Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a wide-ranging and hard-hitting discussion on the most pressing political and cultural issues dominating the national conversation. The hosts open with sharp commentary on the ongoing fallout from the alleged Biden dementia coverup, expressing skepticism about any meaningful consequences from the investigations into former intelligence officials John Brennan and James Comey.
The hour also features a passionate defense of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers amid rising political hostility. The hosts condemn recent attacks on ICE agents and highlight the media’s lack of coverage compared to high-profile cases like the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot. They argue that the mainstream media’s selective reporting shapes public opinion and undermines law enforcement.
A major segment is devoted to Michelle Obama’s podcast, which the hosts criticize as emblematic of elitism and entitlement. They argue that her public persona contrasts sharply with her podcast content, which they describe as bitter and ungrateful despite her privileged status. This leads into a broader critique of the Democratic Party’s declining political brands—Obama, Clinton, and Biden—and a comparison to the unified support behind Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
The show also touches on the New York City mayoral race, expressing concern over candidate Mamdani, and revisits the Jeffrey Epstein case, noting continued public interest and unanswered questions.
In a lighter segment, the hosts discuss celebrity performances on Jeopardy, including Wolf Blitzer’s infamous loss, and tease upcoming trivia challenges. They also preview interviews with Senator John Cornyn on Texas flood recovery and immigration enforcement, and Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan on college athlete compensation and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) reform.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, everybody, welcome in Thursday edition of Clay and Buck,
your one stop shop for all of your news analysis. Laughs,
good times, everything right here right now. Thanks for joining
us on this epic adventure. We have some big things
to dive into. We've got the continued fallout from the
(00:22):
Biden dementia cover up, interesting new stuff to bring to
that conversation Brenny, Brennan and Komy under investigation.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I don't think anything's gonna come of that. I'm just
telling you Mark, this one down market down is a
Buck prediction. Neither of those guys are going to prison.
So there's that. More on immigration and customs enforcement and
how the Democrats are trying to thwart the centerpiece of
the Trump agenda at every turn. Steven Miller, our buddy.
(00:56):
He's not having it. He's not letting that go without
speaking the truth on it. Yes, there is continued conversation,
certainly about the Epstein files, the Epstein case, and we
have no shortage Clay of talkbacks, emails, etc. On that,
so we might get into some of this, and also
(01:17):
the New York City Mayor's race. This guy, Mom Donnie
is really bad news. I spoke to a friend down
here who is a realtor. Everyone in Miami has a
friend who's a realtor, because everybody's a realtor and already
getting calls though about people from New York who want
to become my neighbors. Jump on in the water is
(01:38):
literally warm here the beach. It's lovely. I highly recommend it,
So go go consider that one. Oh and Michelle Obama.
The more she speaks on this podcast, the more I
just want to look at all of you out there,
including you, mister Clay, who Michelle Obama's going to run.
If Michelle Obama had run, everybody would have seen what
(02:01):
I knew along, which is she is not a person
that people would want to vote for. I'll just say this,
the more you know about Michelle Obama, the less you
like Michelle Obama as a public figure. Yes, sir, I
could say. Clay's already ready to throw down on it.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I actually feel sad and sorry for Barack Obama every
time one of her new podcasts comes out, because she
sounds like an awful person to live with and the
entire podcast. First of all, it's very strange she's doing
a podcast with her brother. Weirdly, and look, I hope
(02:39):
everybody has really good, you know, relationships with your siblings,
but the duo of them is very awkward. He's kind
of sitting there. I was watching clips God Forbid this morning,
and he's sitting there, and she's interviewing Julia Louis Dreyfus,
and they're both Elaine from Seinfeld, Selena mya are from Veep.
(03:01):
I mean, she's a very talented comedic actor. She's very funny.
But they're both whining about how hard life is in
America for women. And I think that Julie Lwee Dreyfus
is the daughter of a billionaire and has made hundreds
of millions of dollars as a comedic actress. I don't
think that her life is particularly challenging. I'm sorry. And
(03:24):
I don't think that Michelle Obama's life is very challenging
at all. In fact, I think they actually represent what
incredible accomplishments are possible for people in American life, who
who are able to such an unbelievable success.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'll tell you this, I've come across this. You know
now that I have some gray in my beard, and
I'm coming upon my I'm in my fifth decade on
this earth. One thing that I've seen, Clay is people
who have been given a tremendous amount and have not
had to earn very much tend to be a really
toxic combination of incredibly arrogant and incredibly insecure. And you
(04:03):
see that with a lot of celebrities. You see that
with a lot of people who have either been handed
things because of who their parents are, or perhaps they
were able to maneuver within the system without ever really
feeling like they earned earned it. You know, they pulled
in Elizabeth Warren, if you will, have somehow managed to
just get and they know, deep down somewhere they didn't
(04:28):
get where they are because of how talented or how
hard working, whatever it may be. So that creates a bitterness.
Maybe it's a subconscious bitterness. But one thing that is
a defining characteristic of Michelle Obama's content recently is there
is just a seething bitterness that comes across all the time,
which you would just say, Wow, how much more of
(04:50):
a charmed life really could you lead than to be
the former first Lady worth one hundred million plus? All
this stuff, all the celebrities kissing up to you and
everything all the time. But like I said, I think
that she's lacking at some level in the self confidence
that comes from earning things. People know the difference between
being handed something and earning something.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And also even the decision to do a podcast seems
strange to me. And and what I mean by that
is for better or worse. I think you reveal yourself
in audio over time, and even if they're editing that,
and even if they're adjusting that, there is a schedule
and a regularity to it. And she was very protected
(05:35):
in the media. Almost nobody said anything negative about her
at all because she really didn't speak out publicly that often.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I think if you had said, Clay during the Obama administration,
what you said on this show on the air about
Michelle Obama being a brat, ye bitch, I mean yeah,
but I think that I think that there would have
been in a that like Mediaite and Media Matters would
(06:05):
have had an absolute meltdown and been demanding that you
know you you are canceled and all these things. Yeah,
you may be right, but I mean I think again
when you react to what she says, she is an
entitled bitchy brat is what she comes across on that podcast.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
As Now, you can disagree. You can call me an
entitled bitchy brat if you want, that's fine. But when
you listen to her, the difference between what she had
a public persona of and what the reality of her
is is so seismic that I think it shows you
how protected she had to be in larger media ecosystem.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Let's tie this all together. Oh, you mean that the
media was all in lockstep trying to tell us how amazing,
how brilliant, how they would routinely say the most beautiful
first lady. You know, on the matter of physical beauty,
which is a very subjective category, right, the most beautiful,
beautiful first lady, the most brilliant, for the wonderful, is
(07:09):
fair to say Milania Trump is objectively the most beautiful
first lady that has ever.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I mean, she was a supermodel. I mean, I don't
even know how you would are been a.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Lot of nice looking first ladies, but yeah, Malania Trump
was a person.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Of them living supermodels before they became I mean, objectively,
people are gonna yell at you and say she wasn't
a supermodel, but she was a successful international model. So
and and I guess the question is, what is the
official definition of supermodel? If you can make a living
off being beautiful by having your photo taken, which to
my knowledge, no other first lady ever has. I think objectively,
(07:41):
you would have to say she is the most beautiful
first lady there has ever been. Yet she doesn't get
on Vogue, and Joe Biden's on Vogue like three different times. Right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
What I was going to say to tithes together, though,
is they created an entirely false perception of Michelle Obama,
almost like they were able to create an entirely false
perception that Joe Biden didn't have dementia, or at least
they pretended that that perception was something they bought into.
