tuesday edition of the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We are raped in stacks
a lot talk to you about today, breaking down all
the news for you. Trump at the United Nations producer
Greg among others, snarled in endless traffic while bureaucrats from
(00:56):
around the planet run up their government expense accounts that
are very New York City restaurants and block off lots
of streets, which makes it impossible to get anywhere. If
we're going to have the UN on us soil, which
I don't really think we should. We should have it
in like you know, I don't know, Wilmington or Omaha
(01:16):
or you name it. It should not be in New York
City because it makes everything a mess for the eight
million people who actually live there for the two weeks
it's there. I know Omaha listeners, we have a robust
audience there. You're yelling at me. Absolutely not. Okay, Well,
maybe Wilmington. I don't know how many Wilmington listeners we have.
But it should be in some place, you know, Clay,
(01:36):
there's a reason that so many countries have these capitals
that they've set up to be the capital. This is true,
which is originally true of Washington, DC, but it's true
in a lot of countries more recently, you know, whether
it's Brazilia in Brazil or Islamabad because they want to
put all the government infrastructure there and it's just easier.
(01:58):
Putting the United Nations in midtown Manhattan is a mess anyway.
Enough for the logistics of that. I've given love to
our WR listeners who have probably had a rough commute.
If you can work remote for the next week or
two at the UN with the UN General Assembly going on,
you should do so. But Trump was there. He's laying
down the law and a whole bunch of things. I
love that he is telling people forget about this climate
(02:19):
change nonsense, because this is going to be a moment, Clay,
where the Libs all of a sudden pretend again to
care about climate change. It's one of these rare issues
that it is. It is. It's not just that it's
a big issue. And we're about to get into Jimmy Kimmel,
We're about to get into Kamala's book. We got a
million things. I'm a little fired up about you. You
reminded me.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I meant to mention yesterday about how climate change has
vanished Sunday New York Times magazine cover. Why does no
one talk about climate change?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Now? That's why I'm saying this for weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's meant to I meant to bring it up yesterday
because I was reading the Sunday New York Times. I
do it so you don't have to much like buck,
this brand new Kamala Harris first edition is going to
be reading it, so you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Is it a signed you did, I don't know. It
will be when Clay goes to the book event though
it was a huge cover story. And again I'm paraphrasing,
but it basically this Sunday was, why do we not
talk about climate change anymore?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Have we just given up? You know, you're true, You're
correct that it has vanished.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It went from the thing that they were obsessed with,
that we didn't care about at all, and nobody cares
about it, and now they're going to pretend they care again,
sort of like also the war in Ukraine where all
those Ukraine flags, Ukraine needs the Libs that care so
much about who controls don Boss now more than ever,
and yet not seeing a lot of that, not seeing
a lot almost like this is a thing that people
(03:39):
attach themselves to so that they can feel good about
themselves without any actual skin of the game or doing anything. Okay,
certainly true of climate change, I might add, But we
will talk more about what Trump has said at the
United Nations. We'll certainly discuss Kamala's book, which is I
gotta say, it's just everybody just crash this thing so far,
(04:01):
and I don't mean to be clear. Usually this book
would come out, uh from a Democrat who would just
run and if she had a future. Not gonna argue
with clearver this today. But we all know how we
feel about this. If she had a future, there would
be a lot of people in the Democrat establishment who
were saying, you know, oh, man, like it just was
so tough for her and and you know, she's she's
(04:21):
a great candidate, and everyone's saying, wow, it's kind of
nasty and uh and really not not so good. And
we'll talk about some of the clips and some of
her promo for the book. And yes, I did buy
a copy of it, which I feel guilty about, but
I had to do it. That team, you know that
that that that just is one of these things. I
will take one for the team. I don't know what
else to tell you. Uh so I'm doing that. And
(04:44):
we've also got uh what else is in the mix here?
YouTube YouTube dive again.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And this is gonna be a big story going forward
because just as yet another thing that we were right
about and told you what was happening, and now they're like, oh, yeah,
by the way, we were since everybody about COVID and banning,
all sorts of people who ended up being right about
everything are bad, you know, are bad.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Sorry, and you're just like I had a personal YouTube
channel that did shut down, strike strike shut down. I mean,
over and over again. I stopped with YouTube because I
was like, this is crazy because you couldn't even say,
I could not say, don't that mask wearing outside was
unnecessary outside, which every single study, all of the data
(05:30):
is that that is absolutely worthless and insane. There's no
reason it didn't Yes, didn't matter. Masking was a religion,
kind of like climate change is a religion for people
who think they're too smart for religion. As I've told you.
We'll get into all that though, And yeah, the YouTube censorship.
Speaking of censorship, Jimmy Kimmel, Oh, Jimmy Kimmel's his his
his face painted on walls and water towers across America.
(05:55):
And what happened to Jimmy Kimmel. He was off the
air for four days, four shows, four shows, and Disney
brings him right back. This is funny because there have
been libs who have canceled. Here's Howard Stern who's become
a huge, very annoying lib. Maybe he always was, but
(06:16):
at least now he's really bad. Here he is fifteen saying, well,
I'll let you hear it from this guy play fifteen.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I just know when the government begins to interfere, When
the government says I'm not pleased with you, so we're
going to orchestrate a way to silence you. It's the
wrong direction for our country. And I should know. I've
been involved in something like this, and now ABC is
put in the same position. And it's unfortunate that ABC
even has to.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Be in this position.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
They shouldn't have to be in this position. I feel
for them too in this, but someone's got to step
up and be saying, hey, enough, we're not gonna bow.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It might sound stupid, but the thing I did this morning,
I'm canceling my Disney. Plus I'm trying to say with
the pocketbook that I do not support what they're doing
with Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, can I just point this out now, we say
you cancel Disney, so I guess he's gonna resubscribe to
Disney off the air for four days. These libs are
such babies. This is not even a scentilla Clay. This
is not even a tiny little sliver of the cancelation
and censorship and everything that the right has been dealing
(07:24):
with for twenty years now. Especially online, and we're supposed
to care that Jimmy kim The government didn't take him
off the air, you know how we know that he's
back on the air. I guess the government wasn't so
scary after all. ABC News did this, I think to
protect him, because the second round of what he was
gonna say on air was even dumber than the first.
