Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the explosive political and legal controversy surrounding Congresswoman LaMonica McIver’s arrest for allegedly obstructing ICE agents during a detention center visit. Hosts Clay and Buck analyze the implications of her actions, highlighting the irony of her past “no one is above the law” rhetoric—previously aimed at Donald Trump—now being turned against her. They explore the broader theme of political hypocrisy and the consequences of “lawfare,” emphasizing how Democrats are now facing the same legal tactics they once championed. The hour also features a sharp critique of the Democratic Party’s stance on illegal immigration. Clay and Buck argue that Democrats no longer view illegal immigration as a crime, citing McIver’s confrontation with ICE as emblematic of a broader ideological shift. They question why Democratic leaders prioritize the rights of non-citizens over the needs of underserved American communities, particularly Black constituents in urban districts like McIver’s New Jersey 10th, which is nearly 50% Black. The hosts suggest that this disconnect may be driving more minority voters toward the GOP, referencing recent political shifts in cities like New York and Chicago. Tom Homan, former acting ICE director, is featured in a clip reinforcing the legal boundaries McIver allegedly crossed, underscoring the seriousness of interfering with federal law enforcement. The discussion then pivots to the racial and ideological motivations behind Democratic immigration policies, with Buck asserting that modern leftist movements have replaced class solidarity with race-based solidarity, often to the detriment of their own constituents. Later in the hour, the hosts turn their attention to media accountability, particularly targeting MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough for his past praise of President Biden’s mental acuity. They play contrasting clips of Scarborough defending Biden post-debate and his earlier claim that Biden was “the best version ever,” calling out what they see as blatant media complicity in covering up Biden’s cognitive decline. This segues into a broader conversation about the alleged concealment of Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, with Clay and Buck speculating that the administration may have hidden the condition for political reasons, possibly even before Biden took office. The segment concludes with a call-in from a listener in Atlanta, who suggests McIver’s actions may be a political stunt to gain prominence within the progressive “Squad.” The hosts agree, framing her behavior as part of a broader trend of performative politics on the left.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
All right, second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off
right now. Thank you for being here with us all
across this great land. It was quite a post on
X from Aleena Haba, the interim US Attorney for New Jersey.
She wrote on her X account that Congresswoman Lamonica mick
(00:37):
Iver had been charged for assaulting, impeding, and interfering with
law enforcement when she visited the detention center a couple
other members of Congress back on the ninth of May
in New Jersey, and then put out a statement from
her office Clay, no one is above the law, politicians
(00:59):
or other. It is the job of this office to
uphold justice, impartially regardless of who you are. Now we
will let the justice system work. She had sought a
resolution without bringing criminal charges, according to The New York Times,
but Miss McIver declined. She says, now, this is Congresswoman
(01:21):
mick Iver, that the ICE agents created an unnecessary and
unsafe confrontation. These charges are entirely political. Of course, we
knew she was going to say that. But you can
see body camera footage released by the Department of Homeland
Security shows Representative McIver getting into it, Clay tussling with
(01:49):
members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One might even say
Clay obstructing, perhaps obstructing an official proceeding or official law
enforcement activity, something that all the cops listing know. Yeah,
if they're trying to make an arrest and you're like, no,
that's my buddy, and you hip check the cops so
(02:10):
that he can't actually put the cuffs on, you're going
away too, That's not okay. Now, there's a lot. There's
a lot going on here, Clay. Right, there's the law
and there's the law and order angle of this. The
no one is above the law, which Democrats certainly are
familiar with as a phrase because they used to say
it with such frequency to justify their absurd prosecutions. Four
(02:33):
of them one year, never been convicted or charged with
the crime in his entire life, almost eighty years. Trump
goes without ever committing a crime, and then four in
one year that also happened to be the same year
he's running for reelection to be president.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Gee, what a.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Coincidence, Almost like finding out Biden's cancer after the election
that they had to know about before quite a coincidence.
But uh, for me, this is they created this environment
and I'm happy having we can talk with the immigration
piece of this too, Clay Like, really, they're they're willing
to throw their physically throw their bodies in front of
(03:09):
ICE agents to stop deportations from happening. Members of Congress,
people that write the laws, or at least pretend to
write the laws. But the law is the law. No
one is above it. Democrats made us all believe, or
rather made us all hear from them that they believe this,
and now they have to live with it. And I
don't think they're going to like the consequences because the
(03:30):
Trump administration has decided, you know what, we'll take you
up on that your terms are acceptable.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Democrats. I think this was and is and this will
not surprise you. Buck.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
But what Monica mc ivor, the arrested congresswoman, texted, no
one is I mean tweeted, no one is above the
law after Trump was arrested. So you know this talking
point that they all had of no one is above
the law. Clearly they thought they were above the law.
But it's not a good position to be in when
(04:06):
you are arrested to have on the record called your
political adversaries out as being as no one as being
above the law. Now do I think that this is
some massively violent behavior that she engaged in. No, But
I do think that there are countless people who were
(04:29):
involved in January sixth that engaged in less than what
she did on that day, that were charged with crimes,
that were hunted down by the FBI, that had to
plead guilty to minor misdemeanors and received massive punishment as
a result. So, if you put it in that context,
(04:51):
what is good for the goose is good for the gander,
which is probably a phrase that I've never used before
in the history of radio, but seems apropos here. And
I think what it represents is there have been a
lot of you, and I am among them, and Buck
is among them.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
That said the only real way.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
We can end lawfair in this country. One Trump winning,
I think, showed Democrats that their idea of putting him
in prison for the rest of his life and bankrupting
him and trying to use the full apparatus of the
Department of Justice against him, as well as other state
(05:30):
governments in Georgia and New York, was not a way
that was going to be politically beneficial to them, and
I think the results of the twenty twenty four election
were wildly important for that reason. But the second part
of this is they have to feel the danger themselves
of law fair redounding at them as the paying the
(05:52):
consequences here. And I'm curious how aggressively the Democrat Party
will come out and defend her, because I will say this,
remember the judge in Milwaukee that they were saying, oh, like,
this is an unprecedented act, and then people looked into
it and then a grand jury in Milwaukee indicted her.
That story's kind of vanished. They tried to make a
(06:13):
lot of hay of that. I don't think that the
average person, because it's on video, is going to watch
this and say, hey, you know what, this woman seems
like she's being treated unfairly.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You know who's not going to all of a sudden
cry big tears for the situation. Tom Holman, I think
we could just call it. I think if he had
a nickname, like if this was Professor Wrestling, it would
be the Enforcer, because I think he is the enforcer
of immigration law. Here he is saying that she broke
the law. Thiss has cut ten and she's going to
(06:45):
be held to account.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
You can push back in its President Trump's immigration agenda, whatever,
you can protest, but you cannot cross that line. You
can't annoyingly and impede a law enforced and offshow ice officer.
It's a crime. You can't annoyingly concealing harbor and aimpromise.
You cannot you know, commit criminal trespass our facilities and
the danger our employees, and you certainly can't put hands
(07:10):
on an ICE agent. So you know, she's she's going
to have to pay the consequences for doing what she did.
