Hey friend, I know how it feels waking up exhausted after multiple trips to the bathroom and feeling embarrassed by sudden leaks. I used to be constantly on edge searching for a restroom whenever I was out. Then I discovered better women. I was skeptical at first, but two months in, everything changed. I experienced improved bladder control, no more heart stopping moments when I laugh or sneeze, less urge to go deeper and more restful sleep. I finally felt like myself again, confident and in control. Better woman is natural, effective and trusted by Women for over 25 years. Ready to take back your control?

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. It became known as the Iran Contra Affair.

Clay Travis
Welcome everybody. Thursday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show kicks off right now and we have so much to discuss with you. As is always the case here, we've got the Trump trip to the Middle east, the spoke to US Troops in Qatar and talking about what we're doing for the military these days. More on the Border More on what's going on with the Trump administration's efforts to secure the border, and that includes interior enforcement of our laws. The left is still very upset about the South African refugees, which is not a surprise. But remember, 50 of them. There's 50. It's really just. If nothing else, they find it so outrageous and insulting and it goes to Some broader and very important arguments that everybody should be aware of, which is that Democrats have been trained to believe that you cannot be white and be oppressed anywhere. That's, that's a remarkable position. But that really is, in fact their position. White people are not oppressed anywhere in the world. That is not a possibility. They generally believe that about Christians too. You know, even in places like Pakistan or. It doesn't matter, Christians can't be oppressed. Saudi Arabia, Christians are depressed. You know, it's all fine. So we'll discuss some of those details with you. You know, I find that to be a very important, important case study. Uh, we've also got. I listened all morning, Clay, and it was very. I was, I was in charge of the baby for a while, so I was, I was taking care of baby, listening to Supreme Court arguments, trying to stay in the zone, you know, make sure baby's good, make sure. I'm hearing all the process and all the back and forth over the Supreme Court, and it's about the birthright citizenship executive order. Clay, you and I should talk about this a little bit. I'll tell you what I heard, what I picked up, and then you could tell me, you know, where you think this is all going and what's really happening here. It's a lot of process talk on a huge case that if it goes against the Trump administration eventually, today was really just on the injunction. What should happen now? It's not a final or it's not a final decision by any means. They haven't even heard the merits of the case. But this case, State of New Jersey coming forward to say, well, we are so harmed and this is so obviously outrageous that you have to do things right now to stop this before you even hear the merits. And it gets to universal injunctions, a lot of legalese stuff. We'll talk about it, but wow. The Biden decline cover up is something that people I think are seeing now clear that we have more and more details about this that are coming out. It's even. I, I don't know if it's worse than we thought, cuz we all knew and it was as bad as I think it could have been, but it was as bad as we thought it was going to be. And I also think that they're realizing that they're going to have to take their medicine on this. People are not buying the arguments on it. We've got a whole lot more information about, like the incoherent mumblings of Biden, all of this kind of Stuff. What do you, what do you make of, of this? Because it has really taken over the, the news cycle.
- [05:31]
Buck Sexton
Yes. So today's revelations are so, so let me take a step back. It is Thursday. The book comes out on Tuesday. It seems to me quite clear that they have decided, hey, we're going to have a new bad revelation every day between now and publication day. And I sort of think that there must be something truly explosive that they are holding for Monday or Tuesday that's even worse than what we've seen already. So just a refresher on what we've seen. George Clooney says that Biden didn't recognize him. They debated having to put him in a wheelchair. Today's revelations are many of Biden's top advisors. He couldn't remember their names. This is pretty crazy stuff. I mean, even for us to, I, I, I thought, hey, you know, Biden's pretty bad. I didn't think that he would be forgetting his top advisors names. And, and this is where I think it's even getting worse than maybe anyone thought that it could be. Does that make sense? So much of what you, how you react is expectations. If your kid, generally speaking, is a C student and he gets a D, you might be like, ah, man, what are you doing? You can do better than that. If you're a student, gets a D, you're like, you're grounded. You're not. What are you doing in your life? Right. You react differently based on what you expect from people. And this, this is the story. According to the New York Post, Biden couldn't recall his top aides names when they were in front of him. This is like, oh man, this is staggering. Including Donilon, the guy who was his Advisor since the 1980s. He forgot his name in 2019 during the 2020 presidential campaign.
