In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts kick off a wide-ranging and high-energy discussion centered on media bias, election integrity, California politics, and President Donald Trump’s latest interview, while also previewing upcoming guests and cultural moments. A major theme of the hour involves scrutiny of ongoing vote counting in California elections, particularly the Los Angeles mayoral race, where Clay and Buck raise concerns about late-arriving mail-in ballots disproportionately favoring Democrat candidates. They analyze voting trends, arguing that statistical anomalies in ballot counting raise questions about transparency and election processes, while inviting listener input from Los Angeles residents experiencing the situation firsthand. The conversation then pivots to President Donald Trump’s recent interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, where Trump strongly reiterated claims about election irregularities in 2020 and ongoing concerns about current voting practices. Clay and Buck highlight Trump’s confrontational exchange with moderator Kristen Welker, emphasizing his criticism of media credibility and election procedures. The hosts frame this interview as emblematic of broader tensions between Trump and legacy media outlets, reinforcing their ongoing critique of what they describe as mainstream media bias. Another dominant segment focuses on CBS journalist Scott Pelley and fallout surrounding 60 Minutes, with Clay and Buck sharply criticizing Pelley's comments and public appearances. They mock what they characterize as self-aggrandizing rhetoric from legacy media figures, arguing that traditional television journalism has become increasingly out of touch with the public. The hosts use this discussion to underscore a broader narrative about the decline of trust in mainstream news organizations and the rise of alternative media voices. Additional topics in Hour 1 include discussion of crime concerns in New York City, specifically a violent incident near Penn Station, as well as heightened security measures surrounding President Trump’s attendance at a New York Knicks playoff game at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks’ strong performance also becomes a lighter cultural topic, with Buck highlighting renewed excitement in New York sports. Clay and Buck also open phone lines to listeners, particularly from California, capturing firsthand accounts of public frustration with crime, homelessness, and local governance, as well as skepticism about election outcomes. These caller perspectives reinforce the hosts’ broader themes about dissatisfaction in major urban areas and perceived political mismanagement. Throughout Hour 1, the show blends political commentary, media criticism, and listener engagement, while previewing upcoming interviews, including Vanilla Ice (Robert Van Winkle) and other guests. The hour sets the tone for the rest of the program by focusing heavily on election integrity debates, media trust issues, and current political dynamics under President Donald Trump’s administration, making it a packed and politically charged opening segment.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Monday edition of Clay and Bock kicks off. Now, thanks
for being here with us, everybody. Hope you had a
fantastic weekend. We've got more of the Scott Pelly fallout.
He is posting yachting or perhaps schooner photos of himself
to show he stands in solidarity with the people. So
(00:26):
we'll have that conversation coming up in a bit. More
on Graham Plattner, and that'll be a thing that we
have to do with the LA mayors race slash governor's
race for California not looking so good right now. The
late ballots coming in are too many, suspiciously suspiciously favoring
(00:50):
the Democrats by a lot, by huge, huge margins. We
can discuss how that is looking, and we've got more
on all this. But also I have to note for
all of you there is a fellow who will be
joining us, assuming all happens as scheduled, which we never know,
but there will be a fellow joining us named Robert
(01:12):
Van Winkle. And now you might be saying, who is
this Robert van Winkle? Is he an esteemed conservative author.
Is he a pundit of the first order?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Is he the heir of Rip van Winkle potentially could
be who knows?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh, oh, I'm sorry Vanilla Ice, Now you know who
I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Rip. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Robert van Winkle is in fact the given name of
a mister Vanilla Ice. For those of you who came
of age, actually forget that. For any of you who
remember the nineties, this is going to be quite a
moment for all of us. In fact, Clay, I not
only celebrate Ice Ice Baby, which immediately the music video
(01:55):
comes up in my mind immediately, the refrain and stop up,
collaborate and listen is something that just it seered into
our brains. I actually saw a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles
Too Secret of the Ooze in theaters, and mister van
Winkle Vanilla Ice did the theme song for that.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Are you aware of that? Clay, I did not remember that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I also, did you need to say the name of
the The name.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It was Go Ninja, Go Ninja Go was the I
think it was Going Ninja was the song?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, I did go see all the teenage June Ninja
Turtle movies. I did not remember that. Vanilla Ice was
the soundtrack king there. But I was saying off air
as we were getting ready to come on, if you
had told me when Ice Ice Baby was the number
one song in America that one day I would meet
Vanilla Ice, and I think it counts as meeting that
(02:53):
we're gonna have him on the show. I would have
been ecstatic on a level that is that is crazy.
So I am looking forward to that interview. By the way,
we've also got the Governor of Indiana not to drown
him a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
But he's no Vanilla He might have some dance moves,
we don't know. He might talk to us, he could freestyle.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
He told us he would come on to talk about
the Chicago Bear situation, and it looks like the Chicago
Bears are moving to Indiana.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And then our friend Jennifer Say, who has the xx x.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Y product, great brand that has a crazy basis of existence,
which is men and women are different, and she is
going to talk with us. We're still waiting, remember for
the Supreme Court decision. I believe it's Idaho and West Virginia.
It's been challenged as to whether or not boys can't
(03:45):
compete in girls athletics in those state high school associations.
That opinion is still out there, but we will talk
with her. So we got a fun Monday program as
we as we roll through what did you want to begin?
First of all, Scott Pelley has given one of the
most ridiculous interviews of all time with sixty minutes. Graham Platner,
the LA Mayor Trump's going to be watching your beloved
(04:09):
New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden. What did
you want to Dealer's choice begin with?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Today?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
We'll certainly discuss the Knick situation. I will be watching
the game tonight because, like now so many New Yorkers,
I am a diehard Knicks fan once again after many
years of sadness and heartbreak. Now the Knicks are a
team not just worth rooting for, but they're a team
of destiny. They're a team of historic proportions, a team
(04:36):
that some are saying, if it were to win this championship,
which looks likely, they could be arguably the greatest performing
team in a single playoff slash final season of all time,
which is a remarkable situation, especially after all the years
where the New York Knicks were essentially a team of
(04:57):
castaway former stars with injuries, being overpaid and underperforming for
about twenty years. Now we have something else. I will
note that New York City, unfortunately in this moment, is
having such a brilliant there's really a sense of joy
and funnel the streets. And then unfortunately there was this
like lunatic who ran around stabbing people in Penn Station,
(05:19):
which is right where Madison Square Garden is, which is
right where President Trump will be at the game as well.
