Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of Clay and Buckets going
right now, everybody, and we had started off today talking
about how they're telling us they couldn't find the leaker
of the dab's decision from the Supreme Court. Big implications
from that. We all recall or a crazy person showed
(00:22):
up outside of Kavanaugh's house saying he wanted to assassinate
a Supreme Court justice. There was pressure brought to bear
because of this leak, and there were risks and there
were dangers out there as a result, no leaker found
what happened here? Do we trust that they turned over
every stone? Shannon Bream is with us. She is Fox
(00:42):
News is chief Supreme Court Legal Analyst. Shannon, great to
have you on. It is my pleasure. Buck, how are you.
I'm good, It's been a while since we talked to you.
We always always are very happy when you get a
moment to join us here. Shannon, I just wanted really
your We can get into some of the details and
some of what do you think the implications of this
will be down the line, But first, what was your
(01:04):
thirty thousand foot view? When the announcement came out, nothing
They didn't find out who did this. Yeah, and they
say that they'll keep following leads and looking at things
that they have, But it sounded to me like they
got nothing because the warning of the statement from the
chord said, after everything we've done, forensic it, audit, cell phones,
text sworn off a David's interviews, we could not find
(01:27):
anyone by a preponderance of the evidence. Would you know
that's such a low standard. It's basically that something is more.
Thanks for coming on. First of all, I'm gonna give
you some props. This is a big deal. You are
killing it on Fox News Sunday as the host. If
people haven't checked it out, they should thank you. And
you are going to be doing your show from the
end zone of the Super Bowl. Now. I know your husband,
(01:49):
he's fantastic. Is that maybe the thing he's most impressed
that you have ever pulled off in your career to
get to do a show from the super Bowl end
zone on the Sunday of Super Bowl Sunday? Probably so,
Although he's much less impressed with my football skills. He
actually bought me a nurse football and is making me
throw it because there's talk that I may have to
do some of these NFL roles or something more there.
(02:11):
You don't want to pull a Fauci on the baseball,
Tosh Shannon. You got to get the arm loose and
get a little bit of practice out there. I've not
mastered the spiral, that's for sure. So Buck and Eye
were talking, So congratulations on all that. Buck and Eye
were talking in the first hour and he was reading
through and I'm sure you did as well. Even if
they had found the person, the criminal behavior is a
(02:34):
bit of a stretch in terms of what they could
be charged with. Do you think there might be any
motivation in the wake of this league to potentially have
a statute drafted that would make it criminal to engage
in behavior like this as a further sign not just
to break the Supreme Court mores and traditions, but also
(02:56):
in the similar way that if you worked at the
CIA or the FBI and you were caught leaking internally,
that that might make it clear that it's a criminal offense.
Does that make sense? Yeah, I totally get it. And
that's a great question because there are laws out there
that have to do with handling classified information. A Supreme
Court document, a draft of an opinion is not considered classified.
(03:18):
There are codes, ethics codes, those kinds of things, but
not necessarily a criminal penalty for disclosing something that's secret
information at the Supreme Court. That's another reason that people
have questions. Listen to, the Chief Justice kept it in house.
They wanted the Marshal inside the Supreme Court to handle this.
But there's also this question of Okay, if you brought
(03:39):
in the FBI or DJ, which I can understand the
reasons may not want to do that, But then if
somebody lies to a federal agent or investigator, that's a
whole different issue versus Listen, you can still get in
trouble for signing a sworn statement, which they say everybody
they interview did, and they all did that under penalty
of perjury and denied that they leaked the document. But
(04:00):
you know, when you bring in a federal agent, I
think that turns up the temperature. And for whatever reason,
the Chief said we're not going to do that. So Shannon,
it sounds like they could have gone a little a
little more all out here than they did at a minimum, right,
I mean, whether they were even willing to chase it
in every way they could with what they deployed here,
they decided not to go with the full heat that
(04:23):
they could. Well, what's tricky is you have classes of clerks.
These you guys knew, they serve a year there and
they generally cycle in and out in July. So anybody
who left in July of twenty twenty two was no
longer under the reach of this investigation because it was
being done internally of Supreme Courts employees. And once they
were gone, who knows if it involved a clerk or not,
(04:44):
but if it did, you've now lost the ability to
pursue that any further. So that may be a gaping
hole for a lot of people that you would think, Okay,
they are a logical place to look. They potentially have
different motivations, they may be completely in the clear, but
once they left in July, internal investigation had no way
to reach them. Shannon, I'm curious how you would assess this.
(05:05):
Buck and I were also talking about, Hey, if you're
a journalist and a draft opinion gets dropped into your lap,
one of the first things I would think is okay,
am I getting set up? Because there are lots of
different opinions that could or could not be valid. It's
also possible, you will know, every major law firm in
(05:25):
the country could have somebody draft one, right. I mean,
it's not an exact science of what these things will
look like. So if I'm Politico, it's not only that
I've got the draft, it's that whoever is giving me
the draft has to be so supremely reliable that I'm
willing to go out there on a limb because you're
probably not going to get any confirmation, right, Like, It's
(05:47):
not like you can call him up and be like, hey,
Supreme Court, we got its draft opinion. The Supreme Court
is not going to say, yeah, it's accurate or inaccurate.
Doesn't that lead you to believe that whatever route by
which this opinion and got to them, Politico felt like, Okay,
this is a slam dunk. This is one hundred percent reel. Yeah,
and it makes it feel like it lends credence to
(06:09):
the theory that it was an inside job. Also, because
the report we got from the Supreme Court yesterday said
we went through all of our it we used all
the forensics we've had, and we found it highly unlikely
that someone breached our system from outside, or that this
was a hack, which is essentially them saying too again,
it sounds like it's an inside job. And you're right.
If I'm a reporter and somebody brings it to me,
(06:31):
you're every alarm and bell and whistle is going to
go off in your head unless you are convinced that
person had direct access to it. And we know from
this report there were eighty two different people who did Yeah,
you don't, you don't want to get Dan Rather? National
Guard documented on this one. So yeah, right, yeah, they
did it. And I like the way you described that
(06:51):
is if it's its own like dictionary entry, I think
it kind of is at this point, right, you got
you got Dan Rather, you got Dan Rathered, you ran
with the fake docs, and now you've got to pay
the price. Shannon, in terms of the long term we're
speaking of Shannon Bream, Fox News is chief Judicial Chief
Supreme Court analysts, Shannon the the court going forward. Do
(07:14):
you think that people were we all just kind of
aware that it was very politicized before this and so
this doesn't do much or do you think this has
really shifted in shape perception about a willingness to use
the court and really abuse the court as a weapon
of politics. Yeah, and listen, the court it goes through
waves of people who don't like it. Whether your party
appointees are short of in the majority or they're in
(07:36):
the minority. People, you know, we'll have all kinds of
very distinct criticisms of the court. Right now, Democrats don't
like it. They are in the minority when it comes
to their party's nominees, and so they talk constantly about
packing the court, about doing things to the court so
that it won't be political. Whereas you have members of
the court, including Justice Stephen Bryer, who was on the
(07:57):
left of the court, say when you start to do
stuff like that, does politicize the court and it does
make the court look political. So listen, there are people
who are they've been split over robe weight for fifty years,
and so no matter what the Court did, the other
side was going to view it as political. You know,
the substance of the decision, aside from the fact that
it was leaked. But that's the absolute last thing. The
(08:17):
justices over their one and they're very sensitive to that.