All Right, I was going to talk about how a
judge in New Hampshire has certified a class action to
stop Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. We'll have to
(08:14):
get to that in a minute, because you know what
we went down. We went down this pathway, So let's
finish it off here to start, Michelle Obama Juliet Louis
Dreyfus on the podcast How Difficult It Is to Be
a Woman in America Play twenty four women.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
We have so many landmines and barriers and don'ts and limitations.
It's you know, I mean, Craig, you're the guy at
the table. But I think it's important for all guys listening,
especially men raising daughters, to realize that difference, you know,
(08:52):
and that thing that inadvertently, as you were loving and
raising these beautiful girls, there are so many rules make
us small baked.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
In without our knowing it, you know, yes, And I
wish I could. I mean, well, you know, I remember
people saying, well, well, she's a female doctor, as opposed
to just she's a doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Clay, who's she talking about?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
The end? But how about poor Craig sitting there, I mean,
like he's like, this is the most miserable conversation I've
ever had to be involved in. Did you just hear
him say there.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Like he's whiny feminism, which really all postmodernist feminism or whatever,
all left wing feminism is whiny and inherently kind of
tragic and soul crushing when taken to its logical streams.
First guys can sit around here too and just complain
endlessly about how many you know your life, my life.
(09:50):
Every guy listening to this we could sit here, we
could do a whole podcast shows whatever on all the
doors slammed in our faces, all the people telling us
that we're not good enough, all the disappointments we've had.
You know, that's life. Yeah, it's life. If you want
to be competing for anything, is that you're going to
have constant disappointments. You're gonna have constant people a lot
of things. You want to talk about things being rigged
(10:12):
against you? How about being a non legacy, non recruited athlete,
white guy trying to get into an elite college from
about nineteen eighty until a year ago. How about things
being I know.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
People say, oh, it's just so hard your.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Crime, Well really, because the system actually was rigged against
those people, and against Asians too. Asians were also rigged
in that system, but rigged against I.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Just I look at it and I think to myself,
she has had one of the most improbable journeys in
the history of America, she and her husband, and to me,
gratitude is the most powerful of all emotions. And she
(10:56):
seems this is why I said, she's kind of a whiny,
entitled braddy bitch. She seems to have no gratitude for
the incredible good fortune that she has had in this country.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I also think that what we have seen, and this
ties into where the Democrat Party is right now. The
Obama brand political brand is also not some But there
was always this belief for the four years of Biden. Oh,
you know, just wait until like Obama opens up the
(11:31):
you know, the arsenal of obama Ism, and all of
a sudden it's going No. Actually, Obama egregiously lied about Trump,
as we all know, right before the twenty twenty four election,
to the point where even Joe Rogan came out and said,
I mean, he's just lie, He's just a liar when
it really counts. And I think people have realized, well
(11:52):
more people have realized that the signature, so called achievement
of Obama's eight years was this healthcare law that was
supposed to bring down costs, and it has completely failed.
It is an abject failure. And Michelle Obama is not
a likable person. So when you add these things together,
the Democrats have lost the Clinton brand, the Biden brand,
(12:13):
and the Obama brand, all at the same time, and
all at a time when the Republican Party has never
been more unified behind a brand, and that is Donald Trump's.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Also remember the clip where she was like, I won't
even let my people pack my dresses, Like I just
I can't get over that. I don't know how many
women out there listen to us right now have a
team that packs their dresses when they go on vacation. Like,
what a weird thing to say on your podcast. And
by the way, something to think about is we go
(12:43):
to break Whatever you think about Bill Clinton and Barack Obama,
does listening to their wives speak actually make you like
them more because they have to put up with Hillary
Clinton and Michelle Obama.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
You're being You're reading far too charitable.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I think I argue that Barack Obama and Bill Clinton
are actually face to face likable people. I don't know
that Hillary Clinton and they can play the game. They
can play the game. I don't have any sympathy for
either of those guys.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
I do.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I do have a they have to live with that,
they have to sleep in it. I get it, But literally,
I don't know. Maybe as a married man, I'm just
too sympathetic. It's my thing, you know, too much empathy.
That's what people say about me all the time. Every
minute to home invasions are reported to the police across
the country. It's not a great stat indication of how
(13:36):
often home invasions can take place. Are you prepared? Prepared

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We're talking off air
about the protection of Michelle Obama, and I do think
this is going to be one of the lessons of Trump.
I think Trump has a steel spine and maybe he
understands innately media better and saw through the BS earlier
(15:19):
than a lot of other people did. Because Buck was saying, Hey,
you know, if you had said I think there's probably
maybe some truth to it, you know, a decade ago, Hey,
I think Michelle Obama is an entitled, spoiled brat bitch,
people would have been like, oh my god, we've got
to cancel this guy. That's not an opinion you can
actually have. And I think one of the real lessons
(15:41):
of Trump that other people are learning. And I had
to learn it because people came and tried to cancel
me all the time. For years is you cannot slow
down when you share an opinion and tiptoe up to it.
And the analogy that I always had was, if you're
an athlete in football, the best thing that somebody can
say about you is you play downhill on defense like
(16:04):
you would see a play, you diagnose it, and you
just go balls to the wall and try to wreck
the opposition. If you tiptoe up, you get beat. You
cannot win going half speed. And I think Trump has
recognized with what I would say is Trump speed. Hey,
I'm not going to be perfect in everything, but I'm
going to go with such speed in mostly the right
(16:25):
direction that people are going to fall off of me,
and ultimately we're going to move the country in a
better direction. I think that should be a lesson for
everybody out there in larger public sphere. If you have
a take, own it, go full speed through it. It's
when you tiptoe or apologize that you get wrecked. And
I think there's a football analogy there, and I think
a lot of guys out there who were linebackers or
(16:47):
safeties that played downhill to attack. That's the way you
have to live. So there's a little bit of a
Ted talk for everybody today that that was inspiring stuff. Well,
I'm filled with gratitude. I'd Mike Michelle Obama who he
wants to win. And every day I wake up and
I'm like man on another another awesome day. I feeling
so much joy.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
One of the most important things I think people find
as they get older is surrounding yourself with people who
choose to be positive day in and day out. Is
one of the best ways to improve your life in
the day to day and to limit to the greatest
extent possible people who choose to be negative and complain
all the time, because you can always find things to
(17:28):
There's endless things to complain about.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Everyone can find them. Great phrase on that energy vampires.
They suck all of the good energy. There's tons of them.
