Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a compelling mix of political analysis, breaking news, and cultural commentary, with a sharp focus on President Donald Trump’s foreign policy initiatives, President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, and the unraveling credibility of legacy media.
The hour begins with a personal update from Buck about fatherhood before shifting to major geopolitical developments. The hosts spotlight President Trump’s high-profile visit to Saudi Arabia, where he announced a historic $600 billion investment deal aimed at strengthening U.S.-Middle East relations. Trump’s speech emphasized peace, innovation, and a firm stance against a nuclear-armed Iran, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to global stability and economic diplomacy.
Clay and Buck then turn to explosive revelations about former President Joe Biden’s mental fitness. They analyze a new Axios report and excerpts from an upcoming book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, which claim Biden failed to recognize longtime acquaintance George Clooney at a 2024 fundraiser. The hosts argue this incident is emblematic of a broader cover-up by the Democratic Party and mainstream media, who allegedly concealed Biden’s cognitive decline from the public, donors, and even members of his own cabinet.
Speculating on Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race, Clay and Buck suggest he was pressured to step down following his disastrous June 27th debate performance—possibly under threat of the 25th Amendment. They theorize that high-ranking Democrats, potentially including Barack Obama, orchestrated Biden’s exit to preserve party control and avoid a constitutional crisis. The hosts revisit the dramatic timeline: Biden’s debate collapse, the attempted assassination of Trump, and Biden’s withdrawal—all within a three-week span that they argue will be studied for generations.
Throughout the hour, the duo criticizes the mainstream media’s complicity in shielding Biden, calling out CNN’s Jake Tapper for only acknowledging the truth post-election. They emphasize that conservative media, including their own show, accurately reported on Biden’s decline in real time, while legacy outlets discredited dissenting voices and misled the public.
The hour concludes with historical comparisons to the 1944 election and President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s hidden health issues, drawing parallels to Biden’s final years in office.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in hour number two Tuesday edition, Clay Travis
Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with
us as we are rolling through the program breaking down
the absolute latest that is going on. Trump has landed.
Oh my goodness, we have a baby. Buck has got
his baby boy just sat down and said hi for
(00:21):
just a second on the video feed of Clay and Buck,
and he is coming up on basically a month old,
I think right now if I'm remembering the math correctly,
which is very exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I never thought I would really have to this way, Clay,
but in the middle of radio show breaks, now I've
got to change diapers. But I'm getting pretty good at it.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, well that is that's a skill set. Just wait
till you start having the diaper change. And then I was,
you know, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I flew. I was in Chicago over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
University of Chicago had a panel discussion on the First
Amendment censorship, lots of fun Jonathan Turley was on it,
among others, and I was on my way back and
in the airport bathroom there was a guy traveling there
from Portland with his little girl. She was like two
years old. They were they had just landed, they were
going to the bathroom and everything else, and you know,
(01:13):
they are washing my hands in the sink and he's like, hey,
you know, like I listened to the show. We talked
about him living in Portland, but he was traveling with
his two year old, and I was like, well, how's
it going. It's like, that's a long flight Portland to
Chicago with a lap child. And it was reminding me
you got this to look forward to, because I told
him over the weekend that this conversation, all three of
(01:36):
my kids when they were in that lap travel child age.
So if you're under two, basically you can travel many
of you know, in the in the lap of your parent.
All three of them different times threw up on me
in the air on airplanes, all three of them at
three different times, all while being lap babies, just absolute
(02:01):
just unloaded on me. And I just remember all those times.
You know, you're just sitting there just I mean, this
is going to inevitably happen to you at some point.
I feel like it's happened to every parent. So you're
in the diaper changing at some point, you'll be in
the midst of a diaper change when you have the
blow up happened, right.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh, I had, I've already I've already gotten hit with
the sprinkler system a few times. You've gotten hit by
the sprinkler. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
That's the thing is it's kind of impressive, even at
a young age. How far that was amazed. Yeah, it's
like the old Super Circle commercial.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, back in the day.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It is.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It is kind of extraordinary, even with babies, how far
that that stuff could hit the splash pad zone. But
I was bringing us in here. Trump has landed in
Saudi Arabia, and he took off yesterday during the show.
I think it's an eleven or twelve hour flight to
Saudi Arabia. They've already been been doing a bunch of
(02:56):
events in Saudi Arabia, and I just wanted to familiar
es you guys with what's going on, including Saudi Arabia
announcing that they will be investing somewhere around six hundred
billion dollars in America. And I believe we have multiple
different cuts here. Let's go with cut thirty two. I
(03:16):
think this just happened in the last hour or so
in the Middle East. This is Trump in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Before our eyes.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
A new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts
of tired divisions of the past and forging a future
where the Middle East is defined by commerce not chaos,
where it exports technology not terrorism, and where people of
different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not
(03:44):
bombing each other out of existence. We don't want that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
This is why.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Again, there are many reasons that the attacks on Trump
have fallen flat. But I like this cut thirty four
that we have too talking about. After some decades of conflict,
Trump basically is just trying to avoid there being any
more conflict, which I would think most people would have
to agree is a good thing.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Cut thirty four.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
After so many decades of conflict. Finally, it is within
our grasp to reach the future that generations before us
could only dream about, a land of peace, safety, harmony, opportunity,
innovation and achievement right here in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, and one more thing, buck, that is probably the
most significant decision that has to be made in the
Middle East, and maybe in all of geopolitical decision making
for Trump going forward. What are we going to do
about Iran and how do we handle keeping them ideally
from getting a nuclear weapon? Cut thirty five. Trump just
(04:46):
talked about it in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
But with that set Aaran can have a much brighter future.
Will never allow American and as allies to be threatened
with terrorism or nuclear attack. The choices theirs to make.
We really we want them to be a successful country.
We want them to be a wonderful, safe, great country,
but they cannot have a nuclear weapon. This is an
(05:09):
offer that will not last forever. The time is right
now for them to choose right now. We don't have
a lot of time to wait.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Uh Okay, So that is going on? Buck, Can you
believe this? There is more news about Biden's dementia breaking.
Have you seen this yet? Axios is reporting that Joe
Biden didn't recognize George Clooney at the June twenty twenty
four fundraiser that Clooney hosted in LA despite the two
(05:41):
having known each other for fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I mean, are we supposed to like what?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Of course, but this is I do think it explains
why George Clooney wrote that op ed. But what he
should have done is wrote the op ed and said
said that Joe Biden did not know who I was,
he cannot be president, and.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
He refused to burn the ships. In fact, Cortes Scott
Old didn't burn the ships, but that's a whole other conversation.
He refused to go all in because he knew that
there was a chance it would fail, and then he
would have completely destroyed Biden's chance if he stayed in.
So instead he pushed that op ed and didn't tell
the most That should have been the first line. If
(06:25):
that was the first line of Biden's op ed, I'm
sorry of Clooney's op ed about Biden. There would have
been no choice but to have an immediate, you know,
meeting and basically say, look, we're gonna have the twenty
fifth Amendment going.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You're look sorry, I'm just lapping the quotes from the book.
