Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show focused heavily on the political fallout from President Donald Trump’s recent address, the media’s response to it, border security and immigration enforcement, concerns about foreign influence operations, and a variety of cultural and sports discussions. The hour opened with Clay and Buck praising the Trump administration’s immigration policies, highlighting comments from White House advisor Stephen Miller and emphasizing what they described as record-high deportation levels and continued success in securing the southern border. The hosts argued that Trump delivered on promises to dramatically reduce illegal border crossings and increase immigration enforcement, framing border security as one of the administration’s most significant policy achievements. A major theme throughout Hour 2 was media credibility and coverage of President Trump. Clay and Buck criticized major television networks including CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS for their handling of Trump’s address, arguing that many outlets either refused to air it live or heavily filtered and fact-checked it after the fact. The hosts contended that mainstream media organizations continue to operate with anti-Trump bias and contrasted their treatment of Trump with previous coverage of stories such as the Russia collusion investigation and the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. They argued that journalists have failed to acknowledge past reporting mistakes and suggested that a lack of accountability has contributed to declining public trust in traditional media institutions. The conversation also examined editorial power within major news organizations and media conglomerates. Clay and Buck discussed accusations that news outlets selectively determine which stories receive attention and argued that those decisions significantly shape public understanding of current events. They referenced ongoing debates involving media ownership, licensing, broadcast regulations, and lawsuits surrounding major media mergers, asserting that corporate media increasingly influences political narratives. CNN commentator Brian Stelter became a recurring target of the hosts’ criticism and humor, leading to an extended satirical segment mocking media personalities and perceived ideological biases in journalism. Later in the hour, the hosts turned to national security and foreign influence concerns. They discussed allegations that the Chinese government has pursued efforts to influence American politics, business leaders, journalists, and public opinion. The conversation centered on claims that foreign actors may seek to shape U.S. political outcomes through media influence campaigns, financial incentives, and business relationships. Clay and Buck questioned whether stricter transparency standards should apply to political commentators, influencers, and media organizations receiving foreign-linked support, while also teasing an upcoming interview with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr regarding media accountability and broadcast regulation. The hour also covered environmental and breaking news topics. The hosts discussed severe air quality problems affecting New York City and parts of the Northeast due to Canadian wildfire smoke. They referenced public health warnings, concerns about the impact on outdoor activities, and the potential effect on major events scheduled in the region. In addition, they noted breaking reports of a significant earthquake in southern Mexico and briefly discussed broader emergency response concerns. Sports became another major focus during the second half of the hour. Clay and Buck debated the value of World Cup third-place matches, discussed recent international soccer results, and analyzed the strengths of various national teams. They also examined future international sporting events, including the possibility of the United States hosting the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The discussion expanded into broader debates about women’s sports, transgender participation, sports culture, and athlete activism, including commentary involving Megan Rapinoe and the role of politics in athletics. The final portion of Hour 2 featured listener interaction and lighter topics. The hosts read audience emails, discussed reactions to previous sports takes, joked about comparisons between political candidates and celebrities, and entertained feedback from listeners across the country. They also engaged in an extended debate over daylight saving time, with particular attention to how seasonal daylight changes affect workers, commuters, students, and mail carriers. The hour closed with humorous exchanges about vampires, darkness preferences, and classic horror literature, including a recommendation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
Thanks for being here, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The big news today still pulling apart all of the
threads connected to last night's speech with President Trump were
following on with the next steps here. We just spoke
to Stephen Miller of the White House on a couple
of things. One and I thought this was noteworthy. Clay
and I had the same reaction to it that you
(00:24):
are at the highest deportation level day to day yet
of the administration. So that is another way of saying
it is ramping up. The trajectory is going in that direction,
so that is a good thing. There's also some updates
from from Mark Wayne Mullen.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I did you know?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I was like, do we want to do the media
reaction to the Trump address? Clay, Yeah, it's a Friday,
we should do it. Do we want to do we
want to dunk on some of the yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, let's just say for a moment, Stephen Miller is
I think the most effective person at actually implementing policy,
and he has been obsessed with the border for a
long time. He's been coming on with.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Us four years.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I think it's easy to point two things and say
anytime anybody is in office, hey, this could be better,
that could be better. Let me just say this, I
don't know that the border could have been handled better
than President Trump has handled the border.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And you said it securing the border, Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
The likes of which I don't even think we could
have predicted that it would be as successful as that.
And now the degree of deportations are getting ramped up
in a significant way, and so I do think sometimes
it's worth going back and saying, hey, if we had
told you in twenty twenty three, when millions of people
were coming across our southern border illegally, that Trump would
(01:52):
get into office and immediately shut down everything. Steven Miller
came on and told us exactly what they were going
to do. They delivered on a on a level that
I think sometimes it just gets overlooked because it was
such a tremendous success. Now the rate of deportations, that's
another step, and that's a bigger challenge at this point.
(02:12):
But I do like that that we're hitting a record
high right now as we are moving into year two
of Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Can we make fun of Brian Stelter now? Please? Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Now, we can't play could you slap talking about the
borders so we could talk about how upset we are
after the last night's speech. We're not even going to
cover it at CNN, We're not even gonna run it.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They're just they're so angry about what Trump did. Here
is a montage producer Greg high five, a montage of
networks all just doing the hand ringing thing over.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We're not going to just cover that Trump propaganda.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's it's not like we're a news a news channel
and it's the president, so that means that it's news.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
We do something else here Play fifteen.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
We'll be monitoring what the President says tonight as we
always do, but aren't taking it live. Given the president
has a well documented history of saying blatantly false things
about elections.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
There is an argument that it's irresponsible to air the
president's speech tonight. But this speech will be made, it
will be news, and it's our job to cover the news.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
We may pull out of the speech at any moment,
and we're going to watch this with a group of
experts who are prepared to combat the lies and dismantle
the conspiracies right away.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
This is the Americans, No whammies, a new episode of
Press Your Luck starts now on ABC.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
That I presume is what they were showing instead.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I just good job by producer Greg There, CBS, ABC, NBCCNN,
and MS NOW all lined up with why none of play.
None of them carried the President's addressed to the nation,
not a single one.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I just find all of this. These people insufferable. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
No one thinks that they have a more important job
than journalists, and yet Buck.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
They are wrong on almost everything.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And I don't mean wrong on opinions right, like all
of us can be wrong. Some people have even pointed
out that I was wrong about what I thought was
going to happen in the World Cup when I said
that France was going to beat Spain to nothing. If
you want to be entertained, Spain won to nothing. Go
into those comments and read all of the reactions, right opinions.
(04:33):
It's okay to be wrong on Buck, all of their errors.
