Clay Travis
Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show kicks off right now. Appreciate you being with us. A lot to dove into right now as we're talking to you. President Trump is speaking to the nation. He is in the Oval Office. He's doing a sit down with the president of the Philippines and they're covering a whole range of topics and that is in real time as I'm speaking to you. Trump right now laying into the Russia hoax as the biggest scandal in history. And we'll bring you some of the key sound bites from this meeting. Also discussion from the president, from our president, right there's the Philippine president. There's President Trump sitting side by side but of more cooperation, military cooperation with the Philippines and Trump saying we're going to have more missiles than we've ever had before. Slow missiles, fast missiles, big missiles, small missiles. So we've got that to dive into and we'll bring you some of it. Hunter Biden, the interview he did is actually getting a lot of attention. And now Clay is not the only person that I have heard who thinks that he might see a role for himself in politics. I still, I just want to say I still think this is crazy, but there's a little voice in my head that says, oh my gosh, there's a small chance that Clay actually may be onto something with this one and I will be the crazy one for, for having missed it. But we, we shall see. We'll talk.
- [02:33]
I want him to run. Let me be Clear. And I don't think he has any chance to be the nominee. But I'm just saying the only thing that adds up here to me is Hunter thinks he is the savior of his family and that there is actually a demand for him in a way that every other Democrat basically is like, no, no, no. We just want to pretend the Biden era never happened. I think Hunter thinks he should run. I think that's what Hunter has got in his head.
- [02:58]
That would be, it would be the craziest thing in American politics in terms of somebody wanting to or deciding to run again since Anthony Weiner, post conviction. Oh yeah, post criminal sex crime, decided that he was going to run for the mayor of New York City. And then that, that faded out rather, rather quickly. So the Hunter Biden thing, it is interesting to see Hunter describing the differences between crack cocaine and other forms. He, he is like a chemist. He actually has some real domain knowledge. Not about, say, international energy agreements where he was being paid by Burisma as a consultant. But you know, if the cartels were paying this guy, I would have understood that because he knows a lot about drugs. It's pretty impressive when he breaks it down. We'll, we'll bring you some of those, of those clips. The whole Hunter thing, though is I am surprised. I thought the Bidens were, I thought the Bidens were done. But you know, one thing, Clay, that I think we now all have to be ready for in American politics is that for people, for people who have been in the big game or near the big game in some capacity, they'll never accept that they're done. Look at Joe Biden. For people who have just even gotten a taste of what it is to be truly in power, they think that there's always a lane, always a role for them. And I think that Hunter Biden, yes, he's a recovering addict and all that. He's just an example. An example of that. We've also got just a few other odds and ends to throw in here before we get into some of the Trump stuff, Clay, Speaker Mike Johnson gonna shut down the House until September. They're not gonna have a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Doj. I believe the number two at doj or somebody close to the number two is going to possibly have a conversation with Ghislaine Maxwell, the co conspirator along with Jeffrey Epstein who is still alive in custody. So that story is getting some attention. And then Trump, on the late night TV removal of Stephen Colbert, Trump wrote this, Clay, the word is, and It's a strong word at that. Jimmy Kimmel is next to go in the untalented late night sweepstakes and shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. These are people with no talent, paid millions of dollars for destroying what used to be great television. Really good to see them go. I hope I played a major part in it, Trump. Not just defeating them, but salting the earth under their feet. Clay.
- [05:36]
I still can't believe that they've decided to make a martyr out of Stephen Colbert, who's making somewhere between 15 or 20 million dollars a year, whose show is losing 40 million dollars a year and somehow that he is a martyr because he was fired. I mean, look, if this show was losing any money at all, I would expect that we would get fired. I just would any show that I have ever done, any let go of my life.
- [06:03]
We'd be, we did. We'd be. We'd be gently let go.
- [06:06]
Let go. I have never been on any show to my knowledge that has. Has lost money relative.
- [06:15]
I've been at media companies that were losing money and everybody starts getting fired. So that's not.
- [06:20]
I have. That's what I have been. I have been fired. That's one reason I started out kick. And yes, Buck might prefer the euphemism left go, but let go. But let go implies that you had an option to continue to hold on. I didn't have an option to continue.
- [06:35]
I've pulled the, the Indiana Jones running in front of the boulder a few times and just grabbed the hat. But it was like if I didn't leave, the doors were closing and they were padlocking them. So I've had that a few times.
