The hour opens with analysis of former President Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East, including his visit with U.S. troops in Qatar and ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent a nuclear Iran without engaging in war. The hosts highlight the potential for Trump to achieve peace in the region, even speculating on his worthiness for a Nobel Peace Prize—despite media resistance.
A major focus of this hour is the explosive revelations surrounding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Clay and Buck dissect new reports suggesting Biden frequently forgot the names of his top advisors, including long-time aides like Jake Sullivan and Kate Bedingfield. They argue that this is not a recent development, but a long-standing issue that was deliberately concealed by the media and Democratic leadership. The hosts call it a “vast left-wing conspiracy” to hide Biden’s mental and physical health from the American public, comparing it to the media’s treatment of January 6 and demanding congressional hearings to investigate the cover-up.
The discussion also touches on the implications of the 25th Amendment, questioning why it was never invoked despite clear signs of presidential incapacity. Clay and Buck criticize the mainstream media, particularly CNN and MSNBC, for their complicity and dishonesty, asserting that many journalists knowingly misled the public. They also question the role of Vice President Kamala Harris and First Lady Jill Biden in perpetuating the alleged deception.
In addition to political commentary, the hosts briefly address economic trends, noting the stock market’s recovery and falling gas prices—developments they claim are being ignored by left-leaning media outlets. They also tease breaking news about Rep. Jim Jordan’s investigation into Pfizer allegedly delaying COVID-19 vaccine trial results to influence the 2020 election, further fueling claims of widespread institutional manipulation.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Thursday edition of the Clay Travis en Buck Sexton Show
kicks off right now, and we have so much to
discuss with you, as is always the case here, we've
got the Trump trip to the Middle East. He spoke
to US troops and cutter and talking about what we're
doing for the military these days. More on the border,
(00:23):
more on what's going on with the Trump administration's efforts
to secure the border, and that includes interior enforcement of
our laws. The left is still very upset about the
South African refugees, which is not a surprise, but remember
fifty of them. There's fifty. It's really just, if nothing else,
(00:48):
they find it so outrageous and insulting. And it goes
to some broader and very important arguments that everybody should
be aware of, which is that Democrats have been trained
to believe that you cannot be white and be oppressed anywhere.
That's a remarkable position, but that really is in fact
their position. White people are not oppressed anywhere in the world,
that is not a possibility. They generally believe that about
(01:10):
Christians too, you know, even in places like Pakistan or
it doesn't matter. Christians can't be oppressed, Saudi Arabia Christians
are depressed. You know, it's all fine. So we'll discuss
some of those details.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
With you know.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I find that to be a very important, important case study.
We've also got. I listened all morning, Clay, and it
was very uh. I was I was in charge of
the baby for a while, so I was taking care
of baby, listening Supreme Court arguments, trying to stay in
the zone, you know, make sure baby's good, make sure
I'm here in all the process and all the back
(01:43):
and forth over the Supreme Court. And it's about the
birthright Citizenship Executive Order. Clay, you and I actually talk
about this a little bit. I'll tell you what I heard,
what I picked up, and then you could tell me,
you know, where you think this is all going and
what's really happening here. It's a lot of process talk
on a huge case that if it goes against the
Trump administration eventually. Today was really just on the injunction
(02:07):
what should happen Now, it's not a final or it's
not a final decision by any means. They haven't even
heard the merits of the case. But this case State
of New Jersey coming forward to say, well, we are
so harmed and this is so obviously outrageous that you
have to do things right now to stop this before
(02:27):
you even hear the merits and it gets to universal injunctions,
a lot of legally stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We'll talk about it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But wow, the Biden decline cover up is something that people,
I think are seeing now clear that we have more
and more details.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
About this that are coming out.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It's even I don't know if it's worse than we thought,
because we all knew and it was as bad as
I think it could have been, but it was as
bad as.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
We thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And I also think that they're realizing that they're going
to have to take their medicine on this. People are
not buying the arguments on it. We've got a whole
lot more information about like the incoherent mumblings of Biden,
all of this kind of stuff. What do you make
of this? Because it has really taken over the news cycle. Yes,
(03:15):
so today's revelations are so so let me take a
step back. It is Thursday, the book comes out on Tuesday.
It seems to me quite clear that they have decided, Hey,
we're going to have a new bad revelation every day
between now and publication day, and I sort of think
(03:38):
that there must be something truly explosive that they are
holding for Monday or Tuesday that's even worse than what
we've seen already. So just a refresher on what we've seen.
George Clooney says that Biden didn't recognize him. They debated
having to put him in a wheelchair. Today's revelations are
(04:00):
many of Biden's top advisors he couldn't remember their names.
This is pretty crazy stuff. I mean, even for us
to I thought, hey, you know, Biden's pretty bad. I
didn't think that he would be forgetting his top advisor's names.
(04:20):
And this is where I think it's even getting worse
than maybe anyone thought that it could be. Does that
make sense? So much of what you how you react
as expectations. If your kid, generally speaking, is a C
student and he gets a D, you might be like, ah, man,
(04:42):
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You could do better than that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
If you're a student gets a D, you're like, you're grounded.
What are you doing in your life?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You react differently based on what you expect from people,
And this is the story according to the New York Post.
Biden couldn't recall his top aides names when they were
in front of him. This is like, oh man, this
is staggering. Including Donolan, the guy who was his advisor
(05:16):
since the nineteen eighties. He forgot his name in twenty
nineteen during the twenty twenty presidential campaign. That's what's what's
so important here is I assumed Ni Claydon is before
you and I were teamed up on this show. I
had said on my show during the Democrat primary many
times on the air, it can't be Joe Biden. Guys,
(05:37):
he has clear dementia. Yeah, twenty nineteen, Okay, it was
obvious to anybody who was paying attention that he had
already declined substantially. What they're trying to pull now, I
think they're only a hope of escaping with any integrity
at all. This sort of journalistic blob in DC in
particular is oh, the decline so rapid, it happened so quickly,
(06:02):
he was fine until the election year or thereabouts. But
that's also not true. And we called him dementia Joe
for four years. I used to sit here, and you know,
in twenty twenty one, in twenty twenty two. I'd say, hey,
Joe Biden should be out somewhere sitting on a park
bench feeding the ducks, and yet he is commander in chief.
We all knew, we all said it, and now what
(06:25):
comes out is everything that we It's this is a
little bit like COVID deja vu for those of us
that are. Everything that we said, and every joke we
made and every snarky comment we dropped out of frustration
that there were so many lies is a one hundred
percent accurate. It was the absolute truth. Here are a
couple of details. Jake Sullivan was a long time Biden ade.
(06:49):
Multiple times in twenty twenty two in public, meaning a
lot of people knew, Joe Biden called him Steve. He
does kind of look like a Steve, you know, and
it is kind of funny and ridiculous, But this is
the President of the United States. I'm not great with names.
(07:09):
I screw up names all the time. I am not
name guy. Some of you maybe out there that I
have screwed up. I am not good with names. But
if you don't know your top advisor's names, he called
him Steve, beckoned for him to come over and Jake Sullivan,
who is out there publicly saying Biden as sharp as attack.
