Void where prohibited by law 21 + terms and conditions apply. Welcome everybody. Thursday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show is starting right now. It's very exciting. Thank you for being here. And we have so much to discuss. A press conference yesterday in the White House. Cabinet members and elon their doge doing its thing, explaining to everybody that the math makes it clear Doge is not just a good idea, it is a necessary idea. We shall discuss that. We have JD JB Pritzker with his theory. And I know a lot of you are going to make jokes about this about why grocery prices are high, but we will address that in a little bit. This is the possible Democrat nominee going forward for them. We'll see. He is the governor of Illinois. Uh, we've got Bezos and the Washington Post opinion shift, which we will dive into. Uh, Pam Bondi says that there might be some more. There might be some Epstein information, flight logs, et cetera released. Scott Jennings giving a free lesson on the Jennings analysis bus for cnn. He is letting the kids get on the school bus, giving them a free ride, explaining how the government works. Very kind of him. Scott Jennings. Very patient man. Very kind. We've got that and just so much going on here. Pro Luigi Mangioni protest. That is a real sickness that has taken over some quarters. We shall discuss that. Our friend Ryan Garduski will join us to talk about gold card citizenship. Clay, he's fired up about it.
Clay Travis
He wrote an entire piece, like, furious, like he was in my mentions. Like, this is the worst idea. I'm paraphrasing the worst idea you've ever had. So if you think that I'm a moron, Ryan is fired up. I still love the idea, but we'll see how that goes.
Buck Sexton
Ryan loves you, but he does not love $5 million gold cards for citizens. So we'll talk to him. He's from the Clay and Buck podcast network. We'll talk to him later on about this. But as the media tries to get Its footing. Oh, and also the CIA NSA chat log released by Chris Ruffo with all kinds of grotesque and absurd and bizarre stuff. There's firings now happening. Tulsi Gabbard is on the issue. She will. Yes, sir, I know.
Clay Travis
I'm just. Also. That's happening. We should tell people it's possible the Epstein documents are going to be released today. Pam Bondi last night on Sean Hannity show, I believe said, hey, they're coming out today. Will there be any major revelations? Will anything come from this list? Buck, you're the wonk guy. Womp, womp guy on all you want.
Buck Sexton
Me to this one because I can pretty easily. It's just. It's just a list of his contacts. We already know that he has contacts with many of the most connected and powerful people in the world. We know that some of them are scummy. But the problem is worse than scummy. You know what I'm talking about. The problem is a lot of them will say, I just had lunch with the guy. You already knew that Bill Clinton flew on his jet. You already knew that. That Bill Gates went to Epstein Island. So unless there's proof, just contact with Epstein I don't think is going to be enough because we already know about a lot of very powerful rich people who had lots of contact with Epstein. So I could be wrong, but I think that it is unlikely there will be any major revelation that comes out of it. I actually. I mean, I hope I am wrong because I always tell people the story of the FBI showing up in New York City at the Epstein mansion, which was given to him. How many people give somebody a $70 million man? That's quite strange. Given to him as a gift. Hmm. But the FBI showed up and searched his entire residence. This is after he had been arrested at Teterboro Airport. And they found in a safe, tapes. And when they found the tapes in the safe, the FBI said, hold on a second. You can. This is in court transcripts. FBI goes, hold on. We don't have the right to seize. We only have the right to search. We got to come back with a new warrant in a few days. And does anyone guess what happened when they came back to the Epstein mansion after cracking the safe and finding the surveillance tapes? The surveillance tapes were gone. Oh, the FBI. Hmm. Surveillance. They decided not even Clay to try to keep tabs on the tapes.
Clay Travis
Where do you think those ended? Where do you think all those tapes truly ended up?
Buck Sexton
Well, the FBI called, I believe, the Epstein. You know, the Epstein attorneys.
Clay Travis
Yeah.
Buck Sexton
Said, hey, do you guys have these? And they go, oh, there's some tapes, but nothing, nothing important. We'll bring them right back to you. Where do I think that they went? I mean, who knows? They either erased whatever was on those tapes, destroyed the tapes and replace them with other tapes. I mean, it's, I mean, there's a whole bunch of.