Is he going to the game tonight?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh yeah, game three tonight at Madison Square Garden. There's
lots of security for our wor listeners anyone in the
vicinity of Madison Square Garden, as one might imagine given
the threats on the President's life in the past, they
have a substantial barrier barricade that they have put up
that's more substantial than normal.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Speaking of the President, as we often do, he had
a little sit down with Meet the Press in Wisconsin
and Christian Welker, and we're just going to give you
a little a little taste of there's a few of
the of the key moments here. But Trump is still
(06:09):
very fired up about January sixth about the twenty twenty election,
and also this January sixth compensation fund, essentially the Anti
Weaponization Fund or a fund meant to begin the process
of the government making amends for those who were horrifically
treated because of their presence and in or around the
(06:29):
Capitol in January sixth. This is how this started. Exchange
was going viral over the weekend, play cut one.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
What they did to the lives of people, They destroyed people,
They sent people to jail who did nothing with it.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Just be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying,
but there's a lot about Todd Blent.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
To me, let's talk this tremendous evidence. There is nothing
but election was rigged. It was a dirty election. This
is happening again right now in dallafor happening right now
in California, right now, it's looking look at what's happening.
It's in California.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It's how they're not there.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me
tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close
to coming up.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's how they can.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You know why they're doing that, because they're cheating on
the election.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
What do you have evidence.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I have to do is look or to listen, and
I listen to people and let's see.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
What happens that's not evident. You think it's appropriate, that's
how they the votes.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You think it's appropriate that they have an election and
five days later they're nowhere close.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
To picking local officials acknowledge they are slow, they're.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Urging, they're crooked, they're urging the votes.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
To be counted.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Quicker.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You take that and run with it. Have fun.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Look, we said on this program, you go back and listen.
After the Tuesday night results came in, we said, it
looks good for UH our friends Spencer Pratt, and it
looks good for Steve Hilton. And we said that if
we were in LA and we were in California, those
(08:08):
are the choices we would have made.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
On a positive side, it.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Looks like Steve Hilton is going to continue to be
one of the top two contenders going forward and make
the runoff the Spencer Pratt data. He has gone from
second place very comfortably, way ahead of Nittya Raman to
as all of these mail in ballots continue to come in,
(08:34):
she has Nittya Raman has when people actually went and
voted imperfect in person, she had a fraction of the
support that she has gotten in the mail in ballots,
And I just think when you look at the data, Buck,
you're a data guy too. Sometimes you can look at
data and you can tell whether the data makes sense
(08:57):
or not.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And then, like.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Kristen Welker, come back and say, prove to me that
there is some form of cheating going on or some
form of the illegality going on. Let me take it
outside of the world of the of the election. If
I flipped a coin and every time it turned up
heads fifty one hundred, one hundred and fifty times in
(09:24):
a row, you might not be able to tell that
the coin is loaded. You might look at it and say, boy,
this really is just amazing it keeps coming up heads.
But statistical improbability is evidence of the fact that the
things are not on the up and up. And when
you look at the data coming in on how these
(09:44):
votes are occurring for the mail in ballots, I think
the data is clear that something is not right. And
I think the vast majority of you out there agree
with this. If the numbers had stayed relatively consistent, Buck,
maybe she does a little bit better in the mail
How in the world can you explain nobody shows up
(10:05):
to vote for her. She's crying on Tuesday night because
her outcome has been so bad, and then they just
keep getting more and more mail ballots, and she's getting
a higher percentage by far of the mail ballots than
even Karen Bass, and that Spencer Pratt is getting none
of them. If the percentages just don't add up in
any way, I think they want two left wingers running
(10:28):
for mayor because that way they can avoid Spencer Pratt
attacking Karen Bass, the incumbent. I think Karen Bass would
rather run against Ramen And I just think the data
at some point it's a little bit like steroids era
in baseball, when people who never hit fifty home runs
are hitting fifty home runs. You look at it and
you say, this doesn't add up. I think the same
(10:50):
thing happened with Joe Biden. I know you're not supposed
to talk about it. Everybody got canceled when you would
talk about it back in the day. I don't think
Joe Biden got eighty one million legal votes twenty twenty.
I think it's impossible to explain how he trounced Obama
two thousand and eight, how he trounced Hillary twenty sixteen,
and how he trounced Kamala twenty twenty four. I think
(11:11):
you just look at the data and say does this
add up to me?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I don't know if you want to come as aggressive
as I just did, but I just I look at
it and I say, sometimes you can just analyze the
data and say this doesn't happen on the up and up.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Well, let's let's take a look when we come back, Clay,
as part of this, if you want, we can look
at some of the true and clear vulnerabilities. And for
people who like Kristen Welker, who will say, oh, but
the data of the data, part of the problem is
that the way that this is set up, it is
very hard to get the data to prove a fraud,
as in the fraud becomes almost unprovable. And I think
(11:48):
that is by design, right, because if you have no
real like this where well let's get into a chain
of custody and all these different things in the ballots.
But Clay, real quick, let's just let everyone hear this. This,
this is that we played at the beginning of it.
This is how this interview Trump had with Kristin Welker
ended cut to enjoy.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
That's how they y.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Crooked it, just like your crooked.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Your press is crooked, and Meet the presence crooked.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
To be fair, I'm not crooked, but really, well, you.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Play right into their hands.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Zone.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into
their hands with this strap. You know that these elections
are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know that I won.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
An election in a landslide and I got ninety four
percent bad press. You know why I got it because
you have no credibility.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But you've never presented evidence there was rigged.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Let's keep talking about. I want to talk about talk.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You have more evidence, there's more evidence than ever presented.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Let's talk.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Your elections in this country were like a third world country, Sir,
Your elections are crooked, and your crooked and meets the
press is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN,
your one sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I've had enough.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
President, Let's please.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I traveled all the way to Wisconsin, I.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Know, on and off in the rain, and I've given
you enough time, you would to straightened out. You pressed
because you know what, mister country can never be great travel.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the year.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I love everything about this. First of all, all the
way to Wisconsin. She didn't go to the middle of
you know, an antarctic.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
In the interview, it's she she.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Was probably on a private plane from New York City
or d C to UH to Milwaukee. It probably took
what an hour and ten minutes of her time. I mean,
all the way to Wisconsin to me is actually a
little bit telling because it is evidence that if you're
not on the East or the West coast, you might
as well be in the hinter lands. But I love
(13:56):
Trump just getting worked up as the interview went on
and on, and I don't blame him. Look, this is
much of what's happening in LA right now. I think
echoes for him what he saw happen in twenty twenty.
You talked about how it's not only that they do this,
it's that they take glee in telling you there's nothing
improper about what's going on. This is just how democracy works.
(14:16):
And they lecture you and they make you sound like
you're the moron for sitting around and saying, wait a minute,
this seems awfully suspicious and I got, I mean, so
many thoughts about this, but I think it ties in
with Pelly. We're gonna have some fun.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
We'll talk about Scott Pelley in little bits because he
was on his schooner, very upset at what's happened to
sixteen minutes. All you can do is talk like that,
and dumb people think he reminds me of Murphy Brown.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Do you remember the gym character on Murphy Brown that
was like a fit, like making like the old school.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Do you remember that show?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I know it's Monday, it's a little early for shots, Clay,
but like, I'm a little too young for that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It was good. Throw it out there. Oh that's not
poss that's impossible.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Clay's like, you remember that show Mash when it started?
