Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck
Sexton Show. We hope, wherever you may be across the
world around the country, that you are having a fantastic
midpoint of your week and that you are ready to
hang out with us for the next three hours and
hopefully have some fun while also being entertained. We've got
(00:23):
a ton of different topics to dive into with you.
The latest on the Nashville school shooting and the continued
fallout surrounding that De Santis versus Trump. Polling data continues
to come out maybe the dumbest opinion in Sonny Hostin's career.
On the view, We've got doctor Fauci being rewarded with
(00:49):
a multi million dollar book advance. And also, when you
consider all of the cities in America right now, it's
possible the Washington d C. District Attorney is prosecuting the
fewest of all of the crimes that are occurring in
the nation's capital. I was there yesterday, back home in
(01:09):
Nashville today, and how does that compare to jan sixth. Also,
is the Trump indictment in New York City falling apart.
They are not hearing anymore reportedly on the Trump indictment
this week maybe not also next week. We'll break all
that down for you. But Buck, we wait now in
(01:32):
Nashville for the release of the trans shooters manifesto. I
am told that it is going to be released. When
exactly it will be released remains unclear. I think it
should happen today. The Nashville Police did a phenomenal job
(01:53):
responding to the shooting at the school. We played and
talked about the videos from inside of that school. How
heroic so many of those officers were. The Nashville Police
have been very forthcoming with all the details of this
investigation on a fairly rapid fashion. Now is the time
to share that manifesto because in the absence of that
(02:19):
manifesto coming out, many people are trying to fill this void,
so to speak, and argue. I'm sure you're seeing all
the same headlines that I am, Buck, where for instance,
NBC NBC News put up a headline yesterday that said,
fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooter's
(02:42):
gender identity. We were already fearing for our lives. Now,
it's even worse. That's a quote. No, it's worse for
the kids that were killed by the trans woman, or
by the woman who was a trans man, whatever you
want to say. It's definitely worse for them. Yet their
suffering is not being covered. And I wanted to play
(03:04):
this for you, Buck. They're now arguing, Oh, the victims
would be alive if they had it passed the trans
bills in Tennessee. This is a TikToker red ahearn that
is sharing an opinion that has been widely discussed in
the trans community in the wake of this shooting. Listen
to cut one. I wonder if the parents of the
(03:28):
victims of the Nashville shooting today would still have their
children if these trans builds in Tennessee were never a thing.
I'm not a parent, but if I were, I'd be real,
real mad at the government. I'd be real, real mad
at the government. And let's be very clear, Clay that
here you have people on the left. We just played
(03:49):
audio that was from the lives of TikTok account who
are explicitly saying that if there are more of these
bills to prevent the mutilation of the intermutilation of children,
that there will be more school shootings, that there'll be
more people killed, there'll be more violence. Essentially, it's it's
an implicit this is what terrorists do. This is what
(04:10):
terrorists do. It's you know, nice, nice society you have.
There be a shame if something happened to it, to
be a shame if something crumbled the civilization that you
think you live in. And and the media. I have
to say, it is remarkable to me that I expect
that in the aftermath of something like this when the
perpetrator is someone that is first of all, always elevated
(04:34):
generally by the left right. The trans community in general
is constantly elevated. So this is they're they're taught telling
us all the time the trans community is marginalized and victimize,
and we hear all these stats about the the murderer
of the people within the trans community. SATs they say
this Saturday, they're having an event about the trans genocide.
When you actually look at the stats, there are very
(04:55):
few trans people who are murdered, in part because there
are very few trans people, and the trans people who
are killed are overwhelmingly killed as either they're involved in
the sex trade. There's some situation that there are not
hate crimes where trans people are being murderal of the country.
That's just not true. Doesn't happen. Doesn't happen. So this
notion that there are this is great theory. And by
the way, of course, everybody should live in safety, security
(05:18):
and decency. Where this show we're very anti murder, we're
very anti murder on the show. But there's a lie
that is being told that there's this constant threat, this
constant fear that the trans community lives under for their safety,
when this is very similar what the left does on
other arguments too. This is not about safety, This is
(05:38):
about policy. This is about whether or not people will
be forced by government power to celebrate what many more
people are starting to see now is a severe mental
illness is actually not something that should be elevated and
treated as an affirmation of identity and all the rest
of it, all the stuff that we hear and use,
the different pronouns and all of this. What they're doing
(06:00):
is what the left always does. If you don't agree
with me, you're literally committing violence against me. That's what
they say. If you don't agree with me on go
down any range of issues. This is why they shout
down speakers in schools. This is why they don't allow
conservatives to even have a voice that they will hear from,
whether it's a fifth Circuit judge, as we saw recently
at Stanford University Law School. So they're doing this purposefully
(06:23):
so that people won't have an honest conversation about it.
And the media, by the way, is going I thought
they would be horrible, but they find new levels of horribleness.
I mean, there is something ghoulish and demonic in the
soul of the Democrat aligne media. This was from Reuters.
I'm not even picking the crazy far left stuff, right,
(06:43):
I mean, that's what we just had, lives of TikTok
Clay former Christian student kills three children, three staff in
Nashville studing. Did you see that headline? That is the
Ruyter's headline, former Christian student kills three Oh gee, I
wonder are we all supposed to be so stupid that
we don't see the politics The victims here Christian children,
(07:06):
Christian adults, a Christian school. But because the trans left
wing lunatic perpetrator attended to school twenty years ago, that's
what They lead with play gee, and we played for you.
I believe it was yesterday, CNN saying, look, the fact
that the shooter was trans is a major distraction from
(07:31):
the real story here, which is guns yesterday. MSNBC also
climbing on that argument, focusing on the transgender identity. MSNBC,
this is ali Velshi. They're saying here in this conversation,
it's actually uniquely dangerous to the trans community to point
(07:54):
out that someone in the trans community committed cold blooded
murder of six innocent people. Listen, no idea if the
shooter was undergoing hormone therapy. But in the words of
Congressman Green quote, everyone can stop blaming guns now, which
is really code for focusing on the shooter's identity, something
conservatives don't seem overly concerned about when the shooter is
a white man, which is often trans people are already
(08:15):
more likely to experience violence simply because they are trans people.
So the right focusing on that is uniquely dangerous and
we have to respond to that. But it is also
a distraction because there are plenty of trans people in
plenty of countries all over the world. But once again,
America is the only nation where shootings like this happen
over and over again. So maybe it's not mental health
(08:38):
or video games or hormones. Maybe it's the guns. Okay,
the guns, the guns, the guns. The guns are not
going anywhere. I wish somebody would just follow down the
rabbit hole. Randy Weingarten zen imbecile buck. But she at
least came out and said we need to go collect
everybody's guns. Did you see that clip of her basically
(08:58):
saying at least whether you agree or disagree with her,
and certainly I think almost everyone listening to us right
now disagrees with her. At least she's not pretending away
what she wants to do, which is, I think this
is a goal here, period. I think you're making I
think this is an important point that that you're making here,
which is that the only honest argument on the left,
(09:21):
the honest argument would be we're taking all of your guns.