(07:32):
By the way, someone's gonna show up with a video
where Biden in the Oval is looking right at Jake Salivan.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
He's like, Sureley, I told you not to burn the
toast again. He's just this is gonna get really bad.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You imagine in that room he calls Steve, Steve, get
over here, and everybody's like looking around because there is
no Steve, and then he called him Steve again. He
also called his top assistant and current spokeswoman Kate Bettingfield
press like, these are people that are close to Biden, okay,
(08:07):
and this is where I come back. Sullivan, by the way,
started to work for Biden in twenty thirteen, so he
had been with him for a decade at that point.
Kate Bettingfield started with the vice president in twenty fifteen.
So we're talking about decade long relationships of people in
close proximity.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
D Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Of course these are the these are the top people
in the White House, Clay. Can you imagine, you know,
if Trump was in his first term, if he had
if he had like looked at Ivanka and called her
you know, uh, Cheryl or Susie or whatever. Right, yeah,
it would have been It would have been a huge
story and everybody would have been in, oh my gosh,
(08:47):
he's got the nuclear codes and what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And he's the commander in chief.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
These people all knew, they all knew what was going on,
and they hid this even though we all knew what
was going on. And what's amazing is that you still
had how many millions of people vote for Kabala and
think that this was all fine and this was a
better option than like, when you actually look at it,
is it. It is terrifying that so many Democrats were like,
(09:12):
you know what, it's okay, they tried the dementia puppet thing.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Let's go with Kamala now, like, well, this was this
is the biggest Is it the biggest political.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I mean, I got a thing now I'm like, hmm,
there's some Trump stuff with the prosecutions. This is in
some ways the most outrageous though, because it is such
an insult to our intelligence. They were insulting the intelligence
of the American people in a way that you never.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Really seen before.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
The insult that the insult now is the press trying
to cover up and say, how could we have possibly known?
And what the answer is? Somehow at least half of
America watch these videos. But it wasn't just that they
they knew that you were They knew, but so they
lied intentionally and attacked people like you and me. I mean,
their headlines still out there of us pointing out Biden's
(09:58):
physical and mental frailty. And you had guys like Scarborough.
I mean, sharp, you've known him for fifty years and
this is the best version of Biden.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I mean, this is like, this is where you really you're.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Is somewhat criminal, I think buck which I'd heard ver
many people talk about, but if you allow someone to
be in a position of power who has dementia, it
is I think criminal negligence on the part of the
advisors who have permitted this to occur. Well, what's the statue.
I mean, you got to tell me what crime. I
agree with you, it's it's a betrayal of the country.
It's reckless beyond words, but being dishonest morons. Unfortunately that
(10:35):
they've got to lock up a lot of DC If
that's well, when you go under oath, as many of
these people did, and say Biden is fine, he's sharp
as attack. I mean, there's pretty ample evidence now that
many of those people are saying that.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I mean, then if you're going to get people on perjury,
that's the statue. Yeah, if that's the case. I meant,
at a minimum, you could get them on perjury. But
I mean, this would be a great question for a
US attorney if if there is a conspiracy to cover
up the health of the President of the United States,
who is unable to do the job. And remember when
(11:09):
Hillary said there was a vast right wing conspiracy and
everybody kind of ridiculed it about Bill Clinton. I think
it is clear at this point that there was a
vast left wing conspiracy to conceal Joe Biden's dementia, and
there were many people who knew about this and chose
to lie publicly, sometimes under oath, about his fitness to
(11:33):
be president of the United States. I mean, the irony here,
Buck is all these people lectured us about being on
the right side of history, and I believe they engaged
in the most indefensible act in the White House that
any of us, buy and large have seen in any
of our lives. We could do a supercut of and
(11:54):
I mean some of these exact individuals that you're talking
about whose names were forgotten by and it's not you know,
when we're talking about Biden forgetting a name, it's not
you know, somebody saying something and then correcting himself a
second later. It's he probably had a conversation with the
person with that name, having no idea what the difference is.
Because he has dementia, okay, because his brain is not
(12:15):
functioning the way that it used to. And all of
these people, though Clay, were making the case when Trump
was in office that we should invoke the one that
his advisor should invote, the twenty fifth Amendent on Donald Trump.
They all know what the twenty fifth Amendment is. If
this was not the time to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment,
why do we have it? Why is it even on
(12:36):
the books. Is there a more clear cutcase in the
history of this country while that amendment has been in
force when it should have been used. No, And yet
they used it as a political weapon against Trump and
not as a tool to help the country and do
their duty by the American people.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
This is this is catastrophic, man.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I mean, the amount of of credibility and integrity and
decency that has been just lit on fire in front
of everybody, not just you and me, the right wingers.
Anybody with a brain who's paying attention knows this is
terrible what they tell you this. Sorry to cut you off, Buck,
but I'm the more I read about this, the more
(13:19):
fired up I get. We had congressional hearings about January sixth.
Why would Republicans not have hearings and an investigation into
Joe Biden's dementia and the cover up that Democrats provided
for it and call all of these people under oath
and make them testify about what they saw based on
some of the revelations that are coming out in this book.
(13:41):
Tell me why that wouldn't make sense. Yeah, makes sense
to me.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
We know some people.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Have you heard anybody suggest it? I haven't heard anybody
suggest it. But I mean, if you use jan sixth
as an argument, that's the worst day since the Civil War.
That's what Joe Biden. Kamala Harris tried to say. Where
does this rank covering up the president's dementia for years
in incredible danger that our country faced, not to mention
who was the actual president. Well, we also need to know,
(14:07):
and there have been people raising the issue of the
autopen and it's usage now, a lot of people use autopens.
It's not that there was an autopen used by a president,
and it's did the president actually know that his signature
was going on these things?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You know, if your wife says, sign my check and
she says, that's fine, it's not forgery, Like you're not
gonna get a double for it. Right if you're signing
checks and you're giving yourself money and people don't know,
and that's that's not okay.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And the same thing would apply to the press.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I mean, you're so right here, and I mean there
is significant examination, for instance, in contract rights, did someone
understand did they have the wherewithal to bind themselves or
a corporation to a contract based on their signature if
they were not of sound mind to be engaging in it.
In other words, if you are, and this is in
(14:58):
an insane asylum, you can't sign away the property value
of your house. You lack the functional ability to do that.
It sounds to be like Biden did for most of
his tenure. Companies rely on customer databases. For some businesses,
particularly online stores, it's their lifeline. They go to great
lengths to protect their customer's info, but cyber hackers go
to grant lengths too, and sometimes gain access through a
(15:21):
data breach. These cyber hackers want that data because they
can sell it quickly on the dark web to fellow
cyber thieves looking to exploit the online identities they obtain.
It's an example of how online identity theft happens and
how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives. It's
why you want to have a LifeLock membership to protect
yourself from online identity theft. LifeLock monitors millions of data
(15:41):
points a second for risks to your online identity, detects

I'm Fired Up, you guys can tell. Off air, Buck
and I are talking about Biden's medical conditions and everything else.