You know George, an aide told Biden when he met
Clooney at the fundraiser, George Clooney. The aide said, oh yeah,
Biden said, part of the book. Hi, George Clooney was
shaken to his core. The President hadn't recognized him, a
(06:59):
man he had known for years.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Uh again, I just.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Clooney wrote and said we need a new nominee. He
didn't say, I've known this guy for fifteen years and
his brain is so deteriorated that he had no idea
who we are. And look, I'm not trying to like
blow up George Clooney here, but you and I would
freaking know George Clooney if we saw him, right, and
we've never met him in our entire life, because he
(07:29):
is a famous movie star, just like I would know
Julia Roberts if I saw her.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Here's Here's also, though, what we cannot lose sight of
as we're seeing these revelations. He shouldn't have been allowed
to finish out his presidency. I know they'll say, oh,
it was fine, and you know there was no no,
he was not of sound mind. They should have said
you resign or we're using the twenty fifth Amendment. They
(07:56):
should have said you're out, because what if we get
hit with the first strike from an You know, I'm
sorry this the whole thing was a total sham and
we cannot.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Let this go. Let me also point this out, book.
If George Clooney is saying Biden didn't recognize me, are
you really telling me that all the high end Hollywood
people didn't hear that George Clooney story. You know, for
everybody out there that is claiming, how could we have
known when George Clooney isn't recognized by Biden in June
(08:31):
of twenty twenty four. Okay, everybody who's at a high
level in Hollywood hears that story and is aware of it,
and it didn't go public.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
So well, here's what I think happened. Again, whatever they're
telling you in this book is for a reason, and
it's not to tell you the truth. They're trying to
manipulate public opinion around this issue. Okay, these are partisans
writing the book. They are partisans pushing this narrative. Clay,
You've always asked who who ordered the code read? Who
(09:02):
was the one who finally pushed him out? How did
that conversation go? I think I had said initially when
we had these discussions, Pelosi probably sat down with him
and said, you know, your family will be forever exiled
from the Democrat elite. No cushy gigs for you know,
your grandchildren, no waved into Brown and Harvard and whatever,
(09:26):
even if they're total ne'er dowell idiots. Yep, which is
classic for all these Democrat politicians' kids. They you know,
they just wave in these kids that are can barely spell.
I think also she might have said, the cloning story
goes public if you don't step down now, that would
be a total that's a mutually assured destruction moment, because
(09:47):
that's saying we're going to give Trump the election. But
if you're Joe Biden, then you know it's all it's
all over for you right then, you know, And by
the way that story goes public, I don't think he's
allowed to finish out his term. So that's the leverage
that they may have had to get him to. Finally, Clay,
he didn't want to go on you last? How long
did he last?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Three weeks after the debate?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
How long?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Three weeks after the debate? Are week twenty seven? Three
weeks after that debate? He hung in there. He didn't
want to go. Yeah, how'd they get him to go?
I think they said, you either step aside, or rather
you either step aside for the election and we'll let
you finish your term, or we blow this whole thing up.
Twenty fifth Amendment commonly becomes a president anyway and you're done.
(10:31):
That's what somebody go back and pull this. What you
just laid out is my theory for how they got Bien.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I think they threatened him with the twenty fifth Amendment.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It hasn't come public yet, but I think they said,
you're not able to do the job.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
We are going to blow you up. Your option is
you have to withdraw.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And remember also look at how craven that is. Because
the twenty fifth Amendment clay. If they were willing to
threaten to use it, it means that they should have used it. Totally.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I agree with you, but think about it's fun for
me take a step back and think about how history
will cover this, because we're living in the moment and
sometimes stories can come and they can go. This story,
I think is going to echo for generations. Think about
what happened, what we all experience Buck June twenty seventh,
the debate where Biden just comes out and is basically
(11:23):
a catatonic zombie that immediately calls begin to replace Biden.
July thirteenth, Trump gets hit in the ear by an
assassin bullet. July twenty one, Biden drops out. How many
more consequential three plus week periods in American presidential politics
(11:45):
have we ever seen in our lives? Think about those
three dates Buck June twenty seventh, Biden Trump debate. Biden
is basically a zombie. July thirteenth, the guy that we
still know nothing about. Might I mention the guy in Butler,
Pennsylvania that is basically a ghost.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
We don't know anything about him. He doesn't have any
background they have.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
He clips Trump's ear and almost blows his head off
on television. The day before the RNC starts. July twenty one,
Biden drops out all three of those boom boom boom,
historically resonant in a way that rarely happens. I'm telling you,
at long after we are all dead, everybody listening to
(12:27):
this right now is gone. They will be writing books
about this twenty twenty four campaign, which people one hundred
years from now are going to be like, there's no
way all this actually happened.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
This is the craziest election. Is there a crazier election?
I don't know that there's a crazier I mean, American
you have to go with like Civil War Error v.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Eighteen sixty four.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I mean I think you'd have to go to like
eighteen sixty or eighteen sixty four, I really do.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But I mean definitely twenty first century or twenty yeah,
twenty first century, twentieth century.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
No question, the lives of anybody living right now now,
maybe maybe the election in forty four that happened during
World War two, if some of you were old enough
to have remembered that, when Roosevelt they covered up his
mental and physical deterioration.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, but they were successful war. Yeah, they were successful though. Right,
That's the thing. And this is the other crazy thing
to keep in mind, everybody. If Biden doesn't go to
that debate, that's why I say they do.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We need to know.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But they they got desperate because Biden was sliding so
much in the polls against Trump. They thought he could
pull it off. They took the gamble. The gamble was
he just has to look like his eyes are open,
and they got to inject him with whatever they got
to do for the night, and then we're then we
can turn this thing around. Right then the media will
(13:46):
help us carry this home. If he had just not
done that debate, he would have been the nominee. And
you know, on any given Sunday, man, I mean, who knows, right,
I think Trump still wins that, but it's he would
have been the nominee.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I think what happened Buck is the Grand Poobas went
to Biden. They said, the stories coming out about Biden's
mental and physical condition are bad. You have to prove
that he has the wherewithal debate early. I think at
some point we're going to find out that they put
the pressure on Team Biden to prove that he was
up to the job, and they didn't want it out publicly.
(14:24):
But June twenty seventh was Biden just like the State
of the Union. Remember they he actually think the Union.
I think you may be right.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I think that the reason though that this, I think
the concern came from he was already losing, and he
was an incumbent president, and he was already losing to Trump,
so there was a desperation. They forced him. Somebody who
is in power forced him to do that. June twenty
seventh debate, And again George Clooney wrote, writes the editorial,
but he's telling us one tenth of the story when
(14:54):
he says Biden needs to drop out. Are you planning
to go overseas on vacation this summer? Irs may have
other plans for you. If you've received any IRS notice
in the mail, don't ignore them. This never ends well
for starters. They have the authority to revoke your passport.
IRS is serious when they write notices warning you of
bank levies or wage garnishments. They'll follow through.

