Buck Sexton (5:28)

You reminded me, I meant to mention yesterday about how climate change has vanished. Sunday New York Times magazine cover, why does no one talk about climate change now that's hilarious.

Clay Travis (5:39)

I've been saying this for weeks. That's.

Buck Sexton (5:40)

I mean, I meant to bring it up yesterday because I was reading the Sunday New York Times. I do it so you don't have to much like buck. This brand new Kamala Harris first edition is going to be reading it so you don't have to.

Clay Travis (5:50)

Is it a sign edition? I don't know. It will be when Clay goes to the book event, though.

Buck Sexton (5:55)

It was a huge cover story. And again, I'm paraphrasing, but it basically this Sunday was why do we not talk about climate change anymore? Have we just given up? You know, you know, you're true, you're correct that it has vanished.

Clay Travis (6:10)

It went from the thing that they were obsessed with that we didn't care about at all to nobody cares about it to now they're going to pretend they care again. Sort of like also the war in Ukraine. Where are all those Ukraine flags? Ukraine needs the libs that care so much about who controls Donbas now more than ever. And yet not seeing a lot of that. Not seeing a lot. Almost like this is a thing that people attach themselves to so that they can feel good about themselves without any actual skin in the game or doing anything. Ok, certainly true of climate change, I might add. But we will talk more about what Trump has said at the United Nations. We'll certainly discuss Kamala's book, which is, I got to say, it's just everybody just trashing this thing so far. And I don't mean to be clear, usually this book would come out from a Democrat who had just run and if she had a future, not going to argue with Clay over this today, but we all know how we feel about this. If she had a future, there would be a lot of people in the Democrat establishment who were saying, you know, oh, man, like, it just was so tough for her. And, and, you know, she's, she's a great candidate and everyone's saying, wow, she's kind of nasty and. And really not. Not so good. And we'll talk about some of the clips and some of her promo for the book. And yes, I did buy a copy of it, which I feel guilty about, but I had to do it. Team, you know, that. That. That just is one of these things. I will take one for the team. I don't know what else to tell you, so I'm doing that. And we've also got. What else is in the mix here? YouTube.

Buck Sexton (7:41)

YouTube diving in. This is going to be a big story going forward because it just is. Yet another thing that we were right about and told you was happening. And now they're like, oh, yeah, by the way, we were censoring everybody about COVID and banning. All sorts of people who ended up being right about everything are bad, you know, our bad. Sorry. And you're just kind of looking around.

Clay Travis (8:02)

Like, I had a personal YouTube channel that shut down. Strike, strike, shut down. I mean, over and over again. I stopped with YouTube because I was like, this is crazy, because you couldn't even say. I could not say, don't. That mask wearing outside was unnecessary outside which every single study, all of the data said that that is absolutely worthless and insane. There's no reason.

Buck Sexton (8:25)

It didn't matter.

Clay Travis (8:26)

Didn't matter. Masking was a religion, kind of like climate change is a religion for people who think they're too smart for religion, as I've told you. We'll get into all that, though. And, yeah, the YouTube censorship. Speaking of censorship, Jimmy Kimmel. Oh, Jimmy Kimmel's. His face painted on walls and water towers across America. And what happened to Jimmy Kimmel? He was off the air for four days.

Buck Sexton (8:52)

Four shows.

Clay Travis (8:53)

Four shows. And Disney brings him right back. This is funny because there have been libs who have canceled their. Here's Howard Stern, who's become a huge, very annoying lib. Maybe he always was, but at least now he's really bad. Here he is 15, saying, well, I'll let you hear it from. From this guy. Play 15.

Howard Stern (9:14)

I just know when the government begins to interfere. When the government says, I'm not pleased with you, so we're going to orchestrate a way to silence you. It's the wrong direction for our country, and I should know. I've been involved in something like this. And now ABC is put in the same position. And it's unfortunate that ABC even has to be in this position. They shouldn't have to be in this position. I feel for them, too. In this, but that someone's got to step up and be saying, hey, enough. We're not going to bow. Now it might sound stupid, but the thing I did this morning, I'm canceling my Disney Plus I'm trying to say with the pocketbook that I do not support what they're doing with Jimmy.

