Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. It is Clay time, it is Buck time.
It is the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Getting
ready to dive into it all with you. Thanks for
being with us. Oh my, another day. More stories coming in.
The pressure on Joe Biden continues, although I think it's
getting to be more pathetic and less ominous for Biden's future,
(00:23):
although we shall see that all turn on a dime.
You will dive into all of that here momentarily, so
looking forward to breaking that down for you for sure.
We've also got Trump in Miami yesterday. He gave a
rally and had some very interesting things to say, so
(00:44):
we will make sense of all of that. The Miami
rally also Axios with a story according to Trump advisors,
the swing state rankings of hardest and easiest win. Did
you see this play this.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Week and it's surprised that it's I would switched one
in two.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah. I think that Wisconsin is their most challenging. But
they said something else, so we will dive into some
of that. Maggie Haberman weighs in on the Trump reaction
the Trump team reaction to the calls for the Biden campaigns,
saying they're staying or Biden's not going. Also Supreme Court justice,
(01:22):
so to my oars bodyguards. I believe the US marshals
shot a would be a carjacker yesterday. And this is
interesting one just because it shows you in DC, even
our Supreme Court justices have to be worried about getting
their cars robbed or getting carjacked. Also sort of my
(01:43):
ore as you no doubt, No is very opposed to
anyone being able to bear arms to defend themselves, does
not believe, explicitly rejects that there is a constitutional right
to bear arms in self defense in any capacity. But
she has to twenty four to seven armed security that's
highly trained and has federal law enforcement power. So you
(02:05):
know that's interesting, isn't it. We shall discuss that a
little later on in the program. But the big one today, well,
there's really two. It's funny. I think the I don't know, Clay,
you can tell me which one you find more interesting.
I lean in the direction of the Stephanopolis saying the
obvious part, not even the quiet part out loud, is
(02:27):
really interesting. He thinks that Biden cancer four more years. Also,
George Clooney has said that Biden should step aside in
a guest essay at The New York Times, because when
I'm thinking of somebody who has tremendous wisdom and judgment
about life, I think those actors who haven't done anything
worth seeing in like fifteen years. But let's I want
(02:49):
to start with Stephanopolis. Clooney just had a big fundraiser,
and so some people I think are saying that's a
bigger one. I think the Stephanopolis situation is are you
so let me ask you No.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I just want to ask you right off that we
have the audio, because I think we can play it,
but it's kind of harmful.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh wait, they're both George. It's a tale of two George's.
I didn't even realize that.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yes, But I want to get your ciaa take on this,
because you were asking me this off air, and now
you've got me wondering if I just took it too
much at face value? Do we have this Stepanopolis audio
to play here? It is for those of you who
did not hear it. He's walking on the street New
York City. Somebody comes up to him and this is
what it sounded like.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What do you think do you think Biden should set down.
You talked to him more than anybody else have lately,
and you could be honest, you don't think you can
start four more angers? All right, that's an answer.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, Okay, Now Stefanopolis Clay has already apologized for this,
which is just hilarious because it goes to they still
have this thing like there's this high priesthood of the
journals who don't really have opinions. I mean, if anything,
he's he's offering an opinion in a private context. And
as far as i've he's.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
A Democrat operative in the Clinton white House. He helped
smear the Bill Clinton accusers. Like this is I don't
even know what to say. The idea that this guy's
a journalist is absurd. Oh, he's like evil Frodo Beggins.
And you know, I'm just saying, he's not very tall.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
And yet here we are being told that he has
to apologize or that he feels need to apologize. If
you couldn't really make out what he said, he said
to this guy on the street in Manhattan on surreptitiously
recorded video. I don't think he can serve four more years, Clay,
four more years, I don't think Biden can serve four
(04:36):
more months. But we're even having this conversation like this
is a problem, this is insane.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
One just to go back in time for George Stephanopolis,
if you wonder how being a political guru can take
you into OutKick the coverage terrain? Didn't he date Jennifer
Gray soon after she was a superstar in Dirty Dancing?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Am I crazy for this? I think he married a
pretty blond actress. I think I think he doesn't surprise
me at all.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But I mean in nineteen ninety two for him to
be dating so the staff can look this up, he
was not willing to put baby in the corner. I
think he got to date Jennifer Gray, which would have
been an incredible accomplishment because that was just a couple
of years after Dance the.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Movie came out. All right, Clay, focus, the Republic is
at stake?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
George, Now, what question you asked before we came on
the air? Is I think more interesting here? So, first
of all, it sounded like that got stepped on, like
he initially asked can he be president? And it sounded
like Stephanopolos was going to answer that and maybe say
no right now, which would actually be I think a
(05:48):
far bigger story and one that we should be talking about,
which is whether Biden has the capacity to be president
not for four more years, but for six more months.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Did you want to fire it again? Now that we've
talked about a little bit, so let's just play it
one more time? Seven can hear? This is the secret
video of Stephanopolis? What do you think?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Do you think Biden should step down? You talk to
him more than anybody else have lately, and you could
be honest, you don't think he can start four more
as all right?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You see you see the way I'm saying that, Like
he asked first, do you think he should step down?
And it sounded like Stephanopolis was going to start to
answer that, which would have been I think a far
bigger story. I think he benefited by just saying he
can't serve four more years? Which what do you think
ninety percent of Americans believe?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What? What's crazy to me? I mean, there's a lot
that's crazy to me. Right. This is we are entering
just to ever understands American politics, which has reverberations around
the world and for the history of our of our species.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, this is a big deal. It has entered crazy town.
This is crazy town stuff. This is the Emperor.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Joe Biden is uh not prancing around naked because he
can't prance, but you know he's he's he's slowly doddering
down the street without any clothes on, and we're being told,
oh no, he's got clothes on, Like this is the
most obvious. This is the this is the story, the
fairy tale, the parable of the Emperor's new clothes made real.
(07:14):
And Stephanopoulos is saying something I think so interesting because
four more years, Clay to me, the whole game here
is can they just get everyone to vote Biden? Yeah,
so that they can have a Democrat in power? The
notion of Biden doing like the the The argument right
now for people with functioning brains is, Kennon, should Biden
(07:37):
stay in between now and November or you know, January? Yes,
just because and then they'll have Kamala takeover. But there
are people did you see on CNN former Republican Jonah
Goldberg got in an argument with betting Field or I
think betting I think that's her name. She was a
former Obama spokesperson, and she said, do we have I
(07:58):
think we have this too, saying it's four more years
that he could that that Biden has four more full
years in him. Do you guys have this way? I'm
going out of order here. I sorry, but cut three.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Democrats say this election is about democracy in the future
of the country, and then he says, well, if I lose,
I give him my best shot. Who cares. That is
a terrible answer. He was clearly prepped and he still gave.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
A terrible hand, saying the last three years mean nothing
to you when you have a president who has gotten
more done in a bipartisan way than anybody thought was possible,
has gotten meaningful gun legislation done, has gotten infrastructure build.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
If you had a heart attack, you want to say, well,
he did the last three matter?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
That's That's like saying it doesn't so it doesn't matter
his president because it doesn't matter what happens when this
person's in office. That's saying that only the campaign is
the only thing that matters. I don't think that's true.
I don't think that's true. That's it. Then it depends
campaigns are about the future, and that's fine. I'm just
saying saying the last three and a half years don't
matter at all, don't.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Matter all about him whether or not he can do
the job the next next four and a half years. No,
you honestly think he can serve four and a half
more years.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I do.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I think that's lunatic. I really do. I think it's lunatic.