I'm like, no, actually, play, I do not remember it
when that began. That's you, all right. The latest large
scale data breach has affected some five million plus Carnival
Cruise customers. This time around, cyber hackers got a hold
of names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, driver's license,
even passport numbers. This is not good if you've taken
(15:24):
a vacation on Carnival Cruise lines. The data breach occurred
in mid April, and cruise customers started hearing about this
just in the past few weeks. And look, it's not
just Carnival Cruise as happens to It happens to big
companies all the time that have your data. Cyber threats
are everywhere, So what can you do to protect yourself?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Headed towards our buddy Vanilla Ice at the top of
the next hour, which I cannot wait for, and I
want to open up phone lines. Let's cross these out
if we could. I'd like to hear from LA Area residents,
from people that are listening to us right now and
voted in the LA mayor's race during the course of
(16:39):
today's program, What are the conversations like in your community
right now? And you didn't have to vote for Spencer Pratt,
but maybe you voted for Karen Bass, maybe you voted
for Nitya Rahman. Probably not a lot of you who
are listening right now did, but I feel like buck
I saw our friend Jess Kelly tweeting about this, that
(17:02):
they have lost the ability to restrict us from pointing
out things that don't add up. And I feel that
in the wake of twenty twenty and after everything that
happened with COVID, there is much less of a reticence
from so many people to simply acknowledge what is in
front of us and the fact that it smells rotten.
What's the line from Hamlet, Something is rotten in Denmark,
(17:26):
something's rotten in the counting in California and in many
other left wing jurisdictions, and it's incumbent upon all of us.
I think to call it out and speak clearly about
it and just make it more reliable. I just the
fact that we're going to be counting four weeks and
that we just had after five days a change, and
who's allowed to advance to the runoff. I think everybody's
(17:49):
furious and we're not going to stand for it. And
I'll tell you to take it. Sorry, go ahead, that's right,
I'll tell you. But we will be happy to take

Speaker 1 (19:00):
We'll take some.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Calls this weekend as we get to it. I just
have to take a moment here to note that Scott
Pelley is sort of like a super douche built from
assembling the parts of one hundred lesser douches. He may
be the world champion of juchiery at this point.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
He is.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Really leaning into his role here as say, first of
all his whole I'm I've been in combat. Wow, you
have not been in combat. I've been in a combatant
role technically, and I was not in combat.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
That's a different thing.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Meaning if you're a combatant, if you're carrying guns and
you're not like covered under you know, I'm a journal rules, right,
but you know, if you're a contractor and you're carrying guns,
I think technically or at least, you are a combatant.
Although the enemy would treat all of us like combatants,
so it doesn't really matter. But in combat, is you're
actually there to fight and doing fighting, that's a whole
different thing. He was never that, that is for sure.
(20:03):
And Scott Pelly has really become the I think it's
the last gasp of the overpaid, pompous TV news anchor
who thinks that they are some essential part of the republic.
And here he is. He has cut seven. If you
were wondering, could he be a more narcissistic jerk than
(20:24):
what we've already seen, the answer is yes.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Indeed, Play seven.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Said you were part of this gang of stupid, crooked
people that don't care about your country.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Stupid, I can take that stiff. Yeah, probably don't care
about the country. I've never worn the uniform, but I've
been in combat for this country in Afghanistan. Andrew rock Kuwait,
been shot at, spent nights in fox holes, filling up
(20:53):
with water in the desert.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I'm not aware that.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
The President of the United States has ever done any
of those things for his country. Please correct me if
I'm wrong. You become a journalist because you love the
First Amendment. You become a journalist because you love the country.
And while all the other descriptions that the President used
about me might be applicable, not that one. There is
(21:19):
no democracy without journalism. It can't be done, and that
is why I am a journalist.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Journalism. Just a little quick history for everyone. There's so
much here for First of all, Clay Trump got shot, Yeah,
not shot at, although that was part of it.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
He actually took.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
A bullet for his country and stood up and basically
said bring it, communists, scum, and Scott Pelley wants to
play the.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Who's more of a badass game? I'd Clay.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I was there man on some of these bases when
the fancy journals from CNN and ABC would say they
were vis they had their special tours, everything was safe,
they had a giant PSD. This notion, he acts like
he was on the Western Front in World War One
or something.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He's like I was in a trend show. This guy.
I couldn't even listen to that thing without wanting to vomit.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
In general, I'm not sure any profession praises itself more
than journalists praise themselves. I mean, in all seriousness, I
was thinking about this as I watched that clip. You know,
before we started doing this show, Buck, I hadn't spent
that much time around Special Forces guys, the most badass
(22:40):
people on the planet who put their lives on the
line the door kickers of the world.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
They're incredibly humble. They never talk about themselves like Scott
Pelley talked about himself in that ridiculous clip. He thinks
that he is one of the heroes of the United
States because he happened to be on a show that
(23:08):
came on right after the NFL game's end, when people
haven't changed the channel yet, and so as a result,
Sixty Minutes has a big audience. I just I'm not.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Sure that there are that there are any people in
America that are less self aware than those multimillion dollar
journalists who have the cushiest jobs on the planet and
basically exist to fulfill left wing propaganda. There's also the
clipbuck where he said, Barry Weiss asked them, why would
(23:42):
you potentially be considered as untrustworthy? I don't know if
we have that clip as part of this too. And
he just couldn't even comprehend that the American public saw
sixty Minutes journalists as being left wing?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Can I can?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I also, just Clay, just when you think this guy
could not be more melodramatic and really his that is
his job. For a long time, his job has just
been melodramatic, to do a certain kind of voice and
have a certain kind of face.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Reading off of a teleprompter. That's he's an actor, basically, Yes,
he's an actor.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Okay, Yes, even that clip that we plagued, you could
tell he was working himself up as an actor.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
And here he is. If you want to talk about melodrama,
remember this guy. He's gonna spend the rest of his days,
you know, at Nantucket doing like story time for a
bunch of billionaires when they have some kind of a
you know, film festival or something there. Like, he's just
gonna be hanging out. The guy is super rich. He's
already had his career. His kids are said, his grandkids
(24:52):
are said. I'm assuming his kids. I don't know, but
you know, he's fine. Okay, time to move on, buddy.
The dinosaurs don't get to rule the world anymore. You're
done your time in media. It's over. And instead of
just taking it like a man and actually being grateful,
showing some gratitude for being incredibly lucky and incredibly overpaid,
Clay he says that being asked to well, being fired
(25:14):
from sixty minutes, which he demanded essentially by acting like
a lunatic.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It's like watching your spouse be murdered. Play eight.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Well, if we want to talk about it at an
emotional level, the best thing that I can imagine in
terms of describing it is that it's it's like your
spouse was murdered. There's some moments of the day I
feel fine. There are some moments of the day that
I just frankly fall apart when I least expect it.
