"We Called It" is the Clay and Buck "See, I Told You So." The hosts discuss President Donald Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia, highlighting his efforts to secure a trillion-dollar Gulf investment in the U.S. economy. They also touch on positive economic indicators, including a drop in inflation to 2.3%, and call for the Federal Reserve to initiate interest rate cuts.
A major segment of the hour is dedicated to the explosive revelations from an upcoming book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, which alleges that President Biden’s physical and cognitive decline was so severe that aides considered he might need a wheelchair post-election. Clay and Buck argue that legacy media outlets like CNN and NBC knowingly misled the public about Biden’s condition to protect his candidacy and defeat Trump. They assert that this media cover-up is part of a broader pattern of misinformation, comparing it to the media’s handling of COVID-19 and the Russia collusion narrative.
The hosts also criticize the mainstream media’s sudden shift in tone, suggesting that journalists are now attempting to rehabilitate their credibility by admitting Biden’s decline only after the election. They play a montage of past clips from CNN’s Jake Tapper, illustrating what they describe as a stark contrast between his previous defenses of Biden and his current reporting.
Clay and Buck further explore the political implications of Biden’s withdrawal from the race, the Democratic Party’s internal struggles, and Vice President Kamala Harris’s perceived weaknesses as a candidate. They speculate on the strategic missteps that led to Biden participating in the June 27th debate, which they believe was a turning point in the election cycle.
The hour also includes commentary on the state of the media landscape, the decline of fact-checking, and the erosion of public trust in traditional journalism. The hosts emphasize the importance of alternative media voices and celebrate their own track record of accurate predictions on major issues like COVID-19, Biden’s health, and the 2024 election outcome.
In a lighter segment, Buck shares his excitement over the New York Knicks’ playoff performance, reflecting on his lifelong fandom and the team’s resurgence. The hour wraps up with investment advice from Clay, encouraging long-term thinking in the stock market, and a plug for their Crockett Coffee brand.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
kicks off right now. I was just listening to Trump
speaking in Saudi Arabia taking something up a victory lap
already on what's going on with the trade deals, and
he's trying to get a trillion dollars of golf investment into.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The United States.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And we'll bring you some of those highlights. Also, the
market looking pretty good these days, and we got inflation
number low. Trump actually said, Clay, you'd be proud just
like you. It's like I told you to buy about
a month ago. I told you to buy. It was
a good time. It turns out he got a lot
(00:42):
of heat for that then, but it was a good
time to buy. Inflation has fallen to two point three percent,
which is even lower than expected. But when is the
rate cut going to happen? It's time for a rate cut, everybody.
What's going on with Jerome? Too slow Jerome or whatever
he calls him, you know, too late Jerome. He needs
to get this.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Thing going in a big way.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
We've also got some crazy details coming in about the
Newark air traffic crisis that from a Newark airport it's
just indicative of how much we need to fix some
things in this country. Now. I know Secretary Duffy is
on it. We've talked to his office. He'll be joining
us when he can. But it's a little bit of
an all hands on deck situation over there right now
for US Transportation Administration. So we'll we'll dive into that
(01:27):
later later on the program will have Secretary Duffy. I
don't know this week, next week, sometime soon, but Clay
amidst the the the victory lap going on with Trump
and the Middle East deals that are underway, the deal
making that this president is known for. There is a
lot of attention now on the details that are coming out.
(01:50):
As we said, we've been preparing you for this for
a while, details that are coming out about just how
much of a mental and physical wreck, just how debilitated
was Joe Biden while he was president, and while they
were telling us that he was great, not that he
(02:11):
was kind of okay, but that he was, you know,
fit as a fiddle, sharpest he'd ever been Sharpes's attack
all of that stuff. Clay, We're going to get into
this and for those who are going to say to
us I'm just gonna get ahead of this, Clay, because
you know we're going to get these calls.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Why are you guys talking about this last election?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It is because the media that is Democrat, the media
that lied about Russia collusion and COVID and all this stuff.
They are flat on their asses right now and this
is their this is their effort to rehabilitate their image,
to regain trust, to regain power, to stop the Trump agenda.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Old news that nobody should care about. It's we can't
let them get away with the lie because they're.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Doing this for a reason.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Why is there such a focus on this? Okay, And
we'll get into some of that, and we've got a
great Jake Tapper, Montage. Clay and I are probably gonna
argue over whether we should actually have Tapper on the
show or not. I'm now after today, I'm just like
I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I'm just gonna know.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm just gonna be like, dude, you're just You're just
a liar and a scumbag and this is gross. But okay,
maybe we have mom. We'll get to that later. Here's
here's where we are, Clay. They're saying now that Biden's
physical deterioration. Physical deterioration was so severe. This is from
the Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson book, which is out
(03:35):
next week. Physical deteriorations so severe that they discussed among
his senior advisors that he would need to be wheelchair
bound after the election, that he would, you know, need
to be wheelchair bound. And this is amazing, Meet Clay,
because we have audio of me back in twenty twenty
(03:56):
two that they would put him out on stage in
a wheelchair if they had to, and that that's how
invested in Biden they are.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And maybe I'll play that audi you later.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But can we I just I want your take on
this because I want everyone they're doing this for a reason.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
They're lying again. They were not fooled. The story is
now Biden's advisors fooled us. We had no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't think they're going to be able to pull
this off. I actually think they're running into the wood
chipper once again. Yeah, we told you that this was
all going to happen. As soon as the election was over,
the truth would be told. And I think this is
the death knell in legacy media because COVID started this
and Trump in twenty sixteen with the concept of fake news,
(04:45):
but to argue that Joe Biden was fit as a fiddle,
as CNN did two days before the June twenty seventh
presidential debate, to argue, as NBC News did about two
weeks before the presidential debate, that I in particular was
engaged in misinformation and disinformation for sharing videos that showed
(05:08):
Biden was not mentally and physically up to the job
at the G seven. For them to then have all
of this arise and for their defense to be well,
there was no way we could have known. I think
is lighting whatever tiny ounce of credibility these legacy media
institutions had on fire. And I will point out one
(05:31):
very significant aspect. Have you noticed, Buck, that the concept
of misinformation and disinformation has virtually vanished. Fact checking so far,
to a large extent, has vanished too. I think that
the legacy media has lost the legitimacy to be considered
umpires anymore. It's almost like everybody has just decided we'll
(05:54):
call the game ourselves. Remember when you were a kid
and you played kickball and you didn't have an umpire,
and if you had a really tough call.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
What would you do? Both sides would just say do over.
We don't know exactly what happened, We'll do it over.
