Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. We have got
a fun show coming your way. Buck, We'll be back
with me tomorrow. I am back in Nashville. Amazing time
in Omaha, Nebraska over the weekend. I met so many
(00:22):
of you Tennessee fans, Texas A and M fans, Clay
and Buck fans listeners on KFAB and Omaha. I'll talk
a little bit about that experience and how fabulous all
of you were, but just a tremendous time. Had my
family with me Saturday and Sunday, Big Game three. I know,
I know I had to come back because of my kids.
(00:45):
Should have stayed in Omaha. K Fab was all set
to host me. I appreciate them being so fabulous and
all of you listening in that area. A lot of you,
I imagine listening to me right now, are going to
be watching this evening if you need a fun, entertaining
option of something to watch. Tennessee, Texas A and M
for all the marbles in the College World series will
(01:06):
be a lot of fun. Again. I'll talk about my
experience in Omaha a little bit later, but it is
debate week, and the chaos it is underway already. I'm
gonna lay all this out. Let me let you know
where we're going, by the way, with interviews during the
course of the show with guests. We're going to be
joined at one point thirty by Miranda Divine, our good
(01:26):
friend from the New York Post who broke all the
Hunter Biden's stories. She's got a fabulous article up in
the New York Post about the chaos that is currently
occurring at the Washington Post. If you have not paid
attention to that story, I think you're going to be
really intrigued by it because it's emblematic of left wing
lies no longer being able to be compensated really in
(01:51):
the marketplace, and the Washington Post, which is lost, according
to its own managing editor, fifty percent of its audience
in recent time. No one is reading their articles. There's
a bit of a panic that has set in there,
and we're going to discuss what that represents and Miranda's
take on that all democracy dies in darkness. As the
(02:12):
Washington Post brands itself at two o'clock and we're going
to dive right into this momentarily. Caroline Levitt, who many
of you have been hearing on this program for a
couple of years now, who is the Trump campaign spokesperson,
was on CNN this morning and they canceled her on
CNN they ended the interview. I know a little bit
(02:35):
about that, as I was banned from CNN back in
twenty seventeen. We've got some fun audio to play for
that for those of you out there who do not
remember this for saying I only believed in two things completely,
the First Amendment and Boobs super viral moment CNN lost
its mind. I believe I'm still banned by the network
(02:55):
seven years later. ESPN and CNN have both banned me.
That's a tough duo. I don't think anybody else's been there.
So Caroline Levitt will be on with us just after
two to discuss that, and we're going to play that
audio for you, and then at two thirty, London Roberts.
She is the mother of Joe Biden's fifth grandchild, sixth
(03:18):
grandchild maybe whatever the number is. Well fact check that,
but Joe Biden refuses to acknowledge this child. Hunter Biden's
daughter five years old. Now, I believe has never had
any interaction with her grandpa, who happens to be the
President of the United States. For a long time, they
refuse to acknowledge her. Joe Biden claims to be America's grandpa.
(03:41):
He's eighty one years old. I hope to one day
have grandchildren. I can't imagine pretending that one of them
did not exist. I think that that is a very
significant part of Joe Biden's biography that should be discussed.
London Roberts has got a book coming out soon. She
is from Arkansas and she is the mother of the
(04:03):
granddaughter of the President of the United States, and we
will discuss that story and her interaction with the Biden
family and how she has found them to be. All
of that coming your way at to thirty. But I
wanted to start with this situation. By the way, the
little girl's name Navy Roberts. I wanted to start with
(04:25):
the situation that began this morning on CNM. Reminder for
all of you who may not be aware, maybe you've
been on vacation and you're still kind of in disbelief.
We have a presidential debate on Thursday. I told you
on Friday. I think it is past fail for Joe Biden.
That is to me, the reason why this debate has
(04:46):
been scheduled for June twenty seventh is because Joe Biden
has to prove to the Democrats that he is capable
of being president of the United States and winning an election.
That's why this this so early, because I believe if
Biden performs poorly, they are going to yank him. This
(05:06):
is a basically chosen Biden forum. They're on CNN. Jake
Tapper and Dana Bash, who have a history of comparing
Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler, are the moderators. This feels
to me somewhat like when you know that the umpire
(05:26):
in a game has got money on the other team.
This is a rigged situation. We understand that you all
understand that Trump is going in not just against Joe Biden,
but also against both moderators. I would almost guarantee for
you the first question for Donald Trump will be about
(05:48):
whether or not he will acknowledge that he lost the
twenty twenty election, and if he loses again in twenty
twenty four, will he acknowledge that he lost that election.
I would almost guarantee you that will be the first question.
And then they will continue to follow many of the
media hoaxes. I just hope that Biden's not going to
(06:09):
get the questions in advance like we knew no happened
for Hillary Clinton back in twenty sixteen. This morning, Caroline
Levitt went on with the morning host of CNN. I'm
not even sure. I need to make sure what this
host's name is, because they fired the early show morning
host Don Lemon and his other co host, and then
(06:32):
they gave a primetime show to Caitlin Collins. So I'm
not even sure that they have technically even changed the
way that they are doing the morning show. This woman's
name is Cassie Hunt. So this was this morning. This
was Caroline Levitt going on the show talking about the
(06:55):
true and I'll play it for you fact that Jake
Tapper and Dana Bash have both compared Donald Trump to
Adolf Hitler. And this is what it sounded like when
the host Cassie Hunt has a meltdown and kicks Caroline
Levitt off her CNN show. Play cut for.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
So it takes someone five minutes to google Jake Tapper
Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
President Adolf Hilter.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Ma'am, I'm going to stop you. If you'm statium to
attack my colleagues. I would like to talk about jo
State and Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Who you work for.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yes, if you are speak on his behalf and I
will to have this conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in
the past.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Now we're going to come bactation.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Caroline, thank you very much for your time. You are
welcome to come back at any point. She is welcome
to come back and speak about Donald Trump and Donald
Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they
both join us now at next early later this week
in Atlanta for this debate.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Okay, that's Casey Hunt, sorry, Cassie Casey whatever, idiot host
there of CNN's morning show, losing it frankly and having
a meltdown over the fact that Caroline Levitt, who will
be with us at two o'clock Eastern on this show,
that Caroline Levitt rightly points out that Jake Tapper and
Dana Bash are both consistently anti Trump opinion makers on
(08:20):
the airwaves of CNN. And if you have forgotten, these
are the debate moderators in quotation marks. These are Joe
Biden's rigged officials that will be asking questions here they are.
This is Jake Tapper last December and Dana Bash last
March comparing Trump to Hitler. As Caroline Levitt is rightly
(08:42):
pointing out, Listen.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
The dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf Hitler is once again alive
and well on a national political stage, this time, of course,
in the United States, this time given life by former
president and current Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Let's recognize this comment for what it is, a longstanding
anti Semitic trope that the true allegiance for Jews is
to their religion rather than their country. It was used
in Nazi Germany to justify the arrest, persecutions, and mass
killings that attempted extermination of the Jewish people. And Trump
has been pushing this trope for years.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, that's highly relevant if you are a voter out
there and you knew that. On the one hand, Jake
Tapper and Dana Bash had decided that they were going,
by the way, it's Dana. I don't know why they
pronounce it Dana, but whatever they had compared Trump to Hitler.