You know, any portrayal of them is being partisan. Shannon,
We're sitting at fifty one forty nine for theoretically the
next two years, assuming people stay healthy. In all those things,
there seems to be a certain amount of pressure that
is get ratcheted getting ratcheted up on some of the
older justices on the left wing, even though they aren't
(08:39):
particularly that old, with the idea being you look at
that map, twenty twenty four Senate majority seems like it's
really going to be in peril. Maybe they're Democrats dodged
one here. Do you get the sense that Joe Biden
might have the chance to appoint another justice or do
you think everybody's basically going to stay locked in, even
though it may be a while until we have a
(09:01):
Democrat Senate and a Democrat President both in office. Yeah.
I think all the appointees, all the current justices on
the Court have very much invested in staying put as
long as they possibly can, for various reasons that make
sense based on the party that put them there. The
justices on the left side, I mean, they're relatively young
in terms of Supreme Court justices, so absent something that
(09:22):
forced them to step down, I don't see them going anywhere.
You remember the enormous pressure that was on Justice Ginsburg
to step down before President Trump's election. She was into
her eighties and saying, you know, get lost. I'm not
going anywhere. So you know, there's always speculation too about
the Republican appointees. They are by and large older than
the other side of the bench, but they're going to
(09:42):
do everything they can to hang on through the next
presidential election, no doubt. Shannon, bring everybody. Shannon, appreciate you
joining us, and you should check out Shannon Show and
look for her on Fox News. Shannon, thanks so much.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton voices of Sanity and Insane World.
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us as we power through
the Friday edition of the program. We have all of
(11:09):
you are going to have fantastic weekends. Encourage you as
always to go subscribe to the podcast, make sure you
don't miss a single moment, and starch out my name,
Clay Travishing, starch out buck Sexton's name. I wanted to
hit you guys with this as obviously everyone is off
in Davos. It feels like one of the people that
(11:29):
is actually speaking out and giving some semblance of truth.
Jamie Diamond, who is the CEO of Chase Buck we
were talking about earlier in our discussion surrounding the debt
limit and all of the crazy amounts of debt that
we have laid laid onto this country over thirty one
trillion of it. One thing that has become paramount is
(11:53):
there aren't that many people who understand basic business involved
in politics. But also that ideology, particularly as it pertains
to the climate change crisis, and that's in quotation marks,
has led many people to be willing to essentially destroy
basic economics as it pertains to energy over their belief
(12:16):
that they have to remake the entire economy even though
there's not energy support outside of oil and gas to
make that possible. Well, Jamie Diamond actually spoke out and said,
we need oil and gas. God bless them, because there's
hardly anybody, it feels like, who's willing to say this
in the public arena, certainly at Davos when you look
(12:37):
at all the craziness that's come out there. Let's listen
to Jamie Diamond here. We need oil and gas for
how long? For fifty years? And you know it's one
hundred million barrels a day. They're used by the world
to heat fuel. True pure climates want to end it now.
They want to end it now, Jamie. To get the
two to get come together, then you'll have a calamity,
(12:58):
a global depression. That was on CNBC Buck and he's
one hundred percent right, but so few people will say it.
I think it was just too I want to make
sure because I hate when I see an article that
I love and it's actually from like five years ago,
and I was like, oh, you don't read the dates
on things, but there was something that was circulating recently
(13:18):
on Oh oh wait, hold on, hold on, let me
make sure that I have this right on recycling Clay
once again. Yes, January nineteenth, twenty three, New York Post,
the costly stupidity of the recycling religion, which is part
of this whole lutacy recycling cardboard and paper. And listen
to this carefully, Laura Travis. Buck is speaking in our
(13:42):
household because I get ridiculed so much over my lack
of care about our recycling bin at the Travis household.
I am lacerated over this. I don't know what Buck's
gonna say you have the floor, sir. It is very
clear that the only cycling that actually does, and the
only recycling that works at all, is aluminum cans and cardboard.
(14:07):
The rest of recycling, even green piece cardboard, is not
helping me. Plastic recycling is a dead end street. It
is basically ending. It basically ends up in landfills anyway,
and that plastic recycling, even to do it is enormously
(14:29):
energy intensive, and that most of the plastic that we
think is being recycled is just sent to third world
countries and ends up in the oceans or in their
landfills because they're not going to recycle it. So a
lot of this recycling stuff is total garbage. And you
actually look and there's a there's a thing in here.
This is by John stossel By the way to use
(14:50):
a metal straw and make up for the carbon footprint
of the metal straw versus a paper straw, You have
to use the metal straw one hundred and fifty times.
This is also why when you add in the cost
of electric vehicles again the carbon and energy costs to
create an electric vehicle, it takes a very long time
before you even catch up to where you are, and
(15:12):
that doesn't take into account what's required to get to
the rare earth elements used in these batteries, like the
lithium battery or whatever is they have in these cars now.
So all this environmental stuff, it's I mean, they don't
even they don't think through you know, does wind and
solar where does it work? Where does it not work?
It's just all a religious belief masquerading is saving the
(15:35):
planet unless they're willing to look at individual practices, individual
case studies, look at the data, the science, the numbers,
because there's no dispute over the numbers when you look
at them and realize, oh, this thing that we've been
telling everybody to do is pointless or even counterproductive from
an environmental perspective. So the climate greens armaniacs is basically
(15:58):
why I'm coming to this, And most of them are
doing this not in any real desire to save the planet,
but because they want to be able to lecture everyone
about how much better of a moral being they are.
And this has been my argument for a long time.
And look, Buck, at the very end of this year,
(16:18):
we had a climate issue here in when you were right,
like the last think the last Friday of the year,
December twenty third, if I remember correctly, it was super
cold in Nashville, and super cold all over the country,
particularly the southeast, where doesn't usually get that cold, even
all the way cold down to Miami, and they had
(16:39):
to start rationing off the amount of energy you could
use in Tennessee. It's never happened in my life. And
it's because all these crazy people out there are trying
to replace reliable energy sources, with wind power, with solar power,
with all these things that cannot get to the level
(17:01):
of energy that we need in this country. And as
a result, you have to even sit around like we're
doing the radio show. I had to be like, hey,
I might get knocked off. I had to tell our staff, Hey,
let's have a backup plan in case I get knocked
off today. Never even contemplated now, hey, if tornado comes
through weather conditions knocks down electricity polls, that's happened forever.
But the idea, just because they couldn't satisfy demand, they
(17:23):
started a football game an hour late. It's all crazy, Clay.
We do not have the leg the battery, the batteries
that we need, the grid hookups that we need. These
things do not exist right now. To go fully green
the way these maniacs want us to and to try
to do these things just makes everything more frustrating and
(17:46):
expensive and could create massive problems depending on whether you
actually have a you know, if you have a down
grid and all the things that come with that. So
it's they're they're out of their minds. They're out of
their minds, and maybe you're out of your mind. You've
been losing so much money in your business because it's
been really difficult business environment. Well guess what. Get refunds
dot Com get you hooked up. If you're a small
(18:07):
business owner and you've been receiving tax refunds from the IRS,
if your business has five or more employees, managed to
make it through COVID, you could be eligible to receive
a payroll tax rebate of up to twenty six thousand
dollars per employee not alone, no payback refund of your taxes.