Clay Travis
You think they still exist in any way?
Buck Sexton
No, I think they destroyed them. Yeah, I think they destroyed them because I think that they're. Look, I want to be very clear. I think that the Epstein thing is a massive conspiracy and a massive cover up. And I think it implicates some of the most powerful and connected people in the world in ways that is horrifying to even imagine. Do we have any proof of it, though? Without proof we get nowhere. It's been a long time for them to cover up the proof. Pam Bondi is releasing information as Attorney General. We will see. But I do not by any means think that we figured out even half the story with Epstein so far. So let's just put that out there. But Clay, do you want to, do you want to do, do you want to do Fake Tapper first or you want to do CIA? You want to do Fake Tap?
Clay Travis
Let's do Fake Tapper. I mean, this is tough not to really just gloat over, but also tell you guys to not, not to be aware of what they're trying to do because this is next level gaslighting for Jake Tapper, who's got a book out to now claim, oh, I was out.
Buck Sexton
Or has he announced comes out in May.
Clay Travis
Comes out.
Buck Sexton
Yeah. So it's a little ways out. So we, we. Because otherwise we would get a copy and you know, we'd thumb through it. Here's, here's what's going on, everyone. For those who have worked in media, this is, this has been a long running, a long running joke. And you might have even seen people, some prominent political analysts last night saying that Mr. Tapper, who has a, has a long history of doing this to many people, including me, likes to go into people's DMs and hector them, threaten them, cajole them like a little high school girl who doesn't like what was written about him, you know, on a bathroom stall or something. Ok, he is a little child about this and people do not appreciate it, especially throughout the media. But he used to be the, him and Anderson Cooper were kind of the prime guys at CNN and the most establishment. And so people didn't say anything really about it. Very much. Because, you know, he, he had a, he had a big megaphone. Now things have changed. He's still slipping into people's DMs. Nobody cares. And he realizes, Clay, that the old game of oh, I, I'm one of the good ones who will speak truth to power, including to my own side. He also used to hide behind his, his ostentatious love of veterans a lot. I mean, look, I, I, I have just gonna be honest with you. I have no respect for the guy whatsoever. And now he's trying to pretend like he's a truth teller because he's part of a book now. Other people have pointed out, Clay, that Alex, whatever his name is, what's the guy's name, the other co author, Alex.
Clay Travis
Thompson, I think has actually done a good job, relatively speaking, covering this.
Buck Sexton
So Alex Thompson has some street cred on trying to tell the truth about Biden when it was inconvenient. Telling the truth about Biden now is nothing. The entire country knows. People that don't even care about politics have known about this for months. So, so Tapper is trying to resurrect Clay. I think his brand with, oh, I actually was trying to tell the truth about Biden here. This is cut one, play this of Axios.
Jake Tapper
And I have spent the last several months talking to more than 200 insiders and officials and donors and activists more willing to talk post election, of course, to explain the last couple years in politics and how we as a nation got here. With never before heard stories from behind the scenes. You will not believe what was really going on. You can pre order the book at Original Sin book.com this is the arsonist.
Buck Sexton
Putting on a fireman's hat and saying, I'm here to save the day. Clay. It's. And no one's, I don't think anyone's buying it and I, you know, fake Tapper is used to pulling one over on a lot of simpletons. I don't think he's fooling anybody this time.
Clay Travis
I don't even understand how he could think he could get away with writing this book. Alex Thompson, okay, again, he did a lot of reporting that was inconvenient at the time. We told all of you that as soon as the election was over, all of these books with all of these crazy behind the scenes stories about Biden's ineptitude would all come out. So this is very predicted. You can go back and listen to the transcripts. We've been telling you that for years. But here is what Jake Tapper. So Tapper is now trying to claim, hey, you know what? I covered Biden's physical and mental decline aggressively on cnn. No one is buying it. It's probably not a surprise. I don't know if you saw this, Buck. According to Gallup, trust in media has hit an all time low. That is never in the history since they have been testing it has there been less trust in the so called mainstream legacy media. But here is examples of what Jake Tapper was saying about Joe Biden and any critics relating to the Joe Biden situation. I believe that's cut to Joe Biden.