She broke the law, and we're going to hold it accountable.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
This is where we have to be reminded that the Democrats,
despite whatever they may say as a party publicly and
I think even that you could argue, has trended in
this direction, but they really don't believe that illegal immigration
is a crime. They don't believe that it's illegal, and
so to them, anyone who's being held in a detention
(07:41):
facility for immigration related issues is essentially a political prisoner,
and therefore whatever they have to do in order to
bring attention to or even impede what's going on is
morally justified. They and this is what is More and
more Americans figure this out, we have greater clarity on
(08:02):
this issue, and we can handle this better. The Democrats
do not believe that anyone should be punished for being
in the country illegally, and I mean anyone. They fundamentally
do not believe that if someone is here, it doesn't matter,
if they're a mass murderer on behalf of MS thirteen,
doesn't matter those crimes. Sometimes Democrats will agree this are bad,
(08:22):
like the killing of all the people. Okay, they'll say
that's bad, fine, but the crime of status in the
country is not a crime to them. They do not
believe that there is any infraction worthy of punishment that
comes from breaking immigration laws. And that is why you
have members of Congress who will throw their bodies in
(08:43):
the way and scream about this and and you know
all this mayhem that they will cause around it. It's
because fundamentally, once you understand their view of it, yeah,
of course, like if you and I were sitting here,
we're talking about people who are being locked up for
absolutely no reason whatsoever in our minds, we'd say, well,
that's a huge problem. We've got to address this, that's
what they think about illegals.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, and look, I think the ultimate question here is
why Democrats are still floundering to such an extent. They're
getting arrested to fight for the rights of illegal immigrants.
They're getting on airplanes to fly to El Salvador to
advocate for wife beating, human trafficking gang members who should
(09:26):
never have been in this country. And I think a
lot of regular everyday Americans are asking the question, why
are Democrats willing to fight so hard for people who
are not citizens of this country to continue to be
able to illegally break the law here? And I also
think that a lot of people are saying that this
is indicative of them picking issues that the average American
(09:51):
does not agree with. And the only reason this makes sense,
the only reason this makes sense is they have a
plan and to one day make all of these people
citizens of the United States and they believe it will
benefit them that I mean, is there any other explanation
that remotely makes sense for their behavior right now? And
(10:13):
let me just point this out. This is a black
congresswoman from New Jersey, right, this is where Lamonica mc
ivor is from. Do you think the average black constituent,
because I bet her district is a majority black district.
That would be my guest team. You can look that
up and I'll correct it. If Lamonica mc iver has
(10:33):
been representing a largely white area of the country, I
tend to think that's probably unlikely. Do you think black
constituents of Lamonica mc ivor feel as if they are
being strongly represented by their congresswoman when she is being
arrested outside of an ice detention center. Is that advocating
(10:54):
for their best interest? I think there are a lot
of black residents. We saw this happen with more black
residents in Inner City starting to vote Trump. We saw
this New York City. We saw it in many parts
of the country, of New York City in particular. But
Buck remember all the Chicago Inner City residents who were saying,
wait a minute, you're taking over our gyms, our sports
(11:15):
bills that our kids are supposed to be able to
play on, to give benefits to illegal.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Filling their kids classrooms with correct kids who have a
tremendous amount of trauma from the journey often and speak
no English, by the way, overwhelmingly, Look, we have a
limited amount of resources that we have to provide support
for underprivileged American citizens. And if your community is feeling
(11:41):
like it's underserved, are you looking over your shoulder saying, Hey,
these people who've only been here for a couple of months.
My families have been here for generations, for decades, and
we're struggling to stay ahead, and you're going to give
resources to all these illegal immigrants. I mean, just honestly,
I can't imagine that the Congresswoman La Monica mc ivor
(12:03):
that her average constituent says, hey, this is what I
want you out fighting for. This is why we sent
you to Washington, d C. And U had here. The
Marxists left in this country. I mean, I repeat myself, right,
but the the the hard left, the true left in
America has replaced uh, the you know, the modern Marxists
(12:27):
have replaced class solidarity with race solidarity.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And so the uh.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
The street disruptors, community organizers, social justice brigades, if you will,
they they now view issues. Remember we talked about this
even in the contact of Israel Palestine, like what why
why will you have black members of Congress who are
over you know, generally speaking, overwhelmingly pro Palestinian. I mean,
(12:53):
you know, make a case if you have solidarity with
people who have suffered persecution. The Jews have suffered more
than their shriff Phutian historically. But why do Black American
congressmen identify with Palestinians Because Palestinians are considered brown. Even
though there are Palestinians and I've met them, because I've
been to the West Bank, et cetera, as has Clay
now who have red or blonde hair.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And blue eyes.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
That's a whole other thing, Okay, And you know are
very much you would think whitter Caucasian. But put that aside.
They think Palestinians are brown. Therefore, black members of Congress
have a Marxist solidarity, but it's based on race with
the Palestinians. Same thing with the illegal immigrants. At some level,
what you're pointing out is what you would think Black
(13:37):
Democrat members of Congress would focus on first and foremost,
which is if they are and a lot of them
are in a predominantly African American Black American district, are
illegal immigrants generally making the daily lives of Black Americans
better in their neighborhoods, in their schools, are they helping
(14:00):
the resource allocation that those communities get or are they
a competition for that? And of course we know the
answer to this, but for the Cameras, racial solidarity with
the non white illegal immigrants is where the left, the Marxists,
the social justice construct in this country goes.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Here's the breakdown, by the way, forty eight and a
half percent black district, twenty one point four percent Hispanic,
eighteen point eight percent white, So just shy of a
majority black district, but a massive, substantial overall number of
the population is black, and it is a overwhelming Democrat district.
(14:45):
By she won in the last congressional race, based on
what I'm looking to here, eighty one point four percent
of the vote to fifteen point six percent to the
Republican representative. So I mean again, we're talking about, in
my opinion, someone who is not representing remotely the majority
(15:07):
of the citizens of her district, and I would think
that would not be favorably you received. Maybe some of
you are out there listening to us right now in
that New Jersey ten congressional district and want two way
in on whether you think she is representing you well.
Eight hundred two A two two eight A two. Yeah,
definitely give us, give us a call. I've been an
(15:30):
investor in gold for a long time. And whether you're
listening to me talk about this or Clay, or you
hear us quoting the great Warren Buffett, long term investing
is the smart investing.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Okay, looking at things over the long term is how
you build real wealth. It's also how you protect the
wealth the savings that you already have. Taking the long view,
the gold I purchased over a decade ago has gone
up one hundred and sixty percent in value, So it's
something you should really consider. Just look at the track record.
And today purchasing gold has become even easier thanks to
(16:02):
partners like Birch Gold Group. It's important to do giving
a lot of external factors. Look, we're talking about the
debt here. I love the Trump big beautiful build there's big,
beautiful stuff in it, but it is not tackling the
national debt. We still have this problem. There's going to
be higher payments made on the interest on our debt
that's going to crowd out private investment. We got we
got structural long term problems. Now I'm not trying to
(16:25):
get you all riled up. I just want everyone to
be aware that there are things you can do now
that are smart for your future, and that's where gold
comes in. I'm a gold holder personally, so I'm telling
you to do something that I myself already do. Birch
Gold Group is who I trust you know. In the
past twelve months, the value of gold has increased by
forty percent and central banks are still buying gold and
(16:48):
record quantities around the world, which keeps that demand high.
You can also easily convert an existing IRA or four
to one K that you already have into attack sheltered
IRA in physical gold, or you can buy some for
the home safe like I do. Just text my name

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Welcome back in Klay Travis buck Sexton show really Quickly
Like's Michael in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Your theory here on what's going on? Hey, guys, how
are you great? Good?
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Good?
Speaker 7 (17:54):
I just wanted to just mention Lamonica mcgiver. I looked
it up and she the freshman congressman. That's right, we
got elected. And I believe that she's trying the grandstand
and possibly be probably one of the new squad members
or maybe to be the next Jasmine Crockett from Texas.