At noon Eastern in the Kleinbook podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Be find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
All right, welcome back, and we've been talking a lot
about this. Here is CNN's Jake Tapper towarding the storyline that, well,
the White House lied to us. All that's why we
didn't know that Biden was mister magoo played for.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
The White House was lying not only to the press,
not only to the public, but they were lying to
members of their own cabinet. They were lying to White
House staffers, they were lying to Democratic members of Congress,
to donors about how bad things had gotten. And in fact,
Alex and I started writing this book after the election
of twenty twenty four, and we spoke with more than
two hundred people, most of whom, almost all of whom
(16:48):
were Democrats, and almost all of whom wouldn't be honest
with us or wouldn't be candid with us until after
the election. And then after the election we found out
all of these things that when you looked at what
was going on with asident Biden at the time, it
probably doesn't surprise you the extent to which he was deteriorating.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Here's the problem, Jake, we knew that that was happening,
and we said it, and you knew it too. And
you didn't say it, so you're complicit in it. Here's
another problem, Clay. You look at this, you say to yourself,
the White House is lying? Who's the White House name?
Who was doing the lying? Name the names?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I would just say, Okay, Then how did Clay and
Buck see all of this?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Like? How you know we're not in the White House
every day? What I told you is totally true. We
saw Joe Biden for the best five percent of his
day that they could put forward, every single time that
he was doing a public event, and it was clear
that he was not mentally and physically up to the job.
For anyone who was being honest, they're lying about not
(17:54):
seeing what was going on.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Well, none of us can control where the few future
is when it comes to the global economy. The fact
of the matter is that we got a huge debt
and we got some challenges ahead. And one of the
ways that you can hedge against that uncertainty is investing
in gold. Gold maybe the best hedge against inflation. And
we're going to continue to have to battle that. We're
going to continue to have to see what happens with
(18:19):
bringing the debt under control. Now, I just think a
portion of your savings or even an old IRA or
four to one k transitioned into gold makes a lot
of sense and Birch Gold Group is who you should

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Today, Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show the
truth now being told, which.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
All of us knew in advance.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
If you missed it, reports today coming like gangbusters. They
thought they were going to have to put Biden in
a wheelchair. That George Clooney says, despite knowing Biden for
fifteen years that when he met him in June of
twenty twenty four, Biden did not know who he was.
(19:25):
And we've been having a really interesting discussion that's continued
off air. You know, Buck, you mentioned the nineteen forty
four election. We were talking about the history and how
the twenty four election that we all just lived through,
the entire campaign is going to be written and talked
(19:47):
about for hundreds of years as a Oh my goodness,
can you believe this happened after many of us, all
of us that are listening right now are gone. This
is a historically resident era. A lot of presidential elections
people don't write about very much. For instance, Barack Obama's
big run against Mitt Romney in twenty twelve. I don't
think there's going to be best selling books written about
(20:09):
that campaign in the decades. A cunt to come. But
you mentioned forty four and they lied about FDR's health.
Maybe necessary because we're in the middle of a war
with Nazis and they don't want it out that FDR
is maybe not up to being the top president. Let
(20:30):
me ask you this. Pretend you are George Clooney. All right,
you're you know, hundreds of millions of dollars, You're worth it,
your Hollywood royalty, you're a very overrated actor. Yes, you
throw this big festive Hollywood event in June for Joe Biden,
(20:52):
and he doesn't recognize you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Just to be clear, Clay, I mean as much as
I like to take shots, because I think it's true
that George Clooney is not a picarly you know, good actor.
He's incredibly famous. That is correctly the case. That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Like you and I have never met George Clooney, if
we would know who George Clooney was right away, anybody
really in America I think would probably know who George
Clooney is. Anyone in American public life okay, ye, not
some guy maybe who like you know, lives off grid
in the Yukon by himself or something. Anyone who is
in public life would know who George Clooney is right away.
He's at that level of familiarity and famousness. I hate
(21:28):
to say it, but it's true where you would know.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I mean this. You know, if you met Tom Cruise,
I think you'd know who Tom Cruise is right away.
You wouldn't. You couldn't put you know what you couldn't
do with Tom Cruise. I'm sorry, sir, What do you
do like that wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah, would be It would be tough.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Though there's like fifty people in America where it would
be tough for you to pretend that you didn't know
what they did. Like if you and I met Leonardo
DiCaprio and we walked up to him and we're like, yeah,
so what do you do for a living?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
It's like Titanic. You ever see it?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
You know, Tom Cruise, you know I made Top Gun Jerk,
you know, Like there's a good Adam Sandler bit.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I was at his comedy special a couple of years
ago where he's got a teenage daughter and she was
dating a guy, and he pretended that he didn't know
who Adam Sandler was, and it just kept accelerating, like
you know, they were meeting for the date, and he's like, listen, kid,
you don't need to pretend that you don't know what
I do for a living, right, Like, I'm Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
You've watched twenty of my movies.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
But it's very funny from his perspective because he's getting
increasingly angry at this teenage boy who's dating his daughter.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
But let's go back. You're George Clooney.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You are throwing I don't know that thing probably raised
forty million dollars for Joe Biden's reelection, we know that
he ends up writing the editorial when you know that
the president is clear. And by the way, do you
remember the viral video of Obama having to lead Biden
off the stage at that event? Do you remember that, Buck?
(22:56):
We shared it and people said, well, this is not
an accurate reflection of Biden being lost, and some of
the answers you could tell Biden wasn't on.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
His game in any way.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
What's the right thing to do then, because if you go,
here's what we said this on the show. As soon
as Trump won on November fifth, we came on and
we said, hey, this is actually a really scary time
because Biden's still in charge theoretically from November sixth, after
(23:30):
election day, until January twentieth, and we are going to
be at nearly our weakest point because the president is
no longer the president really, but he's still in office
till January twentieth. What it raises to me, Buck, is
two questions. One, and this may be the most important question,
who's actually been president for the last two years? Who
(23:53):
has actually been making the hard decisions that you and
I and everybody else out there elects the president to
make Who was the president in twenty twenty three and
twenty twenty four? Was it Joe Biden? Was she the
Claire Underwood in House of Cards where basically she's running
(24:16):
the White House?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Was it like the at least we would have had
a doctor in charge, so we know she's really smart.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Was it, like, I mean, for the history nerds out there,
was it Edith Wilson When we had President Woodrow Wilson
had a stroke and they basically hit him in the
White House and his wife ran the presidency for a
couple of years. So question one which should be asked
is who actually was president of the United States in
twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Second part of this.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
What should you do?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Because if you go public and say, if George Clooney
had gone public and said, hey, Joe Biden doesn't know
who I am anymore, I think you're right, Buck. I
think immediately you say, Okay, twenty fifth Amendment has to
be put in place. He can't be president anymore. His
brain is not up to the task of being president,
which is why I think they threatened him with removal
(25:10):
to get him to step down. I will go to
my grave believing that they went to Joe Biden and
they said, we know that you cannot do this anymore.
After June twenty seventh, we're going to remove you from office.
If you step down and endorse Kamala will allow you
to finish your term. You will not have the indignity
(25:32):
of being moved out of the White House in advance
of your term ending. We'll cover all this up and
we'll just try to get Grandpa Joe through June twenty
January twentieth, and if we can manage that, then your
legacy in some way is protected. I will go to
(25:52):
my grave and maybe it's going to come out eventually
that at some point in time, the leadership of the
Democrat already maybe it was Obama, went to Joe Biden
and said, hey, based on everything I'm hearing, I'm going
to go public with the need to remove you from office.