They've got highly trained lawyers who will review your funds
(18:29):
and if they get back a recovery, they will share
that money with you. They'll just take a percentage. It
doesn't cost you anything. Why would you not check and
see if this makes sense for you. Go to get

Don't miss out. Get refunds dot Com. No risk, high reward.
(18:50):
Get refunds dot Com. Sexes on the truck lines of truth.
We found a handful of documents who were failed or
filed in the wrong place. We immediately turned them over
to the archives in the Justice Department. We're fully cooperating,
(19:11):
looking forward to getting this resolved quickly. I think you're
gonna find there's nothing there. I have no regrets. I'm
following what they lawyers have told me they want me
to do. It's exactly what we're doing. There's no there there.
There's no there there except the documents were there and
there and there classified documents that Joe Biden left in
(19:35):
various places. I do think it's hard for us not
to take a moment here to remember that it was
just a few months ago that we were told what
was it in August of last year, that what Donald
Trump had done keeping documents that he says he declassified
when he was president, which he has the full authority
as president to do in a locked storage area of
(19:59):
Mara Lago that apparently included something written on a napkin.
I don't know. I just I don't buy that the
nuclear codes were written on a napkin. I'm just gonna
say it. I don't think that our most sensitive assets
were all written on the back of a cocktail knapkin.
I'm gonna go out on a limb. But they made
a huge deal of it. They have a special counsel,
a component of a special counsel investigation over this issue,
(20:23):
and now Joe Biden's trying to tell everybody it's it's
no big deal. Now. MY contention with all of this
is it I still think this is subject to change.
Events can overtake analysis on this. I still believe that
Joe Biden is going to run. I still believe that
Joe Biden is going to be able to get past
(20:46):
this classified document story. I don't think this is the
thing that brings Joe Biden down. That's my belief. I
could be wrong, but I believe that they're going to
run this special counsel investigation and the systems what to
do here, just like the system at some level with
Hillary did what it had to do to protect her
when she was running. But then there's this other stuff
(21:08):
that keeps percolating. Clay, a little more comes out, a
little more comes out. This is from a daily mail.
It's an exclusive all in the family. Joe Biden is
named in a twenty seventeen email discussing multimillion dollar gas
deal with China, with the Louisiana lawyer writing to brother
Jim that he arranged a call with the former vice
(21:31):
president and his son Hunter to discuss the purchase. Now,
I understand that it's easy to get kind of lost
into some of these details. We've heard a lot of
stuff about the Biden crime family beforem what it's up to,
But I think we're starting to get closer and closer
to it becomes inevitable for people to realize that Joe
(21:52):
Biden was not just the name they were selling, That
Joe Biden was himself part of the access pedaling scheme,
knew about it, lied about knowing about it, And this
is corrupt. I mean, at a minimum, there should be
a political price that you would think has to be
paid as a result of this. I think Joe Biden
thought his political career was over. That's the sort of
(22:14):
lynchpin of why all of this would have occurred with
Hunter and decided, I've had my tenure in the United
States government. Now it's time to make money. And I
think he flipped aggressively to let's make money and have
some legacy for the Biden family to show for the
(22:35):
forty plus years that we spent in office. And I
don't think he ever contemplated that he was going to
be running for president necessarily. I just don't think he
thought there was a lane for him to be elected
president in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen when all of
these activities and actions we're ongoing, and Buck, I'll just
point out there are the photos and video of Hunter
(23:01):
Biden driving Joe Biden's corvette. The corvette that we know
because Joe Biden said it himself, was in the garage
alongside of the classified documents that were in his home
that should be out there. Remember you mentioned this a
little bit ago after the Marlago raid. I think we
talked about this. We said, oh, you know what there's
(23:22):
going to be. They're going to argue that these are
incredibly dangerous documents. They came out and said, you know,
nuclear codes like all this. What were the documents that
everybody had access to in Joe Biden's garage and how
many other places were these documents stored and why would
he have them? Right? My argument here has been somebody
(23:44):
knew that Biden had something he wasn't supposed to have,
and that's why they had a thousand dollars an hour
attorneys going through these documents. Because remember Buck, the first
argument they put out was, well, we just discovered these
in the process of closing down at office at the
Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC. But then the details
(24:04):
didn't really make sense. How did you discover them? Well,
a warrior found an envelope and then he opened that
envelope and he pulled the papers out and he saw
that they hadn't classified markings on them. Why did you
have a lawyer who was making a thousand dollars an
hour going through your documents? That's Moving's not fun. Moving
with movers who cost a thousand dollars an hour, it
(24:26):
would really be fun. I got news for you. I
got news for you again. I'm an expert move, I'm
an expert in making scrambled eggs and moving apartments. These
are things I've done far too many times. The twenty
percent suggested tip in cash at the end of the
move is not really suggested, like all of a sudden,
your trade. You know, your your prized VAZ is gonna
(24:48):
have a crack at it. You gotta pay the guys.
I look, they were I will say one of the
jobs that I believe I'm amazed at how hard people
work is movers. Moving is one of those jobs where
I'm just like, so, I'm I'm happy to pay there,
But I just think it's funny because there's always and
it's always in cash, and it's twenty percent. It's at
the end they've earned every penny. But there's no like, yeah,
(25:09):
I think we're gonna do like a ten percent. No, no no,
no, no no, it's twenty percent. So that hasn't been exploited.
To have a thousand dollars attorney who was opening envelopes
and finding classified documents, So what's he looking for? What
are these documents consist of, and how many people had
access to them? Those are really pretty integral questions. You know,
there's there's stonewalling that the White House is engaging in
(25:29):
and I think, unfortunately, they're going to be able to,
as they always are, get away with it to a
large extent. I don't think we should overpromise what's likely
to come out of all this, because the media apparatus
is still for now, they're still behind Biden. I think
there's been a little bit of a jump a little
(25:49):
too soon on our side too. Oh, this is this
is an internal code to push Biden out. I know
that was a first impulse a lot of people had.
I don't think this is that. I think this is
Joe Biden now. And by the way, I've changed my
thinking on this the more I've gone through it. So
I don't pretend that this is an obvious answer or
that I'm definitely right. But I just think Joe Biden
(26:12):
is a buffoon. Yes, and now they're trying to play
I think this is clean up on aile Biden, and
it's just not an easy thing to clean up because
of the moral Lago doc, you know, Embrolio specifically, and
so they're trying to figure this out. Now. Could this
have the effect down the line of helping to pressure
Biden to not wrong again? Yeah, sure maybe, But I
(26:32):
don't think, you know, especially when people said, oh, you know,
maybe they put the documents there. Now they have all
I think they have all the leverage they need with Hunter,
and that's a much more clear path to the apparatus.
Pushing Joe aside this document thing. He's gonna be able
to ride this one out, just like Hillary, look just
like Trump. I mean, there's a controversy of the documents.
(26:53):
You can say Trump's not in the wrong or only
a little bit in the wrong, but there were classified
documents there that they had to turn over. So I
just don't see. I don't think this is the end.