Jake Tapper
Embraces his stutter, talking about it while Trump mocks it, exaggerates it, belittles it. He's sharp physically. I mean, mentally. Yeah, I think the question is physically.
Buck Sexton
Right, Right.
Jake Tapper
Or so.
Buck Sexton
Right, right.
Jake Tapper
And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three or four years younger than him. Questioned President Biden's age, mental fitness, ability to lead. Of those supporting Biden, you said, quote, shame on all of you, pretending everything is okay. You're leading us and him into a disaster. Do you worry that you damaged him at all? False claims to the Wall Street Journal about President Biden's mental fitness and acuity. He's 81 and his memory, you know, it doesn't seem great, it's not horrible. But I don't understand the outrage.
Clay Travis
And now he says, oh, I covered this fairly. I mean, you know this. But I think it's important for everybody out there to understand there is a level of dishonesty that is expected when you work at CNN and MSNBC in order to continue to get the guests on that you get on that program and you are not allowed to be a true truth teller. Now, the truth can be told because Biden's ability as a politician is done. In fact, Buck, have you even seen Biden since he left D.C. on January 20th? Any story about him in the last month? I don't even remember seeing anything that he's done in any kind of public fashion since he left the White House.
Buck Sexton
Here's a big part of why the media that is Democrat aligned. And remember, journalists by profession are 90% Democrats. The 50% of them who say they're independents are lying. They're Democrats, okay? It's all Democrats except for the people who come out and say, I'm a conservative. This is important, Clay, because now the entire opposition to Trump has to say things like, oh, I don't like what Trump's doing. And the public, in a very general sense, not not partisans, just anyone who has been paying even the slightest hint of attention last year, looks at people like Tapper and CNN and others and goes, you guys lied to us about a president who had dementia for years.
Clay Travis
Yes.
Buck Sexton
Why should I listen to you about anything? I mean, how much more reckless, how much more deceitful could they be than they already have been? Their credibility is gone and it's not coming back. And so you'd say, why would, why would Tapper want to be involved with this book? Because he realizes there's no lane anymore for the, oh, you know, I'm part of CNN and we speak the truth. No, people don't believe it. So now there are going to be people who try to rebuild by pretending that they're actually just journalists and truth tellers. All a lie. They were part of it. If you didn't speak out on this before the election, what you say about this now means nothing. How is it that you and I knew this to the point where it was like a daily conversation? I can't believe this guy is even, you know, that they're even going for this is insane.
Clay Travis
We started years ago debating whether or not they were going to allow Biden to continue to run. And we regularly on this program played clips that made it clear Biden wasn't up for the job again. And we also pointed out these stories have vanished, but it is worth. Remember remembering all of them. Buck, a lot of Democrats made a huge story about putting the 25th Amendment into place for Trump. Do you remember how aggressive they were in, like, 2018 and 2019 on CNN and MSNBC arguing that the 25th Amendment should be invoked because Trump wasn't physically and mentally able to be President of the United States? Remember how much they covered the way he walked down the ramp at West Point when it was covered and soaked in sodden and he was afraid of following falling? I mean, the way they covered Trump's physical and mental fitness compared to Biden was night and day. If you want to argue, hey, we need to make sure the commander in Chief is 100% in command of his mental and physical faculties. That's fine. And hold everybody to the same standard. They treated Trump like he was close to mental instability. Remember they wanted him to take cognition tests. And then Biden gets into office, he can barely speak, and they pretend it's crazy to question anything about him.
Buck Sexton
And all this time, it would have been so easy and I think actually politically smart for them to come out and tell the truth before the election, before the primary, before you know, this should have happened at the midterms. I always thought, okay, they're going to replace him at the midterms with Kamala now that they've. But, but Clay, how much worse would it be? The movie Dave, which is actually kind of a. It's, you know, it's, it's lib. But the movie Dave is a pretty easy watch, and it's where the president is replaced by his body double. How much more dishonest is that than what they, than what they actually did, which is looking you in the face while Biden's going and telling you, oh, he's fine. He's sharp as attack. And they all did this. And now they want to tell us that they're truth tellers. They've got to be kidding me.