(09:41):
Would you think to yourselves. Oh, you know what, this
sounds like a duo that's going to be very fair.
And if you still are like, I'm not really sure
about this, here's Jake Tapper. Listen to how he reacted
to the twenty twenty election results live on the air
of CNN. Does this sound like a journalist or does
(10:01):
this sound like a left wing opinionist trying to pretend
that he is a journalist. Listen.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It's been a time of several significant and utterly avoidable failures,
most tragically, of course, the unwillingness to respect facts and
science and do everything that could be done to save
lives during a pandemic. It has been a time where
truth in fact we're treated with disdain.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It is a time of.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Cruelty, where official inhumanity such as child separation became the
official shameful policy of the United States. But now the
Trump presidency is coming to an end with so many
squandered opportunities and ruined potential, but also an era of
just plain meanness. It must be said, to paraphrase President Ford,
(10:44):
for tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long
national nightmare is over.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Their long national nightmare is over. Does that sound like
a journalist who is try to call right down the middle?
Does that sound like someone who is going to be
fair on Thursday during this ninety minute debate. Of course not. Now.
(11:11):
Some people are already and have been for some time,
saying Trump should never do this. I disagree. I think
the town hall is really important as a prologue to
what this might be. Like. Trump went toe to toe
with Caitlin Collins in a primetime televised town hall event
(11:34):
and came out the victor. I think when you walk
into the ring and you know that there are three
people arrayed against you in that gladiatorial combat scene, I
think this is an incredible opportunity for Trump to not
just triumph over Joe Biden, but to also put the
(11:56):
media on notice that he's not going to allow their
lies to be spread. And if you remember a good
analogy on the NBC debate, the veik Ramaswami early in
that debate, went right after Kristen Welker and the NBC
moderators for their lies. And some of you are going
(12:20):
to say, I don't like this, I'm not in favor
of this. You're already in the choir. So to speak.
Some preachers enjoy just talking to the choir, but if
you're really going to win an election, you have to
reach people that are outside of your congregation. And there
are going to be many people tuning in that have
(12:43):
believed a litany of lies about Donald Trump for years
and for ninety minutes. He has an opportunity to prove
to them that many of those lies are completely and
without doubt lies, and he has to do it with
everybody a ray against him. So I think setting the
(13:04):
parameters and making people aware of exactly what to expect
here is going to be really incredibly important again when
it comes to persuading the people outside of the congregation.
So I think this is so important. We'll take your calls,
by the way, eight hundred and two A two two
eight A two, continue to lay it out. I give
(13:26):
incredible praise to Caroline Levitt for her willingness to call
this out. And I think it's a sign of CNN's
weakness anytime you cancel someone. And if you want to
hear about cancelation, I'll play for you the last words
that I was ever allowed to say on CNN before
(13:46):
they banned me. I think you guys are going to
really enjoy that. It's a throwback. We'll play that for
you coming up in a moment. In the meantime. If
you listen to yesterday's Sunday Hang podcast, I talked about
how much I love going to the movies, especially with
my kids. Nothing better to me still than seeing a
really good movie on the big screen in a theater.
I still love the experience. New movie coming out this Friday.
(14:10):
It's called Horizon and American Saga and it stars Kevin Costner.
It's an American frontier movie. Values like bravery, courage, individuality, hope,
firm faith, the best is yet to come. We want
you to check it out, Horizon and American Saga. You
are going to really enjoy it because, especially Kevin Costner's involvement.
(14:33):
He's had Yellowstone Certainly, which many of you out there
watch and have seen over the past several years, the
incredible Oscar winning Dances with Wolves, which was so incredible.
With Kevin Costner, this is his latest epic tell of
the West. It's coming out, a story of courageous men
and women who sacrificed everything for their chance at the
(14:55):
American dream. Again. Kevin Costner stars in and direct the
epic tale of how the West Was Won. Don't miss it.
Horizon and American Saga Chapter one comes out this Friday,
just in time for the fourth of July holiday weekend.
Chapter two will come out later this summer in August.
(15:17):
On August sixteenth, Join the Frontier Past now at fandango
dot com for tickets. That's Horizon and American Saga coming
out this Friday.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Keep up with Clay and Bucks campaign coverage with twenty
four a Sunday highlight reel from the week. Find it
on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We roll through the
Monday edition of the show, Buck doing well. We'll be
(15:48):
back with us on Tuesday. And I want to mention
I'm gonna play the audio for you from CNN here
in a moment when we come back from the next segment.
But I wanted to make sure that I mentioned in
addition to the debate happening on Thursday in theory, there
are sixteen Supreme Court decisions that are going to be
made this week as well, so in addition to the
crazy rig Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, Shenanigan's debate that's going
(16:13):
on Thursday with no crowd ninety minutes, Biden still not
being seen publicly for a week as he prepares for this.
Doesn't that, by the way, give you a pretty good
sign that he's not capable of being president of the
United States if he has to prepare for a full
week to talk for thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Eight or thirty nine minutes on a stage. I'm not
saying I do a great job, but I feel very
confident that if you put me inside of Joe Biden's brain,
Let's pretend he had one and I had to speak
for thirty eight or thirty nine minutes in defense of
his administration without any prep at all, even disagreeing with
(16:54):
almost every choice that he has made, I could do
a much better job than he's going to do on
the debate stage on Thursday. Do any of you doubt
that if we had like a freaky Friday situation and
Joe Biden had to deputize me to be making every
argument for him with no prep, do any of you
doubt that I could do that job better than he could.
(17:16):
I don't think there's any doubt at all. The mere
fact that he's gonna have to take a week to
do this is a disaster for him. But when you
look at this, and I'm gonna talk about this more
when I come back this casey Cassie Hunt, whatever her
name is, on the morning show at CNN that nobody watches.
She did her network a disservice by the way that
(17:36):
she responded, because she turned it into a much bigger
story than it ever would have been if they had
just let Caroline Hunt make the arguments and point out
rightly that we're dealing with a rig job here. Her
response in cutting the mic of Caroline Levin, who's gonna
be with us at two, and not allowing her to speak,
(17:57):
actually made it infinitely bigger story than it would have
been otherwise. More people are going to be aware of
this bias now than ever would have before. Since nine
to eleven, Tunnel of the Towers Foundation has been committed
to supporting our nations first responders and veterans, heroes who
put their lives on the line for our communities and
our country. Heroes like US Army Major Jonathan Turnbull. He's
the same devastating injuries at the hands of an Isis suicide.
(18:20):
Bomber nearly lost his eyesight, required twenty surgeries in countless
hours of rehabilitation, Tunnel of the Towers paid off his mortgage,
gave him a specially adapted smart home. He moves around
that home more easily now. His home also gives him hope.
With help from people like you, The foundation supports families
like the Turnbulls joined Tunnel to the Towers and supporting
(18:40):
America's heroes, our nations, severely injured veterans and first responders,
homeless veterans, gold Star families, and more. Donate eleven dollars
a month to Tunnel to Towers at T two t
dot org. That's t the number two t dot org.
Ninety five cents of every dollar directly to the programs.