Clay Travis (9:53)

Okay, can I just point this out? Now he's saying he canceled Disney. So I guess he's going to resubscribe to Disney off the air for four days. These libs are such babies. This is, this is not even a scintilla Clay. This is not even a, a, a tiny little sliver of the cancellation and censorship and everything that the right has been dealing with for 20 years now, especially online. And we're supposed to care that Jimmy Kimmel, the government didn't take him off the air? You know how we know that he's back on the air? I guess the government wasn't so scary after all. ABC News did this, I think to protect him because the second round of what he was going to say on air was even dumber than the first.

Buck Sexton (10:36)

I, I think there's truth to that. I have been saying since this all started and I think people are going to slowly start to recognize this is about Disney trying to buy the NFL Network. I'm sorry, Jimmy Kimmel is just a pawn here. I think if Disney could just do away with almost all news, I think they would because they basically done it at espn. ESPN breaks no news. Now they're in bed with the NFL. They're in bed with the sec. They're in bed with the NBA. Every time they break news, it just hurts their business partners. And so they're basically just a glorified middleman when it comes to sports. And then I think Disney just wants to make look left wing, unfortunate programming. But I don't think they actually want to do news. I, I think if they could sell ABC News and get out of the news business completely, I think it's just a mess to them. It doesn't make any money. Jimmy Kimmel show loses money at this point, if you were just analyzing aspects of their business, this creates way more headaches than it does provide profits. And that's a bad combination. And I think they won out.

Clay Travis (11:45)

You know, I, I gotta say, I. When I'm at the gym. Clay, down to 190. By the way, I'm coming for you, Buddy.

Commercial Announcer (11:51)

Where are you?

Buck Sexton (11:51)

One you're gonna catch me. You 185? Yeah, I don't know.

Clay Travis (11:56)

I saw, I saw you putting away that ham sandwich the other day. I'm thinking 187 maybe. But anyway, yes, I'm. By the way, I have to respect one thing about Clay. You know, you all know Clay is. Clay is Clay. And he's been a. He's been a very successful entrepreneur, put it that way. He will still drink a big old bottle of Mountain Dew in our studio. He is the only person I know, the only human being I know who in his 40s drinks Mountain Dew. So I'm. I gotta say, Clay does not change one bit.

Buck Sexton (12:28)

Laura has gotten me to give up soda, but did I just blow you.

Clay Travis (12:32)

Up in front of the.

Buck Sexton (12:32)

Well, I occasionally will have a soda, but it is super unhealthy. I get ripped all the time for the clothes that I wear, for the, for the, The. The food choices that I make. I really haven't changed very much since I was like, 18, for better or worse. So when it comes to what I wear or what I eat.

Clay Travis (12:53)

And so I would just say all back to the Kimmel thing for a second, because I was. I was saying when I. When I go to the gym and I've gotten that 190 now, I. Whenever I see the screen, it's always sports in my gym. They don't. They don't allow Fox News. Only sports are on all that. They don't have any news, to be fair.

Buck Sexton (13:09)

Really.

Clay Travis (13:09)

Maybe CNN's on sometimes. I got to talk to them about that. But I see what that. What the headlines are. And it's never news about sports. It's always just people having inane discussions, like, is so and so. And I, you know, I know, you know, all these people and their backgrounds. I mean, the people they're talking about. But it's always. Is so and so's new coaching contract, like too much or just about, right? And then you have adults sitting around talk. I'm like, who cares? Like, what is this? You're talking someone else's coaching pay and they'll have four people at a table. And I can just see because it's all scrolling with the text. I'm like, I cannot believe there. There are adults having this conversation. And this is like a thing that they're doing on this show. Who cares? But. But I have even noticed that it's not sports reporting anymore. They're not breaking news about the sports industry. It's like, who's better? You know, it's all versions of who's better? LeBron or Jordan. It's all, you know, I take this side, you take that side of inane argument at espn. And I think it's just because you're right about how they really just want to be a middleman broadcasting of live sports with a lot of chatter in between.

