Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome again Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. For those of
you who are like me and obsessed with March madness,
Michigan State has the lead on Mississippi State at the
half thirty one to twenty four. I have been Ducaine
is also playing BYU. I imagine a lot of you,
particularly in our Salt Lake City market, are paying a
(00:27):
lot of attention to that game. BYU has been to
more NCAA tournaments without making a Final four than any
team in the entirety of college basketball. Sorry for the
salt in the wounds BYU fans both bittersweet there a
little bit. I would say, I am deluged with people
who also went to school where they got to watch
(00:50):
the NCAA tournament during the course of the school day.
But I just went downstairs to talk with Katie, who
is my assistant and tries to keep me from creating
any more messes than I ordinarily do.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
She has got James.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Those of you who have watched the video feed know
that James sometimes makes appearances. Buck brings a puppy onto
the screen to try to make people like him more.
I will sometimes wave at you with a baby on
my lap.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
She says. They didn't get to do that in Winter Park, Florida.
So I maybe this is actually just a sign that
school has not taken.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That seriously in many Many of our audience and a
lot of you who are reacting to me saying the
same thing probably did not go to elite academic institutions either.
But my entire Twitter feed right now I just checked
is deluged with people who said that their teachers also
did that as well.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So did you have the sick day substitute teacher videos
that were all made it seemed in nineteen seventy two
or something that they would put on like here's that's
how Adams work, Like, did you have this? I don't really, no,
I don't remember these educational videos. Oh, when we had
substitute teachers, they would roll in the they would roll
in the TV literally rolling in because it was on
(02:11):
like a sort of a wheeled cart, and we would
watch these old videos. So, you know, I was in
school in the early nineties and these videos were clearly
made twenty years before.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But you didn't have that. Well there you go. So now,
although I did. I did. I think learn how to
drive a car.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Back in the day, there was like old VHS tapes
that we were supposed to watch to learn how to
drive a car. But I don't remember that. I thought
you were going to go with I bet this is
the number one sick day in America this Thursday and
this Friday. There are tons of you out there listening
to us right now who are on your lunch breaks,
and you're like you're throwing up the peace sign. You
(02:47):
are out for the rest of the day, because I
think this is the best four days on the American
sports fan calendar. And there are a lot of you
out there that are going to be listening to this
on podcasts. Potentially. This was never thing. You never skip
school to even think about watching the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Clay, my dad asked these questions. You ask these questions,
you know the answer. I did not watch. I mean,
my school had sixteen hundred students for college, like we was.
We were lucky. We had enough people to fill out
the badminton team. Like no one cared about college athletics really,
so yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Different we would.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I would get to stay home from school sometimes a
little bit of a fake sick day, and I bet
a lot of you are doing that as well. So
that is going on right now n Cuba tournament underway.
I wanted to hit you with this because I do
think Biden is desperate. We played you like, hey, I'm
trying to get latinos to support me. I didn't read
(03:44):
Axios this morning saying and people say, Okay, we get
these questions, why do you pay attention to that particular
media outlet or whatnot? Axios to me is a place
where they will sometimes talk democrats with each other and
share things that they think are important that worry them
(04:06):
in an effort to try to get things moving in
a direction that they are happier with. And the lead
story in Axios Buck, I was kind of surprised that
they were rolling in this direction was that Joe Biden's
team is particularly nervous about what's going on in Nevada,
(04:27):
that they feel like they could lose the White House
and they could lose the Senate in Nevada because and
we know a lot of you are listening to us
in that state right now, the unemployment rate is high,
the cost of fuel is high, and it has been
a battleground, and the Biden people told Axios, which again
(04:48):
I'm kind of stunned sometimes to see this, They said,
at best, it's a toss up right now. Now, why
do I point out the state of Nevada, because that
isn't even a state that we would typically associated with
being a toss up.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Let me read you this book. Biden allies believe.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
This is from Axios that of the six swing state,
every six swing states, everybody's watching. Nevada, which Biden won
by two points in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Is especially tough.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Republicans have made games with Latino voters and people without
college degrees, which are big voting blocks in the state.
Economic trends are bleak, nation's highest unemployment rate in Nevada
right now five point three percent. Average gas prices third highest,
behind only California and Washington. Home prices have grown six
(05:44):
times faster than wages in the state of Nevada since
twenty eleven, and buck listen to this. Senior Biden officials
have told outside allies their internal data has the race
much more closer than last time. They only won by
two Their own internal data has it much closer. That's
(06:07):
a sign they're losing. In fact, quote, it's basically a
jump ball right now with a lot of undecided voters.
Set a person familiar with the Biden campaigns thinking, right
now Trump is in the lead, and they're concerned that
the Senate race they're going to lose there as well.
(06:27):
So I just thought this was interesting because we focus
a lot Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona, five states
that Biden won, all very narrowly, but not as much
talk about Nevada. Necessarily, this could be a and is
I believe, a major battleground, And I just think it's
(06:49):
telling that the Biden people are so nervous that even
Axios is reporting that they're behind effectively right now. If
your campaign says it's basically jump ball, that probably means
your internal polling shows that you're losing.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Had you ever heard of Ryan Binkley before? Do you
know who this?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
He's on the pole.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Didn't he run for like the like he got voso.
I remember noticing it in Iowa or something.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Because the first time I ever noticed his name, and
because he's he's on he was on the ballot in
This is why I'm thinking of this technically in uh
in Nevada, right, which Trump won.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Trump won by a.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Like a Turkmenistan dictator level ninety nine percent in the primary,
and which is what he should have won by.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
But I'm just saying, like Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, that's where Nicky Haley lost the caucus against nobody
on the ballot, remember, like, because they had the caucus
split with the primary and Trump went I think I'm
correcting this primary, Nicky Haley went caucus. They may be reversed,
but Nicky Haley lost to someone else, meaning like no
candidate chosen in that kind of split situation in Nevada.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'm just wondering, what's the I guess it's because shows
like this perhaps will be like, wait, who's Ryan Bink?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I legitimately never heard of him.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
He's managed to get on the ballot in a bunch
of these places.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
He was on the ballot.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I'm pretty sure he was on the ballot in Florida
because there was a name that I didn't recognize. I said,
wait a second, And you know, when I was sitting
there and I was giving Asa Hutchinson that good long
look for the I'm just I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Before he started yelling at me. But you know I did.
I told everybody. I was the only person I.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Did tell you, right, I was the only person thought
yesterday you were the only person voting in Miami Beach
and I was at your place.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
And when you have fifteen people that are all watching
you when you enter a room because there's nobody else
to look out of the room, there's this weird feeling
of like, am I going to trip?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You know, like it just sort of felt like very awkward.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
But yeah, this guy Binkley managed to get on the
ballot in Nevada as well, And back to what actually matters.
I'm just wondering what this guy's move is, like, why
why would you want to get He got five hundred votes,
which I guess people just thought it was kind of
a fun not.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'll vote for this guy. I've never heard it before.