Relating to twenty sixteen. They gave themselves Pollitzers, They gave
themselves Pulitzers for the Russia collusion hoax.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It was all made up. They did it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
They told us that remember when NPR said we're not
going to spend time on stories that are so untrue,
like the hunter Biden laptop, which has all the hallmarks
of Russian disinformation. They aren't even good remotely at trying
to analyze truth and falsehood. To then get out here
(05:14):
and lecture us after they told us that one hundred
thousand dollars in Facebook ads. Fuck one hundred thousand dollars
in Facebook ads. Someone look up what Facebook does in
revenue every year in advertising. I think it's like five
hundred billion dollars. One hundred thousand dollars in Facebook ads influencing.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The twenty fix. This would be like giving Elon Musk
a baloney sandwich and be like, I own you now.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, I don't think so, not even a full baloney sandwich,
like a bite of your kids peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
and saying, now you work for me, Elon.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I mean it is.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
They're so wrong on everything, and yet you know what
I find buck, When you're wrong and you own it,
people treat you more. That treats you trust you more.
When you just come out and say, hey I blew
that one, Hey I could have handled that better, Hey
I got that one wrong, People trust you more, no
(06:14):
one has admitted to any wronghood falsehood. And then they
come out here and they wag their fingers and they
lecture us about how you can't take a speech from
the President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I just it is.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I find them insufferable, thoroughly insufferable in their arrogance as
to deigning to tell us what we should be able
to even see or hear. And you might say, Okay,
how does this matter? A lot of people just don't
know basic truths still because they just don't cover things,
(06:52):
and so it's frustrating.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And this is what I said last night.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I mean, the same people who spent years covering Russia
collusion in twenty six teen and told us that it
was the most important story of all of their journalistic careers,
they're now going to say everything that President Trump alleged
in any of that address last night is all lie
and we shouldn't pay any attention to it at all.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Brian Stelter is like, we're going to have to keep
it reality based or else we'll have to cry talk.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
About you know, Brian should start covering the DoD TRT program.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Brian Trt is calling your name, toy and This would
be an excellent test. What if Stelter just got mega
ripped and just went crazy right wing?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
What I like, in six months.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
If you took Stelter, Stelter's probably about two hundred and
twenty nanograms a deca leader. Okay, I'm gonna guess that
would be my guess, my estimate. You took him up
to like a nice seven or eight hundo, seven or
eight hundred on the on the scale, I'm telling you,
Stelter would all of a sudden be like wearing a
maga hat, totally change the guy he'd be. It would
be a great test to to just give everybody testosterone
(08:02):
who votes Democrat for like a year and a half
and see how they voted in twenty twenty eight. All
of a sudden he'd be like, Yo, what's up, Clay
and buff like, what's going on? You know, if you're
totally different, dude, he'd be a bro your girl. He'd
be slapped up to the bar, stealing your girl.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Like you wouldn't even be able to go to get
a You wouldn't be able to leave go get a beer.
Next thing, you know, Stelter's got your chick on his arm.
He's just walking out of the bar with her.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Dude, bro Stelter would be like, I'm wanna arm wrestle Bongino,
like all of a sudden, like he would be throwing down,
you know.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
He'd be like, let's go with the guy and.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
We'd get some pushups in here. Hey, guys, crowded, let's
clear some space. I gotta get some more reps in.
But here is here is no trt Stelter play sixteen.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
NBC and ABC did the same thing as this network
CNN last night. The newsrooms monitored the speech, evaluated it
was actually newsworthy, looked at the documents Trump was declassifying,
and then reported on what happened. NBC and ABC both
went on the air special reports to explain that the
speech had happened and to summarize what Trump had said,
but most importantly, to contextualize it in fact check.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It from just to see an end in now.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Trump was ominously claiming that the networks were part of
a plot.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
But the only real plot here.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
The only intention is to remain reality based and truth based.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I didn't I thought they fired him? Is he now
back at CNN? Didn't they they just take away his show.
I mean Stelter has come back from the dead like Cain.
For all the memes that you've seen of the WWE
of Cain coming out of the coffin, I just again,
(09:42):
first of all, there's no audience here, and I do
think Buck, we can tie in. Let me let me
make an argument here, because right now there is a
court hearing going on California and eleven other states are
suing to stop the Warner Brothers merger acquisition. By paramount,
that lawsuit alleging antitrust violation is almost entirely based on CNN,
(10:07):
because while it is true that ABC and NBC didn't
air this speech at all, CBS did air part of it,
and I think that the reason they air that is
entirely because Ellison, David Ellison, I believe, has bought this
(10:27):
company and CNN, I really do believe this would have
aired the Trump speech if this merger had taken place.
And it is important to get as much into the
public arena as possible, in my opinion, and that's really
what these lawsuits are based on, because they recognize the
(10:51):
ability to control stories and control what you cover is
the primary power at this point in time of any network,
any news organization. You get to decide what is worthy
of being considered to be news at time. What you
cover is the biggest editorial decision you make, really by far.
(11:14):
And I was watching last night. I don't know where
you watched the speech they led from Jesse Waters. Fox
News did Jesse Waters. They were playing a funny clip
about a grandma in Texas, Florida who has got a
squeeze ass license plate, which we're gonna have some fun
with in our three I promise you, uh, and then
(11:35):
they went straight to the President of United States. Sean
Hannity came on for like thirty seconds. It was straight
from Waters debating the squeeze ass Florida license plate to
Sean Hannity for thirty seconds, straight to the President of
the United States. Fox News has got every audience dominant
because they have fun and they also then are able
(11:56):
to cover the actual news. That audience trust them to
make them laugh and also to encourage them as many
of you, we hope on this show and enjoy hanging
out with us, but also trust us to bring you
the most important news when we do. And they if
you watch MS now or whatever the heck, it's called now,
or you read the New York Times, or you read
(12:17):
the Washington Post. You have no utter idea about any
of these details. And I think that's by design.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think so too.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Pure Talk doesn't just offer the best valued cell phone
service plans every month, but right now they've sweetened the
pot with the first three months costing just fifteen dollars
a month. Pure Talk has never made this kind of
offer before. Again, any pure Talk plan, including their unlimited
data plans, even their top tier sixty five dollars plan,
just fifteen dollars a month for your first three months.
That's a savings of up to one hundred and fifty
(12:49):
dollars when you make the switch to Puretalk. Pure Talk
services on America's most reliable five G networking back by
one hundred percent US based customer service team. Never been
a better time to switch to pure Talk to test
drive their service. It's fast, it's reliable, it's what I use.
Switch to pure Talk and enjoy your first three months
of talk, text and data for just fifteen bucks a month.
This is a short lived offer, so act on it today.

pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck to start saving.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I want to tell you, if you need a mortgage
to help wipe out all of your credit card debt,
it's a great company. They're doing fantastic work. A bunch
of you are already inquiring, already starting to use them.