I feel like most people in America now have said,
I'm going to trust my own eyes. I don't need
someone to be trying to demonstrate or tell me what
is going on in the larger world. There's plenty of
(06:23):
sources to seek out, and the legacy media is the
most dishonest group of people that are Democrat propagandists.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Here is a way that I would put it.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
If Trump had had the mental and physical deterioration that
Biden had, how would they have covered Trump? And you
got some minor idea. Remember how they covered Trump when
he slowly walked down the stairway.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I guess it was kind of.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
A runway a little bit at West Point when it
was wet, and they were saying, oh, my goodness, this
guy doesn't have the mental or physical capability. Do you
remember that story or the challenges associated with the way
that they covered it. They would have had every single
detail on Trump's health dead to right. They would have
(07:11):
obsessively covered any attempt to argue that he was the
best version of himself.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's actually substantially work and what you're saying is all true,
but I think it's substantially worse than that, Clay, when
you add into it. They talked about the twenty fifth
Amendment for Trump all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, there were, there were. They don't talk about it
at all now though, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Right, right, But they talked about it all the time
when Trump was president's first term, Clay, they had psychiatrists
showing up on CNN who were you know, because they
were told to by their puppet masters, claiming that you know,
Trump had some tick or because he said something that
was off whatever it is, that he actually had some form.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Of like a brain degeneration. I mean, yeah, they were
they were absence.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
So so your point, yeah, they would have covered it
differently well with Trump, they just lied about him dementia.
So they lied about Trump having dementia, and then they
lied about Biden not having dementia. And I actually am
gonna because you know, this is also me getting to
get a little bit of my swagger back after losing
the Steake bet to Clay, the big Steake bet that
(08:17):
we had over whether they would keep Biden in the
whole point is they wanted to keep Biden in and
the story, the narrative that they're now peddling that it
is here. This is the quote that's getting a lot
of attention right now, is trying to defeat Donald Trump
in one hundred and seventy days was a bleeping nightmare.
This is from David Pluff in the book It's All Biden.
(08:39):
He totally bleeped us. This is a lie. Yeah, they
all went along with it because Kamal is an imbecile
and they only put her in the vice president slot
because of DEEI because she's a black woman. That is
the only reason she was chosen to be at the
bottom of that ticket. They knew she couldn't win the
general election on her own, and they thought they could
keep lying about Joe Biden as long, for as long
(09:00):
as they could, or as long as they would need
to to get him, and then it was going to
be Kamala was president, you know, within the first few
months of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That was the whole game.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yes, and I still say I I the story that
has not been told that I still want told buck
is why did they debate on June twenty seventh that
is the number one question that I had.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I think it happened to be for camp.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I agree that is the thing that actually, if somebody
can get me insight into, I agree that would be
really noteword like, that would be very interesting. But I
think in a year of the grossest political miscalculations, or
an election with the grossest political miscalculations of our lifetime,
raid mar A Lago, bring four criminal indictments, he'll never
be able to win. Then think of the things that
they did all backfired when they raided mar A Lago,
(09:48):
the Republican primary was over, Trump was the nominee. They
brought four criminals. They actually convicted him in New.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
York, Yes, thut thirty four felonies.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
They convicted him of thirty four felonies and were he
was scared to do a damn thing about it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Clay.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Now they're trying to play this game of oh we
didn't know, or oh it was hidden from us. They're
all liars. There's all I and here here's we'll provide you.
By the way, I know you want to tea up.
We have all Tapper Montage. Oh yeah, does is he
gonna want to come on?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Even after we play this montage.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I don't know, because it's not He's not gonna be
able to play his usual games here. But okay, hold on,
I don't know, the audience doesn't really want them on.
We'll talk about that later, but here you go, Clay
in April of we just got the revelation today about
the wheelchair. Okay, yes, the aides were told, Hey, I
think Biden's gonna have to be in a wheelchair. And
this is you know, in the last year. Here's me
(10:42):
on this show April of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Two, three years ago. Play it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Do you think that if this got to a point,
and to be very clear, I wish this on literally
no one, certainly including Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But if his health deterior to the.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Point where he had to be moved around in a
wheelchair and aids had to largely speak for him, do
you think the New York Times would say, Joe Biden
still a steady hand on the econ.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I wonder how far they're willing to keep the charade going.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Honestly, I mean, look at what they've done with COVID,
look at the madness that they're willing to embrace for
ideological and partisan ends. I'm not even sure what it
would take for them to admit. I mean, I'm wondering
what is the outer limit of their willingness to prop
up Joe Biden, who is clearly not a responsible choice
for president of the United States right now. I think
there'd be a lot of people would say, Joe still,
(11:33):
you know, he's still all there. He just he has
to have sake, you know, talk for him, and they
wheel him around. And I think that that's where we are.
I think there are a lot of people that would
do that.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Am I a profit, Clay that you and be talking
three years ago?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You would really have been a profit if you had
recognized that he wasn't going to be the nominee, because
then you wouldn't have had to pay for a stake
back if you just followed the natural logic of your
wheelchair analogy there.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I do. I do think that this is.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
A aquarion call for the necessity of new media outlets,
because if you're out there and you're wondering, they're obsessively
in the White House. We talked about this for years.
I do think that one reason this show has grown
an audience is we've been proven to have been right
(12:23):
about the biggest issues. I'm not saying we get everything perfect.
We were wrong on twenty twenty two Red Wave. I
was in particular. I thought we would get it. We didn't.
We got it in twenty twenty four instead. But if
you go back and look over the last four years
that we've been talking to everybody on the really big issues,
does the COVID shot work?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Do masks need to be worn by two year olds?
Does it?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Is Joe Biden in good mental and physical health? Is
Trump up to the job of being president? Two point zero?
We've gotten almost all those really big issues right. And
I do think that media audiences are in many ways
a weighing of legitimacy, and Fox News has soared, We've swored,
(13:08):
and all these other organizations are paying the price for
lying to their base.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yes, well, I think that for one thing, it should
matter that we're right. But also another test here in
all of this is these people who are now coming
forward to report on what they should have been reporting
on a year ago at a bare minimum, a year
ago at a bare minimum right, meaning that this is
in enough time that they could have had more of
a real clay. Why weren't they reporting on it last
(13:35):
May because they were all in on it being Biden.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I know that Biden ended up being pushed Biden.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They they took it up the middle of the football
field with Biden to the goal line, and then they
decided they were gonna just, you know, go for it
one last time. They got so close and he fumbled it,
and they all were in on this plan. They were
all a part of this.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I'm going sports analogies, and this is important for everyone
to remember. They were not duped. They were in on
the lie. And now they want to try to regain
credibility so they can then turn around and attack Trump
with greater efficacy. They want to be able to tear
him down by being we're the journalists. We just and
(14:17):
we're not letting it happen. And that's why this matters.
That's why this is us telling everybody through. But yeah,
I was saying, Clay, the point that I was making
in twenty twenty two. I think that they would say
he's fine, even if they had to put him out
in a wheelchair. It did get to that point, Yes,
that is what happened. But then the debate the only the.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Debate. That's that's the story, right.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Why did they do debate in June twenty seven because
they could have continued with your Why who ordered the
code read on Biden?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Like? Why did they do that?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I think they thought he could get through it. I
don't think they thought it would end at Clay makes
no sense. I think they actually had convinced themselves we'll
just push through this one more time and and we're done.