I think this question needs to be asked, and we
haven't had a significant examination of it before. The twenty
(16:44):
fifth Amendment exists almost exactly for this situation when the
president does not have the mental capacity to still be
president anymore. What happens when the staff all knows that's
the case and they hide him to try to prevent
that from becoming known publicly? What is their criminal charges?
(17:09):
Are their criminal charges that could be brought in that eventuality?
I don't know that we've ever really examined it. Second
to part of this, Buck and I were just talking
about it off air. What do you think Joe Biden's
medical history actually shows? What did the doctors actually know
about his medical condition? What did doctor Jill Biden actually
know about his medical condition. This was I mean, I
(17:32):
mean this is important and I think this is a
phrase that you guys should adopt. This was a vast
left wing conspiracy to lie about Joe Biden's cognition about
his mental and physical health. They all knew. Do not
allow the story to become they didn't know. We'll talk
about it when we come back. In the meantime, AI everywhere.

saying to us, make sure we focus on what Trump
(18:56):
is doing, and we will continue through that today.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
We try to do it every day.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The good news is he's just got so much going
that is in progress.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
We're updating you on it.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
In the Middle East and the deals he's trying to
accomplish there. We'll have more of the specifics when he
gets back. Obviously, while he's over there, some of these
things are still being negotiated. But we do know that
there is reporting that Iran wants a deal on the
nuclear program with Trump. Can Trump figure out something with
(19:27):
Iran that is Look, we want Iran not to have
nukes and we want to not have to go to
war or engage in an extended aerial campaign that could
lead into war against Iran. Right, we're trying to accomplish
both of those things if possible. That's what Trump is
trying to accomplish. No war in the Middle East, no
nuclear Iran. And be confident in that, be certain in that.
(19:50):
To agree, you can be certain in anything. And we'll
see if Trump is able to pull that off. It's
so funny, Clay, he may in fact be worth by
the end of this minist maybe by the end of
this year, the Nobel Peace Prize several times over.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
They will never give it to him, never ever.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Because that is just going right into the the heart
of the international elite. They will never give him the
Nobel Peace Prize, even though well that's why it's kind
of become a joke. But we are watching this closely.
You're also noticing we're not talking too much about the
economy this week. That's because, hey, how's your four to
one k looking Clay over there with his French cuff
(20:31):
shirts with the monograms and the stock ticker behind him.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I can just see it right now.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
We got to get like a separate set for you
on radio where Clay's like, all right, guys, we're talking stocks.
He said, don't sell if anything by it was good advice.
It was good advice, and I will tell you great advice.
I actually I did buy the dip and it was
a good move. Stocks are up for the year. That's
the thing you need to know. And you know things
(20:56):
have gotten a lot better because they don't put the
stock ticker up on CNN, they don't put the stock
ticker up on MSNBC. It is such a dishonest thing
that when the stocks were going down, that was the
lead story. Price of eggs. Let me hit you at
this buck. Price of gas. Nobody talking about it. Last night,
I went to an MLS game two dollars sixty five cents.
(21:21):
I drove past a Nashville area gas station two dollars
sixty five cents. It is continuing to come down even
as we typically gas prices go up in the summer.
People drive more, that's a general rule. It's down by
half compared to what it was in the summer of
twenty twenty two with Joe Biden virtually zero media discussion.
(21:42):
That's how most people recognize what the price of goods is.
That's the thing they see and just and see price
changing constantly. Gas prices four year lows, you know, And
part of this, I think is whether you're when you're
reporting on the news, you have to focus on what
is in important and you look for what is in
(22:02):
conflict in those important areas. Right, So the economy, should
we be spending more or how's the market going? Or
where's unemployment? And what can be done to change this?
And what are the policies. The opposition to Trump on
these things right now is so weak as to be
not even really worthy of time. That's just the truth
that they are not mounting any real arguments against it.
(22:24):
So we're updating you on what he's doing at some
level because that's the only show in town and it's
going well, right. I mean, if it was and when
things were rough, what do we say, Okay, the market's down,
it's going to be choppy, this is going to require
a reset. But we think he knows what he's doing.
Trust in this, and sure enough, here we are. So
I just give you all that because we're watching. Trust me.
All Clay and I do is read the news pretty
(22:46):
much all day long and set up stories to talk
about because I know there can be a little bit
of pushback on why are we talking about the Biden thing?
Because we're just finding out the full extent of how
dishonest and disgraceful it was. Yeah, and by the way,
to people out there who say, well, we know he
was bad, we know. Did you see what they did
on January sixth? They spent four years marinating in January sixth,
(23:11):
they had prime time hearings, they came out and told
all of us it was the worst day since the
Civil War. I would submit to you this is way worse.
And the media is going to cover it and the
Democrat brand. It's a big left wing conspiracy. If Republicans
do their job and they hold all these people's feet
(23:33):
to the fire, this will make January sixth look like
a random BLM riot, which is basically what it was.
And we saw hundreds of those. We've never remembered the
four in our lives. I remember this Tapper publicly, mister
Jake Tapper, who's co authored this book that is rightly
being Unfortunately, they're going to sell a ton of copies,
so it is a smart financial decision. But the premise
(23:55):
of it, which is we're the good guys for telling
you the truth now, is absurd and just just an
affront to our intelligence and to the dignity of public discourse. Uh,
but we we're watching all the But I do think
that building on what you just said is important and
why this is such a huge deal. They have to
(24:15):
cover it to make themselves cleansed from their complicity. There's
no way around this, that's right. That's why they want
control of the narrative to the greatest possible degree. And
you've almost started to see some of them maybe with
the beginnings of some contrition, insofar as they would rather
be thought dumb than dishonest. Just remember that they because
(24:37):
they know dishonesty means you're never listening to them again.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Dumb means uh.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Do better next time. That's what they're going for here.
But it actually was not that it was that they
were dishonest. They are clever, Tapa. I just wanted to
point out, and you can go go go check on
Twitter public. He was of the Oh you said that
people shouldn't attack cops on January sixth, and I mean
on the day and right after you're all complicit. You
get no credit for it. Everybody who was speaking out
(25:05):
against violence that day, you know your blood is on
your He was one of those guys. He was a
blood is on all your hands, guys. And as we know,
the only like substantial injury or rather the only fatal
injury was to a woman who was shot by a
police officer as Capitol copa the neck anyway, Ashley Babbitt,
which is still a stain on this country that that happened.
(25:27):
But okay, so here we are now, Clay and they're
going to have to try to explain this to their
own side. Wolf Blitzer, the most milk toast of the CNN, right,
I think I nailed that one, Thank you. I think
that they gave me perfectly information. Yes, the most milk
toast of the CNN anchor stable over there. He starts
(25:49):
with Hakeem Jeffries on, Okay, what did we know about
this decline? Let's walk through this together, friends. This just
happened in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Play too.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
President Biden didn't even recognize George Clooney at a fundraiser.