- [06:49]
So look, I just. Anyone who works in media at some point in time, if your product doesn't make money, they find somebody who they think can make money. I can't even imagine having the arrogance to be doing a show that is losing $40 million a year. $40 million a year and then to be arguing, oh, the only reason I'm being fired is because I've been too critical of President Trump. No, you're being fired because they. That $40 million that the company is losing on your show could be allocated to hire a lot more people who could do a lot more profitable work.
- [07:33]
I'm just, yeah, I've always been. I'm not a big late night guy in general. And the more you learn about how important sleep is, now I'm being really boring. The more you realize going to bed earlier is doing yourself a huge favor whenever you can Whenever you can. Just saying. But Jay Leno, whom I always liked more than Letterman, although I was a casual watcher at best. I mean, I saw it, but I was like, I would watch it kind of by accident if I was up at night. I can't say. But I really never would. Anyway. Leno producer Ali pulled this yesterday because I thought this is true. Leno took a substantial pay cut.
- [08:05]
Yeah.
- [08:06]
To keep staff, to keep his team around. Nothing like that. Trust me, if Colbert's agent had something like that to throw out there at this point, now's when these stories would all come out. Colbert making 15 million a year. Let's call it 15 million. Clay.
- [08:21]
While.
- [08:22]
While the. While the show is losing 40 million. He would know the show is losing $40 million. It's obscene. Obscene greed.
- [08:29]
And to let people behind the curtains. I don't know how many people publicly talked about this. I took a pay cut. You took a pay cut during COVID so that we could. We have contracts so that we could avoid having to let go people who worked on. I did a sports talk show at the time. You did a political show. We took substantially less. And by the way, so did a lot of our bosses. So did a lot of people out there. When times got tough during COVID and you didn't know what in the world was going to happen, the first thing people do. So I think people understand this in some ways, but when people start to feel like a recession is coming, one of the first things that companies do is spend less money on advertising. And so it hits what we do faster than a lot of other places. So when Covid happened, which was this cataclysm where suddenly everybody's like, hey, we're going to. There's only essential, non essential businesses. Everything else, we took huge pay cuts to maintain in some way the show's ability to continue to employ staff. And so I. You don't get to losing $40 million. It doesn't happen rapidly. You have to work your way up to losing $40 million. So I would think that pathway towards losing that amount of money is been rapid and has been gradual. Right. In other words, there's lots of time where you could have reversed the direction that the ship was headed, so to speak. Also, why did nobody say, hey, we're spending a hundred million dollars on this show and we're losing. I bet they spend. This is just my guess. I bet they spend 20 million total if that on Gutfeld. So Gutfeld, which is also in a New York City studio, which also has a Live audience. Some of you watch that on Fox News. I don't know why they didn't just say, hey, why don't we just rent a much smaller studio space, have a much smaller live audience, dial back the overall expenditures in a way that would allow this program to at least break even. I bet that they fought back against that idea because it would be seen as a, as a lack of endorsement of the show. But I think that this is likely true. I think all late night shows are going to be gone. I think Trump is going to ultimately triumph in a way that is pretty unbelievable over his harshest critics everywhere at msnbc, cnn, late night television. I think they're all going to lose their jobs and Trump's going to be more powerful than ever.
- [10:59]
Yeah, well, CNN has been destroyed by Trump. The brand will never recover. The late night hosts I think have been, are in process of all being defenestrated from their privileged purchase.
- [11:12]
Look at you. Mr. Yeah, thank you.
- [11:16]
I'm impressed he does what he does. And I think that Trump has done a tremendous service for the American people just by exposing how many of these media outlets, how many of these so called news organizations or even so called comedians or comedic enterprises are really just smug propaganda. And there's no reason for these things. They're not being supported by the marketplace. They're really, you know, let's just say it, Clay, late night TV sort of turned into the WNBA of the television world. Subsidized.
- [11:51]
Yep.
- [11:52]
Yeah, subsidized by other actually profitable ventures within the company. And for what? Why?
- [12:01]
Yeah, I think that the analogy, I made that analogy yesterday on one of our outkick shows. The WNBA lost $40 million last year. It's the same amount as Stephen Colbert and the protest. The players came out and pay us what you owe us T shirts. Well, if you got actually paid what you were owed, as we discussed yesterday, you would actually give it a pink slip. Teams.
- [12:21]
Yeah.
- [12:22]
You'd be sent home money.