Perfect ten mortgage dot Com. Why Perfect ten because if
you give them ten minutes, they can get you closed
in ten days. And if you have a lot of
(13:52):
credit card debt, and reports are that credit card debt
is at record high levels, you're paying twenty plus percent,
you can wipe all that out with a brand new
mortgage in as little as ten days. You can get
your house back in order, get your family financial situation
back in order. Perfect ten, like Nadia komen H Buck
(14:13):
got the first Perfect ten, Perfect one zero mortgage dot Com.
Perfect ten Mortgage DBA Network funded lp mls twenty two
to ninety seven. All borrowers must qualify equal housing lender,
not a promise to make a loan. All right, weather
is a big condition right now all over the country.
(14:33):
We haven't talked about this at all Buck on the program.
But there are awful Canadian wildfires that have rendered the
weather in the northeast absolutely brutal, and also for many
parts of the Midwest. And I know that a lot
of you listening right now. The team is in New
(14:54):
York City. They just sent me some pictures from outside
you down in lovely South Florida and Tennessee. We have
not dealt with this at all, but this is a
major issue that is impacting a lot of people all
over the country, including our team in New York City.
And it makes me wonder, Buck, the World Cup Final
is going to be played in New York City on Sunday.
(15:16):
Is it possible that that is going to be awful
for so many people out there? In fact, they're starting
to say you should be wearing a mask again. Buck,
this is Mom Donnie saying it's time to mask up.
Cut twenty nine.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Whether we're speaking about the heat, whether we're speaking about
the air quality, or whether we're even speaking about the
levels of rain water and flooding in our city, I
am concerned, and I'm concerned because what we see is
that the climate crisis exacerbates so much of what our
city is facing. This is very serious. We are reaching
(15:51):
into a level of air quality that is dangerous for
every single New Yorker. And so yes, it is masks,
but also it is to stay indoors, whereas otherwise you
might have been outdoors.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
All right, what would it take for you to wear
a mask? Again?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Buck, physical violence against me forcing the mask on my face,
Like they'd have to actually throw me on the ground.
I think handcuff me, put the mask on my face,
and you know it would it would take it would
take that at this point.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Bite from radioactive Spider and you become new Spider Man
like superhero status, you'd wear a mask.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But but actual masking, I.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Just little little paper face masking. It's it's Pavlovian conditioning,
is it?
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
About In my book Manufacturing Delusion, which all of you
should buy. If you have not gotten it, please get
a copy because it explains this in detail.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
The the they that's why they want you to do.
They just want people to keep doing the masking because
it's been it's the genuflection to the left wing orthodoxy.
It's like just checking in, make sure you do the
mask thing, you know, you know, like sometimes and I
mean this in a positive sense, like religions will have
like a fasting period and it's to bring you closer
(17:09):
to God, and it's ritual and the whole thing. But
the point is, well, yeah, that's for your religion. Their religion,
the left's religion is put a mask on. Yeah, just
do it occasionally to make sure that you know that
you got to put a mask on when we tell
you to.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
By the way, this news just breaking on CNN a
huge earthquake they say has hit in southern Mexico. Just fyi,
we had the earthquake that was substantial in Venezuela, what
two weeks ago or something like that. This is somewhat
close in terms of it's the furthest part of Southern
(17:42):
Mexico lead story right now. We'll see exactly how bad
that is going to end up being. But just fyi,
as we go to break.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Business owners, who do you rely on for your business insurance?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Is it a.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Friendly, smiley broker who just shows up once a year

That's usually what happens. And that's why Supersure has had enough.
They've stepped in to do this the right way. They're
improving the whole process of business insurance, not just the
buying it, but also the customer service component.

Insurance Agency LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
The strategy included efforts to use Chinese contacts with big
US companies to influence US business leaders to turn against
the President of the United States of America. The Chinese
government sought to identify US journalists who had reported negatively
on the US president and pay them large sums of
(19:23):
money to write more negative articles about him as many
as they could, and they didn't care what they said.
The Chinese government wanted US president to lose the next election,
and the reason they wanted me to lose is because
they knew I was wise to them, charged them bidions
(19:43):
and billions of dollars worth of tariffs, and built the
strongest military anywhere in the world. We have the strongest
military anywhere in the world. These are exact quotes from
the CIA reporting.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Shoe Clay. A few things here. One is.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I think we need to know if people are being
paid large amounts of money by a foreign government. Now
maybe he's going to say, oh, well, there's some like
privacy issues or something there because maybe they collected this
using Oh well, then why are we talking about it,
you know. I mean, if you're not going to declassify it,
(20:27):
we should know who this is. I mean, I want
to know if people are being paid large amounts of
money by a foreign government to be involved in American politics.
I do think that Pharaoh might come into play, so
it is actually a law enforcement related issue. I mean,
this is now that people would make First Amendment arguments.
(20:48):
And you know, if you if you write a piece
for the BBC, no one thinks that you're like a
foreign agent, right, So there's a but if someone's giving you,
if someone's paying you one hundred grand, they're China and
they're saying attack the you know, attack the Trump administration
or attacked the Trump campaign for us that you know,
(21:09):
if they're directing what you're saying, I mean that that
does start to feel like foreign agent territory, right, and
Pharaoh would seem to apply. So I just think that
that leaves a lot of a lot of open territory.
But Trump is also we just do we just do
thirteen guys, because as he's threatening to revoke licenses of
NBC at ABC for fraudulent reporting, and he also I
(21:34):
think the view has started to get a little bit
of heat Clay, and we're gonna have FCC Commissioner car
on with us on Monday because we need to dive
into this some more. Some of these big broadcast networks
they've been getting a free ride on being essentially left
wing Democrat operations pretending that they're news operations.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Look, I think both of these stories are actually really important.
First of all, I feel like you and I might
be the only people almost on the planet who aren't
getting paid by foreign actors. I really do think this
matter is a great deal if you are on your
social media being paid and by the way, I mean
(22:19):
being paid in a way where you're trying to hide it. Right,
If I go on social media and I say, hey,
here's a link to a sports gambling company, like you
kind of have an idea, like, right, we have a relationship, right,
I understand ads. Somebody tweeted the other day and I
don't remember who it was, but I thought it was
(22:41):
well said that if you go on Instagram, there's more
truth than honesty from Instagram influencer girls like, hey, go
check out my new bathing suit. It's brought to you
by insert brand here. Hey go to this restaurant. They're
great and they always take Like you know that Instagram
(23:02):
influencers who are posting on behalf of brands are doing
so for the brands. You don't know if someone you
follow for political analysis is being paid to advocate for
a particular political perspective. It seems to me that we
should hold a higher standard to people influencing politics based
(23:25):
on foreign dollars then we do. An Instagram influencer trying
to get you to go buy a new bathing suit.
It seems like we have that reversed now on the View.
I think we're and we'll talk with Brendan Carr, FCC
chair on Monday, but I think this is one hundred
percent faire if you only if you claim to be
(23:47):
a bona fide news network and you will not have
Republicans buy and large on, but you have democrats on
all the time. That is an in kind contribution to them.