- [07:41]
Clay Travis
That's what's, what's so important here is I assumed and Clay, this is before you and I were teamed up on this show. I had said on my show during the Democrat primary many times on the air, it can't be Joe Biden, guys. He has clear dementia.
- [07:56]
Buck Sexton
Yeah.
- [07:57]
Clay Travis
2019. OK. It was obvious to anybody who was paying attention that he had already declined substantially. What they're trying to pull now, I think their only hope of escaping with any integrity at all. This sort of journalistic blob in D.C. in particular is, oh, the decline was so rapid. It happened so quickly. He was fine until the election year or thereabouts. But that's also not true.
- [08:24]
Buck Sexton
Correct.
- [08:25]
Clay Travis
And we called him dementia Joe for four years I used to sit here and you know, in 2021 and 2022, I'd say, hey, Joe Biden should be out somewhere sitting on a park bench feeding the ducks. And yet he is commander in Chief. We all knew, we all said it. And now what comes out is everything that we, this is a little bit like Covid deja vu for those of us that are everything that we said and every joke we made and every snarky comment we dropped out of frustration. That there were so many lies is a hundred, was 100% accurate. It was the absolute truth.
- [08:59]
Buck Sexton
Here are a couple of details. Jake Sullivan was a longtime Biden aide multiple times in 2022 in public, meaning a lot of people knew Joe Biden called him Steve.
- [09:15]
Clay Travis
He does kind of look like a Steve, you know, and it is kind.
- [09:19]
Buck Sexton
Of funny and ridiculous. But this is the President of the United States. I'm not great with names. I screw up names all the time. I am not name guy. Some of you may be out there that I have screwed up. Now, I, I'm not good with names. But if you don't know your top advisors names, he called him Steve, beckoned for him to come over. And Jake Sullivan, who is out there publicly saying Biden is sharp as attack.
- [09:49]
Clay Travis
By the way, Clay, someone, someone's going to show up with a video where Biden in the Oval is, is looking right at Jake Sullivan. He's like, surely I told you not to burn the toast again. He's just, this is going to get really bad.
- [10:02]
Buck Sexton
Can you imagine in that room he calls Steve, Steve, get over here. And everybody's like looking around because there is no Steve. And then he called him Steve again. He also called his top assistant and current spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield. Press like these are people that are close to Biden. Ok. And this is where I come back. Sullivan, by the way, started to work for Biden in 2013. So he had been with him for a decade at that point. Kate Bedingfield started with the vice president in 2015. So we're talking about decade long relationships of people in close proximity to you.
- [10:41]
Clay Travis
No, of course, these are the, these are the top people in the White House. Clay, can you imagine, you know, if Trump was in his first term, if he had, if he had like looked at Ivanka and called her, you know, Cheryl or Susie or whatever. Right? Yeah, it would have been, it would have been a huge story and everybody would have been in, oh my gosh, he's got the nuclear codes and what are we going to do. And he's the commander in chief. These people all knew. They all knew what was going on and they hid this even though we all knew what was going on. And what's amazing is that you still had how many millions of people vote for Kamala and think that this was all fine and this was a better option than like, when you actually look at it, this is, it is terrifying that so many Democrats were like, you know what, it's ok. They try the dementia puppet thing. Let's go with Kamala now. Like, this was, this is the biggest, is it the biggest political. I mean, I gotta think now I'm like, hmm, there's some Trump stuff with the prosecutions. This is in some ways the most outrageous, though, because it is such an insult to our intelligence. They were insulting the intelligence of the American people in a way that we've.
- [11:50]
Buck Sexton
Never really seen before. The insult, the insult now is the press trying to cover up and say, how could we have possibly known? And what the answer is, somehow at least half of America watch these videos. But it wasn't just that they, oh no, they knew. They knew, but so they lied intentionally and attacked people like you and me. I mean, there are headlines still out there of us pointing out Biden's physical and mental frailty. And you had guys like Scarborough, I mean, Sharpe, you've known him for 50 years. And this is the best version of Biden. I mean, this is like, this is where you realize somewhat criminal, I think, Buck, which I haven't heard very many people talk about. But if you allow someone to be in a position of power who has dementia, it is, I think, criminal negligence on the part of the advisors to have permitted this to occur.
