Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a dynamic mix of political analysis, media critique, and cultural commentary. The hour opens with President Trump’s live Oval Office meeting alongside the President of the Philippines, Bongbong Marcos, where Trump addresses military cooperation, missile defense, and the Russia collusion hoax, which he calls the “biggest scandal in history.” Trump also accuses former President Obama of treason and reiterates claims that the 2020 election was stolen, asserting he won in a “landslide.”
The hosts then pivot to Hunter Biden’s media presence, speculating on his potential political ambitions following a widely discussed interview. They debate whether Hunter sees himself as a political savior for the Biden family, drawing parallels to past political comebacks.
A major segment focuses on the collapse of late-night television, with sharp criticism of Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon. The hosts highlight Colbert’s show reportedly losing $40 million annually, contrasting it with Greg Gutfeld’s success on Fox News. They argue that ideological bias, not profitability, drives decisions in mainstream media, likening late-night TV to the WNBA as a subsidized, failing enterprise.
The conversation also revisits the Breonna Taylor case, criticizing the DOJ’s sentencing of a police officer to nearly three years in prison despite his acquittal on state charges. The hosts frame this as a politically motivated response to BLM-era pressure.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis en Buck
(00:03):
Sexton Show kicks off right now. Appreciate you being with us.
A lot to dive into. Right now, as we're talking
to you, President Trump is speaking to the nation. He
is in the Oval Office, He's doing a sit down
with the President of the Philippines, and they're covering a
whole range of topics, and that is in real time
(00:24):
as I'm speaking to you. Trump right now laying into
the Russia hopes as the biggest scandal in history. And
we'll bring you some of the key soundbites from this meeting.
Also discussion from the president from our president. Right there's
the Philippine president, there's President Trump sitting side by side,
but of more cooperation, military cooperation with the Philippines, and
(00:49):
Trump saying we're gonna have more missiles than we've ever
had before. Slow missiles, fast missiles, big missiles, small missiles.
So we've got that to dive into, and we'll bring
you some of it. Hunter Biden, the interview he did
is actually getting a lot of attention. And now Clay
is not the only person that I have heard who
thinks that he might see a role for himself in politics. Still,
(01:13):
I just want to say, I still think this is crazy,
but there's a little voice in my head that says,
oh my gosh, there's a small chance that Clay actually
may be on to something with this one, and I
will be the crazy one for having missed it. But
we shall see.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I want him to run, let me be clear, and
I don't think he has any chance to be the nominee.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
But I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The only thing that adds up here to me is
Hunter thinks he is the savior of his family and
that there is actually a demand for him in a
way that every other Democrat basically is like, no, no, no, no,
we just want to pretend to Biden era never happened.
I think Hunter thinks he should run. I think that's
what Hunter has got in his head.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That would be It would be the craziest thing in
American politics in terms of somebody wanting to or deciding
to run again. And since Anthony Wiener, post conviction, oh yeah,
post criminal sex crime, decided that he was going to
run for the mayor of New York City and then
that faded out rather quickly, so the Hunter Biden thing,
(02:17):
it is interesting to see Hunter describing the differences between
crack cocaine and other forms. He is like a chemist.
He actually has some real domain knowledge, not about say,
international energy agreements, where he was being paid by Barisma
as a consultant. But you know, if the cartels were
(02:38):
paying this guy, I would have understood that because he
knows a lot about drugs. It's pretty impressive when he
breaks it down. We'll bring you some of those of
those clips. The whole Hunter thing, though, is I am surprised.
I thought the bidens were I thought the bidens were done.
But you know one thing, Clay, that I think we
now all have to be ready for an American politics
is that for people, for people who have been in
(02:59):
the game or near the big game in some capacity,
they'll never accept that they're done. Look at Joe Biden.
For people who have just even gotten a taste of
what it is to be truly in power, they think
that there's always a lane, always a role for them.
And I think that Hunter Biden, yes he's a recovering
(03:21):
addict and all that, he's just an example an example
of that. We've also got just a few other odds
and ends to throw in here, before we get into
some of the Trump stuff, Clay, Speaker Mike Johnson is
gonna shut down the House until September. They're not gonna
have a vote on releasing the Epstein files d o J.
I believe that the number two at DOJ, or somebody
(03:42):
close to the number two is going to possibly have
a conversation with Gelen Maxwell, the co conspirator, along with
Jeffrey Epstein, who is still alive in custody, So that
story is getting some attention. And then Trump on the
late night TV removal of Stephen Colbert, Trump wrote this, Clay,
(04:08):
the word is and it's a strong word at that.
Jimmy Kimmel is next to go in the untalented Late
night sweepstakes, and shortly thereafter Fallon will be gone. These
are people with no talent, paid millions of dollars for
destroying what used to be great television. Really good to
see them go. I hope I played a major part
in it. Trump not just defeating them, but salting the
(04:28):
earth under their feet.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Clay, I still can't believe that they've decided to make
a martyr out of Stephen Colbert, who's making somewhere between
fifteen or twenty million dollars a year, whose show is
losing forty million dollars a year and somehow that he
is a martyr because he was fired. I mean, look,
if this show was losing any money at all, I
(04:52):
would expect that we would get fired. I just would
any show that I have ever done in the history
of my life. We'd be we'd we'd be, We'd be
go let go. I have never been on any show
to my knowledge that has has lost money.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Rative I've been at media companies that were losing money
and everybody starts getting fired.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So that's not what I have. That's what I have been.
I have been fired.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That's one reason I started out kick and yes, Buck
might prefer the euphemism left go but let go. But
let go implies that you had an option to continue
to hold on.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I didn't have an option to continue.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I've pulled the the Indiana Jones running in front of
the boulder a few times and just grabbed the hat.
But it was like if I didn't leave, the doors
were closing and they were padlocking them. So I've had
that a few times.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So look, I just anyone who works in media at
some point in time, if your product doesn't make money,
they find somebody who they think can make money. I
can't even imagine having the arrogance to be doing show
that is losing forty million dollars a year, forty million
(06:05):
dollars a year, and then to be arguing, oh, the
only reason I'm being fired is because I've been too
critical of President Trump. No, you're being fired because that
forty million dollars that the company is losing on your
show could be allocated to hire a lot more people
(06:25):
who could do a lot more profitable work.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'm just I've always been I'm not a big late
night guy in general. And the more you learn about
how important sleep is now I'm being really boring. The
more you realize going to bed earlier is doing yourself
a huge favor whenever you can, whenever you can. Just saying,
but Jay Leno, whom I always like more than Letterman,
although I was a casual watcher at best, I mean
(06:49):
I saw it, but I was like, I would watch
it kind of by accident if I was up at night.
I can't say, but I really never would anyway. Leno
producer Ali pulled this Yesterdy because I thought this is true,
Leno took a substantial pay cut. Yeah, to keep staff,
to keep his team around. Nothing like that, trust me.
If Colbert's agent had something like that to throw out
there at this point, now is when these stories would
(07:11):
all come out. Colbert making fifteen million a year, let's
call a fifteen million clay while the while the show
is losing forty he would know the show's losing forty
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It's obscene, obscene greed. And to let people behind the curtains.
I don't know how many people publicly talked about this.