And we on this program, our producer Ali, we are
keeping track. We are inviting democrats on this program all
the time. Most of them won't come on, but that's
(24:10):
their choice. We're trying to show that we are a
bona fide news organization when it comes to the guests
that we have on. If we have on a Republican,
we invite the democrat on. Now they won't come on
because they don't want to get tough questioning. But that's
the opposite of the View. Where we reached out to
the View, they said, oh, no, conservatives will come on
(24:30):
this program. And then we reached out and we said, hey,
you know, Bucker Claig happy to come on, and they said,
oh okay, what did they say Ali, Oh, we'll get
back to you, but they go that we're still waiting.
Busy schedules, busy schedule, and I think we have that
cut to play that you were just referencing buck which
is cut seven on the FCC licenses and how those
(24:54):
could be impact.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
In a rare move.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
NBC and ABC fake news are both said that they
would not cover this speech they knew what it was
about because of the fact that they don't like the topic,
because they know how corrupt our system is and they.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Don't want to reveal it.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
They and others in the media part of a plot.
They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason. They
want to keep it going. They want to protect the
radical left. They can't have a great country, and that's true.
You can't have a great country without free and fair elections.
Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses.
(25:33):
They use our public, multi billion dollar in value airways
for absolutely no money.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
They pay nothing.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
All we want is honesty in our elections and honesty
in reporting.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, again, I would point out CBS carried a decent
amount of Trump speech, ABC and NBC did not. I
think this is a direct result of who owns the company,
and we've got to have better owners of a lot
of these media outlets. And this is I mean, you
(26:08):
know who distributes the view Disney. You know who is
consistently the most left wing of the entertainment companies in
my mind that have broadcast licenses, Disney. I don't think
this is coincidental. Look, Buck, I don't think it's coincidental.
It's not MSNBC anymore. They pulled NBC's name off of
(26:30):
MSNBC because I think they believed that the MSNBC brand,
the NBC connection was actually destructive to the idea that
they're a journalistic organization.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Well, I know, you can't have what you had there
for a while was people would sometimes appear on NBC
News who were MSNB. There was a bit of a
bleedover and back and forth, and they would for their
election coverage and stuff like that. So whatever pretend wall
there was.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Between those entities was a joke. In the first place.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
NBC News was still playing the honestly just to boomers,
but playing the we're a news organization game, whereas MSNBC
will allow a little more opinion. They all think the
same thing. It's just a question of whether they try
to do a little bit more of the dishonest, oh
we're in we're journalists thing, which NBC News was doing.
(27:22):
It's all the same thing. They all believe the same thing.
They're all Democrats, they're all left wing. There's no They're
all pulling the exact same levers in the same ways,
the whole thing. So I'm not surprised that all of
that is what ended up happening there. But yeah, I
wonder if there's gonna be any follow through on that.
Speaking of follow through, I thought this was We've got
(27:44):
a bunch of things here to discuss. One of them
is on the remittance thing. But first, actually, listener from
I think his name is, This is k on the
talkbacks guys from South Carolina play it.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Would you both agree that the third place game in
World Cup is really the game everybody wanted to see
as the World Cup.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It depends on who you ask, you know, this is
I would have much rather seen France England in the final,
but England got their asses kicked by Argentina, and Argentina
has somehow been able to just turn it on in
the second half and just destroy anybody who's come close
to beating them and Spain. Look, Spain's the highest rated
(28:29):
team in Europe and Argentina is the highest rated team
in South America or the America's overall. So you can
make an argument, actually, Clay, that this is probably the
best the best pairing in a sense. But I'm still
sad for Jolly Old not so jolly anymore England.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I will say the third place game in general feels
to me like a relic making when you lose your
goal is to win the World Cup, losing the World
Cup in the final four and then playing a third
place game.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I mean, if you use the.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Final four in college basketball as an example, no one
would want to play in a third place game.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I feel like this is just well, how much money?
How much money is there up for? What I would
want to know is how much money is up for grabs?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Because if it's if the consolation prize is everybody on
the team if you win third place, Oh that's a
good question. They all get a half a million bucks
or something, or they get a million whatever it is. Okay,
these guys are professional athletes, like they're going to show up.
I mean, there's them bragging rights. But if it's just
because Yeah, then I want these guys are all super
(29:38):
rich from playing soccer.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, that whatever they're going to make the pride thing
is more impactful to them pride of country than I
think the dollars. I would just suggest humbly that FIFA
do away with the third place game, and if they
want to expand the overall number of teams, they're talking
about sixty four. Now, all those things. By the way,
(29:59):
report that the US is going to get the twenty
thirty one Women's World Cup, which is the next World
Cup up for grabs.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Yay, yay.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
And you know what's really.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Exciting, buck is by twenty thirty one, our women's team
might be majority men pretending to be women, which is
really exciting because we'd really dominate.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Then. The nice thing about watching the Women's World Cup
is if you're ever confused about what's going on, it's
at half speed, so you can really see everything.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Does that mean man, No, it is kind of me,
I think, but it is. It might be a quarter speed.
I I what did you see?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Shape middle aged radio hosts. Everyone's going to get into
comments now, I will say.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Did you see Mega Pino is complaining? Because she's losing Now,
she says, advertising opportunity, sponsorship opportunity, because she's been who
outspoken for men and women's sports. And I'm like, first
of all, who's signing up Megan Repino for anything at
this point? She's a washed up former athlete who is
(31:11):
far left wing. Who's buying any product that Megan Repino
tries to push? That would be my first question. Second,
for years, people wouldn't work with me because they said
I was too controversial, among other things. What was I
controversial for saying men shouldn't be able to play in
women's sports, including sports gambling companies? So we can't work
(31:32):
with Clay Travis. What's the reason, Well, he's too outspoken
on men and women's sports. You're a sports gambling company.
You want to give me a rig job, I'll bet
on every dude to win every women's sport on the planet.
Speaker 10 (31:43):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
And also, I'm sure there are sponsorships for her.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I mean, maybe not with Mercedes Benz, but someone's gotta
sell pink hare Dye, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Pink hare Dye knows rings. She's got a real opportunity.
There's a marketer, there's a market there for the pink
hare dye androgynous clothes. I mean it's a real it's
a real push. If every household had a protection plan

Vince writes in the main Senate candidate looks like meat loaf.
(33:23):
Now is meat Loaf still live or is he dead?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Do we know? Uh?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Rest in peace meat Loaf? She he does kind of
look like meatloaf. Not a good look.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
We've got.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
So we've got a bunch of funny talkbacks. I will say, Buck,
I was just telling you the Savannah banana fans are
coming after me. Debbie just sent me a message, and
I think you're taking some heat here to Buck, even
though you really haven't said anything about the Savannah bananas.
You douchebags need to get over it. These guys are
entertaining as all. X Well, do you are just a
(34:01):
radio host with zero talent?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
F off? Wait?