- [12:41]
Clay Travis
Well, what's the statute? I mean, you got to tell me what crime committed, I mean, I agree with you. It's, it's a betrayal of the country. It's reckless beyond words. But being, being dishonest morons, unfortunately, that they've got to lock up a lot.
- [12:52]
Buck Sexton
Of D.C. if that's, well, you go under oath, as many of these people did, and say Biden is fine, he's sharp as attack. I mean, there's pretty ample evidence now that many of those people are saying.
- [13:04]
Clay Travis
That, yes, I mean, if you want to get people on perjury, that's the statute. Yeah, if that's the case.
- [13:09]
Buck Sexton
I mean, at a minimum, you could get them on perjury. But I, I, I, I mean, this would be a great question for a U.S. attorney if, if there is a conspiracy to Cover up the health of the President of the United States who is unable to do the job. And remember when Hillary said there was a vast right wing conspiracy and everybody kind of ridiculed it about Bill Clinton? I think it is clear at this point that there was a vast left wing conspiracy to conceal Joe Biden's dementia. And there were many people who knew about this and chose to lie publicly, sometimes under oath, about his fitness to be President of the United States. I mean, the irony here, Buck, is all these people lectured us about being on the right side of history. And I believe they engaged in the most indefensible act in the White House that any of us, by and large have seen in any of our lives.
- [14:07]
Clay Travis
We can also just do a. We could do a super cut of. And I mean, some of these exact individuals that you're talking about whose names were forgotten by. And it's not, you know, when, when we're talking about Biden forgetting a name. It's not, you know, somebody saying something and then correcting themselves a second later. It's he probably had a conversation with the person with that name having no idea what the difference is because he has dementia, okay? Because his brain is not functioning the way that it used to. And all of these people, though, Clay, were making the case when Trump was in office that we should invoke the 20, that his adviser should invoke the 25th Amendment on Donald Trump. They all know what the 25th Amendment is. If this was not the time to invoke the 25th Amendment, why do we have it? Why is it even on the books? Is there a more clear cut case in the history of this country while that amendment has been enforced when it should have been used? No. And yet they used it as a political weapon against Trump and not as a tool to help the country and do their duty by the American people. This is, this is catastrophic, man. I mean, this. The amount of credibility and integrity and decency that has been just lit on fire in front of everybody, not just you, me, the right wingers, anybody with a brain who's paying attention knows this is terrible what they did.
- [15:30]
Buck Sexton
Let me tell you this. Sorry to cut you off, Buck, but the more I read about this, the more fired up I get. We had congressional hearings about January 6th. Why would Republicans not have hearings and an investigation into Joe Biden's dementia and the COVID up that Democrats provided for it and call all of these people under oath and make them testify about what they saw based on some of the revelations that are coming out in this book. Tell me why that wouldn't make sense.
- [15:59]
Clay Travis
Yeah, makes sense to me. We know some people.
- [16:02]
Buck Sexton
Have you heard anybody suggest it? I haven't heard anybody suggest it, but I mean, if you use Jan 6 as an argument, that's the worst day since the Civil War. That's what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris tried to say. Where does this rank covering up the President's dementia for years, in incredible danger that our country faced, not to mention who was the actual president.
- [16:22]
Clay Travis
Well, we also need to know, and there have been people raising the issue of the auto pen and its usage. Now, a lot of people use auto pens. It's not that there was an auto pen used by a president, it's did the President actually know that his signature was going on these things? Right. You know, if your wife says, sign my check and she says that's fine, it's not forgery, like you're not going to get in trouble for it, right? If you're signing checks and you're giving yourself money and people don't know, and that's, that's not okay. And the same thing would apply to the President.
- [16:52]
Buck Sexton
I mean, you're so right here. And I mean, there is significant examination, for instance, in contract rights. Did someone understand, did they have the wherewithal to bind themselves or a corporation to a contract based on their signature if they were not of sound mind to be engaging in it? In other words, if you are, and this is an, in an insane asylum, you can't sign away the property value of your house. You lack the functional ability to do that. It sounds to me like Biden did for most of his tenure.