I think there's truth to that.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I have been saying since this all started, and I
think people are gonna slowly start to recognize this is
about Disney trying to buy the NFL network. I'm sorry,
Jimmy Kimmel was just a pawn here. I think if
Disney could just do away with almost all news, I
think they would because they've basically done it at ESPN.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
ESPN breaks no news.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Now, they're in bed with the NFL, they're in bed
with the SEC, they're in bed with the NBA. Every
time they break news it just hurts their business partners,
and so they're basically just a glorified middleman when it
comes to sports. And then I think Disney just wants
to make look left wing unfortunate programming, but I don't
(08:29):
think they actually want to do news. I think if
they could sell ABC News and get out of the
news business completely. I think it's just a mess to them.
It doesn't make any money. Jimmy Kimmel's show loses money
at this point if you were just analyzing aspects of
their business. This creates way more headaches than it does
provide profits.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And that's a bad combination. And I think they want out.
You know. I got to say, when I'm at the
Jim Clay down to one ninety. By the way, I'm
coming for you, buddy. You want You're gonna catch me.
You want eighty five? Yeah, I don't know. I saw
you putting away that ham sandwich other day. I'm thinking
one eighty seven maybe, But anyway, yes, I'm I'm uh.
(09:11):
By the way, I have to respect one thing about Clay.
You know, you all know Clay is uh. Clay is Clay,
and he's been a he's been a very uh successful entrepreneur.
Put it that way. He will still drink a big
old bottle of mountain dew in our studio. He is
the only person I know, the only human being I
know who in his forties drinks mountain dew. So I'm
(09:33):
i gotta say Clay does not changed one bit. Lara
has gotten me to give up soda, but then I
just blow you up in front of it. Well, I
occasionally will have a soda, but it is super unhealthy.
I get ripped all the time for the clothes that
I wear, uh, for the uh for the.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
The food choices that I make. I really haven't changed
very much since I was like eighteen, for better or worse.
So when it comes to what I wear.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Or what I eat and uh so, I would just
say all back to the kimmelwig for a second, because
I was I was saying when I go to the gym,
and I've gotten that one ninety now, whenever I see
the screen, it's always sports in my gym. They know,
they don't allow Fox News. All these sports are on
all they don't have any news to be fair, really,
maybe CNN's on sometimes I gotta talk to them about that,
(10:20):
but I see what that what the headlines are, and
it's never news about sports. It's always just people having inane,
inane discussions like is so and and you know, I know,
you know all these people in their backgrounds, I mean,
the people they're talking about, But it's always is so
and so's new coaching contract like too much or just
(10:40):
about right? And then you have adults sitting around talking.
I'm like, who cares? Like what is this? You're very
someone else's coaching pay another four people at a table
and I can just see because it's all scrolling with
the text, Like I cannot believe there are adults having
this conversation and this is like a thing that they're
doing on this show. Who Cares? But but I have
even noticed that it's not sports reporting anymore. They're not
(11:05):
breaking news about the sports industry. It's like who's better?
You know, it's all versions of who's better Lebron or Jordan.
It's all, you know. I take this side, you take
that side of inane argument at ESPN, and I think
it's just because you're right about how they really just
want to be a middleman broadcasting of live sports with
a lot of chatter in between. The last.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The worst thing for them would be to blow up
one of their franchise properties because they do a story
that knocks a really good talented player out of being
able to be on television for them because it costs
them money. Speaking of being on television, I now have
an FS one show where I sit around and talk
about all the inane sports things that airs at six
(11:45):
pm Eastern. I got every the gym now every Wednesday,
if you're working out at six pm FS one, you'll
just see me. This is actually pretty funny. It's just
me sitting and making sports arguments. I don't have anybody
that I'm debating. It's just me in my own head. Laura,
today this is one hundred percent try. We're taping it.
We tape it a day early. She said what time
(12:08):
are you taping? And I was like, oh, maybe she
wants to come up pay attention see the you know,
sports arguments. And I was like, oh, you know, two
thirty and she said okay, and I was like, you know,
you got something going on. She was like no, I
just want to make sure that we have someone putting
makeup on you because and I was like, well, I've
been doing television for a long time. You know, I
don't ever wear makeup unless I'm in a studio. And
(12:30):
she was like yeah, but this one, they really kind
of zoom in on you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It is all.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And I was like, so you're telling me I have
to wear She was like yeah, yeah, I think you
have to wear makeup, so this is uh, I will
be made up but I but I usually am never
in makeup for any hit. But Laura was like, no,
the camera's two h D. They're too close. They really
zoom in on you. You need to have makeup on.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
She's just look, she's just looking out for you. No
one's got to tell you the hard truths play and
I guess ready she's ready for it. I will say this.
Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. We both said this
was going to happen, so we we knew this was
going to happen. I pointed out immediately when this happened,
I said, guys, it's an indefinite suspension. That does not
mean And even the White House was saying, oh, he's
been canceled. He's you know his show has been canceling. No,
(13:15):
it hasn't. He's back on the air, very curious to
see if there's I don't think they'll really. My guess
is there won't only be any shift in the ratings.
But to me, Clay, more than anything else, this just
goes to show you libs have no idea what actual
censorship and being shut down is because they don't experience it.