I don't believe she is representing her constituents at all
(18:17):
with this, and I think that she's trying to make a.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Power play out of ball.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Totally agree. We'll come back to this. Excellent point, excellent call.
Other countries have developed a Southern Wealth Fund. We don't
have one in this country, but you can see that
there's a big benefit to those who do consider this.
They're experts who think our nation has an asset that
could be worth as much as one hundred and fifty
trillion dollars. The asset has inburied under American soil and
could be the basis for creating a sovereign wealth fund.
(18:41):
President Trump has directed the exploration of such a fund,
signing an order asking for report within a few months.
Just to give you an idea of the impact of
this resource that could pay off our national debt four
times over. Jim Rickords, former advisor of the White House
in Federal Reserve, says, if you're over fifty, this could
be your best chance to build lasting wealth from a
once in a century event. To hear more of Jim's
thinking for free, go to Birthright twenty twenty five dot com.
(19:04):
That's Birthright twenty twenty five dot com free of charge,
paid for by Paradigm Press. All right, welcome back into
clay end book.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Is the is the if I did it? Here's how
I did the Biden cover up book? Out yet? Is
it out? I think it's out? So that brings us
back to are we right? I think I think it's original.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Sin is out today? Yes, yeah, it's out. Do not
buy it? I mean I really do, Like, don't you're
just rewarding the people who ran the scam. I do
not that you should buy it. The excerpts tell us
I remember they always released the best little bit about
the book world here, especially with the book like this,
They released the most interesting stuff in advance. So you
think the book is full of that, But no, actually
(19:58):
you probably know everything you need to know already now,
so do not go buy this book. And I really
mean that just because I think it rewards some of
the people who were involved in perpetrating the hope. So
that's why I like the I like the OJ model
of and I think the public. I think the publisher
who was going to publish it got fired for that, right,
Wasn't that how it went? Or there was some like
(20:19):
it was enough of a with the OJ book, There
was enough of a brew haha around it that I
think there was not only the publication of the book,
there was supposed to be a television special interview surrounding it,
and I think that it all blew up. That's something
for the crew you'll look up, because I do have
some recollection that it was not well received. It was
(20:40):
it was just too much, right, it was too grotesque,
the notion that this guy wrote a book, like, imagine
that for a second. You claim you're innocent, but you'd
write a book about killing your ex wife that everybody
thinks you did, and you wrote a book. It's like, well, look,
if I did it, here's how I would have done it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I mean, it was not even just the ex wife
would is awful, but also just a random waiter who
was there at the wrong time and was like a
young guy who.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Was totally innocent. Credit credit where it's due.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The uh I think it was James Tuban who actually
wrote the OJ Great Book book and when they made
that into a TV show.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Again, credit where it's due.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I thought, by far, the most memorable, powerful scene in
that entire series, at least for me, was Ron Goldman's
dad being like, you know, my son was just like
a guy who was there, and everyone's acting like this
is some kind of racial justice reckoning or this is
about a you know, a man and his wife is like,
my my son was an innocent bystander, bruly, you know. Anyway,
(21:44):
it was it was powerful. Like I remember watching it,
I was like, oh my gosh, because it's so true
to your point, Clay was so true. Yeah, the guy
was just a waiter, young twenty something at a and
he was actually just returning something to Nicole Simpson that
she had forgotten. Like totally innocent bystander, totally innocent butcher butcher,
(22:04):
I mean, horrific beyond words, and you know, and then
of course we all know, oh you know, Johnny Cocker
and the whole thing, how all that went down. But
I just bring it up because that was too grotesque
for people, even at the sort of the you know,
some of the less savory parts of the publishing industry.
That was too grow tesque for them. I think that
this book is I'm sorry, it's too much like it's
(22:26):
it's too much for me that you're writing a book.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You're like, but like, maybe we should have done more. No,
you were in on it. You know, this is this
is the if I did it. Here's how I covered
up Biden's dementia. And you know, here's one of the authors,
Jake Tapper. This is cut fifteen speaking to this point,
play it.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
I think everybody in that circle, in that world should
be should be thinking. I'm certainly thinking as a journalist,
what should I have done differently? You know, Alex and
I cover this, Alex very aggressively from the White House
to eat me less so and I wish I.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Had been more aggressive. I there are there's a lot
of regret, there's a lot of humility.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No, no, I'm sorry, it's not that he wished he
was more aggressive. He's a Democrat, operative and he did
his job. For the Democrat Party, and it was so
grotesque and so dishonest that now people that there's no
consequence want to make money and get absolved. I'm not
going for it, not one bit. I will say two
things here.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
One the one positive and I said this I think
last week that I will give Jake Tapper is him
writing it is forcing CNN to cover it in a
way that they would not cover it. If Sean Hannity
had written it, or Jake or Jesse Waters, or you
or me or Tucker Carlson, someone that could have had
(23:48):
all of the same sources and told all the same stories,
they would have ignored it. Second part of this the
Biden attempt on Sunday to discombobulate the story that was
circulating about his inability to be president of the United States.
(24:10):
I think the cancer diagnosis actually made it worse for
them because initially their attempt was, oh, give him space,
give him sympathy.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
How dare you say anything about this?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I think the average American public member who is somewhat
reasonably intelligent said we're over this. We're not going to
be shamed into ignoring stories. And I actually think this
has made it look worse because even on MSNBC they
had on oncologists who were saying, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
That they found out about this on Friday.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
And then this layers on top of the question of
his mental deficiencies. Now they may have covered up the
fact that he had cancer or in part of me.
Buck wonders if part of Biden's issue might have been
that he was getting some form of chemotherapy, and that
partly explains why he went downhill so fast, was because
(25:14):
he vanished from he was always at that Delaware beach house,
like what was actually going on there?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Just think about, yes, how decrepit Biden was, but how
decrepit the Democrat Party is was probably will be like
we're a country of at this point when you include
the illegals, about three hundred and fifty million people. Okay, yes,
we're three hundred and fifty million giver take and this
(25:40):
is what we got to run the country. That's really
the Like any honest person, any patriot, anyone who loves
America would really go forward and say, you know what,
Joe Biden's the best we've got. This is insane, This
is delusional, This is insane, and it it's not okay,
(26:01):
what they did is not acceptable. It shouldn't be forgiven.
In fact, it should be remembered and remembered for many
election cycles to come. The Democrats will lie to you
about absolutely anything. And this brings me to our favorite
when it comes to this subject. I think the raining
champ of BS. The raining champ has got to be
(26:23):
Joe Scarborough right in his comment, which we've played for
you many times, this is.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
The best Biden I've ever seen. I mean, this Biden
is just He's so sharp. He could cut paper like
a razor blade. I mean, this guy would say absolutely anything. Clay,
you know what, Let's let everybody hear what he's saying
about it now. It's probably not what you think. Blaye
twenty one.
Speaker 11 (26:45):
Am I going to look at a clip that's gone
viral and pay more attention to that than two and
a half three hours I had with guy one on
one going around the world. No, I'm just not going
to Are those are some of the clips bad?
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
They certainly, they certainly are bad.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
I can understand why people would see that without the
context and and say say that there was a problem
with that, especially because I said start roll tape right here.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
You know, it's a but.
Speaker 11 (27:15):
But you know, when I look at that tape, based
on what I saw with the biby, based on the
time that I spent with Biden, I mean, put in
the proper context. I'm just not going to freak out
and melt down on one or two clips here or there.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
This is at old timer.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That is the weak That is the weakest explanation of
the all timer. It's not even an explanation. It's just
muttering about context. There is no context to give for this.