Maybe he's got some family members there.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Nevada I think looks pretty good for Trump.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
And it's interesting because Biden is, I believe, worried about
the Hispanic vote, which are in most of the In
most of the important states for the election, the two
racial constituencies that are are determining the election outcome are
black voters, white and white voters. Right, you look at Georgia,
(09:28):
you look at North Carolina, you know you look in
in Michigan. I mean, go down the go down the
list of Pennsylvania Latino voters. As much as they're a
large voting block, they tend not to be in large
numbers in the states that are really in play, like
you don't have a huge Latino population, Correct me if
I'm wrong, In like Wisconsin, for example, I mean, it's
(09:50):
not going to determine.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Now Michigan is so tight that the Muslim.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Population there may play a role, which obviously we've talked
about as it obtains to Biden.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But the exception to this is Nevada.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Where the Latino population is robusting off on its own
as a voting block. That that's something that the Biden
White House is going to have to be thinking about.
And that's why here we go. This is Biden yesterday.
I think also at this Latino restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona,
I think we're all pretty confident Arizona's going to go
red this time. But we'll see where he was telling
(10:23):
everybody that Trump despises Latinos.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
But beyond that, Biden says that he understands Latino values
because Joe Biden is just, you know, a blaspanol Joe Biden,
he's so in touch with the Latino community.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Play thirteen plenty the mass deportations of minerally seven million
people who are here in the country, seven million people.
Do you want to end birt right citizenship?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Now?
Speaker 7 (10:49):
This kuy despised in Latinos. And I understand Latino values.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Biden, I understand Latino values. Sure, sure you do, buddy,
Sure you do.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
This is going to be really difficult.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And if I were to Trump team, I would be
having a lot of fun right now with the breakfast
taco line from Joe Biden and the fact that they
are going to try to trot out Joe Biden that
I hope he doesn't start trying to speak Spanish because there's.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
A level of cloying.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Sort of obsequiousness where and that that's, by the way,
incredible double words there. If you're a if you're a
vocab person, but where it just becomes embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
You just throw employing obsequiousness on back on five hundred stations.
That may be a first.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Back to back I'm a vocab guy. I like like words.
We're talking about that in the first hour, but it
doesn't register. And again, to me, this race comes down
to can Democrats reverse the decline in Joe Biden's popularity
because the reason really Biden beat Trump was because people
(12:02):
liked him more than Trump. The numbers on Trump haven't changed,
Biden's likability numbers have collapsed, and so ultimately a lot
of people end up still voting. I believe this on
who do they like better, and they can't really explain
or verbalize it.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I think it's going to be very hard.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Given seventy five percent of the American population doesn't believe
Biden has the mental or physical fitness to be president,
I think it's gonna be hard to reverse that likability.
But if seventy five percent of Americans think that Biden's
not fit enough to be president, you have to always
have an asterisk alongside that. And yet fifty percent of
Americans will vote for him. Right now, We're close to it,
(12:43):
right That's what does that tell you? It tells you
that the Biden doesn't have the mental acuity. Look, I
stand behind this, and there is that historical precedent of
Woodrow Wilson at the end of his term where his
wife was effectively the president because he was being kept
behind closed doors. They will vote for Biden if they
(13:05):
have to put him in a wheelchair with a blanket
across his knees and a little sippy cup with apple
juice on it. Like, they just don't care because they
view it as voting for the system of people. It's
you know, they think that he's almost like the chairman
emeritus of the Democrat Party, and that's how they can
justify it to themselves, right, that's the way that they
(13:25):
do it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
It's, Oh, it doesn't really matter that Joe Biden's in charge.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
If the people around him were super competent and realistic
and effective at doing good things for the country, I
could understand that the problem is Biden is the figurehead
who's meant to make people think the Democrat.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Party is more normal and mainstream than it is.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Right, Yeah, so Biden is a is a false flag
in a sense, a false flag of normalcy. It's the
a lot of them former Obama advisors and left wing
ideologues who are left to make a lot of the
key decisions for the Democrat Party. Who actually get to
run the show. That's the challenge there. We'll talk to
Uncle Bill about this. Bill, O'Reilly with us bottom of
(14:08):
this hours that's coming up here in just a few minutes.
Stick around for that. Always good to hear from Bill.
You know, we've talked a lot about saving babies on
this show, and that's because it's something that's deeply important
to me personally, and few organizations work harder to save
the lives of unborn babies than Preborn. This is how
they do it. They introduce moms to be to their
(14:29):
babies via an ultrasound because once mom hears that heartbeat
and sees that precious life growing inside of her, she
is twice as likely to choose life. Preborn receives no
government funding, so their work is completely dependent on us
the pro life community. Preborn has rescued over two hundred
and eighty thousand babies in the last eighteen years that
(14:50):
they've been in operation. Two hundred babies a day are
saved in these Preborn clinics in this way. So if
you have the means, would you consider I know this
is a big number, but there are people listening right now.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
One of you listening you listening right now. Someone can
do this a.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Leadership gift that would let you save babies in a
big way. A tax deductible donation of five thousand dollars
would fuel Preborn's entire network for twenty four hours. You'd
rescue about two hundred babies on average in this process.
Two hundred babies being brought into this world. Five thousand
(15:24):
dollars tax deductible donation makes it possible to donate. Dial
pound two five zero and say the keyword baby. That's
pound two fifty say baby, or donate securely at preborn
dot com slash buck that's preborn dot com slash b
u ck. Preborn has a one hundred percent charity rating,
(15:44):
so you can give with confidence. Sponsored by Preborn.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He's fuck Sexton, He's Clay travels.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Together, they're breathing sanity into an insane world.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
All right, welcome back in. You know, we don't often
talk to.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
You about the government shut down fight anymore because well,
nobody really wants to fight over shutting down the government.
It seems this is well, I shouldn't say nobody. We'll
talk about a few people who do. But it looks
like they are approaching a fund. The government action here
(16:25):
going to be spending more of your money, money that
we do not have. Senator Ran Paul not happy about
this here, he is this is cut fifteen. He's just
pointing out something, which is that the country does not
have the money to keep spending the money that it spends.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Play it when.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Isn't really about the process of whether it's Friday or
Saturday or Sundays, whether or not someone stands up and
says the emperor has no clothes. The country has no money.
That is my point.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
One of the concerns I have is with this is
for our member friends who are planning to vote for
the Bell and don't.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Need seventy two hours to decide.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
You're going to vote for some two thousand pages that
spends a trillion dollars and has policies you don't even
know what's in there and what's not in there.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
You guys should shut it down.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I do one.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
They're not gonna shut it down.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
They're gonna spend a trillion dollars and they're going to
have a thousand pages and everyone's just going to vote
for their little piece of it. And it's just the
uniparty doing what it does, Clay.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
We're thirty five trillion dollars in debt, and we are
going to be in the next ten twenty years sixty million,
sixty trillion dollars in debt.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
And it's just.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
As if people have decided, oh, this doesn't matter at all.