I took a pay cut. You took a pay cut
during COVID so that we could we have contracts, so
that we could avoid having to let go people who
worked on I did a sports talk show at the time,
you did a political show. We took substantially less. And
(07:45):
by the way, so did a lot of our bosses.
So did a lot of people out there. When times
got tough during COVID and you didn't know what in
the world was going to happen, the first thing people do.
So I think people understand this in some ways, but
when people start to feel like a recession is coming,
one of the first things that companies do is spend
less money on advertising, and so it hits what we
(08:07):
do faster than a lot of other places. So when
COVID happened, which was this cataclysm where suddenly everybody's like, hey,
we're gonna show there's only essential, non essential businesses everything else,
we took huge pay cuts to maintain in some way
the show's ability to continue to employ staff. And so
(08:28):
you don't get to losing forty million dollars, It doesn't
happen rapidly. You have to work your way up to
losing forty million dollars. So I would think that pathway
towards losing that amount of money is been rapid and.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Has been gradual. Right.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
In other words, there's lots of time where you could
have reversed the direction that the ship was headed, so
to speak. Also, why didn't nobody say, hey, we're spending
one hundred million dollars on this show and we're losing.
I bet they spend this is just my guess. I
bet they spend twenty million total if that on Gutfeld.
(09:06):
So Gutfeld, which is also in a New York City studio,
which also has a live audience. Some of you watch
that on Fox News. I don't know why they didn't
just say, hey, why don't we just rent a much
smaller studio space, have a much smaller live audience, dial
back the overall expenditures in a way that would allow
this program to at least break even. I bet that
(09:29):
they fought back against that idea because it would be
seen as a as a lack of endorsement of the show.
But I think that this is likely true. I think
all late night shows are going to be gone. I
think Trump is going to ultimately triumph in a way
that is pretty unbelievable over his harshest critics everywhere at MSNBC, CNN,
late night television. I think They're all going to lose
(09:51):
their jobs and Trump's going to be more powerful than ever.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah. Well, CNN has been destroyed by Trump. The brand
will never recover. The late night hosts I think have
been are in process of all being defenestrated from their
privileged purchase. Look at you, mister, Yeah, I'm impressed he
does what he does. And I think that Trump has
(10:16):
done a tremendous service for the American people just by
exposing how many of these media outlets, how many of
these so called news organizations or even so called comedians
or comedic enterprises are really just a smug propaganda and
there's no reason for these things. They're not being supported
by the marketplace. They're really you know, let's just say it,
(10:39):
Clay late Night TV sort of turned into the w
NBA of the television world, subsidized ye, yeah, subsidized by
other actually profitable ventures within the company. And for what why? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I think that the analogy. I made that analogy yesterday
I on want of our OutKick shows. The WNBA lost
forty million dollars last year. It's the same amount as
Stephen Colbert and the protest. The players came out and
pay us what you owe as T shirts. Well, if
you got actually paid what you were owed, as we
discussed yesterday, you would actual given a PixL of teams. Yeah,
(11:16):
you'd be you sent home money, yeah you You would
actually no longer have a job if you were paid
what you were owed, because you were owed nothing if
you work for the WNBA. But nonetheless, it is effectively
like a charity. It's a it's a it's a DEI.
Women's sports charity is what the w NBA as a
pure business venture operates as Now, maybe that's changing now, uh,
(11:39):
you know, because of some of the visibility that it gets.
But on the late night TV host these late night comedians,
this is a major cultural shift. And it also proves
once again that what the right has been saying for
over twenty years, which is they these are there's left
wing dominance in these media outlets. It's not about the
profit motive. You know, they used to get away with saying, well,
(11:59):
this is what the audience wants. It's not about the
profit mode of a lot of these places. Whether it's
Hollywood studios you're talking about depends on the movie, or
you're talking certainly about the news organizations. They are ideologically
driven first on many of these decisions in many of
these ways. And you see that with late night comedy.
And I remember what a successful weapon the Daily Show
(12:23):
was against the Bush administration. And I did watch the
Daily Show pretty frequently when I was in college, and
the Daily Show gave people who didn't want to really
engage with the facts the ability to think that everybody
who disagreed with them was an idiot. Well that may
feel like fun at the time, but it's actually not
good for discourse.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So I think that this is all to the good,
and we'll talk more about about some of this and
also what Trump has had to say here about the
referral and Russia collusion. Clay, I have found an answer,
and it's one of the things that I offered up
here as what would they what would they actually charge
them with? We can address that.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh good, So I went deep diving into the into
the criminal files.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yes, but it's what I said, which is we're going
it is not this is the law as the law
so much as it is due unto others as they
have done unto you. And that is the approach that
I think could could That's the only way they could
find a charge here. I'll explain more later. You know,
no organization out there looks after the lives of unborn
babies the way that Preborn does. Their commitment to working
(13:30):
with pregnant mothers who are contemplating an abortion is steadfast,
day in and day out. They want to give that
mom the better choice, the better option of life for
that baby. Preborn made it possible for more than sixty
five thousand unborn children to realize life last year alone.
The team of people working there at Preborn Clinics provide
(13:51):
pregnant moms with assistants, and it all starts off with
the gift of a free ultrasound, because that ultrasound, which
the mom doesn't pay a dollar for, lets her meet
her unborn child, use science to create that divine connection
between mother and child. She hears the heartbeat, seize the
movements of the child within her, and so often that
is the turning point, and that is when a life
(14:13):
is saved. Preborn operates clinics in our nation where abortion
rates are highest, specifically to save as many lives as possible.
They need you, the pro life community. They need your help.
They get no government money whatsoever. To donate securely. Dial

App or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We should
also update you on the ongoing rolling press conference that
is Trump two point zero, President Trump in the Oval Office,
and he's going pretty hard in the paint here. Let
me go ahead and play this audio. We'll react to
it a bit, and we'll let Buck dive into his
(15:14):
what criminal charges could potentially be coming here is let's
start with this one. Cut twenty six. Trump says Obama
committed treason over Russiagate. He's guilty. It's not a question
at all. This is cut twenty six. Just happened in
the Oval office.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
If you look at that those papers, they have them
stone cult and it was President Obama.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
It wasn't lots of people all over the place. It
was them too.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
But the leader of the gang was President Obama. Barack
Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? And except for
the fact that he gets shielded by the press for
his entire life, that's the one they look.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
He's guilty.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Is that a question?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
You know? I like to say, let's give it time.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's there.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
He's guilty. They this was treason. This was every word
you can think of. They tried to steal the election,
they tried to upfuscape the election. They did things that
nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries. You've seen
some pretty rough countries. This man has seen some pretty
rough countries, but you've never seen anything like that. And
we have all of the documents, and from what Tolci
(16:20):
told me, she's got thousands of additional documents coming. So
President Obama it was his concept, his idea, but he
also got it from crookeet Hillary Clinton. Crookedt is a
three dollars bill. Hillary Clinton and her group, the Democrats,
spent twelve million dollars to Christopher Steele to write up
(16:41):
a report that was a total fake report. Took two
years to figure that out, but it came out that
it was a total fake report.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It was made up fiction.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, So Trump going hard after the Russia collusion hoax,
which you know a lot about, Buck, because you were
intimately involved through the intelligence they agencies analyzing this back
in the day for CNN. We talked about it yesterday
and we'll dive into this at the bottom of the hour.