We're sending agents of the state with guns to take
your guns. Yes, and they will shoot you if you
don't give your guns up. That is it, right? That
is the only honest argument about gun control taken to
its extreme, taken to where it would actually I mean, yes,
(09:41):
that's what will there be fewer shootings? Right? Yea, this
is there is the reality of the nobody had a
gun and if the government took all your guns away.
That's Randy white Garden's argument because the other side of
this is when they say, okay, we're going to ban
a our fifteens, I say, well, this this individual went
into a went into a grammar school with three guns.
(10:03):
A pistol would have been just as deadly under the circumstances.
Multiple pit and anyone who wants to argue with this,
First of all, they sound like idiots because you just
go and look at fort Hood two pistols, Virginia Tech
shooting pistols. So this notion that some kind of restriction
on the cosmetics or the magazine or any of that
stuff would stop a shooting is just ignorance. That's why
(10:27):
the art, this is why people in the Second Amendment
community gets so frustrated. It's let's have the real talk.
You want no Second Amendment libs, you want no guns
in civilian hands period. And you know it's amazing because
they talk about Australian They'll say, look at the Australian
buyback program. Look at what a huge success. It was
Australia has more guns in private hands now than it
did before the buyback program, just putting that out there too.
(10:49):
People have no idea what they are talking about, but
they never actually go to the extreme and the argument
because Clay, when Joe Biden comes out and says, you know,
we're gonna we'ren a band assault, right, you know, after
he talks about the ice flavors. The whole point is
to give emotional validation to Democrat voters who think people
who own guns are bad and stupid and wrong. That's it.
(11:11):
It's it's sticking a finger in the eye of the
people on the other side of politics that you don't like.
No serious person who knows the data, who knows history,
and who knows reality thinks that making a change like this,
you know, the Sault rifle band, well, it's going to
be at best, you might if you could eliminate every
single rifle shooting in the country, you might bring down
the violence right by one percent. And of course that's
(11:32):
not going to happen because people are gonna have illegal
guns because that's who kills people. Buck are you When
this happened, we were talking off air and I said
based on these details. We didn't say it publicly on
the air, but I was like, this feels like it's
probably going to be a transshooter. To me, that was
my prediction. And I didn't know if you mean should
just you all know, try Clay said this to me,
(11:55):
and I will confirm this because you just said it
on air. Yeah, right when this happened, based on what's
going on in tennis See. And I looked at him
in you know, we just, of course, we would never
say anything in the air. We couldn't, you know, provide
factual basis for and don't want to speculate Speckett, but
the two of us talking about where this was going. Privately,
Clay thought this was what was going to happen. And
(12:15):
then I said, and if I'm right, this story will
vanish because the CNNs in the MSNBC's will not want
to talk about a trans shooter. If this were a
Trump supporting right winger, Joe Biden would already be on
the ground in Nashville, just like Joe Biden didn't go
(12:36):
to East Palestine, Ohio, Buck, why is the president not here?
The President traveled to Buffalo. President traveled to basically anywhere
where he can sell the narrative of right wing extremism,
try to tie it into January sixth, everything else. I
don't think he's gonna come to Nashville at all over
(12:58):
this shooting. And look, I under stand there are a
lot of people out there listening to me in Nashville
who say, yeah, we don't want him here, We don't
want him in the state of Tennessee. I understand. But
where the president travels sends a message about what the
president thinks is important. And Joe Biden said I'm here
to restore the soul of the nation. Wouldn't that include
pointing out when crazy trans people are it appears, attacking
(13:23):
religious people. That seems like a direct threat to the
soul of the nation. What could be a more obvious
and ghoulish and horrific evil then an adult walking into
a school like this and seeing a nine year old
girl and shooting that nine year old girl and then
(13:44):
doing it again and again. There is nothing, There is
nothing more evil than this. And every person, certainly every
parent in the country knows that. Why Joe Biden has
not already flown to this part of Nashville and is
not hugging to parents and telling them we'll do everything
we can for you. We are so sorry as a nation.
(14:05):
Would I would like to hear some Democrat try to
explain why that has not happened yet. He's too busy,
has to go, has to go, you know, go for
gay number four hundred out at the beach house. Really
too busy for this. Unacceptable, unacceptable, And if it were
a Trump individual, Trump supporter, he would have already been here.
I really do believe that three years ago, at this time,
(14:27):
we were all grappling with the shutdowns put in place
by our government over COVID. You might remember run at
the grocery store when you couldn't find things empty shelves.
A lot of people then decided, you know what, I
need to take care of the food security in my household.
And many of you have already done this, but a
lot of you still haven't. Check out my Patriot Supply

of Truth past and still lit every day The Clay
(15:35):
Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Welcome back to Clay and Buck.
I've got a little bit of breaking news. This coming
from zero Headge citing Politico reporting that the Trump grand jury.
You got it, yep, yeah, I'll read. I'll read. This
story just broke eight minutes ago, Buck, and the headline
(15:58):
is Manhattan Trump grand jury set to break for a month.
A previously pant plan that says hiatus would put pushback
a potential indictment. And here's the opening paragraph. The Manhattan
grand jury examining Donald Trump's alleged role in a hush
money payment will not isn't expected to hear evidence in
(16:20):
the case for the next month due to a previously
scheduled hiatus. The break would push any indictment to late
April at the earliest. Um. Again, look, it doesn't sound
like something's coming based on that, I think. I think
this is all gonna collapse, like every other just maniacal
(16:42):
effort to get Trump on some trumped up charge. There's
nothing flimsier of all of the investigations and all the
all the theoretical criminal prosecutions of Trump. I mean, this
is honestly the most absurd and the weakest. So it
looks like they won't be able to just push it through. Um.
(17:03):
I think that the month long delay here, they'll just
use this to let let this fade out. You know.
Then Brag will tell his people, and Brag will tell
his office, and the narrative will be that he took
it to the brink, but in the in the interest
of not of justice, but in an interest of you know,
of national reconciliation and not having Trump supporters get violent,
(17:25):
he decided not to. They'll come up with some story.
I really don't think they're gonna do it now. I
just think about this, right, I mean, they're gonna come back.
It's so much easier to dismiss this and walk away
when no one's talked about it for a month. But
in the meantime it creates this, Oh no, we haven't
we haven't bailed out where this was planned? We're just
doing this. If it was planned, why did everybody think
(17:45):
that this was going to come down a few days ago? Right?
I think you're right. And again, if they're not going
to hear this case until late April, you run basically
into summer very quickly, and then it gets hard to
justify when you're only a few months out from Iowa voting.
Many small business owners are getting a refund of their
(18:06):
taxes from the IRS part of a program Congress pass
to help small businesses get through the pandemic. It's called
the Employer Retention Credit or ARC, and this is completely
different than the PPP. The company that really understands this
is Getrefunds dot Com and they've helped businesses get three
billion dollars in refunds to date. Unless than eight minutes
you can see if your business qualifies for ARC assistance.
(18:29):
Your business may be eligible for a payroll tax refund
of up the twenty six thousand dollars per employee kept
on payroll during COVID nineteen. There's no upfront charge either.
They don't get paid unless your business gets its refund.