Speaker 10 (34:06):
Is this?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Wait? Hold on a second, what did I do? I
don't even know what I say.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
I think you're just getting unfairly maligned based on your
connection to me.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yet another time, where grenade thrown for clay, the shrapnel
hits the buck.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
To be fair, the douchebag comment might not include you.
It could include other douchebags not intending to be you.
I also got an angry email about soccer. You know
nothing about soccer. You're trash and Trump cost the USA
the match. You fool now, no excuse, no commas.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I just went into Instagram.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I was like, hey, I wonder if anything's going on
on Instagram, and people are mad at me for all
different sorts of things.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But that is a wide crosspath here.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Also, a lot of people are fired up yesterday about
the about the including Tommy Laren who came out she
was wrong. She's I like it be a dark late
early in the afternoon. That person does look just like
meat loaf. By the way, here is Tiffany in Northern California,
(35:12):
Cutbee clam buck.
Speaker 11 (35:14):
I'm just calling because of the daylight savings time conversation.
Not everybody is on board because for folks like us
who live in California, Northern California, Oregon, Washington State, if
you leave the daylight in the afternoon, it's still dark
around nine am, and it's not safe for kiddos to
(35:37):
go to school like that.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
I don't understand why it's safe for kids to come
home in the dark, but it's not safe for kids
to go to school in the dark, Like there's going
to be dark on one side or the other. You're
either going to be coming home in the dark in
many parts of the country, or you're going to be
going to school in the dark. The data, I think
reflects people speaking would rather have more light light our
(36:03):
boy Manti in Spokane, cut.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Seat, Clay and Buck.
Speaker 10 (36:07):
I'm a mail carrier, so the more daylight at the
end of the day the better. In December when we
have the most malvine because of Christmas, I'm delivering in
the dark starting at three thirty or four o'clock and
I'm working till five thirty six in the dark.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Would somebody just please think of Monty the mail carrier.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I agree with him.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I want Monty to be safe.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I want I just know that I'm worried after you
upset some of our vampire listeners, that you might not
show up for radio and Laura may just find you
slumped over in your studio with two little holes the
little blood in your neck.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I'm in danger. The vampires want the darkness.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
By the way, good vampire book recommendation Old School Salem's
lot terrifying e
Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
Thanks for being here, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The big news today still pulling apart all of the
threads connected to last night's speech with President Trump were
following on with the next steps here. We just spoke
to Stephen Miller of the White House on a couple
of things. One and I thought this was noteworthy. Clay
and I had the same reaction to it that you
(00:24):
are at the highest deportation level day to day yet
of the administration. So that is another way of saying
it is ramping up. The trajectory is going in that direction,
so that is a good thing. There's also some updates
from from Mark Wayne Mullen.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I did you know?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I was like, do we want to do the media
reaction to the Trump address? Clay, Yeah, it's a Friday,
we should do it. Do we want to do we
want to dunk on some of the yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, let's just say for a moment, Stephen Miller is
I think the most effective person at actually implementing policy,
and he has been obsessed with the border for a
long time. He's been coming on with.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Us four years.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I think it's easy to point two things and say
anytime anybody is in office, hey, this could be better,
that could be better. Let me just say this, I
don't know that the border could have been handled better
than President Trump has handled the border.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And you said it securing the border, Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
The likes of which I don't even think we could
have predicted that it would be as successful as that.
And now the degree of deportations are getting ramped up
in a significant way, and so I do think sometimes
it's worth going back and saying, hey, if we had
told you in twenty twenty three, when millions of people
were coming across our southern border illegally, that Trump would
(01:52):
get into office and immediately shut down everything. Steven Miller
came on and told us exactly what they were going
to do. They delivered on a on a level that
I think sometimes it just gets overlooked because it was
such a tremendous success. Now the rate of deportations, that's
another step, and that's a bigger challenge at this point.
(02:12):
But I do like that that we're hitting a record
high right now as we are moving into year two
of Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Can we make fun of Brian Stelter now? Please? Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Now, we can't play could you slap talking about the
borders so we could talk about how upset we are
after the last night's speech. We're not even going to
cover it at CNN, We're not even gonna run it.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They're just they're so angry about what Trump did. Here
is a montage producer Greg high five, a montage of
networks all just doing the hand ringing thing over.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We're not going to just cover that Trump propaganda.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's it's not like we're a news a news channel
and it's the president, so that means that it's news.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
We do something else here Play fifteen.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
We'll be monitoring what the President says tonight as we
always do, but aren't taking it live. Given the president
has a well documented history of saying blatantly false things
about elections.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
There is an argument that it's irresponsible to air the
president's speech tonight. But this speech will be made, it
will be news, and it's our job to cover the news.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
We may pull out of the speech at any moment,
and we're going to watch this with a group of
experts who are prepared to combat the lies and dismantle
the conspiracies right away.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
This is the Americans, No whammies, a new episode of
Press Your Luck starts now on ABC.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
That I presume is what they were showing instead.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I just good job by producer Greg There, CBS, ABC, NBCCNN,
and MS NOW all lined up with why none of play.
None of them carried the President's addressed to the nation,
not a single one.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I just find all of this. These people insufferable. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
No one thinks that they have a more important job
than journalists, and yet Buck.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
They are wrong on almost everything.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And I don't mean wrong on opinions right, like all
of us can be wrong. Some people have even pointed
out that I was wrong about what I thought was
going to happen in the World Cup when I said
that France was going to beat Spain to nothing. If
you want to be entertained, Spain won to nothing. Go
into those comments and read all of the reactions, right opinions.
(04:33):
It's okay to be wrong on Buck, all of their errors.
Relating to twenty sixteen. They gave themselves Pollitzers, They gave
themselves Pulitzers for the Russia collusion hoax.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It was all made up. They did it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
They told us that remember when NPR said we're not
going to spend time on stories that are so untrue,
like the hunter Biden laptop, which has all the hallmarks
of Russian disinformation. They aren't even good remotely at trying
to analyze truth and falsehood. To then get out here
(05:14):
and lecture us after they told us that one hundred
thousand dollars in Facebook ads. Fuck one hundred thousand dollars
in Facebook ads. Someone look up what Facebook does in
revenue every year in advertising. I think it's like five
hundred billion dollars. One hundred thousand dollars in Facebook ads influencing.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The twenty fix. This would be like giving Elon Musk
a baloney sandwich and be like, I own you now.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, I don't think so, not even a full baloney sandwich,
like a bite of your kids peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
and saying, now you work for me, Elon.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I mean it is.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
They're so wrong on everything, and yet you know what
I find buck, When you're wrong and you own it,
people treat you more. That treats you trust you more.