But do you believe you have found charges that could
be brought of a criminal nature against any of these people.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yes, if you want to get creative, this is just
we do to them what the what they did to us,
so to speak, And it's I mentioned this before. It
would be eighteen USC. Two forty two Federal Statute deprivation
of rights under color of law. That's the one they
(17:35):
may I don't know if they'll be able to make that.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Let's talk about the analysis of this legally, because the
advantage they have which we do not have is they
have the Kangaroo Court in DC, which will indict Republicans
for anything.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Could you get indictments against Democrats here? That's the question.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
The Trump administration is focused on making our economy zoom.
You know that much. We see evidence of it in
the quarterly results that were just posted on Wall Street
this week. But I'm betting the Trump administration is going
to continue to do great things. I know you are too.
You need to take action for yourself though. This is
on you as an individual, because even if the economy
is great, you've got to be making smart moves for
(18:17):
yourself and your family. So why I think gold makes
so much sense? Gold is an appreciating asset of forty
percent in the past year in central banks from other
countries continue to bolster the demand for gold by buying
in record quantities. Birch Gold Group is who I trust
for my gold. They can convert an existing IRA or
four A one k into a tax sheltered IRA in
physical gold. That's right, the Birch Gold group, my friends,
(18:39):
check them out today. Text Buck to ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight. Birch Gold will send you a free
info kit on gold text Buck to ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight. Remember you can have an old IRA
or four to one k transition to a physical gold
IRA with Birch Gold. All right, welcome back in. So
President Trump was just talking in the Oval Office with
(19:00):
well with the whole nation, but he was sitting next
to the president of the Philippines, and he covered a
whole range of topics. Right. This is this is the
nature of a Trump press conference. It's never the message.
Staying on message for Trump is whatever the heck he
feels like in the moment. Talking about that is that
is on message. When you're dealing with Trump, their message
(19:21):
is whatever he wants. No, there's no script, there's no
roadway ahead. And he covered a lot of things, and
the media obviously was pushing him a bunch of different directions.
But let's do Let's first take a look here at
the focus. Now. This comes after the Director of National
Intelligence Taulsey Gabbert came out with more information, released new
(19:45):
information showing that the CIA was well aware that Russia
didn't steal the election for Trump. Clay shared out this
morning on x I saw it like two minutes of
just people across all the Democrat news sites and and
channels saying that Russia hacked the election. And I always
thought that was such a weasel word to use. What
(20:06):
does that mean, hacked the election? That what they wanted.
What they're saying is Russia involved itself in some way,
But they want people to believe that Russia actually hacked
the voting machines, which they did not do, and there
was never any evidence or proof of that whatsoever. But
seventy percent of Democrats going two years into Trump's first term,
you know that clearly seventy percent of Democrats believe that
(20:27):
Russia actually got into the voting machines to help Trump
beat Hilly.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
They're so smart with the verbs that they use often
because hacked the election can be a broad term of like, oh, well,
they hacked a few emails. Hacked the election is clearly
a phrase that is intended to tell you they changed
the outcome of the election, right, because otherwise, like who cares?
First of all, we try to hack almost every election
(20:54):
that takes place in any country in the world that
we care about. This whole idea that we have clean
hand ends, right, how in the world. I mean, you
could speak to this probably better, but I always love this,
like the idea that America just sits back and we
have absolutely no involvement in elections around the world. We probably,
to be fair, are the number one actor involved in elections.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Around the world.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
So this idea that we are clean hands here, but yes,
of course our adversaries attempt to get involved in many
different things that we do in the country. Hacked the
election is clearly intended to send the message that Trump
would have lost but for Russia.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And that Russia actually actively hacked.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It's a little bit. You could say someone's biohacking if they,
you know, have like a snack that's dates in maple
syrup or something. If you turn on Instagram. Now everyone's
by the way, ninety percent of these people, especially I
mean if they're guys, ninety percent of these people who
are telling you how to improve your health and whatever,
and I'm somebody who, as you know, has gone on
a fitness journey for a year now and lost about
forty pounds. Ninety percent of them are just taking stare
(21:59):
of lying to you about it, just you know, you
don't have to or some form of enhancement, whether it's
you know, elevated levels of TRT or whatever. So just
whenever you see some guy with a six pack, he's like,
this is what I eat in a day, and you're like,
that guy looks like Leonidas from the movie three hundred.
It's not because he had a couple of banana slices
in the morning or whatever. Or it's not because he
(22:21):
had his you know, yogurt and yogurt parfe before dinner.
It's because he's taken stuff. He's not telling you about it.
I'd say nine out of ten of those guys you're
doing that. Put that aside for a second. That's just
a free that's just a little free at free insight
for any of you out there who are on Instagram
or TikTok these days, what would it look like if
they were Oh, before we get to the charges, President
Trump spoke about this here. He is crooked Democrats, Barack
(22:44):
Hussein Obama. He loves to throw in the Hussein part.
This is cut twenty nine. Play it.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right
there with him, and so was sleeping Joe Buden and
so with the rest of them, Cami Clapford all grew
and they tried to rig an election, and they got caught.
And then they did rig the election in twenty twenty.
And then because I knew I won that election by
a lot, I did it a third time and I
(23:10):
won in a landslide.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Every swing state won the popular vote.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
But I won that all the same way in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
And look at the damage that was cast. He's not
moving on at all from the twenty twenty election was stolen.
In fact, he's saying that there was a effectively a
treasonous conspiracy to undo the twenty sixteen election, and he
wants accountability for this. This is what the current president
(23:38):
of the United States is saying. And he has been
one thing about him on this stuff. He has been
consistent on how poed he is on this for a
long time.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Let's cut to the chase, because I think a lot
of people out there are going to say, okay, we've
heard this for years. I think the evidence is out
there that supports that this did occur. There's no doubt
that they manufactured and in some way exaggerated the amount
that Russia was involved in the impact that they had,
even in the verb choices that they used in the
(24:08):
testimony that they put forward. So here's the question that
I have you mentioned what the charges could be. They
would have to go through a DC grand jury. DC,
as we know, vote Democrat ninety five percent. Here is
my statement to you, and if I'm wrong, we'll grab
this and we will play it and I will admit
(24:30):
that I am completely wrong, and you guys can tap
dance on my idiocy.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
There's no way that a DC grand jury is indicting
Barack Obama for anything.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It will not happen. So you not only well, also.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Wouldn't it be when he was when he was president,
we've already established, right, I mean, the the charges against
Obama would would deal with when you know, Hillary Trump.
We're talking twenty sixteen election now, and we've already well
established under Trump that you actually can't be charged for
conduct in office. So I think.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Presigher than that's a great point. As we said, the
Supreme Court has given ample protection of presidents that benefited
Trump and would benefit Obama here. But let's pretend that
they are charging him for non presidential actions. Like, let's
pretend that they find out that Obama after he left
the presidency, this occurred in I guess it would be
(25:28):
like January late January twenty seventeen, February twenty seventeen. I
do not believe leave a side statute of limitations too.