And I understand there are a lot of things out
there that are long range concerns, there is nothing that
compares in my mind to the danger that we're all
in from an economic situation of being thirty five trillion
(17:54):
dollars in debt and continuing to add to it every
single day. And I hate a downer, but this is
something that feels like a looming asteroid that is coming
towards the United States at a hurtling rate of speed.
For twenty years, video cameras were the thing. Families couldn't
get one fast enough. Remember when the prices started coming down.
Remember how Dad and Mom walk around with that big
(18:15):
video camera up on the shoulder. You could buy videotapes
cassettes anywhere. Probably were like me. You'd use the same
video tape to record a bunch of different episodes of
your favorite shows.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
We had a lot of.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
WrestleManias back in the day, and then you'd record over them,
and then you might have started to notice that at
some point that video tape began to fray. It wasn't
designed to last forever. Well, how many of you have
video cassettes with priceless family memories on right now? You
don't even have a VCR anymore? Have you thought about
how to preserve those family memories on the digital tapes forever?
(18:51):
Go ahead and get hooked up right now. VHS tapes
transferred digitally forever for nine dollars a piece, sixty five
percent and off legacybox dot com, slash Clay, legacybox dot com,
slash Clay. Welcome back in Bill O'Reilly joins us now
no spend news Bill O'Reilly dot com. The upcoming book
(19:12):
Confronting the Presidents. New book's gonna come out in September.
And you got a great column up there that both
Buck and myself have read. And I saw some data
that came out that I think you will appreciate, Bill,
and we appreciate you coming on as always. Elon Musk
just tweeted he's being accused of being far right wing.
(19:35):
Here's what Elon Muck's Elon Musk just said, here's what.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I believe in. I'm quoting him.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Secure borders, safe and clean cities, don't bankrupt America with spending.
Racism against any race is wrong. There shouldn't be sterilization
below the age of consent.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Is this right wing? And to your point the column
that you wrote, Bill, I really it.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Resonated because anything that's not far left wing because we
have few and Buckets talked about this a lot too.
We have few conflicts of ideas, few debates that actually
take place now, so much of the media defines things
that are very centrist, very middle of the road, as
if they're far right. And I thought Elon Musk's tweet
(20:20):
that he sent out this morning was a really good
representation of that.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And also what you wrote about.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Well thanks driving back play. You know, we live in
a country which is distracted. That's where you have to start.
It's not like it was twenty five years ago, where
people got their information from newspapers and TV news. Now
the social media dominates, and if you can control what
(20:51):
is being said, you can mislead the entire country, or
at least stack the deck against a certain group. And
that's what's happening. So my column on Bill O'Reilly dot
com and I mentioned you and Buck as people who
routinely twenty five thirty years ago would have received invitations
(21:14):
to go on the late night shows to talk about
your successful radio franchise and what you believe. Now that
doesn't happen one hundred percent of the time. It's liberal
pundits or liberal politicians on the network shows. There are
three of them in the morning, five, and late night.
(21:35):
No one else gets an invitation, no matter how successful
your career is. Look, I am the most successful nonfiction
book writer in the world. I've appeared in the past
seventy eight times on network programs. Letterman Stewart Leno when
(21:56):
he was there. You guys know that. I mean only
you have to google. It stopped in twenty sixteen. As
soon as Trump got elected. The networks went ballistic. The
people who run them said, no one sympathetic or supporting
Donald Trump will appear on our network. And that is
(22:18):
held for eight years. And the result is that what
you just said, if you have a mainstream position like
Musk that we should have control over our borders, no
you're a racist, then no, no, you're against Hispanic people
and poor people. And that's what you hear from the
(22:39):
Cobears and the Kimmels and the morning people are a
little bit more reticent, but not much more, particularly NBC.
So people who don't follow the news, don't listen to
talk radio, don't watch my broadcasts or anything like that.
This is the only thing they hear is, yeah, that's right.
(23:01):
If you support limits on abortion, Oh you're a crank,
you're a missagynist, you're against reproductive rights. No, no, I
mean there are moderate positions, but they are being portrayed
as lunatic positions by these networks that control the flow
of information.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Hey Bill, it's fuck. I'm wondering.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I know it's months off and we a lot of
things can change, but I just am curious, as a
thought experiment that I've run on my own head, how
you would respond to this. It seems to be given
what you've said, and that's just a recitation of the facts,
right that they won't have Trump on. They've banned him
from social different social media platforms. Now he's got truth
(23:46):
social which looks like it's going to make him a
few billion dollars. But they've done things that have never
been done before where they've really decided a Republican presidential
candidate can be prosecuted and can be silenced in the
public square in ways that I think are egregious.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
But what are they going to do? Bill?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You see the numbers, you're following this every day. What
are they gonna do if he wins?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Bill Brood, what are they gonna do? They'll continue to
attack him. It's an addiction. Hating Trump is an addiction.
Now they're addicted to it. They can't stop. They have
to go to rehab. The stop. And the same thing
on the right. Hating Biden is an addiction too. I
hate him. Every day I get up, I hate him,
(24:34):
I go to bed, I hate him. But if Trump wins,
the corporate media then will sunk. But they won't change.
So you'll have the same presentations every night on the Colbert,
every morning on Good Morning America. Trumps an idiot. Look
(24:55):
what he did today. That's just the way our country
runs right now.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It just feels exhausting, though, But at any point to
the people that are I think rightly you said it's
an addiction, do they ever reach rock bottom of the
Trump addiction and realize they need help.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
No, because it's fun. It's like drug addiction. Taking drugs
is fun. That's why people take drugs. They want to
get high. So the people who hate Trump, they deal
with other people who hate Trump. It's like the Mickey
Mouse Club. Remember the Mickey Mouse Club. M I c
K E Y m o USC. Remember that it was fun.
You'd be a member of the Mickey Mouse Club. You
(25:33):
were litt leers. This is a member of the hate club,
hate Trump Club. So you go to lunch with people
who hate Trump. They go to sporting events with people
who hate Trump. They consume media and all those people
hate Trump, and it's fun for them to do it.
That's why they do it.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Bill, You and I have said on this show that
we don't think Joe Biden's going to be the nominating
Buck has been gloating recently. I think he might have
even mention that he's already starting to savor the taste
of the steak. That you're going to owe him, and
that I'm going to owe him and we're gonna have
to have a big meal.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Here. A couple of questions for you.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
One, do you think Biden is the nominee or do
you still think they pulled the switcheroo.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
And two, who do you think Trump is going to
pick as his VP?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I think the last time you were with us, Sarah
Huckabee Sanders was who you would have a bet on.
I'm curious if you would still stick there, how you
would analyze it.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Well. I didn't say I bet on her. I said
she would be the best person for him to select.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Okay, do you still think that she's the best person
for him at VP?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Yes, and it's not even close second. She would be
the best, but young family, I don't know whether she
would even do it. You don't hear her name rattled
around very much. As far as Biden's presence on the
ballot November, my prediction in yours looking a little dim.