Why should voters trust Democrats when it's clear so many
in your party went to great lengths to keep Biden's
condition hidden hidden from the public.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I can't tell you what happened between George Clooney and
President Biden.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That wasn't at that event. What I can say is
that we're not looking back.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
We're going to continue to look forward because at this
moment we've got real problems that need to be addressed
on behalf of the American people, including the Republican effort
to snatch away healthcare, snatch away full assistance and hurt veterans.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
That's not going to work, the h the old Potomac pivot,
it's not it's not going to work.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
The uh. We're just looking forward now. No. Actually, this
is in many ways, Clay.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I think VIMA for the honor and integrity such as
it is of a political party in America, I've never
seen anything like this before. I've never seen anything that
is this because it wasn't and you know, I don't
want to get at all that January sixth was a
different thing. You know, there was a whole lot of
there was a lot of rigging that went on in
(27:04):
that election. There's a whole lot of reason for concern.
It was mostly it was a mostly peaceful protest. It
was mostly a protest and everything else. This was a
all the kings horses and all the King's men, multi
year conspiracy at the very top of the government day
in and day out. It wasn't a protest that got
(27:24):
too rowdy and that then was treated like it was,
you know, Pearl Harbor bombing.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
And I think we need to see this for what
it is.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, and that's why I think we need to have
prime time congressional hearings. I just I don't if Republicans
do not do this, they are incompetent, because one, it's
super important for the country. We can never have this
situation occur again. Say whatever you want about Barack Obama,
say whatever you want about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, George W.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Bush.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Did anybody doubt that they had the mental faculties to
make whatever choices they wanted to make?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Of course not.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I think Heck, I'd like to see Obama under oath.
Why did Obama not pick Joe Biden in twenty sixteen.
It's some real question that Biden has never really answered.
I think it's because they could see already that he
was in the early stages of dementia in twenty sixteen,
(28:26):
and that's why he went to Hillary. Think about that.
He didn't let his VP that was there for eight
years take over.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I know they tried to say, well, Joe you're just
not doing well enough because your son died. I'm sure
that was debilitating to Biden and probably did not help
his descent into dementia.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
But was the.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Death of his son partly what they used as a
cover to explain his descent into dementia.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Maybe it accelerated it.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
In twenty nineteen, he didn't recognize the guy who had
been his top advisor since the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And I hate to say this, but.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You all know how dementia works. Some days you can
have good days and you can think, hey, maybe it's
not so bad. I thought they this is where you
and I see this a little differently. I think they
thought they could thread the needle with a good day
on debate night. And I don't know how they thought that.
I don't know what the nap schedule was or whatever,
or the drugs that they were likely shooting him up with. Yeh,
(29:34):
right before he went out. And I you know, you
could look at his eyes. Remember us talking about how
he would wear the sunglasses. But if you zoomed in
on his eyes, the man looked hopped up on stuff
like crazy. When he was given some of these speeches,
Remember how angry he looked. Remember how I mean, I'm
(29:54):
there is zero doubt that they were shooting him up
like crazy. Remember when he finish fish the State of
the Union and he read go get him?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Do you remember that? And remember when he went.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
To Ukraine and at the end he had lived and
they were so angry at him about what he said
at the end, like we've got a tear down putin
or whatever it was. They the guy could barely read
off a prompter. But like an old ballplayer who's been
doing something for a long time, he could be as
good as he was for short periods of time, depending
(30:30):
on day and time.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm gonna tell you this right now.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
If it was really about what was good for the
country and going forward being more accurate and doing a
better job, where's your invitation, where's my invitation to go
on Morning Joe and explain why we strap the whole time? Yeah?
But when is the view going to say, Hey, Buck,
I want you to come on and just walk us
(30:52):
through why you and Clay they can have both of us.
It'd be fun. Why you and Clay were right about
this for years, to the point where it was almost
like the mockery felt hackneyed. After a while, it's like,
we've just done this joke day in and day out,
day in and day because we're left with no choice.
Why did you guys get it right? No, instead, we're
(31:13):
still some we were right, they were wrong, but somehow
they still feel morally superior in the situation. This is
what you have to remember about Democrats. It doesn't matter
that they look like absolute well liars and buffoons. It's
they did this to stop the bad team. The bad
people were the bad people. Nothing else matters, which is,
(31:34):
by the way, their entire ethos when it comes to
dealing with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
So is it.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Surprising Clay that they would do this given that they say.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I, you know, they have the on Laura Shaw last
night just to kind of laugh.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
They're these professors at Yale, as if that's supposed to
impress anybody, It should not impress anybody, These professors at
Yale who are leaving the country because they're experts in
fascism and they can't handle all the fascism that's going on.
So they're idiots and cowards because they're just abating their
country instead of standing in No surprise there right got
to go find a tenured position somewhere else. But at
(32:10):
what point do they just realize, you guys are wrong,
You're insane, grow up and calm down. By the way,
we got another bit of breaking news that's another conspiracy
theory I think that we've shared on this show that
now looks like it's true. Jim Jordan is investigating, and
it appears he has found smoking gun evidence that Pfizer
hid the results of their COVID shot to avoid it
(32:33):
coming out before the twenty twenty election. So, in addition
to all the other rig jobs that were going on,
the Wall Street Journal just published Lawmakers investigating whether Pfizer
waited to share results, and Jim Jordan just shared some
tweets and emails that suggest that Pfizer's top execs intentionally
(32:54):
prevented that from occurring, which obviously given how close that was,
And Jim Jordan now is going to come on the
show with us tomorrow to be talking about that buck.
So conspiracy theorists are on a hell of a run.
You know, They're like a baseball team that's going like
one hundred and sixty two. And oh, everything they told
you was a conspiracy. You wait a few months and
(33:15):
or in this case a few years and it ends
up being true. I want to remind you all about
the great work that's being done day in and day
out by Preborn, an incredible organization that has saved hundreds
of thousands, in fact, three hundred and fifty thousand babies
over the last two decades and counting. And they can
only do this because of donations from you, the pro
life community. I understand Roe v way is gone. I
(33:38):
understand you're voting your conscience and you're taking action and
the ballot box to protect life. But what are you
doing day in and day out. Yes, you have to
live your principles, your ideals, but there are organizations like
this that are on the front lines. Preborn is saving
babies right now, and they need your help. This is
where you can make a difference. Preborn starts this whole
(33:59):
process welcoming a pregnant mom into their facility and giving
a free ultrasound and letting that mom see the tiny
heartbeat the little baby growing inside her, and then talking
to her about the options for support and care and
love that you will receive if she chooses to give
this baby life. And this works so often, and they
only need twenty eight dollars per ultrasound. You know, we
(34:21):
had that wonderful Vip who wrote it and said that
for Mother's Day, her husband gave her a ten ultrasounds
gift essentially in her name to Preborn, So that was
two hundred and eighty dollars. Think about that, Ten little
babies that might be running around the world in the
next you know, the next year, and years and years
going forward because of that incredible gift to donate securely.