I do not believe that there is a jury in Washington,
d C. A grand jury that would indict Barack Obama
for virtually any crime. So you can say, hey, we
(25:48):
want to put out more information. You can say, hey,
we're investigating all this stuff. Obama basically lives in DC, right,
He's never left, so you would have to find a
venue where you could charge him. I don't see how
he could be charged for a crime outside of d C.
And I don't think that the grand jury that sits
typically in d C would indict Barack Obama for anything.
(26:12):
Now Hillary's in New York and she's never been president.
So if you were trying to get an indictment against Hillary,
you would either have to do it in New York
or in DC. That seems highly unlikely too. Why do
I bring this up? I believe and I understand the
frustration over all the lies that were told over what
(26:32):
I think could be accurately termed to be criminal behavior.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I don't think there's gonna be any consequences for it.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I'm just telling you I'm wrong. I will I will
own it. But legally, we coordinate this beforehand. Just so
you know, this is independently. We both came to this,
and I just don't I don't see it happening unless
they get very creative within the legal process.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I would just note Clay that the way though that
the other side will get at very creative with these
with charges. It's actually on display with a case that
hasn't gotten a lot of attention in conservative media. A
lot more focus on Epstein Russia collusion other things. But
remember the Brionna Taylor case, which was a huge part
(27:17):
of the BLM narrative and the the the police officer,
a police officer rather who was this just happened earlier
today was sentenced to thirty three months in prison for
violating the civil rights of Brianna Taylor. Now you may
(27:38):
be did Trump DOJ for the conviction had already happened.
The Trump DOJ had said to the judge, Hey, look
this guy, this is preposterous. Basically, this guy should get
one day in jail. It's basically time served, like let
him out. And the judge in the case decided to
give him a full three years basically just shy three
(28:00):
years in federal prison. He didn't even shoot her. He
shot in response to a guy shooting at the cops.
They said, police, open up. I mean, I remember this
Breonna Taylor case. They thought the guy, you know, and
there's all this story and all this evidence you look
at it that there were packages being dropped off at
the house. So this wasn't like they just went into
(28:21):
the wrong house. They thought that she was The police
believed that Breonna Taylor, her premises was being used for
drug deal was that was what they got their warrant on.
And so they knocked at the door and the guy
starts shooting through the door at the cops.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yep, who did he really?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Who did he really think he was shooting at everybody?
He just thought that oh it was drug dealers that
had come to rob him. Really did the drug dealers say,
you know, police open up. But the guy who just
got three almost three years in federal prison, the Trump
DJ wanted one. They wouldn't even brought the case. But
I believe the conviction had already happened this guy. I
think state charges, by the way, Clay also were not
(28:58):
brought up against this guy. He shot through the window
in response to the gunfire at him. That's what this
cop did. So he returned fire and shot through a
window to try to hit the guy who was shooting,
and did hit one of his fellow police officers. And
they charged him with violating Brenna Taylor's civil rights. Yeah
(29:20):
what is that? Yeah anything? He didn't shoot her, Just
to be clear, he didn't even hit her. So by
shooting through the window in response to somebody else who's
trying to kill you and your fellow officers, the Biden
era DOJ and this judge now think you should go
to prison for years. It's outrageous.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
And they had multiple cases, they had mistrials, they had
a variety of different stories. They came out for people
out there who maybe just don't remember what happened on
that day, is that the Louisville police officer said they
announced themselves before entering the home, were meeting met with gunfire.
(30:02):
According to the statement, Walker discharged his firearm first injuring
an officer. Walker claimed, this is the individual inside of
the home that he thought someone was entering the residence illegally.
Uh n cal said, somebody kicked in the door, shot
my girlfriend. So all of this came out of it.
(30:24):
And look the upshot of it is. It happened on
March thirteenth, twenty twenty, right in the midst of the
BLM era beginning.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, so they fed these they fed these cops to
the angry mob. Is what happened. We all see exactly
what happened here. This was just, oh my gosh, we're
having a racial reckoning. What can we do? The cops
were under fire and one of them was actually shot,
and they returned fire. It was an accident that Breonna
Taylor was hit. They were not trying to shoot her.
(30:55):
But if somebody I spent a little fair amount of
time with guns, a fair amount of time shooting I
tell you this, Clay, somebody is shooting at me, I
am shooting back, and I'm a pretty good shot. But
under fire. Nobody knows how I've never been shot at,
and nobody knows how good they are at dealing with
that until they have to. Your adrenaline dump goes through,
you know, puts your adrenale through the roof, and to
charge though with you know, he was acquitted on state charges,
(31:18):
so he's acquitted, this officer, and then they bring federal
charges of deprivation of rights, which is what they always
do when they want to get these cops, which is
just this kind of catch all for like, you know,
the racial reckoning we need after George Floyd or whatever.
He is a mistrial on that one, and they bring
it again. They bring this again after a mistrial and
(31:38):
an acquittal, so desperate, you know why, because they worried
that you know, they're in the in the low income
areas of Louisville. There would be whole neighborhoods or you know,
a whole stores burned down and blocks burned down if
they didn't at least put one cop away for this.
That's just the truth.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I think your point yesterday about the the amount of
camera is on police, basically we haven't had a BLM
incident since we have had cameras on police doesn't mean
that police are not going to do things wrong. Everybody
in their profession can screw up, but it's pretty evident
when a cop acts well outside the bounds of police authority,
(32:17):
and most people.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Don't defend them.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
But most of the time when you see these videos,
you're like, yeah, the cop had a reason to be
defending himself for herself in the manner in which they did.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Look.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
One of the least talked about, unfortunately, most important legal
documents a will, and oftentimes you never know when that
will or trust is going to become incredibly important. I'm
forty six years old. I've got a will and a trust.
Buck has got a will and a trust. In fact,
I did when I had my first son. We had
(32:50):
our first kid. He's now seventeen years old. I was
twenty eight. I was relatively young, and I said, hey,
I want to get a will and trust in place.
And when I did my life insurance, Hey, I don't
know what's going to happen to me. I don't know
how long I'll live. I want to make sure that
I'm doing everything I can to help take care of
my kids. And so I'm gone through the process of
putting a will in a trust in place. I hope
(33:11):
that I have a very long life to come, but
who knows. We never know when our time is up.
And if you are like me and you spend a
lot of time thinking about what's going to happen after
you're gone, you think about your kids, You think about
your family, You think about trying to make things as
easy for them as possible. One of the best things
you can do, Dad or mom out there, grandma and
grandpa is get a will and trust and a lot
(33:32):
of people, I think only thirty percent of people have
even gone through the problem of doing this, and it
doesn't take very long.

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 2 (34:14):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show if you
were watching on video, and we will put this up
as a YouTube short. Buck and his three month old
son now on the screen. And the kid is a cutie.
I think I said yesterday he has started to put
on some lbs. He is in chubby baby stage. I
(34:36):
think it's fair to say I thought he would be
a QB. He's looking more like a lineman these days,
looking more and more like a lineman. I love this
because I love to see in real time the growth.
We just went over eighty five thousand YouTube subscribers. I said,
I just wanted to get us over one hundred. I
think I started talking about it last week. Basically every
(34:57):
time I say this, we add seven thousand YouTube subscribers.