(26:57):
But I continue to believe there are events going to
unfold between now and November that will tell will indicate
which way the election's going to go before election day.
And I don't know what they are. But as a historian,
as somebody who has followed the closest races in this
country since inception, he's usually a tipping point. Now, Joe
(27:24):
Biden is obviously not running anything, Okay, He's basically being
told what to do every day, and he doesn't even
do a lot. Maybe he's in the Oval office three
hours a day. Maybe for the last three days, he's
been on the road raising money, doing none of the
people's business. If you break down his schedule and the
(27:46):
White House puts it out every month, Biden spends about
thirty percent of his time working on helping the folks
in America. The other seventy percent is just bsque garbage.
And what they're doing now is they're just keeping him
away from everything. You can't get to him. I made
(28:09):
a point last night on News Nation. I do that
every Wednesday with Chris Cuomo and Plomo and the other
Democrats are always harping about Trump saying stupid things, and
he does say stupid things at times, There's no doubt
he does. But I looked in the camera and I said,
but Biden doesn't say anything. We're into his term almost
three and a half years. We still don't know why
(28:31):
he opened that border. He has never explained why he
did it and why he continues to sit there while
thousands of people cross every day. Why you can't even
get that answer out of that White House. That is
far more frightening to me as an American citizen than Trump,
(28:52):
you know, riffing at a rally. You know, you expect
that now from Trump. He's kind of like a heavy
metal rocker and he he's the myshkit and he just
gets repped up, insist anything. It doesn't really matter what
he says.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
But Bill, there's breaking news out there that the New
York Attorney General has taken steps to prepare to seize
Trump assets in New York, both in the city and Westchester.
Leaving aside the ridiculousness of all of these proceedings purely
from a political perspective, if the state of New York
(29:30):
seizes Trump assets, do you see that as a positive
for Trump in terms of how it will be portrayed
publicly and with his base and with swing voters, or
do you see it as a negative? How would you
analyze not the legality, just the politics.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
If people step back, independent voters step back, they'll see
the danger here that a federal or state government in
this case New York can ruin you. They can ruin you,
And what are you going to do about it? You
got fifty million to pay lawyers to defend your off.
Since some bogus charge. The Attorney General lives of you.
That's Trump. They could do it anybody, And if we
(30:07):
permit that in this country, then we're putin we're Russia.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Bill.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Do you think it's going to have a real effect
on the business climate broadly speaking in New York and California?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Probably too.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Here's the most important thing about this. This now leads
to a federal appeal. That's why the Trump lawyers want
this to happen. They want Lettercia James to start proceedings
to seize property because then they can get into the
federal system quicker and get a stay on that. That's
(30:40):
what's going on here, guys.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
But the question still stands. I mean, if you can't
get a fair trial in New York, if you're a
prominent Republican civil or criminal, I feel like people have
to make real decisions about where they're going to live
based on that.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Well, you don't live in New York. You guys don't
live in New York, right.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I left for Florida. I was having assets. Bill, I said,
you weren't you a shamanad guy? By the way, Bill,
I was a regius guy.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yeah, you're a shamanad guy. Which is you know, which
is pretty good? Pretty good?
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
I gotta I gotta ask you, yeah, good good spot.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
I saw Sean Hannity hitchhiking on the Long Island Expressway.
He's down in Florida. He's going I'm going south. Somebody
picked him up and he's down pump each He.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Spends a fair amount of time down there. But but
did you just before?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Let you go, Bill, and everyone should pick up Killing
the Witches. The latest one and also Confronting the Presidents
is going to be coming out this fall. We'll talk
to Bill more about that. Gonna Bill O'Reilly dot com
for the No Spin News also to buy his best
selling books. But just just one for you quickly here.
Bill Clay has this whole theory that or this reminiscence
I should say where they would roll TVs into the
(31:48):
room or something so you could watch the march madness
in high school? Or I did this ever happen at Shamanad?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Are you kitting me? If you were caught with a
transistor radio a Shamanad, you were do a gulag at.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Some yeah place.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
We had to say eighty five thousand hill Mary's I mean,
I look at the brother, I go, how many are
fathers who have to say now one hundred and forty thousand, Well,
we didn't have any of that. There was there was
Madness of Shamanad, but it wasn't March Madness.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
Sea Clay Sea Class Shamanad series the school where that
in radio anyway, although my social media mentions are filled
with people who are saying, yes, we also watched the
NCAA tournament back in the day during school days.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Not at the Catholic schools.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yeah, that happened probably after the Vietnam era when everything
changed in this country, but not for Buck in high
school in the sixties, there was none of that going on.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah, Clay, my school used to require ancient Greek and Latin,
both of them for everybody.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I didn't know they still taught Greek anywhere. Yeah they did.
They That is it should Greek. There you go, Bill

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
We got a lot to get into. By the way.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Next hour, Nick Adams, I think you're going to enjoy this,
calls himself in Alpha Male. He was very funny on
social media. I think you guys will enjoy that conversation.
Bill O'Reilly always really entertaining. Lori in Ashville, North Carolina,
wants to have my back here that I'm not crazy
and remembering things. Louri Channel one in the televisions. But
before we get to that, do you recall watching the
(35:00):
NCAA tournament in school?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
No?
Speaker 10 (35:04):
No, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
But my daughter, she's in sixth grade.
Speaker 10 (35:10):
She was in sixth grade during nine to eleven and
they rolled Channel one in on the TV and they
let all the kids watch nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
So it still existed. They were still doing Channel one.
This was like a twelve minute local I mean a
news broadcast. They gave televisions. It was a big deal.
I don't know if it still exists now, but we
watched it every day for like twelve minutes.
Speaker 10 (35:31):
It doesn't they would roll it in the morning and
the kids would watch all the news in the morning.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
That's right, that's right. I can't believe they did that.
Can you imagine? Thank you for the Callori, But can
you imagine today if somebody's business plan was we're gonna go.
I think the idea was, they gave televisions to all
of these public schools for free, and as the function
of getting all these televisions installed, you agreed to play
this twelve minute television news broadcast. Can you imagine if
(36:01):
they tried to do that today, if they were doing
a new minute.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
It sounds very it sounds very North Korea, to be
honest with you. So it's a little weird, honestly, I
would be.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I mean, the idea was, it's like a kid's broadcast,
and it was supposed to be sort of non partisan
down the middle.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
But it's wild. That's always never happens.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I know that you have like crazy Keith Olberman like
shouting at your fourth grader about, you know, Trump destroying
democracy or something be insane that.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Channel one I do.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
I I'll tell you, I've never even heard of this
thing before. I'm looking it up right now, never even
heard of it in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
So like a multi billion dollar business this guy built
and we would watch it every day. I mean, it's
where Anderson Cooper got his start. He was reporting from
I think Sarajevo or whatever back in the day. And
I think there are several people that got became, you know,
continued journalism careers based on this as they're entree to
(36:57):
know into journal.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Back to the present day and breaking. They're going after
Trump's assets. It's in court right now. We'll talk about it.