I think that's what Again, that is the reporting. Maybe
it's in this book, but that I would say, again,
we got to go to break here.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
But Buck, the real question to me that needs to
be told is who got that debate on the schedule,
because if they had just waited until September, he would
have been the nominee to do debates, and.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Then they should have just skipped the debate altogether.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But anyway, Yeah, Tunnel, the Towers Foundation is incredible and
your support makes such a lasting difference, a lasting difference
in real lives like the Clark family. US Air Force
Sergeant Jesse Clark's military service came to an end after
a chemical exposure cars caused a large tumor to form
in his brain. As a result, he is paralyzed on
the left side of his body, legally blind, prone to
(15:41):
memory loss, and in a wheelchair for the remainder of
his life. Friends like you help Tunnel to Towers build
this hero a smart home to help him live a
more independent life. So many more families like the Clarks
need your help, and this is where Tunnel the Towers
comes in. America's heroes have given so much we can
say thank you to them in a lasting and meaningful way.
I go donate every month, so does Clay please join
(16:02):

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Okay, we
got a montage for you of our boy Jake Tapper
when we come back. I don't think we have time
to fit it in right, We're just shy at the time,
and it's a great montage. We will play it at
thirty when we come back here in a moment, and
I guarantee that you guys are gonna love it. But
I want to give a little bit of a nod
(16:43):
to our woor audience. Buck, you have been a lifelong
Knicks fan. They have not been good for like fifty
years in terms of being able to win a championship.
Now I know, Patrick Hume is really good. You are
actually doing the unbelievable. You are watching NBA games and
enjoying them because the Knicks, your childhood team, now winning.
(17:04):
Sorry to everybody in Boston, I think the series ended
last night.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah it was. Well, I'm not as confident as you
that Boston. We'll see what happens with Jason Tatum after
that injury, which is always you know, it's always sad
to see any athlete, especially an Achilles' injury, because it
can be so no doubt damaging to the long term
prospects of the career. But anyway, hopefully he's all good
to go. But I think that for Knicks fans, I
(17:29):
think you could argue. And for those of you're saying, Buck,
why do you care? Why do you know?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I used to go to Knicks games growing up, like
my uncle had season tickets. I mean, I was a
diehard fan back in the night. I was a Knicks
fan in the nineties, and somehow it was just like
they got close, but no cigar every time they had
a good team, and then they just became the worst
managed professional team in all sports. I think paying the
most money for the most mediocre over the hill all stars,
(17:55):
So yeah, I think we deserve some wins. New York

Speaker 2 (18:56):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. So we
got these details.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Coming out about how they.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Were ready for Biden to be wheelchair bounds, and they
knew that this was going to happen and they were
just trying to hold it until after the election, which
was the plan all along we saw, which was if
they can just get byed into election day, then afterwards
(19:22):
it doesn't really matter. He can claim a health issue
suddenly and Kamala takes over and she's the vice president.
You have the first black female president.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It was very obvious what they were trying to do,
but they just all got in on this lie. I
think it's also worth noting that they told us that
the era of journalism had changed because the truth was
inherently anti Trump, and so places like the Washington Post
and The New York Times became right. I mean that
they opened democracy, Stars and Darkness and they turned into
(19:52):
anti Trump outlets. I mean, that was their reason for
existing and anything would be okay to do to stop
Trump as far as they were concerned, not lying about
Biden's dementia though no, of course they lied about Biden's dementia.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
But here we go.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
So we got this book coming out from these two,
and look, Clay points this out. He's right, it's it's
brilliant marketing. But you know, it's a little bit like
remember when OJ tried to write the if I did it,
Here's how I did it book. I'm sure it would
have sold a lot of copies. But now you're the
guy writing the if I killed my wife from this
(20:28):
other person, Here's how I did it book. Like there's
a brand hit that I think comes with that, or
a just a maybe, you know, a selling of the
soul to be part of the rehabilitation of the Democrat
media's journalistic image under the Oh, we got fooled by
all of but think of who Biden's advisors were. By
the way, Biden's advisors here an income poops. You're to
(20:52):
tell me these people fooled you. You don't tell me
that this this team of imbeciles that were around him
were so clever that our earn us. No, of course,
it's all lie. But here's what happened if you tried
to tell the truth. Here we have a montage of
the co author of the book, Jake Tapper, on issues
relating to Biden. And I think this stretches back for
at least a couple of years on issues stretching issues
(21:15):
dealing with Biden's cognition. This is how truth teller Jake
presented it on CNN.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Play it.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
feel when they see you make a comment like that
is very clearly a cognitive decline, That's what I'm referring to.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
You are.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I think that's so amazing. It's so amazing to me.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
That trying to figure out an.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Answer cognitive decloneative.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Biden embraces his stutter talking about it, while Trump, mock said,
exaggerates it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
The little zip.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
He's sharp physically, I mean mentally.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I think the question is physically right right or.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So right right?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three
or four years younger than him. Abe, I mean, you
have questioned President Biden's age, mental fitness ability to lead.
Of those supporting Biden you said, quote Shane on all
of you pretending everything is okay. You're leading us in
him into a disaster. Do you worry that you damaged
him at all? I don't doubt that you got hugs
and handshakes behind closed doors today, and maybe even publicly,
(22:12):
some of them because they like you personally. But I've
heard a lot of really nasty stuff about you from
your Democratic College. I mean, just like, what is he thinking?
Exercise in narcissism? I mean false claims to the Wall
Street Journal about President Biden's mental fitness and acuity. He's
eighty one and his memory. You know, it doesn't seem great.
(22:33):
It's not horrible, But I don't understand the outage quote
behind closed doors, Biden's shows signs of slipping unquote. The
Wall Street Journal is owned by Newscore, which is run
by the Murdocks. Beyond the headline, there is some critical
nuance here. The article is mostly based on observations of Republicans,
with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy the only one going on
the record. They do note in the article that most
(22:55):
of the criticism comes from Republicans.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Have you heard any.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Concerns from any one who has met with President Biden
about him seeming a little slower. Now the Russians are
trying to do to make us and the public not
trust the our election integrity. Joe Biden has dimension all
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Yeah, I think we should have Tapper on and I
think we should just play that whole cut the So.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
The Russians are the ones lying about Biden's dementia. Oh,
it's a stud By the way, I told you this
because I had a speech impediment growing up and had
to do speech therapy and kids made fun of me
to fall back on that, to create this false moral
blackmail if you're making fun of a stutter. No, he
has dementia. He has scrambled eggs in his head. We
all know it that we're just playing it. This is
(23:40):
this guy's words, and now he's coming forward and I
can tell you he's sending me messages saying this isn't
new for us, like speaking the truth about Biden's decline, No,
it is.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Actually it is.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Everything we played there was him either outright lying or
undermining people who are trying to tell the truth. And
you're like, why are we talking with this guy. We're
helping sell his book. Guys he is. This has always been,
This has always been Tapper's beat. He's the He's just
a real journalist.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You know. He calls it, he calls balls and strikes.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
He's their hopes and dreams of corporate journalism that always
favors Democrats. That this propaganda journalism can be rehabilitated, rests
on his shoulders. That's what this whole game is.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
CNN two days before the Biden debate headline. Right wing
media figures are desperately pushing conspiracy theories about Biden ahead
of the debate. This is Oliver Darcy at CNN opening sentence.