Buck Sexton (14:16)

The last. The worst thing for them would be to blow up one of their franchise properties because they do a stor that knocks a really good, talented player out of being able to be on television for them because it costs them money. Speaking of being on television, I now have an FS1 show where I sit around and talk about all the inane sports things that airs at 6pm Eastern.

Clay Travis (14:38)

I didn't even know I got every. I got to watch the gym now every Wednesday.

Buck Sexton (14:43)

If you're working out at 6pm FS1, you'll just see me. This is actually pretty funny. It's just me sitting and making sports arguments. I don't have anybody that I'm debating. It's just me in my own head. So, Laura, Today, this is 100% true. We're taping it. We tape it a day early. She said, what time are you taping? And I was like, oh, maybe she wants to come up. Pay attention. See the, you know, sports arguments. And I was like, oh, you know, 2:30. And she said, okay. And I was like, you know, you got something going on? She was like, no, I just want to make sure that we have someone putting makeup on you because. And I was like, well, I've been doing television for a long time. You know, I don't ever wear makeup unless I'm in a studio. And she was like, yeah, but this one, they really kind of zoom in on you. This is all 100% true. And I was like, so you're telling me I have to wear. She was like, yeah, yeah, I think you have to wear makeup. So this is. I will be made up. But I. But I usually am never in makeup for any hit. But Laura was like, no, the camera's too hd. They're too close. They really zoom in on you. You need to have makeup on.

Clay Travis (15:46)

She's just. Look, she's just looking out for you. Someone's got to tell you the hard truths, Clay. And Laura's ready. She's ready for it. I will say this, Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. We both said this was going to happen. So we were. We knew this was going to happen. I pointed out immediately when this happened. I said, guys, it's an indefinite suspension. That does not mean. And even the White House was saying, oh, he's been canceled. He's, you know, his show has been canceled. No, it hasn't. He's back on the air. Very curious to see if there's. I don't think they'll really. My guess is there won't really be any shift in the ratings. But to me, Clay, more than anything else, this just goes to show you libs have no idea what actual censorship and being shut down is because they don't experience it. And the moment that they can even make a fake argument, in my opinion, this was always a. ABC was always driving this shit. It was not the Trump, Trump administration that was at the helm here. And, and the fact that they tried to make this argument so quickly and so, you know, so vociferously just goes to show you they're a bunch of crybabies and they just want different rules for us and different rules for them. And unfortunately, they still have it at abc.

Buck Sexton (16:46)

One wrinkle here that is not being talked about very much but is still in play. Nextar and Sinclair are not carrying it. So for instance, in Nashville, my ABC affiliate, I won't be able to watch the Jimmy Kimmel Show. And many of you out there that have either a Sinclair or Nextar affiliate, you wouldn't know unless you put your television on at 11:30pm Eastern, 10:30 Central. You wouldn't really know whether or not probably who your affiliate is. But that is something that I think could still be an issue because around 35% of viewers nationwide will not have access to this show. And I'm curious somewhat to see what he says. I'll tell you what I think he should say when we come back. In the meantime, it's been nearly two years since Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1200 innocent Israelis, took 250 hostages before the day was over. In a couple of weekends, there's going to be a special remembrance. And remember, Hamas still has hostages. Two years they have been holding some of these hostages. This weekend, as we get ready, a couple of weekends from now, Flags of Fellowship is going to be going on, organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Date is Sunday, October 5th, just a couple of weeks away, millions of Americans will plant an Israeli flag. And in honor and solidarity with the victims of October 7, 2023 and their grieving families. To learn how you can join the Flags of Fellowship movement, visit the fellowship online@ifcj.org stand up for Israel and join the movement. That's ifcj.org saving America. One thought at a time.

Clay Travis (23:00)

I can just see him wearing his big khaki shorts and his New Balance sneakers and his fanny pack full of or I should say tool belt because that's what the dads wear. The tool belt.