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome again Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. For those of
you who are like me and obsessed with March madness,
Michigan State has the lead on Mississippi State at the
half thirty one to twenty four. I have been Ducaine
is also playing BYU. I imagine a lot of you,
particularly in our Salt Lake City market, are paying a
(00:27):
lot of attention to that game. BYU has been to
more NCAA tournaments without making a Final four than any
team in the entirety of college basketball. Sorry for the
salt in the wounds BYU fans both bittersweet there a
little bit. I would say, I am deluged with people
who also went to school where they got to watch
(00:50):
the NCAA tournament during the course of the school day.
But I just went downstairs to talk with Katie, who
is my assistant and tries to keep me from creating
any more messes than I ordinarily do.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
She has got James.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Those of you who have watched the video feed know
that James sometimes makes appearances. Buck brings a puppy onto
the screen to try to make people like him more.
I will sometimes wave at you with a baby on
my lap.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
She says. They didn't get to do that in Winter Park, Florida.
So I maybe this is actually just a sign that
school has not taken.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That seriously in many Many of our audience and a
lot of you who are reacting to me saying the
same thing probably did not go to elite academic institutions either.
But my entire Twitter feed right now I just checked
is deluged with people who said that their teachers also
did that as well.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So did you have the sick day substitute teacher videos
that were all made it seemed in nineteen seventy two
or something that they would put on like here's that's
how Adams work, Like, did you have this? I don't really, no,
I don't remember these educational videos. Oh, when we had
substitute teachers, they would roll in the they would roll
in the TV literally rolling in because it was on
(02:11):
like a sort of a wheeled cart, and we would
watch these old videos. So, you know, I was in
school in the early nineties and these videos were clearly
made twenty years before.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But you didn't have that. Well there you go. So now,
although I did. I did. I think learn how to
drive a car.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Back in the day, there was like old VHS tapes
that we were supposed to watch to learn how to
drive a car. But I don't remember that. I thought
you were going to go with I bet this is
the number one sick day in America this Thursday and
this Friday. There are tons of you out there listening
to us right now who are on your lunch breaks,
and you're like you're throwing up the peace sign. You
(02:47):
are out for the rest of the day, because I
think this is the best four days on the American
sports fan calendar. And there are a lot of you
out there that are going to be listening to this
on podcasts. Potentially. This was never thing. You never skip
school to even think about watching the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Clay, my dad asked these questions. You ask these questions,
you know the answer. I did not watch. I mean,
my school had sixteen hundred students for college, like we was.
We were lucky. We had enough people to fill out
the badminton team. Like no one cared about college athletics really,
so yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Different we would.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I would get to stay home from school sometimes a
little bit of a fake sick day, and I bet
a lot of you are doing that as well. So
that is going on right now n Cuba tournament underway.
I wanted to hit you with this because I do
think Biden is desperate. We played you like, hey, I'm
trying to get latinos to support me. I didn't read
(03:44):
Axios this morning saying and people say, Okay, we get
these questions, why do you pay attention to that particular
media outlet or whatnot? Axios to me is a place
where they will sometimes talk democrats with each other and
share things that they think are important that worry them
(04:06):
in an effort to try to get things moving in
a direction that they are happier with. And the lead
story in Axios Buck, I was kind of surprised that
they were rolling in this direction was that Joe Biden's
team is particularly nervous about what's going on in Nevada,
(04:27):
that they feel like they could lose the White House
and they could lose the Senate in Nevada because and
we know a lot of you are listening to us
in that state right now, the unemployment rate is high,
the cost of fuel is high, and it has been
a battleground, and the Biden people told Axios, which again
(04:48):
I'm kind of stunned sometimes to see this, They said,
at best, it's a toss up right now. Now, why
do I point out the state of Nevada, because that
isn't even a state that we would typically associated with
being a toss up.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Let me read you this book. Biden allies believe.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
This is from Axios that of the six swing state,
every six swing states, everybody's watching. Nevada, which Biden won
by two points in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Is especially tough.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Republicans have made games with Latino voters and people without
college degrees, which are big voting blocks in the state.
Economic trends are bleak, nation's highest unemployment rate in Nevada
right now five point three percent. Average gas prices third highest,
behind only California and Washington. Home prices have grown six
(05:44):
times faster than wages in the state of Nevada since
twenty eleven, and buck listen to this. Senior Biden officials
have told outside allies their internal data has the race
much more closer than last time. They only won by
two Their own internal data has it much closer. That's
(06:07):
a sign they're losing. In fact, quote, it's basically a
jump ball right now with a lot of undecided voters.
Set a person familiar with the Biden campaigns thinking, right
now Trump is in the lead, and they're concerned that
the Senate race they're going to lose there as well.
(06:27):
So I just thought this was interesting because we focus
a lot Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona, five states
that Biden won, all very narrowly, but not as much
talk about Nevada. Necessarily, this could be a and is
I believe, a major battleground, And I just think it's
(06:49):
telling that the Biden people are so nervous that even
Axios is reporting that they're behind effectively right now. If
your campaign says it's basically jump ball, that probably means
your internal polling shows that you're losing.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Had you ever heard of Ryan Binkley before? Do you
know who this?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
He's on the pole.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Didn't he run for like the like he got voso.
I remember noticing it in Iowa or something.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Because the first time I ever noticed his name, and
because he's he's on he was on the ballot in
This is why I'm thinking of this technically in uh
in Nevada, right, which Trump won.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Trump won by a.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Like a Turkmenistan dictator level ninety nine percent in the primary,
and which is what he should have won by.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
But I'm just saying, like Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, that's where Nicky Haley lost the caucus against nobody
on the ballot, remember, like, because they had the caucus
split with the primary and Trump went I think I'm
correcting this primary, Nicky Haley went caucus. They may be reversed,
but Nicky Haley lost to someone else, meaning like no
candidate chosen in that kind of split situation in Nevada.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'm just wondering, what's the I guess it's because shows
like this perhaps will be like, wait, who's Ryan Bink?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I legitimately never heard of him.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
He's managed to get on the ballot in a bunch
of these places.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
He was on the ballot.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I'm pretty sure he was on the ballot in Florida
because there was a name that I didn't recognize. I said,
wait a second, And you know, when I was sitting
there and I was giving Asa Hutchinson that good long
look for the I'm just I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Before he started yelling at me. But you know I did.
I told everybody. I was the only person I.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Did tell you, right, I was the only person thought
yesterday you were the only person voting in Miami Beach
and I was at your place.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
And when you have fifteen people that are all watching
you when you enter a room because there's nobody else
to look out of the room, there's this weird feeling
of like, am I going to trip?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You know, like it just sort of felt like very awkward.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
But yeah, this guy Binkley managed to get on the
ballot in Nevada as well, And back to what actually matters.
I'm just wondering what this guy's move is, like, why
why would you want to get He got five hundred votes,
which I guess people just thought it was kind of
a fun not.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'll vote for this guy. I've never heard it before.