That's my site. I particularly I agree with you, and
I particularly think that Buck because the person who they
would have in the wings waiting to take over is
worse than Joe Biden. So I think Democrats are trying
(27:13):
to forestall the battle that eventually they're going to have
to have to keep Kamala from being the nominee because
she's such a disastrous candidate. In fact, when we come
back in the next segment, I have a theory that
Kamala Harris's speech writers all hate her and regularly put
things in the speech for her to read that they
know is going to look and sound awful. And if
(27:37):
the vice president for Joe Biden, Let's presume Barack Obama
was Joe Biden's vice president right now, I think a
hundred percent there would be a mechanism underway to try
to knock Biden out so Joe Biden didn't run and
Barack Obama could run. If there was an extremely able
(27:57):
vice president, I would buy into that argument. The problem
is if you knock Biden out, the later that it
takes to knock Biden out Buck, the more guaranteed it
is that it's Kamala who would basically just take the baton,
right because if Biden suddenly came out in July or
August and said, hey guys, I'm not running for reelection
(28:18):
next year, it would be such a rapid turnaround. Nobody
would have the infrastructure or the campaigns up to be
able to run. So Kamala would get that baton. If
there were somebody really capable behind him, I might buy
into that. I don't hear, but this Kamala talking about electricity,
I think everybody's gonna love it. Something else going on
today in DC. I wanted to tell you all about
(28:40):
many of you already know today in DC is the
March for Life. We do that march in the pro
life community every year, right and we are a part
of it in a sense because we're fighting for life
every day on this program in partnership with the Preborn
Pregnancy Clinics. Preborn Pregnancy Clinics offer mothers who are considered
an abortion an alternative to give their babies life. These
(29:03):
mothers are making a difficult decision, and Preborn is there
to provide care and compassion and support. They start that
relationship by offering an ultrasound, allowing the mother to hear
the heartbeat and see the precious life growing inside her.
So often that experience, that introduction between mother and child
make sure twice as likely to choose life. But Preborn
doesn't stop there. The Preborn Clinics provide mothers with counseling, diapers,
(29:26):
baby clothes, and assistance for up to two years. All
of this happens because of your donations you the pro
life community. An ultrasound is just twenty eight dollars, that's
where this all starts. Get involved today with the donation
and that amount. If you can just twenty eight dollars,
one hundred percent of your gift goes to saving the
lives of unborn children. With your help and that of others,
(29:47):
Preborn has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of
unborn babies who were born. Use your phone dial pound
two five zero and say the keyword baby again. From
your phone dial pound fifty say the word baby or
donate at preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn dot
com slash b u c K. All gifts are tax
(30:09):
deductible and put to valuable use. Sponsored by Preborn the
Voices of Sanity in an insane welcome back in Clay
Travis buck Sexton show posing up shop almost one more
hour next hour, and I've got I'm just gonna say,
I've got a clip that you guys, if you haven't
heard it already, to start off the third hour of
(30:30):
the show, your jaw is going to drop when you
hear the audio that we're going to play for you
at the top of the third hour, just to tease,
I will be stunned if your jaw doesn't drop, presuming
you haven't heard it, and I bet most of you
have not, but Thesis Buck Kamala Harris's speech writers all
hate her and regularly put things into her speech that
(30:52):
they know are going to make her look ridiculous, because
according to a lot of reports, she's not that hard
of a worker. She's not paying a lot of attention.
They put it in a teleprompter, she will read it,
so I don't even know what she was doing a
speech on. But in the midst of this speech, she
decides that she needs to explain how electricity, sorry, how
(31:16):
electricity works. And this is Kamala Harris. Member. She's told
us how school buses work. She's told us that you
can see the moon through a telescope. Here is Kamala
Harris maybe the worst. I mean, she's so bad buck
that even people who see Joe Biden as president are like, yeah,
we can't give her the job. She might be the
(31:37):
only politician in America who is so incompetent that people
are like, well, Joe Biden's bad, but at least he
ain't as bad as Kamala. Here's Kamala Harris breaking down electricity.
Put your learning caps on. Today America has more than
half a million miles of transmission lines, enough to wrap
around the globe twenty four times. These lines connect the
(32:00):
power plants where electricity is created to homes and businesses
and schools and hospitals across our nation. Think about it.
Every time you turn on a light, or charge your laptop,
or plug in your air conditioner or put leftovers in
(32:23):
the fridge, you rely on the power delivered by our
nation's network of transmission lines. Or you plug in your
hair dryer, or you have a lava lamp like when
you were in college, or you have the curling iron.
So I'm just like, how long do we sit through
(32:44):
the explanation of electricity for all of us? I'm just
wondering the Kamala Harris. It was funny. I was my
oldest son was writing a paper last night and I
walked by and I was like, how long does the
paper have to be? It's like fourth thousand words. I
was like, Oh, that's you know, when you get a
word limit or a word requirement. Everybody out there has
(33:07):
had these like, hey, this is a this has to
be an eight page paper. You know, I want this
to be four thousand words or whatever the heck it's
going to be. Everybody out there remembers that time when
you've looked at that little number counter and you're like, man,
this is only there's only seven hundred words, and now
we've got to have eight hundred words. And then you
just go write a paragraph and you rewrite a paragraph.
(33:28):
You know everybody has done that at some point in time.
Every time Kamala Harris speaks, it feels like she's trying
to hit a word limit that she hasn't done enough
homework to be able to reach on her own. I just,
you know, I thought that it was impossible for them
to make Joe Biden president. I really did, and so
I was I just missed that one. You know, obviously
(33:49):
he is today the president. I have the same feeling
with Kamala Harris. It's just not possible that they really
think that she could. But you know who knows. Federman
job Fetterman got elected. All bets were off on any
restrictions on who Democrats could potentially elect. And remember Federman
(34:11):
just didn't just win. He won by four points. Did
you see him getting sworn in? Buck The dude can't speak.
I mean, he is incapable of communication. He could barely
speak when he got sworn into his Senate seat. He
can't do the job. I couldn't even make it. By
the way, in The Pale Blue Eye, which is the
(34:32):
Netflix movie that he is in, I couldn't even make
it to the scene that he's apparently in, just because
it's not good. I thought that I was kind of
looking forward to watching that, so boring, dude, real, Yeah,
it was a shadow. That's why you haven't you would.
Christian Bale is one of the best living actors today
in my opinion, so you know, and that's that's not
a rare point in like the eighteen thirties, So it's
(34:54):
a settings to cool concept. It is not well executed.
So I never even got to see Fetterman thematic debut,
which is kind of disappointing. I mean, we'll go back
and check it out when we come back. Buck, You
know the it's an awful story. This guy who got
charged with murder in Massachusetts of the mom. They still
(35:15):
haven't found her body to my knowledge, but they have
arrested the husband, and there's been a lot of discussion about, hey,
what kind of evidence did they have against him? And
one of the things Buck was he said, I didn't
even leave the house other than to go buy ice
cream for the kids, and then they found him on
camera buying four hundred and fifty dollars worth of cleaning
supplies at the home depot. Well, they brought him in
(35:38):
front of the judge, and the judge read the affidavit
of arrest, and anybody out there who's ever thought about
being a defense attorney, I want you to listen to this.
This affidavit of arrest. A very serious case. But I
swear your jaw will drop at some of the evidence
that they presented about what this guy did. And I
(36:01):
just want all of you out there to think, oh,
my goodness, what would I do to try to defend him?