Everybody's got them in their lives their circles. To the
extent that you can eliminate energy vampires. They just come
and they feast and they take everything good and they
devour it. It really is a huge portion of the population. Unfortunately,
(17:52):
we try to give the opposite of energy vampire. What
would be the blood transfusers here Siren sounded across Israel
and jury early this morning, as the IDF detected a
missile launch from Yemen. Rarely a day now that goes
by in Israel, where everybody doesn't have to rush to
bomb shelters here in the US. Hard to imagine. I
saw it for myself over there. The prevalence of bombshelter
(18:15):
staggered me. That people have to be able to run
into This is part of what the IFCJ does. They
build bomb shelters, They help to provide protection for critical
aid and emergency first responders, and they help to feed
the sick, the elderly, children, families. The IFCJ is there
in Israel, working tirelessly. Now's the time to stand with Israel.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Klee, Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Let's give you a little roadmap but where we're going
today on the show, we have the third hour stacked
with some great guests. Texas Senator John Cornyn will be
with us in the third hour at the top talking
about the terrible floods in Texas. What's been done to
try to, you know, deal with that situation. Also on
(19:18):
the attacks on the immigration and customs enforcement agents, which
I still think have gotten nowhere near the focus and
attention nationally that they should have, because it's part of
a broader theme, which is that which we're about to
dive into, which is Democrats deciding that they're turning on
anybody who's enforcing immigration law. I mean, I mean really
(19:40):
turning on them, acting like they are the forces of darkness,
Hitler whatever, right, the Stasi. They usually don't say Stazzi
because how many leftists even really know about the East
German secret police? Very few?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Like this was the problem with oligarchy, like nobody knows
what an oligarchy is.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I think you mean oligauky, yes, And see Bernie would
just say that because it sounded fancy, and we don't
like the fancy people, you know, Bernie.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Bernie said this, all right, So we got back people
understood racist and white supremacist. When they started moving down
to fascist and oligarch that was a sign that their
hits weren't landing anymore. But they went to less well
understood attacks that even were less effective.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Remember when the religion of the left was all focused
on intersectionality, that was the key term. If you use
the phrase unless you were attacking it. But if you
use the phrase intersectionality without criticism or irony, it was
it was like a decoder ring, like you're a leftist,
like you're part of the I think they got away
(20:45):
from it because nobody knows. But how that is even
the people saying it don't even really know what it is.
A society where everybody's in a tier of oppression against
other people, but then aren't you one of the bad people?
Depending The whole thing makes no sense, right, So they
had to get away from that. They're constantly changing their language. Clay,
(21:05):
when I got into this business, I love saying it
fifteen years ago. It's been a long time. Progressive was
the term that democrats love to use. You don't hear
the term progressive really anymore. They love. What happened was
people saw the fruits of progressivism, and then they had
to It's like a restaurant that fails and has to
change its name as something else, you know, or they
(21:25):
have to bring it back in the same location and
change the name or a business that does that, like
they're just rebranding. They're not. Nothing has actually changed anyway.
We've got John Corny and Senator corn will be with
us in the third hour. Also Congressman from Ohio Jim
Jordan on name and likeness, something that has been keeping
me up late at night. I am super deep on
(21:47):
this issue college athletes getting paid money, NCAA rules commissioners
conferences that I've never heard of before. Clay, You're gonna
have to guide us a little bit more on that.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
One did wed. By the way, let me ask Greg, Greg,
do we have the Jeopardy question that I was going
to play for Buck? We have two different Jeopardy They
had a sports category on Jeopardy last night, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Know if you've seen communists, like I know sports. I
just don't watch a lot of come I want to see.
I want to see if you're going to get these
Jeopardy questions. So we're gonna for those of you out there,
don't tip bydy. We have not coordinated this in advance.
This is true. The team can voucher this. I have
no idea what Clay's talking about with these Jeopardy questions.
I do think you and I, if we could do duo,
(22:32):
I think we would do really well in news media
news media Jeopardy. I think it would be like you'd
have to there's a very small group of people out
left or right that I think would be able to tagle.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I agree if we had like quiz Bowl duo, you
and I would win Media Quiz Bowl duo have I've
always wanted to beyond Celebrity Jeopardy. I don't know that
I'm famous enough to be on, but I see a
lot of people that don't seem that famous on. And
we'll get to this clip, but wolf Blitzer went on
in two thousand and nine. I had never seen this.
Did you know this? He finished negative five thousand, Yeah,
(23:07):
five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
He doesn't clay. It all makes so much sense. That's
why he's a perfect CNN anchor. He looks the part
and is utterly brainless and will do whatever he is told.
He's the perfect CNN anchor.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Andy Richter wiped the floor with him, like Conan's like
comedic psychekick. But sorry, I got us fired up here
about the Celebrity Jeopardy in Quiz Bowl competitions, But you
wanted to play this.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Well, Yeah, on immigration, I think this is I think
this is a very big deal. I mean the central,
the central effort of the Trump administration. You're already seeing
the stuff happening with the economy, You're already seeing the growth,
the markets, all these things going in the right direction.
Energy policy is what it needs to be, and they're
seeing a lot of really, but to me, that's like
(23:57):
Trump table stakes, the place things really have to get done.
Seismic Chaine. Seismic shift is on immigration and the deep
and massive deportations. I mean, really turning back millions of
people who came in illegally, particularly under Biden. I think
that's really where you start. I have seen the report,
do we I think we have that in there somewhere,
(24:19):
the reports that there may be people pressuring Trump for
an amnesty and that is a total no go. I
think that is a and that would be disastrous. So
I don't he hasn't done that. I'm just saying I've
seen the reporting on this.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yeah. And also he said to be fair, like he doesn't. Eed.
Trump said publicly like I've seen these reports, like who
are they even talking about asking for amnesty? That's not
going to happen. It seems like that rumor got out there,
and even Trump himself was kind of taking a step
back and saying, where is this coming from?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And I think sometimes people also they they think that
Trump has had a little bit of a a little
bit of a I have a rough patch here with
his base over the Epstein situation, and so they want
to add fuel to that fiber, saying, oh, and now
he's going to give millions of farm workers amnesty. I
just I don't see that happening. And I'll just tell
(25:13):
you in advance. I totally think Trump is doing a
great job. I have voted for Trump three times all
that stuff. Yes, yes, yes, I will not support an
amnesty for farm workers or anybody who's here illegally. That's
not no no, that's a no go. Cannot do. But
I don't think anyway. I don't want to waste our
time in it because I don't believe that Trump is
going to do that. So let's not get into it.
(25:34):
But I've seen the reporting, so just to say we're
aware of that here, we're not, you know, we're not
blind to what's being said about this possibility. Now back
to ice officers, though, because I think this is really
insidious when you because it's Democrat members of Congress. It's
not just the left and Antifa and these maniacs online.
(25:56):
Democrat members of Congress keep saying, Clay, if you're the
good guys, you won't be covering your faces when you're
doing these jobs, because now you have ice officers who
are who are? And I see here and I go, Okay,
that's interesting to me, because undercover police officers don't. Only
it's not just that they obscure their identity. They take
on fake identities entirely. Right, members of the special operations community,
(26:21):
you see a lot of these guys still want to
obscure their They don't want any photos of them online.