So I'm asking you guys, we want to continue to
grow the show on all fronts, and YouTube is the
number one location for video on the entirety of media
right now, and we want you to go subscribe. All
you have to do is type in my name Klay Travis,
(35:17):
type in buck Sexton.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
You will get the show YouTube.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Click subscribe, go into the comments and you can leave
questions there. You can also record questions on the talkback
at with iHeart, and we will do talkback answers to
your questions going forward, which will be exclusively up at YouTube.
So we are sitting at as I look right now,
(35:41):
eighty five thousand, two hundred subscribers. We are rapidly advancing
on one hundred k, and many people are watching those videos. Eventually,
the full show will go up on this page and
everyone will be able to watch to the extent that
you would like to three hours of us on video
every day. I didn't say I understand why you would
(36:02):
want to do that, but I did say that you
will be able to. That is where we're headed. Go
ahead and get subscribed. Thank you in advance. Let's drive
that number up over one hundred k when we come back.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Some fun here.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Trump continuing to tee off, but also reports that Jelaane
Maxwell may be coming to testify in front of Congress.
A report that that offer is out there. We will
dive into that. We'll continue to follow the Colbert fallout.
By the way, we're going to head up to the
great state of Alaska in our three. Senator Dan Sullivan
(36:37):
of Alaska is scheduled to join us. Then all that
coming your way, we appreciate all of you spending your
well Tuesday with us. I had to think there for
a minute about exactly what day it is. It is
the summer. We will be hanging with you next here
on playing Bucks
Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis en Buck
(00:03):
Sexton Show kicks off right now. Appreciate you being with us.
A lot to dive into. Right now, as we're talking
to you, President Trump is speaking to the nation. He
is in the Oval Office, He's doing a sit down
with the President of the Philippines, and they're covering a
whole range of topics, and that is in real time
(00:24):
as I'm speaking to you. Trump right now laying into
the Russia hopes as the biggest scandal in history. And
we'll bring you some of the key soundbites from this meeting.
Also discussion from the president from our president. Right there's
the Philippine president, there's President Trump sitting side by side,
but of more cooperation, military cooperation with the Philippines, and
(00:49):
Trump saying we're gonna have more missiles than we've ever
had before. Slow missiles, fast missiles, big missiles, small missiles.
So we've got that to dive into, and we'll bring
you some of it. Hunter Biden, the interview he did
is actually getting a lot of attention. And now Clay
is not the only person that I have heard who
thinks that he might see a role for himself in politics. Still,
(01:13):
I just want to say, I still think this is crazy,
but there's a little voice in my head that says,
oh my gosh, there's a small chance that Clay actually
may be on to something with this one, and I
will be the crazy one for having missed it. But
we shall see.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I want him to run, let me be clear, and
I don't think he has any chance to be the nominee.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
But I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The only thing that adds up here to me is
Hunter thinks he is the savior of his family and
that there is actually a demand for him in a
way that every other Democrat basically is like, no, no, no, no,
we just want to pretend to Biden era never happened.
I think Hunter thinks he should run. I think that's
what Hunter has got in his head.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That would be It would be the craziest thing in
American politics in terms of somebody wanting to or deciding
to run again. And since Anthony Wiener, post conviction, oh yeah,
post criminal sex crime, decided that he was going to
run for the mayor of New York City and then
that faded out rather quickly, so the Hunter Biden thing,
(02:17):
it is interesting to see Hunter describing the differences between
crack cocaine and other forms. He is like a chemist.
He actually has some real domain knowledge, not about say,
international energy agreements, where he was being paid by Barisma
as a consultant. But you know, if the cartels were
(02:38):
paying this guy, I would have understood that because he
knows a lot about drugs. It's pretty impressive when he
breaks it down. We'll bring you some of those of
those clips. The whole Hunter thing, though, is I am surprised.
I thought the bidens were I thought the bidens were done.
But you know one thing, Clay, that I think we
now all have to be ready for an American politics
is that for people, for people who have been in
(02:59):
the game or near the big game in some capacity,
they'll never accept that they're done. Look at Joe Biden.
For people who have just even gotten a taste of
what it is to be truly in power, they think
that there's always a lane, always a role for them.
And I think that Hunter Biden, yes he's a recovering
(03:21):
addict and all that, he's just an example an example
of that. We've also got just a few other odds
and ends to throw in here, before we get into
some of the Trump stuff, Clay, Speaker Mike Johnson is
gonna shut down the House until September. They're not gonna
have a vote on releasing the Epstein files d o J.
I believe that the number two at DOJ, or somebody
(03:42):
close to the number two is going to possibly have
a conversation with Gelen Maxwell, the co conspirator, along with
Jeffrey Epstein, who is still alive in custody, So that
story is getting some attention. And then Trump on the
late night TV removal of Stephen Colbert, Trump wrote this, Clay,
(04:08):
the word is and it's a strong word at that.
Jimmy Kimmel is next to go in the untalented Late
night sweepstakes, and shortly thereafter Fallon will be gone. These
are people with no talent, paid millions of dollars for
destroying what used to be great television. Really good to
see them go. I hope I played a major part
in it. Trump not just defeating them, but salting the
(04:28):
earth under their feet.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Clay, I still can't believe that they've decided to make
a martyr out of Stephen Colbert, who's making somewhere between
fifteen or twenty million dollars a year, whose show is
losing forty million dollars a year and somehow that he
is a martyr because he was fired. I mean, look,
if this show was losing any money at all, I
(04:52):
would expect that we would get fired. I just would
any show that I have ever done in the history
of my life. We'd be we'd we'd be, We'd be
go let go. I have never been on any show
to my knowledge that has has lost money.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Rative I've been at media companies that were losing money
and everybody starts getting fired.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So that's not what I have. That's what I have been.
I have been fired.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That's one reason I started out kick and yes, Buck
might prefer the euphemism left go but let go. But
let go implies that you had an option to continue
to hold on.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I didn't have an option to continue.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I've pulled the the Indiana Jones running in front of
the boulder a few times and just grabbed the hat.
But it was like if I didn't leave, the doors
were closing and they were padlocking them. So I've had
that a few times.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So look, I just anyone who works in media at
some point in time, if your product doesn't make money,
they find somebody who they think can make money. I
can't even imagine having the arrogance to be doing show
that is losing forty million dollars a year, forty million
(06:05):
dollars a year, and then to be arguing, oh, the
only reason I'm being fired is because I've been too
critical of President Trump. No, you're being fired because that
forty million dollars that the company is losing on your
show could be allocated to hire a lot more people
(06:25):
who could do a lot more profitable work.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'm just I've always been I'm not a big late
night guy in general. And the more you learn about
how important sleep is now I'm being really boring. The
more you realize going to bed earlier is doing yourself
a huge favor whenever you can, whenever you can. Just saying,
but Jay Leno, whom I always like more than Letterman,
although I was a casual watcher at best, I mean
(06:49):
I saw it, but I was like, I would watch
it kind of by accident if I was up at night.
I can't say, but I really never would anyway. Leno
producer Ali pulled this Yesterdy because I thought this is true,
Leno took a substantial pay cut. Yeah, to keep staff,
to keep his team around. Nothing like that, trust me.
If Colbert's agent had something like that to throw out
there at this point, now is when these stories would
(07:11):
all come out. Colbert making fifteen million a year, let's
call a fifteen million clay while the while the show
is losing forty he would know the show's losing forty
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It's obscene, obscene greed. And to let people behind the curtains.