- [12:23]
Yeah, you would actually no longer have a job if you were paid what you were owed because you were owed nothing if you work for the wnba. But nonetheless it is effectively like a charity. It's a, it's a, it's a DEI women's sports charity is what the WNBA as a pure business venture operates as now maybe that's changing now, you know, because of some of the visibility that it gets. But on the late night TV host these late night comedians, this is a major cultural shift and it also proves once again that what the right has been saying for over 20 years, which is they, these are, there's left wing dominance in these media outlets. It's not about the profit motive. You know, they used to get away with saying, well, this is what the audience wants. This. It's not about the profit motive. A lot of these places, whether it's Hollywood studios you're talking about depends on the movie, or you're talking certainly about the news organizations. They are ideologically driven first on many of these decisions in many of these ways. And you see that with late night comedy. And I remember what a, what a successful weapon the Daily show was against the Bush administration. And I did watch the Daily show pretty frequently when I was in college. And the Daily show gave people who didn't want to really engage with the facts the ability to think that everybody who disagreed with them was an idiot. Well, that may feel like fun at the time, but it's actually not good for discourse. So I think that this is all to the good and we'll talk more about, about some of this and also what Trump has had to say here about the referral and Russia collusion. Clay, I have found an answer, and it's one of the things that I offered up here as what would they, what would they actually charge them with? We can address that.
- [14:09]
Oh, good. So you went deep diving into the criminal files.
- [14:13]
Yes, but it's, it's what I said, which is we're going. It is not. This is the law, is the law so much as it is due unto others, as they have done unto you. And that is the approach that I think could, could. That's the only way they could find a charge here. I'll, I'll explain more later. You know, no organization out there looks after the lives of unborn babies the way that preborn does. Their commitment to working with pregnant mothers who are contemplating an abortion is steadfast. Day in and day out, they want to give that mom the better choice, the better option of life for that baby. Preborn made it possible for more than 65,000 unborn children to realize life. Last year alone, the team of people working there at preborn clinics provide pregnant moms with assistance. And it all starts off with the gift of a free ultrasound. Because that ultrasound, which the mom doesn't pay a dollar for, lets her meet her unborn child, use science to create that divine connection between mother and child. She hears the heartbeat, sees the movements of the child within her. And so often, that is the turning point, and that is when a life is saved. Preborn operates clinics in our nation where abortion rates are highest, specifically to save as many lives as possible. They need you, the pro life community. They need your help. They get no government money whatsoever. To donate securely, dial pound250 say the keyword baby. That's pound250 say baby or visit preborn.com buck preborn.com Buck sponsored by Preborn Saving.

Clay Travis
Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. We should also update you on the ongoing rolling press conference that is Trump 2.0. President Trump in the Oval Office and he's going pretty hard in the paint here. Let me go ahead and play this audio. We'll react to it a bit and we'll let Buck dive into his. What criminal charges could potentially be coming Here is. Let's start with this one. Cut 26. Trump says Obama committed treason over Russiagate. He's guilty. It's not a question at all. This is cut 26. Just happened in the Oval Office.
- [17:36]
Donald Trump
If you look at that those papers, they have a stone cold. And it was President Obama. It wasn't lots of people all over the place. It was them too. But the leader of the gang was President Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? And except for the fact that he gets shielded by the press for his entire life, that's the one they look he's guilty. It's not a question. You know, I like to say let's give it time. It's there. He's guilty. They this was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election, they tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined. Even in other countries, you've seen some pretty rough countries. This man has seen some pretty rough countries, but you've never seen anything like that. And we have all of the documents and from what Tulsi told me, she's got thousands of additional documents coming. So President Obama, it was his concept, his idea, but he also got it from crooked Hillary Clinton. Crooked is a three dollar bill. Hillary Clinton and her group, the Democrats, spent $12 million to Christopher Steele to write up a report that was the total fake report. Took two years to figure that out, but it came out that it was a total fake report. It was made up fiction.
- [18:56]
Clay Travis
Okay, so Trump going hard after the Russia collusion hoax, which you know a lot about, Buck, because you were intimately involved through the intelligence agencies. Analyzing this back in the day for cnn. We talked about it yesterday and we'll dive into this at the bottom of the hour. But do you believe you have found charges that could be brought of a criminal nature against any of these people?
- [19:18]
Yes, if you want to get creative, this is just. We do to them what they did, what they did to us, so to speak. And it's, I mentioned this before. It would be 18 USC 242 federal statute, deprivation of rights under color of law. That's the one they may, I don't know if they'll be able to make that.