And the moment that they can even make a fake argument,
in my opinion, this was always a ABC was always
(13:37):
driving this ship. It was not the trumpet Trump administration
that was at the helm here. And and the fact
that they tried to make this argument so quickly and
so you know, so vociferously, just goes to show you
they're a bunch of cry babies and they just want
different rules for us and different rules for them. And
unfortunately they still have it at ABC.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
One wrinkle here that is not being talked about very
much but is still employed. A next Star and Sinclair
are not carrying it. So, for instance, in Nashville, my
ABC affiliate, I won't be able to watch the Jimmy
Kimmel Show. And many of you out there that have
(14:15):
either a Sinclair or Next Star affiliate, you wouldn't know
unless you put your television on at eleven thirty PM
Eastern ten thirty Central, you wouldn't really know whether or
not probably who your affiliate is. But that is something
that I think could still be an issue because around
thirty five percent of viewers nationwide will not have access
(14:38):
to this show. And I'm curious somewhat to see what
he says. I'll tell you what I think he should
say when we come back. In the meantime, it's been
nearly two years since Amas Terris murdered more than twelve
hundred innocent Israelis took two hundred and fifty hostages before
the day was over. In a couple of weekends, there's
going to be a special remembrance and remember Hamas still
(14:59):
has high hostages. Two years. They have been holding some
of these hostages this weekend. As we get ready a
couple of weekends from now, Flags of Fellowship is going
to be going on, organized by the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews. Date is Sunday, October fifth, just a
couple of weeks away. Millions of Americans will plant an
(15:20):
Israeli flag in honor and solidarity with the victims of
October seventh, twenty twenty three and their grieving families. To
learn how you can join the Flags of Fellowship movement,
visit the fellowship online at IFCJ dot org. Stand up
for Israel and join the movement. That's IFCJ dot.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Org Saving America, one thought at a time. Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton them find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
All right, let's talk Tamala for a little bit, because
she's on her book tour. You'll remember kam Harrish's a
vice president for four years. She was disastrous in every
role they pretended to give her. She didn't even have
to do anything, she just had to not make it
clear that she had no idea about the thing that
she had been made in charge of. Or those are
(16:15):
of like the border, well, we all remember we've been
to the border, unless her halt being like, lady, you
haven't been to the border, Like you can't. You know,
there's only so much we can do for you here
at the ABC News right NBC.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I think if less if Lester Holt lights you up,
I mean that's like, you know, that's like like mister.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Rogers throwing an elbow and hit you right in the jaw.
You know, that's tough.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Like you know, like if if you were walking down
the street and you bumped into Al Roker and he
like just beat you, beat you up, you'd be like,
I don't feel good about your chances to defend yourself
against anybody. I mean, when you get bodied by Lester Holt.
You're probably not a very serious politician.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Old school ow would have had a little more weight
to throw behind it, but uh, you know, to be fair.
But now yeah, now you can't you can't get you
can't get slapped around by him. We have so much
about Kamala that's worth discussing, and let's let's just go
back to this one because her book is out now.
And remember, if you're like buck, why do we care? Well,
(17:12):
first of all, there's an election coming up in a year,
basically fifteen months or so. You're going to start to
see people at the exploratory committees and raising money whatever,
So it's not that far out. But even beyond that,
who's the leader of the Democrat Party right now? And
we talk about this day to day because we know
there's opposition to Trump and the Republicans out there. We
(17:32):
know that they actually got a lot of votes in
this last election. We're not forgetting about that. But there
has to be some group of people, if not one person,
who are really driving the you know, driving the vote
or you know, making making the decisions about where the
party's going. And it's very unclear right now in a
way that it has never been. We we have lived
(17:54):
Clay right through the era of Clinton's Obama's bided a
little bit. But you know, there have been these names
in politics, like we all knew who the top Democrats were,
more or less for the last twenty years, who the
big names were. And you know, there was a little
period where you had some you know, John Kerry was
(18:14):
making a play for it, right, and there have been
some others. But now we don't know. And it's worth
noting that they don't know either. And it's fun to
watch the scramble here on the View trying to push
her book, and I'm sure she wants to sell a
lot of copies because Comma wants to make money. The
View host Sonny Houston, who I am told reliably by
(18:36):
the way, Clay from a source very close to the show,
is incredibly hostile to both staff and fellow panelists on that.
Does that surprise you at all? Nope, But I was
just told that recently. I cannot divulge sources, but she
is the story. I am told that she is a
nightmare to deal with for everybody. Everybody on that show
(18:57):
and Seid so all the like we love each other's
is nonsense. If you had to pick one who is impossible,
it's her. I guess by far. I don't even think
there would be a close second. Look.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think that Whoopi Goldberg and Enjoy Behar often say
and make moronic arguments, but they are to be fair
comedians and background. Sonny is arrogant and dumb, which is
a bad combination because she has no idea.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
What she's talking about. This is one of the things
like Notre Dame. Yeah, there's like a bitterness to her too.
All the time. Notre Dame Law School should ask for
the JV back. She is awful and she seems awful,
so that does not surprise me at all. So you
will recall little throwback here, little throwback Tuesday to October
(19:46):
eighth of twenty twenty four, so coming up on almost
exactly a year ago. And that's also the other part
of this, right, it was a year ago that they
were telling us Kamala is great. Vote for Kamala. You
gotta vote for Kamala. We could tell they're like, do
you really want to vote for Kamala? Though? Do you
really want to? Not really? But here was about a
year ago Kamala when asked on the View by Sonny
(20:09):
Houston if she would do anything differently, and this was
magnufique perfection play it.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
If anything, would you have done something differently than President
Biden during the past four years? There is done a
thing that comes to mind in terms of and I've
been a part of most of the decisions that have
had impact.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Clay Clay, that was That was a moment where I
was feeling so good about the prediction that he was
going to do even better against against Kamala, that Trump
was than he did against Hillary. She did you want
she was? Let's repact to that again.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I mean, Kamala has had and even back then, had
months to prepare for every possible question that could be answered,
could be asked.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
This is not a very difficult proposition. You and I.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You're going to have your book coming out in January.
I'll have my book coming out in November. We will
be asked hundreds of questions as part of book promotion,
and we will have had no preparation. We'll have no whiteboarding,
We'll have no team that sits around and just sketches
out what our answers to questions should be, because we're
(21:19):
not morons. This was an inevitable and totally expected question
that she bungled, and then she's talking about it now,
she's promoting. She went back on for the first time,
and I don't even know what the conversation was, but
we've got audio of Sunny Houston following twenty four play it.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I asked you if there was anything you would have
done differently than President Biden during the past four years,
and you said, quote, there is not a thing that
comes to mind. End quote. You're right, you had no idea.
You just pull the pin on a hand grenade. In
the moment, I knew the Trump campaign weaponized your answer
(21:58):
against you question, and some including James Carvill and Jake Tapper,
point to that answer as a turning point in your candidacy.
Do you think that moment tipped the election? No good
because Sonny doesn't want to take the blame.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Can I can I point something out, Clay, just in
the lack of logic that even Sonny hostin in that
one little moment shows us she knows that it's a
horrible answer herself. She said that she knew right away.