Final hour of the week coming up next, and this
audio that we're gonna play for you at the top
of the third hour, you're gonna be like, this is
a puff road for the defense attorney here. You haven't
heard it. I don't think. I think you've read some
of it, but you haven't heard it. Hearing it makes
it even worse. If ata more coming up on this Friday,
(36:23):
Everybody stay with us here on clay An Buck. You
know there's more coming
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of Clay and Buckets going
right now, everybody, and we had started off today talking
about how they're telling us they couldn't find the leaker
of the dab's decision from the Supreme Court. Big implications
from that. We all recall or a crazy person showed
(00:22):
up outside of Kavanaugh's house saying he wanted to assassinate
a Supreme Court justice. There was pressure brought to bear
because of this leak, and there were risks and there
were dangers out there as a result, no leaker found
what happened here? Do we trust that they turned over
every stone? Shannon Bream is with us. She is Fox
(00:42):
News is chief Supreme Court Legal Analyst. Shannon, great to
have you on. It is my pleasure. Buck, how are you.
I'm good, It's been a while since we talked to you.
We always always are very happy when you get a
moment to join us here. Shannon, I just wanted really
your We can get into some of the details and
some of what do you think the implications of this
will be down the line, But first, what was your
(01:04):
thirty thousand foot view? When the announcement came out, nothing
They didn't find out who did this. Yeah, and they
say that they'll keep following leads and looking at things
that they have, But it sounded to me like they
got nothing because the warning of the statement from the
chord said, after everything we've done, forensic it, audit, cell phones,
text sworn off a David's interviews, we could not find
(01:27):
anyone by a preponderance of the evidence. Would you know
that's such a low standard. It's basically that something is more.
Thanks for coming on. First of all, I'm gonna give
you some props. This is a big deal. You are
killing it on Fox News Sunday as the host. If
people haven't checked it out, they should thank you. And
you are going to be doing your show from the
end zone of the Super Bowl. Now. I know your husband,
(01:49):
he's fantastic. Is that maybe the thing he's most impressed
that you have ever pulled off in your career to
get to do a show from the super Bowl end
zone on the Sunday of Super Bowl Sunday? Probably so,
Although he's much less impressed with my football skills. He
actually bought me a nurse football and is making me
throw it because there's talk that I may have to
do some of these NFL roles or something more there.
(02:11):
You don't want to pull a Fauci on the baseball,
Tosh Shannon. You got to get the arm loose and
get a little bit of practice out there. I've not
mastered the spiral, that's for sure. So Buck and Eye
were talking, So congratulations on all that. Buck and Eye
were talking in the first hour and he was reading
through and I'm sure you did as well. Even if
they had found the person, the criminal behavior is a
(02:34):
bit of a stretch in terms of what they could
be charged with. Do you think there might be any
motivation in the wake of this league to potentially have
a statute drafted that would make it criminal to engage
in behavior like this as a further sign not just
to break the Supreme Court mores and traditions, but also
(02:56):
in the similar way that if you worked at the
CIA or the FBI and you were caught leaking internally,
that that might make it clear that it's a criminal offense.
Does that make sense? Yeah, I totally get it. And
that's a great question because there are laws out there
that have to do with handling classified information. A Supreme
Court document, a draft of an opinion is not considered classified.
(03:18):
There are codes, ethics codes, those kinds of things, but
not necessarily a criminal penalty for disclosing something that's secret
information at the Supreme Court. That's another reason that people
have questions. Listen to, the Chief Justice kept it in house.
They wanted the Marshal inside the Supreme Court to handle this.
But there's also this question of Okay, if you brought
(03:39):
in the FBI or DJ, which I can understand the
reasons may not want to do that, But then if
somebody lies to a federal agent or investigator, that's a
whole different issue versus Listen, you can still get in
trouble for signing a sworn statement, which they say everybody
they interview did, and they all did that under penalty
of perjury and denied that they leaked the document. But
(04:00):
you know, when you bring in a federal agent, I
think that turns up the temperature. And for whatever reason,
the Chief said we're not going to do that. So Shannon,
it sounds like they could have gone a little a
little more all out here than they did at a minimum, right,
I mean, whether they were even willing to chase it
in every way they could with what they deployed here,
they decided not to go with the full heat that
(04:23):
they could. Well, what's tricky is you have classes of clerks.
These you guys knew, they serve a year there and
they generally cycle in and out in July. So anybody
who left in July of twenty twenty two was no
longer under the reach of this investigation because it was
being done internally of Supreme Courts employees. And once they
were gone, who knows if it involved a clerk or not,
(04:44):
but if it did, you've now lost the ability to
pursue that any further. So that may be a gaping
hole for a lot of people that you would think, Okay,
they are a logical place to look. They potentially have
different motivations, they may be completely in the clear, but
once they left in July, internal investigation had no way
to reach them. Shannon, I'm curious how you would assess this.
(05:05):
Buck and I were also talking about, Hey, if you're
a journalist and a draft opinion gets dropped into your lap,
one of the first things I would think is okay,
am I getting set up? Because there are lots of
different opinions that could or could not be valid. It's
also possible, you will know, every major law firm in
(05:25):
the country could have somebody draft one, right. I mean,
it's not an exact science of what these things will
look like. So if I'm Politico, it's not only that
I've got the draft, it's that whoever is giving me
the draft has to be so supremely reliable that I'm
willing to go out there on a limb because you're
probably not going to get any confirmation, right, Like, It's
(05:47):
not like you can call him up and be like, hey,
Supreme Court, we got its draft opinion. The Supreme Court
is not going to say, yeah, it's accurate or inaccurate.
Doesn't that lead you to believe that whatever route by
which this opinion and got to them, Politico felt like, Okay,
this is a slam dunk. This is one hundred percent reel. Yeah,
and it makes it feel like it lends credence to
(06:09):
the theory that it was an inside job. Also, because
the report we got from the Supreme Court yesterday said
we went through all of our it we used all
the forensics we've had, and we found it highly unlikely
that someone breached our system from outside, or that this
was a hack, which is essentially them saying too again,
it sounds like it's an inside job. And you're right.
If I'm a reporter and somebody brings it to me,
(06:31):
you're every alarm and bell and whistle is going to
go off in your head unless you are convinced that
person had direct access to it. And we know from
this report there were eighty two different people who did Yeah,
you don't, you don't want to get Dan Rather? National
Guard documented on this one. So yeah, right, yeah, they
did it. And I like the way you described that
(06:51):
is if it's its own like dictionary entry, I think
it kind of is at this point, right, you got
you got Dan Rather, you got Dan Rathered, you ran
with the fake docs, and now you've got to pay
the price. Shannon, in terms of the long term we're
speaking of Shannon Bream, Fox News is chief Judicial Chief
Supreme Court analysts, Shannon the the court going forward. Do
(07:14):
you think that people were we all just kind of
aware that it was very politicized before this and so
this doesn't do much or do you think this has
really shifted in shape perception about a willingness to use
the court and really abuse the court as a weapon
of politics. Yeah, and listen, the court it goes through
waves of people who don't like it. Whether your party
appointees are short of in the majority or they're in
(07:36):
the minority. People, you know, we'll have all kinds of
very distinct criticisms of the court. Right now, Democrats don't
like it. They are in the minority when it comes
to their party's nominees, and so they talk constantly about
packing the court, about doing things to the court so
that it won't be political. Whereas you have members of
the court, including Justice Stephen Bryer, who was on the
(07:57):
left of the court, say when you start to do
stuff like that, does politicize the court and it does
make the court look political. So listen, there are people
who are they've been split over robe weight for fifty years,
and so no matter what the Court did, the other
side was going to view it as political. You know,
the substance of the decision, aside from the fact that
it was leaked. But that's the absolute last thing. The
(08:17):
justices over their one and they're very sensitive to that.