- [19:45]
Let's talk about the analysis of this legally because the advantage they have, which we do not have, is they have the kangaroo court in D.C. which will indict Republicans for anything. Could you get indictments against Democrats here? That's the question.
- [20:01]
The Trump administration is focused on making our economy zoom. We know that much. We see evidence of it in the quarterly results that were just posted on Wall street this week. But I'm betting the Trump administration is going to continue to do great things. I know you are too. You need to take action for yourself. Yourself though this is on you as an individual because even if the economy is great, you've got to be making smart moves for yourself and your family. That's why I think gold makes so much sense. Gold is an appreciating asset of 40 in the past year. Central banks from other countries continue to bolster the demand for gold by buying in record quantities. Birch Gold Group is who I trust for my gold. They can convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA and physical gold. That's right, the Birch Gold Group, my friends. Check them out today. Text Buck to 98. 98 98. Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on Gold. Text b u c k to 9898. 98. Remember, you can have an old IRA or 401k transition to a physical gold IRA with birch gold. All right, welcome back in. So President Trump was just talking in the Oval Office with, well, with the whole nation, but he was sitting next to the President of the Philippines and he covered a whole range of topics, right? This is, this is the nature of a Trump press conference. It's never the message. Staying on message for Trump is whatever the heck he feels like in the moment. Talking about that is, that is on message when you're dealing with Trump. The message is whatever he wants. There's no, there's no script, there's no roadway ahead. He covered a lot of things and the media obviously was pushing him in a bunch of different directions. But let's do, let's first take a look here at the focus. Now, this comes after the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard came out with more information, released new information showing that the CIA was well aware that Russia didn't steal the election for Trump. Clay shared out this morning on X. I saw like two minutes of just people across all the Democrat news sites and, and channels saying that Russia hacked the election. And I always thought that was such a weasel word to use. What does that mean, hacked the election? That what they wanted it. What they're saying is Russia involved itself in some way, but they want people to believe that Russia actually hacked the voting machines, which they did not do. And there was never any evidence or proof of that whatsoever. But 70% of Democrats going two years into Trump's first term, you know that? Click. 70% of Democrats believe that Russia actually got into the voting machines to help Trump beat Hillary.
- [22:37]
They're so smart with the verbs that they use often. Because hacked the election can be a broad term of like, oh, well, they hacked a few emails. Hacked the election is clearly a phrase that is intended to tell you they changed the outcome of the election. Right? Because otherwise, like, who cares? First of all, we try to hack almost every election that takes place in any country in the world that we care about this whole idea that we have clean hands. Right. How in the world. I mean, you could speak to this probably, but, but I always love this, like, the idea that America just sits back and we have absolutely no involvement in elections around the world. We probably, to be fair, are the number one actor involved in elections around the world. Uh, so this idea that we are clean hands here, but yes, of course, our adversaries attempt to get involved in many different things that we do in the country. And hacked the election is clearly intended to send the message that Trump would have lost but for Russia, and that.
- [23:40]
Russia actually actively hacked. Right. It's a little bit, you could say someone's biohacking if they, you know, have like a snack that's dates and maple syrup or something. If you turn on Instagram. Now, everyone's, by the way, 90% of these people, especially if they're guys. 90% of these people who are telling you how to improve your health and whatever. And I'm somebody who, as you know, has gone on a fitness journey for a year now and lost about 40 pounds. 90% of them are just taking steroids and lying to you about it. Just so you know, this is. Don't. Don't. You don't have to.
- [24:09]
Or.
- [24:09]
Or some form of enhancement, whether it's, you know, elevated levels of TRT or whatever. So just whenever you see some guy with a six pack, he's like, this is what I eat in a day. And you're like, that guy looks like Leonidas from the movie 300. It's not because he had a couple of banana slices in the morning or whatever, or it's not because he had his, you know, yogurt and yogurt parfait before dinner. It's because he's taking stuff he's not telling you about. I'd say nine out of ten of those guys are doing that. Put that aside for a second. That's just a free. That's just a little free. Free insight for any of you out there who are on Instagram or TikTok these days. What would it look like if there were? Oh, before we get to the charges, President Trump spoke about this. Here he is, Crooked Democrats, Barack Hussein Obama. He loves to throw in the Hussein part. This is cut 29. Play it.