Many businesses believe they won't qualify based off incomplete or
outdated information. So don't let this opportunity pass you by.
Because this payroll tax refund is only available for a
(18:49):
limited time, go to getrefunds dot com. That's get refunds
dot com. Sleet, Travis and Buck Sexton on the front
lines of truth. Welcome back in. I hope all of
you are having a fantastic Wednesday. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton
rolling through our friends at The View. Buck, we had
(19:11):
a relatively short lived, I would say, kumbay yah moment
when Whoopie Goldberg had like two takes in a row
that we agreed with, and we said, hey, maybe the
View was turning a corner. We thought, maybe invite the
two of us on the Clay and Buck extra special.
Maybe that maybe The View isn't the dumbest show in
(19:32):
America that airs on a daily basis. No, they've continued,
Joy Bay Haars falling apart, but Sonny Hosten sometimes escapes
are ridicule as also a uniquely dumb individual. It's like
joy by Hars Joe Biden and Sonny Hostin might be
her Kamala Harris that the duo is so awful sometimes
(19:57):
it's hard to know which is worse. Sonny Houston said
she doesn't care at all about China imprisoning Muslims because
black people are put in jail in America. This is
really what she said. Listen, and so, as a woman
of color with a six foot two black kid in
college and a five foot seven, five foot eight black
(20:19):
kid in high school, I don't see that part of
American exceptionalism. I'm sorry. I think this country has a
lot of problems that could be solved. Yes, maybe they're
putting Muslims in jail in Afghanistan. I think you mentioned
in China, they're putting a lot of black more black
people in jail. Kid. Okay, okay. What do we think
(20:41):
of the chances that any of the ladies of the view,
first of all, know what a weaker is or would
be able to spell it. I don't know that. To
be fair, I'm not sure that I could spell weager,
So it's tough to be fair, to be fair. That
is a really hard one to spell so, but that
is a group that she is. What she said Muslim.
She's talking about the Turkic wagers of Western China in
(21:04):
Shinjiang Province, who are in literal and I use that
word appropriately because people overuse it all the time, literal
concentration camps. Yes, because they are the wrong ethnicity and
religious group for the Chinese Communist Party. She is comparing
that to people going to prison for rape, murder, drugs,
every serious felony, every serious crime in the country and
(21:29):
a similar Yes. This is important because she would probably
get fired on its face if she said something like
that about the Holocaust. Right, Oh, I don't really care
about the Holocaust because we put a lot of black
men in jail in America today. And why does the
height of her kids matter? This is really weird. Like
she said, I've got a six foot two black son
(21:51):
in college, and then I've got a five seven or
five eight black son in high school. It's like, why
does that? Why? Why does anybody care what height you're
kids are? It doesn't make any sense at all, um,
But it's weird that she would. I think she has
a law degree. Look up Sonny Hasten and say she does.
She was so fun fun fact, I was I was
(22:15):
on a pilot for a CNN show where they ran
a bunch of different people, and if I remember correctly,
she was one of the people on the panel, and
she was supposed to be the legal expert. I think
that itself. But how could you be so unaware? And
that's what I'm saying about the Holocaust idea when you're
(22:36):
in a concentration camp. I'm sorry, I'm sort there. This
is important because I swear to God, Clay, I didn't
even rup you. I'm sorry. I swear that I was
gonna say, I bet her son that she's so worried
about goes to Harvard. Where do you think her son
goes to school? Clay, give you one guess, Harvard student.
(22:59):
And I am sure that it is. Like, you know,
it's very hard to go to the number one university
on the planet because your mom is a famous person
and you know, amazing dad is their dad. She's married
to an orthopedic surgeon. So if you want to talk
about privileged offspring in America today, mom who is on
(23:22):
a daily television show, dad who is an orthopedic surgeon,
and the mom is going to sit on television and
say I don't care about what goes on in China
because there are black people in jail in America, well,
concentration camps. You get put there because of your identity,
not because of something that you did right. And for
(23:45):
her to not be smart enough to understand the difference,
and she also said Afghanistan, this is this is uh,
I mean she got so much wrong far far away,
plays with Muslims like who cau this is This is
to me evidence of the cover that elites, elites in
(24:09):
America often give to China because they try to falsely
equivocate for errors that may not be poor, like our
small imperfections. They use this is what the NBA does.
This is what so many people is what MSNBC, what, what,
what CNN do? They cover for China by pointing out
(24:31):
that America is imperfect, and they point out our imperfections
as a way to justify not caring about the blatant
human rights violations of China. I think also this comparison
with China is particularly interesting because here is a multi
millionaire Sonny Houstin, who is essentially saying I don't I
(24:53):
don't care about what's going on in the forced labor camps,
with the forced sterilization of women, with over a million
people confirmed and the numbers probably much higher than that
going through this who are also subject to extreme brutality, execution,
and torture for speaking out against the state. I can't
focus on that because I have a son who's at Harvard,
(25:14):
and it's really hard and dangerous to be at Harvard.
He's six two buck I mean her six ft son.
I mean the racism that her son must be experiencing
at Harvard compared to the racism that is going on
in communist China in the concentration camps. I can imagine
why she really, you know, she can't focus on number two,
(25:36):
can only think about number one. How often it is
our stupid things said on the View? I mean, can
I tell you the problem. They couldn't have us on
the view because if we actually went there and got
to they would try to shout us down. But the
people on that set are so stupid and so ignorant.
But I know people don't like name calling here. Sorry,
(25:56):
they're so lacking in knowledge, wisdom, context. I don't mind
the name calling, by the way, I think they are
stupid and ignorant. Well, I'm just saying no, it would
be impossible to have a conversation with them where And
that's also why, by the way, they have like Joy
Behar there so they can always revert back to they
want to speak about serious issues. This has been described
(26:17):
and it was actually John Stewart that I initially think
was written about this way. Clown knows on, clown knows off.
Like sometimes Joy Behar wants to be serious. Sometimes Joy
Behar when she gets it's not it's not that she
can make jokes and do political analysis. It's when her
political analysis shows she has no idea what she's talking about,
has never read anything, nor has any knowledge of the
(26:38):
subject matter. Then it's just, oh, we're all just making
jokes as this constant expects, as this escape valve as
a cover. And also you know this, and I know this,
but I think a lot of our listeners may not.
There's this behind the scenes staff, probably of thirty people
or more working on the view. So it's not only
(27:02):
that people like Sonny Houston are really woefully misinformed and
ignorant about many of the topics upon which they're speaking.
It's that they're willfully doing that in many respects because
if you were on that show and you wanted to
be surrounded by super smart people who could inform you
to make sure that you get facts right and don't
(27:24):
sound like such an imbecile, they would be able to
have that staff right. Like. This isn't some situation where
it's a YouTube show and they don't make much money
and sometimes people are going to screw up. This is
a highly produced, incredibly lucrative daytime television show which has
all the resources it needs to make its hosts as
(27:45):
intelligent as they can be, and they still look like
idiots every time. I will say I actually think that
they their service to the Democrat Party is to make
Democrat voters feel more comfortable in their ignorance. It's it's
like hanging out with the dumb kids in the class,
but they're the cool kids in the class, and so
you feel okay not doing your homework too, because the
(28:07):
cool kids aren't doing their homework. So I'm gonna go,
you know, smoke cigarettes after class with them and fail.