Donald Trump's allies and right wing media have a problem ahead.
(24:40):
They've set the bar too low for President Joe Biden.
For years, and particularly over the last few months, MAGA
media has portrayed Biden as a senile, mentally incapacitated elderly
man who cannot remember what he had for breakfast, let
alone run the federal government. That might sound like an
exaggeration to those who don't tune into Fox News or
listen to talk radio, but it has been a real
(25:03):
and constant theme in the right wing media universe to
support listen to this. This is CNN to support the narrative.
These outlets and personalities have seized on Biden's verbal gaffs
while ignoring Trump's, and presented out of context video clips
to their large audiences, a deceptive but effective strategy that
(25:23):
the Biden campaign has struggled to meaningfully to meaningfully Rebut
and I just I'll bring up I mean, I pointed
this out, but it is crazy. Just a couple of
days before the actual election took place, I mean, sorry,
the debate. On June twenty seventh, there was a headline
this is a headline in NBC News saying and I quote,
(25:47):
I mean they ripped me in this Conservative media uses
misleading camera angles to falsely claim Biden was wondering aimlessly
and to say that basically we were all lying. They
quote me as here as a liar for suggesting that
Biden was not able to be president in literally buck.
Let's see, the date on this article was June fourteenth,
(26:10):
thirteen days before the debate. They said, Klay Travis in
particular in this article INBC News I just read from CNN.
I don't know how they come back from this, and
you may be right, but this is.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
The point I'm sorry, I just this is exactly what's
going on right now, is they're trying to They're trying
to take their lumps on we're so dumb, we got
fooled by Biden and his team, because that then lets
them say we'll do better next time, we'll apply or journalistic.
They are propagandists. They played not just the general American public,
(26:46):
they played their own audience for fools.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, because the.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Game was we all lie about this. We all know
we're lying about this, but the end result is a
Trump defeat. And that's why they've got such a big problem,
because they got caught in the lie and they lost.
I also think this comes in conjunction with COVID. While
we have been right about most everything on this program
that matters in a big way, they've been wrong about
(27:11):
almost everything, and a lot of times they don't come
on and acknowledge the things that they do get wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Listen to this. I had them pull this clip. I
saw this circulating this morning. This is Rachel Maddow telling
everyone in her audience that if you got the COVID shot,
it was a cure all and it would stop the
spread of COVID forever. She never has come on and
ever acknowledged how wrong this was. Listen to this cut.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
But with that set a RAND can have a much
spreader future, but will never allow American as well.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Actually, that was instead of the virus being able to
hop from person to person to person to person, spreading
and spreading, sickening some of them but not all of them,
and the ones that it doesn't sick and don't know
they have it and then they give to even more people.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Because they didn't recognize they were.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Instead of the virus being able to hop from person
to person person, potentially mutating and becoming more virulent and
drug resistant along the way. Now we know that the
vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every
vaccinated person. A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus,
the virus does not infect them. The virus cannot then
(28:18):
use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use
a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.
That means the vaccines will get us to the end
of this.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Okay, we get Remember the heat we got when we
came on in June and July of twenty twenty one.
We had Barns and On who said that it basically
maybe helps you a little bit for about a month. Yes,
that was too that was too ambitions I mean, or
too optimistic. Yes, and we got I mean, I'm gonna
tell you, guys, we had people who were like going
after us going on. I was named in some New
(28:51):
York Times piece that was like.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Oh, like guys who think that there are demons in
the vaccine. I don't think there are demons in the vaccine.
I just didn't think it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Worked very well it Clay Clay, I will say this,
though there's a difference here. I think it's an important
one for everyone. What do they say about COVID if
they're really boxed into a corner, it was Fauci's fault
we listened to or not his fault? They say Fouchi's call. Yeah,
you know is the exp They fall back on the
experts thing. No one needs to be an expert in
(29:22):
anything other than having eyes and ears to know that
Joe Biden was falling asleep in his apple sauce and
didn't know where he was. Okay, we all knew. There's
no expertise needed for this. And journalists are supposed to quote.
Journalists are supposed to observe and ask the tough questions. Instead,
(29:42):
they observed and subverted and lied. And they're all They're
all by every network we beat up on CNN, ABC, CBS,
you know, Margaret Brennan being such a nasty piece of
work in the debate against Trump. Like they all were
in on this.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Yes, they a completely were and by the new lie
that they're spreading. And this is where they're fighting now
inside the Biden and Kamala camps is, as you said,
the idea that Biden screwed Kamala by staying too long
in the race until he dropped out the logger. Kamala
had to run the worst worst was going to do
(30:21):
one hundred percent, one hundred percent true.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
We all knew it.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
They knew Kamala was a disaster. They tried to hide
her from the media. Clay, think about this. She was
such a disaster that in a severely shortened campaign, they
just figured let's not have her talk to anybody. Yes,
that was Democrats making that decision.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
They knew.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
But what Democrats also manage is not only to make
Trump president play. They basically blew up the Biden regime
and completely destroyed the future of a Kamala presidency in
one election cycle, they tried to spend a billion and
a half dollar in about ninety days to drag Kamala
(31:03):
Harris across the finish line while limiting completely her interaction
with almost anyone in media.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I think Buck they actually were okay with lighting Kamala
Harris's future on fire because they knew she didn't have one,
and so that way they may have cleaned the slate,
so to speak, for twenty twenty eight, so that she
is not a viable candidate, whereas otherwise she might have
been running at the forefront.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I really mean this, however dishonest you think the people
were in reporting this. It's worse and however stupid you
think the people in this White House, And I mean
really just like lack of judgment, lack of wisdom, whatever
level of buffoonery you think the Biden White House was
capable of, it was much worse because when you see
(31:48):
this stuff coming out in what happened here, Clay, the
obvious move. The obvious move was after the mid term,
say Biden's older, we're gonna build up Kamala, or we're
gonna have a primary. They could have had a real
primary and had a real Democrat candidate who had a shot.
Why didn't they do it? Because they thought they could
(32:09):
get away with Biden.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's the finly plausible explanation. That's the only thing that
could possibly be the answer.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Well, the benefit of not winning a landslide in twenty
twenty two, which I think was a result of Roe v.
Wade being overturned and abortion motivating enough Democrats to come
out and vote in twenty two, was it actually convinced
Biden that people liked him as president and so they
tried to drag him across. I think if there had
been a landslide Republican win in twenty two, they would
(32:37):
have replaced him. They would have said we got to
move on.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
In a sense, the overturning of Roe may be not
only responsible for saving countless lives, but also making Donald
Trump president.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Yes, I think there's a strong argument, and I think
my theory on this I just got through writing about
it in my new book. I think abortion politics are
almost over, I really do. The left always overstated this.
This is what I said this going into the mid rooms, Like,
I don't think it's going to be that big of
a deal. They got away with it once because they
just lied about everything, But it wasn't that big of
a deal because of where the laws actually the laws
(33:08):
actually became, which is reverting to the states. So yep, yeah,
I think it's over as a major national political issue.