When you just come out and say, hey I blew
that one, Hey I could have handled that better, Hey
I got that one wrong, People trust you more, no
(06:14):
one has admitted to any wronghood falsehood. And then they
come out here and they wag their fingers and they
lecture us about how you can't take a speech from
the President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I just it is.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I find them insufferable, thoroughly insufferable in their arrogance as
to deigning to tell us what we should be able
to even see or hear. And you might say, Okay,
how does this matter? A lot of people just don't
know basic truths still because they just don't cover things,
(06:52):
and so it's frustrating.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And this is what I said last night.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I mean, the same people who spent years covering Russia
collusion in twenty six teen and told us that it
was the most important story of all of their journalistic careers,
they're now going to say everything that President Trump alleged
in any of that address last night is all lie
and we shouldn't pay any attention to it at all.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Brian Stelter is like, we're going to have to keep
it reality based or else we'll have to cry talk.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
About you know, Brian should start covering the DoD TRT program.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Brian Trt is calling your name, toy and This would
be an excellent test. What if Stelter just got mega
ripped and just went crazy right wing?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
What I like, in six months.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
If you took Stelter, Stelter's probably about two hundred and
twenty nanograms a deca leader. Okay, I'm gonna guess that
would be my guess, my estimate. You took him up
to like a nice seven or eight hundo, seven or
eight hundred on the on the scale, I'm telling you,
Stelter would all of a sudden be like wearing a
maga hat, totally change the guy he'd be. It would
be a great test to to just give everybody testosterone
(08:02):
who votes Democrat for like a year and a half
and see how they voted in twenty twenty eight. All
of a sudden he'd be like, Yo, what's up, Clay
and buff like, what's going on? You know, if you're
totally different, dude, he'd be a bro your girl. He'd
be slapped up to the bar, stealing your girl.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Like you wouldn't even be able to go to get
a You wouldn't be able to leave go get a beer.
Next thing, you know, Stelter's got your chick on his arm.
He's just walking out of the bar with her.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Dude, bro Stelter would be like, I'm wanna arm wrestle Bongino,
like all of a sudden, like he would be throwing down,
you know.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
He'd be like, let's go with the guy and.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
We'd get some pushups in here. Hey, guys, crowded, let's
clear some space. I gotta get some more reps in.
But here is here is no trt Stelter play sixteen.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
NBC and ABC did the same thing as this network
CNN last night. The newsrooms monitored the speech, evaluated it
was actually newsworthy, looked at the documents Trump was declassifying,
and then reported on what happened. NBC and ABC both
went on the air special reports to explain that the
speech had happened and to summarize what Trump had said,
but most importantly, to contextualize it in fact check.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It from just to see an end in now.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Trump was ominously claiming that the networks were part of
a plot.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
But the only real plot here.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
The only intention is to remain reality based and truth based.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I didn't I thought they fired him? Is he now
back at CNN? Didn't they they just take away his show.
I mean Stelter has come back from the dead like Cain.
For all the memes that you've seen of the WWE
of Cain coming out of the coffin, I just again,
(09:42):
first of all, there's no audience here, and I do
think Buck, we can tie in. Let me let me
make an argument here, because right now there is a
court hearing going on California and eleven other states are
suing to stop the Warner Brothers merger acquisition. By paramount,
that lawsuit alleging antitrust violation is almost entirely based on CNN,
(10:07):
because while it is true that ABC and NBC didn't
air this speech at all, CBS did air part of it,
and I think that the reason they air that is
entirely because Ellison, David Ellison, I believe, has bought this
(10:27):
company and CNN, I really do believe this would have
aired the Trump speech if this merger had taken place.
And it is important to get as much into the
public arena as possible, in my opinion, and that's really
what these lawsuits are based on, because they recognize the
(10:51):
ability to control stories and control what you cover is
the primary power at this point in time of any network,
any news organization. You get to decide what is worthy
of being considered to be news at time. What you
cover is the biggest editorial decision you make, really by far.
(11:14):
And I was watching last night. I don't know where
you watched the speech they led from Jesse Waters. Fox
News did Jesse Waters. They were playing a funny clip
about a grandma in Texas, Florida who has got a
squeeze ass license plate, which we're gonna have some fun
with in our three I promise you, uh, and then
(11:35):
they went straight to the President of United States. Sean
Hannity came on for like thirty seconds. It was straight
from Waters debating the squeeze ass Florida license plate to
Sean Hannity for thirty seconds, straight to the President of
the United States. Fox News has got every audience dominant
because they have fun and they also then are able
(11:56):
to cover the actual news. That audience trust them to
make them laugh and also to encourage them as many
of you, we hope on this show and enjoy hanging
out with us, but also trust us to bring you
the most important news when we do. And they if
you watch MS now or whatever the heck, it's called now,
or you read the New York Times, or you read
(12:17):
the Washington Post. You have no utter idea about any
of these details. And I think that's by design.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think so too.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Pure Talk doesn't just offer the best valued cell phone
service plans every month, but right now they've sweetened the
pot with the first three months costing just fifteen dollars
a month. Pure Talk has never made this kind of
offer before. Again, any pure Talk plan, including their unlimited
data plans, even their top tier sixty five dollars plan,
just fifteen dollars a month for your first three months.
That's a savings of up to one hundred and fifty
(12:49):
dollars when you make the switch to Puretalk. Pure Talk
services on America's most reliable five G networking back by
one hundred percent US based customer service team. Never been
a better time to switch to pure Talk to test
drive their service. It's fast, it's reliable, it's what I use.

Perfect ten Mortgage DBA Network funded lp mls twenty two
to ninety seven. All borrowers must qualify equal housing lender,
not a promise to make a loan. All right, weather
is a big condition right now all over the country.
(14:33):
We haven't talked about this at all Buck on the program.
But there are awful Canadian wildfires that have rendered the
weather in the northeast absolutely brutal, and also for many
parts of the Midwest. And I know that a lot
of you listening right now. The team is in New
(14:54):
York City. They just sent me some pictures from outside
you down in lovely South Florida and Tennessee. We have
not dealt with this at all, but this is a
major issue that is impacting a lot of people all
over the country, including our team in New York City.
And it makes me wonder, Buck, the World Cup Final
is going to be played in New York City on Sunday.
(15:16):
Is it possible that that is going to be awful
for so many people out there? In fact, they're starting
to say you should be wearing a mask again. Buck,
this is Mom Donnie saying it's time to mask up.
Cut twenty nine.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Whether we're speaking about the heat, whether we're speaking about
the air quality, or whether we're even speaking about the
levels of rain water and flooding in our city, I
am concerned, and I'm concerned because what we see is
that the climate crisis exacerbates so much of what our
city is facing. This is very serious. We are reaching
(15:51):
into a level of air quality that is dangerous for
every single New Yorker. And so yes, it is masks,
but also it is to stay indoors, whereas otherwise you
might have been outdoors.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
All right, what would it take for you to wear
a mask? Again?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Buck, physical violence against me forcing the mask on my face,
Like they'd have to actually throw me on the ground.