Oh my god, Kamala's answer is absolutely atrocious. But then
she goes to and Republicans weaponized weaponized, meaning like they
(22:38):
what they took it out of context. They were on
fair No, if you knew it was a moronic answer, Sonny,
everybody knew it was a moronic answer.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
They didn't weaponize her answer, they just used her answer. Yes,
she weaponized the answer by being a moron. But I
so I jotted down on my little yellow notepad weaponized
your answer, which you just hit second part there that
I also jotted down. Everybody laughed because they know that
(23:06):
Sonny Hostin is not there to actually do journalism. She's
there to burnish Kamala Harris's credentials. Play that cut again
because the weaponized answer is interesting. But the joke that
everybody laughs at because it's true, is Sonny Hostin didn't
want to do anything that might in any way harm
(23:27):
Kamala Harris's candidacy, and all of the audience understands it too.
Play that cut one more time because I think it
just goes to the failure of the view of all
things to actually have a wide variety of views is
one of the issues that I think ABC News is
(23:47):
dealing with in general. Let's play that one more time.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I asked you if there was anything you would have
done differently than President Biden during the past four years,
and you said, quote, there is not a thing that
comes to mind. End quote. You're right, you had no idea.
You just pull the pin on a hand grenade in
the moment. I knew the Trump campaign weaponized your answer
(24:11):
against you my question, and some including James Carville and
Jake Tapper, point to that answer as a turning point
in your candidacy. Do you think that moment tiped the election?
No good because Sonny doesn't want to take the bleak.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I don't think it. Yeah, I don't think it tipped
the election. I just think it was solidifying. I think Clay,
if anything, that was a straw that broke the camel's
back situation. I don't think that it was. It's not
like everybody thought Kamala was great and then she said
that and they said, whoa where did that come from?
It was, Oh my god, she's as dumb and unprepared
as we thought she was this whole time. And even
(24:52):
people who maybe were open to I'll vote either way
had to see that and say this is preposterous.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I also think and you're going to be the expert
on this, because you have bought and downloaded the newest
Kamala book. You know how you when you finished your book,
and certainly when I finished my book, at some point
you've gone over it enough times that it's hard to
see it with a fresh eye because you poured over
it so much. I think one of the most challenging
aspects I would bet of making a movie, certainly, I
(25:22):
know writing a book is eventually seeing it as a
fresh reader will I think that is where instincts politically matter.
And what I have read already of the reviews of
Kamala's book is that I think she didn't understand how
much distaste there was for Joe Biden, and she didn't
(25:45):
think she had given a bad answer to that question.
And her advisors might not have realized it was a
bad answer either, because they're so close to the Biden
administration that they've lost perspective on how it looks to
the larger voting public, and they thought she needed to
ally herself with Biden because he was popular enough that
(26:06):
she couldn't show any distinction between herself and him.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
She she should have. If she were a skilled politician,
she would have known that the single biggest vulnerability that
Democrats had in this last election was the ten million
people who poured into the country via illegal and fraudulent means. Uh.
And if she had said, you know, we, if she
was a skilled politician, she would have said something in
(26:32):
my opinion, play like, you know, Joe Biden, we had
so many victories and and you know, there's I don't
want to forget about those, but I would say that
given the realities of the complexities of our immigration system,
we needed to have that reform done earlier to make
sure that only you know, the the legitimate asylum seekers
(26:53):
and the best in the brightest blah blah blah. And
that's what we'll do in my next term, is to
figure out how we're only getting or how we are
getting not only getting you know, great immigrants from all
over the world. You know, by the way, this audience
is not gonna like that answer, But that's an answer
that could have worked. That's the point. Instead, I think
you just said nonsense. I don't even think the answer
(27:13):
is that hard. If you are a decent politician, I
think the answer to that question is Joe Biden did
a lot of things. We took over an economy and
disaster because of the awful leadership. I'm answering it as
if I were Kamala the awful leadership of Donald Trump,
who failed to lead us well during COVID.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We took over a dumpster fire. First thing we had
to do was put the fire out. I understand that
people feel like they haven't seen the results of the
work we've done yet.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
That's what I'm here to do. We've put the fire out,
We're put America back on its feet, and we are
working towards getting things infinitely better. So there are a
lot of things that I think we both could have
done better. I think we did a much better job
than Trump, and I know we're going to do a
much better job in the next four years. Look, that's
me off the answering that question, and that's a great
(28:03):
non answer. That's a great non answer answer. But that's
all she had to do, right, is say something like
we've done great things, We're gonna do more great things.
You don't say I can't think of anything, because that
makes you seem like an empty vessel.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Not only that, it actually makes you endorse every decision
that has been made. As opposed to saying again, I
would pivot and attack Trump in that answer.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
He's so bad. We took over a dumpster fire.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
The first thing you have to do is put out
the fire, and it takes a while for the results
of the work we're doing. I'm a younger version of
Joe Biden. I'm gonna do a better job connecting with
the American public going forward. But I think we put
the country on great footing. Any answer like that, it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Vanishes, nobody pays attention to it. Look, I'll say this
and people will get mad at me, But that's okay
because you all know that it's true. Whatever you may
think of Sarah Palin. The answer with Katie Kuric was
a similar It was when someone asks you what do
you read? You say something, you say something you don't.
I don't say things like I read things basically or
(29:03):
you know, or what do you mean by that? Right now,
you could say that's unfair, No one is. You know,
I've a crash Katie Kurk more than probably anybody else
on the right these days. I mean, I still think
that the fact that she got as far as she
did in her career, she's just a ruthless mediocrity. But
I'm just saying that was a bad answer from Sarah Pillin.
So you can't do that. You can't have the non
answer to the question. That's an obvious question you should
(29:25):
be ready for because even passers by in politics pick
up on that and go, oh, that wasn't good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
And your job is to do two things as president,
make decisions and communicate. That's really it. Now, there are
complexities associated with it. If you can't answer basic questions.
Your job is a communicator. Let's leave aside the fact
that I think Kamalo would have been an awful decision
maker too, But if you can't even communicate answers to
(29:53):
basic questions, then you're in real trouble. Trump is an
elite communicator. I think he's making really good decisions too.
But those are the two jobs of the president, and
if you can't do both at a high level, you're
going to fail. And Biden was awful at everything. He
would have done better going full Costanza buck and just
taking the opposite of every choice he made.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
The country would have been better off. I want to
talk to you about the preborn network of clinics for
a moment. Preborn is saving lives day in and day out.