Patriots Radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton them find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
S and P five hundred.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Let's have a little bit of positivity out there now
higher than it was at.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
The start of the year. So if you just if you.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Just stuck to the to the process, you now just
didn't even pay attention to where the S and P
five hundred was, didn't let the doom and gloomers get
the better of you. I hope you didn't panic sell.
You are now up for the year since January one,
just by buying the five hundred biggest companies and just
(35:10):
leaving it alone. If, on the other hand, you panic sold,
you likely sold at the bottom of the market and
at some point they have to buy back in at
the top, which is the exact opposite of what you
should do when it comes to investing. So I hope
you listen to calmer, cooler heads, and my advice is
if you can't do it, I'm just gonna keep hammering
(35:30):
this because I do think it's really significant. Don't look
just every six months or so, take a gander at
your four to oh one k. Understand that every ten
years on average it's gonna double. And do not allow
the passions of the moment to lead you astray when
it comes to long range plans. Day to day is
(35:51):
not necessarily the way to go. By the way, speaking
of the way to go, go get some Crocket Coffee

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
kicks off right now. I was just listening to Trump
speaking in Saudi Arabia taking something up a victory lap
already on what's going on with the trade deals, and
he's trying to get a trillion dollars of golf investment into.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The United States.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And we'll bring you some of those highlights. Also, the
market looking pretty good these days, and we got inflation
number low. Trump actually said, Clay, you'd be proud just
like you. It's like I told you to buy about
a month ago. I told you to buy. It was
a good time. It turns out he got a lot
(00:42):
of heat for that then, but it was a good
time to buy. Inflation has fallen to two point three percent,
which is even lower than expected. But when is the
rate cut going to happen? It's time for a rate cut, everybody.
What's going on with Jerome? Too slow Jerome or whatever
he calls him, you know, too late Jerome. He needs
to get this.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Thing going in a big way.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
We've also got some crazy details coming in about the
Newark air traffic crisis that from a Newark airport it's
just indicative of how much we need to fix some
things in this country. Now. I know Secretary Duffy is
on it. We've talked to his office. He'll be joining
us when he can. But it's a little bit of
an all hands on deck situation over there right now
for US Transportation Administration. So we'll we'll dive into that
(01:27):
later later on the program will have Secretary Duffy. I
don't know this week, next week, sometime soon, but Clay
amidst the the the victory lap going on with Trump
and the Middle East deals that are underway, the deal
making that this president is known for. There is a
lot of attention now on the details that are coming out.
(01:50):
As we said, we've been preparing you for this for
a while, details that are coming out about just how
much of a mental and physical wreck, just how debilitated
was Joe Biden while he was president, and while they
were telling us that he was great, not that he
(02:11):
was kind of okay, but that he was, you know,
fit as a fiddle, sharpest he'd ever been Sharpes's attack
all of that stuff. Clay, We're going to get into
this and for those who are going to say to
us I'm just gonna get ahead of this, Clay, because
you know we're going to get these calls.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Why are you guys talking about this last election?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It is because the media that is Democrat, the media
that lied about Russia collusion and COVID and all this stuff.
They are flat on their asses right now and this
is their this is their effort to rehabilitate their image,
to regain trust, to regain power, to stop the Trump agenda.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Old news that nobody should care about. It's we can't
let them get away with the lie because they're.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Doing this for a reason.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Why is there such a focus on this? Okay, And
we'll get into some of that, and we've got a
great Jake Tapper, Montage. Clay and I are probably gonna
argue over whether we should actually have Tapper on the
show or not. I'm now after today, I'm just like
I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I'm just gonna know.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm just gonna be like, dude, you're just You're just
a liar and a scumbag and this is gross. But okay,
maybe we have mom. We'll get to that later. Here's
here's where we are, Clay. They're saying now that Biden's
physical deterioration. Physical deterioration was so severe. This is from
the Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson book, which is out
(03:35):
next week. Physical deteriorations so severe that they discussed among
his senior advisors that he would need to be wheelchair
bound after the election, that he would, you know, need
to be wheelchair bound. And this is amazing, Meet Clay,
because we have audio of me back in twenty twenty
(03:56):
two that they would put him out on stage in
a wheelchair if they had to, and that that's how
invested in Biden they are.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And maybe I'll play that audi you later.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But can we I just I want your take on
this because I want everyone they're doing this for a reason.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
They're lying again. They were not fooled. The story is
now Biden's advisors fooled us. We had no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't think they're going to be able to pull
this off. I actually think they're running into the wood
chipper once again. Yeah, we told you that this was
all going to happen. As soon as the election was over,
the truth would be told. And I think this is
the death knell in legacy media because COVID started this
and Trump in twenty sixteen with the concept of fake news,
(04:45):
but to argue that Joe Biden was fit as a fiddle,
as CNN did two days before the June twenty seventh
presidential debate, to argue, as NBC News did about two
weeks before the presidential debate, that I in particular was
engaged in misinformation and disinformation for sharing videos that showed
(05:08):
Biden was not mentally and physically up to the job
at the G seven. For them to then have all
of this arise and for their defense to be well,
there was no way we could have known. I think
is lighting whatever tiny ounce of credibility these legacy media
institutions had on fire. And I will point out one
(05:31):
very significant aspect. Have you noticed, Buck, that the concept
of misinformation and disinformation has virtually vanished. Fact checking so far,
to a large extent, has vanished too. I think that
the legacy media has lost the legitimacy to be considered
umpires anymore. It's almost like everybody has just decided we'll
(05:54):
call the game ourselves. Remember when you were a kid
and you played kickball and you didn't have an umpire,
and if you had a really tough call.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
What would you do? Both sides would just say do over.
We don't know exactly what happened, We'll do it over.
I feel like most people in America now have said,
I'm going to trust my own eyes. I don't need
someone to be trying to demonstrate or tell me what
is going on in the larger world. There's plenty of
(06:23):
sources to seek out, and the legacy media is the
most dishonest group of people that are Democrat propagandists.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Here is a way that I would put it.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
If Trump had had the mental and physical deterioration that
Biden had, how would they have covered Trump? And you
got some minor idea. Remember how they covered Trump when
he slowly walked down the stairway.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I guess it was kind of.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
A runway a little bit at West Point when it
was wet, and they were saying, oh, my goodness, this
guy doesn't have the mental or physical capability. Do you
remember that story or the challenges associated with the way
that they covered it. They would have had every single
detail on Trump's health dead to right. They would have
(07:11):
obsessively covered any attempt to argue that he was the
best version of himself.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's actually substantially work and what you're saying is all true,
but I think it's substantially worse than that, Clay, when
you add into it. They talked about the twenty fifth
Amendment for Trump all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, there were, there were. They don't talk about it
at all now though, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Right, right, But they talked about it all the time
when Trump was president's first term, Clay, they had psychiatrists
showing up on CNN who were you know, because they
were told to by their puppet masters, claiming that you know,
Trump had some tick or because he said something that
was off whatever it is, that he actually had some form.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Of like a brain degeneration. I mean, yeah, they were
they were absence.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
So so your point, yeah, they would have covered it
differently well with Trump, they just lied about him dementia.