Welcome back in rolling through the Monday edition Clay Travis
(19:01):
buck Sexton Show. I've got some fun to discuss with
you at the end of the hour. My good friend
Jesse Kelly Balding, radio host in the evenings here, has
take an issue with my haircut. Some of you are
really big fans of the haircut. I got an email
from a nice woman who said Clay. I tuned in
to the Clay and Buck VIP because i'd heard you
(19:22):
talking about how bad your haircut was, and I think
she said it looked fabulous. And I have to track
down that email to respond to these attacks that are
rolling in on a regular basis ever since I got
that haircut from the barber on the street in Washington,
d C. While I was up visiting colleges with my
sixteen year old. Good thing about my hair, I'll just
(19:42):
point out to Jesse Kelly Balding, afternoon radio host, evening
radio show host on this network, unlike a Balding man,
my hair will grow back. But we will discuss this
a bit later in the meantime. Caroline Lovet Who's going
to join us. At the top of the third hour
of the program, Caroline Levitt canceled by CNN. They ended
(20:03):
the interview and they said, you're not allowed to even
discuss Jake Tapper and Dana Bash calling Donald Trump on
a regular basis, comparing him to Adolph Hitler and the
Nazi regime. They've made that a staple of their broadcasting careers,
and so it's fair to ask whether or not they
(20:25):
can be fair moderators and some of you out there again,
I'm blown up. Oh he should never be doing this.
He's going into the lions. Then he knows it. I
actually think, though, it's super smart strategy of Caroline to
call out the bias in advance, because it may dial
back the bias just a little bit, because now everyone
(20:45):
is attuned to the fact that Jake Tapper and Dana
Bash are regularly attacking Donald Trump. We played the audio
for you already, but I wanted to play you throwback style.
This is the story on this for those of you
who haven't heard this. In September of twenty seventeen, I
went on CNN to talk about my belief that the
(21:09):
marketplace of ideas should be powerful, and that the First
Amendment should already always triumph, and you shouldn't fire people
because you disagree with their opinions. That cancel culture should
not be a thing. I was actually defending Jamel Hill,
who had called Donald Trump a white supremacist. Not accurate,
(21:31):
not fair, dishonest. But I don't believe that in your
private life you should be fired for your political opinions.
I think all of you should be able to go
on Facebook. You should be able to go on Twitter, x, Instagram,
whatever the account is, and when you're not at work,
you should be able to tell your friends and family, hey,
(21:51):
I love Joe Biden. I think he's the greatest president
of all time. I think that you've got a broken
brain if you believe that, But I think you should
be able to say that, and certainly you should be
able to go and say, hey, I think you should
vote for Donald Trump. He did a fabulous job the
first time. I think he'll do a fabulous job the
second time. That is my opinion, much better choice than
Joe Biden. I think you should be able to say that,
(22:11):
or RFK Junior, or you could be a libertarian, or
you could be a Green Party person, or you could
be a Carnell West supporter or whatever when you're outside
of work, I think you should be able to share
your political opinions without fear of losing your job. I
went on CNN to make that argument. I had been
saying on my radio show, my sports talk radio show
(22:32):
for some time that the First Amendment was alive and
well on that show, and that callers should be able
to voice any opinion that they wanted. And I had
said as a joke instead of saying, hey, I'm a
First Amendment absolutist, which is kind of a phrase that
people get lost on sometimes hard. What does that mean?
You stumble over it? You don't really understand it. I
would say on my show regularly, there's only two things
(22:55):
that had never let me down, the First Amendment and boobsbs,
as you will hear momentarily on CNN, as a joking
way to make it clear that I was a supporter
of people being able to say whatever they want. And also,
by the way, I'm a heaterosexual man. It's kind of true,
but we would have fun with that phrase. I went
(23:16):
on CNN and I said it, here's a throwback to
twenty seventeen. I got cut off like Caroline Levitt, and
I am still banned from being able to appear on
CNN seven years later because of this interaction.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Listen, I'm a First Amendment absolutist. I believe in only
two things completely, the First Amendment and boobs, and so
once they made the decision.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
That they were not you believe.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
In the related commentary, I just want to make sure
I heard you correctly.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
As a woman anchoring the show, did.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You say, what did you just say?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
You believe in the First Amendment ends betwws.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Boobs, two things that have only never let me down
in this entire country's history. The First Amendment and boobso
are the only two things I believe in absolutely in
the country.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
I just want to make sure I'm hearing you correctly,
b oo ze or boobs, because as.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
A woman, I'm i'm us in boobs. I believe completely
in the First Amendment and in boobs. Those are the
only two things I believe one hundred percent in in
this country.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
And by the way, Jamelle hasn't actually sit in there.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Even say that live on national television and with a
female host.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I say it live on the radio all the time
because it's true. And that's what I do because I
like boobs and the First Amendment, which is exactly what
I said.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
All Right, she cut me off. I'm banned seven years later.
That's real. If you haven't seen it, it continues to
cycle through virally. The kids on TikTok now who are
like five or six years old when that happened. Now
they all see it. I got banned, like Caroline Levitt
got cut off. They said she could come back. I'm
still not allowed to appear on seeing it. But I
(24:57):
think two things that are important about that clip. One,
it's funny, so that's not the first thing I'm gonna
say it's important about it. But the first thing is
from that clip they wanted me to immediately apologize. You
could see her try to play identity politics with me
as a woman. How dare you say this on CNN?
What women don't know? That is cleavage? A new thing?
(25:18):
Are women unaware that men are attracted to boobs? Is
this a stunning revelation that I provided, and by the way,
a comedic way, right, They wanted me to immediately say,
I'm sorry, I apologize, I'll bend the need to you.
Why would I do that? And even the other guest
there was like, I'm astounded, I can't believe. And what
by the way, the other guest turned out he had
(25:40):
way worse things that he had said on social media
about women. Of course, right, because it's all fake and
I did it. I owned it. So One, you can
never apologize. You certainly can never apologize for a joke
or something that you're doing to add levity to a situation,
as I was doing. Two, I give tremendous credit here.
The reason I'm on this radio program talking to you
(26:01):
right now is because I have the same boss that
I had then, Julie Talbot, who was Russia's boss. I
had just started doing sports talk radio for Julie Talbot
when that happened. And you probably won't be stunned by this,
but that was the peak of cancel culture. Many people
demanded that I'd be fired for going on CNN and
(26:23):
saying that, and Julie Talbot in Premier Networks, who distributes
our show and distributed Russia show, got a ton of heat.
And I'll always remember Julie Talbot's first response. I love her,
but I had just started working for her at the
time they brought this to her. She's dealing with crisis
controversy all the time. She manages everybody across the political spectrum.
(26:48):
They brought it to her in her first response was well,
I've heard much worse. And I would go through a
fire for that woman from that point forward, because she
stood up for me when I was still a new
employee for her. I hadn't been doing the sports talk
radio show for much more than a year. Maybe at
(27:08):
that point in time, and so when she came to
me and to Buck and she said, we want you
guys to be stepping in behind the golden microphone, taking
over and working to advance the audience that Rush built here.
I don't think I would have taken this job if
I hadn't known already that she was our boss, and
(27:29):
that she had a steel spine, and that she was
going to have our back no matter what when people
came after us, because this, as you can well imagine,
is the biggest radio platform in the country. I loved
doing sports talk radio. We were killing it in the mornings.