If you don't announce you're not running and you step down.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I can see it all playing out in that way.
My only, my only proviso, if you will on all
this is or my my condition is do the people
who pushed him out want it known? Will we ever
really know because they caused the disaster for the Democrats.
(26:39):
You know, Biden is still arguing, for obvious reasons, that
he would have done better than Kamala in the election.
You can disagree on that, But what you can disagree
on is that by pushing Biden out, you basically sunk
the cruise ship and the escape vessels you took down
by and Kamala in one election, the Democrat president and
(27:05):
the vice president, who is generally considered the future of
the party both sunk. So it is a massive, a
massive blunder that somebody would be essentially owning up to, right,
And I just I just don't know if there's anyone
who's willing to do that. I really I just think
that that's that's a lot you're taking on a lot
(27:27):
with that.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I think it has to be somebody like Obama, who's
already been elected twice, who still lives in Washington, DC,
whose wife may hate him, or vice versa, because there's
still a lot of drama there. I think that I
think that something may have that that he was that
(27:51):
he ordered the code read. I think Obama ordered the
code red on on Biden.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I think Obama that would make sense because Yeah, Obama
has been catastrophic for the Democrat Party. Other than Obama elections,
Obama delivered nothing but the strings of losses for Democrats.
You know how Trump always goes around. We've almost just
gotten so used to it we forget about it saying
I endorse this person, I endorse that person, and that
(28:15):
for Trump, a lot of people won their elections because
of the Trump endorsement. Obama dragged the Democrat Party's fortunes down. Yeah,
the midterm in with with with Hillary in twenty sixteen,
Obama has been essentially electoral poison for Democrats except for
when he himself was running. That's it, so I believe, I.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Just I think that's the only thing.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And by the way, this isn't gonna be that there's
more devastating revelations that are coming here because the books wins.
The book out next week. The book is not out
until next week, and they're basically priming the pump for
Biden to be obliterated. And I think Buck, this is
why Biden suddenly went back public. I think his team
(29:04):
saw this book, got an advanced copy of it some way,
and I think they made the decision to uh to
decide that they needed to pre butt the arguments about
Biden's mental and physical cognitive decline, and unfortunately for them,
they went on the View and Biden couldn't even handle
a relatively short interview on the View without falling all
(29:27):
over himself.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
This also just shows you how cruel, cruel, yes, deceptive,
and dishonest we've gotten into that in such detail. There's
something and I felt this way the whole time. I
used to talk about how it reminded me of grandfather
I was very close to when you know, when he
reached that stage where he really needed help. You know,
where my visits to him instead of him telling me
you know, cool stories about New York in the forties
(29:49):
and fifties and you know, being on the aircraft carry
in World War Two, it was me, you know, bringing
him tea and putting a blanket over over his knees
for him. You know that I saw that with Biden.
There's something so inhumane about pushing this guy forward in
this way in these years of his life. I'm not
saying that Biden didn't want it. I think he did,
(30:10):
but people around him should have been like, you know what, man,
it's done, It's done. His wife top of the list.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
As you've said, Joe Biden is going to become a
huge part of this story. And I've been saying it
on this show, you, to you, and everybody else for years.
Imagine what she saw. We saw Biden for five percent
of the day. George Clooney barely saw him for years.
A lot of these aids, to be fair, restricted access
to the president. Imagine what Jill saw and heard in
(30:42):
the last couple of years from her husband, and yet
she was arguing publicly, Oh, he needs to maintain the presidency.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I mean, my wife tells me my memory is not
good enough. How many times do I go to the
grocery store and I'm supposed to pick up milk or
plastic baggies and I forget.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I Look, I had.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
This conversation with my wife. I said, I have a
public job. You're going to outlive me by thirty years
at some point in time. If you start to notice
that I am not in any way what I used
to be in terms of speaking publicly or just day
to day my brain function, you need to tell me.
And it's partly brought on by Biden because I don't
(31:25):
want to be the Biden equivalent of radio.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
It's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, all right, well we'll take some calls here on
what you think. Also, I'm going to bring us into
the latest the reactions to the fifty count of fifty
refugees from South Africa that Democrats are just in a
frenzy about. They're so upset about this. We'll talk about it.
You know, the number of us that become victims of
identity theft is in the millions each year. It's almost pathetic.
(31:53):
I mean, the number is crazy when you think about
how many of us are being taken advantage of by
these criminals online. But they're really good at it. I've
gotten the text messages you have to they've gotten a
lot sneakier, a lot, a lot more clever. And there's
also sometimes things that you just it's not in your
hands at all, like when a database of personal information
is hacked. You know, you give your credit cards online.
(32:14):
Guess what if that information gets hacked somewhere, you can
be the victim of identity theft. This is why you
need LifeLock. LifeLock membership allows you to help get protection
from online identity theft. LifeLock monitors millions of data points
a second for risks to your online identity, and they

Speaker 3 (32:58):
News you can count on as some laughs too. Clay
Travis at Buck Sexton.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Podcasts, and welcome back into Clay and Boss. Let's get
some calls, some talkbacks, some good things coming our way here.
Remember the talkback feature on the iHeart app. What you
should all have on your phone. We got Glenn and
Saint Louis wants to chat. What's going on? Glenn?
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Good to get in here and get to talk to
you guys. Hey, I was just more or less just
touching base with you. Guys were talking about Biden his decline,
but like I was telling the other gentleman, uh, you know,
when he was and Obama picked him his VP, he
was making all these weird and and just like don't
(33:46):
ride the subway, don't don't do this, don't do this,
to the point where Obama kind of had to put
him in the corner for a while and say, hey,
don't talk to anybody right now. I mean even even then.
So I think it's always been there, but it made
but it may have gotten worse. But I think it's
always kind of been there on some of the stuff
that he's always said and just off the wall things
(34:06):
that he come up with. So it's kind of what
I was point. I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Make sure, thank you, I think it is go ahead,
Clay No, I was just gonna say buck. Remember Obama
specifically chose not to anoint Joe Biden as a successor
in twenty two, which was a big deal when someone's
been your VP for eight years. Yes, you know what
I mean, that's something's going on there, and clearly Obama knew.
(34:32):
I think that there were built in liabilities of having
Biden as the standard bearer well.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
And the other thing I would add there too, is
that explains all of the Hunter Biden cash grab because
I think again logically, Biden thought his career was over
in politics, and I think he said, hey, let's make
as much money as we possibly can while we can.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Then Trump wins, because I think he thought Hillary's gonna win,
She'll be pre asident for eight years. I'll be you know,
scrambled eggs. I got no future. And then that didn't happen,
and then recklessly they decided to put him forward because
otherwise Bernie would.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Have been the nominee.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And then COVID happened and they were able to hide him.