(25:47):
Not that there's any particular trigger, but I do want
to be clear that I do not feel sorry for me.
I don't care about me. I'm fine. I care about
out these people that I left behind, the people who
are still trapped there.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
He's a lunatic. First of all. The whole thing is
feel sorry for me.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Your spouse was murdered, like on the list of the
worst things that could possibly happen to a human being
on the planet. That and maybe your kid being like,
that's it, right, I mean, these are the worst.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You were asked or you.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Were told to leave your super cushy, multimillionaire job after
twenty something years, you can go do whatever you want.
You're rich beyond words, and you want to solve the
cry big tears for you. This guy just shows you
if you were watching this guy for years and like, oh,
you know he's a patriot of great American and this
guy's moron.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Honestly so his dad rather by the way, but I
knew that he pulled the gun and pulled the trigger.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
He could have just kept his job if he had
merely been willing to meet with his new boss, if
he had just not told his new boss in a
public meeting, you're unqualified.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
You're going to murder this show.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
All he had to do was meet with his boss,
and he would have kept making millions of dollars a year.
He caused the situation that he's now comparing to the
murder of his wife. We also have more ridiculous clips.
(27:31):
This is cut nine. This is him talking about Barry Weiss.
I have you met Barry Weiss before Buck? She is
now basically in charge of the show. I think we had.
I know we had the spouse. I don't know if
Barry on the show.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
No, maybe we just had. I met her.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I met her right before the shooting started at the
White House Correspondence dinner. Otherwise I have not ever interacted
with her. So when I'm prefacing that by saying we're
not in the tank for her, But I think it's
fair to say that CBS News is broken and that
sixty minutes has become increasingly less relevant in the modern era.
(28:07):
Yet here he is teeing off, still on her cut nine.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Do you think Baarwise needs to be removed?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Oh gosh, yes.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Look, she's a lovely person and her free press organization
that she founded has been very successful. She's proven that
great for her. The television's not her thing. She brings
an ideology into CBS News where that is just anathema,
(28:42):
and so it's a terrible fit. She doesn't know television,
she doesn't understand how it works. She doesn't have management
experience for a large organization like CBS News. So yes,
I do think that we would be far better off
without her.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
He's like, you know Moneyball, you see Moneyball out?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Oh yeah, of course you have.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Many times, he's the belligerent sports agent who's like, you know,
you got fifty years of baseball knowledge in here, you're
listening to the wrong guy, remember.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
That, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, way of the of
the news stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's like, dude, you're done, You're the way that you've
done things has not been working. This is very obvious
that waiting to doing nothing but declining. You've been given
all this stuff on a silver platter, and you can
either adapt or be be retired if you will. And
he chose. He chose door number two, and now he
wants to cry about it. Also, what ideology. Barry Weiss
(29:40):
is not a Republican. She is not right wing, and
she's not conservative. She's just not racic woke. Yeah, and
that's too much for him to handle. I would also
just point this out again. I think it ties in
with his way that he described journalism. Television is not
com implicated. It is not a complicated business. As these things.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Go to do.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You can learn how to do television. Someone out there,
every single one of you out there listening to us
right now, would have an idea what the top stories
of the day should be on a television program.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
There's this great.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Adam Carolla scene where he talks in his comedy act Buck,
which I think applies here, where he talks about the
fact that no one acting actors and actresses. And again,
to your point, this guy is basically just an actor.
They think what they do is incredibly difficult. But no
one ever There's tons of girls that got jobs because
(30:45):
of the Harvey Weinstein stuff. Right, no one ever got
to fly a plane because they slept with the pilot. Right,
Like if your job is no one gets to go
do neurosurgery because they happen to be sleeping with the doctor. Right.
If the job is such that you can get it
and people don't even know you got it because of
(31:06):
who you slept with, it's not that hard of a job.
What Scott Pelley does. He should be so incredibly thankful
and filled with gratitude because there are a thousand people
in media that could have done his job at the
exact same level, many of whom could have done it
far better.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
But you and.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I I've never done sixty minutes. I would guarantee you,
I would put every dollar I have on the table
that both you and I could do Scott Pelley's job
better than Scott Pelly did his job at I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Klay Travis as the executive producer of sixty Minutes with
Sidney Sweeney as the main anchor, he's going to do great, Right, We're.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Gonna be hot rating, We're gonna be high coming out
of the NFL. When I put Sidney Sweeney behind the
sixty minutes anchor desk, I'm probably much higher than they
are now.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
We'll get some of your calls here in a second team,
so stay with us. Let's talk about the Preborn Network
of Clinics. This is an a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to
saving the lives of unborn children. It's a small but
mighty staff of dedicated people. This past year, they saved
the lives of seventy thousand babies in the womb. When
a woman walks into one of Preborn's clinics, she's welcomed
(32:14):
with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound,
and for the first time she sees life not lost,
and she's offered hope filled choices. When she chooses preborn
preborn con I'm sorry, chooses life. Preborn continues walking with
her for up to two years after the baby's born,
so that means maternity, closed, diapers, counseling, job placements, so
much more. Preborn takes the pregnant mom into account, but
(32:38):
also welcomes the father of this unborn child too, As
the decision is often made by both the mother and father.
There are hundreds of thousands of parents to be in
the situation today. If you have the means, please make
a donation. Your gift of twenty eight dollars or an
ultrasound experience for one of these moms could so clearly
make the difference between life and abortion for a tiny
(32:59):
baby in the womb right now, and for some.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Of you you could afford two hundred and eighty dollars.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That kind of a gift would help ten ultrasounds right now,
ten ultrasounds. It's one hundred percent tax deductible. By the way,
using your cell phone dial pound two five zero, say
the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby.
Or visit preborn dot com, slash buck, preborn dot com
slash b u c K. All gifts are tax deductible,
and Preborn is a five star rated charity sponsored by Preborn.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Hey Buck.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
One of my kids called me an unc the other
day and unk yep slang evidently for not being hip,
being an old dude.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So how do we ununk?
Speaker 3 (33:45):

At least that's to what my kids tell me.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
That's simple enough. Just search the clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show and hit the subscribe button.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Takes less than five seconds to help ununk me.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Do it for Clay, do it for free and get
great content while you're there the Klay, Travis and Buck
Sexton Show YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I'm gonna run through a bunch of these calls.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
We got a ton of callers in LA that want
to weigh in as the counting on that vote in
the mayor's race and also in the governor's race statewide continues.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Let's start with let's see you, Josh in LA. What
you got for us? Good morning, fire away. I gotta
be fast. What you got?
Speaker 8 (34:29):
Just sad that we're watching them obviously manipulate this vote,
and you know they're just with no shame, just counting
votes and all of them are are going the way
that they wanted and inching out any Republican chance from
the general election.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
And thank you for the call.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Ryuda Rayeida, I have no idea, Rueida, I have no
idea how to pronounce this in l A Lebanese American woman.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Oh yeah, it's Thaida. I am an independent uh and
I'm sick and tired of voting in LA and California,
because I know they always cheat. Our vote doesn't count.