Welcome back in Clay. Travis Buck Sexton Show I'm fired up. You guys can tell off air. Buck and I are talking about Biden's medical conditions and everything else. I think this question needs to be asked and we haven't had a significant examination of it before. The 25th amendment exists almost exactly for this situation when the President does not have the mental capacity to still be president anymore. What happens when the staff all knows that that's the case? And they hide him to try to prevent that from becoming known publicly. What is there criminal charges? Are there criminal charges that could be brought in that eventuality? I don't know that we've ever really examined it. Second part of this, Buck and I were just talking about it off air. What do you think Joe Biden's medical history actually shows? What did the doctors actually know about his medical condition? What did Dr. Jill Biden actually know about his medical condition? This was, I mean, I mean this is important and I think this is a phrase that you guys should adopt. This was a vast left wing conspiracy to lie about Joe Biden's cognition, about his mental and physical health. They all knew. Do not allow this story to become. They didn't know. We'll talk about it when we come back. In the meantime, AI everywhere, it seems as if your own business isn't using it. You're losing money, productivity and a competitive edge.

I know a lot of you are always saying to us, make sure we focus on what Trump is doing and we will continue to do that today. We try to do it every day. The good news is he's just got so much going that is in progress. We're updating you on it in the Middle east and the deals he's trying to accomplish there. We'll have more of the specifics when he gets back. Obviously while he's over there. Some of these things are still being negotiated, but we do know that there is reporting that Iran wants a deal on the nuclear program with Trump. Can Trump figure out something with Iran that is, look, we want Iran not to have nukes and we want to not have to go to war or engage in an extended aerial campaign that could lead into war against Iran.
- [24:05]
Buck Sexton
Right.
- [24:05]
Clay Travis
We're trying to accomplish both of those things if possible. That's what Trump is trying to accomplish. No war in the Middle east, no nuclear Iran. And be. And be confident in that. Be certain in that degree. You can be certain in anything. And we'll see if Trump is able to pull that off. It's so funny, Clay. He may in fact be worth, by the end of this administration, maybe by the end of this year, the Nobel Peace Prize several times over. They will never give it to him. Never ever. Cause that is just going right into the, the heart of the international elite. They will never give him the Nobel Peace Prize, even though. Well, that's why it's kind of become a joke. But we are watching this closely. You're also noticing we're not talking too much about the economy this week. That's cause. Hey, how's your 401k looking? Clay over there with his French cuff shirts with the monograms and the stock ticker behind him, I can just see it right now. We gotta get like a separate set for you on radio where Clay's like, all right, guys, we're talking stocks. He said, don't sell.
- [25:06]
Buck Sexton
If anything, buy.
- [25:08]
Clay Travis
It was good advice. It was good advice.
- [25:10]
Buck Sexton
And I will tell you, great advice.
- [25:12]
Clay Travis
I actually, I did buy the dip and, and it was a good move.
- [25:17]
Buck Sexton
Stocks are up for the year. That. That's the thing you need to know. And you know, things have gotten a lot better because they don't put the stock ticker up on cnn. They don't put the stock ticker up on msnbc. It is such a dishonest thing that when the stocks were going down, that was the lead story. Price of eggs. Let me hit you with this buck. Price of gas, nobody talking about it. Last night I went to an MLS game, $2.65. I drove past a Nashville area gas station, $2.65. It is continuing to come down even as we typically gas prices go up in the summer. People drive more. That's a general rule. It's down by half compared to what it was in the summer of 2022 with Joe Biden. Virtually zero media discussion. That's how most people recognize what the price of goods is. That's the thing they see and adjust and see price changing constantly. Gas prices, four year lows, you know.
- [26:20]
Clay Travis