They put him in the basement. You didn't actually have
to see him on the trail, like all the frailty
and everything else was hidden in many ways.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Actually, everybody, this is justice. You know that this complete
collapse that's happening with the pro Biden media and the
complete humiliation of so many of these people who were
lying to all of us, lying to you, lying across
the board about Joe Biden. They deserve this, They deserve
this feeling of oh my gosh, what do we do
(35:44):
now everyone is laughing at us and no one believes
us anymore. They earned this, so it's important. This is
a bit like you know, balance is restoring to the
king of being restored to the kingdom. Here, this is
like decency and truth justice in the American way, making
it comeback. What they did with Biden was unconscionable, unconscionable,
(36:05):
and they did it for years, and they knew exactly
what they were doing. Because we knew what they were doing,
and we said it at the.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Time we were right.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
And now all the receipts we even told you about
the books, go back and listen. We said they're going
to be all the truth will be told as soon
as the election's over all of the behind the scenes
Biden was incompetent and incapable and riddled with dementia. All
the stories are going to come out, and they are
now officially rolling out. But when we come back, you
want to talk about this story out of South Africa
(36:35):
and the continued fallout over US accepting roughly fifty refugees
from that country. We'll dive into that. We'll also take
a bunch of your calls eight hundred and two two
two eight a two. You can also give us your
talkbacks as we are reacting obviously to everything going on,
including Trump still in the Middle East, all that more.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Third hour of the program up next
Welcome back in hour number two Tuesday edition, Clay Travis
Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with
us as we are rolling through the program breaking down
the absolute latest that is going on. Trump has landed.
Oh my goodness, we have a baby. Buck has got
his baby boy just sat down and said hi for
(00:21):
just a second on the video feed of Clay and Buck,
and he is coming up on basically a month old,
I think right now if I'm remembering the math correctly,
which is very exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I never thought I would really have to this way, Clay,
but in the middle of radio show breaks, now I've
got to change diapers. But I'm getting pretty good at it.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, well that is that's a skill set. Just wait
till you start having the diaper change. And then I was,
you know, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I flew. I was in Chicago over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
University of Chicago had a panel discussion on the First
Amendment censorship, lots of fun Jonathan Turley was on it,
among others, and I was on my way back and
in the airport bathroom there was a guy traveling there
from Portland with his little girl. She was like two
years old. They were they had just landed, they were
going to the bathroom and everything else, and you know,
(01:13):
they are washing my hands in the sink and he's like, hey,
you know, like I listened to the show. We talked
about him living in Portland, but he was traveling with
his two year old, and I was like, well, how's
it going. It's like, that's a long flight Portland to
Chicago with a lap child. And it was reminding me
you got this to look forward to, because I told
him over the weekend that this conversation, all three of
(01:36):
my kids when they were in that lap travel child age.
So if you're under two, basically you can travel many
of you know, in the in the lap of your parent.
All three of them different times threw up on me
in the air on airplanes, all three of them at
three different times, all while being lap babies, just absolute
(02:01):
just unloaded on me. And I just remember all those times.
You know, you're just sitting there just I mean, this
is going to inevitably happen to you at some point.
I feel like it's happened to every parent. So you're
in the diaper changing at some point, you'll be in
the midst of a diaper change when you have the
blow up happened, right.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh, I had, I've already I've already gotten hit with
the sprinkler system a few times. You've gotten hit by
the sprinkler. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
That's the thing is it's kind of impressive, even at
a young age. How far that was amazed. Yeah, it's
like the old Super Circle commercial.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, back in the day.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It is.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It is kind of extraordinary, even with babies, how far
that that stuff could hit the splash pad zone. But
I was bringing us in here. Trump has landed in
Saudi Arabia, and he took off yesterday during the show.
I think it's an eleven or twelve hour flight to
Saudi Arabia. They've already been been doing a bunch of
(02:56):
events in Saudi Arabia, and I just wanted to familiar
es you guys with what's going on, including Saudi Arabia
announcing that they will be investing somewhere around six hundred
billion dollars in America. And I believe we have multiple
different cuts here. Let's go with cut thirty two. I
(03:16):
think this just happened in the last hour or so
in the Middle East. This is Trump in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Before our eyes.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
A new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts
of tired divisions of the past and forging a future
where the Middle East is defined by commerce not chaos,
where it exports technology not terrorism, and where people of
different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not
(03:44):
bombing each other out of existence. We don't want that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
This is why.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Again, there are many reasons that the attacks on Trump
have fallen flat. But I like this cut thirty four
that we have too talking about. After some decades of conflict,
Trump basically is just trying to avoid there being any
more conflict, which I would think most people would have
to agree is a good thing.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Cut thirty four.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
After so many decades of conflict. Finally, it is within
our grasp to reach the future that generations before us
could only dream about, a land of peace, safety, harmony, opportunity,
innovation and achievement right here in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, and one more thing, buck, that is probably the
most significant decision that has to be made in the
Middle East, and maybe in all of geopolitical decision making
for Trump going forward. What are we going to do
about Iran and how do we handle keeping them ideally
from getting a nuclear weapon? Cut thirty five. Trump just
(04:46):
talked about it in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
But with that set Aaran can have a much brighter future.
Will never allow American and as allies to be threatened
with terrorism or nuclear attack. The choices theirs to make.
We really we want them to be a successful country.
We want them to be a wonderful, safe, great country,
but they cannot have a nuclear weapon. This is an
(05:09):
offer that will not last forever. The time is right
now for them to choose right now. We don't have
a lot of time to wait.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Uh Okay, So that is going on? Buck, Can you
believe this? There is more news about Biden's dementia breaking.
Have you seen this yet? Axios is reporting that Joe
Biden didn't recognize George Clooney at the June twenty twenty
four fundraiser that Clooney hosted in LA despite the two
(05:41):
having known each other for fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I mean, are we supposed to like what?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Of course, but this is I do think it explains
why George Clooney wrote that op ed. But what he
should have done is wrote the op ed and said
said that Joe Biden did not know who I was,
he cannot be president, and.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
He refused to burn the ships. In fact, Cortes Scott
Old didn't burn the ships, but that's a whole other conversation.
He refused to go all in because he knew that
there was a chance it would fail, and then he
would have completely destroyed Biden's chance if he stayed in.
So instead he pushed that op ed and didn't tell
the most That should have been the first line. If
(06:25):
that was the first line of Biden's op ed, I'm
sorry of Clooney's op ed about Biden. There would have
been no choice but to have an immediate, you know,
meeting and basically say, look, we're gonna have the twenty
fifth Amendment going.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You're look sorry, I'm just lapping the quotes from the book.
You know George, an aide told Biden when he met
Clooney at the fundraiser, George Clooney. The aide said, oh yeah,
Biden said, part of the book. Hi, George Clooney was
shaken to his core. The President hadn't recognized him, a
(06:59):
man he had known for years.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Uh again, I just.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Clooney wrote and said we need a new nominee. He
didn't say, I've known this guy for fifteen years and
his brain is so deteriorated that he had no idea
who we are. And look, I'm not trying to like
blow up George Clooney here, but you and I would
freaking know George Clooney if we saw him, right, and
we've never met him in our entire life, because he
(07:29):
is a famous movie star, just like I would know
Julia Roberts if I saw her.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Here's Here's also, though, what we cannot lose sight of
as we're seeing these revelations. He shouldn't have been allowed
to finish out his presidency. I know they'll say, oh,
it was fine, and you know there was no no,
he was not of sound mind. They should have said
you resign or we're using the twenty fifth Amendment. They
(07:56):
should have said you're out, because what if we get
hit with the first strike from an You know, I'm
sorry this the whole thing was a total sham and
we cannot.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Let this go. Let me also point this out, book.