Clay Travis
Come back. But I do think the collapse of the red wave in 2022, not sweeping the nation, ended up being the best thing that could have happened. Because that's what persuaded Biden that he should stay in office.
Buck Sexton
A couple weeks from now. My friends, I get to do something exciting with my dad and you're invited to join.

Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We'll come back and dive into some of your reactions. I got it. We got to play. When we come back, Buck this JB Pritzker saying prices in grocery stores are up because of dictatorship in the Trump era. As well as your good friend Kathy Hochul, governor of New York saying Trump is to blame for egg prices. It's amazing how they suddenly started caring about the price of goods after claiming everything was perfect for four years of the Biden administration.
Buck Sexton
Yes, this is the Biden. This is the, the Trump egg economy all of a sudden. We know that there's also been like an avian flu scare and all kinds of stuff, but this is the game the Democrats play. A good economy, they'll take credit for the first day of a new administration. A bad economy, they'll blame the previous administration through the midterms. You know, they just, it's all about evading accountability with them. And there's really nothing that they can say right now that is a good faith criticism of what the administration has done so far that resonates with the majority of the American people. It's just a lot of crying.
Clay Travis
No doubt. We'll break all that down for you. Pure Talk provides you with two things. Nationwide 5G service and the lowest monthly prices. You can also add a third item to that list. A new phone.

Say clay and Buck to claim your Samsung Galaxy or iPhone 14 today.
Buck Sexton
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Democrats don't have a strong hand to play right now in their opposition to The Trump administration 2.0, which is just a force of nature doing incredible work. Very quickly they've got Elon Musk would be tough to say. They don't have very capable high IQ people in all of the top roles. They've got Elon Musk leading doge. Some really important work being done there. Also, we'll talk about the DEI house cleaning that has been going on in some of these agencies, including in the intel community. But we've mentioned the economy and how Democrats are trying to find something to say about how it's not good. Blame Trump. Here is Governor Pritzker, who I would wager despite a fondness for groceries, has not bought his own groceries in a very long time. Here he is saying that the reason your grocery prices are high is because threats to democracy play it say to.
JB Pritzker
People, you know, democracy is at risk. Nobody knows what that looks like. They've never experienced it before.
Kathy Hochul
Yeah.
JB Pritzker
And the reality is what people need to hear about is what the effects of that are. The prices at the grocery store are going up because democracy is being taken away. The impact on you in terms of your health care. 770,000 people in Illinois will lose health care as a result of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the Republican Congress are doing right now. It's a danger to your way of life. And that's what people need to understand.
Buck Sexton
I don't even know what he's really saying other than Trump is a demonic, terrible force that will destroy everything. It's not really an argument. I think he's also trying to refer there to Medicaid. Medicaid has become such a bloated program that there are games that states play where they try to get more federal matching funds. And there's all that by how they actually do hospital reimbursements for Medicaid. It people use Medicaid to buy all kinds of things that have nothing to do with health care. It's a complete mess. And it's gotten much, much bigger and more bloated in recent years. So people should know. I think Clay, I think it's the largest single line item in the New York state budget. For example, Medicaid, healthcare, welfare. Governor Kathy Hochul speak speaking of New York. Here she is saying the high price of eggs In New York, Trump's fault play for. It's remarkable that they're voting against their own constituents interests and I'm very happy.
Tulsi Gabbard
To remind their constituents of that very fact that their own elected leaders have betrayed them and everything that was promised. Remember how on day one, if the Trump administration prices are going to go down, you know what the cost of exit in New York City are? If you can even find them, can't find them. It went up 40% since Donald Trump was elected. So instead of going down, they're going up even higher. So people are starting to wake up. They're saying, wait a minute, this is not, this is not what I thought I was voting for.
Clay Travis
Yeah.
Tulsi Gabbard
And it's happening even sooner than I thought. Literally in the first few months here I thought this would take a little longer, but my God, they're self destructing so fast.
Buck Sexton
Morning Joe needs to be canceled. Like Joy Reid show. I would also note, it's just, it's, the whole thing is a travesty. But Clay, they don't even pretend that they have to connect anything Trump has done with the price of eggs in a month.