- [24:54]
Donald Trump
Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right there with him, and so was sleepy Joe Biden, and so were the rest of them. Comey Clapper, the whole group. And they tried to rig an election and they got caught. And then they did rig the election in 2020. And then, because I knew I won that election by a lot, I did it a third time, and I won in a landslide. Every swing state won the popular vote, but I won that all the same way in 2020. And look at the damage that was caused.
- [25:27]
Clay Travis
Clay. He's not moving on at all from the 2020 election was stolen. And in fact, he's saying that there was a effectively a treasonous conspiracy to undo the 2016 election. And he wants accountability for this. And this is what the current president of the United States is saying. And he has been one thing about him on this stuff, he has been consistent on how PO'd he is on this for a long time.
- [25:52]
Let's cut to the chase because I think a lot of people out there are going to say, okay, we've heard this for years. I think the evidence is out there that supports that this did occur. There's no doubt that they manufactured and in some way exaggerated the amount that Russia was involved in the impact that they had, even in the verb choices that they used in the testimony that they put forward. So here's the question that I have you mentioned what the charges could be. They would have to go through a D.C. grand jury. D.C. as we know, votes Democrat 95%. Here is my statement to you. And if I'm wrong, we'll grab this and we will play it and I will admit that I am completely wrong. And you guys can tap dance on my idiocy. There's no way that a D.C. grand jury is indicting Barack Obama for anything. It will not happen.
- [26:50]
So you not only will also wouldn't it be when he was, when he was president. We've already established, right. I mean the charges against Obama would deal with when, you know, Hillary, Trump. We're talking 2016 election now. And we've already well established under Trump that you actually can't be charged for conduct in office. So I think the hurdle there is higher than.
- [27:12]
That's. That's a great point. The pre, as we said, the Supreme Court has given ample protection of presidents that benefited Trump and would benefit Obama here. But let's pretend that they are charging him for non presidential actions. Like let's pretend that they find out that Obama, after he left the presidency, this occurred in I guess it would be like January, late January 2017, February 2017. I do not believe, leave aside statute of limitations too. I do not believe that there is a jury in Washington D.C. a grand jury that would indict Barack Obama for virtually any crime. So you can say, hey, we want to put out more information. You can say, hey, we're investigating all this stuff. Obama basically lives in D.C. right. He's never left. So you would have to find a venue where you could charge him I don't see how he could be charged for a crime outside of D.C. and I don't think that the grand jury that sits typically in D.C. would indict Barack Obama for anything. Now, Hillary's in New York and she's never been president. So if you were trying to get an indictment against Hillary, you would either have to do it in New York or in D.C. that seems highly unlikely, too. Why do I bring this up? I believe, and I understand the frustration over all the lies that were told over what I think could be accurately termed to be criminal behavior. I don't think there's going to be any consequences for it. I'm just telling people, if I'm wrong, I, I will, I will own it. But legally, we didn't coordinate this beforehand.
- [28:50]
Just so you know, this is. Independently. We both came to this. And I, I just don't. I don't see it happening unless they get very creative within the legal process. I would just note, Clay, that the way, though, that the other side will get very creative with these, with charges is actually on display with a case that hasn't gotten a lot of attention in conservative media. A lot more focus on Epstein, Russia, collusion, other things. But remember the Breonna Taylor case, which was a huge part of the BLM narrative, and the police officer, a police officer, rather, who was. This just happened earlier today, was sentenced to 33 months in prison for violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor. Now, you may be the Trump doj. The conviction had already happened. The Trump DOJ had said to the judge, hey, look, this guy. This is preposterous. Basically, this guy should get one day in jail. It's basically time served, like, let him out. And the judge in the case decided to give him a full three years, basically just shy of three years in federal prison. He didn't even shoot her. He shot in response to a guy shooting at the cops. They said, police, open up. I mean, I remember this Breonna Taylor case. They thought the guy, you know, and there's all this story and all this evidence, you look at it, that there were packages being dropped off at the house. This wasn't like they just went into the wrong house. They thought that she was. The police believed that Breonna Taylor, her premises was being used for drug dealing. That was, that was what they got their warrant on. So they knock at the door and the guy starts shooting through the door at the cops.
- [30:42]
Yep.
- [30:43]
Who did he really. Who did he really think he was shooting at everybody? He just thought, oh, it was drug dealers that had come to rob him. Really? Did the drug dealers say, you know, police, open up. But the guy who just got three, almost three years in federal prison, the Trump DOJ wanted one. They wouldn't have even brought the case, but I believe the conviction had already happened. This guy, I think state charges, by the way, Clay, also were not brought up against this guy. He shot through the window in response to the gunfire at him. That's what this cop did. So he returned fire and shot through a window to try to hit the guy who was shooting and did hit one of his fellow police officers. And they charged him with violating Breonna Taylor's civil rights.