Buck Sexton (23:11)

I that is very well said. So on the Jimmy Kimmel thing, if I were advising him on what he should do when he comes back, we had Adam Carolla on the show yesterday. Some of you heard it. He's been buddies with Adam Carolla. Jimmy has for a long time. I would actually advise him to say I screwed up. I got it wrong. It was a left winger who killed. I don't think he'll do this but this is what I would advise. It was a left winger who killed Charlie Kirk. It's completely unacceptable that that happened. And I spoke spoke inarticulately as I was attempting to try to tell a joke which was probably a timing on a joke that was unnecessary and ill decided as well.

Clay Travis (23:57)

So one yes you're right in terms of he should do an apology but we both know he won't. Two he wasn't telling a joke. He was telling a lie and spitting in the faces of millions and millions of grieving people. It wasn't a joke that went too far. It wasn't a ooh, too soon. It was basically bleep. All of you who are upset about the most horrific political assassination in, you know, 50 years.

Buck Sexton (24:24)

And what I would look at Buck as, you know, and a lot of people probably know this, but all this is written in a teleprompter and he has an entire team of writers. I would advise get some writers who voted for Trump because I think people would have said, hey, you're living in blue sky. You're living in this crazy alternate universe where a lot of people believed that this killer was a left winger. And then the second part is, I would have Trump voters on every week. I would say going forward, that's what my advice would be.

Clay Travis (24:56)

I, yes, it's good advice, but Clay, this is like fantasy land stuff. I was at CNN before it went totally insane. Every writer that he has, every person with any say on that show, every executive weighing in, hate Trump voters. All of them. There is no sanity over there.

Buck Sexton (25:16)

They want to buy the NFL Network and I think their business interest, interestingly to think about that. Since 9 11, the tunnel of the Towers foundation has been supporting America's greatest heroes and their families. Heroes like Mark Holbert. Mark was born into a military family. Dad served for 25 years, grandfather fought in World War II. Mark turned his childhood dream of serving into a reality when he enlisted in the United States Army. He served multiple tours, including three in Afghanistan. On his fourth tour, he stepped on an ied, losing both of his legs. The Tunnel of the Towers foundation provided Mark and his family with a mortgage free smart home, which enables Mark to live more independently. Mark and so many others have paid a high price to protect our country and communities. Friends like you have helped to say thank you to Mark and so many others, not just with words, but through, through actions. Join us in donating 11amonth to Tunnel the Towers at t2t.org that's t the number two t.org Slay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.

Clay Travis (26:18)

All right, let's talk for a little bit because she's on her book tour. You all remember Kamala Harris. She's the Vice president for four years. She was disastrous in every role they pretended to give her. She didn't even have to do anything. She just had to not make it clear that she had no idea about the thing that she had been made in charge of or the czar of, like the border. We all remember we've been to the border. Unless you're holding like, lady, you haven't been to the border. Like, you can't, you know, there's only so much we can do for you here at was the ABC News, right?

Buck Sexton (26:52)

NBC, I think NBC. If less if Lester Holt lights you up, I mean, that's like, you know.

Clay Travis (26:58)

That'S like, that's like Mr. Rogers throwing an elbow and hit you right in the jaw. You know, that's tough.

Buck Sexton (27:01)

Like, you know, like if you were walking down the street and you bumped into Al Roker and he like just beat your, beat you up, you'd be like, I don't feel good about your chances to defend yourself against anybody. I mean, when you get bodied by Lester Holt, you're probably not a very serious politician.