I don't know how many people publicly talked about this.
I took a pay cut. You took a pay cut
during COVID so that we could we have contracts, so
that we could avoid having to let go people who
worked on I did a sports talk show at the time,
you did a political show. We took substantially less. And
(07:45):
by the way, so did a lot of our bosses.
So did a lot of people out there. When times
got tough during COVID and you didn't know what in
the world was going to happen, the first thing people do.
So I think people understand this in some ways, but
when people start to feel like a recession is coming,
one of the first things that companies do is spend
less money on advertising, and so it hits what we
(08:07):
do faster than a lot of other places. So when
COVID happened, which was this cataclysm where suddenly everybody's like, hey,
we're gonna show there's only essential, non essential businesses everything else,
we took huge pay cuts to maintain in some way
the show's ability to continue to employ staff. And so
(08:28):
you don't get to losing forty million dollars, It doesn't
happen rapidly. You have to work your way up to
losing forty million dollars. So I would think that pathway
towards losing that amount of money is been rapid and.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Has been gradual. Right.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
In other words, there's lots of time where you could
have reversed the direction that the ship was headed, so
to speak. Also, why didn't nobody say, hey, we're spending
one hundred million dollars on this show and we're losing.
I bet they spend this is just my guess. I
bet they spend twenty million total if that on Gutfeld.
(09:06):
So Gutfeld, which is also in a New York City studio,
which also has a live audience. Some of you watch
that on Fox News. I don't know why they didn't
just say, hey, why don't we just rent a much
smaller studio space, have a much smaller live audience, dial
back the overall expenditures in a way that would allow
this program to at least break even. I bet that
(09:29):
they fought back against that idea because it would be
seen as a as a lack of endorsement of the show.
But I think that this is likely true. I think
all late night shows are going to be gone. I
think Trump is going to ultimately triumph in a way
that is pretty unbelievable over his harshest critics everywhere at MSNBC, CNN,
late night television. I think They're all going to lose
(09:51):
their jobs and Trump's going to be more powerful than ever.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah. Well, CNN has been destroyed by Trump. The brand
will never recover. The late night hosts I think have
been are in process of all being defenestrated from their
privileged purchase. Look at you, mister, Yeah, I'm impressed he
does what he does. And I think that Trump has
(10:16):
done a tremendous service for the American people just by
exposing how many of these media outlets, how many of
these so called news organizations or even so called comedians
or comedic enterprises are really just a smug propaganda and
there's no reason for these things. They're not being supported
by the marketplace. They're really you know, let's just say it,
(10:39):
Clay late Night TV sort of turned into the w
NBA of the television world, subsidized ye, yeah, subsidized by
other actually profitable ventures within the company. And for what why? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I think that the analogy. I made that analogy yesterday
I on want of our OutKick shows. The WNBA lost
forty million dollars last year. It's the same amount as
Stephen Colbert and the protest. The players came out and
pay us what you owe as T shirts. Well, if
you got actually paid what you were owed, as we
discussed yesterday, you would actual given a PixL of teams. Yeah,
(11:16):
you'd be you sent home money, yeah you You would
actually no longer have a job if you were paid
what you were owed, because you were owed nothing if
you work for the WNBA. But nonetheless, it is effectively
like a charity. It's a it's a it's a DEI.
Women's sports charity is what the w NBA as a
pure business venture operates as Now, maybe that's changing now, uh,
(11:39):
you know, because of some of the visibility that it gets.
But on the late night TV host these late night comedians,
this is a major cultural shift. And it also proves
once again that what the right has been saying for
over twenty years, which is they these are there's left
wing dominance in these media outlets. It's not about the
profit motive. You know, they used to get away with saying, well,
(11:59):
this is what the audience wants. It's not about the
profit mode of a lot of these places. Whether it's
Hollywood studios you're talking about depends on the movie, or
you're talking certainly about the news organizations. They are ideologically
driven first on many of these decisions in many of
these ways. And you see that with late night comedy.
And I remember what a successful weapon the Daily Show
(12:23):
was against the Bush administration. And I did watch the
Daily Show pretty frequently when I was in college, and
the Daily Show gave people who didn't want to really
engage with the facts the ability to think that everybody
who disagreed with them was an idiot. Well that may
feel like fun at the time, but it's actually not
good for discourse.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So I think that this is all to the good,
and we'll talk more about about some of this and
also what Trump has had to say here about the
referral and Russia collusion. Clay, I have found an answer,
and it's one of the things that I offered up
here as what would they what would they actually charge
them with? We can address that.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh good, So I went deep diving into the into
the criminal files.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yes, but it's what I said, which is we're going
it is not this is the law as the law
so much as it is due unto others as they
have done unto you. And that is the approach that
I think could could That's the only way they could
find a charge here. I'll explain more later. You know,
no organization out there looks after the lives of unborn
babies the way that Preborn does. Their commitment to working
(13:30):
with pregnant mothers who are contemplating an abortion is steadfast,
day in and day out. They want to give that
mom the better choice, the better option of life for
that baby. Preborn made it possible for more than sixty
five thousand unborn children to realize life last year alone.
The team of people working there at Preborn Clinics provide
(13:51):
pregnant moms with assistants, and it all starts off with
the gift of a free ultrasound, because that ultrasound, which
the mom doesn't pay a dollar for, lets her meet
her unborn child, use science to create that divine connection
between mother and child. She hears the heartbeat, seize the
movements of the child within her, and so often that
is the turning point, and that is when a life
(14:13):
is saved. Preborn operates clinics in our nation where abortion
rates are highest, specifically to save as many lives as possible.
They need you, the pro life community. They need your help.
They get no government money whatsoever. To donate securely. Dial

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We should
also update you on the ongoing rolling press conference that
is Trump two point zero, President Trump in the Oval Office,
and he's going pretty hard in the paint here. Let
me go ahead and play this audio. We'll react to
it a bit, and we'll let Buck dive into his
(15:14):
what criminal charges could potentially be coming here is let's
start with this one. Cut twenty six. Trump says Obama
committed treason over Russiagate. He's guilty. It's not a question
at all. This is cut twenty six. Just happened in
the Oval office.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
If you look at that those papers, they have them
stone cult and it was President Obama.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
It wasn't lots of people all over the place. It
was them too.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
But the leader of the gang was President Obama. Barack
Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? And except for
the fact that he gets shielded by the press for
his entire life, that's the one they look.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
He's guilty.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Is that a question?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
You know? I like to say, let's give it time.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's there.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
He's guilty. They this was treason. This was every word
you can think of. They tried to steal the election,
they tried to upfuscape the election. They did things that
nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries. You've seen
some pretty rough countries. This man has seen some pretty
rough countries, but you've never seen anything like that. And
we have all of the documents, and from what Tolci
(16:20):
told me, she's got thousands of additional documents coming. So
President Obama it was his concept, his idea, but he
also got it from crookeet Hillary Clinton. Crookedt is a
three dollars bill. Hillary Clinton and her group, the Democrats,
spent twelve million dollars to Christopher Steele to write up
(16:41):
a report that was a total fake report. Took two
years to figure that out, but it came out that
it was a total fake report.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It was made up fiction.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, So Trump going hard after the Russia collusion hoax,
which you know a lot about, Buck, because you were
intimately involved through the intelligence they agencies analyzing this back
in the day for CNN. We talked about it yesterday
and we'll dive into this at the bottom of the hour.