And part of This, I think, is whether you're. When you're reporting on the news, you have to focus on what is important and you look for what is in conflict in those important areas. Right. So the economy, should we be spending more or how's the market going or where's unemployment and what can be done to change this and what are the policies? The opposition to Trump on these things right now is so weak as to be not even really worthy of time. That's just the truth. They're not mounting any real arguments against it. So we're updating you on what he's doing at some level because that's the only show in town. And it's going well. Right. If it was and when, when things were rough, what did we say? Okay, the market's down, it's going to be choppy, this is going to require a reset. But we think he knows what he's doing. Trust in this. And sure enough, here we are. So I just give you all that because we're watching, trust me, all Clay and I do is read the news pretty much all day long and set up stories to talk about because I. Because I know there can be a little bit of pushback on. Why are we talking about the Biden thing? Because we're just finding out the full extent of how dishonest and disgraceful it was. Yeah.
- [27:23]
Buck Sexton
And by the way, to people out there who say, well, we know he was bad. We know. Did you see what they did on January 6th? They spent four years marinating in January 6th. They had prime time hearings. They came out and told all of us it was the worst day since the Civil War. I would submit to you, this is way worse. And the media is going to cover it. And the Democrat brand, it's a big left wing conspiracy. If Republicans do their job and they hold all these people's feet to the fire, this will make January 6th look like a random BLM riot, which is basically what it was. And we saw hundreds of those we've never seen before in our lives.
- [28:09]
Clay Travis
I remember this Tapper publicly, Mr. Jake Tapper, who's co authored this book that is rightly being. Unfortunately, they're going to sell a ton of copies. So it is a smart financial decision. But the premise of it, which is we're the good guys for telling you the truth now, is absurd and just, just an affront to our intelligence and to the dignity of public discourse. But we're watching all the.
- [28:35]
Buck Sexton
But I do think that building on what you just said is important and why this is such a huge deal. They have to cover it to make themselves cleansed from their complicity.
- [28:46]
Clay Travis
Yes. There's no way around this. That's right. That's why they want control of the narrative to the greatest possible degree. And you've almost started to see some of them maybe with the beginnings of some contrition insofar as they would rather be thought dumb than dishonest. Just remember that they because they know dishonesty means you're never listening to them again. Dumb means oh, I'll do better next time. That's what they're going for here. But it actually was not that it was that they were dishonest. They are clever. Tapper I just wanted to point out and you can go check on Twitter public He was of the oh, you said that people shouldn't attack cops on January 6th. And I mean on the day and right after you're all complicit, you get no credit for it. Everybody who is speaking out against violence that day, you know, blood is on your he was one of those guys. He was a blood is on all your hands guys. And as we know, the only like substantial injury, or rather the only fatal injury was to a woman who was shot by a police officer as Capitol Hill cop in the neck. Anyway, Ashley Babbitt, which is still a stain on this country that that happened. But okay, so here we are now, Clay, and they're going to have to try to explain this to their own side. Wolf Blitzer, the most milquetoast of the CNN right? I think I nailed that one. Thank you.
- [30:06]
Buck Sexton
I think that's perfectly affirmation.
- [30:08]
Clay Travis
Yes. The most milquetoast of the CNN anchor stable over there. He starts with Hakeem Jeffries on ok, what did we know about this decline? Let's walk through this together, friends. This just happened. Last 24 hours. Play two. President Biden didn't even recognize George Clooney at a fundraiser. Why should voters trust Democrats when it's clear so many in your party went to great lengths to keep Biden's condition hidden, hidden from the public. I can't tell you what happened between George Clooney and President Biden that wasn't at that event.
- [30:40]
Buck Sexton
What I can say is that we're not looking back.
- [30:42]
Clay Travis
We're going to continue to look forward.