Here's what they're doing. They're standing athwart the wave of
abortions that are happening every day in this country and saying,
hold on, let's save as many lives as possible. By
giving love and support and consideration to all of these
(30:37):
women going into preborn clinics who have a crisis with
their pregnancy. They don't know what to do, they feel alone.
Preborn is there to help them, give them assistance and
offer a free ultrasound, to introduce that mother to her baby.
And once that happened, that moment so often changes everything
and the choice for life is made. Over three hundred
and fifty thousand babies have been saved by Preborn life
(31:00):
giving work, and for so many mothers, this means they
have a little boy or a little girl in this
world today and their families are growing in love because
Preborn was there for them. And you supported Preborn for
just twenty eight dollars a month, you can help Preborn
save a life right now. Twenty eight dollars that's the
price of an ultrasound that you'd be donating to a
mother and crisis with a little baby in the womb
(31:22):
dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's
pound two five zero say the keyword baby, or go
to preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn dot com
slash b u c K.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Patriots Radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Okay, this
is something that is significant that I think actually ties
in quite a bit with the uh Jimmy Kimmel's story. So,
Jimmy Kimmel is going to be back on air much
of the nation, but not if you have a next
Star or a Sinclair affiliate carrying your ABC station. I
(32:10):
have a Next Star affiliate here in Nashville, So I
will not get Jimmy Kimmel's show tonight.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Some of you will, some of you will not. It
will return.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I'm sure we'll be talking about what he will say there.
But there has been a massive outpouring of attention on
Jimmy Kimmel not having his show. He was preempted, suspended,
whatever phrase you want to use from the Wednesday Thursday
Friday Monday editions of his program, and he is now
(32:41):
going to be back on air on Tuesday, So he
missed four shows. You would think that it was the largest,
most significant attack on free speech that we have ever
seen based on the response from the left. So Jimmy
misses four shows. Similarly, if you care about free speech,
that is almost going to get no attention whatsoever. But
(33:02):
I think is one of the most significant of the
twenty first century, and that is YouTube has admitted that
it censored conservative speakers on their platform at the behest
of the Biden administration. We're going to talk to Jim
Jordan about this tomorrow, but Buck, let me just give
you a sense for how this went down as someone
(33:25):
who ran a media company and needed to be making
money on YouTube, as many media companies do. Every time
I mentioned the COVID shot and said, hey, I don't
think you should get the COVID shot. I don't think
you need it if you're young and healthy, all these
(33:46):
things which have been proven to be true. You mentioned
masking every time I said things like wearing a mask
when you walk into a restaurant and then taking it
off when you sit down to the table is nonsensical,
we would get strikes, and when we got strikes, they
would prevent us from monetizing our content. And at one
(34:09):
point in time, because Tommy larn is also one of
our employees at OutKick, at one point in time they
suspended us, I believe it was for a month from
being able to make any money at all. And they
now are saying, hey, we shouldn't have done that, and
we'll talk about it with Jim Jordan. But this is
(34:31):
actual free speech being attacked. And unlike Jimmy Kimmel, who
would have the opportunity to miss four days and come
back and he's making millions of dollars, many people out there,
including you Buck, were curtailed significantly, including me, including the
company that I ran, OutKick, because we were willing to
(34:52):
say the truth about the COVID shot and about wearing
masks and about all of this such that this is
what they did. This is crazy, But I'm just I'm
taking you behind the curtain. I sold the company in
twenty twenty one. They stopped allowing my show to air
live and they would edit out any reference that I
(35:13):
happened to make to COVID shots, to masking, to schools
being closed, all those things, and then post it so
they could monetize the other aspects of the show. Think
about how crazy that is. That is what and again
this was the company to try to make money to
pay people salaries. YouTube is a huge driver of revenue
(35:37):
for virtually every media company in the country. Now, they
would not air my show live because we were getting
so many strikes that were disallowing us from being able
to monetize this damages It might be in the billions
of dollars that quote unquote conservative, I would just say
(35:58):
common sense YouTubers we're dealing with for simply questioning whether
we needed to be mandating shots, whether they made sense.
They essentially took the Biden administration and did what the
Biden administration would not be able to do, which is
sensor political speech.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
They would do it again. Yes, part of this that
we all know that's very frustrating. They're just backing off
right now because they don't want the eye of Trump
to focus in on them too closely in this moment
while our team, so to speak, is in power. That's so,
you know, it's hard to feel good about this other
than we were right, and you know, I had. I
(36:40):
had a you know, small YouTube channel that got shut down,
and it was the kind of thing where you get
a strike or two and then you don't want to
deal with it anymore and so you just stop. You know.
It was I was doing a radio show at the
time that I was trying to also just put stuff
out Clay on YouTube separately, and I just realized, this
is nonsense. I mean, I had a whole PolitiFact story
on me about asks and other things, you know, just
(37:02):
trying to trash me. And Facebook, by the way, the
same thing shut down on Facebook. Anyway, I'm not this
isn't what it was me. And they did it into
a lot of people in our space. In fact that
they didn't do it to you when you were a conservative,
I would wonder like where were you during COVID and
how are you in any way useful? But these these companies,
they're admitting it now, Like I said, because of where
(37:25):
the wind is blowing, they would we should not have
any illusions. They would do this again in a heartbeat,
and there's it's not a fair game. It's a rigged
game on YouTube. It's a rigged game on Facebook and
has been for years and rigged against people who are
right of center. So that is very frustrating because these platforms,
because they were just honest about it, and they got
(37:47):
really big. I mean, this is something that else that
I think everyone needs to understand. YouTube and Facebook in
the early days, they were Okay, we're going to allow
different perspectives, and it was essentially like a free speech
within the law, which is what it should always be.
People say, oh, but you know, you shouldn't be able
to just have copyrighted material, or oh, you shouldn't be
able to have you know, uh material that's illegal. Of course,
(38:10):
no one's saying that. This is about I don't like
the content. I'm going to and I'm going to block
the audience from seeing it and artificially shut it down,
which is what they did, and they did it for
purely partisan purposes. They should be ashamed. They're not ashamed.