I was apprehensive about making the change. I love. Three
(27:51):
years in, we just had our three year anniversary. I
loved the choice that I made and the fact that
Buck and I have been able to have so much
fun and hopefully engage educate so many of you in
continuing to fight for what we believe in. But I
wouldn't have done it without Julie as the boss. And
I think it's so instructive there of what they try
to do. They will try to take you out when
(28:13):
they can, and I've said this on the radio program
for a long time. They come for you, those of
you who listen to Rush. Know this, You know what
Rush went through over his thirty three year career. Sitting here.
They oftentimes come for you, and they don't come for
you necessarily based on the opinion that you think they will.
(28:34):
They find something where they think you're weak, or they
find a pressure point and they come and they try
to end you because they don't like what we're saying.
They don't truly like the marketplace of ideas. And I
think that's so interesting. I do Fox News hits a lot.
I don't remember Fox News turning the microphone off a guest.
(28:55):
Maybe it's happened, certainly never happened to me, And no
one at Fox News and Julie Talbot and no one
at Ihearten Premiere has ever said to me you can't
say this, Clay, or we need you to not talk
about this issue. It's never happened in my entire career.
I can't speak for everyone else, but to me, that's
the ultimate test. Do you or do you not trust
(29:16):
the voice that you're hearing, Because as soon as somebody
is co opted in any way by bosses, management, advertisers,
any sort of situation where you feel like, no, they're
not telling me what they really think. You should turn
us off. I mean, honestly, any voice that you hear,
as soon as you have reason to believe that they
(29:37):
are not telling you exactly what they think every day
from the honest, deepest soul of their character, I really
believe you should turn them off. And there are a
lot of people in media who are frauds. It's the truth.
Julie Talbot, I think has a great sensibility for who
is being honest, who's telling true stories every single day.
(29:59):
And that moment that I just shared with you, I
was thinking about it this morning as the Caroline Levitt
drama has grown and she's going to join us at
Too Eastern. It's why I'm talking to you today. It's
why you've been listening to me for the last three years.
Because I had an opportunity to bend the knee there.
Julie Talbot had an opportunity to say, Hey, I don't
need this guy associated with my programming anymore. Let's rip
(30:21):
the chord. Let's get rid of him. She stood behind me.
She knows what I do on a daily basis. She
knew where I was coming from. She has a sense
of humor, she's unlike CNN. She's not going to try
to cut somebody's mic. And that's why premiere and iHeart
if people across the spectrum. Lots of people who disagree
with everything I say. Heck, I think iHeart distributes Keith Oberman,
(30:42):
and I think basically he's an insane man. But if
people want to hear Keith Oberman's opinion, I think they should.
I think you should be able to make it a
living on his opinion, whether you're far left, far right,
wherever the heck you are on the political spectrum. Hell,
if you're a political in many ways, if you're entertaining
on the radio and in audio, I think you should
be able to make a living. And that's become an
(31:04):
old fashioned view, but I'm confident that we're in a
better place now than we were into twenty seventeen because
of people like Rush, because of people like Julie Talbot,
and because CNN's audience continues to diminish. Why. Because I
think people have realized they're not honest, they're not telling
you the truth, and over time, the truth wins. I
(31:25):
really do believe I'm an optimist in that way. I
do believe that over time, the truth wins. I think
Russia's career is an example of that. I think my
career has been an example that Bock's career is an
example of that. And you guys are the ultimate arbiters
every single day. But my goodness, thank the Lord for
Julie Talbot. She's amazing. And if you haven't seen that
clip and you want to be entertained, it's even better,
(31:47):
trust me on video. And I'm still one hundred percent
of proponent of the First Amendment and boobs. Speaking of
heterosexual men, you know that testosterone is at an all
time low in this country. It's certainly at an all
time low at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. I don't know
that men employed in the White House have ever had
(32:09):
a lower level of testosterone than right now. Heck, the
John F. Kennedy Democrats, I bet they had triple the
testosterone that the Joe Biden Democrats. The men in the
White House have right now. Just look at their policies,
Just look at their lack of energy, vitality, vigor. Joe
Biden can't even walk across the lawn. We really do
(32:31):
need to send him a bunch of chalk Thursday. I
think you're going to see a major energy difference. Even
if they shoot up Joe Biden with all sorts of drugs,
which I do believe they're gonna do. I think he's
gonna be hopp I don't think he's gonna be able
to sleep for three days after that debate. They're gonna
give him so much Jack, I don't even know all
it's all gonna be. Maybe they're gonna give him all chalk. Look,
(32:53):
get hooked up right now. If you don't have the
energy you used to, if you don't feel like you
have the same testosterone level that you used to three months,
time you take chalk every day, twenty percent increase in
your natural testosterone levels. Check it out for yourself. The
Male Vitality Stack also have a female Vitality stack. By
the way, Chalk dot com choq dot com use my
(33:14):
name Clay as the promo code. That's chalk dot com,
my name Clay as the promo code. You can also
call him. Some of you would rather make a telephone
call than you would get on the internet, and I
certainly understand that US based customer service team. They can
answer your questions, easy to do dial five zero chalk
three thousand. That's five zero c hoq three thousand. Trust me,
(33:37):
you will be glad that you did again. Chalk dot com.
Choq dot com. You tell them Clay sent you C
L A Y and that he loves the First Amendment
in boobs, and you'll probably be entertaining the caller screeners
as well. Five zero chalk three thousand. That's five zero
chalk three thousand. Use my name Clay on your subscription.
You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane. He
(34:00):
claim your sanity with Clay and Fu.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. I'm listening
to Jerry Seinfeld during the commercial break react to a
heckler during an Australian comedy show that he was doing.
You need to play that audio for you before the
show is out because Seinfeld, who is an apolitical guy,
(34:31):
has really found his voice surrounding the October seventh terror attacks.
He's spoken out a little bit over the years about
the fact that comedy's not as entertaining as it used
to be. And I've been arguing for years In fact,
I wrote it in one of my books that the
right should become the party that likes jokes. I wrote
(34:52):
it in my most recent book, even if sometimes you're
the butt of the joke, laughing is good and the
left has decided that comedy is too offensive. And there
are a lot of comedians that recognize that this is
a total mess that we have created where everybody's running
(35:13):
around worried about whether the next joke is going to
offend somebody or not. And I think there's a huge
amount of allies in the comedic space. Adam Carolla certainly
is one of them, and I give him credit for
being so outspoken. The Man Show is one of the
funniest shows that's ever aired on comedy television in my opinion,
(35:35):
certainly on cable back in the day. He and Jimmy
Kimmel were fabulous that show. I think would be even
more popular today because what I'm seeing is and this
is why I'm optimistic. I was talking about the reason
I get to do this show. But the reason I'm
so optimistic is I've got three teenage boys. What I
hear from their generation when their kids, when they're around
(35:59):
and they're having conversations, you know, you kind of hear
their conversations as a parent. I think that they uniquely,
and I'm talking about young boys in particular right now,
of all races, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, recognize how much
BS this woke PC culture world we have created, and
I believe they are going to push back strongly. And
(36:22):
I don't think it's coincidentally. You go on TikTok now
pro Trump content dominates pro Biden content, and that's a
lot of young people out there. They're recognizing with their
BS detectors how much of what has been sold to
them is total crap, and they're going to push back
against it. I think in a big way, maybe as
early as twenty four
Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. We have got
a fun show coming your way. Buck, We'll be back
with me tomorrow. I am back in Nashville. Amazing time
in Omaha, Nebraska over the weekend. I met so many
(00:22):
of you Tennessee fans, Texas A and M fans, Clay
and Buck fans listeners on KFAB and Omaha. I'll talk
a little bit about that experience and how fabulous all
of you were, but just a tremendous time. Had my
family with me Saturday and Sunday, Big Game three. I know,
I know I had to come back because of my kids.