It's horrible here. My house gut trapped three times within
(35:18):
the jewlry district. We can act, we're scared to put
our merchandise in the showcases because they come smash and
grab and take the windows. It's horrible. Zombies land, you
can say, homeless, stealthy. We have to put a mask
when we walk in from our parking to the business
(35:41):
just because of the smell. And I just don't believe
that they voted again for these clowns here.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
When did it start to I love that you you
have a business, Sorry to cut you off. When did
you notice that it started to get worse. I'm assuming
that things were better. When did it start to get worse?
Speaker 5 (35:59):
I say. I would say, like maybe the last few
years I've been here, since eighty.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Four, it wasn't that bad.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
We achieved the American dream. Everything was kind of okay.
But I feel it's getting worse day by day, and
we don't We're stuck. I would love to leave La,
but my family here, our roots are here, and the
last thing she's allow me to say that as an immigrant,
(36:30):
I'm sick and tired of them looking at us with
the charts of color. They call us like brown people,
like brown black people, whatever it is. I'm sick and
tired of them saying America as racist. It's not. It's
the country that accepted us with an open heart. And
(36:52):
I love this country. It's the best country in the world,
and I'm sick and tired of them saying that it's
racist country.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Him to me, guy, thank you so much for that call.
We're going to continue buck to take l a callers.
That was fantastic from her, uh and we will continue
to get as mally.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
You can tell her. Shukram Shakram Habibi
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Monday edition of Clay and Bock kicks off. Now, thanks
for being here with us, everybody. Hope you had a
fantastic weekend. We've got more of the Scott Pelly fallout.
He is posting yachting or perhaps schooner photos of himself
to show he stands in solidarity with the people. So
(00:26):
we'll have that conversation coming up in a bit. More
on Graham Plattner, and that'll be a thing that we
have to do with the LA mayors race slash governor's
race for California not looking so good right now. The
late ballots coming in are too many, suspiciously suspiciously favoring
(00:50):
the Democrats by a lot, by huge, huge margins. We
can discuss how that is looking, and we've got more
on all this. But also I have to note for
all of you there is a fellow who will be
joining us, assuming all happens as scheduled, which we never know,
but there will be a fellow joining us named Robert
(01:12):
Van Winkle. And now you might be saying, who is
this Robert van Winkle? Is he an esteemed conservative author.
Is he a pundit of the first order?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Is he the heir of Rip van Winkle potentially could
be who knows?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh, oh, I'm sorry Vanilla Ice, Now you know who
I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Rip. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Robert van Winkle is in fact the given name of
a mister Vanilla Ice. For those of you who came
of age, actually forget that. For any of you who
remember the nineties, this is going to be quite a
moment for all of us. In fact, Clay, I not
only celebrate Ice Ice Baby, which immediately the music video
(01:55):
comes up in my mind immediately, the refrain and stop up,
collaborate and listen is something that just it seered into
our brains. I actually saw a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles
Too Secret of the Ooze in theaters, and mister van
Winkle Vanilla Ice did the theme song for that.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Are you aware of that? Clay, I did not remember that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I also, did you need to say the name of
the The name.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It was Go Ninja, Go Ninja Go was the I
think it was Going Ninja was the song?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, I did go see all the teenage June Ninja
Turtle movies. I did not remember that. Vanilla Ice was
the soundtrack king there. But I was saying off air
as we were getting ready to come on, if you
had told me when Ice Ice Baby was the number
one song in America that one day I would meet
Vanilla Ice, and I think it counts as meeting that
(02:53):
we're gonna have him on the show. I would have
been ecstatic on a level that is that is crazy.
So I am looking forward to that interview. By the way,
we've also got the Governor of Indiana not to drown
him a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
But he's no Vanilla He might have some dance moves,
we don't know. He might talk to us, he could freestyle.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
He told us he would come on to talk about
the Chicago Bear situation, and it looks like the Chicago
Bears are moving to Indiana.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And then our friend Jennifer Say, who has the xx x.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Y product, great brand that has a crazy basis of existence,
which is men and women are different, and she is
going to talk with us. We're still waiting, remember for
the Supreme Court decision. I believe it's Idaho and West Virginia.
It's been challenged as to whether or not boys can't
(03:45):
compete in girls athletics in those state high school associations.
That opinion is still out there, but we will talk
with her. So we got a fun Monday program as
we as we roll through what did you want to begin?
First of all, Scott Pelley has given one of the
most ridiculous interviews of all time with sixty minutes. Graham Platner,
the LA Mayor Trump's going to be watching your beloved
(04:09):
New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden. What did
you want to Dealer's choice begin with?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Today?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
We'll certainly discuss the Knick situation. I will be watching
the game tonight because, like now so many New Yorkers,
I am a diehard Knicks fan once again after many
years of sadness and heartbreak. Now the Knicks are a
team not just worth rooting for, but they're a team
of destiny. They're a team of historic proportions, a team
(04:36):
that some are saying, if it were to win this championship,
which looks likely, they could be arguably the greatest performing
team in a single playoff slash final season of all time,
which is a remarkable situation, especially after all the years
where the New York Knicks were essentially a team of
(04:57):
castaway former stars with injuries, being overpaid and underperforming for
about twenty years. Now we have something else. I will
note that New York City, unfortunately in this moment, is
having such a brilliant there's really a sense of joy
and funnel the streets. And then unfortunately there was this
like lunatic who ran around stabbing people in Penn Station,
(05:19):
which is right where Madison Square Garden is, which is
right where President Trump will be at the game as well.
Is he going to the game tonight?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh yeah, game three tonight at Madison Square Garden. There's
lots of security for our wor listeners anyone in the
vicinity of Madison Square Garden, as one might imagine given
the threats on the President's life in the past, they
have a substantial barrier barricade that they have put up
that's more substantial than normal.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Speaking of the President, as we often do, he had
a little sit down with Meet the Press in Wisconsin
and Christian Welker, and we're just going to give you
a little a little taste of there's a few of
the of the key moments here. But Trump is still
(06:09):
very fired up about January sixth about the twenty twenty election,
and also this January sixth compensation fund, essentially the Anti
Weaponization Fund or a fund meant to begin the process
of the government making amends for those who were horrifically
treated because of their presence and in or around the
(06:29):
Capitol in January sixth. This is how this started. Exchange
was going viral over the weekend, play cut one.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
What they did to the lives of people, They destroyed people,
They sent people to jail who did nothing with it.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Just be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying,
but there's a lot about Todd Blent.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
To me, let's talk this tremendous evidence. There is nothing
but election was rigged. It was a dirty election. This
is happening again right now in dallafor happening right now
in California, right now, it's looking look at what's happening.