If George Clooney is saying Biden didn't recognize me, are
you really telling me that all the high end Hollywood
people didn't hear that George Clooney story. You know, for
everybody out there that is claiming, how could we have
known when George Clooney isn't recognized by Biden in June
(08:31):
of twenty twenty four. Okay, everybody who's at a high
level in Hollywood hears that story and is aware of it,
and it didn't go public.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
So well, here's what I think happened. Again, whatever they're
telling you in this book is for a reason, and
it's not to tell you the truth. They're trying to
manipulate public opinion around this issue. Okay, these are partisans
writing the book. They are partisans pushing this narrative. Clay,
You've always asked who who ordered the code read? Who
(09:02):
was the one who finally pushed him out? How did
that conversation go? I think I had said initially when
we had these discussions, Pelosi probably sat down with him
and said, you know, your family will be forever exiled
from the Democrat elite. No cushy gigs for you know,
your grandchildren, no waved into Brown and Harvard and whatever,
(09:26):
even if they're total ne'er dowell idiots. Yep, which is
classic for all these Democrat politicians' kids. They you know,
they just wave in these kids that are can barely spell.
I think also she might have said, the cloning story
goes public if you don't step down now, that would
be a total that's a mutually assured destruction moment, because
(09:47):
that's saying we're going to give Trump the election. But
if you're Joe Biden, then you know it's all it's
all over for you right then, you know, And by
the way that story goes public, I don't think he's
allowed to finish out his term. So that's the leverage
that they may have had to get him to. Finally, Clay,
he didn't want to go on you last? How long
did he last?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Three weeks after the debate?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
How long?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Three weeks after the debate? Are week twenty seven? Three
weeks after that debate? He hung in there. He didn't
want to go. Yeah, how'd they get him to go?
I think they said, you either step aside, or rather
you either step aside for the election and we'll let
you finish your term, or we blow this whole thing up.
Twenty fifth Amendment commonly becomes a president anyway and you're done.
(10:31):
That's what somebody go back and pull this. What you
just laid out is my theory for how they got Bien.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I think they threatened him with the twenty fifth Amendment.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It hasn't come public yet, but I think they said,
you're not able to do the job.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
We are going to blow you up. Your option is
you have to withdraw.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And remember also look at how craven that is. Because
the twenty fifth Amendment clay. If they were willing to
threaten to use it, it means that they should have used it. Totally.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I agree with you, but think about it's fun for
me take a step back and think about how history
will cover this, because we're living in the moment and
sometimes stories can come and they can go. This story,
I think is going to echo for generations. Think about
what happened, what we all experience Buck June twenty seventh,
the debate where Biden just comes out and is basically
(11:23):
a catatonic zombie that immediately calls begin to replace Biden.
July thirteenth, Trump gets hit in the ear by an
assassin bullet. July twenty one, Biden drops out. How many
more consequential three plus week periods in American presidential politics
(11:45):
have we ever seen in our lives? Think about those
three dates Buck June twenty seventh, Biden Trump debate. Biden
is basically a zombie. July thirteenth, the guy that we
still know nothing about. Might I mention the guy in Butler,
Pennsylvania that is basically a ghost.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
We don't know anything about him. He doesn't have any
background they have.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
He clips Trump's ear and almost blows his head off
on television. The day before the RNC starts. July twenty one,
Biden drops out all three of those boom boom boom,
historically resonant in a way that rarely happens. I'm telling you,
at long after we are all dead, everybody listening to
(12:27):
this right now is gone. They will be writing books
about this twenty twenty four campaign, which people one hundred
years from now are going to be like, there's no
way all this actually happened.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
This is the craziest election. Is there a crazier election?
I don't know that there's a crazier I mean, American
you have to go with like Civil War Error v.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Eighteen sixty four.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I mean I think you'd have to go to like
eighteen sixty or eighteen sixty four, I really do.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But I mean definitely twenty first century or twenty yeah,
twenty first century, twentieth century.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
No question, the lives of anybody living right now now,
maybe maybe the election in forty four that happened during
World War two, if some of you were old enough
to have remembered that, when Roosevelt they covered up his
mental and physical deterioration.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, but they were successful war. Yeah, they were successful though. Right,
That's the thing. And this is the other crazy thing
to keep in mind, everybody. If Biden doesn't go to
that debate, that's why I say they do.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We need to know.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But they they got desperate because Biden was sliding so
much in the polls against Trump. They thought he could
pull it off. They took the gamble. The gamble was
he just has to look like his eyes are open,
and they got to inject him with whatever they got
to do for the night, and then we're then we
can turn this thing around. Right then the media will
(13:46):
help us carry this home. If he had just not
done that debate, he would have been the nominee. And
you know, on any given Sunday, man, I mean, who knows, right,
I think Trump still wins that, but it's he would
have been the nominee.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I think what happened Buck is the Grand Poobas went
to Biden. They said, the stories coming out about Biden's
mental and physical condition are bad. You have to prove
that he has the wherewithal debate early. I think at
some point we're going to find out that they put
the pressure on Team Biden to prove that he was
up to the job, and they didn't want it out publicly.
(14:24):
But June twenty seventh was Biden just like the State
of the Union. Remember they he actually think the Union.
I think you may be right.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I think that the reason though that this, I think
the concern came from he was already losing, and he
was an incumbent president, and he was already losing to Trump,
so there was a desperation. They forced him. Somebody who
is in power forced him to do that. June twenty
seventh debate, And again George Clooney wrote, writes the editorial,
but he's telling us one tenth of the story when
(14:54):
he says Biden needs to drop out. Are you planning
to go overseas on vacation this summer? Irs may have
other plans for you. If you've received any IRS notice
in the mail, don't ignore them. This never ends well
for starters. They have the authority to revoke your passport.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Be find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
All right, welcome back, and we've been talking a lot
about this. Here is CNN's Jake Tapper towarding the storyline that, well,
the White House lied to us. All that's why we
didn't know that Biden was mister magoo played for.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
The White House was lying not only to the press,
not only to the public, but they were lying to
members of their own cabinet. They were lying to White
House staffers, they were lying to Democratic members of Congress,
to donors about how bad things had gotten. And in fact,
Alex and I started writing this book after the election
of twenty twenty four, and we spoke with more than
two hundred people, most of whom, almost all of whom
(16:48):
were Democrats, and almost all of whom wouldn't be honest
with us or wouldn't be candid with us until after
the election. And then after the election we found out
all of these things that when you looked at what
was going on with asident Biden at the time, it
probably doesn't surprise you the extent to which he was deteriorating.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Here's the problem, Jake, we knew that that was happening,
and we said it, and you knew it too. And
you didn't say it, so you're complicit in it. Here's
another problem, Clay. You look at this, you say to yourself,
the White House is lying? Who's the White House name?
Who was doing the lying? Name the names?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I would just say, Okay, Then how did Clay and
Buck see all of this?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Like? How you know we're not in the White House
every day? What I told you is totally true. We
saw Joe Biden for the best five percent of his
day that they could put forward, every single time that
he was doing a public event, and it was clear
that he was not mentally and physically up to the job.