They want to obscure their faces. Certainly active duty, but
even some former just don't don't want their So now
it's if you're doing a job and you don't want
the entire public to know who you are, you're the
bad guy. Steven Miller's having none of this. Play seven.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
They are fighting.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
They are battling every single day on the street. The
most violent, evil, ruthless criminal organizations.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
On the face of planet Earth.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Organizations who stock and trade is rape and murder. ICE
officers are not only heroes, but they're among the bravest
Americans among us.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Every day they go.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Out onto the knowing they face the threat of murder,
knowing they face the threat of docsing, knowing the hateful
smears against them and their family, the risk to their
lives and their liberty, and yet they continue to press
forward to do what to save this country. Every American
should be endlessly grateful to the men and women of
ICE for what they are doing, of what President Trump
(27:19):
is doing to liberate America.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
This is critical. We need to be supporting our immigrations
and Customs enforcement officers and the efforts that are underway
here and not allow there to be any break in
that support Clay because of what people mayors places like
LA and various members of Congress are saying to undermine
(27:46):
them and really make them fearful. We just had a
nice officer shot in the neck. We had a mass
assassination attempt of federal officers. I mean eleven people I
believe now are in custody for attempted murder of a
federal officer Clay in just the last few days. Democrats
take no take no uh moment of pause from the
rhetoric that they use about these individuals. They're they're saying
(28:07):
that they're uh, they're engaged in evil activity by enforcing
US law. And I think that that needs to be
called out for the undermining and destructive rhetoric that it is.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Right. I think that's a hun. I think that's a
hundred yes. I I signed on one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Was like good heavens, that mono was fantastic. I signed
on one hundred percent to it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
And I do think we are correct that the arrest
I mean, think about the amount this would be a
Sometimes I wish that I just employed people who could
study full time media coverage and how it impacts the
way that people respond. Think about the percentage of coverage
that we saw for the arrests of the ICE agents.
(28:51):
And we're going to talk with Senator Cornyn about this.
In Texas, that story was it eleven total people for
an arrest for trying to ambush an ICE facility. Think
about the percentage of that story and how many people
even saw it compared to Gretchen Whitmer. The Gretchen Whitnemer
(29:11):
kidnap story was everywhere and eventually some of those guys
even were found not guilty because it appears that that
was largely their defense was anyway, that that was largely
an entrapment situation. In other words, there were federal agents
who were trying to encourage that behavior and they and
(29:32):
the defense was that they had been entrapped engaging in
that conspiracy. That's the Gretchen Whitmer story. Think about how
much we saw of that story and compare it with
how much we've seen from what appears to have been
at least so far, a non governmental involved at all
attempted ambush of an ICE facility in Texas to kill
(29:54):
ICE agents. To me, there should be some mutuality or
equal eq quality of story coverage. They're both hugely impactful
if true. The one in Texas, I bet got one
percent of the story overall of Gretchen Whitmer. And we've
said this before, but I still remain and believe that
(30:14):
it's true. The power of the media largely is in
choosing what they choose to cover. That is the power,
That is the bias, That is where the real power
comes from. There are thousands of stories every day that
could or could not be covered. The choice of the
legacy media to cover some stories and make them unbelievably
(30:36):
huge versus others that they completely ignore is where you
can truly see them trying to shift the parameters of
public opinion and public debate.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
We'll take some of your calls here and also get
some of your talkbacks, even some of your salty ones,
some of your little salty out there. The Preborn network
of clinics is doing amazing work day in and day out,
and I really hope you'll consider supporting them. I support them,
and if your pro life, you want to save lives today,
changing minds, changing hearts, changing legislation, that takes a long time.
(31:07):
The overturning of Roe v. Wade did not get rid
of abortion in this country. In fact, tragically there's more
abortions now, and so we need to be saving little
babies as fast as we can in as many places
as we can. And the best way to do that
is what Preborn is doing. Because they're offering moms who
are in a crisis pregnancy, moms who are often getting
pressure to have an abortion, being told oh you don't
have to go through with this, they offer them love
(31:29):
and support and that incredible introduction via ultrasound to the
little baby that's growing inside their womb. Because once that
free ultrasound happens, once they welcome them into the welcome
mom into the preborn clinic, it's so much easier to
have her see the life growing inside her is precious
and that's a little boy or girl, and it's a
(31:51):
beautiful mission they're doing. They rely entirely on you, entirely
on you. Not a dollar of government funding goes to Preborn,
So it's up to a yes. Can you consider please
a donation Today They've saved three hundred and fifty thousand
babies through this process that I just ascribed to you
over over twenty years time. All you have to do
to donate securely is from your phone dial pound two
(32:14):
five zero and say the keyword baby. That's pound two
five zero, say baby. Or visit preborn dot com slash
buck that's preborn dot com, slash b U c K

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Sometimes all you can do is laugh.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
And they do a lot of it with the Sunday
Hang Join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up
in the Clay and Buck podcast feed, on the iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Superman movie fans are mad at me for my take
on the Superman movie, and I can't believe this is real.
But I'm gonna read to you some of the unbelievable
emails that I am being deluged with, and I promise
you that some of you are not gonna be able
to I'm gonna have to be really careful to edit
(33:04):
some of the things that are being said to me.
But I never expected that I was just gonna be
in a Superman movie fan like I'm the Antichrist according
to the Superman movie people right now, so trust me.
Top of next hour, we're gonna have some fun with this.
But on the clock right now, Buck Sexton. Sports Jeopardy
(33:26):
was a category last night. First of all, before we
get to Buck, can we play the flashback of Wolf
Blitzer loose on Celebrity Jeopardy, losing nearly five thousand dollars?
Here I A maze more on Twitter shared this with me.
I had not seen it. This is from two thousand
and nine CNN's Wolf Blitzer gets destroyed, not on Real Jeopardy,
(33:49):
on Celebrity Jeopardy cut twenty nine.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
The name of this pasta similar to penny means little
mustaches doesn't sound so tasty, now.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Wolf, what is Feccini?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
No?
Speaker 7 (34:02):
King David and Jesus both hailed from this town.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Wolf.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
What is Jerusalem an accused person in courts along.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
With his council, but as a defender.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
From a larger work well canodated.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
No, add one of this five letter word that refers
to an economic crash and the fear driven rush to sell.
What is a crash? Nope? Wolf, things have not worked
out as well as you would hope for.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I'm sure you needn't make final Jeopardy because they're playing
for charity. Buck, you have to be positive. You have
to have positive dollars to be able to make it Jeopardy.
He lost almost five thousand dollars on Jeopardy, which is
really hard to do.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
So we have we have Jeopardy sports questions. He's gonna play,
thinks he's gonna light me up here, I give you
my word. I have not we did not coordinate this,
and I have not seen or heard these before.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
So all right, here is cut twenty seven, a Jeopardy
NFL question for Buck. Play it number of points a
team gets for a safety in the.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
NFL safety in the NFL Buck two. I played Madden
for years in college. Okay, all right, okay.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Here were the Jeopardy answers last night, twenty seven A play.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
It, Scott, what is three? Sorry? No, ro what is one?
Also incorrect? Sarah?
Speaker 3 (35:27):
What is tim?
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Right in the middle, It's two points for a safety.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
So the girl finally gets it right. So the two
guys go zero for one to two, and I would
bet they both Wait.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You're not gonna ask me a WNBA question? This is harsh?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Is this? Honestly? This would have been I this was
the thousand dollars question? So, uh, there was a WNBA question.