Clay Travis (27:16)

Old school Al would have had a little more weight to throw behind it. But, you know, to be fair. But now, yeah, now you can't, you can't get, you can't get slapped around by him. We have so much about Kamala that's worth discussing. And let's, let's just go back to this one because her book is out now. And remember, if you're like, buck, why do we care? Well, first of all, there's an election coming up in a year, basically 15 months or so. You're going to start to see people at the exploratory committees and raising money or whatever. So it's not that far out. But even beyond that, who's the leader of the Democrat Party right now? And we talk about this day to day because we know there's opposition to Trump and the Republicans out there. We know that they actually got a lot of votes in this last election. We're not, not forgetting about that. But there has to be some group of people, if not one person who are really driving the, you know, driving the boat or, you know, making, making the decisions about where the party's going. And it's very unclear right now in a way that it has never been. We, we have lived clay, right through the era of Clinton's, Obama's, Biden's a little bit. But, you know, there have been these names in politics. Like, we all knew who the top Democrats were more or less for the last 20 years, who the big names were. And, you know, there was a little period where you had some, you know, John Kerry was making a play for it.

Buck Sexton (28:41)

Right.

Clay Travis (28:41)

And there have been some others, but now we don't know. And it's worth noting that they don't know either. And it's fun to watch the scramble here on the View, trying to trying to push her book. And I'm sure she wants to sell a lot of copies because Kamala wants to make money. The View host Sunny Hostin, who I am told reliably by the way, Clay, from a source very close to the show, is incredibly hostile to both staff and fellow panelists on that.

Buck Sexton (29:09)

Does that surprise you at all?

Clay Travis (29:10)

Nope. But I was just told that recently I cannot, I cannot divulge sources, but she is a the story I am told is she is a nightmare to deal with for everybody, everybody on that show and said so all the like we love each other stuff is nonsense. It's if you had to pick one who is impossible, it's her. I think by far I don't even.

Buck Sexton (29:33)

Think there would be a close second look. I think that Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar often say and make moronic arguments, but they are, to be fair comedians in background. Sonny is arrogant and dumb, which is a bad combination because she has no idea what she's talking about. This is one of the things like Notre Dame. Yeah.

Clay Travis (29:52)

There's like a bitterness to her, too, all the time.

Buck Sexton (29:55)

Notre Dame Law School should ask for the JD Back. I don't, I she is, she is awful and she seems awful. So that does not surprise me at all.

Clay Travis (30:05)

So you will recall little throwback here. A little Throwback Tuesday to October 8th of 2024. So coming up on almost exactly a year ago. And that's also the other part of this. Right. It was a year ago that they were telling us Kamala's great vote for Kamala. You gotta vote for Kamala. We could tell they're like, do you really want to vote for Kamala, though? Do you really want. Not really. But here was about a year ago Kamala, when asked on the View by Sunny Hostin if she would do anything differently and this was magnifique perfection. Play it.

Clay Travis (30:40)

If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years? There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of and I've been a part of, of, of most of the decisions that have had impact.

Clay Travis (30:56)

Clay. Clay, that was, I mean, that was a moment where I was feeling so good about the prediction that he was going to do even better against, against Kamala that Trump was than he did against Hillary. She, she was reacting.

Buck Sexton (31:09)

Let's react to that again. I mean, Kamala has had and even back Then had months to prepare for every possible question that could be answered, could be asked. This is not a very difficult proposition, you and I. You're going to have your book coming out in. In. In January. I'll have my book coming out in November. We will be asked hundreds of questions as part of book promotion, and we will have had no preparation. We'll have no whiteboarding. We'll have no team that sits around and just sketches out what our answers to questions should be, because we're not morons. This was an inevitable and totally expected question that she bungled. And then she's talking about it now. She's promoting. She went back on for the first time. And I don't even know what the conversation was, but we've got audio of sonny Austin following 34.

Clay Travis (32:01)

Play it.

Clay Travis (32:02)

I asked you if there was anything you would have done differently than President Biden during the past four years, and you said, quote, there is not a thing that comes to mind, end quote. You write you had no idea. You just pulled the pin on a hand grenade. In the moment I knew the Trump campaign weaponized your answer against you. My question. And some, including James Carville and Jake Tapper, point to that answer as a turning point in your candidacy. Do you think that moment tip the election? No. No.

Buck Sexton (32:38)

Good.

Clay Travis (32:38)

Because Sonny wasn't want to take the blame.