I think handcuff me, put the mask on my face,
and you know it would it would take it would
take that at this point.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Bite from radioactive Spider and you become new Spider Man
like superhero status, you'd wear a mask.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But but actual masking, I.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Just little little paper face masking. It's it's Pavlovian conditioning,
is it?
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
About In my book Manufacturing Delusion, which all of you
should buy. If you have not gotten it, please get
a copy because it explains this in detail.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
The the they that's why they want you to do.
They just want people to keep doing the masking because
it's been it's the genuflection to the left wing orthodoxy.
It's like just checking in, make sure you do the
mask thing, you know, you know, like sometimes and I
mean this in a positive sense, like religions will have
like a fasting period and it's to bring you closer
(17:09):
to God, and it's ritual and the whole thing. But
the point is, well, yeah, that's for your religion. Their religion,
the left's religion is put a mask on. Yeah, just
do it occasionally to make sure that you know that
you got to put a mask on when we tell
you to.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
By the way, this news just breaking on CNN a
huge earthquake they say has hit in southern Mexico. Just fyi,
we had the earthquake that was substantial in Venezuela, what
two weeks ago or something like that. This is somewhat
close in terms of it's the furthest part of Southern
(17:42):
Mexico lead story right now. We'll see exactly how bad
that is going to end up being. But just fyi,
as we go to break.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Business owners, who do you rely on for your business insurance?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Is it a.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Friendly, smiley broker who just shows up once a year
to get that renewal and then leaves you on your own.
That's usually what happens. And that's why Supersure has had enough.
They've stepped in to do this the right way. They're
improving the whole process of business insurance, not just the
buying it, but also the customer service component.
Speaker 1 (18:16):

Insurance Agency LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
The strategy included efforts to use Chinese contacts with big
US companies to influence US business leaders to turn against
the President of the United States of America. The Chinese
government sought to identify US journalists who had reported negatively
on the US president and pay them large sums of
(19:23):
money to write more negative articles about him as many
as they could, and they didn't care what they said.
The Chinese government wanted US president to lose the next election,
and the reason they wanted me to lose is because
they knew I was wise to them, charged them bidions
(19:43):
and billions of dollars worth of tariffs, and built the
strongest military anywhere in the world. We have the strongest
military anywhere in the world. These are exact quotes from
the CIA reporting.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Shoe Clay. A few things here. One is.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I think we need to know if people are being
paid large amounts of money by a foreign government. Now
maybe he's going to say, oh, well, there's some like
privacy issues or something there because maybe they collected this
using Oh well, then why are we talking about it,
you know. I mean, if you're not going to declassify it,
(20:27):
we should know who this is. I mean, I want
to know if people are being paid large amounts of
money by a foreign government to be involved in American politics.
I do think that Pharaoh might come into play, so
it is actually a law enforcement related issue. I mean,
this is now that people would make First Amendment arguments.
(20:48):
And you know, if you if you write a piece
for the BBC, no one thinks that you're like a
foreign agent, right, So there's a but if someone's giving you,
if someone's paying you one hundred grand, they're China and
they're saying attack the you know, attack the Trump administration
or attacked the Trump campaign for us that you know,
(21:09):
if they're directing what you're saying, I mean that that
does start to feel like foreign agent territory, right, and
Pharaoh would seem to apply. So I just think that
that leaves a lot of a lot of open territory.
But Trump is also we just do we just do
thirteen guys, because as he's threatening to revoke licenses of
NBC at ABC for fraudulent reporting, and he also I
(21:34):
think the view has started to get a little bit
of heat Clay, and we're gonna have FCC Commissioner car
on with us on Monday because we need to dive
into this some more. Some of these big broadcast networks
they've been getting a free ride on being essentially left
wing Democrat operations pretending that they're news operations.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Look, I think both of these stories are actually really important.
First of all, I feel like you and I might
be the only people almost on the planet who aren't
getting paid by foreign actors. I really do think this
matter is a great deal if you are on your
social media being paid and by the way, I mean
(22:19):
being paid in a way where you're trying to hide it. Right,
If I go on social media and I say, hey,
here's a link to a sports gambling company, like you
kind of have an idea, like, right, we have a relationship, right,
I understand ads. Somebody tweeted the other day and I
don't remember who it was, but I thought it was
(22:41):
well said that if you go on Instagram, there's more
truth than honesty from Instagram influencer girls like, hey, go
check out my new bathing suit. It's brought to you
by insert brand here. Hey go to this restaurant. They're
great and they always take Like you know that Instagram
(23:02):
influencers who are posting on behalf of brands are doing
so for the brands. You don't know if someone you
follow for political analysis is being paid to advocate for
a particular political perspective. It seems to me that we
should hold a higher standard to people influencing politics based
(23:25):
on foreign dollars then we do. An Instagram influencer trying
to get you to go buy a new bathing suit.
It seems like we have that reversed now on the View.
I think we're and we'll talk with Brendan Carr, FCC
chair on Monday, but I think this is one hundred
percent faire if you only if you claim to be
(23:47):
a bona fide news network and you will not have
Republicans buy and large on, but you have democrats on
all the time. That is an in kind contribution to them.
And we on this program, our producer Ali, we are
keeping track. We are inviting democrats on this program all
the time. Most of them won't come on, but that's
(24:10):
their choice. We're trying to show that we are a
bona fide news organization when it comes to the guests
that we have on. If we have on a Republican,
we invite the democrat on. Now they won't come on
because they don't want to get tough questioning. But that's
the opposite of the View. Where we reached out to
the View, they said, oh, no, conservatives will come on
(24:30):
this program. And then we reached out and we said, hey,
you know, Bucker Claig happy to come on, and they said,
oh okay, what did they say Ali, Oh, we'll get
back to you, but they go that we're still waiting.
Busy schedules, busy schedule, and I think we have that
cut to play that you were just referencing buck which
is cut seven on the FCC licenses and how those
(24:54):
could be impact.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
In a rare move.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
NBC and ABC fake news are both said that they
would not cover this speech they knew what it was
about because of the fact that they don't like the topic,
because they know how corrupt our system is and they.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Don't want to reveal it.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
They and others in the media part of a plot.
They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason. They
want to keep it going. They want to protect the
radical left. They can't have a great country, and that's true.
You can't have a great country without free and fair elections.
Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses.
(25:33):
They use our public, multi billion dollar in value airways
for absolutely no money.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
They pay nothing.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
All we want is honesty in our elections and honesty
in reporting.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, again, I would point out CBS carried a decent
amount of Trump speech, ABC and NBC did not. I
think this is a direct result of who owns the company,
and we've got to have better owners of a lot
of these media outlets. And this is I mean, you
(26:08):
know who distributes the view Disney. You know who is
consistently the most left wing of the entertainment companies in
my mind that have broadcast licenses, Disney. I don't think
this is coincidental. Look, Buck, I don't think it's coincidental.