Maybe he's got some family members there.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Nevada I think looks pretty good for Trump.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
And it's interesting because Biden is, I believe, worried about
the Hispanic vote, which are in most of the In
most of the important states for the election, the two
racial constituencies that are are determining the election outcome are
black voters, white and white voters. Right, you look at Georgia,
(09:28):
you look at North Carolina, you know you look in
in Michigan. I mean, go down the go down the
list of Pennsylvania Latino voters. As much as they're a
large voting block, they tend not to be in large
numbers in the states that are really in play, like
you don't have a huge Latino population, Correct me if
I'm wrong, In like Wisconsin, for example, I mean, it's
(09:50):
not going to determine.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Now Michigan is so tight that the Muslim.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Population there may play a role, which obviously we've talked
about as it obtains to Biden.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But the exception to this is Nevada.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Where the Latino population is robusting off on its own
as a voting block. That that's something that the Biden
White House is going to have to be thinking about.
And that's why here we go. This is Biden yesterday.
I think also at this Latino restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona,
I think we're all pretty confident Arizona's going to go
red this time. But we'll see where he was telling
(10:23):
everybody that Trump despises Latinos.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
But beyond that, Biden says that he understands Latino values
because Joe Biden is just, you know, a blaspanol Joe Biden,
he's so in touch with the Latino community.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Play thirteen plenty the mass deportations of minerally seven million
people who are here in the country, seven million people.
Do you want to end birt right citizenship?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Now?
Speaker 7 (10:49):
This kuy despised in Latinos. And I understand Latino values.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Biden, I understand Latino values. Sure, sure you do, buddy,
Sure you do.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
This is going to be really difficult.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And if I were to Trump team, I would be
having a lot of fun right now with the breakfast
taco line from Joe Biden and the fact that they
are going to try to trot out Joe Biden that
I hope he doesn't start trying to speak Spanish because there's.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
A level of cloying.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Sort of obsequiousness where and that that's, by the way,
incredible double words there. If you're a if you're a
vocab person, but where it just becomes embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
You just throw employing obsequiousness on back on five hundred stations.
That may be a first.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Back to back I'm a vocab guy. I like like words.
We're talking about that in the first hour, but it
doesn't register. And again, to me, this race comes down
to can Democrats reverse the decline in Joe Biden's popularity
because the reason really Biden beat Trump was because people
(12:02):
liked him more than Trump. The numbers on Trump haven't changed,
Biden's likability numbers have collapsed, and so ultimately a lot
of people end up still voting. I believe this on
who do they like better, and they can't really explain
or verbalize it.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I think it's going to be very hard.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Given seventy five percent of the American population doesn't believe
Biden has the mental or physical fitness to be president,
I think it's gonna be hard to reverse that likability.
But if seventy five percent of Americans think that Biden's
not fit enough to be president, you have to always
have an asterisk alongside that. And yet fifty percent of
Americans will vote for him. Right now, We're close to it,
(12:43):
right That's what does that tell you? It tells you
that the Biden doesn't have the mental acuity. Look, I
stand behind this, and there is that historical precedent of
Woodrow Wilson at the end of his term where his
wife was effectively the president because he was being kept
behind closed doors. They will vote for Biden if they
(13:05):
have to put him in a wheelchair with a blanket
across his knees and a little sippy cup with apple
juice on it. Like, they just don't care because they
view it as voting for the system of people. It's
you know, they think that he's almost like the chairman
emeritus of the Democrat Party, and that's how they can
justify it to themselves, right, that's the way that they
(13:25):
do it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
It's, Oh, it doesn't really matter that Joe Biden's in charge.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
If the people around him were super competent and realistic
and effective at doing good things for the country, I
could understand that the problem is Biden is the figurehead
who's meant to make people think the Democrat.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Party is more normal and mainstream than it is.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Right, Yeah, so Biden is a is a false flag
in a sense, a false flag of normalcy. It's the
a lot of them former Obama advisors and left wing
ideologues who are left to make a lot of the
key decisions for the Democrat Party. Who actually get to
run the show. That's the challenge there. We'll talk to
Uncle Bill about this. Bill, O'Reilly with us bottom of
(14:08):
this hours that's coming up here in just a few minutes.
Stick around for that. Always good to hear from Bill.
You know, we've talked a lot about saving babies on
this show, and that's because it's something that's deeply important
to me personally, and few organizations work harder to save
the lives of unborn babies than Preborn. This is how
they do it. They introduce moms to be to their
(14:29):
babies via an ultrasound because once mom hears that heartbeat
and sees that precious life growing inside of her, she
is twice as likely to choose life. Preborn receives no
government funding, so their work is completely dependent on us
the pro life community. Preborn has rescued over two hundred
and eighty thousand babies in the last eighteen years that
(14:50):
they've been in operation. Two hundred babies a day are
saved in these Preborn clinics in this way. So if
you have the means, would you consider I know this
is a big number, but there are people listening right now.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
One of you listening you listening right now. Someone can
do this a.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Leadership gift that would let you save babies in a
big way. A tax deductible donation of five thousand dollars
would fuel Preborn's entire network for twenty four hours. You'd
rescue about two hundred babies on average in this process.
Two hundred babies being brought into this world. Five thousand
(15:24):
dollars tax deductible donation makes it possible to donate. Dial
pound two five zero and say the keyword baby. That's
pound two fifty say baby, or donate securely at preborn
dot com slash buck that's preborn dot com slash b
u ck. Preborn has a one hundred percent charity rating,
(15:44):
so you can give with confidence. Sponsored by Preborn.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He's fuck Sexton, He's Clay travels.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Together, they're breathing sanity into an insane world.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
All right, welcome back in. You know, we don't often
talk to.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
You about the government shut down fight anymore because well,
nobody really wants to fight over shutting down the government.
It seems this is well, I shouldn't say nobody. We'll
talk about a few people who do. But it looks
like they are approaching a fund. The government action here
(16:25):
going to be spending more of your money, money that
we do not have. Senator Ran Paul not happy about
this here, he is this is cut fifteen. He's just
pointing out something, which is that the country does not
have the money to keep spending the money that it spends.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Play it when.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Isn't really about the process of whether it's Friday or
Saturday or Sundays, whether or not someone stands up and
says the emperor has no clothes. The country has no money.
That is my point.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
One of the concerns I have is with this is
for our member friends who are planning to vote for
the Bell and don't.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Need seventy two hours to decide.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
You're going to vote for some two thousand pages that
spends a trillion dollars and has policies you don't even
know what's in there and what's not in there.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
You guys should shut it down.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I do one.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
They're not gonna shut it down.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
They're gonna spend a trillion dollars and they're going to
have a thousand pages and everyone's just going to vote
for their little piece of it. And it's just the
uniparty doing what it does, Clay.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
We're thirty five trillion dollars in debt, and we are
going to be in the next ten twenty years sixty million,
sixty trillion dollars in debt.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
And it's just.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
As if people have decided, oh, this doesn't matter at all.