That's not going to work. The, the Old Potomac pivot. It's not, it's not gonna work. The. We're just looking forward now. No, actually, this is in many ways, Clay, I think the most for the honor and integrity, such as it is, of a political party in America. I've never seen anything like this before. I've never seen anything that. Is this. Because it wasn't. And no, I don't want to get it all. The January 6th was a different thing. You know, there was a whole lot of, there was a lot of rigging that went on in that election. There's a whole lot of reason for concern. It was mostly a, it was a mostly peaceful protest. It was mostly a protest and everything else. This was a, all the king's horses and all the king's men multi year conspiracy at the very top of the government day in and day out. It wasn't a protest that got too rowdy and that then was treated like it was, you know, Pearl harbor bombing. I think, and I think we need to see this for what it is.

Yeah. And, and, and that's why I think we need to have primetime congressional hearings. I, I, I just, I don't. If Republicans do not do this, they are incompetent because one, it's super important for the country. We can never have this situation occur again. Say whatever you want about Barack Obama. Say whatever you want about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush. Did anybody doubt that they had the mental faculties to make whatever choices they wanted to make? Of course not. I, I, I think, heck, I'd like to see Obama under oath. Why did Obama not pick Joe Biden in 2016? It's a real question that Biden has never really answered. I think it's because they could see already that he was in the early stages of dementia in 2016, and that's why he went to Hillary. Think about that. He didn't let his VP that was there for eight years take over. Now, I know they tried to say, well, Joe, you're just not doing well enough because your son died. I'm sure that was debilitating to Biden and probably did not help his descent into dementia. But was the death of his son partly what they used as a cover to explain his descent into dementia? Maybe it accelerated it. 2019, he didn't recognize the guy who had been his top Advisor since the 1980s. And I hate to say this, but you all know how dementia works. Some days you can have good days and you can think, hey, maybe it's not so bad.

I thought they, I this is where you and I see this a little differently. I think they thought they could thread the needle with a good day on debate night. And I don't know how they thought that. I don't know what the nap schedule.

Was or whatever or the drugs that they were likely shooting him up with right before he went out. And I, you know, you could look at his eyes. Remember us talking about how he would wear the sunglasses. But if you zoomed in on his eyes, the man looked hopped up on stuff like crazy when he was given some of these speeches. Remember how angry he looked? Remember how. I mean, I'm. There is zero doubt that they were shooting him up like crazy. Remember when he finished the State of the Union and he read, go get him? Do you remember that? And remember when he went to Ukraine and at the end he ad libbed and they were so angry at him about what he said at the end, like, we've got to tear down Putin or whatever it was. They. The guy could barely read off a prompter. But like an old ball player who's been doing something for a long time, he could be as good as he was for short periods of time, depending on day and time.

Clay Travis
I'm going to tell you this right now. If it was really about what was good for the country and going forward being more accurate and doing a better job. Where's your invitation? Where's my invitation to go on Morning Joe and explain why we knew this the whole time?
- [35:12]
Buck Sexton
Yeah.
- [35:13]
Clay Travis
When is the View going to say, hey, Buck, I want you to come on and just walk us through why you and Clay. And they could have both of us. It'd be fun. Why? You and Clay were right about this for years, to the point where it was almost like the mockery felt hackneyed after a while. It's like we've just done this joke day in and day out, day in and day out, because we're left with no choice.
- [35:35]
Buck Sexton
Why?
- [35:35]
Clay Travis
Did you guys get it right? No, instead, we're still some. We were right, they were wrong, but somehow they still feel morally superior in the situation. This is what you have to remember about Democrats. It doesn't matter that they look like absolute, well, liars and buffoons. It's. They did this to stop the bad team. The bad people were the bad people. Nothing else matters, which is, by the way, their entire ethos when it comes to dealing with Donald Trump. So is it surprising, Clay, that they would do this, given that they say, I, you know, they have me on Laura's show last night just to kind of laugh. There's these professors at Yale, as if that's supposed to impress anybody, it should not impress anybody. These professors at Yale who are leaving the country because they're experts in fascism and they can't handle all the fascism that's going on. So they're idiots and cowards because they're just abandoning their country instead of standing and, you know, no surprise there, right? Got to go find a tenured position somewhere else. But at what point do they just realize, you guys are wrong, you're insane, grow up and calm down.