(00:45):
Should have stayed in Omaha. K Fab was all set
to host me. I appreciate them being so fabulous and
all of you listening in that area. A lot of you,
I imagine listening to me right now, are going to
be watching this evening if you need a fun, entertaining
option of something to watch. Tennessee, Texas A and M
for all the marbles in the College World series will
(01:06):
be a lot of fun. Again. I'll talk about my
experience in Omaha a little bit later, but it is
debate week, and the chaos it is underway already. I'm
gonna lay all this out. Let me let you know
where we're going, by the way, with interviews during the
course of the show with guests. We're going to be
joined at one point thirty by Miranda Divine, our good
(01:26):
friend from the New York Post who broke all the
Hunter Biden's stories. She's got a fabulous article up in
the New York Post about the chaos that is currently
occurring at the Washington Post. If you have not paid
attention to that story, I think you're going to be
really intrigued by it because it's emblematic of left wing
lies no longer being able to be compensated really in
(01:51):
the marketplace, and the Washington Post, which is lost, according
to its own managing editor, fifty percent of its audience
in recent time. No one is reading their articles. There's
a bit of a panic that has set in there,
and we're going to discuss what that represents and Miranda's
take on that all democracy dies in darkness. As the
(02:12):
Washington Post brands itself at two o'clock and we're going
to dive right into this momentarily. Caroline Levitt, who many
of you have been hearing on this program for a
couple of years now, who is the Trump campaign spokesperson,
was on CNN this morning and they canceled her on
CNN they ended the interview. I know a little bit
(02:35):
about that, as I was banned from CNN back in
twenty seventeen. We've got some fun audio to play for
that for those of you out there who do not
remember this for saying I only believed in two things completely,
the First Amendment and Boobs super viral moment CNN lost
its mind. I believe I'm still banned by the network
(02:55):
seven years later. ESPN and CNN have both banned me.
That's a tough duo. I don't think anybody else's been there.
So Caroline Levitt will be on with us just after
two to discuss that, and we're going to play that
audio for you, and then at two thirty, London Roberts.
She is the mother of Joe Biden's fifth grandchild, sixth
(03:18):
grandchild maybe whatever the number is. Well fact check that,
but Joe Biden refuses to acknowledge this child. Hunter Biden's
daughter five years old. Now, I believe has never had
any interaction with her grandpa, who happens to be the
President of the United States. For a long time, they
refuse to acknowledge her. Joe Biden claims to be America's grandpa.
(03:41):
He's eighty one years old. I hope to one day
have grandchildren. I can't imagine pretending that one of them
did not exist. I think that that is a very
significant part of Joe Biden's biography that should be discussed.
London Roberts has got a book coming out soon. She
is from Arkansas and she is the mother of the
(04:03):
granddaughter of the President of the United States, and we
will discuss that story and her interaction with the Biden
family and how she has found them to be. All
of that coming your way at to thirty. But I
wanted to start with this situation. By the way, the
little girl's name Navy Roberts. I wanted to start with
(04:25):
the situation that began this morning on CNM. Reminder for
all of you who may not be aware, maybe you've
been on vacation and you're still kind of in disbelief.
We have a presidential debate on Thursday. I told you
on Friday. I think it is past fail for Joe Biden.
That is to me, the reason why this debate has
(04:46):
been scheduled for June twenty seventh is because Joe Biden
has to prove to the Democrats that he is capable
of being president of the United States and winning an election.
That's why this this so early, because I believe if
Biden performs poorly, they are going to yank him. This
(05:06):
is a basically chosen Biden forum. They're on CNN. Jake
Tapper and Dana Bash, who have a history of comparing
Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler, are the moderators. This feels
to me somewhat like when you know that the umpire
(05:26):
in a game has got money on the other team.
This is a rigged situation. We understand that you all
understand that Trump is going in not just against Joe Biden,
but also against both moderators. I would almost guarantee for
you the first question for Donald Trump will be about
(05:48):
whether or not he will acknowledge that he lost the
twenty twenty election, and if he loses again in twenty
twenty four, will he acknowledge that he lost that election.
I would almost guarantee you that will be the first question.
And then they will continue to follow many of the
media hoaxes. I just hope that Biden's not going to
(06:09):
get the questions in advance like we knew no happened
for Hillary Clinton back in twenty sixteen. This morning, Caroline
Levitt went on with the morning host of CNN. I'm
not even sure. I need to make sure what this
host's name is, because they fired the early show morning
host Don Lemon and his other co host, and then
(06:32):
they gave a primetime show to Caitlin Collins. So I'm
not even sure that they have technically even changed the
way that they are doing the morning show. This woman's
name is Cassie Hunt. So this was this morning. This
was Caroline Levitt going on the show talking about the
(06:55):
true and I'll play it for you fact that Jake
Tapper and Dana Bash have both compared Donald Trump to
Adolf Hitler. And this is what it sounded like when
the host Cassie Hunt has a meltdown and kicks Caroline
Levitt off her CNN show. Play cut for.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
So it takes someone five minutes to google Jake Tapper
Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
President Adolf Hilter.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Ma'am, I'm going to stop you. If you'm statium to
attack my colleagues. I would like to talk about jo
State and Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Who you work for.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yes, if you are speak on his behalf and I
will to have this conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in
the past.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Now we're going to come bactation.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Caroline, thank you very much for your time. You are
welcome to come back at any point. She is welcome
to come back and speak about Donald Trump and Donald
Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they
both join us now at next early later this week
in Atlanta for this debate.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Okay, that's Casey Hunt, sorry, Cassie Casey whatever, idiot host
there of CNN's morning show, losing it frankly and having
a meltdown over the fact that Caroline Levitt, who will
be with us at two o'clock Eastern on this show,
that Caroline Levitt rightly points out that Jake Tapper and
Dana Bash are both consistently anti Trump opinion makers on
(08:20):
the airwaves of CNN. And if you have forgotten, these
are the debate moderators in quotation marks. These are Joe
Biden's rigged officials that will be asking questions here they are.
This is Jake Tapper last December and Dana Bash last
March comparing Trump to Hitler. As Caroline Levitt is rightly
(08:42):
pointing out, Listen.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
The dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf Hitler is once again alive
and well on a national political stage, this time, of course,
in the United States, this time given life by former
president and current Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Let's recognize this comment for what it is, a longstanding
anti Semitic trope that the true allegiance for Jews is
to their religion rather than their country. It was used
in Nazi Germany to justify the arrest, persecutions, and mass
killings that attempted extermination of the Jewish people. And Trump
has been pushing this trope for years.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, that's highly relevant if you are a voter out
there and you knew that. On the one hand, Jake
Tapper and Dana Bash had decided that they were going,
by the way, it's Dana. I don't know why they
pronounce it Dana, but whatever they had compared Trump to Hitler.