It's just you were a shameless propagandist. You were the
bag dad Bob of Mourning Joe.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
And now we all know.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
We have that audio clip too for those of you
have forgotten it. So you just heard him saying I
basically wouldn't apologize for that at all. Here is what
he said. I think this ends his career. I mean
he may be able to continue to make money at MSNBC,
but his audience has vanished. Remember they followed this up
by going to mar A Lago and bending the knee.
(28:10):
I think if I were advising him, if I was
a crisis advisor in this context, I would say, you
know what, they must have shot Biden up with the
best juice they had, because when I was around him,
he was nowhere near as bad as he was on
June twenty seventh, and I was fooled. I don't think
that works, but that's at least an explanation. I don
(28:33):
wouldn't change anything that I said, which is effectively what
he's saying is well, I can no longer trust you
at all. And here is what that clip sounded like,
which I think is going to redown throughout history as
maybe to your point most indefensible take on Biden in
(28:54):
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 13 (28:56):
Play it starting your tape right now, because I'm about
to tell you the truth and few if you can't
handle the truth, this version of Biden intellectually, analytically is
the best Biden ever, not a close second.
Speaker 11 (29:14):
And I've known him for years. The Prasinskis have known
him for fifty years. If it weren't the truth, I
wouldn't say it.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
There's no coming back from this. This is what he
was saying. To be clear, you want the context. The
context is as follows. Democrats still believed at the point
that he said that that they could continue the lie
about Biden's cognition and that the prosecutions of Donald Trump
were going to drag him down, and that event, and
(29:45):
that it was impossible that Donald Trump could win, that
they would throw everything they have behind it, that the
that they're the criminal, you know, the criminal conviction in
New York City would drag him down. And they still
thought that the con was wor And so he said
that because he's thinking in his head, my audience wants
to hear this, and I'll get access to not the Biden,
(30:10):
but the Kammala administration for being a you know, for
little Joe being a good boy when she inevitably takes over.
So he said this for personal benefit. He said this
because he makes I can just tell you from being
in this business. I know what TV hosts make. You know,
he makes five to ten million dollars a year probably,
I would guess now probably closer to ten. So he's
making let's say eight nine million dollars a year to
(30:32):
be a jackass in the mornings with a very small audience.
But an NBC is corporate, and his corporate ownership and
they got big pocket, they got a big checkbook, so
he figures this is worth it. But Clay, he didn't
say Biden's sharp enough that I think he can keep going.
He didn't say I have no question that Biden could
do four more years. That enough would be complete crazy town.
Speaker 10 (30:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yes, what he says is Biden is better now than
he was twenty years years ago. Mentally, think about that.
I mean, this would be like me saying, you know,
I can run further and faster than I could now
twenty No. Well, I mean I'm not that old now,
but no, I couldn't. Actually in my twenties, I was
like fitter and faster. That's what happens. As you get older,
things tend to change. What he said is the craziest
(31:17):
lie of all of these people.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Correct and again all he had to say, and it's
still a lie. But I was fooled, And you can
say that I'm fool I'm talking as if I were Scarborough.
You can say that I was foolish. Maybe I was
partly captivated by the Office of the Presidency. Maybe I
just didn't want to believe that Biden could have declined
as rapidly as he could. But once I saw him
on June twenty seventh, I realized I was wrong. That
(31:41):
would still be a lie, but it would be a
lie that some people might be willing to believe I
wouldn't change anything is I'm stunned that that is the
way that he would address that. Look, I'm going to
go up to Indy five hundred this weekend with our
friends at Good Ranchers. They have and unbelievable business. They
(32:02):
have a phenomenal product. You might well want to think
about this as it's moving into the summer. Maybe you're
gonna be feeding your kids more at home than you
would during the course of the regular school year. I
know my kids are finishing school this week down in
the Nashville area, means we're gonna have to feed them
for lunch. In fact, I bet I got some hungry
(32:23):
kids downstairs right now. When we finish up this hour,
I'll go down and see them. And we are loading
up on Good Ranchers as a result, because it is
all great, no foreign supply chains, no tariff price hikes,
just real meat at a price you can count on
whatever you need, whether it's ground beef, salmon, chicken, nuggets, bacon,
(32:47):
you can get incredible value from Good Ranchers, all natural

They feed their kids these products as they want them
to be as healthy as possible. American jobs, American farmers,
American values. Each cut, pre trimmed, vacuum sealed freezer ready

Good ranchers dot Com use my name Clay to unlock
your free meat for life offer plus forty dollars off.
(33:30):
That's Good Ranchers dot Com slash Clay one more time,
forty dollars off and free meat for the life of
your deal. Good ranchers dot Com slash Clay. Welcome back
(34:00):
in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. There is some craziness
out there. Since we were just talking about Biden. I
do think this is worth playing. Some of the cover
ups that they're attempting, even in the wake of his
cancer diagnosis pretty crazy. This is CBS News medical contributor
former Biden transition official doctor Selene Gounder. She says the
(34:23):
reason there weren't PSA tests done was because they wanted
to save money. This has cut twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
We do know it's quite aggressive again, so the time
in which it would take to spread to the bones
is going to be shorter than with a less aggressive cancer.
Speaker 12 (34:39):
And he's eighty two.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
Normally doctors will stop screening for prostate cancer at seventy
five or so, because after that the prostate cancers you
typically pick up are very slow growing. And so the
harms of all of the testing and treatment for something
that may not kill you. You know, you're talking about
Rispurfs's benefit, it may not be worth rest.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Okay, well, I didn't hear the cost there in the description,
but I have seen the clip that I missed the
cost part. Maybe we clipped it a little bit differently
than what the clip said. But they're trying to explain
something that is very difficult and in fact impossible, I think,
because I think it goes to the actual the actual
cover up itself in presidential physicals Obama, in George W. Bush,
(35:30):
in Donald Trump's presidential physicals. So far they have been
releasing the so called PSA as a part of the
presidential physical Suddenly with Biden they didn't do that. So
that should set off a kind of an alarm bell
for you, and say, wait a minute, so they suddenly
they did it for Obama, they did it for Trump,
(35:51):
they did it for George W.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Bush, and suddenly they just PSA would.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Have shown indications of prostate cancer. So they held it back.
And because the press didn't give a you know what
about finding out anything about Biden's health, it was able
to fly under the radar. And Biden's personal physician, who
we now find out more is is you know, a
good old buddy that was in this position. I'm sure
Biden just said to him, look, we just keep this quiet,
(36:17):
you know, doctor's ethics or you can't say anything anyway,
and we just, you know, we don't talk about it,
and we're going to do active surveillance, so to speak.
And by the way, that this this plan may have
ended up costing Biden some years off of his life,
I mean, that's I think that's sad.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I think he's.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Probably the case, but I think that's the I think
that was the trade off he was willing to make
because otherwise, obviously he was too old and he has cancer, Like,
no one's going to.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Vote for this guy.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
And I wonder, sadly, after he passes whether there'll be
more discussion about his health history, and I think we're
going to find out that they knew about the prostate
cancer diagnosis before he was even sworn in as president,
and they brought in this guy to help protect that
information from getting out there, because otherwise, why in the
(37:05):
world would you not be conducting this prostate cancer test.