That's the purpose of the view to make people who
don't want to do the work to learn anything feel
okay with that and By the way, if you think
these shows don't matter, these are overwhelmingly consumed by women
that air during the day, suburban moms and grandmas, and
(28:31):
those are the people that are going to be deciding
this election. That's the reality. Men overwhelmingly vote for Republican candidates.
That's the truth. Can we increase the number of men
who vote for Republican candidates. Probably, But women are the
true swing voters, buying large in the suburbs, and they're
listening to these imbeciles. For families with high school seniors graduating,
(28:54):
the spring topic at the dinner table all too often
what college you're going to go to. It's one of
the great privileges in this nation, the availability and access
we all have to education. Few people appreciate the process
as much as the faculty and administration at Hillsdale College.
They won't say it, but I will. The college provides
their students with the best classical liberal arts education in America.
(29:16):
When these students graduate, they've studied the great books, the
history of Western civilization in America, the meaning and history
of the Constitution. Hillsdale was founded in eighteen forty four
to offer the kind of education needed to preserve civil
and religious liberty. One hundred and eighty years later, it
holds true to that mission today while refusing to accept
one penny of taxpayer funding, and that includes not even
(29:38):
indirectly in the form of student grants and loans. Even
if you've never stop foot on the campus in Michigan,
you can learn from Hillsdale for free through in Primise,
their monthly newsletter, and by taking online courses on American history,

million big ones, but the fouch five million dollars for
little Tony Fauci for his memoir. And by the way,
(30:28):
that is how you pronounce it. If you're going to
be a Fauci ide a memoir. How so many people
want to buy I mean, okay, the book. I have
a theory bouty a little bit. What do you think's
going on here? I have a theory about this. Anthony
Fauci could just put his little face on a book
and have whatever title he wants, and he will sell
(30:49):
at least hundreds of thousands of copies. And he would
sell it even if every single page was blank, because
the purpose of the foul sheet book is like the
purpose of still masking, which is to show where everybody
how smart and sciency and liberal you are. So this
(31:10):
is a this is the ultimate Libby coffee table shoal
Justice hundred book percent. Can I tell you something, you know,
I've looked at houses with Carrie, you know, just a
little little house, shopping, looking around and seeing things, and
she always laughs because I'm always just curious. I always
want to take a look at the books. Oh yeah,
because I know right away. I always can tell right away.
(31:32):
Not that I mean, I know I live in a
house of live said soul to me. It doesn't really matter,
but I just think it's kind of funny. I can
tell who the person is. And then with Instagram you
can figure it out right away too, And I'm never wrong.
But I can look at the books in someone's home,
and I basically know who I'm dealing with even with that,
And I do think you're right. I think that the
Fauci book probably will be right up there with like
(31:54):
Michelle Obama's Becoming or whatever the name of that book
was that sold like three million copies. How many people
actually ever open that book? I think less than five
percent of the people that that bought Michelle Obama's book.
I would bet less than five percent of them read
the whole book. That's I don't think. I don't think
that's a crazy perspective, right, They just mean you can
(32:15):
never check these numbers. But if you actually, if you
got if you got a hundred Michelle Obama book purchasers
in a room and gave them the most basic reading
comprehension test on that book, five of the hundred would pass.
That would be such a good that would be it
would be amazing. But you know that would be a
great television quiz um. You know, I think you're probably right.
(32:38):
I would bet Michelle Obama's book is the single most purchased,
so you can look good for purchasing it. Book of
the twenty first century. That would be my guests. Now,
there are other ones, Hillary Clinton's memoir, Barack Obama. I
tend to think that left wingers would be way more
impressed by the idea that you read a book, which
(32:59):
is why I'm citing those in particular. But I just
even with that in context, I don't think that Fauci
is enough of an icon that even that many people
will buy his book. This reminds me Buck years and
years ago, and I can't even remember the guy's name
(33:20):
was the first athlete to come out as gay basketball player.
One of our staff can look it up. ESPN. I
believe published the book. They turned it into like it
was the biggest reveal that you could ever imagine. Oh
my goodness, this former NBA player is gay and now
he's written a memoir about it, and they you couldn't
(33:41):
have given more publicity to this book. It sold like
seven thousand copies and it was probably the most promoted
sports book of the year because most people didn't care
about the guy and they also didn't care about it
being gay, right, Like, so what, okay, so you're gay
and you played basketball. That doesn't really most people don't
care unless you're really good at the sport. Two and
(34:03):
then you might be like, Okay, this sounds like an
interesting book to read. Um totally fell flat on its face.
I feel like this Fauci book is going to be
the same way, because I think everybody on the planet.
He'll come out and do his usual interviews everywhere. But
I don't think it's like I don't think he's as
beloved as Michelle Obama. I think it's even faker that
(34:23):
people claim that they like him. Well, I mean, Michelle
Obama probably got like fifteen or twenty million for her
book all in right, I mean it's I mean more
than five five But to Michelle Obama's credit, the number
of copies of her book that sold, the publisher made money.
This feels if you're a Democrat book Yeah, if you're
a Democrat, you bought the Michelle Obama book pretty much.
(34:43):
I mean that's that's the way I think that a
lot of people would would be the Faucie book. I
think they're gonna lose millions of dollars on I don't
think they're being interested. I don't think so. I think
that they're When does the verse come out? Do we know?
I don't even think it's been it's gonna be Ghosts written. Obviously,
I don't even know when it's supposed to come out,
but the Fauci Book is table this one. We'll table
(35:03):
this one out. I think it's gonna sell pretty well
because Clay there are I'm telling you, when I came
back from a honeymoon whatever, that was six weeks ago,
now a month ago, I can't even remember the number
of people in the Lax Airport that we're you know,
I'm going to be in New York this week, coming
up next week. The number of people in the Lax
airport with masks on. I'm not saying it was a
(35:26):
super high percentage, but they were all over the place.
It was like five to ten percent of everybody in
that airport. At this stage of the game. All of
those people will buy the Fauci Book because it's it's like, uh,
it's like the you know, it'll be the security, the
Bible of Faucism. I don't know what else to say.
It'll be their religious text. I just you know, I
(35:49):
flew back from DC early this morning, and this is
where I just can't get passed every time i'm flying. Now,
young kids in masks, what are their parents doing? If
you got a four year old and you're in an
airport in twenty twenty three and your kid is still
wearing a mask. That is, to me so clearly child abuse.
(36:13):
I just feel bad for the kid because I can
only imagine how hellish the last three years of that
kid's life has to have been. If there's still a
parent demanding they wear a mask after three years of COVID.
Imagine what restrictions were put on those kids. How few
of them got to go outside and live normal lives,
And unfortunately, I think their immune systems are going to
(36:36):
bear the brunt of that overprotectiveness for years and years
to come. I totally agree. Coming up here in a
few moments, we're going to talk about do democrats really
have an idea of how to bring down crime? If
you look in DC and what's going on there, it'll
blow your mind how lawless it's becoming.