Can I just give okay, let me give Joonah Goldberg credit. Okay.
I don't agree to god everything he says, but it
is lunatic stuff. Okay, But this is the thing, Clay.
To get to November, they have to be willing to
say that that he can get four more years. They
(09:24):
have to be even crazier. It's not just the lie
about he's okay for now, they have to say he's
okay till twenty twenty eight. Yeah. No, that's bonkers.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
You asked the question on the Stephanopolis video, and he
did date Jennifer Gray dirty dancing. I mean, that is
an amazing pull back in ninety two. But you asked
the question was this a setup? Did he want this
to be out there? And then sometimes you get set
up and you come back and you're like, oh, I'm sorry,
regret that that got out.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I think this was just a random on the street encounter,
and I think he was trying to be nice. But
now you got me things thinking, it's really kind of
weird that they just randomly found Stephanopolis and his gym
clothes on a random street corner asking him about Biden.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Like, it is strange the whole thing right after this
interview too. And and if he's gonna have any weirdness
about offering an opinion to a rando on the street,
George Deefanopolis hasn't been in the game long enough to
understand this. I mean, it's just the whole thing is
it is very stri I didn't think about it. I
took it at because he didn't say anything that controversial
to me. But the fact that this video existed, it
(10:31):
does feel strange. It feels a little bit like it's
a plant. It feels a little bit like this must
agree something. Yeah, And and and here's the thing. You know,
you're you're you're Stephanopoulos. I think you want to get
on the record. I think that there are a lot
of people who want to create the record now of
we told you so, and then they're gonna fall online.
But they'll at least have this uh, you know, at
(10:53):
least have this in a position where they can later
on say that we tried to warn you about this situation.
But yeah, I mean, Clay, if you or I were
recorded walking down the street, we'd be like, oh, okay, yeah.
I mean if someone asks us a political question to
be like yeah, we'd answer and we'd say what we
always say. And then if the notion that we have
to apologize for. It's just so funny that these people
(11:14):
live in this, like the legacy journal media thinks that
they're not allowed, like they don't do opinion stuff, like
they don't have opinions.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It's just well, it also felt feels to me now
that I think about it, like Stephanopol has felt like
he was getting too much criticism for not pushing back
hard enough against Biden, and so he's trying to stay
in good graces. And then he can say it, and
then he can come out and say, hey, I wish
this hadn't you know, gotten out, And so he kind
of gets to eat his cake and have it too right.
(11:46):
I mean, he gets both sides of the equation covered
because he gets to do the holy er than now.
But you really know what he thinks.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
And this is why I think, actually, as much as
I do make constant jokes about it, because it is
hilarious and it is living in an alternate universe. Morning
Joe is such an important touchtone daily political experience for
Democrats because so much of the Democrat identity is sitting
(12:12):
at the cool kids table. It's certainly in the media
and we're talking about we're talking about George Clooney here
in a second. But and and also for the people
that cover politics, they want to have access and they
want to be, like I said, they want to be
at the cool kids table for the next administration. And
the problem they have right now is they don't know
who's going to be the head of that table, and
(12:32):
so they're trying to establish, you know, a little bit
of bona fidez here, a little bit of bona fidez
that they're trying to leave these crumbs so that no
matter what happens, if Biden loses, they can say I
told you he was going to lose. If he wins,
they can say I rallied behind him. If he gets replaced,
they could you know, that's part of the dissidence is
that there's no ethics involved. In this the voices the
(12:52):
people that you are hearing want to exactly what Clay said,
have their cake and eat it too with whatever comes
out of this election. And because proximity to power is
the single most important thing, you know, whether it's Biden
or Kammelo or somebody else or whatever, they just want
to make sure that you know they're at the party
(13:13):
with all the photographers in the Hamptons next summer. That's
what this really is. And George Defanopolis certainly falls into
that category. Okay, so that's one George.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
We're gonna come back and talk in a little bit
because I do think the significance George Clooney and Julia
Roberts and Katzenberg, whoever it was, just threw a monster
fundraiser for Joe Biden. It probably got the most attention
because Obama had to help Joe Biden off.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
The stage at the end of it.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Clooney says in this editorial, which I read so you
don't have to, as soon as it went up on
the New York Times page, says that the Biden he
saw at the fundraiser is the exact same Biden that
was on the stage debating against Trump. I think that's
significant because what they're trying to do is say, oh,
that was just a bad night. Now you're starting to
(14:02):
see other people push back and say, actually, no, this
is a representative sample of what Biden is often like.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
We'll talk about that. What does it mean.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Is it possible that any of this pressure is going
to have any impact at all on Biden and whether
he runs.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
We'll talk about all that and more.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But in the meantime, some are supposed to be a
time for relaxing getaways, not identity theft. If you're looking away,
look at it getting away this summer. As I know
many of you are be on the lookout for travel scams.
You'll be amazed how many credit card readers have malware
that read your credit card and forward that information to
clever cyber hackers. You won't know what even happened. Classic
case of online identity theft just one of about one
(14:41):
hundred ways your vacation can get ruined. It's important to
understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.

Saving America one thought at a time. Clay, Travis and
buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. I appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. We're going to
talk about this year coming up in a moment, because
I do think it's the double barrel attempt to continue
to fire at Biden we talked about yesterday. And I
hate to admit it that I'm looking at real estate
on Buck Island because I don't know that there's any
(16:01):
major lever other than tru Sorry, other than Obama or Clinton,
Bill Clinton. That could really move things in the Democrat Party.
But they're still trying. At the New York Times when
they're trotting out people like George Clooney the day after
their second you must step down editorial, Just what do
they have left in the proverbial quiver that they can
(16:23):
pull out and say we've got something on you. We're
coming for you if you don't step down. I'm not
sure what that what the goods are so to speak?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, I mean speaking of things in the quiver. You know,
there's a steakhouse here in Miami where they have all
of the all of these servers at once come out
and they present a steak to you in like this ornate,
golden crusted briefcase. Clin what is that cost there? We know?
I think I think it might be like five hundred
or one thousand dollars. I have to check. But but
(16:54):
they dance and they open and close the briefcase. It
is called poppy steak, and I am thinking, I'm thinking
that this may be worthy of the place for the bet.
There's there's smoke. It's a bit of a it's a
bit of a show. And they present you with some
kind of a wag gear. They're dancers or they're dancing guys. No, No,
I'd rather have the dancing girls.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I mean, if I'm gonna be paying a thousand dollars
for a steak, I might as well be having the
dancing girls. But at least it's Miami. At least it's Miami.
You could have been like, I'm thinking and inevitably I'm
gonna fin people. I'm thinking about Gary, Indiana. You know,
February fourth, we're losing.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Gary Indiana has some fine steakhouses, sir, we don't.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
We're probably number one in Gary, Indiana, and they just
are drawing, driving off the road like crazy. Right now,
if I have to go to South Florida in the winter,
even if it's dancing men, although I might request that
Poppy bring out some dancing girls. If I'm gonna have
to pay a thousand dollars for a steak, at least
it'll be nice weather. You know, we're constantly bombarded with
(17:55):
ads from credit card companies, but how often do you
hear about one dedicated to advancing conservative causes. Well, there
finally is on and it is called coin spelled with
a G co. I g N coin is back by Visa,
created to be a credit card you can rely on
that is in line with your conservative values. They do
(18:16):
this by donating a portion of every purchase to conservative causes.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
We've both signed up. I got mine in time to
use it next week in Milwaukee when we're at the
R and C convention. Here it is. Don't worry, I'm
not holding up my number. But for those in the
lives you can see it says we the people, as
in like the Constitution in the front of my card.