It's in California.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It's how they're not there.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me
tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close
to coming up.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's how they can.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You know why they're doing that, because they're cheating on
the election.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
What do you have evidence.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I have to do is look or to listen, and
I listen to people and let's see.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
What happens that's not evident. You think it's appropriate, that's
how they the votes.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You think it's appropriate that they have an election and
five days later they're nowhere close.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
To picking local officials acknowledge they are slow, they're.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Urging, they're crooked, they're urging the votes.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
To be counted.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Quicker.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You take that and run with it. Have fun.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Look, we said on this program, you go back and listen.
After the Tuesday night results came in, we said, it
looks good for UH our friends Spencer Pratt, and it
looks good for Steve Hilton. And we said that if
we were in LA and we were in California, those
(08:08):
are the choices we would have made.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
On a positive side, it.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Looks like Steve Hilton is going to continue to be
one of the top two contenders going forward and make
the runoff the Spencer Pratt data. He has gone from
second place very comfortably, way ahead of Nittya Raman to
as all of these mail in ballots continue to come in,
(08:34):
she has Nittya Raman has when people actually went and
voted imperfect in person, she had a fraction of the
support that she has gotten in the mail in ballots,
And I just think when you look at the data, Buck,
you're a data guy too. Sometimes you can look at
data and you can tell whether the data makes sense
(08:57):
or not.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And then, like.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Kristen Welker, come back and say, prove to me that
there is some form of cheating going on or some
form of the illegality going on. Let me take it
outside of the world of the of the election. If
I flipped a coin and every time it turned up
heads fifty one hundred, one hundred and fifty times in
(09:24):
a row, you might not be able to tell that
the coin is loaded. You might look at it and say, boy,
this really is just amazing it keeps coming up heads.
But statistical improbability is evidence of the fact that the
things are not on the up and up. And when
you look at the data coming in on how these
(09:44):
votes are occurring for the mail in ballots, I think
the data is clear that something is not right. And
I think the vast majority of you out there agree
with this. If the numbers had stayed relatively consistent, Buck,
maybe she does a little bit better in the mail
How in the world can you explain nobody shows up
(10:05):
to vote for her. She's crying on Tuesday night because
her outcome has been so bad, and then they just
keep getting more and more mail ballots, and she's getting
a higher percentage by far of the mail ballots than
even Karen Bass, and that Spencer Pratt is getting none
of them. If the percentages just don't add up in
any way, I think they want two left wingers running
(10:28):
for mayor because that way they can avoid Spencer Pratt
attacking Karen Bass, the incumbent. I think Karen Bass would
rather run against Ramen And I just think the data
at some point it's a little bit like steroids era
in baseball, when people who never hit fifty home runs
are hitting fifty home runs. You look at it and
you say, this doesn't add up. I think the same
(10:50):
thing happened with Joe Biden. I know you're not supposed
to talk about it. Everybody got canceled when you would
talk about it back in the day. I don't think
Joe Biden got eighty one million legal votes twenty twenty.
I think it's impossible to explain how he trounced Obama
two thousand and eight, how he trounced Hillary twenty sixteen,
and how he trounced Kamala twenty twenty four. I think
(11:11):
you just look at the data and say does this
add up to me?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I don't know if you want to come as aggressive
as I just did, but I just I look at
it and I say, sometimes you can just analyze the
data and say this doesn't happen on the up and up.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Well, let's let's take a look when we come back, Clay,
as part of this, if you want, we can look
at some of the true and clear vulnerabilities. And for
people who like Kristen Welker, who will say, oh, but
the data of the data, part of the problem is
that the way that this is set up, it is
very hard to get the data to prove a fraud,
as in the fraud becomes almost unprovable. And I think
(11:48):
that is by design, right, because if you have no
real like this where well let's get into a chain
of custody and all these different things in the ballots.
But Clay, real quick, let's just let everyone hear this. This,
this is that we played at the beginning of it.
This is how this interview Trump had with Kristin Welker
ended cut to enjoy.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
That's how they y.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Crooked it, just like your crooked.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Your press is crooked, and Meet the presence crooked.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
To be fair, I'm not crooked, but really, well, you.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Play right into their hands.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Zone.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into
their hands with this strap. You know that these elections
are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know that I won.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
An election in a landslide and I got ninety four
percent bad press. You know why I got it because
you have no credibility.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But you've never presented evidence there was rigged.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Let's keep talking about. I want to talk about talk.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You have more evidence, there's more evidence than ever presented.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Let's talk.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Your elections in this country were like a third world country, Sir,
Your elections are crooked, and your crooked and meets the
press is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN,
your one sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I've had enough.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
President, Let's please.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I traveled all the way to Wisconsin, I.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Know, on and off in the rain, and I've given
you enough time, you would to straightened out. You pressed
because you know what, mister country can never be great travel.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the year.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I love everything about this. First of all, all the
way to Wisconsin. She didn't go to the middle of
you know, an antarctic.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
In the interview, it's she she.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Was probably on a private plane from New York City
or d C to UH to Milwaukee. It probably took
what an hour and ten minutes of her time. I mean,
all the way to Wisconsin to me is actually a
little bit telling because it is evidence that if you're
not on the East or the West coast, you might
as well be in the hinter lands. But I love
(13:56):
Trump just getting worked up as the interview went on
and on, and I don't blame him. Look, this is
much of what's happening in LA right now. I think
echoes for him what he saw happen in twenty twenty.
You talked about how it's not only that they do this,
it's that they take glee in telling you there's nothing
improper about what's going on. This is just how democracy works.
(14:16):
And they lecture you and they make you sound like
you're the moron for sitting around and saying, wait a minute,
this seems awfully suspicious and I got, I mean, so
many thoughts about this, but I think it ties in
with Pelly. We're gonna have some fun.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
We'll talk about Scott Pelley in little bits because he
was on his schooner, very upset at what's happened to
sixteen minutes. All you can do is talk like that,
and dumb people think he reminds me of Murphy Brown.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Do you remember the gym character on Murphy Brown that
was like a fit, like making like the old school.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Do you remember that show?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I know it's Monday, it's a little early for shots, Clay,
but like, I'm a little too young for that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It was good. Throw it out there. Oh that's not
poss that's impossible.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Clay's like, you remember that show Mash when it started?
I'm like, no, actually, play, I do not remember it
when that began. That's you, all right. The latest large
scale data breach has affected some five million plus Carnival
Cruise customers. This time around, cyber hackers got a hold
of names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, driver's license,

in mid April, and cruise customers started hearing about this
just in the past few weeks. And look, it's not
just Carnival Cruise as happens to It happens to big

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Headed towards our buddy Vanilla Ice at the top of
the next hour, which I cannot wait for, and I
want to open up phone lines. Let's cross these out
if we could. I'd like to hear from LA Area residents,
from people that are listening to us right now and
voted in the LA mayor's race during the course of
(16:39):
today's program, What are the conversations like in your community
right now? And you didn't have to vote for Spencer Pratt,
but maybe you voted for Karen Bass, maybe you voted
for Nitya Rahman. Probably not a lot of you who
are listening right now did, but I feel like buck
I saw our friend Jess Kelly tweeting about this, that
(17:02):
they have lost the ability to restrict us from pointing
out things that don't add up. And I feel that
in the wake of twenty twenty and after everything that
happened with COVID, there is much less of a reticence
from so many people to simply acknowledge what is in
front of us and the fact that it smells rotten.