You know, any portrayal of them is being partisan. Shannon,
We're sitting at fifty one forty nine for theoretically the
next two years, assuming people stay healthy. In all those things,
there seems to be a certain amount of pressure that
is get ratcheted getting ratcheted up on some of the
older justices on the left wing, even though they aren't
(08:39):
particularly that old, with the idea being you look at
that map, twenty twenty four Senate majority seems like it's
really going to be in peril. Maybe they're Democrats dodged
one here. Do you get the sense that Joe Biden
might have the chance to appoint another justice or do
you think everybody's basically going to stay locked in, even
though it may be a while until we have a
(09:01):
Democrat Senate and a Democrat President both in office. Yeah.
I think all the appointees, all the current justices on
the Court have very much invested in staying put as
long as they possibly can, for various reasons that make
sense based on the party that put them there. The
justices on the left side, I mean, they're relatively young
in terms of Supreme Court justices, so absent something that
(09:22):
forced them to step down, I don't see them going anywhere.
You remember the enormous pressure that was on Justice Ginsburg
to step down before President Trump's election. She was into
her eighties and saying, you know, get lost. I'm not
going anywhere. So you know, there's always speculation too about
the Republican appointees. They are by and large older than
the other side of the bench, but they're going to
(09:42):
do everything they can to hang on through the next
presidential election, no doubt. Shannon, bring everybody. Shannon, appreciate you
joining us, and you should check out Shannon Show and
look for her on Fox News. Shannon, thanks so much.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton voices of Sanity and Insane World.
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us as we power through
the Friday edition of the program. We have all of
(11:09):
you are going to have fantastic weekends. Encourage you as
always to go subscribe to the podcast, make sure you
don't miss a single moment, and starch out my name,
Clay Travishing, starch out buck Sexton's name. I wanted to
hit you guys with this as obviously everyone is off
in Davos. It feels like one of the people that
(11:29):
is actually speaking out and giving some semblance of truth.
Jamie Diamond, who is the CEO of Chase Buck we
were talking about earlier in our discussion surrounding the debt
limit and all of the crazy amounts of debt that
we have laid laid onto this country over thirty one
trillion of it. One thing that has become paramount is
(11:53):
there aren't that many people who understand basic business involved
in politics. But also that ideology, particularly as it pertains
to the climate change crisis, and that's in quotation marks,
has led many people to be willing to essentially destroy
basic economics as it pertains to energy over their belief
(12:16):
that they have to remake the entire economy even though
there's not energy support outside of oil and gas to
make that possible. Well, Jamie Diamond actually spoke out and said,
we need oil and gas. God bless them, because there's
hardly anybody, it feels like, who's willing to say this
in the public arena, certainly at Davos when you look
(12:37):
at all the craziness that's come out there. Let's listen
to Jamie Diamond here. We need oil and gas for
how long? For fifty years? And you know it's one
hundred million barrels a day. They're used by the world
to heat fuel. True pure climates want to end it now.
They want to end it now, Jamie. To get the
two to get come together, then you'll have a calamity,
(12:58):
a global depression. That was on CNBC Buck and he's
one hundred percent right, but so few people will say it.
I think it was just too I want to make
sure because I hate when I see an article that
I love and it's actually from like five years ago,
and I was like, oh, you don't read the dates
on things, but there was something that was circulating recently
(13:18):
on Oh oh wait, hold on, hold on, let me
make sure that I have this right on recycling Clay
once again. Yes, January nineteenth, twenty three, New York Post,
the costly stupidity of the recycling religion, which is part
of this whole lutacy recycling cardboard and paper. And listen
to this carefully, Laura Travis. Buck is speaking in our
(13:42):
household because I get ridiculed so much over my lack
of care about our recycling bin at the Travis household.
I am lacerated over this. I don't know what Buck's
gonna say you have the floor, sir. It is very
clear that the only cycling that actually does, and the
only recycling that works at all, is aluminum cans and cardboard.
(14:07):
The rest of recycling, even green piece cardboard, is not
helping me. Plastic recycling is a dead end street. It
is basically ending. It basically ends up in landfills anyway,
and that plastic recycling, even to do it is enormously
(14:29):
energy intensive, and that most of the plastic that we
think is being recycled is just sent to third world
countries and ends up in the oceans or in their
landfills because they're not going to recycle it. So a
lot of this recycling stuff is total garbage. And you
actually look and there's a there's a thing in here.
This is by John stossel By the way to use
(14:50):
a metal straw and make up for the carbon footprint
of the metal straw versus a paper straw, You have
to use the metal straw one hundred and fifty times.
This is also why when you add in the cost
of electric vehicles again the carbon and energy costs to
create an electric vehicle, it takes a very long time
before you even catch up to where you are, and
(15:12):
that doesn't take into account what's required to get to
the rare earth elements used in these batteries, like the
lithium battery or whatever is they have in these cars now.
So all this environmental stuff, it's I mean, they don't
even they don't think through you know, does wind and
solar where does it work? Where does it not work?
It's just all a religious belief masquerading is saving the
(15:35):
planet unless they're willing to look at individual practices, individual
case studies, look at the data, the science, the numbers,
because there's no dispute over the numbers when you look
at them and realize, oh, this thing that we've been
telling everybody to do is pointless or even counterproductive from
an environmental perspective. So the climate greens armaniacs is basically
(15:58):
why I'm coming to this, And most of them are
doing this not in any real desire to save the planet,
but because they want to be able to lecture everyone
about how much better of a moral being they are.
And this has been my argument for a long time.
And look, Buck, at the very end of this year,
(16:18):
we had a climate issue here in when you were right,
like the last think the last Friday of the year,
December twenty third, if I remember correctly, it was super
cold in Nashville, and super cold all over the country,
particularly the southeast, where doesn't usually get that cold, even
all the way cold down to Miami, and they had
(16:39):
to start rationing off the amount of energy you could
use in Tennessee. It's never happened in my life. And
it's because all these crazy people out there are trying
to replace reliable energy sources, with wind power, with solar power,
with all these things that cannot get to the level
(17:01):
of energy that we need in this country. And as
a result, you have to even sit around like we're
doing the radio show. I had to be like, hey,
I might get knocked off. I had to tell our staff, Hey,
let's have a backup plan in case I get knocked
off today. Never even contemplated now, hey, if tornado comes
through weather conditions knocks down electricity polls, that's happened forever.
But the idea, just because they couldn't satisfy demand, they
(17:23):
started a football game an hour late. It's all crazy, Clay.