It's awesome. You carry this card. People know you love America,
freedom in the Constitution, and a portion of everything you
purchase goes to conservative causes. You also got one percent
(18:43):
cash back rewards. Go to coin dot com now for

We talked just a few moments ago about George Stephan Appubulis,
who is caught on a video audio by TMZ. Jim's
(19:06):
a little weird. He's walking around. They just happen to
find the guy who just happened to do the in
depth interview with Joe Biden a few days ago to say, Hey,
what do you think he's like?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I don't think he's got four more years. I think
it's hilarious, dude, No one thinks he has four more years.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And I mean, I don't think. I'm not convinced that
Joe Biden will have power of speech in two years. Okay,
I'll say that. I don't say it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I hate to say it, but I think that's very
fair position. I don't think he will be able to
make words in about two years, okay, based on the
deterioration speed that we have seen. I'm not a doctor,
but I think anybody with a functioning brain would see
that and say that that this. And yet, as we know,
not only is it Biden has to stay in now,
(19:50):
or at least that's what looks like it's happening. Biden's
staying in means that people around him have to be
willing to publicly say we think he can do four
more years, even though I think every single one of
them knows there is no chance Joe Biden finishes out
by choice or not by choice.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
There is no chance he would make it to twenty
twenty eight as President of the United States. Okay, we
are in an absurd situation with all of this, and
yet it's a situation that has been a long time
building up, and they have no one to blame but themselves.
So Stephanoppinopolis whatever, George you Oh that George Stephanopolis, He says,
(20:32):
one to spell. Yes, he says, I believe if you
if you're a Greek and your last name ends in
the in the Ulos suffix, that means you come from
the Peloponnese. Is that right. We've got Greek listeners, they'll
tell me this. So that's why. And anybody whose name
ends in Ulos, you don't need to know this anyway.
Back to George Clooney, Mister George Clooney, very famous for
(20:56):
the movies he has been over the years.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I'm gonna say something too. I think he's kind of overrated.
You're probably a big Clooney guy, but I think he's
kind of overrated. If I have to pick, i'd go
Brad Pitt. Better body of work. I even think a
better actor. So Clay and Buck fighting over to man,
I'm just going the Brad Pitt. When Brad Pitt super accomplished.
I mean, I thought you were going to say like
someone who was less accomplished would be more challenging. But
(21:20):
I would agree with you on Brad. I think Brad
Pitt's one of the five most successful actors of his generation.
And again depending on defining generation, but Brad Pitt is
really really good. Another guy, like we talked about yesterday,
Tom Cruise Denzel tends to be Brad Pitt. They just
don't make very many bad movies. There are some, I
know because you guys are gonna blow me up with them,
but in general, those guys have pretty good choices in
(21:41):
terms of the movies they make. Clooney's made a bunch
of clunkers. Yeah, he's really so.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I think in Pitt v. Clooney, I think that Pitt
is the better actor. And they were weren't there both in
Ocean's Eleven? Or anyway? The point here about the politics.
I did enjoy Ocean's Eleven. I'll say I didn't see
the name. Ocean's Eleven is a good film.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
If I have to the best Brad Pitt movie seven, Wow,
it's seven. I mean it's dark, but seven is an
incredible movie. I think the best Brad Pitt movie is seven.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
For me. I'd have to say I probably go Troy
because I like all that historical epic stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That's super homo erotic, like again, settled down. I don't
want to cast dispersions on Achilles, and as Seinfeld said,
not that there's anything wrong with it, but I think
Brad Pitt's Achilles is super gay in in Troy.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, Clay, I don't know if you know, but the
ancient Greeks they did they were a little bit different,
the original different over the family show, the male you know,
they did things a little different. You know, they had
the Olympics naked. They had a lot of things going
on naked. Anyway, that was a long time ago, you know,
a couple of thousand years. Wrestling tough to do and
not be gay.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I would just suggest, I would just suggest this is
like if you get get athletes, you get athletes, and
you want to get them really laughing.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
This is true, This is this is true for all
of you.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
The toughest thing for an athlete to do, pro athlete,
college athlete, full grown men, shower fights, Guys on teams
get in fights all the it happens all the time
every league, they get in fights, and people who cover
in the media have seen them shower fights. How do
you break up a shower fight? Guys are like on
(23:29):
a football field, We'll break it up on a basketball court.
Two guys are slipping, sliding around, fully naked, throwing haymakers
at each other. One of them has to get knocked
out before the fight ends. Nobody wants to break it up.
Lessons from Clay from.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
The World of Sports for all of you. I'm gonna
take us back to the presidential contest now everybody. So
I was gonna say the best clooning movie, I can't
even think of what the best clooning movie'd be. Probably
Ocean's eleven, so we have because his batman was not good.
George Clooney, who is if you look looking for the
quintessential democrat, elitist Hollywood celebrity, he's certainly in the conversation.
(24:07):
You know, he's incredibly wealthy, He's got the wife who
does all the international cause stuff. And you know Clooney is,
you know, like private jets, show up at Davo, show
up at the climate change conference, kind of a guy.
And he's written in The New York times that they
need a new nominee. The headline here is George Clooney,
(24:28):
I love Biden, but we do need a new nominee.
And he says all these nice things about him, and
you know, here's the first reaction that I have to this,
Clay all of this, this is the unspoken part of it, right,
But let me just also say, Joe Biden does not
(24:48):
give a bleep about what George Clooney says are right, So, okay,
could care. George Clooney just raised thirty million dollars for
him in a Hollywood fundraiser recently, three weeks ago, three
weeks ago. So this is what I keep saying. These people,
oh George, you know, or a Joe has to step down,
they're raising money for Joe. Handover fist. Okay, the part
(25:09):
of this, I don't know what your biggest reaction, initial
reaction this And by the way, the op ed, it's
very it's Joe is great, but we have a great
bench and it's time for people to step up. But
nobody can outrun Father Time. And you know whatever, it's
the very like nothing interesting. The fact that Kamala Harris
is not just the assumed air in all these pieces
(25:33):
is such a slap in the face. She's the vice president.
The current president has dementia. She should be the one.
The problem here is that they can't even get unity
in the party on that move because Kamala is such
a disaster.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
You and I have said this on this program. Trump
said it yesterday at his rally in South Florida. He said,
give bidenit. The one thing he did was pick the
only person more incompetent than him to be as vice president.
So they're not trying to elevate her. To me, the
clooney takeaway that is most important here is is this
(26:13):
couple of sentences. It's devastating to say it, but the
Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the
fundraiser was not the Joe big efing deal Biden of
twenty ten. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of twenty twenty.
He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So all these arguments what the Biden people have been trying.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
To say, and I know you went back to this,
but yeah, they try to say bad night. Now they're
coming out and saying, actually, you know what, that's who
he is and his ties in because he's losing. That's
why they're doing it. It's not about the debate, it's
that they are losing.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
If he were. That's a huge to all. Shut up,
that's that's a huge takeaways. This is when This is
why I've said along that they would vote for him
if he came out with a blanket over his knees.