But do you believe you have found charges that could
be brought of a criminal nature against any of these people.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yes, if you want to get creative, this is just
we do to them what the what they did to us,
so to speak, And it's I mentioned this before. It
would be eighteen USC. Two forty two Federal Statute deprivation
of rights under color of law. That's the one they
(17:35):
may I don't know if they'll be able to make that.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Let's talk about the analysis of this legally, because the
advantage they have which we do not have is they
have the Kangaroo Court in DC, which will indict Republicans
for anything.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Could you get indictments against Democrats here? That's the question.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
The Trump administration is focused on making our economy zoom.
You know that much. We see evidence of it in
the quarterly results that were just posted on Wall Street
this week. But I'm betting the Trump administration is going
to continue to do great things. I know you are too.
You need to take action for yourself though. This is
on you as an individual, because even if the economy
is great, you've got to be making smart moves for
(18:17):
yourself and your family. So why I think gold makes
so much sense? Gold is an appreciating asset of forty
percent in the past year in central banks from other
countries continue to bolster the demand for gold by buying
in record quantities. Birch Gold Group is who I trust
for my gold. They can convert an existing IRA or
four A one k into a tax sheltered IRA in
physical gold. That's right, the Birch Gold group, my friends,
(18:39):
check them out today. Text Buck to ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight. Birch Gold will send you a free
info kit on gold text Buck to ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight. Remember you can have an old IRA
or four to one k transition to a physical gold
IRA with Birch Gold. All right, welcome back in. So
President Trump was just talking in the Oval Office with
(19:00):
well with the whole nation, but he was sitting next
to the president of the Philippines, and he covered a
whole range of topics. Right. This is this is the
nature of a Trump press conference. It's never the message.
Staying on message for Trump is whatever the heck he
feels like in the moment. Talking about that is that
is on message. When you're dealing with Trump, their message
(19:21):
is whatever he wants. No, there's no script, there's no
roadway ahead. And he covered a lot of things, and
the media obviously was pushing him a bunch of different directions.
But let's do Let's first take a look here at
the focus. Now. This comes after the Director of National
Intelligence Taulsey Gabbert came out with more information, released new
(19:45):
information showing that the CIA was well aware that Russia
didn't steal the election for Trump. Clay shared out this
morning on x I saw it like two minutes of
just people across all the Democrat news sites and and
channels saying that Russia hacked the election. And I always
thought that was such a weasel word to use. What
(20:06):
does that mean, hacked the election? That what they wanted.
What they're saying is Russia involved itself in some way,
But they want people to believe that Russia actually hacked
the voting machines, which they did not do, and there
was never any evidence or proof of that whatsoever. But
seventy percent of Democrats going two years into Trump's first term,
you know that clearly seventy percent of Democrats believe that
(20:27):
Russia actually got into the voting machines to help Trump
beat Hilly.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
They're so smart with the verbs that they use often
because hacked the election can be a broad term of like, oh, well,
they hacked a few emails. Hacked the election is clearly
a phrase that is intended to tell you they changed
the outcome of the election, right, because otherwise, like who cares?
First of all, we try to hack almost every election
(20:54):
that takes place in any country in the world that
we care about. This whole idea that we have clean
hand ends, right, how in the world. I mean, you
could speak to this probably better, but I always love this,
like the idea that America just sits back and we
have absolutely no involvement in elections around the world. We probably,
to be fair, are the number one actor involved in elections.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Around the world.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
So this idea that we are clean hands here, but yes,
of course our adversaries attempt to get involved in many
different things that we do in the country. Hacked the
election is clearly intended to send the message that Trump
would have lost but for Russia.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And that Russia actually actively hacked.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It's a little bit. You could say someone's biohacking if they,
you know, have like a snack that's dates in maple
syrup or something. If you turn on Instagram. Now everyone's
by the way, ninety percent of these people, especially I
mean if they're guys, ninety percent of these people who
are telling you how to improve your health and whatever,
and I'm somebody who, as you know, has gone on
a fitness journey for a year now and lost about
forty pounds. Ninety percent of them are just taking stare
(21:59):
of lying to you about it, just you know, you
don't have to or some form of enhancement, whether it's
you know, elevated levels of TRT or whatever. So just
whenever you see some guy with a six pack, he's like,
this is what I eat in a day, and you're like,
that guy looks like Leonidas from the movie three hundred.
It's not because he had a couple of banana slices
in the morning or whatever. Or it's not because he
(22:21):
had his you know, yogurt and yogurt parfe before dinner.
It's because he's taken stuff. He's not telling you about it.
I'd say nine out of ten of those guys you're
doing that. Put that aside for a second. That's just
a free that's just a little free at free insight
for any of you out there who are on Instagram
or TikTok these days, what would it look like if
they were Oh, before we get to the charges, President
Trump spoke about this here. He is crooked Democrats, Barack
(22:44):
Hussein Obama. He loves to throw in the Hussein part.
This is cut twenty nine. Play it.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right
there with him, and so was sleeping Joe Buden and
so with the rest of them, Cami Clapford all grew
and they tried to rig an election, and they got caught.
And then they did rig the election in twenty twenty.
And then because I knew I won that election by
a lot, I did it a third time and I
(23:10):
won in a landslide.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Every swing state won the popular vote.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
But I won that all the same way in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
And look at the damage that was cast. He's not
moving on at all from the twenty twenty election was stolen.
In fact, he's saying that there was a effectively a
treasonous conspiracy to undo the twenty sixteen election, and he
wants accountability for this. This is what the current president
(23:38):
of the United States is saying. And he has been
one thing about him on this stuff. He has been
consistent on how poed he is on this for a
long time.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Let's cut to the chase, because I think a lot
of people out there are going to say, okay, we've
heard this for years. I think the evidence is out
there that supports that this did occur. There's no doubt
that they manufactured and in some way exaggerated the amount
that Russia was involved in the impact that they had,
even in the verb choices that they used in the
(24:08):
testimony that they put forward. So here's the question that
I have you mentioned what the charges could be. They
would have to go through a DC grand jury. DC,
as we know, vote Democrat ninety five percent. Here is
my statement to you, and if I'm wrong, we'll grab
this and we will play it and I will admit
(24:30):
that I am completely wrong, and you guys can tap
dance on my idiocy.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
There's no way that a DC grand jury is indicting
Barack Obama for anything.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It will not happen. So you not only well, also.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Wouldn't it be when he was when he was president,
we've already established, right, I mean, the the charges against
Obama would would deal with when you know, Hillary Trump.
We're talking twenty sixteen election now, and we've already well
established under Trump that you actually can't be charged for
conduct in office. So I think.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Presigher than that's a great point. As we said, the
Supreme Court has given ample protection of presidents that benefited
Trump and would benefit Obama here. But let's pretend that
they are charging him for non presidential actions. Like, let's
pretend that they find out that Obama after he left
the presidency, this occurred in I guess it would be
(25:28):
like January late January twenty seventeen, February twenty seventeen. I
do not believe leave a side statute of limitations too.