I get that he's older and typically it's hard to treat,
but when you are talking about someone of that age
and of this significant job, I want him getting tested
for everything. We'll talk about it more next final hours.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton are paying attention to the
ongoing events in Israel with the Israel News Minute with
Yal Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
an organization on the ground throughout Israel. Y'aal is their CEO,
and she joins them from Israel with this update.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
We keep hearing news reports of missiles being fired at
Israel from Yemen. What does this mean for the safety
of Israel.
Speaker 12 (37:57):
Well, even though it's not always being reported on the
mainstream news, Israel has been under attack almost daily by
ballistic missiles that are fired by the UTIs in Yemen.
These missiles travel over two thousand miles and they land
in Israel. They're big and they're dangerous, and so we
are often awakened by sirens and alerts of these incoming
(38:19):
missiles from Yemen and we have to go straight into
our bomb shelter. We are so blessed that Israel has
amazing security that we're able to knock down those missiles
in the air outside of Israeli territory, but it's not
fool proof. And so just recently, one missile landed and
exploded dangerously close to Bengurion Airport, which is Israel's main airport.
(38:42):
And so we have to remember that these terrorists continue
not just to threaten Israel, but to threaten American interests,
to threaten America and Europe. We have to always be
on alert and continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
And remember he who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.
The bombshells that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
(39:02):
has placed across Israel are being used every single day.
The Bible says, comfort, comfort, my people, and that's what
these bomb shelters are doing.

Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
All right, second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off
right now. Thank you for being here with us all
across this great land. It was quite a post on
X from Aleena Haba, the interim US Attorney for New Jersey.
She wrote on her X account that Congresswoman Lamonica mick
(00:37):
Iver had been charged for assaulting, impeding, and interfering with
law enforcement when she visited the detention center a couple
other members of Congress back on the ninth of May
in New Jersey, and then put out a statement from
her office Clay, no one is above the law, politicians
(00:59):
or other. It is the job of this office to
uphold justice, impartially regardless of who you are. Now we
will let the justice system work. She had sought a
resolution without bringing criminal charges, according to The New York Times,
but Miss McIver declined. She says, now, this is Congresswoman
(01:21):
mick Iver, that the ICE agents created an unnecessary and
unsafe confrontation. These charges are entirely political. Of course, we
knew she was going to say that. But you can
see body camera footage released by the Department of Homeland
Security shows Representative McIver getting into it, Clay tussling with
(01:49):
members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One might even say
Clay obstructing, perhaps obstructing an official proceeding or official law
enforcement activity, something that all the cops listing know. Yeah,
if they're trying to make an arrest and you're like, no,
that's my buddy, and you hip check the cops so
(02:10):
that he can't actually put the cuffs on, you're going
away too, That's not okay. Now, there's a lot. There's
a lot going on here, Clay. Right, there's the law
and there's the law and order angle of this. The
no one is above the law, which Democrats certainly are
familiar with as a phrase because they used to say
it with such frequency to justify their absurd prosecutions. Four
(02:33):
of them one year, never been convicted or charged with
the crime in his entire life, almost eighty years. Trump
goes without ever committing a crime, and then four in
one year that also happened to be the same year
he's running for reelection to be president.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Gee, what a.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Coincidence, Almost like finding out Biden's cancer after the election
that they had to know about before quite a coincidence.
But uh, for me, this is they created this environment
and I'm happy having we can talk with the immigration
piece of this too, Clay Like, really, they're they're willing
to throw their physically throw their bodies in front of
(03:09):
ICE agents to stop deportations from happening. Members of Congress,
people that write the laws, or at least pretend to
write the laws. But the law is the law. No
one is above it. Democrats made us all believe, or
rather made us all hear from them that they believe this,
and now they have to live with it. And I
don't think they're going to like the consequences because the
(03:30):
Trump administration has decided, you know what, we'll take you
up on that your terms are acceptable.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Democrats. I think this was and is and this will
not surprise you. Buck.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
But what Monica mc ivor, the arrested congresswoman, texted, no
one is I mean tweeted, no one is above the
law after Trump was arrested. So you know this talking
point that they all had of no one is above
the law. Clearly they thought they were above the law.
But it's not a good position to be in when
(04:06):
you are arrested to have on the record called your
political adversaries out as being as no one as being
above the law. Now do I think that this is
some massively violent behavior that she engaged in. No, But
I do think that there are countless people who were
(04:29):
involved in January sixth that engaged in less than what
she did on that day, that were charged with crimes,
that were hunted down by the FBI, that had to
plead guilty to minor misdemeanors and received massive punishment as
a result. So, if you put it in that context,
(04:51):
what is good for the goose is good for the gander,
which is probably a phrase that I've never used before
in the history of radio, but seems apropos here. And
I think what it represents is there have been a
lot of you, and I am among them, and Buck
is among them.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
That said the only real way.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
We can end lawfair in this country. One Trump winning,
I think, showed Democrats that their idea of putting him
in prison for the rest of his life and bankrupting
him and trying to use the full apparatus of the
Department of Justice against him, as well as other state
(05:30):
governments in Georgia and New York, was not a way
that was going to be politically beneficial to them, and
I think the results of the twenty twenty four election
were wildly important for that reason. But the second part
of this is they have to feel the danger themselves
of law fair redounding at them as the paying the
(05:52):
consequences here. And I'm curious how aggressively the Democrat Party
will come out and defend her, because I will say this,
remember the judge in Milwaukee that they were saying, oh, like,
this is an unprecedented act, and then people looked into
it and then a grand jury in Milwaukee indicted her.
That story's kind of vanished. They tried to make a
(06:13):
lot of hay of that. I don't think that the
average person, because it's on video, is going to watch
this and say, hey, you know what, this woman seems
like she's being treated unfairly.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You know who's not going to all of a sudden
cry big tears for the situation. Tom Holman, I think
we could just call it. I think if he had
a nickname, like if this was Professor Wrestling, it would
be the Enforcer, because I think he is the enforcer
of immigration law. Here he is saying that she broke
the law. Thiss has cut ten and she's going to
(06:45):
be held to account.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
You can push back in its President Trump's immigration agenda, whatever,
you can protest, but you cannot cross that line. You
can't annoyingly and impede a law enforced and offshow ice officer.
It's a crime. You can't annoyingly concealing harbor and aimpromise.
You cannot you know, commit criminal trespass our facilities and
the danger our employees, and you certainly can't put hands
(07:10):
on an ICE agent. So you know, she's she's going
to have to pay the consequences for doing what she did.
She broke the law, and we're going to hold it accountable.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
This is where we have to be reminded that the Democrats,
despite whatever they may say as a party publicly and
I think even that you could argue, has trended in
this direction, but they really don't believe that illegal immigration
is a crime. They don't believe that it's illegal, and
so to them, anyone who's being held in a detention
(07:41):
facility for immigration related issues is essentially a political prisoner,
and therefore whatever they have to do in order to
bring attention to or even impede what's going on is
morally justified. They and this is what is More and
more Americans figure this out, we have greater clarity on
(08:02):
this issue, and we can handle this better. The Democrats
do not believe that anyone should be punished for being
in the country illegally, and I mean anyone. They fundamentally
do not believe that if someone is here, it doesn't matter,
if they're a mass murderer on behalf of MS thirteen,
doesn't matter those crimes. Sometimes Democrats will agree this are bad,
(08:22):
like the killing of all the people. Okay, they'll say
that's bad, fine, but the crime of status in the
country is not a crime to them. They do not
believe that there is any infraction worthy of punishment that
comes from breaking immigration laws. And that is why you
have members of Congress who will throw their bodies in
(08:43):
the way and scream about this and and you know
all this mayhem that they will cause around it. It's
because fundamentally, once you understand their view of it, yeah,
of course, like if you and I were sitting here,
we're talking about people who are being locked up for
absolutely no reason whatsoever in our minds, we'd say, well,
that's a huge problem. We've got to address this, that's
what they think about illegals.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, and look, I think the ultimate question here is
why Democrats are still floundering to such an extent. They're
getting arrested to fight for the rights of illegal immigrants.