The only reason you're seeing this make believe surge of
honesty from Democrats about Biden is that all the polls
show him getting absolutely destroyed right now. I mean the
polls right now are in landslide territory right Just to
(27:19):
be clear, what happened in twenty twenty two is in
a lot of close races, the Republicans were ahead. They
weren't ahead by massive, massive numbers, but they were ahead.
But Democrats closed the gap, and sure enough we didn't
get the votes where we needed them how we needed them.
This is different. This is a presidential poll or presidential
polling consistent for months, the trend only going in one direction,
(27:44):
all saying the same thing, all with the same key takeaway,
and that right now, from an electoral college standpoint, it
would be one of the biggest ass kickings we have
seen in a long time in a presidential election. That's
why George Clooney is writing this. That's why all this
is happening. That's that's the funny part about this too,
is they're like, I have to speak truth to power now.
(28:05):
It's like, no, you're just desperate because your guy is
about to get just waxed, gonna get at what.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's what the underlying story is here. That's why all
of this is happening. Laura Travis, by the way, has
weight in. She says Brad Pitt's best movie by far
as fight Club. So for some of you, that was
my second choice. To be fair, that was my number.
I was gonna go number two on that one.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
But that's fair. She's wrong. I mean it's seven, but
but I wanted to that is that is.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
A very dark movie. I mean, it's sad, but it's
an incredible film.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I mean, it's good, but it's like a horror movie.
I don't know, I can't get I'd take definitely fight
Club over seven. Fight Club is not exactly a super
lighthearted movie either. It's pretty dark. Yeah, but there's a
message to it, you know what I mean? There's a
message to it, you know, office space.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
No one talks about fight club, Ali says, snatch, she's
just off the reservation.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I mean, come on, I mean, come on.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
If you want to step up, Lebron and Jordan and
Aally just came in with John Stockton. Got to keep
John Stockton in mind. I mean, come on, let's get
John his due respect. Okay, a great player in his day,
He's the greatest baseball player of all time. I think
you really have to think about Kim kammanatty. I think
(29:27):
that's a if you're a Houston person, you're gonna be
laughing about that. Sorry, maybe Kim Cameranaddy's driving along, He's like, man,
what happened there? It's Babe Ruth, It's Willie Mays, Kim Kvianet.
I mean, come on, fight club. It's definitely seven. But
that's at least an argument.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Legends of the Fall was a good movie for what
it was accept except Brad Pitt did not age at all,
and everyone else turned into like a senior citizen in
that movie. Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
He also married the eight year old girl from that movie,
which is kind of a little bit creepy. Remember is
that obviously had grown up? But yes, he didn't marry
or when she was eight. But I think it's like,
you know, that's that Jeopardy skit they do where it's
like meet your second wife, and have you seen that's
actually really funny. I have seen that. That's a Saturday
at Live skit. Sorry, it's like meet your second wife. Anyway,
(30:15):
it's a really funny skit. I think, like for the
women out there that are watching you, Like Brad Pitt's
like twenty five or thirty and there's this like eight
year old girl and then he ends up with her.
It's kind of like, I don't know that that's the
love story. I would want to, you know, kind of
focus on.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Also, every girl about my age, for some reason, loves, uh,
Meet Joe Black. This is very They love the Meet
Joe Black movie. I've heard seen it.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, I've seen it. I think I think it's a
it's not in the in the running.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
No, it's not the running. I'm just saying this is
another another no.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I think you're right. I think a lot of women
love Meet Joe Black. I was gonna say, isn't clue
isn't Brad Pitt. Also, when A River Runs through it?
Now he's not the star like this was before he
was a superstar. I think he's the he's the supporting Uh,
he's the brother, the other brother. Yes, my dad loves
fly fishing, so I had to sit through that movie
a lot. I actually think that's a really good movie.
(31:07):
Norman McLean novel A River Runs through It that it
was based on, also incredibly well done. I mean, if
you like watching guys in beautiful rivers in Montana fly fishing,
you will like that movie. If that does not excite you,
you probably should watch Snatch and hang out on Team Alley.
On that one, I will say, Brad Pitt and Moneyball
is really good, but you have to be a sports fan.
I don't know that you would like Moneyball if you're
(31:29):
not a sports fan. When he plays the.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Billy and he has a pretty he's got a pretty
minor part in that movie, I don't think that's not
a Brad would say is better? Oh I'm sorry. No,
he has a big one of Moneyball. I was thinking
of the big short. He has a smaller one of
the big short money Ball.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
He's very Yeah, Moneyball is good. I mean, Brad Pitt
is very good in it, and he does play Billy
Bean very well. But I think Jonah Hill is actually
kind of the steeler here Jordan George Creeny writes this
this op ed just to bring this back for a
second here and always like this is the thing.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I all. I care about what these people are, the
movies that they make. I don't care about their political opinions.
I don't think they are wise. I don't think they
are smart. It's hilarious to me that The New York
Times is like, you know what we're gonna do. We're
gonna leverage the political power of George Clooney in this
will I will say buck.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
The New York Times is running a takedown Biden campaign
right now. Like I think they have someone basically in
a war room saying, Okay, we're gonna drop the second
editorial on Monday. On Tuesday, we're gonna have the Clooney editorial.
This is why I keep asking what arrows are left
in the quiver? How far are they willing to go
(32:40):
to try and take down I mean, I think Joe Biden.
I think they took their shot in the nest, and
I think Biden knows it. I again, this is why
Buck Island real estate is increasing in value right now.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We're deluged
with a lot of you went away in and everything
from what should Biden do? To what's the best Brad
Pitt movie. We'll take some of your calls eight hundred
and two eight two two eight eight two, But I
just want to point out that as I sit here
drinking my delectable Crocket Coffee, which all of you should
be drinking as well from Crocketcoffee dot com. If you
(34:31):
love America, you should be enjoying a company that actually
respects you and believes that America is a great place
to live. Odds have just shot up on Joe Biden
potentially dropping out, as there are rumors afoot that many
(34:53):
prominent senators and House members may be about to come
out and that he has to step down. So I
want all of you to keep that in mind at
any moment. This is where everything is just going crazy,
and never have any idea and John and kill Devil Hills.
(35:13):
You're saying, don't buy Buck Island real estate?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Right now? John, what do you think I used to
work up there?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I gave it up in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
It's a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Oh you're talking about the physical reality of Buck Island
in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I was like, I was like, whoa buddy, I don't
remember hiring you. What's going on here?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Sorry, that's what you're saying, right John, Like, there literally
is for people who don't know, we've been talking about
Buck Island where the Biden flag continues to fly strong.
There is actually a Buck Island in North Carolina. And
you're saying it's actually not a good place to live.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Well, it is once you get there. Is it high
end Carolina? Is it high end? Is it expensive real estate? Yeah?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, getting any cheaper?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
But and I know the guy who's developed and he
his first name is Buck, but it's not second. He
named the island after himself. Now that is a that
is a strong play. Is there a Clay Island? Does
that exist anywhere? I feel like it's not going to
be a fancy of real estate.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, I don't know. I would like to have one.
I don't think you'd want to be on an island
made of clay. Erosion would be a problem.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Oh you think that that's actually a negative when it
comes to the park. I would think clay would be
stabilizing supported living on dust island.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
You don't live on dust island. There's a lot of
water around you dust island.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
But as we go to break by the way, you see,
the New York Times had the big story about all
the islands that we're supposed to disappear because of climate
change that have actually grown.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I love over the weekend. Yeah,
Welcome everybody. It is Clay time, it is Buck time.