Clay Travis
Well, look, the price of goods went up somewhere around 21 or 22% when Joe Biden took office. Inflation was 1.9%. It went up to over 9%. And that's embedded. And the analogy that unfortunately applies is if you get fat, suddenly getting fat at a slower rate doesn't mean that you're getting in shape. Right. And I think a lot of you understand that, but it's kind of the perfect analogy. If you put on £40 and then you suddenly in a year only put on three or four pounds, well that's better than maybe the rate you had been putting on weight, but the 40 pounds don't go away. So the cost of goods, because Biden was an economic moron skyrocketed. And now Trump in office for literally one month is suddenly being attacked for not having corralled the price of goods. After Democrats spent four years telling us that Bidenomics was actually a huge success. And anyone who thought that they had less money in their pocketbook was actually not just understanding how good they had it. So you can't, although they're trying, it's important to recognize here you can't fix everything that Joe Biden did wrong in one month with the exception of the border where we had Tom Homan on yesterday buck and he pointed out that Trump has effectively shut down the southern border and 97% of illegal border crossings have stopped. So that was one thing where Biden was so bad that legitimately, in one month, Trump could fix it. And now nobody's talking about the border. It has vanished as a top story. And now Democrats are trying to make hay with this. The egg thing is actually somewhat unique because of the fears of avian flu. There have been the slaughter of tons of what would otherwise be bird producing eggs. Right. And so as a result, that's a huge, you know, sort of unique aspect of why egg prices are going up. It's because we've slaughtered so many birds. Right. And so many people out there right now are, are having struggles with that. But that really doesn't have anything at all to do with the Trump economic policies. And it's being singled out as one particular issue. Now, I think the price of goods is going to stabilize and then start to come down. Here's my prediction. If we can get peace in Ukraine, and you might say, okay, how is peace in Ukraine tied clay to the overall cost of goods? I think if we get peace in Ukraine and Russia comes back online as a legitimate source of oil all over the world, I think you will see the cost of oil plummet. I think you're already seeing this, right? I was driving by the other day, a gallon unleaded by my house has dropped under $3 a gallon, which it hadn't been to my knowledge, for a while. And that is embedded in the cost of everything. So if you get the cost of oil down, if you get the cost of what you're paying for a gallon of gas down, the overall rates of inflation begin to decline across the board. And that's what would happen, I believe, if we could get peace in Ukraine, there's then way more oil on the marketplace. Price overall comes down and our economy benefits as a result.
Buck Sexton
All of this analysis that you've laid out, I think, lines up and is true, but also it takes time, which we all know. This is the part of it that's so absurd, right? I mean, this is, this is like Trump has been in office a week. Why hasn't he solved the debt? And you could say, well, their criticisms are idiotic and in bad faith. And that would be. That's true. But it also shows you that they can't actually go after the stuff that he's doing, the stuff that this administration is doing effectively. They try. They say, Elon's going to have access to your data. What? Yeah, what is. What does that even. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The richest guy in the World is looking for billion dollar fraudulent payments in the government system and people are worried he's going to steal your Social Security number. You know, what is he going to, he's going to take out a credit card in your name. It's so absurd that even saying it out loud just feels like a waste of everyone's time. But this is what the Democrats are saying. This is what Chuck Schumer and CNN and Morning Joe, this is what they're coming out with. And I think that this is indicative of the disarray that they're currently in. They know that these narratives are really weak. I think they understand that. You know, one thing they do understand is power and how to get it and how to undermine people to achieve power. And they know that this stuff that they're saying out loud now about eggs, about the price of stuff with the governor of Illinois, I mean, what a. I was going to say what a lightweight that guy is. I wasn't trying to be funny, but really not a smart guy, not an impressive individual. Inherited a lot of money and hasn't done very much with it. You find yourself sitting here saying it's for the first time the opposition to Trump just feels irrelevant. It's not that we disagree with them or think that they're idiots, because, yeah, that's been the case for a long time. But it's not resonating, it's not cutting through. It just sounds like chatter from the cheap seats. While the Trump administration continues to stay on the agenda, move things forward and do what they promised the voters that they would do. Also, the notion that Biden and his team around him had any idea about how to bring prices down. They named a, you know, massive spending bill. The inflation Reduction Act.