For anyone who was being honest, they're lying about not
(17:54):
seeing what was going on.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Well, none of us can control where the few future
is when it comes to the global economy. The fact
of the matter is that we got a huge debt
and we got some challenges ahead. And one of the
ways that you can hedge against that uncertainty is investing
in gold. Gold maybe the best hedge against inflation. And
we're going to continue to have to battle that. We're
going to continue to have to see what happens with
(18:19):
bringing the debt under control. Now, I just think a
portion of your savings or even an old IRA or
four to one k transitioned into gold makes a lot
of sense and Birch Gold Group is who you should
work with on this. Get going with Birch Gold Group.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Today, Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show the
truth now being told, which.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
All of us knew in advance.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
If you missed it, reports today coming like gangbusters. They
thought they were going to have to put Biden in
a wheelchair. That George Clooney says, despite knowing Biden for
fifteen years that when he met him in June of
twenty twenty four, Biden did not know who he was.
(19:25):
And we've been having a really interesting discussion that's continued
off air. You know, Buck, you mentioned the nineteen forty
four election. We were talking about the history and how
the twenty four election that we all just lived through,
the entire campaign is going to be written and talked
(19:47):
about for hundreds of years as a Oh my goodness,
can you believe this happened after many of us, all
of us that are listening right now are gone. This
is a historically resident era. A lot of presidential elections
people don't write about very much. For instance, Barack Obama's
big run against Mitt Romney in twenty twelve. I don't
think there's going to be best selling books written about
(20:09):
that campaign in the decades. A cunt to come. But
you mentioned forty four and they lied about FDR's health.
Maybe necessary because we're in the middle of a war
with Nazis and they don't want it out that FDR
is maybe not up to being the top president. Let
(20:30):
me ask you this. Pretend you are George Clooney. All right,
you're you know, hundreds of millions of dollars, You're worth it,
your Hollywood royalty, you're a very overrated actor. Yes, you
throw this big festive Hollywood event in June for Joe Biden,
(20:52):
and he doesn't recognize you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Just to be clear, Clay, I mean as much as
I like to take shots, because I think it's true
that George Clooney is not a picarly you know, good actor.
He's incredibly famous. That is correctly the case. That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Like you and I have never met George Clooney, if
we would know who George Clooney was right away, anybody
really in America I think would probably know who George
Clooney is. Anyone in American public life okay, ye, not
some guy maybe who like you know, lives off grid
in the Yukon by himself or something. Anyone who is
in public life would know who George Clooney is right away.
He's at that level of familiarity and famousness. I hate
(21:28):
to say it, but it's true where you would know.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I mean this. You know, if you met Tom Cruise,
I think you'd know who Tom Cruise is right away.
You wouldn't. You couldn't put you know what you couldn't
do with Tom Cruise. I'm sorry, sir, What do you
do like that wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah, would be It would be tough.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Though there's like fifty people in America where it would
be tough for you to pretend that you didn't know
what they did. Like if you and I met Leonardo
DiCaprio and we walked up to him and we're like, yeah,
so what do you do for a living?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
It's like Titanic. You ever see it?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
You know, Tom Cruise, you know I made Top Gun Jerk,
you know, Like there's a good Adam Sandler bit.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I was at his comedy special a couple of years
ago where he's got a teenage daughter and she was
dating a guy, and he pretended that he didn't know
who Adam Sandler was, and it just kept accelerating, like
you know, they were meeting for the date, and he's like, listen, kid,
you don't need to pretend that you don't know what
I do for a living, right, Like, I'm Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
You've watched twenty of my movies.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
But it's very funny from his perspective because he's getting
increasingly angry at this teenage boy who's dating his daughter.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
But let's go back. You're George Clooney.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You are throwing I don't know that thing probably raised
forty million dollars for Joe Biden's reelection, we know that
he ends up writing the editorial when you know that
the president is clear. And by the way, do you
remember the viral video of Obama having to lead Biden
off the stage at that event? Do you remember that, Buck?
(22:56):
We shared it and people said, well, this is not
an accurate reflection of Biden being lost, and some of
the answers you could tell Biden wasn't on.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
His game in any way.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
What's the right thing to do then, because if you go,
here's what we said this on the show. As soon
as Trump won on November fifth, we came on and
we said, hey, this is actually a really scary time
because Biden's still in charge theoretically from November sixth, after
(23:30):
election day, until January twentieth, and we are going to
be at nearly our weakest point because the president is
no longer the president really, but he's still in office
till January twentieth. What it raises to me, Buck, is
two questions. One, and this may be the most important question,
who's actually been president for the last two years? Who
(23:53):
has actually been making the hard decisions that you and
I and everybody else out there elects the president to
make Who was the president in twenty twenty three and
twenty twenty four? Was it Joe Biden? Was she the
Claire Underwood in House of Cards where basically she's running
(24:16):
the White House?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Was it like the at least we would have had
a doctor in charge, so we know she's really smart.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Was it, like, I mean, for the history nerds out there,
was it Edith Wilson When we had President Woodrow Wilson
had a stroke and they basically hit him in the
White House and his wife ran the presidency for a
couple of years. So question one which should be asked
is who actually was president of the United States in
twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Second part of this.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
What should you do?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Because if you go public and say, if George Clooney
had gone public and said, hey, Joe Biden doesn't know
who I am anymore, I think you're right, Buck. I
think immediately you say, Okay, twenty fifth Amendment has to
be put in place. He can't be president anymore. His
brain is not up to the task of being president,
which is why I think they threatened him with removal
(25:10):
to get him to step down. I will go to
my grave believing that they went to Joe Biden and
they said, we know that you cannot do this anymore.
After June twenty seventh, we're going to remove you from office.
If you step down and endorse Kamala will allow you
to finish your term. You will not have the indignity
(25:32):
of being moved out of the White House in advance
of your term ending. We'll cover all this up and
we'll just try to get Grandpa Joe through June twenty
January twentieth, and if we can manage that, then your
legacy in some way is protected. I will go to
(25:52):
my grave and maybe it's going to come out eventually
that at some point in time, the leadership of the
Democrat already maybe it was Obama, went to Joe Biden
and said, hey, based on everything I'm hearing, I'm going
to go public with the need to remove you from office.
If you don't announce you're not running and you step down.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I can see it all playing out in that way.
My only, my only proviso, if you will on all
this is or my my condition is do the people
who pushed him out want it known? Will we ever
really know because they caused the disaster for the Democrats.
(26:39):
You know, Biden is still arguing, for obvious reasons, that
he would have done better than Kamala in the election.
You can disagree on that, But what you can disagree
on is that by pushing Biden out, you basically sunk
the cruise ship and the escape vessels you took down
by and Kamala in one election, the Democrat president and
(27:05):
the vice president, who is generally considered the future of
the party both sunk. So it is a massive, a
massive blunder that somebody would be essentially owning up to, right,
And I just I just don't know if there's anyone
who's willing to do that. I really I just think
that that's that's a lot you're taking on a lot
(27:27):
with that.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I think it has to be somebody like Obama, who's
already been elected twice, who still lives in Washington, DC,
whose wife may hate him, or vice versa, because there's
still a lot of drama there. I think that I
think that something may have that that he was that
(27:51):
he ordered the code read. I think Obama ordered the
code red on on Biden.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I think Obama that would make sense because Yeah, Obama
has been catastrophic for the Democrat Party. Other than Obama elections,
Obama delivered nothing but the strings of losses for Democrats.