It is the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Getting
ready to dive into it all with you. Thanks for
being with us. Oh my, another day. More stories coming in.
The pressure on Joe Biden continues, although I think it's
getting to be more pathetic and less ominous for Biden's future,
(00:23):
although we shall see that all turn on a dime.
You will dive into all of that here momentarily, so
looking forward to breaking that down for you for sure.
We've also got Trump in Miami yesterday. He gave a
rally and had some very interesting things to say, so
(00:44):
we will make sense of all of that. The Miami
rally also Axios with a story according to Trump advisors,
the swing state rankings of hardest and easiest win. Did
you see this play this.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Week and it's surprised that it's I would switched one
in two.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah. I think that Wisconsin is their most challenging. But
they said something else, so we will dive into some
of that. Maggie Haberman weighs in on the Trump reaction
the Trump team reaction to the calls for the Biden campaigns,
saying they're staying or Biden's not going. Also Supreme Court justice,
(01:22):
so to my oars bodyguards. I believe the US marshals
shot a would be a carjacker yesterday. And this is
interesting one just because it shows you in DC, even
our Supreme Court justices have to be worried about getting
their cars robbed or getting carjacked. Also sort of my
(01:43):
ore as you no doubt, No is very opposed to
anyone being able to bear arms to defend themselves, does
not believe, explicitly rejects that there is a constitutional right
to bear arms in self defense in any capacity. But
she has to twenty four to seven armed security that's
highly trained and has federal law enforcement power. So you
(02:05):
know that's interesting, isn't it. We shall discuss that a
little later on in the program. But the big one today, well,
there's really two. It's funny. I think the I don't know, Clay,
you can tell me which one you find more interesting.
I lean in the direction of the Stephanopolis saying the
obvious part, not even the quiet part out loud, is
(02:27):
really interesting. He thinks that Biden cancer four more years. Also,
George Clooney has said that Biden should step aside in
a guest essay at The New York Times, because when
I'm thinking of somebody who has tremendous wisdom and judgment
about life, I think those actors who haven't done anything
worth seeing in like fifteen years. But let's I want
(02:49):
to start with Stephanopolis. Clooney just had a big fundraiser,
and so some people I think are saying that's a
bigger one. I think the Stephanopolis situation is are you
so let me ask you No.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I just want to ask you right off that we
have the audio, because I think we can play it,
but it's kind of harmful.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh wait, they're both George. It's a tale of two George's.
I didn't even realize that.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yes, But I want to get your ciaa take on this,
because you were asking me this off air, and now
you've got me wondering if I just took it too
much at face value? Do we have this Stepanopolis audio
to play here? It is for those of you who
did not hear it. He's walking on the street New
York City. Somebody comes up to him and this is
what it sounded like.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What do you think do you think Biden should set down.
You talked to him more than anybody else have lately,
and you could be honest, you don't think you can
start four more angers? All right, that's an answer.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, Okay, Now Stefanopolis Clay has already apologized for this,
which is just hilarious because it goes to they still
have this thing like there's this high priesthood of the
journals who don't really have opinions. I mean, if anything,
he's he's offering an opinion in a private context. And
as far as i've he's.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
A Democrat operative in the Clinton white House. He helped
smear the Bill Clinton accusers. Like this is I don't
even know what to say. The idea that this guy's
a journalist is absurd. Oh, he's like evil Frodo Beggins.
And you know, I'm just saying, he's not very tall.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
And yet here we are being told that he has
to apologize or that he feels need to apologize. If
you couldn't really make out what he said, he said
to this guy on the street in Manhattan on surreptitiously
recorded video. I don't think he can serve four more years, Clay,
four more years, I don't think Biden can serve four
(04:36):
more months. But we're even having this conversation like this
is a problem, this is insane.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
One just to go back in time for George Stephanopolis,
if you wonder how being a political guru can take
you into OutKick the coverage terrain? Didn't he date Jennifer
Gray soon after she was a superstar in Dirty Dancing?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Am I crazy for this? I think he married a
pretty blond actress. I think I think he doesn't surprise
me at all.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But I mean in nineteen ninety two for him to
be dating so the staff can look this up, he
was not willing to put baby in the corner. I
think he got to date Jennifer Gray, which would have
been an incredible accomplishment because that was just a couple
of years after Dance the.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Movie came out. All right, Clay, focus, the Republic is
at stake?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
George, Now, what question you asked before we came on
the air? Is I think more interesting here? So, first
of all, it sounded like that got stepped on, like
he initially asked can he be president? And it sounded
like Stephanopolos was going to answer that and maybe say
no right now, which would actually be I think a
(05:48):
far bigger story and one that we should be talking about,
which is whether Biden has the capacity to be president
not for four more years, but for six more months.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Did you want to fire it again? Now that we've
talked about a little bit, so let's just play it
one more time? Seven can hear? This is the secret
video of Stephanopolis? What do you think?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Do you think Biden should step down? You talk to
him more than anybody else have lately, and you could
be honest, you don't think he can start four more
as all right?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You see you see the way I'm saying that, Like
he asked first, do you think he should step down?
And it sounded like Stephanopolis was going to start to
answer that, which would have been I think a far
bigger story. I think he benefited by just saying he
can't serve four more years? Which what do you think
ninety percent of Americans believe?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What? What's crazy to me? I mean, there's a lot
that's crazy to me. Right. This is we are entering
just to ever understands American politics, which has reverberations around
the world and for the history of our of our species.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, this is a big deal. It has entered crazy town.
This is crazy town stuff. This is the Emperor.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Joe Biden is uh not prancing around naked because he
can't prance, but you know he's he's he's slowly doddering
down the street without any clothes on, and we're being told,
oh no, he's got clothes on, Like this is the
most obvious. This is the this is the story, the
fairy tale, the parable of the Emperor's new clothes made real.
(07:14):
And Stephanopoulos is saying something I think so interesting because
four more years, Clay to me, the whole game here
is can they just get everyone to vote Biden? Yeah,
so that they can have a Democrat in power? The
notion of Biden doing like the the The argument right
now for people with functioning brains is, Kennon, should Biden
(07:37):
stay in between now and November or you know, January? Yes,
just because and then they'll have Kamala takeover. But there
are people did you see on CNN former Republican Jonah
Goldberg got in an argument with betting Field or I
think betting I think that's her name. She was a
former Obama spokesperson, and she said, do we have I
(07:58):
think we have this too, saying it's four more years
that he could that that Biden has four more full
years in him. Do you guys have this way? I'm
going out of order here. I sorry, but cut three.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Democrats say this election is about democracy in the future
of the country, and then he says, well, if I lose,
I give him my best shot. Who cares. That is
a terrible answer. He was clearly prepped and he still gave.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
A terrible hand, saying the last three years mean nothing
to you when you have a president who has gotten
more done in a bipartisan way than anybody thought was possible,
has gotten meaningful gun legislation done, has gotten infrastructure build.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
If you had a heart attack, you want to say, well,
he did the last three matter?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
That's That's like saying it doesn't so it doesn't matter
his president because it doesn't matter what happens when this
person's in office. That's saying that only the campaign is
the only thing that matters. I don't think that's true.