They're getting on airplanes to fly to El Salvador to
advocate for wife beating, human trafficking gang members who should
(09:26):
never have been in this country. And I think a
lot of regular everyday Americans are asking the question, why
are Democrats willing to fight so hard for people who
are not citizens of this country to continue to be
able to illegally break the law here? And I also
think that a lot of people are saying that this
is indicative of them picking issues that the average American
(09:51):
does not agree with. And the only reason this makes sense,
the only reason this makes sense is they have a
plan and to one day make all of these people
citizens of the United States and they believe it will
benefit them that I mean, is there any other explanation
that remotely makes sense for their behavior right now? And
(10:13):
let me just point this out. This is a black
congresswoman from New Jersey, right, this is where Lamonica mc
ivor is from. Do you think the average black constituent,
because I bet her district is a majority black district.
That would be my guest team. You can look that
up and I'll correct it. If Lamonica mc iver has
(10:33):
been representing a largely white area of the country, I
tend to think that's probably unlikely. Do you think black
constituents of Lamonica mc ivor feel as if they are
being strongly represented by their congresswoman when she is being
arrested outside of an ice detention center. Is that advocating
(10:54):
for their best interest? I think there are a lot
of black residents. We saw this happen with more black
residents in Inner City starting to vote Trump. We saw
this New York City. We saw it in many parts
of the country, of New York City in particular. But
Buck remember all the Chicago Inner City residents who were saying,
wait a minute, you're taking over our gyms, our sports
(11:15):
bills that our kids are supposed to be able to
play on, to give benefits to illegal.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Filling their kids classrooms with correct kids who have a
tremendous amount of trauma from the journey often and speak
no English, by the way, overwhelmingly, Look, we have a
limited amount of resources that we have to provide support
for underprivileged American citizens. And if your community is feeling
(11:41):
like it's underserved, are you looking over your shoulder saying, Hey,
these people who've only been here for a couple of months.
My families have been here for generations, for decades, and
we're struggling to stay ahead, and you're going to give
resources to all these illegal immigrants. I mean, just honestly,
I can't imagine that the Congresswoman La Monica mc ivor
(12:03):
that her average constituent says, hey, this is what I
want you out fighting for. This is why we sent
you to Washington, d C. And U had here. The
Marxists left in this country. I mean, I repeat myself, right,
but the the the hard left, the true left in
America has replaced uh, the you know, the modern Marxists
(12:27):
have replaced class solidarity with race solidarity.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And so the uh.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
The street disruptors, community organizers, social justice brigades, if you will,
they they now view issues. Remember we talked about this
even in the contact of Israel Palestine, like what why
why will you have black members of Congress who are
over you know, generally speaking, overwhelmingly pro Palestinian. I mean,
(12:53):
you know, make a case if you have solidarity with
people who have suffered persecution. The Jews have suffered more
than their shriff Phutian historically. But why do Black American
congressmen identify with Palestinians Because Palestinians are considered brown. Even
though there are Palestinians and I've met them, because I've
been to the West Bank, et cetera, as has Clay
now who have red or blonde hair.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And blue eyes.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
That's a whole other thing, Okay, And you know are
very much you would think whitter Caucasian. But put that aside.
They think Palestinians are brown. Therefore, black members of Congress
have a Marxist solidarity, but it's based on race with
the Palestinians. Same thing with the illegal immigrants. At some level,
what you're pointing out is what you would think Black
(13:37):
Democrat members of Congress would focus on first and foremost,
which is if they are and a lot of them
are in a predominantly African American Black American district, are
illegal immigrants generally making the daily lives of Black Americans
better in their neighborhoods, in their schools, are they helping
(14:00):
the resource allocation that those communities get or are they
a competition for that? And of course we know the
answer to this, but for the Cameras, racial solidarity with
the non white illegal immigrants is where the left, the Marxists,
the social justice construct in this country goes.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Here's the breakdown, by the way, forty eight and a
half percent black district, twenty one point four percent Hispanic,
eighteen point eight percent white, So just shy of a
majority black district, but a massive, substantial overall number of
the population is black, and it is a overwhelming Democrat district.
(14:45):
By she won in the last congressional race, based on
what I'm looking to here, eighty one point four percent
of the vote to fifteen point six percent to the
Republican representative. So I mean again, we're talking about, in
my opinion, someone who is not representing remotely the majority
(15:07):
of the citizens of her district, and I would think
that would not be favorably you received. Maybe some of
you are out there listening to us right now in
that New Jersey ten congressional district and want two way
in on whether you think she is representing you well.
Eight hundred two A two two eight A two. Yeah,
definitely give us, give us a call. I've been an
(15:30):
investor in gold for a long time. And whether you're
listening to me talk about this or Clay, or you
hear us quoting the great Warren Buffett, long term investing
is the smart investing.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Okay, looking at things over the long term is how
you build real wealth. It's also how you protect the
wealth the savings that you already have. Taking the long view,
the gold I purchased over a decade ago has gone
up one hundred and sixty percent in value, So it's
something you should really consider. Just look at the track record.
And today purchasing gold has become even easier thanks to
(16:02):
partners like Birch Gold Group. It's important to do giving
a lot of external factors. Look, we're talking about the
debt here. I love the Trump big beautiful build there's big,
beautiful stuff in it, but it is not tackling the
national debt. We still have this problem. There's going to
be higher payments made on the interest on our debt
that's going to crowd out private investment. We got we
got structural long term problems. Now I'm not trying to
(16:25):
get you all riled up. I just want everyone to
be aware that there are things you can do now
that are smart for your future, and that's where gold
comes in. I'm a gold holder personally, so I'm telling
you to do something that I myself already do. Birch
Gold Group is who I trust you know. In the
past twelve months, the value of gold has increased by
forty percent and central banks are still buying gold and
(16:48):
record quantities around the world, which keeps that demand high.

Welcome back in Klay Travis buck Sexton show really Quickly
Like's Michael in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Your theory here on what's going on? Hey, guys, how
are you great? Good?
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Good?
Speaker 7 (17:54):
I just wanted to just mention Lamonica mcgiver. I looked
it up and she the freshman congressman. That's right, we
got elected. And I believe that she's trying the grandstand
and possibly be probably one of the new squad members
or maybe to be the next Jasmine Crockett from Texas.
I don't believe she is representing her constituents at all
(18:17):
with this, and I think that she's trying to make a.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Power play out of ball.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Totally agree. We'll come back to this. Excellent point, excellent call.
Other countries have developed a Southern Wealth Fund. We don't
have one in this country, but you can see that
there's a big benefit to those who do consider this.
They're experts who think our nation has an asset that
could be worth as much as one hundred and fifty
trillion dollars. The asset has inburied under American soil and
could be the basis for creating a sovereign wealth fund.
(18:41):
President Trump has directed the exploration of such a fund,
signing an order asking for report within a few months.