I'll point this out to you. They don't care. They're
just doing what's smart for them right now. But for
(38:31):
a lot of us, man, this is uh, this is
a reminder of what we're up against and the kind
of stuff that they were pulling, and everything we said
that they were doing was true.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
This show YouTube refuse to allow us to post our
Rand Paul interview because of his city USA senator and
an MD, a medical doctor and a senator would not
let us put it on the internet running for re election,
when in theory, whatever you think about Ran Paul, you
should would want every single aspect of his political views
(39:03):
to be as widely distributed as possible. They took down
our interview with President Trump from Bedminster YouTube.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Now I want all of you to go subscribe to
YouTube Clay and Buck right now. But I guarantee you
we are still minimized in distribution and algorithmic h success
because of the problem. The ghosts and the machine linger
for a long time afterwards. Once once you're in YouTube jail,
you can basically never get out. That's the issue. Once
(39:33):
they decide that you're you're on the naughty list, you
don't get because it's all about the algorithmic showing of
shows to people so you can get more subscribers and
so that your own audience can see it. When they
decide that they're going to limit your reach, you're done.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
They put you. They put you in jail.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Here, by the way, is what the House Judiciary Committee
and Jim Jordan put out just specifically so you know
the Biden administry. Google it the following to the House
Judiciary Committee. One, the Biden administration pressured Google to censor
Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube's policies.
(40:11):
Two the Biden administration censorship pressure was quote unacceptable and wrong.
Three public debate should never come at the expense of
relying authorities. Four the company will never use third party
fact checkers and europe Sensor. Five europe censorship laws targeting
(40:34):
American companies and threatening American speech, including the removal of
lawful content. And again we'll talk with Jim Jordan about
this tomorrow. But this is crazy. We talked about it
on this program. Some of you will remember it. But
sitting United States Senator Ran Paul interviewed on this program
(40:55):
not allowed to be posted on YouTube President Trump. When
we set down with him at Bedminster and interviewed him,
they would not allow us to post that entire interview.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Can I just the Rand Paul issue as well had
to do with with COVID and FAUCI. Rand Paul is
a practicing medical doctor. Yes, he is an actual MD
and a US senator, and they didn't let us post
the interview on YouTube because it went against their communist guidelines.
I mean, they're the absurdity, right, I mean, they went
full Beijing on us with this stuff and just decided
(41:28):
what could and couldn't be said. And you know it
really YouTube showed us who they are. I mean, I
don't know, you know, look, I know I said that.
I said, well, subscribe to our YouTube channel. We'll use
all the tools at our disposal to get the message
out as far as we can, as fast as we
can while we have them. So I make no apologies
for that, to be clear. So, yeah, we want to
(41:49):
build up a YouTube presence now while we can as
long as we can, because we believe in what we
say and we think people need to hear it. But
is there trust? Is there trust that has been built
with these entities that can only be done over time,
That can only happen if they allow us to build
up the audience that we know we can have. But
we have millions of radio listeners, Clay, we're gonna you know,
(42:10):
we've been shadow banded on YouTube for a long time.
Now they're telling us it's gone. Well, now let's see
if it's gone.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I would also point out you will probably not hear
a word from anybody who has been screaming about Jimmy
Kimmel's free speech actually discussing Google admitting that YouTube, which
Google owns YouTube, that the Biden administration pressured Google slash
(42:37):
YouTube to restrict a lot of videos out there and
cost conservative media companies hundreds of millions of.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Dollars and maybe billions.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
And my concern is what you just laid out, Buck, Yeah,
they're doing this when Trump is in office. Now, is
that going to change whenever we have a Democrat back
in the White House. Probably? And this is where this matters.
The Supreme Court with on this one. The Supreme Court
had this case and it was I think one of
the most important First Amendment cases that they have had
(43:09):
in my life. The Biden administration on Facebook, on YouTube,
all over the internet, these social media companies, they restricted
speech by a third party. If you can deputize something
that the government cannot do, the government can't restrict your
(43:29):
own mind speech. If the government does it through a
third party, then they're just deputizing someone else to do
what they could not do. That's exactly what happened during COVID.
I mean, they're one of an opportunity. Yeah, one of
the worst Supreme Court decisions. I think we have six'
three one of the Worst Supreme court decisions we have
seen in a long. Time and IF i went back
(43:49):
and read through the, Decision, clay you, KNOW i scanned
through it. QUICKLY i don't have enough time to read
the whole thing, again BUT i went through just to
remind myself of.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
It and it was a lot of but can you
really prove That biden pushed, them and can you really
prove there was a? Harm and can you really tell
me they won't do this again or they will do this?
Again it's, like, well nothing is, certain, Guys BUT i
think it's pretty clear what happened. Here, yeah they did these.
THINGS i, Mean jensaki threatened the companies from The White
house press briefing and all of the emails illustrate what
(44:20):
they were. Doing the fact that this was not an,
opportunity that The Supreme court didn't take this opportunity to say,
stridently this is unacceptable and we're not going to stand for.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
IT i think it's a failure of this Current Supreme.
COURT i think it's the.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Beginning Of Amy, Cony barrett And. Roberts let you, Down.
Clay that's not the first or the last, time, unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Sadly and this goes TO i don't think they understand
The internet that. Well AND i don't mean that as
a huge. Insult most seventy something year old people and
most sixty something year old people don't really understand how
the internet. WORKS i THINK i understand pretty well how
The internet. WORKS i don't Understand admiralty lall very. Well
(45:04):
it's hard to be an expert on everything they whipped here, Though,
yeah well they it's it is the public square now
because it is so much faster and more powerful than
printing out a pamphlet and handing it out to people
in the town. Square online is the town square. Now
if you don't have free speech, online you don't have
it meaningfully. Anywhere and that's the. Problem that's WHAT i
(45:26):
think they don't really, grasp you, know they still think, like,
Well Thomas pain and his. Pamphlets it's Like Thomas.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Pain would be all over the internet if you were around,
today all, right it would be a very different. World
he'd be operating. In look at stake night over the.

(47:40):
this morning saying the trumpy, things very very good stuff
from our commander in. Chief we shall get into some
of that here, momentarily BUT i would ask for a moment.
HERE i just wanted to throw this in the mix
before too much time has passed play and put out
(48:01):
maybe a call for any of Our New jersey listeners
to email us or you, know VIPs email us or
send in some talkbacks In New jersey and we'll get
some of them later on about, this because there are
guba of toil races that are. Underway some of them
are going to be hotly contested in important, states places Like.