You know how Trump always goes around. We've almost just
gotten so used to it we forget about it saying
I endorse this person, I endorse that person, and that
(28:15):
for Trump, a lot of people won their elections because
of the Trump endorsement. Obama dragged the Democrat Party's fortunes down. Yeah,
the midterm in with with with Hillary in twenty sixteen,
Obama has been essentially electoral poison for Democrats except for
when he himself was running. That's it, so I believe, I.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Just I think that's the only thing.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And by the way, this isn't gonna be that there's
more devastating revelations that are coming here because the books wins.
The book out next week. The book is not out
until next week, and they're basically priming the pump for
Biden to be obliterated. And I think Buck, this is
why Biden suddenly went back public. I think his team
(29:04):
saw this book, got an advanced copy of it some way,
and I think they made the decision to uh to
decide that they needed to pre butt the arguments about
Biden's mental and physical cognitive decline, and unfortunately for them,
they went on the View and Biden couldn't even handle
a relatively short interview on the View without falling all
(29:27):
over himself.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
This also just shows you how cruel, cruel, yes, deceptive,
and dishonest we've gotten into that in such detail. There's
something and I felt this way the whole time. I
used to talk about how it reminded me of grandfather
I was very close to when you know, when he
reached that stage where he really needed help. You know,
where my visits to him instead of him telling me
you know, cool stories about New York in the forties
(29:49):
and fifties and you know, being on the aircraft carry
in World War Two, it was me, you know, bringing
him tea and putting a blanket over over his knees
for him. You know that I saw that with Biden.
There's something so inhumane about pushing this guy forward in
this way in these years of his life. I'm not
saying that Biden didn't want it. I think he did,
(30:10):
but people around him should have been like, you know what, man,
it's done, It's done. His wife top of the list.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
As you've said, Joe Biden is going to become a
huge part of this story. And I've been saying it
on this show, you, to you, and everybody else for years.
Imagine what she saw. We saw Biden for five percent
of the day. George Clooney barely saw him for years.
A lot of these aids, to be fair, restricted access
to the president. Imagine what Jill saw and heard in
(30:42):
the last couple of years from her husband, and yet
she was arguing publicly, Oh, he needs to maintain the presidency.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I mean, my wife tells me my memory is not
good enough. How many times do I go to the
grocery store and I'm supposed to pick up milk or
plastic baggies and I forget.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I Look, I had.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
This conversation with my wife. I said, I have a
public job. You're going to outlive me by thirty years
at some point in time. If you start to notice
that I am not in any way what I used
to be in terms of speaking publicly or just day
to day my brain function, you need to tell me.
And it's partly brought on by Biden because I don't
(31:25):
want to be the Biden equivalent of radio.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
It's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, all right, well we'll take some calls here on
what you think. Also, I'm going to bring us into
the latest the reactions to the fifty count of fifty
refugees from South Africa that Democrats are just in a
frenzy about. They're so upset about this. We'll talk about it.
You know, the number of us that become victims of
identity theft is in the millions each year. It's almost pathetic.
(31:53):
I mean, the number is crazy when you think about
how many of us are being taken advantage of by
these criminals online. But they're really good at it. I've
gotten the text messages you have to they've gotten a
lot sneakier, a lot, a lot more clever. And there's
also sometimes things that you just it's not in your
hands at all, like when a database of personal information
is hacked. You know, you give your credit cards online.
(32:14):
Guess what if that information gets hacked somewhere, you can
be the victim of identity theft. This is why you
need LifeLock. LifeLock membership allows you to help get protection

News you can count on as some laughs too. Clay
Travis at Buck Sexton.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Podcasts, and welcome back into Clay and Boss. Let's get
some calls, some talkbacks, some good things coming our way here.
Remember the talkback feature on the iHeart app. What you
should all have on your phone. We got Glenn and
Saint Louis wants to chat. What's going on? Glenn?
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Good to get in here and get to talk to
you guys. Hey, I was just more or less just
touching base with you. Guys were talking about Biden his decline,
but like I was telling the other gentleman, uh, you know,
when he was and Obama picked him his VP, he
was making all these weird and and just like don't
(33:46):
ride the subway, don't don't do this, don't do this,
to the point where Obama kind of had to put
him in the corner for a while and say, hey,
don't talk to anybody right now. I mean even even then.
So I think it's always been there, but it made
but it may have gotten worse. But I think it's
always kind of been there on some of the stuff
that he's always said and just off the wall things
(34:06):
that he come up with. So it's kind of what
I was point. I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Make sure, thank you, I think it is go ahead,
Clay No, I was just gonna say buck. Remember Obama
specifically chose not to anoint Joe Biden as a successor
in twenty two, which was a big deal when someone's
been your VP for eight years. Yes, you know what
I mean, that's something's going on there, and clearly Obama knew.
(34:32):
I think that there were built in liabilities of having
Biden as the standard bearer well.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
And the other thing I would add there too, is
that explains all of the Hunter Biden cash grab because
I think again logically, Biden thought his career was over
in politics, and I think he said, hey, let's make
as much money as we possibly can while we can.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Then Trump wins, because I think he thought Hillary's gonna win,
She'll be pre asident for eight years. I'll be you know,
scrambled eggs. I got no future. And then that didn't happen,
and then recklessly they decided to put him forward because
otherwise Bernie would.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Have been the nominee.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And then COVID happened and they were able to hide him.
They put him in the basement. You didn't actually have
to see him on the trail, like all the frailty
and everything else was hidden in many ways.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Actually, everybody, this is justice. You know that this complete
collapse that's happening with the pro Biden media and the
complete humiliation of so many of these people who were
lying to all of us, lying to you, lying across
the board about Joe Biden. They deserve this, They deserve
this feeling of oh my gosh, what do we do
(35:44):
now everyone is laughing at us and no one believes
us anymore. They earned this, so it's important. This is
a bit like you know, balance is restoring to the
king of being restored to the kingdom. Here, this is
like decency and truth justice in the American way, making
it comeback. What they did with Biden was unconscionable, unconscionable,
(36:05):
and they did it for years, and they knew exactly
what they were doing. Because we knew what they were doing,
and we said it at the.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Time we were right.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
And now all the receipts we even told you about
the books, go back and listen. We said they're going
to be all the truth will be told as soon
as the election's over all of the behind the scenes
Biden was incompetent and incapable and riddled with dementia. All
the stories are going to come out, and they are
now officially rolling out. But when we come back, you
want to talk about this story out of South Africa
(36:35):
and the continued fallout over US accepting roughly fifty refugees
from that country. We'll dive into that. We'll also take
a bunch of your calls eight hundred and two two
two eight a two. You can also give us your
talkbacks as we are reacting obviously to everything going on,
including Trump still in the Middle East, all that more.