(34:44):
Dial pound two five zero 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. Sometimes all you can do is laugh,
and they do a lot of it with the Sunday
(35:05):
Hang Join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up
in the Klay and Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts, and make sure
that there isn't just some way for them to wriggle
off on this one. And for those of you out there, say, oh,
we all know a lot of people at seeing n
at MSNBC still don't know about exactly how much of
(35:27):
a lie they were told, and they've embarrassed. They've done
the one thing you don't want to do. They've embarrassed
the media because the media now looks really complicit because
they were. But now that Biden is gone, they have
to go after him. Here's a question, Buck, What in
Kamala harrisy do you really think the Vice President of
(35:51):
the United States, Given that there are reports Biden couldn't
remember the names of his advisors, didn't know that Joe
Biden's brain was gobblegook. Of course she knew. She covered
up too. She said she wouldn't even do anything different
even though there was a deminipation in the White House.
(36:13):
She needs to have her feet held to the fire too.
And don't even get me started on the evil that
is doctor Jill Biden. Imagine what she saw. We'll keep
diving in on this
Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Thursday edition of the Clay Travis en Buck Sexton Show
kicks off right now, and we have so much to
discuss with you, as is always the case here, we've
got the Trump trip to the Middle East. He spoke
to US troops and cutter and talking about what we're
doing for the military these days. More on the border,
(00:23):
more on what's going on with the Trump administration's efforts
to secure the border, and that includes interior enforcement of
our laws. The left is still very upset about the
South African refugees, which is not a surprise, but remember
fifty of them. There's fifty. It's really just, if nothing else,
(00:48):
they find it so outrageous and insulting. And it goes
to some broader and very important arguments that everybody should
be aware of, which is that Democrats have been trained
to believe that you cannot be white and be oppressed anywhere.
That's a remarkable position, but that really is in fact
their position. White people are not oppressed anywhere in the world,
that is not a possibility. They generally believe that about
(01:10):
Christians too, you know, even in places like Pakistan or
it doesn't matter. Christians can't be oppressed, Saudi Arabia Christians
are depressed. You know, it's all fine. So we'll discuss
some of those details.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
With you know.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I find that to be a very important, important case study.
We've also got. I listened all morning, Clay, and it
was very uh. I was I was in charge of
the baby for a while, so I was taking care
of baby, listening Supreme Court arguments, trying to stay in
the zone, you know, make sure baby's good, make sure
I'm here in all the process and all the back
(01:43):
and forth over the Supreme Court. And it's about the
birthright Citizenship Executive Order. Clay, you and I actually talk
about this a little bit. I'll tell you what I heard,
what I picked up, and then you could tell me,
you know, where you think this is all going and
what's really happening here. It's a lot of process talk
on a huge case that if it goes against the
Trump administration eventually. Today was really just on the injunction
(02:07):
what should happen Now, it's not a final or it's
not a final decision by any means. They haven't even
heard the merits of the case. But this case State
of New Jersey coming forward to say, well, we are
so harmed and this is so obviously outrageous that you
have to do things right now to stop this before
(02:27):
you even hear the merits and it gets to universal injunctions,
a lot of legally stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We'll talk about it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But wow, the Biden decline cover up is something that people,
I think are seeing now clear that we have more
and more details.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
About this that are coming out.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It's even I don't know if it's worse than we thought,
because we all knew and it was as bad as
I think it could have been, but it was as
bad as.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
We thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And I also think that they're realizing that they're going
to have to take their medicine on this. People are
not buying the arguments on it. We've got a whole
lot more information about like the incoherent mumblings of Biden,
all of this kind of stuff. What do you make
of this? Because it has really taken over the news cycle. Yes,
(03:15):
so today's revelations are so so let me take a
step back. It is Thursday, the book comes out on Tuesday.
It seems to me quite clear that they have decided, Hey,
we're going to have a new bad revelation every day
between now and publication day, and I sort of think
(03:38):
that there must be something truly explosive that they are
holding for Monday or Tuesday that's even worse than what
we've seen already. So just a refresher on what we've seen.
George Clooney says that Biden didn't recognize him. They debated
having to put him in a wheelchair. Today's revelations are
(04:00):
many of Biden's top advisors he couldn't remember their names.
This is pretty crazy stuff. I mean, even for us
to I thought, hey, you know, Biden's pretty bad. I
didn't think that he would be forgetting his top advisor's names.
(04:20):
And this is where I think it's even getting worse
than maybe anyone thought that it could be. Does that
make sense? So much of what you how you react
as expectations. If your kid, generally speaking, is a C
student and he gets a D, you might be like, ah, man,
(04:42):
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You could do better than that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
If you're a student gets a D, you're like, you're grounded.
What are you doing in your life?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You react differently based on what you expect from people,
And this is the story according to the New York Post.
Biden couldn't recall his top aides names when they were
in front of him. This is like, oh man, this
is staggering. Including Donolan, the guy who was his advisor
(05:16):
since the nineteen eighties. He forgot his name in twenty
nineteen during the twenty twenty presidential campaign. That's what's what's
so important here is I assumed Ni Claydon is before
you and I were teamed up on this show. I
had said on my show during the Democrat primary many
times on the air, it can't be Joe Biden. Guys,
(05:37):
he has clear dementia. Yeah, twenty nineteen, Okay, it was
obvious to anybody who was paying attention that he had
already declined substantially. What they're trying to pull now, I
think they're only a hope of escaping with any integrity
at all. This sort of journalistic blob in DC in
particular is oh, the decline so rapid, it happened so quickly,
(06:02):
he was fine until the election year or thereabouts. But
that's also not true. And we called him dementia Joe
for four years. I used to sit here, and you know,
in twenty twenty one, in twenty twenty two. I'd say, hey,
Joe Biden should be out somewhere sitting on a park
bench feeding the ducks, and yet he is commander in chief.
We all knew, we all said it, and now what
(06:25):
comes out is everything that we It's this is a
little bit like COVID deja vu for those of us
that are. Everything that we said, and every joke we
made and every snarky comment we dropped out of frustration
that there were so many lies is a one hundred
percent accurate. It was the absolute truth. Here are a
couple of details. Jake Sullivan was a long time Biden ade.
(06:49):
Multiple times in twenty twenty two in public, meaning a
lot of people knew, Joe Biden called him Steve. He
does kind of look like a Steve, you know, and
it is kind of funny and ridiculous, But this is
the President of the United States. I'm not great with names.
(07:09):
I screw up names all the time. I am not
name guy. Some of you maybe out there that I
have screwed up. I am not good with names. But
if you don't know your top advisor's names, he called
him Steve, beckoned for him to come over and Jake Sullivan,
who is out there publicly saying Biden as sharp as attack.
(07:32):
By the way, someone's gonna show up with a video
where Biden in the Oval is looking right at Jake Salivan.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
He's like, Sureley, I told you not to burn the
toast again. He's just this is gonna get really bad.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You imagine in that room he calls Steve, Steve, get
over here, and everybody's like looking around because there is
no Steve, and then he called him Steve again. He
also called his top assistant and current spokeswoman Kate Bettingfield
press like, these are people that are close to Biden, okay,
(08:07):
and this is where I come back. Sullivan, by the way,
started to work for Biden in twenty thirteen, so he
had been with him for a decade at that point.
Kate Bettingfield started with the vice president in twenty fifteen.