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck
Sexton Show. We hope, wherever you may be across the
world around the country, that you are having a fantastic
midpoint of your week and that you are ready to
hang out with us for the next three hours and
hopefully have some fun while also being entertained. We've got
(00:23):
a ton of different topics to dive into with you.
The latest on the Nashville school shooting and the continued
fallout surrounding that De Santis versus Trump. Polling data continues
to come out maybe the dumbest opinion in Sonny Hostin's career.
On the view, We've got doctor Fauci being rewarded with
(00:49):
a multi million dollar book advance. And also, when you
consider all of the cities in America right now, it's
possible the Washington d C. District Attorney is prosecuting the
fewest of all of the crimes that are occurring in
the nation's capital. I was there yesterday, back home in
(01:09):
Nashville today, and how does that compare to jan sixth. Also,
is the Trump indictment in New York City falling apart.
They are not hearing anymore reportedly on the Trump indictment
this week maybe not also next week. We'll break all
that down for you. But Buck, we wait now in
(01:32):
Nashville for the release of the trans shooters manifesto. I
am told that it is going to be released. When
exactly it will be released remains unclear. I think it
should happen today. The Nashville Police did a phenomenal job
(01:53):
responding to the shooting at the school. We played and
talked about the videos from inside of that school. How
heroic so many of those officers were. The Nashville Police
have been very forthcoming with all the details of this
investigation on a fairly rapid fashion. Now is the time
to share that manifesto because in the absence of that
(02:19):
manifesto coming out, many people are trying to fill this void,
so to speak, and argue. I'm sure you're seeing all
the same headlines that I am, Buck, where for instance,
NBC NBC News put up a headline yesterday that said,
fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooter's
(02:42):
gender identity. We were already fearing for our lives. Now,
it's even worse. That's a quote. No, it's worse for
the kids that were killed by the trans woman, or
by the woman who was a trans man, whatever you
want to say. It's definitely worse for them. Yet their
suffering is not being covered. And I wanted to play
(03:04):
this for you, Buck. They're now arguing, Oh, the victims
would be alive if they had it passed the trans
bills in Tennessee. This is a TikToker red ahearn that
is sharing an opinion that has been widely discussed in
the trans community in the wake of this shooting. Listen
to cut one. I wonder if the parents of the
(03:28):
victims of the Nashville shooting today would still have their
children if these trans builds in Tennessee were never a thing.
I'm not a parent, but if I were, I'd be real,
real mad at the government. I'd be real, real mad
at the government. And let's be very clear, Clay that
here you have people on the left. We just played
(03:49):
audio that was from the lives of TikTok account who
are explicitly saying that if there are more of these
bills to prevent the mutilation of the intermutilation of children,
that there will be more school shootings, that there'll be
more people killed, there'll be more violence. Essentially, it's it's
an implicit this is what terrorists do. This is what
(04:10):
terrorists do. It's you know, nice, nice society you have.
There be a shame if something happened to it, to
be a shame if something crumbled the civilization that you
think you live in. And and the media. I have
to say, it is remarkable to me that I expect
that in the aftermath of something like this when the
perpetrator is someone that is first of all, always elevated
(04:34):
generally by the left right. The trans community in general
is constantly elevated. So this is they're they're taught telling
us all the time the trans community is marginalized and victimize,
and we hear all these stats about the the murderer
of the people within the trans community. SATs they say
this Saturday, they're having an event about the trans genocide.
When you actually look at the stats, there are very
(04:55):
few trans people who are murdered, in part because there
are very few trans people, and the trans people who
are killed are overwhelmingly killed as either they're involved in
the sex trade. There's some situation that there are not
hate crimes where trans people are being murderal of the country.
That's just not true. Doesn't happen. Doesn't happen. So this
notion that there are this is great theory. And by
the way, of course, everybody should live in safety, security
(05:18):
and decency. Where this show we're very anti murder, we're
very anti murder on the show. But there's a lie
that is being told that there's this constant threat, this
constant fear that the trans community lives under for their safety,
when this is very similar what the left does on
other arguments too. This is not about safety, This is
(05:38):
about policy. This is about whether or not people will
be forced by government power to celebrate what many more
people are starting to see now is a severe mental
illness is actually not something that should be elevated and
treated as an affirmation of identity and all the rest
of it, all the stuff that we hear and use,
the different pronouns and all of this. What they're doing
(06:00):
is what the left always does. If you don't agree
with me, you're literally committing violence against me. That's what
they say. If you don't agree with me on go
down any range of issues. This is why they shout
down speakers in schools. This is why they don't allow
conservatives to even have a voice that they will hear from,
whether it's a fifth Circuit judge, as we saw recently
at Stanford University Law School. So they're doing this purposefully
(06:23):
so that people won't have an honest conversation about it.
And the media, by the way, is going I thought
they would be horrible, but they find new levels of horribleness.
I mean, there is something ghoulish and demonic in the
soul of the Democrat aligne media. This was from Reuters.
I'm not even picking the crazy far left stuff, right,
(06:43):
I mean, that's what we just had, lives of TikTok
Clay former Christian student kills three children, three staff in
Nashville studing. Did you see that headline? That is the
Ruyter's headline, former Christian student kills three Oh gee, I
wonder are we all supposed to be so stupid that
we don't see the politics The victims here Christian children,
(07:06):
Christian adults, a Christian school. But because the trans left
wing lunatic perpetrator attended to school twenty years ago, that's
what They lead with play gee, and we played for you.
I believe it was yesterday, CNN saying, look, the fact
that the shooter was trans is a major distraction from
(07:31):
the real story here, which is guns yesterday. MSNBC also
climbing on that argument, focusing on the transgender identity. MSNBC,
this is ali Velshi. They're saying here in this conversation,
it's actually uniquely dangerous to the trans community to point
(07:54):
out that someone in the trans community committed cold blooded
murder of six innocent people. Listen, no idea if the
shooter was undergoing hormone therapy. But in the words of
Congressman Green quote, everyone can stop blaming guns now, which
is really code for focusing on the shooter's identity, something
conservatives don't seem overly concerned about when the shooter is
a white man, which is often trans people are already
(08:15):
more likely to experience violence simply because they are trans people.
So the right focusing on that is uniquely dangerous and
we have to respond to that. But it is also
a distraction because there are plenty of trans people in
plenty of countries all over the world. But once again,
America is the only nation where shootings like this happen
over and over again. So maybe it's not mental health
(08:38):
or video games or hormones. Maybe it's the guns. Okay,
the guns, the guns, the guns. The guns are not
going anywhere. I wish somebody would just follow down the
rabbit hole. Randy Weingarten zen imbecile buck. But she at
least came out and said we need to go collect
everybody's guns. Did you see that clip of her basically
(08:58):
saying at least whether you agree or disagree with her,
and certainly I think almost everyone listening to us right
now disagrees with her. At least she's not pretending away
what she wants to do, which is, I think this
is a goal here, period. I think you're making I
think this is an important point that that you're making here,
which is that the only honest argument on the left,
(09:21):
the honest argument would be we're taking all of your guns.