(09:41):
Would you think to yourselves. Oh, you know what, this
sounds like a duo that's going to be very fair.
And if you still are like, I'm not really sure
about this, here's Jake Tapper. Listen to how he reacted
to the twenty twenty election results live on the air
of CNN. Does this sound like a journalist or does
(10:01):
this sound like a left wing opinionist trying to pretend
that he is a journalist. Listen.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It's been a time of several significant and utterly avoidable failures,
most tragically, of course, the unwillingness to respect facts and
science and do everything that could be done to save
lives during a pandemic. It has been a time where
truth in fact we're treated with disdain.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It is a time of.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Cruelty, where official inhumanity such as child separation became the
official shameful policy of the United States. But now the
Trump presidency is coming to an end with so many
squandered opportunities and ruined potential, but also an era of
just plain meanness. It must be said, to paraphrase President Ford,
(10:44):
for tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long
national nightmare is over.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Their long national nightmare is over. Does that sound like
a journalist who is try to call right down the middle?
Does that sound like someone who is going to be
fair on Thursday during this ninety minute debate. Of course not. Now.
(11:11):
Some people are already and have been for some time,
saying Trump should never do this. I disagree. I think
the town hall is really important as a prologue to
what this might be. Like. Trump went toe to toe
with Caitlin Collins in a primetime televised town hall event
(11:34):
and came out the victor. I think when you walk
into the ring and you know that there are three
people arrayed against you in that gladiatorial combat scene, I
think this is an incredible opportunity for Trump to not
just triumph over Joe Biden, but to also put the
(11:56):
media on notice that he's not going to allow their
lies to be spread. And if you remember a good
analogy on the NBC debate, the veik Ramaswami early in
that debate, went right after Kristen Welker and the NBC
moderators for their lies. And some of you are going
(12:20):
to say, I don't like this, I'm not in favor
of this. You're already in the choir. So to speak.
Some preachers enjoy just talking to the choir, but if
you're really going to win an election, you have to
reach people that are outside of your congregation. And there
are going to be many people tuning in that have
(12:43):
believed a litany of lies about Donald Trump for years
and for ninety minutes. He has an opportunity to prove
to them that many of those lies are completely and
without doubt lies, and he has to do it with
everybody a ray against him. So I think setting the
(13:04):
parameters and making people aware of exactly what to expect
here is going to be really incredibly important again when
it comes to persuading the people outside of the congregation.
So I think this is so important. We'll take your calls,
by the way, eight hundred and two A two two
eight A two, continue to lay it out. I give
(13:26):
incredible praise to Caroline Levitt for her willingness to call
this out. And I think it's a sign of CNN's
weakness anytime you cancel someone. And if you want to
hear about cancelation, I'll play for you the last words
that I was ever allowed to say on CNN before
(13:46):
they banned me. I think you guys are going to
really enjoy that. It's a throwback. We'll play that for
you coming up in a moment. In the meantime. If
you listen to yesterday's Sunday Hang podcast, I talked about
how much I love going to the movies, especially with
my kids. Nothing better to me still than seeing a
really good movie on the big screen in a theater.
I still love the experience. New movie coming out this Friday.
(14:10):
It's called Horizon and American Saga and it stars Kevin Costner.
It's an American frontier movie. Values like bravery, courage, individuality, hope,
firm faith, the best is yet to come. We want
you to check it out, Horizon and American Saga. You
are going to really enjoy it because, especially Kevin Costner's involvement.
(14:33):
He's had Yellowstone Certainly, which many of you out there
watch and have seen over the past several years, the
incredible Oscar winning Dances with Wolves, which was so incredible.
With Kevin Costner, this is his latest epic tell of
the West. It's coming out, a story of courageous men
and women who sacrificed everything for their chance at the
(14:55):
American dream. Again. Kevin Costner stars in and direct the
epic tale of how the West Was Won. Don't miss it.
Horizon and American Saga Chapter one comes out this Friday,
just in time for the fourth of July holiday weekend.
Chapter two will come out later this summer in August.
(15:17):
On August sixteenth, Join the Frontier Past now at fandango
dot com for tickets. That's Horizon and American Saga coming
out this Friday.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Keep up with Clay and Bucks campaign coverage with twenty
four a Sunday highlight reel from the week. Find it
on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We roll through the
Monday edition of the show, Buck doing well. We'll be
(15:48):
back with us on Tuesday. And I want to mention
I'm gonna play the audio for you from CNN here
in a moment when we come back from the next segment.
But I wanted to make sure that I mentioned in
addition to the debate happening on Thursday in theory, there
are sixteen Supreme Court decisions that are going to be
made this week as well, so in addition to the
crazy rig Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, Shenanigan's debate that's going
(16:13):
on Thursday with no crowd ninety minutes, Biden still not
being seen publicly for a week as he prepares for this.
Doesn't that, by the way, give you a pretty good
sign that he's not capable of being president of the
United States if he has to prepare for a full
week to talk for thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Eight or thirty nine minutes on a stage. I'm not
saying I do a great job, but I feel very
confident that if you put me inside of Joe Biden's brain,
Let's pretend he had one and I had to speak
for thirty eight or thirty nine minutes in defense of
his administration without any prep at all, even disagreeing with
(16:54):
almost every choice that he has made, I could do
a much better job than he's going to do on
the debate stage on Thursday. Do any of you doubt
that if we had like a freaky Friday situation and
Joe Biden had to deputize me to be making every
argument for him with no prep, do any of you
doubt that I could do that job better than he could.
(17:16):
I don't think there's any doubt at all. The mere
fact that he's gonna have to take a week to
do this is a disaster for him. But when you
look at this, and I'm gonna talk about this more
when I come back this casey Cassie Hunt, whatever her
name is, on the morning show at CNN that nobody watches.
She did her network a disservice by the way that
(17:36):
she responded, because she turned it into a much bigger
story than it ever would have been if they had
just let Caroline Hunt make the arguments and point out
rightly that we're dealing with a rig job here. Her
response in cutting the mic of Caroline Levin, who's gonna
be with us at two, and not allowing her to speak,
(17:57):
actually made it infinitely bigger story than it would have
been otherwise. More people are going to be aware of
this bias now than ever would have before. Since nine
to eleven, Tunnel of the Towers Foundation has been committed
to supporting our nations first responders and veterans, heroes who
put their lives on the line for our communities and
our country. Heroes like US Army Major Jonathan Turnbull. He's
the same devastating injuries at the hands of an Isis suicide.
(18:20):
Bomber nearly lost his eyesight, required twenty surgeries in countless
hours of rehabilitation, Tunnel of the Towers paid off his mortgage,
gave him a specially adapted smart home. He moves around
that home more easily now. His home also gives him hope.
With help from people like you, The foundation supports families
like the Turnbulls joined Tunnel to the Towers and supporting
(18:40):
America's heroes, our nations, severely injured veterans and first responders,
homeless veterans, gold Star families, and more. Donate eleven dollars
a month to Tunnel to Towers at T two t
dot org. That's t the number two t dot org.