Here it is cut twenty eight.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
This Yukon star had an intense spring in twenty twenty five,
playing on her first.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
National championship team.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
And being picked first in the WNBA draft.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Kaitlyn Clark, that's a good guess, and in fact, you
and Rahul would have been in cahoots. Here cut twenty
eight A. Here was Rahul's answer, who is Kitlin Clark?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
No, Carter Sack, that's nobody there.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Paige Becker's I now could offer me.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
A million dollars. I wouldn't get that one.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
To be fair, I don't think you would have guessed
Kaitlyn Clark because they do have the picture up. So
if you were on Jeopardy like this, this player is
blonde and Kaitlyn Clark is brown haired, so I think
you would have Probably that's a tough one. That was
the thousand dollars question, but you did get the safety right,
all right. When we come back, Superman is coming out.
(36:46):
The director said, it's intensely political. The Superman Army is
furious with me.
All right, everybody, welcome in Thursday edition of Clay and Buck,
your one stop shop for all of your news analysis. Laughs,
good times, everything right here right now. Thanks for joining
us on this epic adventure. We have some big things
to dive into. We've got the continued fallout from the
(00:22):
Biden dementia cover up, interesting new stuff to bring to
that conversation Brenny, Brennan and Komy under investigation.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I don't think anything's gonna come of that. I'm just
telling you Mark, this one down market down is a
Buck prediction. Neither of those guys are going to prison.
So there's that. More on immigration and customs enforcement and
how the Democrats are trying to thwart the centerpiece of
the Trump agenda at every turn. Steven Miller, our buddy.
(00:56):
He's not having it. He's not letting that go without
speaking the truth on it. Yes, there is continued conversation,
certainly about the Epstein files, the Epstein case, and we
have no shortage Clay of talkbacks, emails, etc. On that,
so we might get into some of this, and also
(01:17):
the New York City Mayor's race. This guy, Mom Donnie
is really bad news. I spoke to a friend down
here who is a realtor. Everyone in Miami has a
friend who's a realtor, because everybody's a realtor and already
getting calls though about people from New York who want
to become my neighbors. Jump on in the water is
(01:38):
literally warm here the beach. It's lovely. I highly recommend it,
So go go consider that one. Oh and Michelle Obama.
The more she speaks on this podcast, the more I
just want to look at all of you out there,
including you, mister Clay, who Michelle Obama's going to run.
If Michelle Obama had run, everybody would have seen what
(02:01):
I knew along, which is she is not a person
that people would want to vote for. I'll just say this,
the more you know about Michelle Obama, the less you
like Michelle Obama as a public figure. Yes, sir, I
could say. Clay's already ready to throw down on it.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I actually feel sad and sorry for Barack Obama every
time one of her new podcasts comes out, because she
sounds like an awful person to live with and the
entire podcast. First of all, it's very strange she's doing
a podcast with her brother. Weirdly, and look, I hope
(02:39):
everybody has really good, you know, relationships with your siblings,
but the duo of them is very awkward. He's kind
of sitting there. I was watching clips God Forbid this morning,
and he's sitting there, and she's interviewing Julia Louis Dreyfus,
and they're both Elaine from Seinfeld, Selena mya are from Veep.
(03:01):
I mean, she's a very talented comedic actor. She's very funny.
But they're both whining about how hard life is in
America for women. And I think that Julie Lwee Dreyfus
is the daughter of a billionaire and has made hundreds
of millions of dollars as a comedic actress. I don't
think that her life is particularly challenging. I'm sorry. And
(03:24):
I don't think that Michelle Obama's life is very challenging
at all. In fact, I think they actually represent what
incredible accomplishments are possible for people in American life, who
who are able to such an unbelievable success.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'll tell you this, I've come across this. You know
now that I have some gray in my beard, and
I'm coming upon my I'm in my fifth decade on
this earth. One thing that I've seen, Clay is people
who have been given a tremendous amount and have not
had to earn very much tend to be a really
toxic combination of incredibly arrogant and incredibly insecure. And you
(04:03):
see that with a lot of celebrities. You see that
with a lot of people who have either been handed
things because of who their parents are, or perhaps they
were able to maneuver within the system without ever really
feeling like they earned earned it. You know, they pulled
in Elizabeth Warren, if you will, have somehow managed to
just get and they know, deep down somewhere they didn't
(04:28):
get where they are because of how talented or how
hard working, whatever it may be. So that creates a bitterness.
Maybe it's a subconscious bitterness. But one thing that is
a defining characteristic of Michelle Obama's content recently is there
is just a seething bitterness that comes across all the time,
which you would just say, Wow, how much more of
(04:50):
a charmed life really could you lead than to be
the former first Lady worth one hundred million plus? All
this stuff, all the celebrities kissing up to you and
everything all the time. But like I said, I think
that she's lacking at some level in the self confidence
that comes from earning things. People know the difference between
being handed something and earning something.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And also even the decision to do a podcast seems
strange to me. And and what I mean by that
is for better or worse. I think you reveal yourself
in audio over time, and even if they're editing that,
and even if they're adjusting that, there is a schedule
and a regularity to it. And she was very protected
(05:35):
in the media. Almost nobody said anything negative about her
at all because she really didn't speak out publicly that often.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I think if you had said, Clay during the Obama administration,
what you said on this show on the air about
Michelle Obama being a brat, ye bitch, I mean yeah,
but I think that I think that there would have
been in a that like Mediaite and Media Matters would
(06:05):
have had an absolute meltdown and been demanding that you
know you you are canceled and all these things. Yeah,
you may be right, but I mean I think again
when you react to what she says, she is an
entitled bitchy brat is what she comes across on that podcast.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
As Now, you can disagree. You can call me an
entitled bitchy brat if you want, that's fine. But when
you listen to her, the difference between what she had
a public persona of and what the reality of her
is is so seismic that I think it shows you
how protected she had to be in larger media ecosystem.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Let's tie this all together. Oh, you mean that the
media was all in lockstep trying to tell us how amazing,
how brilliant, how they would routinely say the most beautiful
first lady. You know, on the matter of physical beauty,
which is a very subjective category, right, the most beautiful,
beautiful first lady, the most brilliant, for the wonderful, is
(07:09):
fair to say Milania Trump is objectively the most beautiful
first lady that has ever.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I mean, she was a supermodel. I mean, I don't
even know how you would are been a.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Lot of nice looking first ladies, but yeah, Malania Trump
was a person.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Of them living supermodels before they became I mean, objectively,
people are gonna yell at you and say she wasn't
a supermodel, but she was a successful international model. So
and and I guess the question is, what is the
official definition of supermodel? If you can make a living
off being beautiful by having your photo taken, which to
my knowledge, no other first lady ever has. I think objectively,
(07:41):
you would have to say she is the most beautiful
first lady there has ever been. Yet she doesn't get
on Vogue, and Joe Biden's on Vogue like three different times. Right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
What I was going to say to tithes together, though,
is they created an entirely false perception of Michelle Obama,
almost like they were able to create an entirely false
perception that Joe Biden didn't have dementia, or at least
they pretended that that perception was something they bought into.
All Right, I was going to talk about how a
judge in New Hampshire has certified a class action to
stop Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. We'll have to
(08:14):
get to that in a minute, because you know what
we went down. We went down this pathway, So let's
finish it off here to start, Michelle Obama Juliet Louis
Dreyfus on the podcast How Difficult It Is to Be
a Woman in America Play twenty four women.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
We have so many landmines and barriers and don'ts and limitations.