Clay Travis (32:43)

Can I point something out, Clay? Just in the. The lack of logic that even Sunny Hostin in that one little moment shows us, she knows that it's a horrible answer herself. She said that she knew right away. Oh, my God. Kamala's answer is absolutely atrocious. But then she goes to. And Republicans. Weaponized. Weaponized meaning like they. What? They took it out of context. They were unfair. No. If you knew it was a moronic answer. Sonny. Everybody knew it was a moronic answer.

Buck Sexton (33:11)

They didn't weaponize her answer. They just used her answer. Yes, she weaponized the answer by being a moron. But I. So I jotted down on my little yellow notepad, weaponized your answer, which you just hit second part there that I also jotted down. Everybody laughed because they know that Sunny Hostin is not there to actually do journalism. She's there to burnish Kamala Harris's credentials. Play that cut again. Because the weaponized answer is interesting. But the joke that everybody laughs at because it's true is Sunny Hostin didn't want to do anything that might in any way harm Kamala Harris's candidacy, and all of the audience understands it. To play that cut one more Time. Because I think it just goes to the failure of the view of all things to actually have a wide variety of views is one of the issues that I think ABC News is dealing with in general. Let's play that one more time.

Clay Travis (34:15)

I asked you if there was anything you would have done differently than President Biden during the past four years and you said, quote, there is not a thing that comes to mind, end quote. You write you had no idea. You just pulled the pin on a hand grenade in the moment I knew the Trump campaign weaponized your answer against you. My question and some, including James Carville and Jake Tapper, point to that answer as a turning point in your candidacy. Do you think that moment tip the election? No. No.

Buck Sexton (34:51)

Good.

Clay Travis (34:51)

Because Sonny wasn't want to take the blame.

Clay Travis (34:56)

I don't think it. Yeah. I don't think it tipped the election. I just think it was solidifying. I think Clay, if anything, that was a straw that broke the camel's back situation. I don't think that it was. It's not like everybody thought Kamala was great and then she said that and they said, whoa, where did that come from? It was, oh, my God, she's as dumb and unprepared as we thought she was this whole time. And even people who maybe were open to I'll vote either way had to see that and say, this is preposterous.

Buck Sexton (35:25)

I also think, and you're going to be the expert on this because you have bought and downloaded the newest Kamala book. You know how you, when you finished your book, and certainly when I finished my book at some point. You've gone over it enough times that it's hard to see it with a fresh eye because you pored over it so much. I think one of the most challenging aspects, I would bet, of making a movie, certainly I know writing a book is eventually seeing it as a fresh reader will. I think that is where instincts politically matter. And what I have read already of the reviews of Kamala's book is that I think she didn't understand how much distaste there was for Joe Biden. And she didn't think she had given a bad answer to that question. And her advisors might not have realized it was a bad answer either because they're so close to the Biden administration that they've lost perspective on how it looks to the larger voting public. And they thought she needed to ally herself with Biden because he was popular enough that she couldn't show any distinction between herself and him.

Clay Travis (36:36)

She. She should have. If she were a skilled politician. She would have known that the single biggest vulnerability the Democrats had in this last election was the 10 million people who poured into the country via illegal and, and fraudulent means. And if she had said, you know, if she was a skilled politician, she would have said something, in my opinion, Clay, like, you know, Joe Biden, we had so many victories and, you know, there's, I don't want to forget about those, but I would say that given the realities of the complexities of our immigration system, we needed to have that reform done earlier to make sure that only, you know, the, the legitimate asylum seekers and the best and the brightest, blah, blah, blah. And that's what we'll do in my next term, is to figure out how we're only getting or how we are getting, not only getting, you know, great immigrants from all over the world. You know, some, by the way, this audience is not going to like that answer, but that's an answer that could have worked. That's the point. Instead, she just said nonsense.