We're sending agents of the state with guns to take
your guns. Yes, and they will shoot you if you
don't give your guns up. That is it, right? That
is the only honest argument about gun control taken to
its extreme, taken to where it would actually I mean, yes,
(09:41):
that's what will there be fewer shootings? Right? Yea, this
is there is the reality of the nobody had a
gun and if the government took all your guns away.
That's Randy white Garden's argument because the other side of
this is when they say, okay, we're going to ban
a our fifteens, I say, well, this this individual went
into a went into a grammar school with three guns.
(10:03):
A pistol would have been just as deadly under the circumstances.
Multiple pit and anyone who wants to argue with this,
First of all, they sound like idiots because you just
go and look at fort Hood two pistols, Virginia Tech
shooting pistols. So this notion that some kind of restriction
on the cosmetics or the magazine or any of that
stuff would stop a shooting is just ignorance. That's why
(10:27):
the art, this is why people in the Second Amendment
community gets so frustrated. It's let's have the real talk.
You want no Second Amendment libs, you want no guns
in civilian hands period. And you know it's amazing because
they talk about Australian They'll say, look at the Australian
buyback program. Look at what a huge success. It was
Australia has more guns in private hands now than it
did before the buyback program, just putting that out there too.
(10:49):
People have no idea what they are talking about, but
they never actually go to the extreme and the argument
because Clay, when Joe Biden comes out and says, you know,
we're gonna we'ren a band assault, right, you know, after
he talks about the ice flavors. The whole point is
to give emotional validation to Democrat voters who think people
who own guns are bad and stupid and wrong. That's it.
(11:11):
It's it's sticking a finger in the eye of the
people on the other side of politics that you don't like.
No serious person who knows the data, who knows history,
and who knows reality thinks that making a change like this,
you know, the Sault rifle band, well, it's going to
be at best, you might if you could eliminate every
single rifle shooting in the country, you might bring down
the violence right by one percent. And of course that's
(11:32):
not going to happen because people are gonna have illegal
guns because that's who kills people. Buck are you When
this happened, we were talking off air and I said
based on these details. We didn't say it publicly on
the air, but I was like, this feels like it's
probably going to be a transshooter. To me, that was
my prediction. And I didn't know if you mean should
just you all know, try Clay said this to me,
(11:55):
and I will confirm this because you just said it
on air. Yeah, right when this happened, based on what's
going on in tennis See. And I looked at him
in you know, we just, of course, we would never
say anything in the air. We couldn't, you know, provide
factual basis for and don't want to speculate Speckett, but
the two of us talking about where this was going. Privately,
Clay thought this was what was going to happen. And
(12:15):
then I said, and if I'm right, this story will
vanish because the CNNs in the MSNBC's will not want
to talk about a trans shooter. If this were a
Trump supporting right winger, Joe Biden would already be on
the ground in Nashville, just like Joe Biden didn't go
(12:36):
to East Palestine, Ohio, Buck, why is the president not here?
The President traveled to Buffalo. President traveled to basically anywhere
where he can sell the narrative of right wing extremism,
try to tie it into January sixth, everything else. I
don't think he's gonna come to Nashville at all over
(12:58):
this shooting. And look, I under stand there are a
lot of people out there listening to me in Nashville
who say, yeah, we don't want him here, We don't
want him in the state of Tennessee. I understand. But
where the president travels sends a message about what the
president thinks is important. And Joe Biden said I'm here
to restore the soul of the nation. Wouldn't that include
pointing out when crazy trans people are it appears, attacking
(13:23):
religious people. That seems like a direct threat to the
soul of the nation. What could be a more obvious
and ghoulish and horrific evil then an adult walking into
a school like this and seeing a nine year old
girl and shooting that nine year old girl and then
(13:44):
doing it again and again. There is nothing, There is
nothing more evil than this. And every person, certainly every
parent in the country knows that. Why Joe Biden has
not already flown to this part of Nashville and is
not hugging to parents and telling them we'll do everything
we can for you. We are so sorry as a nation.
(14:05):
Would I would like to hear some Democrat try to
explain why that has not happened yet. He's too busy,
has to go, has to go, you know, go for
gay number four hundred out at the beach house. Really
too busy for this. Unacceptable, unacceptable, And if it were
a Trump individual, Trump supporter, he would have already been here.
I really do believe that three years ago, at this time,
(14:27):
we were all grappling with the shutdowns put in place
by our government over COVID. You might remember run at
the grocery store when you couldn't find things empty shelves.
A lot of people then decided, you know what, I
need to take care of the food security in my household.

lot of you still haven't. Check out my Patriot Supply

of Truth past and still lit every day The Clay
(15:35):
Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Welcome back to Clay and Buck.
I've got a little bit of breaking news. This coming
from zero Headge citing Politico reporting that the Trump grand jury.
You got it, yep, yeah, I'll read. I'll read. This
story just broke eight minutes ago, Buck, and the headline
(15:58):
is Manhattan Trump grand jury set to break for a month.
A previously pant plan that says hiatus would put pushback
a potential indictment. And here's the opening paragraph. The Manhattan
grand jury examining Donald Trump's alleged role in a hush
money payment will not isn't expected to hear evidence in
(16:20):
the case for the next month due to a previously
scheduled hiatus. The break would push any indictment to late
April at the earliest. Um. Again, look, it doesn't sound
like something's coming based on that, I think. I think
this is all gonna collapse, like every other just maniacal
(16:42):
effort to get Trump on some trumped up charge. There's
nothing flimsier of all of the investigations and all the
all the theoretical criminal prosecutions of Trump. I mean, this
is honestly the most absurd and the weakest. So it
looks like they won't be able to just push it through. Um.
(17:03):
I think that the month long delay here, they'll just
use this to let let this fade out. You know.
Then Brag will tell his people, and Brag will tell
his office, and the narrative will be that he took
it to the brink, but in the in the interest
of not of justice, but in an interest of you know,
of national reconciliation and not having Trump supporters get violent,
(17:25):
he decided not to. They'll come up with some story.
I really don't think they're gonna do it now. I
just think about this, right, I mean, they're gonna come back.
It's so much easier to dismiss this and walk away
when no one's talked about it for a month. But
in the meantime it creates this, Oh no, we haven't
we haven't bailed out where this was planned? We're just
doing this. If it was planned, why did everybody think
(17:45):
that this was going to come down a few days ago? Right?
I think you're right. And again, if they're not going
to hear this case until late April, you run basically
into summer very quickly, and then it gets hard to
justify when you're only a few months out from Iowa voting.
Many small business owners are getting a refund of their
(18:06):
taxes from the IRS part of a program Congress pass
to help small businesses get through the pandemic. It's called
the Employer Retention Credit or ARC, and this is completely
different than the PPP. The company that really understands this
is Getrefunds dot Com and they've helped businesses get three
billion dollars in refunds to date. Unless than eight minutes
you can see if your business qualifies for ARC assistance.
(18:29):
Your business may be eligible for a payroll tax refund
of up the twenty six thousand dollars per employee kept
on payroll during COVID nineteen. There's no upfront charge either.
They don't get paid unless your business gets its refund.
Many businesses believe they won't qualify based off incomplete or
outdated information. So don't let this opportunity pass you by.