Just to give you an idea of the impact of
this resource that could pay off our national debt four
times over. Jim Rickords, former advisor of the White House
in Federal Reserve, says, if you're over fifty, this could
be your best chance to build lasting wealth from a
once in a century event. To hear more of Jim's
thinking for free, go to Birthright twenty twenty five dot com.
(19:04):
That's Birthright twenty twenty five dot com free of charge,
paid for by Paradigm Press. All right, welcome back into
clay end book.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Is the is the if I did it? Here's how
I did the Biden cover up book? Out yet? Is
it out? I think it's out? So that brings us
back to are we right? I think I think it's original.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Sin is out today? Yes, yeah, it's out. Do not
buy it? I mean I really do, Like, don't you're
just rewarding the people who ran the scam. I do
not that you should buy it. The excerpts tell us
I remember they always released the best little bit about
the book world here, especially with the book like this,
They released the most interesting stuff in advance. So you
think the book is full of that, But no, actually
(19:58):
you probably know everything you need to know already now,
so do not go buy this book. And I really
mean that just because I think it rewards some of
the people who were involved in perpetrating the hope. So
that's why I like the I like the OJ model
of and I think the public. I think the publisher
who was going to publish it got fired for that, right,
Wasn't that how it went? Or there was some like
(20:19):
it was enough of a with the OJ book, There
was enough of a brew haha around it that I
think there was not only the publication of the book,
there was supposed to be a television special interview surrounding it,
and I think that it all blew up. That's something
for the crew you'll look up, because I do have
some recollection that it was not well received. It was
(20:40):
it was just too much, right, it was too grotesque,
the notion that this guy wrote a book, like, imagine
that for a second. You claim you're innocent, but you'd
write a book about killing your ex wife that everybody
thinks you did, and you wrote a book. It's like, well, look,
if I did it, here's how I would have done it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I mean, it was not even just the ex wife
would is awful, but also just a random waiter who
was there at the wrong time and was like a
young guy who.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Was totally innocent. Credit credit where it's due.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The uh I think it was James Tuban who actually
wrote the OJ Great Book book and when they made
that into a TV show.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Again, credit where it's due.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I thought, by far, the most memorable, powerful scene in
that entire series, at least for me, was Ron Goldman's
dad being like, you know, my son was just like
a guy who was there, and everyone's acting like this
is some kind of racial justice reckoning or this is
about a you know, a man and his wife is like,
my my son was an innocent bystander, bruly, you know. Anyway,
(21:44):
it was it was powerful. Like I remember watching it,
I was like, oh my gosh, because it's so true
to your point, Clay was so true. Yeah, the guy
was just a waiter, young twenty something at a and
he was actually just returning something to Nicole Simpson that
she had forgotten. Like totally innocent bystander, totally innocent butcher butcher,
(22:04):
I mean, horrific beyond words, and you know, and then
of course we all know, oh you know, Johnny Cocker
and the whole thing, how all that went down. But
I just bring it up because that was too grotesque
for people, even at the sort of the you know,
some of the less savory parts of the publishing industry.
That was too grow tesque for them. I think that
this book is I'm sorry, it's too much like it's
(22:26):
it's too much for me that you're writing a book.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You're like, but like, maybe we should have done more. No,
you were in on it. You know, this is this
is the if I did it. Here's how I covered
up Biden's dementia. And you know, here's one of the authors,
Jake Tapper. This is cut fifteen speaking to this point,
play it.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
I think everybody in that circle, in that world should
be should be thinking. I'm certainly thinking as a journalist,
what should I have done differently? You know, Alex and
I cover this, Alex very aggressively from the White House
to eat me less so and I wish I.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Had been more aggressive. I there are there's a lot
of regret, there's a lot of humility.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No, no, I'm sorry, it's not that he wished he
was more aggressive. He's a Democrat, operative and he did
his job. For the Democrat Party, and it was so
grotesque and so dishonest that now people that there's no
consequence want to make money and get absolved. I'm not
going for it, not one bit. I will say two
things here.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
One the one positive and I said this I think
last week that I will give Jake Tapper is him
writing it is forcing CNN to cover it in a
way that they would not cover it. If Sean Hannity
had written it, or Jake or Jesse Waters, or you
or me or Tucker Carlson, someone that could have had
(23:48):
all of the same sources and told all the same stories,
they would have ignored it. Second part of this the
Biden attempt on Sunday to discombobulate the story that was
circulating about his inability to be president of the United States.
(24:10):
I think the cancer diagnosis actually made it worse for
them because initially their attempt was, oh, give him space,
give him sympathy.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
How dare you say anything about this?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I think the average American public member who is somewhat
reasonably intelligent said we're over this. We're not going to
be shamed into ignoring stories. And I actually think this
has made it look worse because even on MSNBC they
had on oncologists who were saying, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
That they found out about this on Friday.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
And then this layers on top of the question of
his mental deficiencies. Now they may have covered up the
fact that he had cancer or in part of me.
Buck wonders if part of Biden's issue might have been
that he was getting some form of chemotherapy, and that
partly explains why he went downhill so fast, was because
(25:14):
he vanished from he was always at that Delaware beach house,
like what was actually going on there?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Just think about, yes, how decrepit Biden was, but how
decrepit the Democrat Party is was probably will be like
we're a country of at this point when you include
the illegals, about three hundred and fifty million people. Okay, yes,
we're three hundred and fifty million giver take and this
(25:40):
is what we got to run the country. That's really
the Like any honest person, any patriot, anyone who loves
America would really go forward and say, you know what,
Joe Biden's the best we've got. This is insane, This
is delusional, This is insane, and it it's not okay,
(26:01):
what they did is not acceptable. It shouldn't be forgiven.
In fact, it should be remembered and remembered for many
election cycles to come. The Democrats will lie to you
about absolutely anything. And this brings me to our favorite
when it comes to this subject. I think the raining
champ of BS. The raining champ has got to be
(26:23):
Joe Scarborough right in his comment, which we've played for
you many times, this is.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
The best Biden I've ever seen. I mean, this Biden
is just He's so sharp. He could cut paper like
a razor blade. I mean, this guy would say absolutely anything. Clay,
you know what, Let's let everybody hear what he's saying
about it now. It's probably not what you think. Blaye
twenty one.
Speaker 11 (26:45):
Am I going to look at a clip that's gone
viral and pay more attention to that than two and
a half three hours I had with guy one on
one going around the world. No, I'm just not going
to Are those are some of the clips bad?
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
They certainly, they certainly are bad.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
I can understand why people would see that without the
context and and say say that there was a problem
with that, especially because I said start roll tape right here.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
You know, it's a but.
Speaker 11 (27:15):
But you know, when I look at that tape, based
on what I saw with the biby, based on the
time that I spent with Biden, I mean, put in
the proper context. I'm just not going to freak out
and melt down on one or two clips here or there.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
This is at old timer.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That is the weak That is the weakest explanation of
the all timer. It's not even an explanation. It's just
muttering about context. There is no context to give for this.
It's just you were a shameless propagandist. You were the
bag dad Bob of Mourning Joe.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
And now we all know.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
We have that audio clip too for those of you
have forgotten it. So you just heard him saying I
basically wouldn't apologize for that at all. Here is what
he said. I think this ends his career. I mean
he may be able to continue to make money at MSNBC,
but his audience has vanished. Remember they followed this up
by going to mar A Lago and bending the knee.