And I understand there are a lot of things out
there that are long range concerns, there is nothing that
compares in my mind to the danger that we're all
in from an economic situation of being thirty five trillion
(17:54):
dollars in debt and continuing to add to it every
single day. And I hate a downer, but this is
something that feels like a looming asteroid that is coming
towards the United States at a hurtling rate of speed.
For twenty years, video cameras were the thing. Families couldn't
get one fast enough. Remember when the prices started coming down.
Remember how Dad and Mom walk around with that big
(18:15):
video camera up on the shoulder. You could buy videotapes
cassettes anywhere. Probably were like me. You'd use the same
video tape to record a bunch of different episodes of
your favorite shows.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
We had a lot of.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
WrestleManias back in the day, and then you'd record over them,
and then you might have started to notice that at
some point that video tape began to fray. It wasn't
designed to last forever. Well, how many of you have
video cassettes with priceless family memories on right now? You
don't even have a VCR anymore? Have you thought about
how to preserve those family memories on the digital tapes forever?
(18:51):
Go ahead and get hooked up right now. VHS tapes
transferred digitally forever for nine dollars a piece, sixty five
percent and off legacybox dot com, slash Clay, legacybox dot com,
slash Clay. Welcome back in Bill O'Reilly joins us now
no spend news Bill O'Reilly dot com. The upcoming book
(19:12):
Confronting the Presidents. New book's gonna come out in September.
And you got a great column up there that both
Buck and myself have read. And I saw some data
that came out that I think you will appreciate, Bill,
and we appreciate you coming on as always. Elon Musk
just tweeted he's being accused of being far right wing.
(19:35):
Here's what Elon Muck's Elon Musk just said, here's what.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I believe in. I'm quoting him.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Secure borders, safe and clean cities, don't bankrupt America with spending.
Racism against any race is wrong. There shouldn't be sterilization
below the age of consent.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Is this right wing? And to your point the column
that you wrote, Bill, I really it.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Resonated because anything that's not far left wing because we
have few and Buckets talked about this a lot too.
We have few conflicts of ideas, few debates that actually
take place now, so much of the media defines things
that are very centrist, very middle of the road, as
if they're far right. And I thought Elon Musk's tweet
(20:20):
that he sent out this morning was a really good
representation of that.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And also what you wrote about.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Well thanks driving back play. You know, we live in
a country which is distracted. That's where you have to start.
It's not like it was twenty five years ago, where
people got their information from newspapers and TV news. Now
the social media dominates, and if you can control what
(20:51):
is being said, you can mislead the entire country, or
at least stack the deck against a certain group. And
that's what's happening. So my column on Bill O'Reilly dot
com and I mentioned you and Buck as people who
routinely twenty five thirty years ago would have received invitations
(21:14):
to go on the late night shows to talk about
your successful radio franchise and what you believe. Now that
doesn't happen one hundred percent of the time. It's liberal
pundits or liberal politicians on the network shows. There are
three of them in the morning, five, and late night.
(21:35):
No one else gets an invitation, no matter how successful
your career is. Look, I am the most successful nonfiction
book writer in the world. I've appeared in the past
seventy eight times on network programs. Letterman Stewart Leno when
(21:56):
he was there. You guys know that. I mean only
you have to google. It stopped in twenty sixteen. As
soon as Trump got elected. The networks went ballistic. The
people who run them said, no one sympathetic or supporting
Donald Trump will appear on our network. And that is
(22:18):
held for eight years. And the result is that what
you just said, if you have a mainstream position like
Musk that we should have control over our borders, no
you're a racist, then no, no, you're against Hispanic people
and poor people. And that's what you hear from the
(22:39):
Cobears and the Kimmels and the morning people are a
little bit more reticent, but not much more, particularly NBC.
So people who don't follow the news, don't listen to
talk radio, don't watch my broadcasts or anything like that.
This is the only thing they hear is, yeah, that's right.
(23:01):
If you support limits on abortion, Oh you're a crank,
you're a missagynist, you're against reproductive rights. No, no, I
mean there are moderate positions, but they are being portrayed
as lunatic positions by these networks that control the flow
of information.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Hey Bill, it's fuck. I'm wondering.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I know it's months off and we a lot of
things can change, but I just am curious, as a
thought experiment that I've run on my own head, how
you would respond to this. It seems to be given
what you've said, and that's just a recitation of the facts,
right that they won't have Trump on. They've banned him
from social different social media platforms. Now he's got truth
(23:46):
social which looks like it's going to make him a
few billion dollars. But they've done things that have never
been done before where they've really decided a Republican presidential
candidate can be prosecuted and can be silenced in the
public square in ways that I think are egregious.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
But what are they going to do? Bill?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You see the numbers, you're following this every day. What
are they gonna do if he wins?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Bill Brood, what are they gonna do? They'll continue to
attack him. It's an addiction. Hating Trump is an addiction.
Now they're addicted to it. They can't stop. They have
to go to rehab. The stop. And the same thing
on the right. Hating Biden is an addiction too. I
hate him. Every day I get up, I hate him,
(24:34):
I go to bed, I hate him. But if Trump wins,
the corporate media then will sunk. But they won't change.
So you'll have the same presentations every night on the Colbert,
every morning on Good Morning America. Trumps an idiot. Look
(24:55):
what he did today. That's just the way our country
runs right now.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It just feels exhausting, though, But at any point to
the people that are I think rightly you said it's
an addiction, do they ever reach rock bottom of the
Trump addiction and realize they need help.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
No, because it's fun. It's like drug addiction. Taking drugs
is fun. That's why people take drugs. They want to
get high. So the people who hate Trump, they deal
with other people who hate Trump. It's like the Mickey
Mouse Club. Remember the Mickey Mouse Club. M I c
K E Y m o USC. Remember that it was fun.
You'd be a member of the Mickey Mouse Club. You
(25:33):
were litt leers. This is a member of the hate club,
hate Trump Club. So you go to lunch with people
who hate Trump. They go to sporting events with people
who hate Trump. They consume media and all those people
hate Trump, and it's fun for them to do it.
That's why they do it.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Bill, You and I have said on this show that
we don't think Joe Biden's going to be the nominating
Buck has been gloating recently. I think he might have
even mention that he's already starting to savor the taste
of the steak. That you're going to owe him, and
that I'm going to owe him and we're gonna have
to have a big meal.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Here. A couple of questions for you.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
One, do you think Biden is the nominee or do
you still think they pulled the switcheroo.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
And two, who do you think Trump is going to
pick as his VP?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I think the last time you were with us, Sarah
Huckabee Sanders was who you would have a bet on.
I'm curious if you would still stick there, how you
would analyze it.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Well. I didn't say I bet on her. I said
she would be the best person for him to select.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Okay, do you still think that she's the best person
for him at VP?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Yes, and it's not even close second. She would be
the best, but young family, I don't know whether she
would even do it. You don't hear her name rattled
around very much. As far as Biden's presence on the
ballot November, my prediction in yours looking a little dim.
(26:57):
But I continue to believe there are events going to
unfold between now and November that will tell will indicate
which way the election's going to go before election day.