It's you know, I mean, Craig, you're the guy at
the table. But I think it's important for all guys listening,
especially men raising daughters, to realize that difference, you know,
(08:52):
and that thing that inadvertently, as you were loving and
raising these beautiful girls, there are so many rules make
us small baked.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
In without our knowing it, you know, yes, And I
wish I could. I mean, well, you know, I remember
people saying, well, well, she's a female doctor, as opposed
to just she's a doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Clay, who's she talking about?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
The end? But how about poor Craig sitting there, I mean,
like he's like, this is the most miserable conversation I've
ever had to be involved in. Did you just hear
him say there.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Like he's whiny feminism, which really all postmodernist feminism or whatever,
all left wing feminism is whiny and inherently kind of
tragic and soul crushing when taken to its logical streams.
First guys can sit around here too and just complain
endlessly about how many you know your life, my life.
(09:50):
Every guy listening to this we could sit here, we
could do a whole podcast shows whatever on all the
doors slammed in our faces, all the people telling us
that we're not good enough, all the disappointments we've had.
You know, that's life. Yeah, it's life. If you want
to be competing for anything, is that you're going to
have constant disappointments. You're gonna have constant people a lot
of things. You want to talk about things being rigged
(10:12):
against you? How about being a non legacy, non recruited athlete,
white guy trying to get into an elite college from
about nineteen eighty until a year ago. How about things
being I know.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
People say, oh, it's just so hard your.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Crime, Well really, because the system actually was rigged against
those people, and against Asians too. Asians were also rigged
in that system, but rigged against I.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Just I look at it and I think to myself,
she has had one of the most improbable journeys in
the history of America, she and her husband, and to me,
gratitude is the most powerful of all emotions. And she
(10:56):
seems this is why I said, she's kind of a whiny,
entitled braddy bitch. She seems to have no gratitude for
the incredible good fortune that she has had in this country.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I also think that what we have seen, and this
ties into where the Democrat Party is right now. The
Obama brand political brand is also not some But there
was always this belief for the four years of Biden. Oh,
you know, just wait until like Obama opens up the
(11:31):
you know, the arsenal of obama Ism, and all of
a sudden it's going No. Actually, Obama egregiously lied about Trump,
as we all know, right before the twenty twenty four election,
to the point where even Joe Rogan came out and said,
I mean, he's just lie, He's just a liar when
it really counts. And I think people have realized, well
(11:52):
more people have realized that the signature, so called achievement
of Obama's eight years was this healthcare law that was
supposed to bring down costs, and it has completely failed.
It is an abject failure. And Michelle Obama is not
a likable person. So when you add these things together,
the Democrats have lost the Clinton brand, the Biden brand,
(12:13):
and the Obama brand, all at the same time, and
all at a time when the Republican Party has never
been more unified behind a brand, and that is Donald Trump's.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Also remember the clip where she was like, I won't
even let my people pack my dresses, Like I just
I can't get over that. I don't know how many
women out there listen to us right now have a
team that packs their dresses when they go on vacation. Like,
what a weird thing to say on your podcast. And
by the way, something to think about is we go
(12:43):
to break Whatever you think about Bill Clinton and Barack Obama,
does listening to their wives speak actually make you like
them more because they have to put up with Hillary
Clinton and Michelle Obama.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
You're being You're reading far too charitable.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I think I argue that Barack Obama and Bill Clinton
are actually face to face likable people. I don't know
that Hillary Clinton and they can play the game. They
can play the game. I don't have any sympathy for
either of those guys.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
I do.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I do have a they have to live with that,
they have to sleep in it. I get it, But literally,
I don't know. Maybe as a married man, I'm just
too sympathetic. It's my thing, you know, too much empathy.
That's what people say about me all the time. Every

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We're talking off air
about the protection of Michelle Obama, and I do think
this is going to be one of the lessons of Trump.
I think Trump has a steel spine and maybe he
understands innately media better and saw through the BS earlier
(15:19):
than a lot of other people did. Because Buck was saying, Hey,
you know, if you had said I think there's probably
maybe some truth to it, you know, a decade ago, Hey,
I think Michelle Obama is an entitled, spoiled brat bitch,
people would have been like, oh my god, we've got
to cancel this guy. That's not an opinion you can
actually have. And I think one of the real lessons
(15:41):
of Trump that other people are learning. And I had
to learn it because people came and tried to cancel
me all the time. For years is you cannot slow
down when you share an opinion and tiptoe up to it.
And the analogy that I always had was, if you're
an athlete in football, the best thing that somebody can
say about you is you play downhill on defense like
(16:04):
you would see a play, you diagnose it, and you
just go balls to the wall and try to wreck
the opposition. If you tiptoe up, you get beat. You
cannot win going half speed. And I think Trump has
recognized with what I would say is Trump speed. Hey,
I'm not going to be perfect in everything, but I'm
going to go with such speed in mostly the right
(16:25):
direction that people are going to fall off of me,
and ultimately we're going to move the country in a
better direction. I think that should be a lesson for
everybody out there in larger public sphere. If you have
a take, own it, go full speed through it. It's
when you tiptoe or apologize that you get wrecked. And
I think there's a football analogy there, and I think
a lot of guys out there who were linebackers or
(16:47):
safeties that played downhill to attack. That's the way you
have to live. So there's a little bit of a
Ted talk for everybody today that that was inspiring stuff. Well,
I'm filled with gratitude. I'd Mike Michelle Obama who he
wants to win. And every day I wake up and
I'm like man on another another awesome day. I feeling
so much joy.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
One of the most important things I think people find
as they get older is surrounding yourself with people who
choose to be positive day in and day out. Is
one of the best ways to improve your life in
the day to day and to limit to the greatest
extent possible people who choose to be negative and complain
all the time, because you can always find things to
(17:28):
There's endless things to complain about.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Everyone can find them. Great phrase on that energy vampires.
They suck all of the good energy. There's tons of them.
Everybody's got them in their lives their circles. To the
extent that you can eliminate energy vampires. They just come
and they feast and they take everything good and they
devour it. It really is a huge portion of the population. Unfortunately,
(17:52):
we try to give the opposite of energy vampire. What
would be the blood transfusers here Siren sounded across Israel
and jury early this morning, as the IDF detected a
missile launch from Yemen. Rarely a day now that goes
by in Israel, where everybody doesn't have to rush to
bomb shelters here in the US. Hard to imagine. I
saw it for myself over there. The prevalence of bombshelter
(18:15):
staggered me. That people have to be able to run
into This is part of what the IFCJ does. They
build bomb shelters, They help to provide protection for critical
aid and emergency first responders, and they help to feed
the sick, the elderly, children, families. The IFCJ is there
in Israel, working tirelessly. Now's the time to stand with Israel.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Klee, Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Let's give you a little roadmap but where we're going
today on the show, we have the third hour stacked
with some great guests. Texas Senator John Cornyn will be
with us in the third hour at the top talking
about the terrible floods in Texas. What's been done to
try to, you know, deal with that situation. Also on
(19:18):
the attacks on the immigration and customs enforcement agents, which
I still think have gotten nowhere near the focus and
attention nationally that they should have, because it's part of
a broader theme, which is that which we're about to
dive into, which is Democrats deciding that they're turning on
anybody who's enforcing immigration law. I mean, I mean really
(19:40):
turning on them, acting like they are the forces of darkness,
Hitler whatever, right, the Stasi. They usually don't say Stazzi
because how many leftists even really know about the East
German secret police? Very few?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Like this was the problem with oligarchy, like nobody knows
what an oligarchy is.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I think you mean oligauky, yes, And see Bernie would
just say that because it sounded fancy, and we don't
like the fancy people, you know, Bernie.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Bernie said this, all right, So we got back people
understood racist and white supremacist. When they started moving down
to fascist and oligarch that was a sign that their
hits weren't landing anymore. But they went to less well
understood attacks that even were less effective.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Remember when the religion of the left was all focused
on intersectionality, that was the key term. If you use
the phrase unless you were attacking it. But if you
use the phrase intersectionality without criticism or irony, it was
it was like a decoder ring, like you're a leftist,
like you're part of the I think they got away
(20:45):
from it because nobody knows. But how that is even
the people saying it don't even really know what it is.