Ninety five cents of every dollar directly to the programs.
Welcome back in rolling through the Monday edition Clay Travis
(19:01):
buck Sexton Show. I've got some fun to discuss with
you at the end of the hour. My good friend
Jesse Kelly Balding, radio host in the evenings here, has
take an issue with my haircut. Some of you are
really big fans of the haircut. I got an email
from a nice woman who said Clay. I tuned in
to the Clay and Buck VIP because i'd heard you
(19:22):
talking about how bad your haircut was, and I think
she said it looked fabulous. And I have to track
down that email to respond to these attacks that are
rolling in on a regular basis ever since I got
that haircut from the barber on the street in Washington,
d C. While I was up visiting colleges with my
sixteen year old. Good thing about my hair, I'll just
(19:42):
point out to Jesse Kelly Balding, afternoon radio host, evening
radio show host on this network, unlike a Balding man,
my hair will grow back. But we will discuss this
a bit later in the meantime. Caroline Lovet Who's going
to join us. At the top of the third hour
of the program, Caroline Levitt canceled by CNN. They ended
(20:03):
the interview and they said, you're not allowed to even
discuss Jake Tapper and Dana Bash calling Donald Trump on
a regular basis, comparing him to Adolph Hitler and the
Nazi regime. They've made that a staple of their broadcasting careers,
and so it's fair to ask whether or not they
(20:25):
can be fair moderators and some of you out there again,
I'm blown up. Oh he should never be doing this.
He's going into the lions. Then he knows it. I
actually think, though, it's super smart strategy of Caroline to
call out the bias in advance, because it may dial
back the bias just a little bit, because now everyone
(20:45):
is attuned to the fact that Jake Tapper and Dana
Bash are regularly attacking Donald Trump. We played the audio
for you already, but I wanted to play you throwback style.
This is the story on this for those of you
who haven't heard this. In September of twenty seventeen, I
went on CNN to talk about my belief that the
(21:09):
marketplace of ideas should be powerful, and that the First
Amendment should already always triumph, and you shouldn't fire people
because you disagree with their opinions. That cancel culture should
not be a thing. I was actually defending Jamel Hill,
who had called Donald Trump a white supremacist. Not accurate,
(21:31):
not fair, dishonest. But I don't believe that in your
private life you should be fired for your political opinions.
I think all of you should be able to go
on Facebook. You should be able to go on Twitter, x, Instagram,
whatever the account is, and when you're not at work,
you should be able to tell your friends and family, hey,
(21:51):
I love Joe Biden. I think he's the greatest president
of all time. I think that you've got a broken
brain if you believe that, But I think you should
be able to say that, and certainly you should be
able to go and say, hey, I think you should
vote for Donald Trump. He did a fabulous job the
first time. I think he'll do a fabulous job the
second time. That is my opinion, much better choice than
Joe Biden. I think you should be able to say that,
(22:11):
or RFK Junior, or you could be a libertarian, or
you could be a Green Party person, or you could
be a Carnell West supporter or whatever when you're outside
of work, I think you should be able to share
your political opinions without fear of losing your job. I
went on CNN to make that argument. I had been
saying on my radio show, my sports talk radio show
(22:32):
for some time that the First Amendment was alive and
well on that show, and that callers should be able
to voice any opinion that they wanted. And I had
said as a joke instead of saying, hey, I'm a
First Amendment absolutist, which is kind of a phrase that
people get lost on sometimes hard. What does that mean?
You stumble over it? You don't really understand it. I
would say on my show regularly, there's only two things
(22:55):
that had never let me down, the First Amendment and boobsbs,
as you will hear momentarily on CNN, as a joking
way to make it clear that I was a supporter
of people being able to say whatever they want. And also,
by the way, I'm a heaterosexual man. It's kind of true,
but we would have fun with that phrase. I went
(23:16):
on CNN and I said it, here's a throwback to
twenty seventeen. I got cut off like Caroline Levitt, and
I am still banned from being able to appear on
CNN seven years later because of this interaction.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Listen, I'm a First Amendment absolutist. I believe in only
two things completely, the First Amendment and boobs, and so
once they made the decision.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
That they were not you believe.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
In the related commentary, I just want to make sure
I heard you correctly.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
As a woman anchoring the show, did.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You say, what did you just say?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
You believe in the First Amendment ends betwws.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Boobs, two things that have only never let me down
in this entire country's history. The First Amendment and boobso
are the only two things I believe in absolutely in
the country.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
I just want to make sure I'm hearing you correctly,
b oo ze or boobs, because as.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
A woman, I'm i'm us in boobs. I believe completely
in the First Amendment and in boobs. Those are the
only two things I believe one hundred percent in in
this country.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
And by the way, Jamelle hasn't actually sit in there.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Even say that live on national television and with a
female host.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I say it live on the radio all the time
because it's true. And that's what I do because I
like boobs and the First Amendment, which is exactly what
I said.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
All Right, she cut me off. I'm banned seven years later.
That's real. If you haven't seen it, it continues to
cycle through virally. The kids on TikTok now who are
like five or six years old when that happened. Now
they all see it. I got banned, like Caroline Levitt
got cut off. They said she could come back. I'm
still not allowed to appear on seeing it. But I
(24:57):
think two things that are important about that clip. One,
it's funny, so that's not the first thing I'm gonna
say it's important about it. But the first thing is
from that clip they wanted me to immediately apologize. You
could see her try to play identity politics with me
as a woman. How dare you say this on CNN?
What women don't know? That is cleavage? A new thing?
(25:18):
Are women unaware that men are attracted to boobs? Is
this a stunning revelation that I provided, and by the way,
a comedic way, right, They wanted me to immediately say,
I'm sorry, I apologize, I'll bend the need to you.
Why would I do that? And even the other guest
there was like, I'm astounded, I can't believe. And what
by the way, the other guest turned out he had
(25:40):
way worse things that he had said on social media
about women. Of course, right, because it's all fake and
I did it. I owned it. So One, you can
never apologize. You certainly can never apologize for a joke
or something that you're doing to add levity to a situation,
as I was doing. Two, I give tremendous credit here.
The reason I'm on this radio program talking to you
(26:01):
right now is because I have the same boss that
I had then, Julie Talbot, who was Russia's boss. I
had just started doing sports talk radio for Julie Talbot
when that happened. And you probably won't be stunned by this,
but that was the peak of cancel culture. Many people
demanded that I'd be fired for going on CNN and
(26:23):
saying that, and Julie Talbot in Premier Networks, who distributes
our show and distributed Russia show, got a ton of heat.
And I'll always remember Julie Talbot's first response. I love her,
but I had just started working for her at the
time they brought this to her. She's dealing with crisis
controversy all the time. She manages everybody across the political spectrum.
(26:48):
They brought it to her in her first response was well,
I've heard much worse. And I would go through a
fire for that woman from that point forward, because she
stood up for me when I was still a new
employee for her. I hadn't been doing the sports talk
radio show for much more than a year. Maybe at
(27:08):
that point in time, and so when she came to
me and to Buck and she said, we want you
guys to be stepping in behind the golden microphone, taking
over and working to advance the audience that Rush built here.