(28:10):
I think if I were advising him, if I was
a crisis advisor in this context, I would say, you
know what, they must have shot Biden up with the
best juice they had, because when I was around him,
he was nowhere near as bad as he was on
June twenty seventh, and I was fooled. I don't think
that works, but that's at least an explanation. I don
(28:33):
wouldn't change anything that I said, which is effectively what
he's saying is well, I can no longer trust you
at all. And here is what that clip sounded like,
which I think is going to redown throughout history as
maybe to your point most indefensible take on Biden in
(28:54):
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 13 (28:56):
Play it starting your tape right now, because I'm about
to tell you the truth and few if you can't
handle the truth, this version of Biden intellectually, analytically is
the best Biden ever, not a close second.
Speaker 11 (29:14):
And I've known him for years. The Prasinskis have known
him for fifty years. If it weren't the truth, I
wouldn't say it.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
There's no coming back from this. This is what he
was saying. To be clear, you want the context. The
context is as follows. Democrats still believed at the point
that he said that that they could continue the lie
about Biden's cognition and that the prosecutions of Donald Trump
were going to drag him down, and that event, and
(29:45):
that it was impossible that Donald Trump could win, that
they would throw everything they have behind it, that the
that they're the criminal, you know, the criminal conviction in
New York City would drag him down. And they still
thought that the con was wor And so he said
that because he's thinking in his head, my audience wants
to hear this, and I'll get access to not the Biden,
(30:10):
but the Kammala administration for being a you know, for
little Joe being a good boy when she inevitably takes over.
So he said this for personal benefit. He said this
because he makes I can just tell you from being
in this business. I know what TV hosts make. You know,
he makes five to ten million dollars a year probably,
I would guess now probably closer to ten. So he's
making let's say eight nine million dollars a year to
(30:32):
be a jackass in the mornings with a very small audience.
But an NBC is corporate, and his corporate ownership and
they got big pocket, they got a big checkbook, so
he figures this is worth it. But Clay, he didn't
say Biden's sharp enough that I think he can keep going.
He didn't say I have no question that Biden could
do four more years. That enough would be complete crazy town.
Speaker 10 (30:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yes, what he says is Biden is better now than
he was twenty years years ago. Mentally, think about that.
I mean, this would be like me saying, you know,
I can run further and faster than I could now
twenty No. Well, I mean I'm not that old now,
but no, I couldn't. Actually in my twenties, I was
like fitter and faster. That's what happens. As you get older,
things tend to change. What he said is the craziest
(31:17):
lie of all of these people.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Correct and again all he had to say, and it's
still a lie. But I was fooled, And you can
say that I'm fool I'm talking as if I were Scarborough.
You can say that I was foolish. Maybe I was
partly captivated by the Office of the Presidency. Maybe I
just didn't want to believe that Biden could have declined
as rapidly as he could. But once I saw him
on June twenty seventh, I realized I was wrong. That
(31:41):
would still be a lie, but it would be a
lie that some people might be willing to believe I
wouldn't change anything is I'm stunned that that is the
way that he would address that. Look, I'm going to
go up to Indy five hundred this weekend with our
friends at Good Ranchers. They have and unbelievable business. They
(32:02):
have a phenomenal product. You might well want to think
about this as it's moving into the summer. Maybe you're
gonna be feeding your kids more at home than you
would during the course of the regular school year. I
know my kids are finishing school this week down in
the Nashville area, means we're gonna have to feed them
for lunch. In fact, I bet I got some hungry
(32:23):
kids downstairs right now. When we finish up this hour,
I'll go down and see them. And we are loading
up on Good Ranchers as a result, because it is

(33:30):
That's Good Ranchers dot Com slash Clay one more time,
forty dollars off and free meat for the life of
your deal. Good ranchers dot Com slash Clay. Welcome back
(34:00):
in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. There is some craziness
out there. Since we were just talking about Biden. I
do think this is worth playing. Some of the cover
ups that they're attempting, even in the wake of his
cancer diagnosis pretty crazy. This is CBS News medical contributor
former Biden transition official doctor Selene Gounder. She says the
(34:23):
reason there weren't PSA tests done was because they wanted
to save money. This has cut twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
We do know it's quite aggressive again, so the time
in which it would take to spread to the bones
is going to be shorter than with a less aggressive cancer.
Speaker 12 (34:39):
And he's eighty two.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
Normally doctors will stop screening for prostate cancer at seventy
five or so, because after that the prostate cancers you
typically pick up are very slow growing. And so the
harms of all of the testing and treatment for something
that may not kill you. You know, you're talking about
Rispurfs's benefit, it may not be worth rest.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Okay, well, I didn't hear the cost there in the description,
but I have seen the clip that I missed the
cost part. Maybe we clipped it a little bit differently
than what the clip said. But they're trying to explain
something that is very difficult and in fact impossible, I think,
because I think it goes to the actual the actual
cover up itself in presidential physicals Obama, in George W. Bush,
(35:30):
in Donald Trump's presidential physicals. So far they have been
releasing the so called PSA as a part of the
presidential physical Suddenly with Biden they didn't do that. So
that should set off a kind of an alarm bell
for you, and say, wait a minute, so they suddenly
they did it for Obama, they did it for Trump,
(35:51):
they did it for George W.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Bush, and suddenly they just PSA would.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Have shown indications of prostate cancer. So they held it back.
And because the press didn't give a you know what
about finding out anything about Biden's health, it was able
to fly under the radar. And Biden's personal physician, who
we now find out more is is you know, a
good old buddy that was in this position. I'm sure
Biden just said to him, look, we just keep this quiet,
(36:17):
you know, doctor's ethics or you can't say anything anyway,
and we just, you know, we don't talk about it,
and we're going to do active surveillance, so to speak.
And by the way, that this this plan may have
ended up costing Biden some years off of his life,
I mean, that's I think that's sad.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I think he's.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Probably the case, but I think that's the I think
that was the trade off he was willing to make
because otherwise, obviously he was too old and he has cancer, Like,
no one's going to.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Vote for this guy.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
And I wonder, sadly, after he passes whether there'll be
more discussion about his health history, and I think we're
going to find out that they knew about the prostate
cancer diagnosis before he was even sworn in as president,
and they brought in this guy to help protect that
information from getting out there, because otherwise, why in the
(37:05):
world would you not be conducting this prostate cancer test.
I get that he's older and typically it's hard to treat,
but when you are talking about someone of that age
and of this significant job, I want him getting tested
for everything. We'll talk about it more next final hours.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton are paying attention to the
ongoing events in Israel with the Israel News Minute with
Yal Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
an organization on the ground throughout Israel. Y'aal is their CEO,
and she joins them from Israel with this update.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
We keep hearing news reports of missiles being fired at
Israel from Yemen. What does this mean for the safety
of Israel.
Speaker 12 (37:57):
Well, even though it's not always being reported on the
mainstream news, Israel has been under attack almost daily by
ballistic missiles that are fired by the UTIs in Yemen.
These missiles travel over two thousand miles and they land
in Israel. They're big and they're dangerous, and so we
are often awakened by sirens and alerts of these incoming
(38:19):
missiles from Yemen and we have to go straight into
our bomb shelter. We are so blessed that Israel has
amazing security that we're able to knock down those missiles
in the air outside of Israeli territory, but it's not
fool proof. And so just recently, one missile landed and
exploded dangerously close to Bengurion Airport, which is Israel's main airport.
(38:42):
And so we have to remember that these terrorists continue
not just to threaten Israel, but to threaten American interests,
to threaten America and Europe. We have to always be
on alert and continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
And remember he who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.
The bombshells that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
(39:02):
has placed across Israel are being used every single day.
The Bible says, comfort, comfort, my people, and that's what
these bomb shelters are doing.