And I don't know what they are. But as a historian,
as somebody who has followed the closest races in this
country since inception, he's usually a tipping point. Now, Joe
(27:24):
Biden is obviously not running anything, Okay, He's basically being
told what to do every day, and he doesn't even
do a lot. Maybe he's in the Oval office three
hours a day. Maybe for the last three days, he's
been on the road raising money, doing none of the
people's business. If you break down his schedule and the
(27:46):
White House puts it out every month, Biden spends about
thirty percent of his time working on helping the folks
in America. The other seventy percent is just bsque garbage.
And what they're doing now is they're just keeping him
away from everything. You can't get to him. I made
(28:09):
a point last night on News Nation. I do that
every Wednesday with Chris Cuomo and Plomo and the other
Democrats are always harping about Trump saying stupid things, and
he does say stupid things at times, There's no doubt
he does. But I looked in the camera and I said,
but Biden doesn't say anything. We're into his term almost
three and a half years. We still don't know why
(28:31):
he opened that border. He has never explained why he
did it and why he continues to sit there while
thousands of people cross every day. Why you can't even
get that answer out of that White House. That is
far more frightening to me as an American citizen than Trump,
(28:52):
you know, riffing at a rally. You know, you expect
that now from Trump. He's kind of like a heavy
metal rocker and he he's the myshkit and he just
gets repped up, insist anything. It doesn't really matter what
he says.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
But Bill, there's breaking news out there that the New
York Attorney General has taken steps to prepare to seize
Trump assets in New York, both in the city and Westchester.
Leaving aside the ridiculousness of all of these proceedings purely
from a political perspective, if the state of New York
(29:30):
seizes Trump assets, do you see that as a positive
for Trump in terms of how it will be portrayed
publicly and with his base and with swing voters, or
do you see it as a negative? How would you
analyze not the legality, just the politics.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
If people step back, independent voters step back, they'll see
the danger here that a federal or state government in
this case New York can ruin you. They can ruin you,
And what are you going to do about it? You
got fifty million to pay lawyers to defend your off.
Since some bogus charge. The Attorney General lives of you.
That's Trump. They could do it anybody, And if we
(30:07):
permit that in this country, then we're putin we're Russia.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Bill.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Do you think it's going to have a real effect
on the business climate broadly speaking in New York and California?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Probably too.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Here's the most important thing about this. This now leads
to a federal appeal. That's why the Trump lawyers want
this to happen. They want Lettercia James to start proceedings
to seize property because then they can get into the
federal system quicker and get a stay on that. That's
(30:40):
what's going on here, guys.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
But the question still stands. I mean, if you can't
get a fair trial in New York, if you're a
prominent Republican civil or criminal, I feel like people have
to make real decisions about where they're going to live
based on that.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Well, you don't live in New York. You guys don't
live in New York, right.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I left for Florida. I was having assets. Bill, I said,
you weren't you a shamanad guy? By the way, Bill,
I was a regius guy.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yeah, you're a shamanad guy. Which is you know, which
is pretty good? Pretty good?
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
I gotta I gotta ask you, yeah, good good spot.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
I saw Sean Hannity hitchhiking on the Long Island Expressway.
He's down in Florida. He's going I'm going south. Somebody
picked him up and he's down pump each He.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Spends a fair amount of time down there. But but
did you just before?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Let you go, Bill, and everyone should pick up Killing
the Witches. The latest one and also Confronting the Presidents
is going to be coming out this fall. We'll talk
to Bill more about that. Gonna Bill O'Reilly dot com
for the No Spin News also to buy his best
selling books. But just just one for you quickly here.
Bill Clay has this whole theory that or this reminiscence
I should say where they would roll TVs into the
(31:48):
room or something so you could watch the march madness
in high school? Or I did this ever happen at Shamanad?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Are you kitting me? If you were caught with a
transistor radio a Shamanad, you were do a gulag at.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Some yeah place.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
We had to say eighty five thousand hill Mary's I mean,
I look at the brother, I go, how many are
fathers who have to say now one hundred and forty thousand, Well,
we didn't have any of that. There was there was
Madness of Shamanad, but it wasn't March Madness.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
Sea Clay Sea Class Shamanad series the school where that
in radio anyway, although my social media mentions are filled
with people who are saying, yes, we also watched the
NCAA tournament back in the day during school days.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Not at the Catholic schools.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yeah, that happened probably after the Vietnam era when everything
changed in this country, but not for Buck in high
school in the sixties, there was none of that going on.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah, Clay, my school used to require ancient Greek and Latin,
both of them for everybody.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I didn't know they still taught Greek anywhere. Yeah they did.
They That is it should Greek. There you go, Bill
O'Reilly dot com. Everybody go check it out.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
We got a lot to get into. By the way.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Next hour, Nick Adams, I think you're going to enjoy this,
calls himself in Alpha Male. He was very funny on
social media. I think you guys will enjoy that conversation.
Bill O'Reilly always really entertaining. Lori in Ashville, North Carolina,
wants to have my back here that I'm not crazy
and remembering things. Louri Channel one in the televisions. But
before we get to that, do you recall watching the
(35:00):
NCAA tournament in school?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
No?
Speaker 10 (35:04):
No, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
But my daughter, she's in sixth grade.
Speaker 10 (35:10):
She was in sixth grade during nine to eleven and
they rolled Channel one in on the TV and they
let all the kids watch nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
So it still existed. They were still doing Channel one.
This was like a twelve minute local I mean a
news broadcast. They gave televisions. It was a big deal.
I don't know if it still exists now, but we
watched it every day for like twelve minutes.
Speaker 10 (35:31):
It doesn't they would roll it in the morning and
the kids would watch all the news in the morning.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
That's right, that's right. I can't believe they did that.
Can you imagine? Thank you for the Callori, But can
you imagine today if somebody's business plan was we're gonna go.
I think the idea was, they gave televisions to all
of these public schools for free, and as the function
of getting all these televisions installed, you agreed to play
this twelve minute television news broadcast. Can you imagine if
(36:01):
they tried to do that today, if they were doing
a new minute.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
It sounds very it sounds very North Korea, to be
honest with you. So it's a little weird, honestly, I
would be.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I mean, the idea was, it's like a kid's broadcast,
and it was supposed to be sort of non partisan
down the middle.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
But it's wild. That's always never happens.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I know that you have like crazy Keith Olberman like
shouting at your fourth grader about, you know, Trump destroying
democracy or something be insane that.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Channel one I do.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
I I'll tell you, I've never even heard of this
thing before. I'm looking it up right now, never even
heard of it in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
So like a multi billion dollar business this guy built
and we would watch it every day. I mean, it's
where Anderson Cooper got his start. He was reporting from
I think Sarajevo or whatever back in the day. And
I think there are several people that got became, you know,
continued journalism careers based on this as they're entree to
(36:57):
know into journal.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Back to the present day and breaking. They're going after
Trump's assets. It's in court right now. We'll talk about it.