So they lied about Trump having dementia, and then they
lied about Biden not having dementia. And I actually am
gonna because you know, this is also me getting to
get a little bit of my swagger back after losing
the Steake bet to Clay, the big Steake bet that
(08:17):
we had over whether they would keep Biden in the
whole point is they wanted to keep Biden in and
the story, the narrative that they're now peddling that it
is here. This is the quote that's getting a lot
of attention right now, is trying to defeat Donald Trump
in one hundred and seventy days was a bleeping nightmare.
This is from David Pluff in the book It's All Biden.
(08:39):
He totally bleeped us. This is a lie. Yeah, they
all went along with it because Kamal is an imbecile
and they only put her in the vice president slot
because of DEEI because she's a black woman. That is
the only reason she was chosen to be at the
bottom of that ticket. They knew she couldn't win the
general election on her own, and they thought they could
keep lying about Joe Biden as long, for as long
(09:00):
as they could, or as long as they would need
to to get him, and then it was going to
be Kamala was president, you know, within the first few
months of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That was the whole game.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yes, and I still say I I the story that
has not been told that I still want told buck
is why did they debate on June twenty seventh that
is the number one question that I had.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I think it happened to be for camp.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I agree that is the thing that actually, if somebody
can get me insight into, I agree that would be
really noteword like, that would be very interesting. But I
think in a year of the grossest political miscalculations, or
an election with the grossest political miscalculations of our lifetime,
raid mar A Lago, bring four criminal indictments, he'll never
be able to win. Then think of the things that
they did all backfired when they raided mar A Lago,
(09:48):
the Republican primary was over, Trump was the nominee. They
brought four criminals. They actually convicted him in New.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
York, Yes, thut thirty four felonies.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
They convicted him of thirty four felonies and were he
was scared to do a damn thing about it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Clay.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Now they're trying to play this game of oh we
didn't know, or oh it was hidden from us. They're
all liars. There's all I and here here's we'll provide you.
By the way, I know you want to tea up.
We have all Tapper Montage. Oh yeah, does is he
gonna want to come on?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Even after we play this montage.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I don't know, because it's not He's not gonna be
able to play his usual games here. But okay, hold on,
I don't know, the audience doesn't really want them on.
We'll talk about that later, but here you go, Clay
in April of we just got the revelation today about
the wheelchair. Okay, yes, the aides were told, Hey, I
think Biden's gonna have to be in a wheelchair. And
this is you know, in the last year. Here's me
(10:42):
on this show April of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Two, three years ago. Play it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Do you think that if this got to a point,
and to be very clear, I wish this on literally
no one, certainly including Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But if his health deterior to the.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Point where he had to be moved around in a
wheelchair and aids had to largely speak for him, do
you think the New York Times would say, Joe Biden
still a steady hand on the econ.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I wonder how far they're willing to keep the charade going.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Honestly, I mean, look at what they've done with COVID,
look at the madness that they're willing to embrace for
ideological and partisan ends. I'm not even sure what it
would take for them to admit. I mean, I'm wondering
what is the outer limit of their willingness to prop
up Joe Biden, who is clearly not a responsible choice
for president of the United States right now. I think
there'd be a lot of people would say, Joe still,
(11:33):
you know, he's still all there. He just he has
to have sake, you know, talk for him, and they
wheel him around. And I think that that's where we are.
I think there are a lot of people that would
do that.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Am I a profit, Clay that you and be talking
three years ago?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You would really have been a profit if you had
recognized that he wasn't going to be the nominee, because
then you wouldn't have had to pay for a stake
back if you just followed the natural logic of your
wheelchair analogy there.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I do. I do think that this is.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
A aquarion call for the necessity of new media outlets,
because if you're out there and you're wondering, they're obsessively
in the White House. We talked about this for years.
I do think that one reason this show has grown
an audience is we've been proven to have been right
(12:23):
about the biggest issues. I'm not saying we get everything perfect.
We were wrong on twenty twenty two Red Wave. I
was in particular. I thought we would get it. We didn't.
We got it in twenty twenty four instead. But if
you go back and look over the last four years
that we've been talking to everybody on the really big issues,
does the COVID shot work?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Do masks need to be worn by two year olds?
Does it?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Is Joe Biden in good mental and physical health? Is
Trump up to the job of being president? Two point zero?
We've gotten almost all those really big issues right. And
I do think that media audiences are in many ways
a weighing of legitimacy, and Fox News has soared, We've swored,
(13:08):
and all these other organizations are paying the price for
lying to their base.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yes, well, I think that for one thing, it should
matter that we're right. But also another test here in
all of this is these people who are now coming
forward to report on what they should have been reporting
on a year ago at a bare minimum, a year
ago at a bare minimum right, meaning that this is
in enough time that they could have had more of
a real clay. Why weren't they reporting on it last
(13:35):
May because they were all in on it being Biden.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I know that Biden ended up being pushed Biden.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They they took it up the middle of the football
field with Biden to the goal line, and then they
decided they were gonna just, you know, go for it
one last time. They got so close and he fumbled it,
and they all were in on this plan. They were
all a part of this.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I'm going sports analogies, and this is important for everyone
to remember. They were not duped. They were in on
the lie. And now they want to try to regain
credibility so they can then turn around and attack Trump
with greater efficacy. They want to be able to tear
him down by being we're the journalists. We just and
(14:17):
we're not letting it happen. And that's why this matters.
That's why this is us telling everybody through. But yeah,
I was saying, Clay, the point that I was making
in twenty twenty two. I think that they would say
he's fine, even if they had to put him out
in a wheelchair. It did get to that point, Yes,
that is what happened. But then the debate the only the.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Debate. That's that's the story, right.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Why did they do debate in June twenty seven because
they could have continued with your Why who ordered the
code read on Biden?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Like? Why did they do that?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I think they thought he could get through it. I
don't think they thought it would end at Clay makes
no sense. I think they actually had convinced themselves we'll
just push through this one more time and and we're done.
I think that's what Again, that is the reporting. Maybe
it's in this book, but that I would say, again,
we got to go to break here.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
But Buck, the real question to me that needs to
be told is who got that debate on the schedule,
because if they had just waited until September, he would
have been the nominee to do debates, and.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Then they should have just skipped the debate altogether.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But anyway, Yeah, Tunnel, the Towers Foundation is incredible and
your support makes such a lasting difference, a lasting difference
in real lives like the Clark family. US Air Force
Sergeant Jesse Clark's military service came to an end after
a chemical exposure cars caused a large tumor to form
in his brain. As a result, he is paralyzed on
the left side of his body, legally blind, prone to
(15:41):
memory loss, and in a wheelchair for the remainder of
his life. Friends like you help Tunnel to Towers build
this hero a smart home to help him live a
more independent life. So many more families like the Clarks
need your help, and this is where Tunnel the Towers
comes in. America's heroes have given so much we can
say thank you to them in a lasting and meaningful way.