We do not have the leg the battery, the batteries
that we need, the grid hookups that we need. These
things do not exist right now. To go fully green
the way these maniacs want us to and to try
to do these things just makes everything more frustrating and
(17:46):
expensive and could create massive problems depending on whether you
actually have a you know, if you have a down
grid and all the things that come with that. So
it's they're they're out of their minds. They're out of
their minds, and maybe you're out of your mind. You've
been losing so much money in your business because it's
been really difficult business environment. Well guess what. Get refunds

We found a handful of documents who were failed or
filed in the wrong place. We immediately turned them over
to the archives in the Justice Department. We're fully cooperating,
(19:11):
looking forward to getting this resolved quickly. I think you're
gonna find there's nothing there. I have no regrets. I'm
following what they lawyers have told me they want me
to do. It's exactly what we're doing. There's no there there.
There's no there there except the documents were there and
there and there classified documents that Joe Biden left in
(19:35):
various places. I do think it's hard for us not
to take a moment here to remember that it was
just a few months ago that we were told what
was it in August of last year, that what Donald
Trump had done keeping documents that he says he declassified
when he was president, which he has the full authority
as president to do in a locked storage area of
(19:59):
Mara Lago that apparently included something written on a napkin.
I don't know. I just I don't buy that the
nuclear codes were written on a napkin. I'm just gonna
say it. I don't think that our most sensitive assets
were all written on the back of a cocktail knapkin.
I'm gonna go out on a limb. But they made
a huge deal of it. They have a special counsel,
a component of a special counsel investigation over this issue,
(20:23):
and now Joe Biden's trying to tell everybody it's it's
no big deal. Now. MY contention with all of this
is it I still think this is subject to change.
Events can overtake analysis on this. I still believe that
Joe Biden is going to run. I still believe that
Joe Biden is going to be able to get past
(20:46):
this classified document story. I don't think this is the
thing that brings Joe Biden down. That's my belief. I
could be wrong, but I believe that they're going to
run this special counsel investigation and the systems what to
do here, just like the system at some level with
Hillary did what it had to do to protect her
when she was running. But then there's this other stuff
(21:08):
that keeps percolating. Clay, a little more comes out, a
little more comes out. This is from a daily mail.
It's an exclusive all in the family. Joe Biden is
named in a twenty seventeen email discussing multimillion dollar gas
deal with China, with the Louisiana lawyer writing to brother
Jim that he arranged a call with the former vice
(21:31):
president and his son Hunter to discuss the purchase. Now,
I understand that it's easy to get kind of lost
into some of these details. We've heard a lot of
stuff about the Biden crime family beforem what it's up to,
But I think we're starting to get closer and closer
to it becomes inevitable for people to realize that Joe
(21:52):
Biden was not just the name they were selling, That
Joe Biden was himself part of the access pedaling scheme,
knew about it, lied about knowing about it, And this
is corrupt. I mean, at a minimum, there should be
a political price that you would think has to be
paid as a result of this. I think Joe Biden
thought his political career was over. That's the sort of
(22:14):
lynchpin of why all of this would have occurred with
Hunter and decided, I've had my tenure in the United
States government. Now it's time to make money. And I
think he flipped aggressively to let's make money and have
some legacy for the Biden family to show for the
(22:35):
forty plus years that we spent in office. And I
don't think he ever contemplated that he was going to
be running for president necessarily. I just don't think he
thought there was a lane for him to be elected
president in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen when all of
these activities and actions we're ongoing, and Buck, I'll just
point out there are the photos and video of Hunter
(23:01):
Biden driving Joe Biden's corvette. The corvette that we know
because Joe Biden said it himself, was in the garage
alongside of the classified documents that were in his home
that should be out there. Remember you mentioned this a
little bit ago after the Marlago raid. I think we
talked about this. We said, oh, you know what there's
(23:22):
going to be. They're going to argue that these are
incredibly dangerous documents. They came out and said, you know,
nuclear codes like all this. What were the documents that
everybody had access to in Joe Biden's garage and how
many other places were these documents stored and why would
he have them? Right? My argument here has been somebody
(23:44):
knew that Biden had something he wasn't supposed to have,
and that's why they had a thousand dollars an hour
attorneys going through these documents. Because remember Buck, the first
argument they put out was, well, we just discovered these
in the process of closing down at office at the
Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC. But then the details
(24:04):
didn't really make sense. How did you discover them? Well,
a warrior found an envelope and then he opened that
envelope and he pulled the papers out and he saw
that they hadn't classified markings on them. Why did you
have a lawyer who was making a thousand dollars an
hour going through your documents? That's Moving's not fun. Moving
with movers who cost a thousand dollars an hour, it
(24:26):
would really be fun. I got news for you. I
got news for you again. I'm an expert move, I'm
an expert in making scrambled eggs and moving apartments. These
are things I've done far too many times. The twenty
percent suggested tip in cash at the end of the
move is not really suggested, like all of a sudden,
your trade. You know, your your prized VAZ is gonna
(24:48):
have a crack at it. You gotta pay the guys.
I look, they were I will say one of the
jobs that I believe I'm amazed at how hard people
work is movers. Moving is one of those jobs where
I'm just like, so, I'm I'm happy to pay there,
But I just think it's funny because there's always and
it's always in cash, and it's twenty percent. It's at
the end they've earned every penny. But there's no like, yeah,
(25:09):
I think we're gonna do like a ten percent. No, no no,
no, no no, it's twenty percent. So that hasn't been exploited.
To have a thousand dollars attorney who was opening envelopes
and finding classified documents, So what's he looking for? What
are these documents consist of, and how many people had
access to them? Those are really pretty integral questions. You know,
there's there's stonewalling that the White House is engaging in
(25:29):
and I think, unfortunately, they're going to be able to,
as they always are, get away with it to a
large extent. I don't think we should overpromise what's likely
to come out of all this, because the media apparatus
is still for now, they're still behind Biden. I think
there's been a little bit of a jump a little
(25:49):
too soon on our side too. Oh, this is this
is an internal code to push Biden out. I know
that was a first impulse a lot of people had.
I don't think this is that. I think this is
Joe Biden now. And by the way, I've changed my
thinking on this the more I've gone through it. So
I don't pretend that this is an obvious answer or
that I'm definitely right. But I just think Joe Biden
(26:12):
is a buffoon. Yes, and now they're trying to play
I think this is clean up on aile Biden, and
it's just not an easy thing to clean up because
of the moral Lago doc, you know, Embrolio specifically, and
so they're trying to figure this out. Now. Could this
have the effect down the line of helping to pressure
Biden to not wrong again? Yeah, sure maybe, But I
(26:32):
don't think, you know, especially when people said, oh, you know,
maybe they put the documents there. Now they have all
I think they have all the leverage they need with Hunter,
and that's a much more clear path to the apparatus.
Pushing Joe aside this document thing. He's gonna be able
to ride this one out, just like Hillary, look just
like Trump. I mean, there's a controversy of the documents.
(26:53):
You can say Trump's not in the wrong or only
a little bit in the wrong, but there were classified
documents there that they had to turn over. So I
just don't see. I don't think this is the end.