So we're talking about decade long relationships of people in
close proximity.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
D Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Of course these are the these are the top people
in the White House, Clay. Can you imagine, you know,
if Trump was in his first term, if he had
if he had like looked at Ivanka and called her
you know, uh, Cheryl or Susie or whatever. Right, yeah,
it would have been It would have been a huge
story and everybody would have been in, oh my gosh,
(08:47):
he's got the nuclear codes and what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And he's the commander in chief.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
These people all knew, they all knew what was going on,
and they hid this even though we all knew what
was going on. And what's amazing is that you still
had how many millions of people vote for Kabala and
think that this was all fine and this was a
better option than like, when you actually look at it,
is it. It is terrifying that so many Democrats were like,
(09:12):
you know what, it's okay, they tried the dementia puppet thing.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Let's go with Kamala now, like, well, this was this
is the biggest Is it the biggest political.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I mean, I got a thing now I'm like, hmm,
there's some Trump stuff with the prosecutions. This is in
some ways the most outrageous though, because it is such
an insult to our intelligence. They were insulting the intelligence
of the American people in a way that you never.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Really seen before.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
The insult that the insult now is the press trying
to cover up and say, how could we have possibly known?
And what the answer is? Somehow at least half of
America watch these videos. But it wasn't just that they
they knew that you were They knew, but so they
lied intentionally and attacked people like you and me. I mean,
their headlines still out there of us pointing out Biden's
(09:58):
physical and mental frailty. And you had guys like Scarborough.
I mean, sharp, you've known him for fifty years and
this is the best version of Biden.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I mean, this is like, this is where you really you're.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Is somewhat criminal, I think buck which I'd heard ver
many people talk about, but if you allow someone to
be in a position of power who has dementia, it
is I think criminal negligence on the part of the
advisors who have permitted this to occur. Well, what's the statue.
I mean, you got to tell me what crime. I
agree with you, it's it's a betrayal of the country.
It's reckless beyond words, but being dishonest morons. Unfortunately that
(10:35):
they've got to lock up a lot of DC If
that's well, when you go under oath, as many of
these people did, and say Biden is fine, he's sharp
as attack. I mean, there's pretty ample evidence now that
many of those people are saying that.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I mean, then if you're going to get people on perjury,
that's the statue. Yeah, if that's the case. I meant,
at a minimum, you could get them on perjury. But
I mean, this would be a great question for a
US attorney if if there is a conspiracy to cover
up the health of the President of the United States,
who is unable to do the job. And remember when
(11:09):
Hillary said there was a vast right wing conspiracy and
everybody kind of ridiculed it about Bill Clinton. I think
it is clear at this point that there was a
vast left wing conspiracy to conceal Joe Biden's dementia, and
there were many people who knew about this and chose
to lie publicly, sometimes under oath, about his fitness to
(11:33):
be president of the United States. I mean, the irony here,
Buck is all these people lectured us about being on
the right side of history, and I believe they engaged
in the most indefensible act in the White House that
any of us, buy and large have seen in any
of our lives. We could do a supercut of and
(11:54):
I mean some of these exact individuals that you're talking
about whose names were forgotten by and it's not you know,
when we're talking about Biden forgetting a name, it's not
you know, somebody saying something and then correcting himself a
second later. It's he probably had a conversation with the
person with that name, having no idea what the difference is.
Because he has dementia, okay, because his brain is not
(12:15):
functioning the way that it used to. And all of
these people, though Clay, were making the case when Trump
was in office that we should invoke the one that
his advisor should invote, the twenty fifth Amendent on Donald Trump.
They all know what the twenty fifth Amendment is. If
this was not the time to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment,
why do we have it? Why is it even on
(12:36):
the books. Is there a more clear cutcase in the
history of this country while that amendment has been in
force when it should have been used. No, And yet
they used it as a political weapon against Trump and
not as a tool to help the country and do
their duty by the American people.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
This is this is catastrophic, man.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I mean, the amount of of credibility and integrity and
decency that has been just lit on fire in front
of everybody, not just you and me, the right wingers.
Anybody with a brain who's paying attention knows this is
terrible what they tell you this. Sorry to cut you off, Buck,
but I'm the more I read about this, the more
(13:19):
fired up I get. We had congressional hearings about January sixth.
Why would Republicans not have hearings and an investigation into
Joe Biden's dementia and the cover up that Democrats provided
for it and call all of these people under oath
and make them testify about what they saw based on
some of the revelations that are coming out in this book.
(13:41):
Tell me why that wouldn't make sense. Yeah, makes sense
to me.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
We know some people.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Have you heard anybody suggest it? I haven't heard anybody
suggest it. But I mean, if you use jan sixth
as an argument, that's the worst day since the Civil War.
That's what Joe Biden. Kamala Harris tried to say. Where
does this rank covering up the president's dementia for years
in incredible danger that our country faced, not to mention
who was the actual president. Well, we also need to know,
(14:07):
and there have been people raising the issue of the
autopen and it's usage now, a lot of people use autopens.
It's not that there was an autopen used by a president,
and it's did the president actually know that his signature
was going on these things?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You know, if your wife says, sign my check and
she says, that's fine, it's not forgery, Like you're not
gonna get a double for it. Right if you're signing
checks and you're giving yourself money and people don't know,
and that's that's not okay.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And the same thing would apply to the press.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I mean, you're so right here, and I mean there
is significant examination, for instance, in contract rights, did someone
understand did they have the wherewithal to bind themselves or
a corporation to a contract based on their signature if
they were not of sound mind to be engaging in it.
In other words, if you are, and this is in
(14:58):
an insane asylum, you can't sign away the property value
of your house. You lack the functional ability to do that.
It sounds to be like Biden did for most of
his tenure. Companies rely on customer databases. For some businesses,
particularly online stores, it's their lifeline. They go to great
lengths to protect their customer's info, but cyber hackers go
to grant lengths too, and sometimes gain access through a
(15:21):
data breach. These cyber hackers want that data because they
can sell it quickly on the dark web to fellow
cyber thieves looking to exploit the online identities they obtain.
It's an example of how online identity theft happens and
how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives. It's
why you want to have a LifeLock membership to protect
yourself from online identity theft. LifeLock monitors millions of data

I'm Fired Up, you guys can tell. Off air, Buck
and I are talking about Biden's medical conditions and everything else.
I think this question needs to be asked, and we
haven't had a significant examination of it before. The twenty
(16:44):
fifth Amendment exists almost exactly for this situation when the
president does not have the mental capacity to still be
president anymore. What happens when the staff all knows that's
the case and they hide him to try to prevent
that from becoming known publicly? What is their criminal charges?
(17:09):
Are their criminal charges that could be brought in that eventuality?
I don't know that we've ever really examined it. Second
to part of this, Buck and I were just talking
about it off air. What do you think Joe Biden's
medical history actually shows? What did the doctors actually know
about his medical condition? What did doctor Jill Biden actually
know about his medical condition. This was I mean, I
(17:32):
mean this is important and I think this is a
phrase that you guys should adopt. This was a vast
left wing conspiracy to lie about Joe Biden's cognition about
his mental and physical health. They all knew. Do not
allow the story to become they didn't know. We'll talk
about it when we come back. In the meantime, AI everywhere.