Virginia we had win some sears on she's lieutenant. Governor
(48:24):
very impressive. Woman but In New. Jersey Remember New jersey
was a much closer. Election what was, It, Clay it
was not, this but it was it was in the
off year that that That glenn was up in.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Point or two in twenty twenty. One and Remember trump's
only Lost New jersey by five last, year and they
think The trump team does if they had Had commawa
level money that they could have Flip New jersey into their.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Column So New jersey is still, blue but it's it's
more interesting than they wanted to, be for, sure and
this might help a bit. More this is just one
of the great moments On charlemagne The god on The Breakfast.
Club mister The god was sitting down With democrat Candidate
(49:15):
New Jersey Governor Mikey. Cheryl so The, democrat, Sorry democrat
candidate for, Governor Mikey, cheryl And i'm not. Familiar that's
Why i'm asking people to weigh in a little bit
on what DO i need to know About Mikey. Cheryl
but this was a great, moment and mister The god
asked about, this AND i think it was worth us
(49:36):
all just hearing for a, second because people are very
sick and tired of members Of, congress particularly who seemingly
are trading in a way in the stock market that
mirrors information that they would only have access to because
of things that they're doing In congress and making a
(49:57):
lot of. Money she was Asked Mikey aryl about, this
and here is the response from the Breakfast. CLUB a
couple of days, ago play this one When newsmax claimed
that you made seven million dollars from stock? Trades what
are they talking?
Speaker 6 (50:10):
About News max, is first of, all a very questionable
organization that is paying multiple. Fines i'm not sure what
they're talking.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
About, well did you make seven million in stock trades at?
Speaker 6 (50:21):
ALL I i. HAVEN'T i don't BELIEVE i. Did But
i'd have to go see what that was alluding to,
again what kind of came from uh?
Speaker 2 (50:34):
CLAY i think if you're a member Of congress making
about one hundred and eighty. Grand by the, WAY i
think that if you made seven million dollars trading the stock,
market whether somebody else is making those trades on your
behalf or you're making, THEM i think you should.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Know unless you're a billionaire and so rich that you
could plausibly SAY i don't know what happened with seven million.
Dollars ninety nine point nine to nine percent of people
In america would know if they made seven million dollars
or not in the stock. MARKET a lot of you
(51:12):
out there would know if you made seven hundred dollars
in the stock market or. Not certainly seven thousand or seventy,
thousand to say nothing of seven.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Million these people are so bad at this. BUCK i
JUST i watch.
Speaker 1 (51:27):
So many of these, politicians and we've reached, out by the,
way To Jack, ciarelli who is The republican contender who
almost won in twenty twenty. One he is the nominee
on The republican side for this. Race to remind all of,
You virginia And New jersey and the mayor Of New
York city are all off calendar, elections so they will
(51:49):
be taking place This. November that's in basically six. Weeks
some of you basically can already go early vote on
THESE i JUST i mean credit To, charlottage the god
who is of the, LEFT i, think but is kind
of pointing, out, ay seven million. Dollars can you follow
up and just kind of tell us about.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
Come, here all, Right i've got Some i've got some
some stats and numbers to throw into the. Mix. Here
cheryl MAKES i said one hundred and eight one hundred
and seventy four grand As New jersey's eleventh congressional district.
Rep so she, remember they have financial disclosures, everybody so
we can know this. Public it's public record how much
(52:30):
money these individuals have within a, range but you have
some sense of, it, Right so in twenty, nineteen she
reported total assets between seven hundred and thirty And i'm
just gonna abbreviate the numbers, here but seven hundred and
thirty thousand and four point three million. Dollars now that's
a huge. Range by the, way, yes does that includes your?
House you, know to anybody, listening the difference in being
(52:50):
worth seven hundred grand on paper and being worth four
million on paper feels like a. Lot but, anyway that's
where she. Was But clay in her most recent, one
in her most recent disclosure, form she's worth more like twelve. Million,
yeah this and so point and so you say to,
(53:11):
yourself wait a, second she's making one hundred and seventy
Four it's not like she had some huge trust, fund
because we would know that from the financial disclosure forms.
Previously so somehow she has And Jack chidarelli has come
out and hammered her on. This somehow while a member
Of congress sitting on The Arms Services, committee who allegedly
(53:33):
has a fondness for Trading clay and defense, stocks, saying,
interesting she has gone from being worth you, know let's
call it a couple million dollars to put it in
the middle to being worth about twelve million. DOLLARS i,
mean she could be worth as much as four million
there even, still that would be a tripling of her
net worth while making one hundred and eighty grand a. Year,
(53:55):
now sometimes spouses make the, money which can all also
sometimes be, suspect right because they'll, say, well this is
not the money That i'm, making this is my. SPOUSE
i think this is what happened With AND i don't
even know who her spouse is. Now But Elon, holman
now he's we'll get he's an investment, banker so his
compensation may be a significant part of. This But, clay
(54:19):
she was fined for failing to disclose stock sales in
twenty twenty. One, well this is where it gets very.
Speaker 1 (54:27):
Shady, okay correct me If i'm wrong on, this because
this seems like something that shouldn't be. Allowed you basically
cannot prosecute elected officials like congressmen and senators for insider, trading,
correct because they get all sorts of information that is
not public and then they're allowed to trade on. It
(54:47):
and this is where it gets super. Shady this is
like The Nancy pelosi. Situation the spouse oftentimes is the
person who's actually trading on, this and they are able
to monitor this in a way that is hyper. Shady,
remember if you look At Nancy pelosi's trading record for,
stocks she's somehow better Than Warren buffett at buying and selling.
(55:11):
Stocks there's A nancy tracker out there where you can
look at all the Moves pelosi. Makes because they have
to disclose, IT i don't understand why it isn't basic
required for everybody out there to put their holdings.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
In a trust and just use.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
That let me give you an, Example, Buck most of
my money AFTER i sold Out kick that is not
in real estate is IN smp five hundred index. Funds that,
IS i just buy the five hundred largest companies In.
America ninety percent of the, time the s AND p
five hundred outperforms. EXPERTS i am not buying large buying
(55:54):
and selling very many. Stocks now there's no restriction on
me buying and selling very many stock in the first.