A society where everybody's in a tier of oppression against
other people, but then aren't you one of the bad people?
Depending The whole thing makes no sense, right, So they
had to get away from that. They're constantly changing their language. Clay,
(21:05):
when I got into this business, I love saying it
fifteen years ago. It's been a long time. Progressive was
the term that democrats love to use. You don't hear
the term progressive really anymore. They love. What happened was
people saw the fruits of progressivism, and then they had
to It's like a restaurant that fails and has to
change its name as something else, you know, or they
(21:25):
have to bring it back in the same location and
change the name or a business that does that, like
they're just rebranding. They're not. Nothing has actually changed anyway.
We've got John Corny and Senator corn will be with
us in the third hour. Also Congressman from Ohio Jim
Jordan on name and likeness, something that has been keeping
me up late at night. I am super deep on
(21:47):
this issue college athletes getting paid money, NCAA rules commissioners
conferences that I've never heard of before. Clay, You're gonna
have to guide us a little bit more on that.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
One did wed. By the way, let me ask Greg, Greg,
do we have the Jeopardy question that I was going
to play for Buck? We have two different Jeopardy They
had a sports category on Jeopardy last night, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Know if you've seen communists, like I know sports. I
just don't watch a lot of come I want to see.
I want to see if you're going to get these
Jeopardy questions. So we're gonna for those of you out there,
don't tip bydy. We have not coordinated this in advance.
This is true. The team can voucher this. I have
no idea what Clay's talking about with these Jeopardy questions.
I do think you and I, if we could do duo,
(22:32):
I think we would do really well in news media
news media Jeopardy. I think it would be like you'd
have to there's a very small group of people out
left or right that I think would be able to tagle.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I agree if we had like quiz Bowl duo, you
and I would win Media Quiz Bowl duo have I've
always wanted to beyond Celebrity Jeopardy. I don't know that
I'm famous enough to be on, but I see a
lot of people that don't seem that famous on. And
we'll get to this clip, but wolf Blitzer went on
in two thousand and nine. I had never seen this.
Did you know this? He finished negative five thousand, Yeah,
(23:07):
five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
He doesn't clay. It all makes so much sense. That's
why he's a perfect CNN anchor. He looks the part
and is utterly brainless and will do whatever he is told.
He's the perfect CNN anchor.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Andy Richter wiped the floor with him, like Conan's like
comedic psychekick. But sorry, I got us fired up here
about the Celebrity Jeopardy in Quiz Bowl competitions, But you
wanted to play this.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Well, Yeah, on immigration, I think this is I think
this is a very big deal. I mean the central,
the central effort of the Trump administration. You're already seeing
the stuff happening with the economy, You're already seeing the growth,
the markets, all these things going in the right direction.
Energy policy is what it needs to be, and they're
seeing a lot of really, but to me, that's like
(23:57):
Trump table stakes, the place things really have to get done.
Seismic Chaine. Seismic shift is on immigration and the deep
and massive deportations. I mean, really turning back millions of
people who came in illegally, particularly under Biden. I think
that's really where you start. I have seen the report,
do we I think we have that in there somewhere,
(24:19):
the reports that there may be people pressuring Trump for
an amnesty and that is a total no go. I
think that is a and that would be disastrous. So
I don't he hasn't done that. I'm just saying I've
seen the reporting on this.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yeah. And also he said to be fair, like he doesn't. Eed.
Trump said publicly like I've seen these reports, like who
are they even talking about asking for amnesty? That's not
going to happen. It seems like that rumor got out there,
and even Trump himself was kind of taking a step
back and saying, where is this coming from?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And I think sometimes people also they they think that
Trump has had a little bit of a a little
bit of a I have a rough patch here with
his base over the Epstein situation, and so they want
to add fuel to that fiber, saying, oh, and now
he's going to give millions of farm workers amnesty. I
just I don't see that happening. And I'll just tell
(25:13):
you in advance. I totally think Trump is doing a
great job. I have voted for Trump three times all
that stuff. Yes, yes, yes, I will not support an
amnesty for farm workers or anybody who's here illegally. That's
not no no, that's a no go. Cannot do. But
I don't think anyway. I don't want to waste our
time in it because I don't believe that Trump is
going to do that. So let's not get into it.
(25:34):
But I've seen the reporting, so just to say we're
aware of that here, we're not, you know, we're not
blind to what's being said about this possibility. Now back
to ice officers, though, because I think this is really
insidious when you because it's Democrat members of Congress. It's
not just the left and Antifa and these maniacs online.
(25:56):
Democrat members of Congress keep saying, Clay, if you're the
good guys, you won't be covering your faces when you're
doing these jobs, because now you have ice officers who
are who are? And I see here and I go, Okay,
that's interesting to me, because undercover police officers don't. Only
it's not just that they obscure their identity. They take
on fake identities entirely. Right, members of the special operations community,
(26:21):
you see a lot of these guys still want to
obscure their They don't want any photos of them online.
They want to obscure their faces. Certainly active duty, but
even some former just don't don't want their So now
it's if you're doing a job and you don't want
the entire public to know who you are, you're the
bad guy. Steven Miller's having none of this. Play seven.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
They are fighting.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
They are battling every single day on the street. The
most violent, evil, ruthless criminal organizations.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
On the face of planet Earth.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Organizations who stock and trade is rape and murder. ICE
officers are not only heroes, but they're among the bravest
Americans among us.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Every day they go.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Out onto the knowing they face the threat of murder,
knowing they face the threat of docsing, knowing the hateful
smears against them and their family, the risk to their
lives and their liberty, and yet they continue to press
forward to do what to save this country. Every American
should be endlessly grateful to the men and women of
ICE for what they are doing, of what President Trump
(27:19):
is doing to liberate America.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
This is critical. We need to be supporting our immigrations
and Customs enforcement officers and the efforts that are underway
here and not allow there to be any break in
that support Clay because of what people mayors places like
LA and various members of Congress are saying to undermine
(27:46):
them and really make them fearful. We just had a
nice officer shot in the neck. We had a mass
assassination attempt of federal officers. I mean eleven people I
believe now are in custody for attempted murder of a
federal officer Clay in just the last few days. Democrats
take no take no uh moment of pause from the
rhetoric that they use about these individuals. They're they're saying
(28:07):
that they're uh, they're engaged in evil activity by enforcing
US law. And I think that that needs to be
called out for the undermining and destructive rhetoric that it is.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Right. I think that's a hun. I think that's a
hundred yes. I I signed on one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Was like good heavens, that mono was fantastic. I signed
on one hundred percent to it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
And I do think we are correct that the arrest
I mean, think about the amount this would be a
Sometimes I wish that I just employed people who could
study full time media coverage and how it impacts the
way that people respond. Think about the percentage of coverage
that we saw for the arrests of the ICE agents.