saying to us, make sure we focus on what Trump
(18:56):
is doing, and we will continue through that today.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
We try to do it every day.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The good news is he's just got so much going
that is in progress.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
We're updating you on it.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
In the Middle East and the deals he's trying to
accomplish there. We'll have more of the specifics when he
gets back. Obviously, while he's over there, some of these
things are still being negotiated. But we do know that
there is reporting that Iran wants a deal on the
nuclear program with Trump. Can Trump figure out something with
(19:27):
Iran that is Look, we want Iran not to have
nukes and we want to not have to go to
war or engage in an extended aerial campaign that could
lead into war against Iran. Right, we're trying to accomplish
both of those things if possible. That's what Trump is
trying to accomplish. No war in the Middle East, no
nuclear Iran. And be confident in that, be certain in that.
(19:50):
To agree, you can be certain in anything. And we'll
see if Trump is able to pull that off. It's
so funny, Clay, he may in fact be worth by
the end of this minist maybe by the end of
this year, the Nobel Peace Prize several times over.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
They will never give it to him, never ever.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Because that is just going right into the the heart
of the international elite. They will never give him the
Nobel Peace Prize, even though well that's why it's kind
of become a joke. But we are watching this closely.
You're also noticing we're not talking too much about the
economy this week. That's because, hey, how's your four to
one k looking Clay over there with his French cuff
(20:31):
shirts with the monograms and the stock ticker behind him.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I can just see it right now.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
We got to get like a separate set for you
on radio where Clay's like, all right, guys, we're talking stocks.
He said, don't sell if anything by it was good advice.
It was good advice, and I will tell you great advice.
I actually I did buy the dip and it was
a good move. Stocks are up for the year. That's
the thing you need to know. And you know things
(20:56):
have gotten a lot better because they don't put the
stock ticker up on CNN, they don't put the stock
ticker up on MSNBC. It is such a dishonest thing
that when the stocks were going down, that was the
lead story. Price of eggs. Let me hit you at
this buck. Price of gas. Nobody talking about it. Last night,
I went to an MLS game two dollars sixty five cents.
(21:21):
I drove past a Nashville area gas station two dollars
sixty five cents. It is continuing to come down even
as we typically gas prices go up in the summer.
People drive more, that's a general rule. It's down by
half compared to what it was in the summer of
twenty twenty two with Joe Biden virtually zero media discussion.
(21:42):
That's how most people recognize what the price of goods is.
That's the thing they see and just and see price
changing constantly. Gas prices four year lows, you know, And
part of this, I think is whether you're when you're
reporting on the news, you have to focus on what
is in important and you look for what is in
(22:02):
conflict in those important areas. Right, So the economy, should
we be spending more or how's the market going? Or
where's unemployment? And what can be done to change this?
And what are the policies. The opposition to Trump on
these things right now is so weak as to be
not even really worthy of time. That's just the truth
that they are not mounting any real arguments against it.
(22:24):
So we're updating you on what he's doing at some
level because that's the only show in town and it's
going well, right. I mean, if it was and when
things were rough, what do we say, Okay, the market's down,
it's going to be choppy, this is going to require
a reset. But we think he knows what he's doing.
Trust in this, and sure enough, here we are. So
I just give you all that because we're watching. Trust me.
All Clay and I do is read the news pretty
(22:46):
much all day long and set up stories to talk
about because I know there can be a little bit
of pushback on why are we talking about the Biden thing?
Because we're just finding out the full extent of how
dishonest and disgraceful it was. Yeah, and by the way,
to people out there who say, well, we know he
was bad, we know. Did you see what they did
on January sixth? They spent four years marinating in January sixth,
(23:11):
they had prime time hearings, they came out and told
all of us it was the worst day since the
Civil War. I would submit to you this is way worse.
And the media is going to cover it and the
Democrat brand. It's a big left wing conspiracy. If Republicans
do their job and they hold all these people's feet
(23:33):
to the fire, this will make January sixth look like
a random BLM riot, which is basically what it was.
And we saw hundreds of those. We've never remembered the
four in our lives. I remember this Tapper publicly, mister
Jake Tapper, who's co authored this book that is rightly
being Unfortunately, they're going to sell a ton of copies,
so it is a smart financial decision. But the premise
(23:55):
of it, which is we're the good guys for telling
you the truth now, is absurd and just just an
affront to our intelligence and to the dignity of public discourse. Uh,
but we we're watching all the But I do think
that building on what you just said is important and
why this is such a huge deal. They have to
(24:15):
cover it to make themselves cleansed from their complicity. There's
no way around this, that's right. That's why they want
control of the narrative to the greatest possible degree. And
you've almost started to see some of them maybe with
the beginnings of some contrition, insofar as they would rather
be thought dumb than dishonest. Just remember that they because
(24:37):
they know dishonesty means you're never listening to them again.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Dumb means uh.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Do better next time. That's what they're going for here.
But it actually was not that it was that they
were dishonest. They are clever, Tapa. I just wanted to
point out, and you can go go go check on
Twitter public. He was of the Oh you said that
people shouldn't attack cops on January sixth, and I mean
on the day and right after you're all complicit. You
get no credit for it. Everybody who was speaking out
(25:05):
against violence that day, you know your blood is on
your He was one of those guys. He was a
blood is on all your hands, guys. And as we know,
the only like substantial injury or rather the only fatal
injury was to a woman who was shot by a
police officer as Capitol copa the neck anyway, Ashley Babbitt,
which is still a stain on this country that that happened.
(25:27):
But okay, so here we are now, Clay and they're
going to have to try to explain this to their
own side. Wolf Blitzer, the most milk toast of the CNN, right,
I think I nailed that one, Thank you. I think
that they gave me perfectly information. Yes, the most milk
toast of the CNN anchor stable over there. He starts
(25:49):
with Hakeem Jeffries on, Okay, what did we know about
this decline? Let's walk through this together, friends. This just
happened in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Play too.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
President Biden didn't even recognize George Clooney at a fundraiser.
Why should voters trust Democrats when it's clear so many
in your party went to great lengths to keep Biden's
condition hidden hidden from the public.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I can't tell you what happened between George Clooney and
President Biden.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That wasn't at that event. What I can say is
that we're not looking back.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
We're going to continue to look forward because at this
moment we've got real problems that need to be addressed
on behalf of the American people, including the Republican effort
to snatch away healthcare, snatch away full assistance and hurt veterans.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
That's not going to work, the h the old Potomac pivot,
it's not it's not going to work.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
The uh. We're just looking forward now. No. Actually, this
is in many ways, Clay.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I think VIMA for the honor and integrity such as
it is of a political party in America, I've never
seen anything like this before. I've never seen anything that
is this because it wasn't and you know, I don't
want to get at all that January sixth was a
different thing. You know, there was a whole lot of
there was a lot of rigging that went on in
(27:04):
that election. There's a whole lot of reason for concern.