Clay Travis
Yes.
Buck Sexton
Just to lie about it. Just to lie about it. This should be like me naming a can of gasoline, the non flammable liquid, you know, can. Like, this is the craziest thing, the opposite of the truth. And that is what they did. And now they want to tell us about prices. They want to tell us who is the smartest person on economics in Biden's administration. Pete.
Clay Travis
But who is the smartest Democrat in elected office right now when it comes to basic economics? Who would you point to and say, hey, I trust this guy or this gal to be really good at getting our national economy roaring? I can't even name. This is in addition to the fact that they have no masculine men in the party and there is some connection maybe on the economic front. I can't even name somebody in a position of prominence right now in the Democrat party that I would say, you know what, I may not agree with them, but they've built a really good business and they have some semblance of economic reality, a decent head on their shoulders. I can't even give you a guy or a girl that is right now in the mix that I expect and would have any faith in whatsoever.

Welcome back in Clay Travis BUCK SEXTON SHOW let's have a couple of fun bits here. They keep having to apologize for what they Say on the View. Is it accurate to say Buck? I think it is. We get facts every now and then. Wrong. We try to come correct them. Have we ever had to apologize for anything that we. I don't think in four years we've ever had to apologize for anything we've said on the air. They keep having to apologize on the View. Here is a two parter join.
Buck Sexton
Apologize for your, your scurrilous attacks on flute players yet, Clay, because they're, they're not letting it go.
Clay Travis
I don't think I've ever apologized for anything I've ever said publicly in 20 years of being in media because I believe it and you don't have to agree with it. But what do I care if you're upset? Here is Joy Behar first saying, hey, Elon likes apartheid, apartheid and wants to go back to south africa. This is cut 25 was not born in this country.
Alex Thompson
Who was born under apartheid in South Africa. So has that mentality going on. He was pro apartheid as I understand it.
Clay Travis
He was pro apartheid. He was a little kid living in South Africa. Joy Behar says he was pro apartheid. He wants for races to be separate. And that didn't go over very well here. She came back and said, please don't sue me. Elon Musk, cut 26.
Alex Thompson
Now I'm getting some flack because I said that Musk was pro apartheid. I don't really know for sure if he was. He grew up at that time when apartheid was in full blown before the great Nelson Mandela fixed that he was around at that time. But maybe he was. Maybe he was. He might have been a young guy too. Might have been. So don't be suing me, okay?
Buck Sexton
I mean, I think it's, I think it's indicative of the attitude of the View that they just like say a mean, say a mean untrue thing about somebody, really a defamatory thing about somebody and then just say, well, I actually don't know anything about the person, so don't sue me. But that show is an absolute joke. Now you and I enjoy some of these shows insofar as they provide us great content. Like Morning Joe was a lot of fun when they lost their minds before the election. Joy Reid show has given us great content for years. The View great content for years. If they get rid of these moron left wing shows, we are going to have to work a little harder to find clips to make fun of. So there is a part of me that will miss it.
Clay Travis
I think this is so important. What she Said she said he was a fan of apartheid. She then comes back. I think Buck, he was like 9 and 10 years old living in South Africa at the time the family left and went to Canada is my recollection. I know he was at the University of Pennsylvania for college to argue that he was in favor of apartheid and then come back and say, well, he might have been a kid. I really have no idea. Don't sue me. It's just indicative of that show our team, maybe they can go back. They, I think on the View basically called me a white supremacist by name, if I remember correctly. And because I this was like last year, I said, hey, it seems like if you're going to accuse somebody of that, you should allow them to come on your network and respond. I don't remember exactly what I was called out for by name. We'll look that up. But this is, this shouldn't occur, right? You shouldn't be able to say somebody is pro apartheid and then come back and say, well, really, I have no idea because you were just a kid. I mean, that's Clay.
Buck Sexton
They have no, they have no integrity to protect at the View. That's the problem. There's no, there's no loss for them in saying whatever they feel like saying. Let's take some calls and some talk packs real quick. A a listener talk back from Palm. Lovely Palm Beach, Florida. Lovely place. Very expensive.