(28:51):
And we're going to talk with Senator Cornyn about this.
In Texas, that story was it eleven total people for
an arrest for trying to ambush an ICE facility. Think
about the percentage of that story and how many people
even saw it compared to Gretchen Whitmer. The Gretchen Whitnemer
(29:11):
kidnap story was everywhere and eventually some of those guys
even were found not guilty because it appears that that
was largely their defense was anyway, that that was largely
an entrapment situation. In other words, there were federal agents
who were trying to encourage that behavior and they and
(29:32):
the defense was that they had been entrapped engaging in
that conspiracy. That's the Gretchen Whitmer story. Think about how
much we saw of that story and compare it with
how much we've seen from what appears to have been
at least so far, a non governmental involved at all
attempted ambush of an ICE facility in Texas to kill
(29:54):
ICE agents. To me, there should be some mutuality or
equal eq quality of story coverage. They're both hugely impactful
if true. The one in Texas, I bet got one
percent of the story overall of Gretchen Whitmer. And we've
said this before, but I still remain and believe that
(30:14):
it's true. The power of the media largely is in
choosing what they choose to cover. That is the power,
That is the bias, That is where the real power
comes from. There are thousands of stories every day that
could or could not be covered. The choice of the
legacy media to cover some stories and make them unbelievably
(30:36):
huge versus others that they completely ignore is where you
can truly see them trying to shift the parameters of
public opinion and public debate.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
We'll take some of your calls here and also get
some of your talkbacks, even some of your salty ones,
some of your little salty out there. The Preborn network
of clinics is doing amazing work day in and day out,
and I really hope you'll consider supporting them. I support them,
and if your pro life, you want to save lives today,
changing minds, changing hearts, changing legislation, that takes a long time.
(31:07):
The overturning of Roe v. Wade did not get rid
of abortion in this country. In fact, tragically there's more
abortions now, and so we need to be saving little
babies as fast as we can in as many places
as we can. And the best way to do that
is what Preborn is doing. Because they're offering moms who
are in a crisis pregnancy, moms who are often getting
pressure to have an abortion, being told oh you don't
have to go through with this, they offer them love
(31:29):
and support and that incredible introduction via ultrasound to the
little baby that's growing inside their womb. Because once that
free ultrasound happens, once they welcome them into the welcome
mom into the preborn clinic, it's so much easier to
have her see the life growing inside her is precious
and that's a little boy or girl, and it's a
(31:51):
beautiful mission they're doing. They rely entirely on you, entirely
on you. Not a dollar of government funding goes to Preborn,
So it's up to a yes. Can you consider please
a donation Today They've saved three hundred and fifty thousand
babies through this process that I just ascribed to you
over over twenty years time. All you have to do
to donate securely is from your phone dial pound two
(32:14):
five zero and say the keyword baby. That's pound two
five zero, say baby. Or visit preborn dot com slash
buck that's preborn dot com, slash b U c K
sponsored by Preborn.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Sometimes all you can do is laugh.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
And they do a lot of it with the Sunday
Hang Join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up
in the Clay and Buck podcast feed, on the iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Superman movie fans are mad at me for my take
on the Superman movie, and I can't believe this is real.
But I'm gonna read to you some of the unbelievable
emails that I am being deluged with, and I promise
you that some of you are not gonna be able
to I'm gonna have to be really careful to edit
(33:04):
some of the things that are being said to me.
But I never expected that I was just gonna be
in a Superman movie fan like I'm the Antichrist according
to the Superman movie people right now, so trust me.
Top of next hour, we're gonna have some fun with this.
But on the clock right now, Buck Sexton. Sports Jeopardy
(33:26):
was a category last night. First of all, before we
get to Buck, can we play the flashback of Wolf
Blitzer loose on Celebrity Jeopardy, losing nearly five thousand dollars?
Here I A maze more on Twitter shared this with me.
I had not seen it. This is from two thousand
and nine CNN's Wolf Blitzer gets destroyed, not on Real Jeopardy,
(33:49):
on Celebrity Jeopardy cut twenty nine.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
The name of this pasta similar to penny means little
mustaches doesn't sound so tasty, now.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Wolf, what is Feccini?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
No?
Speaker 7 (34:02):
King David and Jesus both hailed from this town.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Wolf.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
What is Jerusalem an accused person in courts along.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
With his council, but as a defender.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
From a larger work well canodated.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
No, add one of this five letter word that refers
to an economic crash and the fear driven rush to sell.
What is a crash? Nope? Wolf, things have not worked
out as well as you would hope for.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I'm sure you needn't make final Jeopardy because they're playing
for charity. Buck, you have to be positive. You have
to have positive dollars to be able to make it Jeopardy.
He lost almost five thousand dollars on Jeopardy, which is
really hard to do.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
So we have we have Jeopardy sports questions. He's gonna play,
thinks he's gonna light me up here, I give you
my word. I have not we did not coordinate this,
and I have not seen or heard these before.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
So all right, here is cut twenty seven, a Jeopardy
NFL question for Buck. Play it number of points a
team gets for a safety in the.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
NFL safety in the NFL Buck two. I played Madden
for years in college. Okay, all right, okay.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Here were the Jeopardy answers last night, twenty seven A play.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
It, Scott, what is three? Sorry? No, ro what is one?
Also incorrect? Sarah?
Speaker 3 (35:27):
What is tim?
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Right in the middle, It's two points for a safety.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
So the girl finally gets it right. So the two
guys go zero for one to two, and I would
bet they both Wait.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You're not gonna ask me a WNBA question? This is harsh?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Is this? Honestly? This would have been I this was
the thousand dollars question? So, uh, there was a WNBA question.
Here it is cut twenty eight.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
This Yukon star had an intense spring in twenty twenty five,
playing on her first.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
National championship team.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
And being picked first in the WNBA draft.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Kaitlyn Clark, that's a good guess, and in fact, you
and Rahul would have been in cahoots. Here cut twenty
eight A. Here was Rahul's answer, who is Kitlin Clark?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
No, Carter Sack, that's nobody there.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Paige Becker's I now could offer me.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
A million dollars. I wouldn't get that one.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
To be fair, I don't think you would have guessed
Kaitlyn Clark because they do have the picture up. So
if you were on Jeopardy like this, this player is
blonde and Kaitlyn Clark is brown haired, so I think
you would have Probably that's a tough one. That was
the thousand dollars question, but you did get the safety right,
all right. When we come back, Superman is coming out.
(36:46):
The director said, it's intensely political. The Superman Army is
furious with me.