I go donate every month, so does Clay please join

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Okay, we
got a montage for you of our boy Jake Tapper
when we come back. I don't think we have time
to fit it in right, We're just shy at the time,
and it's a great montage. We will play it at
thirty when we come back here in a moment, and
I guarantee that you guys are gonna love it. But
I want to give a little bit of a nod
(16:43):
to our woor audience. Buck, you have been a lifelong
Knicks fan. They have not been good for like fifty
years in terms of being able to win a championship.
Now I know, Patrick Hume is really good. You are
actually doing the unbelievable. You are watching NBA games and
enjoying them because the Knicks, your childhood team, now winning.
(17:04):
Sorry to everybody in Boston, I think the series ended
last night.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah it was. Well, I'm not as confident as you
that Boston. We'll see what happens with Jason Tatum after
that injury, which is always you know, it's always sad
to see any athlete, especially an Achilles' injury, because it
can be so no doubt damaging to the long term
prospects of the career. But anyway, hopefully he's all good
to go. But I think that for Knicks fans, I
(17:29):
think you could argue. And for those of you're saying, Buck,
why do you care? Why do you know?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I used to go to Knicks games growing up, like
my uncle had season tickets. I mean, I was a
diehard fan back in the night. I was a Knicks
fan in the nineties, and somehow it was just like
they got close, but no cigar every time they had
a good team, and then they just became the worst
managed professional team in all sports. I think paying the
most money for the most mediocre over the hill all stars,
(17:55):
So yeah, I think we deserve some wins. New York

Speaker 2 (18:56):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. So we
got these details.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Coming out about how they.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Were ready for Biden to be wheelchair bounds, and they
knew that this was going to happen and they were
just trying to hold it until after the election, which
was the plan all along we saw, which was if
they can just get byed into election day, then afterwards
(19:22):
it doesn't really matter. He can claim a health issue
suddenly and Kamala takes over and she's the vice president.
You have the first black female president.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It was very obvious what they were trying to do,
but they just all got in on this lie. I
think it's also worth noting that they told us that
the era of journalism had changed because the truth was
inherently anti Trump, and so places like the Washington Post
and The New York Times became right. I mean that
they opened democracy, Stars and Darkness and they turned into
(19:52):
anti Trump outlets. I mean, that was their reason for
existing and anything would be okay to do to stop
Trump as far as they were concerned, not lying about
Biden's dementia though no, of course they lied about Biden's dementia.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
But here we go.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
So we got this book coming out from these two,
and look, Clay points this out. He's right, it's it's
brilliant marketing. But you know, it's a little bit like
remember when OJ tried to write the if I did it,
Here's how I did it book. I'm sure it would
have sold a lot of copies. But now you're the
guy writing the if I killed my wife from this
(20:28):
other person, Here's how I did it book. Like there's
a brand hit that I think comes with that, or
a just a maybe, you know, a selling of the
soul to be part of the rehabilitation of the Democrat
media's journalistic image under the Oh, we got fooled by
all of but think of who Biden's advisors were. By
the way, Biden's advisors here an income poops. You're to
(20:52):
tell me these people fooled you. You don't tell me
that this this team of imbeciles that were around him
were so clever that our earn us. No, of course,
it's all lie. But here's what happened if you tried
to tell the truth. Here we have a montage of
the co author of the book, Jake Tapper, on issues
relating to Biden. And I think this stretches back for
at least a couple of years on issues stretching issues
(21:15):
dealing with Biden's cognition. This is how truth teller Jake
presented it on CNN.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Play it.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
feel when they see you make a comment like that
is very clearly a cognitive decline, That's what I'm referring to.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
You are.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I think that's so amazing. It's so amazing to me.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
That trying to figure out an.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Answer cognitive decloneative.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Biden embraces his stutter talking about it, while Trump, mock said,
exaggerates it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
The little zip.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
He's sharp physically, I mean mentally.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I think the question is physically right right or.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So right right?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three
or four years younger than him. Abe, I mean, you
have questioned President Biden's age, mental fitness ability to lead.
Of those supporting Biden you said, quote Shane on all
of you pretending everything is okay. You're leading us in
him into a disaster. Do you worry that you damaged
him at all? I don't doubt that you got hugs
and handshakes behind closed doors today, and maybe even publicly,
(22:12):
some of them because they like you personally. But I've
heard a lot of really nasty stuff about you from
your Democratic College. I mean, just like, what is he thinking?
Exercise in narcissism? I mean false claims to the Wall
Street Journal about President Biden's mental fitness and acuity. He's
eighty one and his memory. You know, it doesn't seem great.
(22:33):
It's not horrible, But I don't understand the outage quote
behind closed doors, Biden's shows signs of slipping unquote. The
Wall Street Journal is owned by Newscore, which is run
by the Murdocks. Beyond the headline, there is some critical
nuance here. The article is mostly based on observations of Republicans,
with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy the only one going on
the record. They do note in the article that most
(22:55):
of the criticism comes from Republicans.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Have you heard any.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Concerns from any one who has met with President Biden
about him seeming a little slower. Now the Russians are
trying to do to make us and the public not
trust the our election integrity. Joe Biden has dimension all
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Yeah, I think we should have Tapper on and I
think we should just play that whole cut the So.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
The Russians are the ones lying about Biden's dementia. Oh,
it's a stud By the way, I told you this
because I had a speech impediment growing up and had
to do speech therapy and kids made fun of me
to fall back on that, to create this false moral
blackmail if you're making fun of a stutter. No, he
has dementia. He has scrambled eggs in his head. We
all know it that we're just playing it. This is
(23:40):
this guy's words, and now he's coming forward and I
can tell you he's sending me messages saying this isn't
new for us, like speaking the truth about Biden's decline, No,
it is.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Actually it is.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Everything we played there was him either outright lying or
undermining people who are trying to tell the truth. And
you're like, why are we talking with this guy. We're
helping sell his book. Guys he is. This has always been,
This has always been Tapper's beat. He's the He's just
a real journalist.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You know. He calls it, he calls balls and strikes.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
He's their hopes and dreams of corporate journalism that always
favors Democrats. That this propaganda journalism can be rehabilitated, rests
on his shoulders. That's what this whole game is.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
CNN two days before the Biden debate headline. Right wing
media figures are desperately pushing conspiracy theories about Biden ahead
of the debate. This is Oliver Darcy at CNN opening sentence.
Donald Trump's allies and right wing media have a problem ahead.
(24:40):
They've set the bar too low for President Joe Biden.
For years, and particularly over the last few months, MAGA
media has portrayed Biden as a senile, mentally incapacitated elderly
man who cannot remember what he had for breakfast, let
alone run the federal government. That might sound like an
exaggeration to those who don't tune into Fox News or
listen to talk radio, but it has been a real
(25:03):
and constant theme in the right wing media universe to
support listen to this. This is CNN to support the narrative.
These outlets and personalities have seized on Biden's verbal gaffs
while ignoring Trump's, and presented out of context video clips
to their large audiences, a deceptive but effective strategy that
(25:23):
the Biden campaign has struggled to meaningfully to meaningfully Rebut
and I just I'll bring up I mean, I pointed
this out, but it is crazy. Just a couple of
days before the actual election took place, I mean, sorry,
the debate. On June twenty seventh, there was a headline
this is a headline in NBC News saying and I quote,
(25:47):
I mean they ripped me in this Conservative media uses
misleading camera angles to falsely claim Biden was wondering aimlessly
and to say that basically we were all lying. They
quote me as here as a liar for suggesting that
Biden was not able to be president in literally buck.