Place BUT i would say about five percent of my
stock assets are in physical stocks THAT i, control and
about ninety five percent is effectively AN s AND p
five hundred index. FUNDS i don't understand why it isn't
(56:14):
standard for, Everybody, Democrat, Republican, independent who was elected To
congress to put their, assets their four oh ONE, k
their individual, stocks just put it into a index fund
and Say i'm not going to buy and sell individual
stocks While i'm a representative of The United States. Congress
what AM i missing here to? Me that seems like
(56:35):
it should be standard for everyone out. There and if
they're arguing, OTHERWISE i think it's highly suspect for people
to be trading hundreds of times in a. Year and
remember what happened DURING, covid BECAUSE i haven't forgotten. This
remember when they got the briefings about how DANGEROUS covid
(56:55):
was going to be and what was going to, happen
and a ton of congressmen and women immediately sold all
their stocks before the stock market started to. Decline they
got access to information that you AND i didn't have
access to about what was going to happen in terms of.
Shutdowns the stock market, plummeted and a lot of congressmen
(57:15):
and women sold before the stock market collapsed and then
bought at bottoms and made a ton of money off
information that's not. PUBLIC i don't know What i'm missing.
Here this, CANDIDATE i think is. LYING i think she
has likely benefited off inside. Information but this is. Important
when it comes to. Corruption we don't just focus on corruption.
(57:39):
Itself we focus on the appearance of corruption because it's
so toxic to public. Trust how is there not a
direct appearance of corruption when individual congressmen and women are
making trades and destroying the greatest investors of our lifetimes
in their. Results just just so everybody once in something
(58:00):
like The National Defense Authorization act or one of those
big omnibus or you, Know perculus or whatever you want
to call, it these big bills that come out where
they're just full of, pork and they're full of all this.
Spending if you're on some committee and you know that
a certain defense contractor for, example is about to get,
(58:21):
correct a three or five or ten billion dollar government,
contract guess, What it's probably gonna.
Speaker 2 (58:28):
Go up as a. Stock, OKAY i think we all understand.
That and so if you are essentially now you know the.
Rules they've changed the rules so that technically there's like
a little more reporting and, Stuff but you're not barred from,
trading and let's just let's just, think let's just be
honest about. This have you seen anybody get in trouble
for insider trading from The United States. Congress, No i'm
(58:49):
not aware of it right. NOW i think buck that they're.
Not you're not allowed to be prosecuted for. IT i
think the case they changed the. Rule let me let
me check on. It they made some The Stock, act
they made some adjustment to. It BUT i think it's
like you can't be prosecuted for knowledge that comes from
the course of your, job which is the whole point of.
That let me check on this. ONE i got to
(59:09):
see what the rules are because this was. Clay this
has been a push for over a. Decade people have
been trying to you, know trying to figure out why
members Of congress are able to get so.
Speaker 1 (59:22):
Rich but larger, issue yes on. That to, me it's
just it shouldn't be. Allowed minor issue or secondary issue
as it pertains to this. Race if you made seven
million dollars in stock, trades you better have a good
explanation for how that. Happened and again the husband may
(59:45):
well be the. Reason but to, claim OH i don't.
Know i'd have to look into. That how out of
touch are you if you can make seven million dollars
and not recall whether or not it, happened unless you're
a billionaire and your stock price valuation is constantly going
up and. Down, again All i'm saying, Is i'm not
a congress. PERSON snb five hundred index funds a good.
(01:00:07):
Option why would we not make that standard for anybody
who's in the elective. Office, now there are some, complexities
usually blind, trust and this is getting into. Specifics let's
say you own a company and that company is publicly.
Traded you can just, say, Hey i'm not going to
buy or sell, stock or it's a blind, Trust i'm
not managing. It there are lots of ways to handle
(01:00:27):
this that do not create this, huge this huge impression
of impropriety that to me would make a lot of.
Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Sense, WELL i just would, Know. Clay, so two former
members of The house Of representatives have been prosecuted and
convicted for insider, trading which The Stock act of twenty,
twelve that's WHAT i Referred so this has been going
on for a. While so there is This Stock, act
it doesn't bar them from trading obviously there's disclosure. Requirements
but here's the. Thing it's super hard because of the
(01:00:59):
information that they're coming into contact with is of a political.
Nature it can be very like if you're going to
invest in a big defense contractor what's how do you
know that you don't just you, know they get into
this mosaic defense strategy for white collar criminals have, like,
well DID i do it BECAUSE i thought of this
bill that's coming, up or BECAUSE i love the fundamentals
AND i KNOW i read the? Letters TEN. K i,
(01:01:20):
mean that's, well also curious on, WHATEVER i would be
curious what the prosecution for insider trading is because those
guys could have been prosecuted for actual insider trading that
had nothing to do With. Congress.
Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Right in other, WORDS i believe the testimony that you
hear behind closed doors is not allowed to be prosecutable
for insider. Trading you could still be prosecuted, if for,
instance you're out of office and your cousin calls you
and he sits on the board OF x company and he, says,
hey we're about.
Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
To that's what. Happened. Yeah by the, way they actually
were not. Prosecuted this is very important. Clarification they were
not prosecuted for anything under The Stock act or anything
having to do With. Congress they were prosecuted for insider
trading access they had before being In. Congress, yes that's
a different. Thing this is What i'm, Saying, like you
basically get a free reign to insider trade At. Congress
(01:02:16):
so my initial premise of, like no one In congress
has ever that no one In congress has ever been
prosecuted for Insider congress insider congressional. Information that is.
Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
True which, anyway some breaking news as we go to
commercial break, Here, buck there has been a verdict reached
in the second assassin attempt Of President trump In, florida
The West Palm beach, assassin AND i would imagine that
he has been found, guilty but we will see what
that result.
Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Is they're going to announce that. Shortly we'll bring you
that breaking news here in just a. Moment no matter
how safe you think your home and neighborhood, are you've
got to be. Prepared there's always the chance of being
a victim of a. Crime it happens twice a minute
nationwide home. Invasions you want to have the right protection
to defend yourself and your family until the cops get
there if they need to get. There And saber is
the best for non lethal self protection. Tools saber is Spelled.

a lot of you who have firearms in your, home
this is a force escalation contingency where you can use
non lethal, first all, Right so that would be my
choice because it's just a lot easier that way if you.
Can but that's something THAT i think you should really.
Consider and some people just prefer only non lethal. Options