I don't think that's true. That's it. Then it depends
campaigns are about the future, and that's fine. I'm just
saying saying the last three and a half years don't
matter at all, don't.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Matter all about him whether or not he can do
the job the next next four and a half years. No,
you honestly think he can serve four and a half
more years.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I do.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I think that's lunatic. I really do. I think it's lunatic.
Can I just give okay, let me give Joonah Goldberg credit. Okay.
I don't agree to god everything he says, but it
is lunatic stuff. Okay, But this is the thing, Clay.
To get to November, they have to be willing to
say that that he can get four more years. They
(09:24):
have to be even crazier. It's not just the lie
about he's okay for now, they have to say he's
okay till twenty twenty eight. Yeah. No, that's bonkers.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
You asked the question on the Stephanopolis video, and he
did date Jennifer Gray dirty dancing. I mean, that is
an amazing pull back in ninety two. But you asked
the question was this a setup? Did he want this
to be out there? And then sometimes you get set
up and you come back and you're like, oh, I'm sorry,
regret that that got out.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I think this was just a random on the street encounter,
and I think he was trying to be nice. But
now you got me things thinking, it's really kind of
weird that they just randomly found Stephanopolis and his gym
clothes on a random street corner asking him about Biden.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Like, it is strange the whole thing right after this
interview too. And and if he's gonna have any weirdness
about offering an opinion to a rando on the street,
George Deefanopolis hasn't been in the game long enough to
understand this. I mean, it's just the whole thing is
it is very stri I didn't think about it. I
took it at because he didn't say anything that controversial
to me. But the fact that this video existed, it
(10:31):
does feel strange. It feels a little bit like it's
a plant. It feels a little bit like this must
agree something. Yeah, And and and here's the thing. You know,
you're you're you're Stephanopoulos. I think you want to get
on the record. I think that there are a lot
of people who want to create the record now of
we told you so, and then they're gonna fall online.
But they'll at least have this uh, you know, at
(10:53):
least have this in a position where they can later
on say that we tried to warn you about this situation.
But yeah, I mean, Clay, if you or I were
recorded walking down the street, we'd be like, oh, okay, yeah.
I mean if someone asks us a political question to
be like yeah, we'd answer and we'd say what we
always say. And then if the notion that we have
to apologize for. It's just so funny that these people
(11:14):
live in this, like the legacy journal media thinks that
they're not allowed, like they don't do opinion stuff, like
they don't have opinions.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It's just well, it also felt feels to me now
that I think about it, like Stephanopol has felt like
he was getting too much criticism for not pushing back
hard enough against Biden, and so he's trying to stay
in good graces. And then he can say it, and
then he can come out and say, hey, I wish
this hadn't you know, gotten out, And so he kind
of gets to eat his cake and have it too right.
(11:46):
I mean, he gets both sides of the equation covered
because he gets to do the holy er than now.
But you really know what he thinks.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
And this is why I think, actually, as much as
I do make constant jokes about it, because it is
hilarious and it is living in an alternate universe. Morning
Joe is such an important touchtone daily political experience for
Democrats because so much of the Democrat identity is sitting
(12:12):
at the cool kids table. It's certainly in the media
and we're talking about we're talking about George Clooney here
in a second. But and and also for the people
that cover politics, they want to have access and they
want to be, like I said, they want to be
at the cool kids table for the next administration. And
the problem they have right now is they don't know
who's going to be the head of that table, and
(12:32):
so they're trying to establish, you know, a little bit
of bona fidez here, a little bit of bona fidez
that they're trying to leave these crumbs so that no
matter what happens, if Biden loses, they can say I
told you he was going to lose. If he wins,
they can say I rallied behind him. If he gets replaced,
they could you know, that's part of the dissidence is
that there's no ethics involved. In this the voices the
(12:52):
people that you are hearing want to exactly what Clay said,
have their cake and eat it too with whatever comes
out of this election. And because proximity to power is
the single most important thing, you know, whether it's Biden
or Kammelo or somebody else or whatever, they just want
to make sure that you know they're at the party
(13:13):
with all the photographers in the Hamptons next summer. That's
what this really is. And George Defanopolis certainly falls into
that category. Okay, so that's one George.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
We're gonna come back and talk in a little bit
because I do think the significance George Clooney and Julia
Roberts and Katzenberg, whoever it was, just threw a monster
fundraiser for Joe Biden. It probably got the most attention
because Obama had to help Joe Biden off.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
The stage at the end of it.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Clooney says in this editorial, which I read so you
don't have to, as soon as it went up on
the New York Times page, says that the Biden he
saw at the fundraiser is the exact same Biden that
was on the stage debating against Trump. I think that's
significant because what they're trying to do is say, oh,
that was just a bad night. Now you're starting to
(14:02):
see other people push back and say, actually, no, this
is a representative sample of what Biden is often like.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
We'll talk about that. What does it mean.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Is it possible that any of this pressure is going
to have any impact at all on Biden and whether
he runs.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
We'll talk about all that and more.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But in the meantime, some are supposed to be a
time for relaxing getaways, not identity theft. If you're looking away,
look at it getting away this summer. As I know
many of you are be on the lookout for travel scams.

Saving America one thought at a time. Clay, Travis and
buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. I appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. We're going to
talk about this year coming up in a moment, because
I do think it's the double barrel attempt to continue
to fire at Biden we talked about yesterday. And I
hate to admit it that I'm looking at real estate
on Buck Island because I don't know that there's any
(16:01):
major lever other than tru Sorry, other than Obama or Clinton,
Bill Clinton. That could really move things in the Democrat Party.
But they're still trying. At the New York Times when
they're trotting out people like George Clooney the day after
their second you must step down editorial, Just what do
they have left in the proverbial quiver that they can
(16:23):
pull out and say we've got something on you. We're
coming for you if you don't step down. I'm not
sure what that what the goods are so to speak?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, I mean speaking of things in the quiver. You know,
there's a steakhouse here in Miami where they have all
of the all of these servers at once come out
and they present a steak to you in like this ornate,
golden crusted briefcase. Clin what is that cost there? We know?
I think I think it might be like five hundred
or one thousand dollars. I have to check. But but
(16:54):
they dance and they open and close the briefcase. It
is called poppy steak, and I am thinking, I'm thinking
that this may be worthy of the place for the bet.
There's there's smoke. It's a bit of a it's a
bit of a show. And they present you with some
kind of a wag gear. They're dancers or they're dancing guys. No, No,
I'd rather have the dancing girls.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I mean, if I'm gonna be paying a thousand dollars
for a steak, I might as well be having the
dancing girls. But at least it's Miami. At least it's Miami.
You could have been like, I'm thinking and inevitably I'm
gonna fin people. I'm thinking about Gary, Indiana. You know,
February fourth, we're losing.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Gary Indiana has some fine steakhouses, sir, we don't.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
We're probably number one in Gary, Indiana, and they just
are drawing, driving off the road like crazy. Right now,
if I have to go to South Florida in the winter,
even if it's dancing men, although I might request that
Poppy bring out some dancing girls. If I'm gonna have
to pay a thousand dollars for a steak, at least
it'll be nice weather. You know, we're constantly bombarded with
(17:55):
ads from credit card companies, but how often do you
hear about one dedicated to advancing conservative causes. Well, there
finally is on and it is called coin spelled with
a G co. I g N coin is back by Visa,
created to be a credit card you can rely on
that is in line with your conservative values. They do
(18:16):
this by donating a portion of every purchase to conservative causes.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
We've both signed up. I got mine in time to
use it next week in Milwaukee when we're at the
R and C convention. Here it is. Don't worry, I'm
not holding up my number. But for those in the
lives you can see it says we the people, as
in like the Constitution in the front of my card.