What's the line from Hamlet, Something is rotten in Denmark,
(17:26):
something's rotten in the counting in California and in many
other left wing jurisdictions, and it's incumbent upon all of us.
I think to call it out and speak clearly about
it and just make it more reliable. I just the
fact that we're going to be counting four weeks and
that we just had after five days a change, and
who's allowed to advance to the runoff. I think everybody's
(17:49):
furious and we're not going to stand for it. And
I'll tell you to take it. Sorry, go ahead, that's right,
I'll tell you. But we will be happy to take

Speaker 1 (19:00):
We'll take some.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Calls this weekend as we get to it. I just
have to take a moment here to note that Scott
Pelley is sort of like a super douche built from
assembling the parts of one hundred lesser douches. He may
be the world champion of juchiery at this point.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
He is.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Really leaning into his role here as say, first of
all his whole I'm I've been in combat. Wow, you
have not been in combat. I've been in a combatant
role technically, and I was not in combat.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
That's a different thing.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Meaning if you're a combatant, if you're carrying guns and
you're not like covered under you know, I'm a journal rules, right,
but you know, if you're a contractor and you're carrying guns,
I think technically or at least, you are a combatant.
Although the enemy would treat all of us like combatants,
so it doesn't really matter. But in combat, is you're
actually there to fight and doing fighting, that's a whole
different thing. He was never that, that is for sure.
(20:03):
And Scott Pelly has really become the I think it's
the last gasp of the overpaid, pompous TV news anchor
who thinks that they are some essential part of the republic.
And here he is. He has cut seven. If you
were wondering, could he be a more narcissistic jerk than
(20:24):
what we've already seen, the answer is yes.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Indeed, Play seven.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Said you were part of this gang of stupid, crooked
people that don't care about your country.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Stupid, I can take that stiff. Yeah, probably don't care
about the country. I've never worn the uniform, but I've
been in combat for this country in Afghanistan. Andrew rock Kuwait,
been shot at, spent nights in fox holes, filling up
(20:53):
with water in the desert.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I'm not aware that.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
The President of the United States has ever done any
of those things for his country. Please correct me if
I'm wrong. You become a journalist because you love the
First Amendment. You become a journalist because you love the country.
And while all the other descriptions that the President used
about me might be applicable, not that one. There is
(21:19):
no democracy without journalism. It can't be done, and that
is why I am a journalist.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Journalism. Just a little quick history for everyone. There's so
much here for First of all, Clay Trump got shot, Yeah,
not shot at, although that was part of it.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
He actually took.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
A bullet for his country and stood up and basically
said bring it, communists, scum, and Scott Pelley wants to
play the.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Who's more of a badass game? I'd Clay.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I was there man on some of these bases when
the fancy journals from CNN and ABC would say they
were vis they had their special tours, everything was safe,
they had a giant PSD. This notion, he acts like
he was on the Western Front in World War One
or something.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He's like I was in a trend show. This guy.
I couldn't even listen to that thing without wanting to vomit.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
In general, I'm not sure any profession praises itself more
than journalists praise themselves. I mean, in all seriousness, I
was thinking about this as I watched that clip. You know,
before we started doing this show, Buck, I hadn't spent
that much time around Special Forces guys, the most badass
(22:40):
people on the planet who put their lives on the
line the door kickers of the world.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
They're incredibly humble. They never talk about themselves like Scott
Pelley talked about himself in that ridiculous clip. He thinks
that he is one of the heroes of the United
States because he happened to be on a show that
(23:08):
came on right after the NFL game's end, when people
haven't changed the channel yet, and so as a result,
Sixty Minutes has a big audience. I just I'm not.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Sure that there are that there are any people in
America that are less self aware than those multimillion dollar
journalists who have the cushiest jobs on the planet and
basically exist to fulfill left wing propaganda. There's also the
clipbuck where he said, Barry Weiss asked them, why would
(23:42):
you potentially be considered as untrustworthy? I don't know if
we have that clip as part of this too. And
he just couldn't even comprehend that the American public saw
sixty Minutes journalists as being left wing?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Can I can?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I also, just Clay, just when you think this guy
could not be more melodramatic and really his that is
his job. For a long time, his job has just
been melodramatic, to do a certain kind of voice and
have a certain kind of face.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Reading off of a teleprompter. That's he's an actor, basically, Yes,
he's an actor.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Okay, Yes, even that clip that we plagued, you could
tell he was working himself up as an actor.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
And here he is. If you want to talk about melodrama,
remember this guy. He's gonna spend the rest of his days,
you know, at Nantucket doing like story time for a
bunch of billionaires when they have some kind of a
you know, film festival or something there. Like, he's just
gonna be hanging out. The guy is super rich. He's
already had his career. His kids are said, his grandkids
(24:52):
are said. I'm assuming his kids. I don't know, but
you know, he's fine. Okay, time to move on, buddy.
The dinosaurs don't get to rule the world anymore. You're
done your time in media. It's over. And instead of
just taking it like a man and actually being grateful,
showing some gratitude for being incredibly lucky and incredibly overpaid,
Clay he says that being asked to well, being fired
(25:14):
from sixty minutes, which he demanded essentially by acting like
a lunatic.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It's like watching your spouse be murdered. Play eight.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Well, if we want to talk about it at an
emotional level, the best thing that I can imagine in
terms of describing it is that it's it's like your
spouse was murdered. There's some moments of the day I
feel fine. There are some moments of the day that
I just frankly fall apart when I least expect it.
(25:47):
Not that there's any particular trigger, but I do want
to be clear that I do not feel sorry for me.
I don't care about me. I'm fine. I care about
out these people that I left behind, the people who
are still trapped there.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
He's a lunatic. First of all. The whole thing is
feel sorry for me.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Your spouse was murdered, like on the list of the
worst things that could possibly happen to a human being
on the planet. That and maybe your kid being like,
that's it, right, I mean, these are the worst.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You were asked or you.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Were told to leave your super cushy, multimillionaire job after
twenty something years, you can go do whatever you want.
You're rich beyond words, and you want to solve the
cry big tears for you. This guy just shows you
if you were watching this guy for years and like, oh,
you know he's a patriot of great American and this
guy's moron.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Honestly so his dad rather by the way, but I
knew that he pulled the gun and pulled the trigger.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
He could have just kept his job if he had
merely been willing to meet with his new boss, if
he had just not told his new boss in a
public meeting, you're unqualified.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
You're going to murder this show.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
All he had to do was meet with his boss,
and he would have kept making millions of dollars a year.