Let's see, the date on this article was June fourteenth,
(26:10):
thirteen days before the debate. They said, Klay Travis in
particular in this article INBC News I just read from CNN.
I don't know how they come back from this, and
you may be right, but this is.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
The point I'm sorry, I just this is exactly what's
going on right now, is they're trying to They're trying
to take their lumps on we're so dumb, we got
fooled by Biden and his team, because that then lets
them say we'll do better next time, we'll apply or journalistic.
They are propagandists. They played not just the general American public,
(26:46):
they played their own audience for fools.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, because the.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Game was we all lie about this. We all know
we're lying about this, but the end result is a
Trump defeat. And that's why they've got such a big problem,
because they got caught in the lie and they lost.
I also think this comes in conjunction with COVID. While
we have been right about most everything on this program
that matters in a big way, they've been wrong about
(27:11):
almost everything, and a lot of times they don't come
on and acknowledge the things that they do get wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Listen to this. I had them pull this clip. I
saw this circulating this morning. This is Rachel Maddow telling
everyone in her audience that if you got the COVID shot,
it was a cure all and it would stop the
spread of COVID forever. She never has come on and
ever acknowledged how wrong this was. Listen to this cut.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
But with that set a RAND can have a much
spreader future, but will never allow American as well.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Actually, that was instead of the virus being able to
hop from person to person to person to person, spreading
and spreading, sickening some of them but not all of them,
and the ones that it doesn't sick and don't know
they have it and then they give to even more people.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Because they didn't recognize they were.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Instead of the virus being able to hop from person
to person person, potentially mutating and becoming more virulent and
drug resistant along the way. Now we know that the
vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every
vaccinated person. A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus,
the virus does not infect them. The virus cannot then
(28:18):
use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use
a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.
That means the vaccines will get us to the end
of this.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Okay, we get Remember the heat we got when we
came on in June and July of twenty twenty one.
We had Barns and On who said that it basically
maybe helps you a little bit for about a month. Yes,
that was too that was too ambitions I mean, or
too optimistic. Yes, and we got I mean, I'm gonna
tell you, guys, we had people who were like going
after us going on. I was named in some New
(28:51):
York Times piece that was like.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Oh, like guys who think that there are demons in
the vaccine. I don't think there are demons in the vaccine.
I just didn't think it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Worked very well it Clay Clay, I will say this,
though there's a difference here. I think it's an important
one for everyone. What do they say about COVID if
they're really boxed into a corner, it was Fauci's fault
we listened to or not his fault? They say Fouchi's call. Yeah,
you know is the exp They fall back on the
experts thing. No one needs to be an expert in
(29:22):
anything other than having eyes and ears to know that
Joe Biden was falling asleep in his apple sauce and
didn't know where he was. Okay, we all knew. There's
no expertise needed for this. And journalists are supposed to quote.
Journalists are supposed to observe and ask the tough questions. Instead,
(29:42):
they observed and subverted and lied. And they're all They're
all by every network we beat up on CNN, ABC, CBS,
you know, Margaret Brennan being such a nasty piece of
work in the debate against Trump. Like they all were
in on this.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Yes, they a completely were and by the new lie
that they're spreading. And this is where they're fighting now
inside the Biden and Kamala camps is, as you said,
the idea that Biden screwed Kamala by staying too long
in the race until he dropped out the logger. Kamala
had to run the worst worst was going to do
(30:21):
one hundred percent, one hundred percent true.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
We all knew it.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
They knew Kamala was a disaster. They tried to hide
her from the media. Clay, think about this. She was
such a disaster that in a severely shortened campaign, they
just figured let's not have her talk to anybody. Yes,
that was Democrats making that decision.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
They knew.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
But what Democrats also manage is not only to make
Trump president play. They basically blew up the Biden regime
and completely destroyed the future of a Kamala presidency in
one election cycle, they tried to spend a billion and
a half dollar in about ninety days to drag Kamala
(31:03):
Harris across the finish line while limiting completely her interaction
with almost anyone in media.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I think Buck they actually were okay with lighting Kamala
Harris's future on fire because they knew she didn't have one,
and so that way they may have cleaned the slate,
so to speak, for twenty twenty eight, so that she
is not a viable candidate, whereas otherwise she might have
been running at the forefront.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I really mean this, however dishonest you think the people
were in reporting this. It's worse and however stupid you
think the people in this White House, And I mean
really just like lack of judgment, lack of wisdom, whatever
level of buffoonery you think the Biden White House was
capable of, it was much worse because when you see
(31:48):
this stuff coming out in what happened here, Clay, the
obvious move. The obvious move was after the mid term,
say Biden's older, we're gonna build up Kamala, or we're
gonna have a primary. They could have had a real
primary and had a real Democrat candidate who had a shot.
Why didn't they do it? Because they thought they could
(32:09):
get away with Biden.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's the finly plausible explanation. That's the only thing that
could possibly be the answer.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Well, the benefit of not winning a landslide in twenty
twenty two, which I think was a result of Roe v.
Wade being overturned and abortion motivating enough Democrats to come
out and vote in twenty two, was it actually convinced
Biden that people liked him as president and so they
tried to drag him across. I think if there had
been a landslide Republican win in twenty two, they would
(32:37):
have replaced him. They would have said we got to
move on.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
In a sense, the overturning of Roe may be not
only responsible for saving countless lives, but also making Donald
Trump president.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Yes, I think there's a strong argument, and I think
my theory on this I just got through writing about
it in my new book. I think abortion politics are
almost over, I really do. The left always overstated this.
This is what I said this going into the mid rooms, Like,
I don't think it's going to be that big of
a deal. They got away with it once because they
just lied about everything, But it wasn't that big of
a deal because of where the laws actually the laws
(33:08):
actually became, which is reverting to the states. So yep, yeah,
I think it's over as a major national political issue.

Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
S and P five hundred.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Let's have a little bit of positivity out there now
higher than it was at.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
The start of the year. So if you just if you.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Just stuck to the to the process, you now just
didn't even pay attention to where the S and P
five hundred was, didn't let the doom and gloomers get
the better of you. I hope you didn't panic sell.
You are now up for the year since January one,
just by buying the five hundred biggest companies and just
(35:10):
leaving it alone. If, on the other hand, you panic sold,
you likely sold at the bottom of the market and
at some point they have to buy back in at
the top, which is the exact opposite of what you
should do when it comes to investing. So I hope
you listen to calmer, cooler heads, and my advice is
if you can't do it, I'm just gonna keep hammering
(35:30):
this because I do think it's really significant. Don't look
just every six months or so, take a gander at
your four to oh one k. Understand that every ten
years on average it's gonna double. And do not allow
the passions of the moment to lead you astray when
it comes to long range plans. Day to day is
(35:51):
not necessarily the way to go. By the way, speaking
of the way to go, go get some Crocket Coffee