It's awesome. You carry this card. People know you love America,
freedom in the Constitution, and a portion of everything you
purchase goes to conservative causes. You also got one percent
(18:43):
cash back rewards. Go to coin dot com now for
America's conservative credit card co I g N dot com

We talked just a few moments ago about George Stephan Appubulis,
who is caught on a video audio by TMZ. Jim's
(19:06):
a little weird. He's walking around. They just happen to
find the guy who just happened to do the in
depth interview with Joe Biden a few days ago to say, Hey,
what do you think he's like?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I don't think he's got four more years. I think
it's hilarious, dude, No one thinks he has four more years.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And I mean, I don't think. I'm not convinced that
Joe Biden will have power of speech in two years. Okay,
I'll say that. I don't say it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I hate to say it, but I think that's very
fair position. I don't think he will be able to
make words in about two years, okay, based on the
deterioration speed that we have seen. I'm not a doctor,
but I think anybody with a functioning brain would see
that and say that that this. And yet, as we know,
not only is it Biden has to stay in now,
(19:50):
or at least that's what looks like it's happening. Biden's
staying in means that people around him have to be
willing to publicly say we think he can do four
more years, even though I think every single one of
them knows there is no chance Joe Biden finishes out
by choice or not by choice.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
There is no chance he would make it to twenty
twenty eight as President of the United States. Okay, we
are in an absurd situation with all of this, and
yet it's a situation that has been a long time
building up, and they have no one to blame but themselves.
So Stephanoppinopolis whatever, George you Oh that George Stephanopolis, He says,
(20:32):
one to spell. Yes, he says, I believe if you
if you're a Greek and your last name ends in
the in the Ulos suffix, that means you come from
the Peloponnese. Is that right. We've got Greek listeners, they'll
tell me this. So that's why. And anybody whose name
ends in Ulos, you don't need to know this anyway.
Back to George Clooney, Mister George Clooney, very famous for
(20:56):
the movies he has been over the years.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I'm gonna say something too. I think he's kind of overrated.
You're probably a big Clooney guy, but I think he's
kind of overrated. If I have to pick, i'd go
Brad Pitt. Better body of work. I even think a
better actor. So Clay and Buck fighting over to man,
I'm just going the Brad Pitt. When Brad Pitt super accomplished.
I mean, I thought you were going to say like
someone who was less accomplished would be more challenging. But
(21:20):
I would agree with you on Brad. I think Brad
Pitt's one of the five most successful actors of his generation.
And again depending on defining generation, but Brad Pitt is
really really good. Another guy, like we talked about yesterday,
Tom Cruise Denzel tends to be Brad Pitt. They just
don't make very many bad movies. There are some, I
know because you guys are gonna blow me up with them,
but in general, those guys have pretty good choices in
(21:41):
terms of the movies they make. Clooney's made a bunch
of clunkers. Yeah, he's really so.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I think in Pitt v. Clooney, I think that Pitt
is the better actor. And they were weren't there both in
Ocean's Eleven? Or anyway? The point here about the politics.
I did enjoy Ocean's Eleven. I'll say I didn't see
the name. Ocean's Eleven is a good film.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
If I have to the best Brad Pitt movie seven, Wow,
it's seven. I mean it's dark, but seven is an
incredible movie. I think the best Brad Pitt movie is seven.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
For me. I'd have to say I probably go Troy
because I like all that historical epic stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That's super homo erotic, like again, settled down. I don't
want to cast dispersions on Achilles, and as Seinfeld said,
not that there's anything wrong with it, but I think
Brad Pitt's Achilles is super gay in in Troy.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, Clay, I don't know if you know, but the
ancient Greeks they did they were a little bit different,
the original different over the family show, the male you know,
they did things a little different. You know, they had
the Olympics naked. They had a lot of things going
on naked. Anyway, that was a long time ago, you know,
a couple of thousand years. Wrestling tough to do and
not be gay.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I would just suggest, I would just suggest this is
like if you get get athletes, you get athletes, and
you want to get them really laughing.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
This is true, This is this is true for all
of you.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
The toughest thing for an athlete to do, pro athlete,
college athlete, full grown men, shower fights, Guys on teams
get in fights all the it happens all the time
every league, they get in fights, and people who cover
in the media have seen them shower fights. How do
you break up a shower fight? Guys are like on
(23:29):
a football field, We'll break it up on a basketball court.
Two guys are slipping, sliding around, fully naked, throwing haymakers
at each other. One of them has to get knocked
out before the fight ends. Nobody wants to break it up.
Lessons from Clay from.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
The World of Sports for all of you. I'm gonna
take us back to the presidential contest now everybody. So
I was gonna say the best clooning movie, I can't
even think of what the best clooning movie'd be. Probably
Ocean's eleven, so we have because his batman was not good.
George Clooney, who is if you look looking for the
quintessential democrat, elitist Hollywood celebrity, he's certainly in the conversation.
(24:07):
You know, he's incredibly wealthy, He's got the wife who
does all the international cause stuff. And you know Clooney is,
you know, like private jets, show up at Davo, show
up at the climate change conference, kind of a guy.
And he's written in The New York times that they
need a new nominee. The headline here is George Clooney,
(24:28):
I love Biden, but we do need a new nominee.
And he says all these nice things about him, and
you know, here's the first reaction that I have to this,
Clay all of this, this is the unspoken part of it, right,
But let me just also say, Joe Biden does not
(24:48):
give a bleep about what George Clooney says are right, So, okay,
could care. George Clooney just raised thirty million dollars for
him in a Hollywood fundraiser recently, three weeks ago, three
weeks ago. So this is what I keep saying. These people,
oh George, you know, or a Joe has to step down,
they're raising money for Joe. Handover fist. Okay, the part
(25:09):
of this, I don't know what your biggest reaction, initial
reaction this And by the way, the op ed, it's
very it's Joe is great, but we have a great
bench and it's time for people to step up. But
nobody can outrun Father Time. And you know whatever, it's
the very like nothing interesting. The fact that Kamala Harris
is not just the assumed air in all these pieces
(25:33):
is such a slap in the face. She's the vice president.
The current president has dementia. She should be the one.
The problem here is that they can't even get unity
in the party on that move because Kamala is such
a disaster.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
You and I have said this on this program. Trump
said it yesterday at his rally in South Florida. He said,
give bidenit. The one thing he did was pick the
only person more incompetent than him to be as vice president.
So they're not trying to elevate her. To me, the
clooney takeaway that is most important here is is this
(26:13):
couple of sentences. It's devastating to say it, but the
Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the
fundraiser was not the Joe big efing deal Biden of
twenty ten. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of twenty twenty.
He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So all these arguments what the Biden people have been trying.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
To say, and I know you went back to this,
but yeah, they try to say bad night. Now they're
coming out and saying, actually, you know what, that's who
he is and his ties in because he's losing. That's
why they're doing it. It's not about the debate, it's
that they are losing.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
If he were. That's a huge to all. Shut up,
that's that's a huge takeaways. This is when This is
why I've said along that they would vote for him
if he came out with a blanket over his knees.