He caused the situation that he's now comparing to the
murder of his wife. We also have more ridiculous clips.
(27:31):
This is cut nine. This is him talking about Barry Weiss.
I have you met Barry Weiss before Buck? She is
now basically in charge of the show. I think we had.
I know we had the spouse. I don't know if
Barry on the show.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
No, maybe we just had. I met her.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I met her right before the shooting started at the
White House Correspondence dinner. Otherwise I have not ever interacted
with her. So when I'm prefacing that by saying we're
not in the tank for her, But I think it's
fair to say that CBS News is broken and that
sixty minutes has become increasingly less relevant in the modern era.
(28:07):
Yet here he is teeing off, still on her cut nine.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Do you think Baarwise needs to be removed?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Oh gosh, yes.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Look, she's a lovely person and her free press organization
that she founded has been very successful. She's proven that
great for her. The television's not her thing. She brings
an ideology into CBS News where that is just anathema,
(28:42):
and so it's a terrible fit. She doesn't know television,
she doesn't understand how it works. She doesn't have management
experience for a large organization like CBS News. So yes,
I do think that we would be far better off
without her.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
He's like, you know Moneyball, you see Moneyball out?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Oh yeah, of course you have.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Many times, he's the belligerent sports agent who's like, you know,
you got fifty years of baseball knowledge in here, you're
listening to the wrong guy, remember.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
That, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, way of the of
the news stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's like, dude, you're done, You're the way that you've
done things has not been working. This is very obvious
that waiting to doing nothing but declining. You've been given
all this stuff on a silver platter, and you can
either adapt or be be retired if you will. And
he chose. He chose door number two, and now he
wants to cry about it. Also, what ideology. Barry Weiss
(29:40):
is not a Republican. She is not right wing, and
she's not conservative. She's just not racic woke. Yeah, and
that's too much for him to handle. I would also
just point this out again. I think it ties in
with his way that he described journalism. Television is not
com implicated. It is not a complicated business. As these things.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Go to do.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You can learn how to do television. Someone out there,
every single one of you out there listening to us
right now, would have an idea what the top stories
of the day should be on a television program.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
There's this great.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Adam Carolla scene where he talks in his comedy act Buck,
which I think applies here, where he talks about the
fact that no one acting actors and actresses. And again,
to your point, this guy is basically just an actor.
They think what they do is incredibly difficult. But no
one ever There's tons of girls that got jobs because
(30:45):
of the Harvey Weinstein stuff. Right, no one ever got
to fly a plane because they slept with the pilot. Right,
Like if your job is no one gets to go
do neurosurgery because they happen to be sleeping with the doctor. Right.
If the job is such that you can get it
and people don't even know you got it because of
(31:06):
who you slept with, it's not that hard of a job.
What Scott Pelley does. He should be so incredibly thankful
and filled with gratitude because there are a thousand people
in media that could have done his job at the
exact same level, many of whom could have done it
far better.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
But you and.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I I've never done sixty minutes. I would guarantee you,
I would put every dollar I have on the table
that both you and I could do Scott Pelley's job
better than Scott Pelly did his job at I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Klay Travis as the executive producer of sixty Minutes with
Sidney Sweeney as the main anchor, he's going to do great, Right, We're.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Gonna be hot rating, We're gonna be high coming out
of the NFL. When I put Sidney Sweeney behind the
sixty minutes anchor desk, I'm probably much higher than they
are now.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
We'll get some of your calls here in a second team,
so stay with us. Let's talk about the Preborn Network
of Clinics. This is an a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to
saving the lives of unborn children. It's a small but
mighty staff of dedicated people. This past year, they saved
the lives of seventy thousand babies in the womb. When
a woman walks into one of Preborn's clinics, she's welcomed
(32:14):
with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound,
and for the first time she sees life not lost,
and she's offered hope filled choices. When she chooses preborn
preborn con I'm sorry, chooses life. Preborn continues walking with
her for up to two years after the baby's born,
so that means maternity, closed, diapers, counseling, job placements, so
much more. Preborn takes the pregnant mom into account, but
(32:38):
also welcomes the father of this unborn child too, As
the decision is often made by both the mother and father.
There are hundreds of thousands of parents to be in
the situation today. If you have the means, please make
a donation. Your gift of twenty eight dollars or an
ultrasound experience for one of these moms could so clearly
make the difference between life and abortion for a tiny
(32:59):
baby in the womb right now, and for some.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Of you you could afford two hundred and eighty dollars.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That kind of a gift would help ten ultrasounds right now,
ten ultrasounds. It's one hundred percent tax deductible. By the way,
using your cell phone dial pound two five zero, say
the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby.
Or visit preborn dot com, slash buck, preborn dot com
slash b u c K. All gifts are tax deductible,
and Preborn is a five star rated charity sponsored by Preborn.
Speaker 1 (33:37):

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I'm gonna run through a bunch of these calls.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
We got a ton of callers in LA that want
to weigh in as the counting on that vote in
the mayor's race and also in the governor's race statewide continues.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Let's start with let's see you, Josh in LA. What
you got for us? Good morning, fire away. I gotta
be fast. What you got?
Speaker 8 (34:29):
Just sad that we're watching them obviously manipulate this vote,
and you know they're just with no shame, just counting
votes and all of them are are going the way
that they wanted and inching out any Republican chance from
the general election.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
And thank you for the call.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Ryuda Rayeida, I have no idea, Rueida, I have no
idea how to pronounce this in l A Lebanese American woman.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Oh yeah, it's Thaida. I am an independent uh and
I'm sick and tired of voting in LA and California,
because I know they always cheat. Our vote doesn't count.
It's horrible here. My house gut trapped three times within
(35:18):
the jewlry district. We can act, we're scared to put
our merchandise in the showcases because they come smash and
grab and take the windows. It's horrible. Zombies land, you
can say, homeless, stealthy. We have to put a mask
when we walk in from our parking to the business
(35:41):
just because of the smell. And I just don't believe
that they voted again for these clowns here.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
When did it start to I love that you you
have a business, Sorry to cut you off. When did
you notice that it started to get worse. I'm assuming
that things were better. When did it start to get worse?
Speaker 5 (35:59):
I say. I would say, like maybe the last few
years I've been here, since eighty.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Four, it wasn't that bad.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
We achieved the American dream. Everything was kind of okay.
But I feel it's getting worse day by day, and
we don't We're stuck. I would love to leave La,
but my family here, our roots are here, and the
last thing she's allow me to say that as an immigrant,
(36:30):
I'm sick and tired of them looking at us with
the charts of color. They call us like brown people,
like brown black people, whatever it is. I'm sick and
tired of them saying America as racist. It's not. It's
the country that accepted us with an open heart. And
(36:52):
I love this country. It's the best country in the world,
and I'm sick and tired of them saying that it's
racist country.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Him to me, guy, thank you so much for that call.
We're going to continue buck to take l a callers.
That was fantastic from her, uh and we will continue
to get as mally.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