- [31:24]
Yeah.
- [31:25]
What is that?
- [31:27]
Yeah.
- [31:30]
He didn't shoot her. Just to be clear, he didn't even hit her. So by shooting through the window in response to somebody else who's trying to kill you and your fellow officers, the Biden era doj and this judge now think you should go to prison for years. It's outrageous.

I agree. Um, and they had multiple cases, they had mistrials. They had a variety of different stories that came out for people out there who maybe just don't remember what happened on that day, is that the Louisville police officer said they announced themselves before entering the home, were immediately met with gunfire. According to the statement, Walker discharged his firearm first, injuring an officer. Uh, Walker claimed this is the individual inside of the home, that he thought someone was entering the residence illegally. 911 call said, somebody kicked in the door, shot my girlfriend. Uh, so all of this came out of it. And look, the. The upshot of it is it happened on March 13, 2020, right in the midst of the BLM era beginning. Yeah.

So they fed.
- [32:40]
They fed these.
- [32:40]
They fed these cops to the angry mob is what happened. We all see exactly what happened here. This was just. Oh, my gosh, we're having a racial reckoning. What can we do? The cops were under fire, and one of them was actually shot, and they returned fire. It was an accident that Breonna Taylor was hit. They were not trying to shoot her. But if somebody. I spend a fair amount of time with guns, a fair amount of time shooting. I tell you this, Clay, somebody is shooting at me. I am shooting back, and I'm a pretty good shot, but under fire. Nobody knows how. I've never been shot at, and nobody knows how good they are at dealing with that until they have to. Your adrenaline dump goes through, you know, puts your adrenaline through the roof. And to charge though, with, you know, he was acquitted on state Charges so he's acquitted this officer. And then they bring federal charges of deprivation of rights, which is what they always do when they want to get these cops, which is just this kind of catch all for like, you know, racial reckoning. We need after George Floyd or whatever he is, a mistrial on that one. And they bring it again. They bring this again after a mistrial and an acquittal so desperate. And you know why? Because they worry that, you know, in the low income areas of Louisville there would be whole neighborhoods burned or, you know, whole stores burned down and blocks burned down if they didn't at least put one cop away for this. That's just the truth.

I think your point yesterday about the amount of cameras on police, basically we haven't had a BLM incident since we have had cameras on police. Doesn't mean that police are not going to do things wrong. Everybody in their profession can screw up, but it's pretty evident when a cop acts well outside the bounds of police authority and most people don't defend them. But most of the time when you see these videos, you're like, yeah, the cop had a reason to be defending himself or herself in the manner in which they did. Look, one of the least talked about, unfortunately, most important legal documents, a will. And oftentimes you never know when that will or trust is going to become incredibly important. I'm 46 years old. I've got a will and a trust. Buck has got a will and a trust. In fact, I did when I had my first son. We had our first kid. He's now 17 years old. I was 28. I was relatively young. And I said, hey, I want to get will and trust in place. When I did my life insurance, hey, I don't know what's going to happen to me. I don't know how long I'll live. I want to make sure that I'm doing everything I can to help take care of my kids. And so I've gone through the process of putting a will and a trust in place. I hope that I have a very long life to come. But who knows? We never know when our time is up. And if you are like me and you spend a lot of time thinking about what's going to happen after you're gone. You think about your kids, you think about your family, you think about trying to make things as easy for them as possible. One of the best things you can do, dad or mom out there, Grandma, grandpa, is get a will and trust. And a lot of people, I think only 30% of people have even gone through the problem of doing this and it doesn't take very long. Good news. You can get hooked up really easy.

Welcome back in Clay Travis. Buck Sexton show if you are watching on video and we will put this up as a YouTube short. Buck and his three month old son now on the screen and the kid is a cutie. I think I said yesterday he has started to put on some LBs. He is in chubby baby stage. I think it's fair to say.

I thought he would be qb. He's looking more like a lineman these days.
- [37:47]
Looking more and more like a lineman. I love this because I love to see in real time the growth. We just went over 85,000 YouTube subscribers. I said I just wanted to get us over a hundred. I think I started talking about it last week. Basically every time I say this we add several thousand YouTube subscribers. So I'm asking you guys.