It was mostly it was a mostly peaceful protest. It
was mostly a protest and everything else. This was a
all the kings horses and all the King's men, multi
year conspiracy at the very top of the government day
in and day out. It wasn't a protest that got
(27:24):
too rowdy and that then was treated like it was,
you know, Pearl Harbor bombing.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
And I think we need to see this for what
it is.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, and that's why I think we need to have
prime time congressional hearings. I just I don't if Republicans
do not do this, they are incompetent, because one, it's
super important for the country. We can never have this
situation occur again. Say whatever you want about Barack Obama,
say whatever you want about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, George W.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Bush.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Did anybody doubt that they had the mental faculties to
make whatever choices they wanted to make?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Of course not.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I think Heck, I'd like to see Obama under oath.
Why did Obama not pick Joe Biden in twenty sixteen.
It's some real question that Biden has never really answered.
I think it's because they could see already that he
was in the early stages of dementia in twenty sixteen,
(28:26):
and that's why he went to Hillary. Think about that.
He didn't let his VP that was there for eight
years take over.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I know they tried to say, well, Joe you're just
not doing well enough because your son died. I'm sure
that was debilitating to Biden and probably did not help
his descent into dementia.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
But was the.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Death of his son partly what they used as a
cover to explain his descent into dementia.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Maybe it accelerated it.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
In twenty nineteen, he didn't recognize the guy who had
been his top advisor since the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And I hate to say this, but.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You all know how dementia works. Some days you can
have good days and you can think, hey, maybe it's
not so bad. I thought they this is where you
and I see this a little differently. I think they
thought they could thread the needle with a good day
on debate night. And I don't know how they thought that.
I don't know what the nap schedule was or whatever,
or the drugs that they were likely shooting him up with. Yeh,
(29:34):
right before he went out. And I you know, you
could look at his eyes. Remember us talking about how
he would wear the sunglasses. But if you zoomed in
on his eyes, the man looked hopped up on stuff
like crazy. When he was given some of these speeches,
Remember how angry he looked. Remember how I mean, I'm
(29:54):
there is zero doubt that they were shooting him up
like crazy. Remember when he finish fish the State of
the Union and he read go get him?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Do you remember that? And remember when he went.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
To Ukraine and at the end he had lived and
they were so angry at him about what he said
at the end, like we've got a tear down putin
or whatever it was. They the guy could barely read
off a prompter. But like an old ballplayer who's been
doing something for a long time, he could be as
good as he was for short periods of time, depending
(30:30):
on day and time.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm gonna tell you this right now.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
If it was really about what was good for the
country and going forward being more accurate and doing a
better job, where's your invitation, where's my invitation to go
on Morning Joe and explain why we strap the whole time? Yeah?
But when is the view going to say, Hey, Buck,
I want you to come on and just walk us
(30:52):
through why you and Clay they can have both of us.
It'd be fun. Why you and Clay were right about
this for years, to the point where it was almost
like the mockery felt hackneyed. After a while, it's like,
we've just done this joke day in and day out,
day in and day because we're left with no choice.
Why did you guys get it right? No, instead, we're
(31:13):
still some we were right, they were wrong, but somehow
they still feel morally superior in the situation. This is
what you have to remember about Democrats. It doesn't matter
that they look like absolute well liars and buffoons. It's
they did this to stop the bad team. The bad
people were the bad people. Nothing else matters, which is,
(31:34):
by the way, their entire ethos when it comes to
dealing with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
So is it.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Surprising Clay that they would do this given that they say.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I, you know, they have the on Laura Shaw last
night just to kind of laugh.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
They're these professors at Yale, as if that's supposed to
impress anybody, It should not impress anybody, These professors at
Yale who are leaving the country because they're experts in
fascism and they can't handle all the fascism that's going on.
So they're idiots and cowards because they're just abating their
country instead of standing in No surprise there right got
to go find a tenured position somewhere else. But at
(32:10):
what point do they just realize, you guys are wrong,
You're insane, grow up and calm down. By the way,
we got another bit of breaking news that's another conspiracy
theory I think that we've shared on this show that
now looks like it's true. Jim Jordan is investigating, and
it appears he has found smoking gun evidence that Pfizer
hid the results of their COVID shot to avoid it
(32:33):
coming out before the twenty twenty election. So, in addition
to all the other rig jobs that were going on,
the Wall Street Journal just published Lawmakers investigating whether Pfizer
waited to share results, and Jim Jordan just shared some
tweets and emails that suggest that Pfizer's top execs intentionally
(32:54):
prevented that from occurring, which obviously given how close that was,
And Jim Jordan now is going to come on the
show with us tomorrow to be talking about that buck.
So conspiracy theorists are on a hell of a run.
You know, They're like a baseball team that's going like
one hundred and sixty two. And oh, everything they told
you was a conspiracy. You wait a few months and
(33:15):
or in this case a few years and it ends
up being true. I want to remind you all about
the great work that's being done day in and day
out by Preborn, an incredible organization that has saved hundreds
of thousands, in fact, three hundred and fifty thousand babies
over the last two decades and counting. And they can
only do this because of donations from you, the pro
life community. I understand Roe v way is gone. I
(33:38):
understand you're voting your conscience and you're taking action and
the ballot box to protect life. But what are you
doing day in and day out. Yes, you have to
live your principles, your ideals, but there are organizations like
this that are on the front lines. Preborn is saving
babies right now, and they need your help. This is
where you can make a difference. Preborn starts this whole
(33:59):
process welcoming a pregnant mom into their facility and giving
a free ultrasound and letting that mom see the tiny
heartbeat the little baby growing inside her, and then talking
to her about the options for support and care and
love that you will receive if she chooses to give
this baby life. And this works so often, and they
only need twenty eight dollars per ultrasound. You know, we
(34:21):
had that wonderful Vip who wrote it and said that
for Mother's Day, her husband gave her a ten ultrasounds
gift essentially in her name to Preborn, So that was
two hundred and eighty dollars. Think about that, Ten little
babies that might be running around the world in the
next you know, the next year, and years and years
going forward because of that incredible gift to donate securely.

and they do a lot of it with the Sunday
(35:05):
Hang Join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up
in the Klay and Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts, and make sure
that there isn't just some way for them to wriggle
off on this one. And for those of you out there, say, oh,
we all know a lot of people at seeing n
at MSNBC still don't know about exactly how much of
(35:27):
a lie they were told, and they've embarrassed. They've done
the one thing you don't want to do. They've embarrassed
the media because the media now looks really complicit because
they were. But now that Biden is gone, they have
to go after him. Here's a question, Buck, What in
Kamala harrisy do you really think the Vice President of
(35:51):
the United States, Given that there are reports Biden couldn't
remember the names of his advisors, didn't know that Joe
Biden's brain was gobblegook. Of course she knew. She covered
up too. She said she wouldn't even do anything different
even though there was a deminipation in the White House.
(36:13):
She needs to have her feet held to the fire too.
And don't even get me started on the evil that
is doctor Jill Biden. Imagine what she saw. We'll keep
diving in on this

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