Buck Sexton (37:37)

I don't even think the answer is that hard if you are a decent politician. I think the answer to that question is Joe Biden did a lot of things. We took over an economy and disaster because of the awful leadership. I'm answering it as if I were Kamala. The awful leadership of Donald Trump who failed to lead us. Well, during COVID we took over a dumpster fire. First thing we had to do was put the fire out. I understand that people feel like they haven't seen the results of the work we've done yet. That's what I'm here to do. We put the fire out. We're put America back on its feet. And, and we are working towards getting things infinitely better. So there are a lot of things that I think we both could have done better. I think we did a much better job than Trump, and I know we're going to do a much better job in the next four years. Look, that's me off the cuff answering that question.

Clay Travis (38:27)

And that's a great non answer. That's a great non answer answer. But that's all she had to do, right, is say something like, we've done great things, we're going to do more great things. You don't say, I can't think of anything because that makes you seem like an empty vessel.

Buck Sexton (38:39)

Not only that, it actually makes you endorse every decision that has been made as opposed to saying, again, I would pivot and attack Trump in that answer. He's so bad. We took over a Dumpster fire. The first thing you have to do is put out the fire. And it takes a while for the results of the work we're doing. I'm a younger version of Joe Biden. I'm going to do a better job connecting with the American public going forward. But I think we've put the country on great footing. Any answer like that, it vanishes. Nobody pays attention to it.

Clay Travis (39:10)

Look, I'll say this and people will get mad at me, but that's okay, because you all know that it's true. Whatever you may think of Sarah Palin, the answer with Katie Couric was a similar. It was when someone asks you, what do you read? You say something. You say something. You don't say things like, I read things basically, or you know, or what do you mean by that? Right now you could say that's unfair. No one is. You know, I've trashed Katie Couric more than probably anybody else on the right these days. I mean, I still think that the fact that she got as far as she did in her career, she's just a ruthless mediocrity. But I'm just saying that was a bad answer from Sarah Palin. So you can't do that. You can't have the non answer to the question. That's an obvious question you should be ready for, because even passersby in politics pick up on that and go, oh, that wasn't good.

Buck Sexton (39:58)

And your job is to do two things as president. Make decisions and communicate. That's really it. Now, there are complexities associated with it. If you can't answer basic questions, your job as a communicator. Let's leave aside the fact that I think Kamala would have been an awful decision maker too. But if you can't even communicate answers to basic questions, then you're in real trouble. Trump is an elite communicator. I think he's making really good decisions, too. But those are the two jobs of the president. And if you can't do both at a high level, you're going to fail. And Biden was awful at everything. He would have done better going full Costanza buck and just taking the opposite of every choice he made. The country would have been better off.

Wanna talk to you about the preborn network of clinics for a moment. Preborn is saving lives day in and day out. Here's what they're doing.

Learn more@probane.com welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show comila tour underway YouTube admitting that it censored people who had conservative thoughts. We'll talk about that as well. As additional news that may be coming out about the Jimmy Kimmel situation, I did want to say it is very interesting if you look at the Kamala angle, this is me kind of teasing where we're going Buck. Rachel Maddow actually kind of went after her because Rachel Maddow is a lesbian over Kamala Harris saying she couldn't pick Mayor Pete because he is gay. And I want to play that answer, but I also think it goes to the tension inherent in the Democrat Party going forward. They've got a lot of pro and conned identity groups now that they're trying to keep together, whether it is the Gay and Lesbian alliance, also with the trans, whether it is black voters being responsive to gay politicians, and also the Israel angle, because I think that really went into how Kamala Harris ended up with Tim Walls, which was she kind of got herself into a corner because everybody else had an interest group that was allied against them. And then you get this imbecile Tim Walls, who I would love if he lost the governor's race. I don't think he will, unfortunately, because I think Minnesota's got too many crazy people. But it is, I think an intriguing examination into how her VP selection went down that basically she had to eliminate a lot of people and he was the last guy left standing.

Clay Travis (47:57)

Yes, yes. And like I Kamala realizes this is the moment to change the narrative because it's a very bad narrative for her after that election. I don't think it's going so well for her. And the Rachel Maddow appearance play, I don't think it's helping. We're going to talk about it in a moment.