I don't think I would have taken this job if
I hadn't known already that she was our boss, and
(27:29):
that she had a steel spine, and that she was
going to have our back no matter what when people
came after us, because this, as you can well imagine,
is the biggest radio platform in the country. I loved
doing sports talk radio. We were killing it in the mornings.
I was apprehensive about making the change. I love. Three
(27:51):
years in, we just had our three year anniversary. I
loved the choice that I made and the fact that
Buck and I have been able to have so much
fun and hopefully engage educate so many of you in
continuing to fight for what we believe in. But I
wouldn't have done it without Julie as the boss. And
I think it's so instructive there of what they try
to do. They will try to take you out when
(28:13):
they can, and I've said this on the radio program
for a long time. They come for you, those of
you who listen to Rush. Know this, You know what
Rush went through over his thirty three year career. Sitting here.
They oftentimes come for you, and they don't come for
you necessarily based on the opinion that you think they will.
(28:34):
They find something where they think you're weak, or they
find a pressure point and they come and they try
to end you because they don't like what we're saying.
They don't truly like the marketplace of ideas. And I
think that's so interesting. I do Fox News hits a lot.
I don't remember Fox News turning the microphone off a guest.
(28:55):
Maybe it's happened, certainly never happened to me, And no
one at Fox News and Julie Talbot and no one
at Ihearten Premiere has ever said to me you can't
say this, Clay, or we need you to not talk
about this issue. It's never happened in my entire career.
I can't speak for everyone else, but to me, that's
the ultimate test. Do you or do you not trust
(29:16):
the voice that you're hearing, Because as soon as somebody
is co opted in any way by bosses, management, advertisers,
any sort of situation where you feel like, no, they're
not telling me what they really think. You should turn
us off. I mean, honestly, any voice that you hear,
as soon as you have reason to believe that they
(29:37):
are not telling you exactly what they think every day
from the honest, deepest soul of their character, I really
believe you should turn them off. And there are a
lot of people in media who are frauds. It's the truth.
Julie Talbot, I think has a great sensibility for who
is being honest, who's telling true stories every single day.
(29:59):
And that moment that I just shared with you, I
was thinking about it this morning as the Caroline Levitt
drama has grown and she's going to join us at
Too Eastern. It's why I'm talking to you today. It's
why you've been listening to me for the last three years.
Because I had an opportunity to bend the knee there.
Julie Talbot had an opportunity to say, Hey, I don't
need this guy associated with my programming anymore. Let's rip
(30:21):
the chord. Let's get rid of him. She stood behind me.
She knows what I do on a daily basis. She
knew where I was coming from. She has a sense
of humor, she's unlike CNN. She's not going to try
to cut somebody's mic. And that's why premiere and iHeart
if people across the spectrum. Lots of people who disagree
with everything I say. Heck, I think iHeart distributes Keith Oberman,
(30:42):
and I think basically he's an insane man. But if
people want to hear Keith Oberman's opinion, I think they should.
I think you should be able to make it a
living on his opinion, whether you're far left, far right,
wherever the heck you are on the political spectrum. Hell,
if you're a political in many ways, if you're entertaining
on the radio and in audio, I think you should
be able to make a living. And that's become an
(31:04):
old fashioned view, but I'm confident that we're in a
better place now than we were into twenty seventeen because
of people like Rush, because of people like Julie Talbot,
and because CNN's audience continues to diminish. Why. Because I
think people have realized they're not honest, they're not telling
you the truth, and over time, the truth wins. I
(31:25):
really do believe I'm an optimist in that way. I
do believe that over time, the truth wins. I think
Russia's career is an example of that. I think my
career has been an example that Bock's career is an
example of that. And you guys are the ultimate arbiters
every single day. But my goodness, thank the Lord for
Julie Talbot. She's amazing. And if you haven't seen that
clip and you want to be entertained, it's even better,
(31:47):
trust me on video. And I'm still one hundred percent
of proponent of the First Amendment and boobs. Speaking of
heterosexual men, you know that testosterone is at an all
time low in this country. It's certainly at an all
time low at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. I don't know
that men employed in the White House have ever had
(32:09):
a lower level of testosterone than right now. Heck, the
John F. Kennedy Democrats, I bet they had triple the
testosterone that the Joe Biden Democrats. The men in the
White House have right now. Just look at their policies,
Just look at their lack of energy, vitality, vigor. Joe
Biden can't even walk across the lawn. We really do
(32:31):
need to send him a bunch of chalk Thursday. I
think you're going to see a major energy difference. Even
if they shoot up Joe Biden with all sorts of drugs,
which I do believe they're gonna do. I think he's
gonna be hopp I don't think he's gonna be able
to sleep for three days after that debate. They're gonna
give him so much Jack, I don't even know all
it's all gonna be. Maybe they're gonna give him all chalk. Look,
(32:53):
get hooked up right now. If you don't have the
energy you used to, if you don't feel like you
have the same testosterone level that you used to three months,
time you take chalk every day, twenty percent increase in
your natural testosterone levels. Check it out for yourself. The
Male Vitality Stack also have a female Vitality stack. By
the way, Chalk dot com choq dot com use my
(33:14):
name Clay as the promo code. That's chalk dot com,
my name Clay as the promo code. You can also

call than you would get on the internet, and I
certainly understand that US based customer service team. They can

(33:37):
you will be glad that you did again. Chalk dot com.
Choq dot com. You tell them Clay sent you C

in boobs, and you'll probably be entertaining the caller screeners

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. I'm listening
to Jerry Seinfeld during the commercial break react to a
heckler during an Australian comedy show that he was doing.
You need to play that audio for you before the
show is out because Seinfeld, who is an apolitical guy,
(34:31):
has really found his voice surrounding the October seventh terror attacks.
He's spoken out a little bit over the years about
the fact that comedy's not as entertaining as it used
to be. And I've been arguing for years In fact,
I wrote it in one of my books that the
right should become the party that likes jokes. I wrote
(34:52):
it in my most recent book, even if sometimes you're
the butt of the joke, laughing is good and the
left has decided that comedy is too offensive. And there
are a lot of comedians that recognize that this is
a total mess that we have created where everybody's running
(35:13):
around worried about whether the next joke is going to
offend somebody or not. And I think there's a huge
amount of allies in the comedic space. Adam Carolla certainly
is one of them, and I give him credit for
being so outspoken. The Man Show is one of the
funniest shows that's ever aired on comedy television in my opinion,
(35:35):
certainly on cable back in the day. He and Jimmy
Kimmel were fabulous that show. I think would be even
more popular today because what I'm seeing is and this
is why I'm optimistic. I was talking about the reason
I get to do this show. But the reason I'm
so optimistic is I've got three teenage boys. What I
hear from their generation when their kids, when they're around
(35:59):
and they're having conversations, you know, you kind of hear
their conversations as a parent. I think that they uniquely,
and I'm talking about young boys in particular right now,
of all races, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, recognize how much
BS this woke PC culture world we have created, and
I believe they are going to push back strongly. And
(36:22):
I don't think it's coincidentally. You go on TikTok now
pro Trump content dominates pro Biden content, and that's a
lot of young people out there. They're recognizing with their
BS detectors how much of what has been sold to
them is total crap, and they're going to push back
against it. I think in a big way, maybe as
early as twenty four