The only reason you're seeing this make believe surge of
honesty from Democrats about Biden is that all the polls
show him getting absolutely destroyed right now. I mean the
polls right now are in landslide territory right Just to
(27:19):
be clear, what happened in twenty twenty two is in
a lot of close races, the Republicans were ahead. They
weren't ahead by massive, massive numbers, but they were ahead.
But Democrats closed the gap, and sure enough we didn't
get the votes where we needed them how we needed them.
This is different. This is a presidential poll or presidential
polling consistent for months, the trend only going in one direction,
(27:44):
all saying the same thing, all with the same key takeaway,
and that right now, from an electoral college standpoint, it
would be one of the biggest ass kickings we have
seen in a long time in a presidential election. That's
why George Clooney is writing this. That's why all this
is happening. That's that's the funny part about this too,
is they're like, I have to speak truth to power now.
(28:05):
It's like, no, you're just desperate because your guy is
about to get just waxed, gonna get at what.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's what the underlying story is here. That's why all
of this is happening. Laura Travis, by the way, has
weight in. She says Brad Pitt's best movie by far
as fight Club. So for some of you, that was
my second choice. To be fair, that was my number.
I was gonna go number two on that one.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
But that's fair. She's wrong. I mean it's seven, but
but I wanted to that is that is.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
A very dark movie. I mean, it's sad, but it's
an incredible film.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I mean, it's good, but it's like a horror movie.
I don't know, I can't get I'd take definitely fight
Club over seven. Fight Club is not exactly a super
lighthearted movie either. It's pretty dark. Yeah, but there's a
message to it, you know what I mean? There's a
message to it, you know, office space.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
No one talks about fight club, Ali says, snatch, she's
just off the reservation.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I mean, come on, I mean, come on.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
If you want to step up, Lebron and Jordan and
Aally just came in with John Stockton. Got to keep
John Stockton in mind. I mean, come on, let's get
John his due respect. Okay, a great player in his day,
He's the greatest baseball player of all time. I think
you really have to think about Kim kammanatty. I think
(29:27):
that's a if you're a Houston person, you're gonna be
laughing about that. Sorry, maybe Kim Cameranaddy's driving along, He's like, man,
what happened there? It's Babe Ruth, It's Willie Mays, Kim Kvianet.
I mean, come on, fight club. It's definitely seven. But
that's at least an argument.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Legends of the Fall was a good movie for what
it was accept except Brad Pitt did not age at all,
and everyone else turned into like a senior citizen in
that movie. Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
He also married the eight year old girl from that movie,
which is kind of a little bit creepy. Remember is
that obviously had grown up? But yes, he didn't marry
or when she was eight. But I think it's like,
you know, that's that Jeopardy skit they do where it's
like meet your second wife, and have you seen that's
actually really funny. I have seen that. That's a Saturday
at Live skit. Sorry, it's like meet your second wife. Anyway,
(30:15):
it's a really funny skit. I think, like for the
women out there that are watching you, Like Brad Pitt's
like twenty five or thirty and there's this like eight
year old girl and then he ends up with her.
It's kind of like, I don't know that that's the
love story. I would want to, you know, kind of
focus on.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Also, every girl about my age, for some reason, loves, uh,
Meet Joe Black. This is very They love the Meet
Joe Black movie. I've heard seen it.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, I've seen it. I think I think it's a
it's not in the in the running.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
No, it's not the running. I'm just saying this is
another another no.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I think you're right. I think a lot of women
love Meet Joe Black. I was gonna say, isn't clue
isn't Brad Pitt. Also, when A River Runs through it?
Now he's not the star like this was before he
was a superstar. I think he's the he's the supporting Uh,
he's the brother, the other brother. Yes, my dad loves
fly fishing, so I had to sit through that movie
a lot. I actually think that's a really good movie.
(31:07):
Norman McLean novel A River Runs through It that it
was based on, also incredibly well done. I mean, if
you like watching guys in beautiful rivers in Montana fly fishing,
you will like that movie. If that does not excite you,
you probably should watch Snatch and hang out on Team Alley.
On that one, I will say, Brad Pitt and Moneyball
is really good, but you have to be a sports fan.
I don't know that you would like Moneyball if you're
(31:29):
not a sports fan. When he plays the.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Billy and he has a pretty he's got a pretty
minor part in that movie, I don't think that's not
a Brad would say is better? Oh I'm sorry. No,
he has a big one of Moneyball. I was thinking
of the big short. He has a smaller one of
the big short money Ball.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
He's very Yeah, Moneyball is good. I mean, Brad Pitt
is very good in it, and he does play Billy
Bean very well. But I think Jonah Hill is actually
kind of the steeler here Jordan George Creeny writes this
this op ed just to bring this back for a
second here and always like this is the thing.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I all. I care about what these people are, the
movies that they make. I don't care about their political opinions.
I don't think they are wise. I don't think they
are smart. It's hilarious to me that The New York
Times is like, you know what we're gonna do. We're
gonna leverage the political power of George Clooney in this
will I will say buck.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
The New York Times is running a takedown Biden campaign
right now. Like I think they have someone basically in
a war room saying, Okay, we're gonna drop the second
editorial on Monday. On Tuesday, we're gonna have the Clooney editorial.
This is why I keep asking what arrows are left
in the quiver? How far are they willing to go
(32:40):
to try and take down I mean, I think Joe Biden.
I think they took their shot in the nest, and
I think Biden knows it. I again, this is why
Buck Island real estate is increasing in value right now.
Twenty five dollars online sale at MyPillow dot com still

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We're deluged
with a lot of you went away in and everything
from what should Biden do? To what's the best Brad
Pitt movie. We'll take some of your calls eight hundred
and two eight two two eight eight two, But I
just want to point out that as I sit here
drinking my delectable Crocket Coffee, which all of you should
be drinking as well from Crocketcoffee dot com. If you
(34:31):
love America, you should be enjoying a company that actually
respects you and believes that America is a great place
to live. Odds have just shot up on Joe Biden
potentially dropping out, as there are rumors afoot that many
(34:53):
prominent senators and House members may be about to come
out and that he has to step down. So I
want all of you to keep that in mind at
any moment. This is where everything is just going crazy,
and never have any idea and John and kill Devil Hills.
(35:13):
You're saying, don't buy Buck Island real estate?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Right now? John, what do you think I used to
work up there?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I gave it up in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
It's a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Oh you're talking about the physical reality of Buck Island
in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I was like, I was like, whoa buddy, I don't
remember hiring you. What's going on here?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Sorry, that's what you're saying, right John, Like, there literally
is for people who don't know, we've been talking about
Buck Island where the Biden flag continues to fly strong.
There is actually a Buck Island in North Carolina. And
you're saying it's actually not a good place to live.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Well, it is once you get there. Is it high
end Carolina? Is it high end? Is it expensive real estate? Yeah?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, getting any cheaper?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
But and I know the guy who's developed and he
his first name is Buck, but it's not second. He
named the island after himself. Now that is a that
is a strong play. Is there a Clay Island? Does
that exist anywhere? I feel like it's not going to
be a fancy of real estate.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, I don't know. I would like to have one.
I don't think you'd want to be on an island
made of clay. Erosion would be a problem.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Oh you think that that's actually a negative when it
comes to the park. I would think clay would be
stabilizing supported living on dust island.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
You don't live on dust island. There's a lot of
water around you dust island.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
But as we go to break by the way, you see,
the New York Times had the big story about all
the islands that we're supposed to disappear because of climate
change that have actually grown.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I love over the weekend. Yeah,