That's my site. I particularly I agree with you, and
I particularly think that Buck because the person who they
would have in the wings waiting to take over is
worse than Joe Biden. So I think Democrats are trying
(27:13):
to forestall the battle that eventually they're going to have
to have to keep Kamala from being the nominee because
she's such a disastrous candidate. In fact, when we come
back in the next segment, I have a theory that
Kamala Harris's speech writers all hate her and regularly put
things in the speech for her to read that they
know is going to look and sound awful. And if
(27:37):
the vice president for Joe Biden, Let's presume Barack Obama
was Joe Biden's vice president right now, I think a
hundred percent there would be a mechanism underway to try
to knock Biden out so Joe Biden didn't run and
Barack Obama could run. If there was an extremely able
(27:57):
vice president, I would buy into that argument. The problem
is if you knock Biden out, the later that it
takes to knock Biden out Buck, the more guaranteed it
is that it's Kamala who would basically just take the baton,
right because if Biden suddenly came out in July or
August and said, hey guys, I'm not running for reelection
(28:18):
next year, it would be such a rapid turnaround. Nobody
would have the infrastructure or the campaigns up to be
able to run. So Kamala would get that baton. If
there were somebody really capable behind him, I might buy
into that. I don't hear, but this Kamala talking about electricity,
I think everybody's gonna love it. Something else going on
today in DC. I wanted to tell you all about
(28:40):
many of you already know today in DC is the
March for Life. We do that march in the pro
life community every year, right and we are a part
of it in a sense because we're fighting for life
every day on this program in partnership with the Preborn
Pregnancy Clinics. Preborn Pregnancy Clinics offer mothers who are considered
an abortion an alternative to give their babies life. These
(29:03):
mothers are making a difficult decision, and Preborn is there
to provide care and compassion and support. They start that
relationship by offering an ultrasound, allowing the mother to hear
the heartbeat and see the precious life growing inside her.
So often that experience, that introduction between mother and child
make sure twice as likely to choose life. But Preborn
doesn't stop there. The Preborn Clinics provide mothers with counseling, diapers,
(29:26):
baby clothes, and assistance for up to two years. All
of this happens because of your donations you the pro
life community. An ultrasound is just twenty eight dollars, that's
where this all starts. Get involved today with the donation
and that amount. If you can just twenty eight dollars,
one hundred percent of your gift goes to saving the
lives of unborn children. With your help and that of others,
(29:47):
Preborn has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of
unborn babies who were born. Use your phone dial pound
two five zero and say the keyword baby again. From
your phone dial pound fifty say the word baby or
donate at preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn dot
com slash b u c K. All gifts are tax
(30:09):
deductible and put to valuable use. Sponsored by Preborn the
Voices of Sanity in an insane welcome back in Clay
Travis buck Sexton show posing up shop almost one more
hour next hour, and I've got I'm just gonna say,
I've got a clip that you guys, if you haven't
heard it already, to start off the third hour of
(30:30):
the show, your jaw is going to drop when you
hear the audio that we're going to play for you
at the top of the third hour, just to tease,
I will be stunned if your jaw doesn't drop, presuming
you haven't heard it, and I bet most of you
have not, but Thesis Buck Kamala Harris's speech writers all
hate her and regularly put things into her speech that
(30:52):
they know are going to make her look ridiculous, because
according to a lot of reports, she's not that hard
of a worker. She's not paying a lot of attention.
They put it in a teleprompter, she will read it,
so I don't even know what she was doing a
speech on. But in the midst of this speech, she
decides that she needs to explain how electricity, sorry, how
(31:16):
electricity works. And this is Kamala Harris. Member. She's told
us how school buses work. She's told us that you
can see the moon through a telescope. Here is Kamala
Harris maybe the worst. I mean, she's so bad buck
that even people who see Joe Biden as president are like, yeah,
we can't give her the job. She might be the
(31:37):
only politician in America who is so incompetent that people
are like, well, Joe Biden's bad, but at least he
ain't as bad as Kamala. Here's Kamala Harris breaking down electricity.
Put your learning caps on. Today America has more than
half a million miles of transmission lines, enough to wrap
around the globe twenty four times. These lines connect the
(32:00):
power plants where electricity is created to homes and businesses
and schools and hospitals across our nation. Think about it.
Every time you turn on a light, or charge your laptop,
or plug in your air conditioner or put leftovers in
(32:23):
the fridge, you rely on the power delivered by our
nation's network of transmission lines. Or you plug in your
hair dryer, or you have a lava lamp like when
you were in college, or you have the curling iron.
So I'm just like, how long do we sit through
(32:44):
the explanation of electricity for all of us? I'm just
wondering the Kamala Harris. It was funny. I was my
oldest son was writing a paper last night and I
walked by and I was like, how long does the
paper have to be? It's like fourth thousand words. I
was like, Oh, that's you know, when you get a
word limit or a word requirement. Everybody out there has
(33:07):
had these like, hey, this is a this has to
be an eight page paper. You know, I want this
to be four thousand words or whatever the heck it's
going to be. Everybody out there remembers that time when
you've looked at that little number counter and you're like, man,
this is only there's only seven hundred words, and now
we've got to have eight hundred words. And then you
just go write a paragraph and you rewrite a paragraph.
(33:28):
You know everybody has done that at some point in time.
Every time Kamala Harris speaks, it feels like she's trying
to hit a word limit that she hasn't done enough
homework to be able to reach on her own. I just,
you know, I thought that it was impossible for them
to make Joe Biden president. I really did, and so
I was I just missed that one. You know, obviously
(33:49):
he is today the president. I have the same feeling
with Kamala Harris. It's just not possible that they really
think that she could. But you know who knows. Federman
job Fetterman got elected. All bets were off on any
restrictions on who Democrats could potentially elect. And remember Federman
(34:11):
just didn't just win. He won by four points. Did
you see him getting sworn in? Buck The dude can't speak.
I mean, he is incapable of communication. He could barely
speak when he got sworn into his Senate seat. He
can't do the job. I couldn't even make it. By
the way, in The Pale Blue Eye, which is the
(34:32):
Netflix movie that he is in, I couldn't even make
it to the scene that he's apparently in, just because
it's not good. I thought that I was kind of
looking forward to watching that, so boring, dude, real, Yeah,
it was a shadow. That's why you haven't you would.
Christian Bale is one of the best living actors today
in my opinion, so you know, and that's that's not
a rare point in like the eighteen thirties, So it's
(34:54):
a settings to cool concept. It is not well executed.
So I never even got to see Fetterman thematic debut,
which is kind of disappointing. I mean, we'll go back
and check it out when we come back. Buck, You
know the it's an awful story. This guy who got
charged with murder in Massachusetts of the mom. They still
(35:15):
haven't found her body to my knowledge, but they have
arrested the husband, and there's been a lot of discussion about, hey,
what kind of evidence did they have against him? And
one of the things Buck was he said, I didn't
even leave the house other than to go buy ice
cream for the kids, and then they found him on
camera buying four hundred and fifty dollars worth of cleaning
supplies at the home depot. Well, they brought him in
(35:38):
front of the judge, and the judge read the affidavit
of arrest, and anybody out there who's ever thought about
being a defense attorney, I want you to listen to this.
This affidavit of arrest. A very serious case. But I
swear your jaw will drop at some of the evidence
that they presented about what this guy did. And I
(36:01):
just want all of you out there to think, oh,
my goodness, what would I do to try to defend him?
Final hour of the week coming up next, and this
audio that we're gonna play for you at the top
of the third hour, you're gonna be like, this is
a puff road for the defense attorney here. You haven't
heard it. I don't think. I think you've read some
of it, but you haven't heard it. Hearing it makes
it even worse. If ata more coming up on this Friday,
(36:23):
Everybody stay with us here on clay An Buck. You
know there's more coming