I do not believe that there is a jury in Washington,
d C. A grand jury that would indict Barack Obama
for virtually any crime. So you can say, hey, we
(25:48):
want to put out more information. You can say, hey,
we're investigating all this stuff. Obama basically lives in DC, right,
He's never left, so you would have to find a
venue where you could charge him. I don't see how
he could be charged for a crime outside of d C.
And I don't think that the grand jury that sits
typically in d C would indict Barack Obama for anything.
(26:12):
Now Hillary's in New York and she's never been president.
So if you were trying to get an indictment against Hillary,
you would either have to do it in New York
or in DC. That seems highly unlikely too. Why do
I bring this up? I believe and I understand the
frustration over all the lies that were told over what
(26:32):
I think could be accurately termed to be criminal behavior.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I don't think there's gonna be any consequences for it.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I'm just telling you I'm wrong. I will I will
own it. But legally, we coordinate this beforehand. Just so
you know, this is independently. We both came to this,
and I just don't I don't see it happening unless
they get very creative within the legal process.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I would just note Clay that the way though that
the other side will get at very creative with these
with charges. It's actually on display with a case that
hasn't gotten a lot of attention in conservative media. A
lot more focus on Epstein Russia collusion other things. But
remember the Brionna Taylor case, which was a huge part
(27:17):
of the BLM narrative and the the the police officer,
a police officer rather who was this just happened earlier
today was sentenced to thirty three months in prison for
violating the civil rights of Brianna Taylor. Now you may
(27:38):
be did Trump DOJ for the conviction had already happened.
The Trump DOJ had said to the judge, Hey, look
this guy, this is preposterous. Basically, this guy should get
one day in jail. It's basically time served, like let
him out. And the judge in the case decided to
give him a full three years basically just shy three
(28:00):
years in federal prison. He didn't even shoot her. He
shot in response to a guy shooting at the cops.
They said, police, open up. I mean, I remember this
Breonna Taylor case. They thought the guy, you know, and
there's all this story and all this evidence you look
at it that there were packages being dropped off at
the house. So this wasn't like they just went into
(28:21):
the wrong house. They thought that she was The police
believed that Breonna Taylor, her premises was being used for
drug deal was that was what they got their warrant on.
And so they knocked at the door and the guy
starts shooting through the door at the cops.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yep, who did he really?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Who did he really think he was shooting at everybody?
He just thought that oh it was drug dealers that
had come to rob him. Really did the drug dealers say,
you know, police open up. But the guy who just
got three almost three years in federal prison, the Trump
DJ wanted one. They wouldn't even brought the case. But
I believe the conviction had already happened this guy. I
think state charges, by the way, Clay also were not
(28:58):
brought up against this guy. He shot through the window
in response to the gunfire at him. That's what this
cop did. So he returned fire and shot through a
window to try to hit the guy who was shooting,
and did hit one of his fellow police officers. And
they charged him with violating Brenna Taylor's civil rights. Yeah
(29:20):
what is that? Yeah anything? He didn't shoot her, Just
to be clear, he didn't even hit her. So by
shooting through the window in response to somebody else who's
trying to kill you and your fellow officers, the Biden
era DOJ and this judge now think you should go
to prison for years. It's outrageous.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
And they had multiple cases, they had mistrials, they had
a variety of different stories. They came out for people
out there who maybe just don't remember what happened on
that day, is that the Louisville police officer said they
announced themselves before entering the home, were meeting met with gunfire.
(30:02):
According to the statement, Walker discharged his firearm first injuring
an officer. Walker claimed, this is the individual inside of
the home that he thought someone was entering the residence illegally.
Uh n cal said, somebody kicked in the door, shot
my girlfriend. So all of this came out of it.
(30:24):
And look the upshot of it is. It happened on
March thirteenth, twenty twenty, right in the midst of the
BLM era beginning.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, so they fed these they fed these cops to
the angry mob. Is what happened. We all see exactly
what happened here. This was just, oh my gosh, we're
having a racial reckoning. What can we do? The cops
were under fire and one of them was actually shot,
and they returned fire. It was an accident that Breonna
Taylor was hit. They were not trying to shoot her.
(30:55):
But if somebody I spent a little fair amount of
time with guns, a fair amount of time shooting I
tell you this, Clay, somebody is shooting at me, I
am shooting back, and I'm a pretty good shot. But
under fire. Nobody knows how I've never been shot at,
and nobody knows how good they are at dealing with
that until they have to. Your adrenaline dump goes through,
you know, puts your adrenale through the roof, and to
charge though with you know, he was acquitted on state charges,
(31:18):
so he's acquitted, this officer, and then they bring federal
charges of deprivation of rights, which is what they always
do when they want to get these cops, which is
just this kind of catch all for like, you know,
the racial reckoning we need after George Floyd or whatever.
He is a mistrial on that one, and they bring
it again. They bring this again after a mistrial and
(31:38):
an acquittal, so desperate, you know why, because they worried
that you know, they're in the in the low income
areas of Louisville. There would be whole neighborhoods or you know,
a whole stores burned down and blocks burned down if
they didn't at least put one cop away for this.
That's just the truth.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I think your point yesterday about the the amount of
camera is on police, basically we haven't had a BLM
incident since we have had cameras on police doesn't mean
that police are not going to do things wrong. Everybody
in their profession can screw up, but it's pretty evident
when a cop acts well outside the bounds of police authority,
(32:17):
and most people.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Don't defend them.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
But most of the time when you see these videos,
you're like, yeah, the cop had a reason to be
defending himself for herself in the manner in which they did.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Look.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
One of the least talked about, unfortunately, most important legal
documents a will, and oftentimes you never know when that
will or trust is going to become incredibly important. I'm
forty six years old. I've got a will and a trust.
Buck has got a will and a trust. In fact,
I did when I had my first son. We had
(32:50):
our first kid. He's now seventeen years old. I was
twenty eight. I was relatively young, and I said, hey,
I want to get a will and trust in place.
And when I did my life insurance, Hey, I don't
know what's going to happen to me. I don't know
how long I'll live. I want to make sure that
I'm doing everything I can to help take care of
my kids. And so I'm gone through the process of
putting a will in a trust in place. I hope
(33:11):
that I have a very long life to come, but
who knows. We never know when our time is up.
And if you are like me and you spend a
lot of time thinking about what's going to happen after
you're gone, you think about your kids, You think about
your family, You think about trying to make things as
easy for them as possible. One of the best things
you can do, Dad or mom out there, grandma and
grandpa is get a will and trust and a lot
(33:32):
of people, I think only thirty percent of people have
even gone through the problem of doing this, and it
doesn't take very long.

ahead and get subscribed. Thank you in advance. Let's drive
that number up over one hundred k when we come back.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Some fun here.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Trump continuing to tee off, but also reports that Jelaane
Maxwell may be coming to testify in front of Congress.
A report that that offer is out there. We will
dive into that. We'll continue to follow the Colbert fallout.
By the way, we're going to head up to the
great state of Alaska in our three. Senator Dan Sullivan
(36:37):
of Alaska is scheduled to join us. Then all that
coming your way, we appreciate all of you spending your
well Tuesday with us. I had to think there for