By the way, we got another bit of breaking news that's another conspiracy theory I think, that we've shared on this show that now looks like it's true. Jim Jordan is investigating, and it appears he has found smoking gun evidence that Pfizer hid the results of their Covid shot to avoid it coming out before the 2020 election. So in addition to all the other rig jobs that were going on, the Wall Street Journal just published lawmakers investigating whether Pfizer waited to share results. And Jim Jordan just shared some tweets and emails that suggest that Pfizer's top execs intentionally prevented that from occurring, which obviously, given how close that was. And Jim Jordan now is going to come on the show with us tomorrow to be talking about that buck. So conspiracy theorists are on a hell of a run. You know, they're like a baseball team that's going like, 162, and, oh, everything they told you was a conspiracy. You wait a few months and. Or in this case, a few years, and it ends up being true.

Want to remind you all about the great work that's being done day in and day out by Preborn, an incredible organization that has saved hundreds of thousands. In fact, 350,000 babies over the last two decades and counting. And they can only do this because of donations from you, the pro life community. I understand Roe v. Wade is gone. I understand you're voting your conscience and you're taking action and the ballot box to protect life. But what are you doing day in and day out? Yes, you have to live your principles, your ideals. But there are organizations like this that are on the front lines. Preborn is saving babies right now, and they need your help. This is where you can make a difference. Preborn starts this whole process by welcoming a pregnant mom into their facility and giving a free ultrasound and letting that mom see the tiny heartbeat, the little baby growing inside her, and then talking to her about the options for support and care and love that she will receive if she chooses to give this baby life. And this works so often. And they only need $28 per ultrasound. You know, we had that wonderful VIP who wrote in, who said that for Mother's Day her husband gave her a 10 ultrasounds gift essentially in her name to Preborn. So that was $280. Think about that. 10 little babies that might be running around the world in the next, you know, the next year and years and years going forward because of that incredible gift. To donate securely, dial pound250 say the keyword baby. That's pound250 say baby or visit preborn.com buck that's preborn.com buck Sponsored by Preborn.

Hey friend, I know how this feels. Waking up exhausted after multiple trips to the bathroom and feeling embarrassed by sudden leaks. I used to be constantly on edge, searching for a restroom whenever I was out. Then I discovered Better Woman. I was skeptical at first, but two months in, everything changed. I experienced improved bladder control. No more heart stopping moments when I laugh or sneeze, less urge to go deeper and more restful sleep. I finally felt like myself again, confident and in control. Better Woman is natural, effective, clinically tested and trusted by Women for over 25 years. Ready to take back your control?

Podcasts and make sure that there isn't just some way for them to wriggle off on this one. And for those of you out there say, oh, we all know a lot of people at CNN and MSNBC still don't know about exactly how much of a lie they were told. And they've embarrassed. They've done the one thing you don't want to do. They've embarrassed the media because the media now looks really complicit cuz they were. But now that Biden is gone, they have to go after him. Here's a question Buck. What did Kamala Harris see? Do you really think the Vice President of the United States, given that there are reports Biden couldn't remember the names of his advisors, didn't know that Joe Biden's brain was gobbledygook? Of course she knew. She covered up too. She said she wouldn't even do anything different even though there was a dementia patient in the White House. She needs to have her feet held to the fire too. And don't even get me started on the evil that is Dr. Jill Biden. Imagine what she saw. We'll keep diving in on that.