Because this payroll tax refund is only available for a
(18:49):
limited time, go to getrefunds dot com. That's get refunds
dot com. Sleet, Travis and Buck Sexton on the front
lines of truth. Welcome back in. I hope all of
you are having a fantastic Wednesday. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton
rolling through our friends at The View. Buck, we had
(19:11):
a relatively short lived, I would say, kumbay yah moment
when Whoopie Goldberg had like two takes in a row
that we agreed with, and we said, hey, maybe the
View was turning a corner. We thought, maybe invite the
two of us on the Clay and Buck extra special.
Maybe that maybe The View isn't the dumbest show in
(19:32):
America that airs on a daily basis. No, they've continued,
Joy Bay Haars falling apart, but Sonny Hosten sometimes escapes
are ridicule as also a uniquely dumb individual. It's like
joy by Hars Joe Biden and Sonny Hostin might be
her Kamala Harris that the duo is so awful sometimes
(19:57):
it's hard to know which is worse. Sonny Houston said
she doesn't care at all about China imprisoning Muslims because
black people are put in jail in America. This is
really what she said. Listen, and so, as a woman
of color with a six foot two black kid in
college and a five foot seven, five foot eight black
(20:19):
kid in high school, I don't see that part of
American exceptionalism. I'm sorry. I think this country has a
lot of problems that could be solved. Yes, maybe they're
putting Muslims in jail in Afghanistan. I think you mentioned
in China, they're putting a lot of black more black
people in jail. Kid. Okay, okay. What do we think
(20:41):
of the chances that any of the ladies of the view,
first of all, know what a weaker is or would
be able to spell it. I don't know that. To
be fair, I'm not sure that I could spell weager,
So it's tough to be fair, to be fair. That
is a really hard one to spell so, but that
is a group that she is. What she said Muslim.
She's talking about the Turkic wagers of Western China in
(21:04):
Shinjiang Province, who are in literal and I use that
word appropriately because people overuse it all the time, literal
concentration camps. Yes, because they are the wrong ethnicity and
religious group for the Chinese Communist Party. She is comparing
that to people going to prison for rape, murder, drugs,
every serious felony, every serious crime in the country and
(21:29):
a similar Yes. This is important because she would probably
get fired on its face if she said something like
that about the Holocaust. Right, Oh, I don't really care
about the Holocaust because we put a lot of black
men in jail in America today. And why does the
height of her kids matter? This is really weird. Like
she said, I've got a six foot two black son
(21:51):
in college, and then I've got a five seven or
five eight black son in high school. It's like, why
does that? Why? Why does anybody care what height you're
kids are? It doesn't make any sense at all, um,
But it's weird that she would. I think she has
a law degree. Look up Sonny Hasten and say she does.
She was so fun fun fact, I was I was
(22:15):
on a pilot for a CNN show where they ran
a bunch of different people, and if I remember correctly,
she was one of the people on the panel, and
she was supposed to be the legal expert. I think
that itself. But how could you be so unaware? And
that's what I'm saying about the Holocaust idea when you're
(22:36):
in a concentration camp. I'm sorry, I'm sort there. This
is important because I swear to God, Clay, I didn't
even rup you. I'm sorry. I swear that I was
gonna say, I bet her son that she's so worried
about goes to Harvard. Where do you think her son
goes to school? Clay, give you one guess, Harvard student.
(22:59):
And I am sure that it is. Like, you know,
it's very hard to go to the number one university
on the planet because your mom is a famous person
and you know, amazing dad is their dad. She's married
to an orthopedic surgeon. So if you want to talk
about privileged offspring in America today, mom who is on
(23:22):
a daily television show, dad who is an orthopedic surgeon,
and the mom is going to sit on television and
say I don't care about what goes on in China
because there are black people in jail in America, well,
concentration camps. You get put there because of your identity,
not because of something that you did right. And for
(23:45):
her to not be smart enough to understand the difference,
and she also said Afghanistan, this is this is uh,
I mean she got so much wrong far far away,
plays with Muslims like who cau this is This is
to me evidence of the cover that elites, elites in
(24:09):
America often give to China because they try to falsely
equivocate for errors that may not be poor, like our
small imperfections. They use this is what the NBA does.
This is what so many people is what MSNBC, what, what,
what CNN do? They cover for China by pointing out
(24:31):
that America is imperfect, and they point out our imperfections
as a way to justify not caring about the blatant
human rights violations of China. I think also this comparison
with China is particularly interesting because here is a multi
millionaire Sonny Houstin, who is essentially saying I don't I
(24:53):
don't care about what's going on in the forced labor camps,
with the forced sterilization of women, with over a million
people confirmed and the numbers probably much higher than that
going through this who are also subject to extreme brutality, execution,
and torture for speaking out against the state. I can't
focus on that because I have a son who's at Harvard,
(25:14):
and it's really hard and dangerous to be at Harvard.
He's six two buck I mean her six ft son.
I mean the racism that her son must be experiencing
at Harvard compared to the racism that is going on
in communist China in the concentration camps. I can imagine
why she really, you know, she can't focus on number two,
(25:36):
can only think about number one. How often it is
our stupid things said on the View? I mean, can
I tell you the problem. They couldn't have us on
the view because if we actually went there and got
to they would try to shout us down. But the
people on that set are so stupid and so ignorant.
But I know people don't like name calling here. Sorry,
(25:56):
they're so lacking in knowledge, wisdom, context. I don't mind
the name calling, by the way, I think they are
stupid and ignorant. Well, I'm just saying no, it would
be impossible to have a conversation with them where And
that's also why, by the way, they have like Joy
Behar there so they can always revert back to they
want to speak about serious issues. This has been described
(26:17):
and it was actually John Stewart that I initially think
was written about this way. Clown knows on, clown knows off.
Like sometimes Joy Behar wants to be serious. Sometimes Joy
Behar when she gets it's not it's not that she
can make jokes and do political analysis. It's when her
political analysis shows she has no idea what she's talking about,
has never read anything, nor has any knowledge of the
(26:38):
subject matter. Then it's just, oh, we're all just making
jokes as this constant expects, as this escape valve as
a cover. And also you know this, and I know this,
but I think a lot of our listeners may not.
There's this behind the scenes staff, probably of thirty people
or more working on the view. So it's not only
(27:02):
that people like Sonny Houston are really woefully misinformed and
ignorant about many of the topics upon which they're speaking.
It's that they're willfully doing that in many respects because
if you were on that show and you wanted to
be surrounded by super smart people who could inform you
to make sure that you get facts right and don't
(27:24):
sound like such an imbecile, they would be able to
have that staff right. Like. This isn't some situation where
it's a YouTube show and they don't make much money
and sometimes people are going to screw up. This is
a highly produced, incredibly lucrative daytime television show which has
all the resources it needs to make its hosts as
(27:45):
intelligent as they can be, and they still look like
idiots every time. I will say I actually think that
they their service to the Democrat Party is to make
Democrat voters feel more comfortable in their ignorance. It's it's
like hanging out with the dumb kids in the class,
but they're the cool kids in the class, and so
you feel okay not doing your homework too, because the
(28:07):
cool kids aren't doing their homework. So I'm gonna go,
you know, smoke cigarettes after class with them and fail.