It's not MSNBC anymore. They pulled NBC's name off of
(26:30):
MSNBC because I think they believed that the MSNBC brand,
the NBC connection was actually destructive to the idea that
they're a journalistic organization.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Well, I know, you can't have what you had there
for a while was people would sometimes appear on NBC
News who were MSNB. There was a bit of a
bleedover and back and forth, and they would for their
election coverage and stuff like that. So whatever pretend wall
there was.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Between those entities was a joke. In the first place.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
NBC News was still playing the honestly just to boomers,
but playing the we're a news organization game, whereas MSNBC
will allow a little more opinion. They all think the
same thing. It's just a question of whether they try
to do a little bit more of the dishonest, oh
we're in we're journalists thing, which NBC News was doing.
(27:22):
It's all the same thing. They all believe the same thing.
They're all Democrats, they're all left wing. There's no They're
all pulling the exact same levers in the same ways,
the whole thing. So I'm not surprised that all of
that is what ended up happening there. But yeah, I
wonder if there's gonna be any follow through on that.
Speaking of follow through, I thought this was We've got
(27:44):
a bunch of things here to discuss. One of them
is on the remittance thing. But first, actually, listener from
I think his name is, This is k on the
talkbacks guys from South Carolina play it.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Would you both agree that the third place game in
World Cup is really the game everybody wanted to see
as the World Cup.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It depends on who you ask, you know, this is
I would have much rather seen France England in the final,
but England got their asses kicked by Argentina, and Argentina
has somehow been able to just turn it on in
the second half and just destroy anybody who's come close
to beating them and Spain. Look, Spain's the highest rated
(28:29):
team in Europe and Argentina is the highest rated team
in South America or the America's overall. So you can
make an argument, actually, Clay, that this is probably the
best the best pairing in a sense. But I'm still
sad for Jolly Old not so jolly anymore England.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I will say the third place game in general feels
to me like a relic making when you lose your
goal is to win the World Cup, losing the World
Cup in the final four and then playing a third
place game.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I mean, if you use the.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Final four in college basketball as an example, no one
would want to play in a third place game.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I feel like this is just well, how much money?
How much money is there up for? What I would
want to know is how much money is up for grabs?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Because if it's if the consolation prize is everybody on
the team if you win third place, Oh that's a
good question. They all get a half a million bucks
or something, or they get a million whatever it is. Okay,
these guys are professional athletes, like they're going to show up.
I mean, there's them bragging rights. But if it's just
because Yeah, then I want these guys are all super
(29:38):
rich from playing soccer.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, that whatever they're going to make the pride thing
is more impactful to them pride of country than I
think the dollars. I would just suggest humbly that FIFA
do away with the third place game, and if they
want to expand the overall number of teams, they're talking
about sixty four. Now, all those things. By the way,
(29:59):
report that the US is going to get the twenty
thirty one Women's World Cup, which is the next World
Cup up for grabs.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Yay, yay.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
And you know what's really.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Exciting, buck is by twenty thirty one, our women's team
might be majority men pretending to be women, which is
really exciting because we'd really dominate.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Then. The nice thing about watching the Women's World Cup
is if you're ever confused about what's going on, it's
at half speed, so you can really see everything.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Does that mean man, No, it is kind of me,
I think, but it is. It might be a quarter speed.
I I what did you see?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Shape middle aged radio hosts. Everyone's going to get into
comments now, I will say.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Did you see Mega Pino is complaining? Because she's losing Now,
she says, advertising opportunity, sponsorship opportunity, because she's been who
outspoken for men and women's sports. And I'm like, first
of all, who's signing up Megan Repino for anything at
this point? She's a washed up former athlete who is
(31:11):
far left wing. Who's buying any product that Megan Repino
tries to push? That would be my first question. Second,
for years, people wouldn't work with me because they said
I was too controversial, among other things. What was I
controversial for saying men shouldn't be able to play in
women's sports, including sports gambling companies? So we can't work
(31:32):
with Clay Travis. What's the reason, Well, he's too outspoken
on men and women's sports. You're a sports gambling company.
You want to give me a rig job, I'll bet
on every dude to win every women's sport on the planet.
Speaker 10 (31:43):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
And also, I'm sure there are sponsorships for her.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I mean, maybe not with Mercedes Benz, but someone's gotta
sell pink hare Dye, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Pink hare Dye knows rings. She's got a real opportunity.
There's a marketer, there's a market there for the pink
hare dye androgynous clothes. I mean it's a real it's
a real push. If every household had a protection plan

Vince writes in the main Senate candidate looks like meat loaf.
(33:23):
Now is meat Loaf still live or is he dead?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Do we know? Uh?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Rest in peace meat Loaf? She he does kind of
look like meatloaf. Not a good look.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
We've got.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
So we've got a bunch of funny talkbacks. I will say, Buck,
I was just telling you the Savannah banana fans are
coming after me. Debbie just sent me a message, and
I think you're taking some heat here to Buck, even
though you really haven't said anything about the Savannah bananas.
You douchebags need to get over it. These guys are
entertaining as all. X Well, do you are just a
(34:01):
radio host with zero talent?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
F off? Wait?
Speaker 10 (34:06):
Is this?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Wait? Hold on a second, what did I do? I
don't even know what I say.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
I think you're just getting unfairly maligned based on your
connection to me.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yet another time, where grenade thrown for clay, the shrapnel
hits the buck.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
To be fair, the douchebag comment might not include you.
It could include other douchebags not intending to be you.
I also got an angry email about soccer. You know
nothing about soccer. You're trash and Trump cost the USA
the match. You fool now, no excuse, no commas.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I just went into Instagram.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I was like, hey, I wonder if anything's going on
on Instagram, and people are mad at me for all
different sorts of things.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But that is a wide crosspath here.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Also, a lot of people are fired up yesterday about
the about the including Tommy Laren who came out she
was wrong. She's I like it be a dark late
early in the afternoon. That person does look just like
meat loaf. By the way, here is Tiffany in Northern California,
(35:12):
Cutbee clam buck.
Speaker 11 (35:14):
I'm just calling because of the daylight savings time conversation.
Not everybody is on board because for folks like us
who live in California, Northern California, Oregon, Washington State, if
you leave the daylight in the afternoon, it's still dark
around nine am, and it's not safe for kiddos to
(35:37):
go to school like that.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
I don't understand why it's safe for kids to come
home in the dark, but it's not safe for kids
to go to school in the dark, Like there's going
to be dark on one side or the other. You're
either going to be coming home in the dark in
many parts of the country, or you're going to be
going to school in the dark. The data, I think
reflects people speaking would rather have more light light our

I'm a mail carrier, so the more daylight at the
end of the day the better. In December when we
have the most malvine because of Christmas, I'm delivering in
the dark starting at three thirty or four o'clock and
I'm working till five thirty six in the dark.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Would somebody just please think of Monty the mail carrier.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I agree with him.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I want Monty to be safe.