That's the purpose of the view to make people who
don't want to do the work to learn anything feel
okay with that and By the way, if you think
these shows don't matter, these are overwhelmingly consumed by women
that air during the day, suburban moms and grandmas, and
(28:31):
those are the people that are going to be deciding
this election. That's the reality. Men overwhelmingly vote for Republican candidates.
That's the truth. Can we increase the number of men
who vote for Republican candidates. Probably, But women are the
true swing voters, buying large in the suburbs, and they're
listening to these imbeciles. For families with high school seniors graduating,
(28:54):
the spring topic at the dinner table all too often
what college you're going to go to. It's one of
the great privileges in this nation, the availability and access
we all have to education. Few people appreciate the process
as much as the faculty and administration at Hillsdale College.
They won't say it, but I will. The college provides
their students with the best classical liberal arts education in America.
(29:16):
When these students graduate, they've studied the great books, the
history of Western civilization in America, the meaning and history
of the Constitution. Hillsdale was founded in eighteen forty four
to offer the kind of education needed to preserve civil
and religious liberty. One hundred and eighty years later, it
holds true to that mission today while refusing to accept
one penny of taxpayer funding, and that includes not even
(29:38):
indirectly in the form of student grants and loans. Even
if you've never stop foot on the campus in Michigan,
you can learn from Hillsdale for free through in Primise,
their monthly newsletter, and by taking online courses on American history,
the Constitution, and other subjects. See for yourself. Learn more

million big ones, but the fouch five million dollars for
little Tony Fauci for his memoir. And by the way,
(30:28):
that is how you pronounce it. If you're going to
be a Fauci ide a memoir. How so many people
want to buy I mean, okay, the book. I have
a theory bouty a little bit. What do you think's
going on here? I have a theory about this. Anthony
Fauci could just put his little face on a book
and have whatever title he wants, and he will sell
(30:49):
at least hundreds of thousands of copies. And he would
sell it even if every single page was blank, because
the purpose of the foul sheet book is like the
purpose of still masking, which is to show where everybody
how smart and sciency and liberal you are. So this
(31:10):
is a this is the ultimate Libby coffee table shoal
Justice hundred book percent. Can I tell you something, you know,
I've looked at houses with Carrie, you know, just a
little little house, shopping, looking around and seeing things, and
she always laughs because I'm always just curious. I always
want to take a look at the books. Oh yeah,
because I know right away. I always can tell right away.
(31:32):
Not that I mean, I know I live in a
house of live said soul to me. It doesn't really matter,
but I just think it's kind of funny. I can
tell who the person is. And then with Instagram you
can figure it out right away too, And I'm never wrong.
But I can look at the books in someone's home,
and I basically know who I'm dealing with even with that,
And I do think you're right. I think that the
Fauci book probably will be right up there with like
(31:54):
Michelle Obama's Becoming or whatever the name of that book
was that sold like three million copies. How many people
actually ever open that book? I think less than five
percent of the people that that bought Michelle Obama's book.
I would bet less than five percent of them read
the whole book. That's I don't think. I don't think
that's a crazy perspective, right, They just mean you can
(32:15):
never check these numbers. But if you actually, if you
got if you got a hundred Michelle Obama book purchasers
in a room and gave them the most basic reading
comprehension test on that book, five of the hundred would pass.
That would be such a good that would be it
would be amazing. But you know that would be a
great television quiz um. You know, I think you're probably right.
(32:38):
I would bet Michelle Obama's book is the single most purchased,
so you can look good for purchasing it. Book of
the twenty first century. That would be my guests. Now,
there are other ones, Hillary Clinton's memoir, Barack Obama. I
tend to think that left wingers would be way more
impressed by the idea that you read a book, which
(32:59):
is why I'm citing those in particular. But I just
even with that in context, I don't think that Fauci
is enough of an icon that even that many people
will buy his book. This reminds me Buck years and
years ago, and I can't even remember the guy's name
(33:20):
was the first athlete to come out as gay basketball player.
One of our staff can look it up. ESPN. I
believe published the book. They turned it into like it
was the biggest reveal that you could ever imagine. Oh
my goodness, this former NBA player is gay and now
he's written a memoir about it, and they you couldn't
(33:41):
have given more publicity to this book. It sold like
seven thousand copies and it was probably the most promoted
sports book of the year because most people didn't care
about the guy and they also didn't care about it
being gay, right, Like, so what, okay, so you're gay
and you played basketball. That doesn't really most people don't
care unless you're really good at the sport. Two and
(34:03):
then you might be like, Okay, this sounds like an
interesting book to read. Um totally fell flat on its face.
I feel like this Fauci book is going to be
the same way, because I think everybody on the planet.
He'll come out and do his usual interviews everywhere. But
I don't think it's like I don't think he's as
beloved as Michelle Obama. I think it's even faker that
(34:23):
people claim that they like him. Well, I mean, Michelle
Obama probably got like fifteen or twenty million for her
book all in right, I mean it's I mean more
than five five But to Michelle Obama's credit, the number
of copies of her book that sold, the publisher made money.
This feels if you're a Democrat book Yeah, if you're
a Democrat, you bought the Michelle Obama book pretty much.
(34:43):
I mean that's that's the way I think that a
lot of people would would be the Faucie book. I
think they're gonna lose millions of dollars on I don't
think they're being interested. I don't think so. I think
that they're When does the verse come out? Do we know?
I don't even think it's been it's gonna be Ghosts written. Obviously,
I don't even know when it's supposed to come out,
but the Fauci Book is table this one. We'll table
(35:03):
this one out. I think it's gonna sell pretty well
because Clay there are I'm telling you, when I came
back from a honeymoon whatever, that was six weeks ago,
now a month ago, I can't even remember the number
of people in the Lax Airport that we're you know,
I'm going to be in New York this week, coming
up next week. The number of people in the Lax
airport with masks on. I'm not saying it was a
(35:26):
super high percentage, but they were all over the place.
It was like five to ten percent of everybody in
that airport. At this stage of the game. All of
those people will buy the Fauci Book because it's it's like, uh,
it's like the you know, it'll be the security, the
Bible of Faucism. I don't know what else to say.
It'll be their religious text. I just you know, I
(35:49):
flew back from DC early this morning, and this is
where I just can't get passed every time i'm flying. Now,
young kids in masks, what are their parents doing? If
you got a four year old and you're in an
airport in twenty twenty three and your kid is still
wearing a mask. That is, to me so clearly child abuse.
(36:13):
I just feel bad for the kid because I can
only imagine how hellish the last three years of that
kid's life has to have been. If there's still a
parent demanding they wear a mask after three years of COVID.
Imagine what restrictions were put on those kids. How few
of them got to go outside and live normal lives,
And unfortunately, I think their immune systems are going to
(36:36):
bear the brunt of that overprotectiveness for years and years
to come. I totally agree. Coming up here in a
few moments, we're going to talk about do democrats really
have an idea of how to bring down crime? If
you look in DC and what's going on there, it'll
blow your mind how lawless it's becoming.
