Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Let's have some fun. We're stacking wins in every direction. It is the three year anniversary of the Mar? A Lago Raid. For those of you who remember that day. I don't think it's consequential that we have some breaking news today on Department of Justice investigations. We are going to talk about that and how all of these things roll together. We got a couple of really interesting guests. Grant Napier, for those of you out in the Sacramento area. Grant was the play by play voice of the Sacramento Kings, the NBA franchise out there. They fired him during the days of BLM for simply tweeting all lives Matter. It's one of the most ridiculous cancellations that happened in a several year span filled with many different ridiculous cancellations. Good news, he has got a new job. But I do think that story is important to reflect upon and I think you will like the direction that Ed has taken as a redemptive arc. We'll talk about that a little bit in the second hour. He is set to join us in the third hour. The sort of Hollywood woke industrial complex is collapsing and that's occurring even in superhero movies which used to be the flourishing elements of the of the Hollywood establishment that was what made all their money. What's going on there? Ian Miller has got an interesting piece about the finances behind big Hollywood failures even in superhero movies. And I thought that was kind of a fun Friday right before we head out about 2:30 near the end of the show. The culture here is paramount and I think what we're seeing is so many different culture wins and much of what happened over what I would say the woke era of the last decade that started my big theory here is this started all around the time that social media took off and that suddenly everybody had instantaneous news and video on their phones and I think it drove the entire country crazy. And I think there is more and more of an acknowledgement of this across the political spectrum, particularly as it pertains to young people, where basically every school in America is suddenly circling around and saying, boy, it was crazy that we were letting kids sit around in classrooms on social media, texting all day long. And I really think that there is going to be an examination of the social media just sort of induction into this country and all of the toxicity that it unleashed and all of the falsehoods that it allowed to be embedded in the United States in particular, because the algorithms being run out of Silicon Valley were so far left wing that. That suddenly Americans thought the entire country was like the faculty lounge of a Portland area college. And I think what you've seen is a mass rejection of the insanity and a return in many ways to common sense. And so I'm going to break all this down. We got a lot of fun scheduled for you during the course of the show. Buck is in the mountains, I believe of North Carolina, not Asheville, but somewhere in the vicinity of Asheville. And he texted this morning that he is meeting many of our listeners there and that he is in a very pro Clay and Buck community. I think Buck is still scarred from living in New York City. Producer Ali will remember this when I took him to the Ole Miss Alabama game. And he had never been to a college football game as a kid. You know, grew up in New York City, and he's always basically under siege as a New York City conservative, as a New York City Republican voter. And I think he's still a little bit in shock by how nice other parts of the country are to him. I don't know if anybody else gets that sent, but since. But Ali, do you remember how Buck just couldn't believe how incredibly nice everybody was? He'd never been to the state of Alabama before. He'd never been to a college football game. And everywhere we went, people coming up to us, big fans of the show, big fans of the fact that he was visiting and going to his first college football game. And I was like a whole different universe that he had never seen before. And I know you live in New York City too, but did you get that sense? And he still, as he goes around to these other parts of the country, he's like, man, you know, people really are nice outside of New York City when it comes to knowing.
Producer Ali
Being punked.
Clay Travis
At first he was like, I could.
Producer Ali
Get used to this.
Clay Travis
Yes, yes. It is like when you actually get outside of New York and la, and I know we got a lot of listeners in New York and la. But this is why to me, college football fans are the backbone of American extraordinary awesomeness. And so I trust you, even if you happen to have the galler absolute ridiculousness to vote for teams that, that they're playing against. My University of Tennessee, Buck is in the Highlands. I think that's a broad area. I always hate to say for specific, you know, vacation time, oh, he's this exact location or whatever, but that is where he is and he says everybody is fabulous to him. So if you happen to be in that area, you might well see Buck walking around with his, with his wife and their, their little baby. So he is out. He will be back on Monday. But I wanted to dive into this three year anniversary of the raid on Mar A Lago. And it is not coincidental that as I sit down to talk to all of you, Fox News first on Fox. I'm reading from their Twitter account. This is 15 minutes ago. Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized a special prosecutor, Ed Martin, and pause here. This is the Ed Martin that many of you will remember we had on this program because Democrats refused to elevate him to, to be the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. and so as a result, President Trump put in place Judge Jeanine Pirro who is teeing off left and right over the crime rate in D.C. and we'll talk about that more during the course of the program. But Ed Martin is now in as a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of mortgage fraud involving Adam Schiff, said senator from California. And Letitia James, the attorney general of New York who prosecuted Trump. That is according to Peter Doocy. Ed Martin was on with us May 8th. That is an incredible decision and I think will work out phenomenally well. We also have news that a grand jury investigation has also been opened in New York into Letitia James and, and her behavior surrounding the decision to come after Trump for civil forfeiture relating to bank loans and all of that. I believe she got a verdict of $450 million, something in that universe. So that in and of itself is also turning into a big story. But I wanted to take us back in time a little bit because I believe this is when Trump won the Republican nomination for president. And and I think historically this is going to be seen as one of the biggest own goals, one of the most self inflicted wounds. I think as soon as Biden and his Department of Justice decided to try to put Trump in prison, they actually put Trump back into the White House. I think it would have been if they had not prosecuted. I think they would have been in a better position and in the 2024 election. But three days after the Mar A Lago raid. So this is a flashback. A couple of days after the raid, Merrick Garland finally had a press conference and said, this is rating the pre former President of the United States is a faithful adherence to the rule of law, and there is no politics involved in this at all. Remember, Merrick Garland himself said signed off on an unprecedented raid of the former president's home at Mar A Lago. Here's cut one. Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing. There are, however, certain points I want you to know. First, I personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second, the Department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken. All right, this very interesting in and of itself, because I believe, without a doubt, this is what put Trump into the White House. And I also want to play a couple of additional cuts that surround this. This was everyone out there trying to tell you, hey, there's actually nothing at all unacceptable about this raid. This is completely and totally normal. This was again, three years ago to the date when I believe Trump officially became the nominee. Here we go with, let's see, cut three. Former federal prosecutor Daniel Goodman saying we need to recognize and praise Merrick Garland for following the rule of law. Here's cut three. Barrett Garland, who has said very consistently, much to the frustration of some on the left, that he is following the facts and he's following the law wherever it goes. And so he took this action because he had probable cause to do so. And I'm sure he took this action because it was a significant and necessary move as part of this investigation. And if he doesn't take this action because of the backlash, then it is a political decision. So we need to recognize and praise Merrick Garland for following the rule of law. Oh, my goodness. I. I mean, now that we know also just how much of a sham it was we thought at the time. Remember, they took the photos of the classified documents on the ground. They even went through Melania's underwear drawer. I mean, this was absolutely bonkers. And now that we have had that case tossed by, thankfully, the federal district court judge in South Florida. A lot of people forget that case was even tossed in July of 2024 before Trump even won the election because it was found to be illegitimate. I do think it's worthwhile going back and listening to what all of the talking heads, the left wing loons said, including the now canceled Stephen Colbert. This feels even a little bit more delicious. Cut four. We learned the news of the FBI raid straight from the horse's ass because the former president posted the news on social media. These are dark times for our nation as my beautiful home, Mar a Lago in Palm Beach, Florida is currently under siege, raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. Well, of course it hasn't. No president has ever been as criminal as you are. Isn't it even more delicious that Stephen Colbert is gone when you listen to a clip like that? He was trying to tap dance on what he thought was the political grave of Donald Trump. He told his unfortunate audience. And maybe we can grab. I don't think this is in the cuts, guys, but can we grab the audio? I saw Buck retweet this. Can we grab the audio of John Oliver being upset at Jay Leno for saying the job of comedy is to try to talk to everyone and make fun of a variety of different groups. And John Oliver just being like, no, it isn't. My job is to be a left wing propagandist. It really is amazing how Trump has broken the brains of so many people in the comedic universe that I think without Trump may well have had much longer careers and certainly would have had much more successful ones. And by the way, one of those guys is Howard Stern. I saw the guy was one of the most revolutionary, whatever you think about him, one of the most revolutionary, aggressive, relentless in his, in his risk taking. And now he's turned into a complete and total pussy willow. He's just a shill for big bad interview he did with Joe Biden actually made me uncomfortably ill trying to watch it because it was such ridiculous propaganda. But we will talk about all that more. Plus, Sydney Sweeney is still in the news if you're in Las Vegas. American Eagle not backing down. They put her on that brand new massive sphere out there in her jeans. New York Times has a story up about it. They quote me in it. I mentioned that I had talked to the New York Times. Go figure. Their article is dishonest. We will continue to break all that down. In the meantime, don't be caught off guard when severe storms or other emergencies. Hit Get a pair of Rapid Radios Walkie talkies and these are phenomenal. I promise you are going to love them.

Welcome back in play Travis Buck Sexton Show I had the team pull this Jay Leno the John Oliver I was thinking about it because we played Stephen Colbert exalting for his audience three years ago over the Mar A Lago Raid. And Jay Leno sat down with the Ronald Reagan Institute recently and everyone on the left in comedy has been super frustrated with what he said. But I thought what Jay Leno said was just good basic common sense. And I think you just contrast what you're hearing from Colbert and what you're hearing from John Oliver and what you're hearing from left wing comedy in quotation writers and listen to what Jay Leno said and tell me if it isn't good old fashioned common sense here. It is funny, is funny. People even, you know, it's funny when someone who is not who. When you make fun of their side and they laugh at it. I just find getting out. I don't think anybody wants to hear a lecture. You know, to me it's just when I was with Rodney, it was also the economy of words get to the joke as quickly as possible. Why shoot for just half an audience all the time? You know, why not try to get the whole. I mean I like to bring people into the big picture. I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group, you know, or just don't do it at all. I'm not saying you have to throw your support or whatever, but just, just do what's funny. What John Oliver said is comedy can't be for everyone. It's inherently subjective. I don't think comedy, it's just what people want. I think our show clearly comes from a point of view. Most of these long stories we do are not party political. They're about systemic issues. I mean, I'm rolling my eyes at that. Um, the reality is Jay Leno is right. J and, and I do think maybe this is the next book I need to write. I do think if you go back and look at everyone that was culturally ascendant in the 80s and the 90s, whether it was Michael Jordan in sports, whether it was Jay Leno in late night television and Johnny Carson before him, whether it was Bill Cosby, leave aside the allegations against him. But in terms of the Cosby show, all of them, whether it was Sylvester Stallone or Mel Gibson or Arnold Schwarzenegger, all of them had one thing in common. They believed America was the greatest country in the history of the world. I really do think we have a lot of people of cultural influence now that would argue against that and may well even argue that American history isn't even good at all. And I think that's one of the inherent tensions that has been created. Look, we'll talk more about that, but in the meantime, you can talk with anybody and save a bundle if you got Pure Talk. Pure Talk has a plan right now that's just as good as all the big boys, but it can save you a thousand dollars over the course of the year. How much do you difference would $1,000 make for you at the end of the year? As you get to Thanksgiving, as you get to Christmas, as you get to New Year, start recognizing what expenses you got out there for all the kids and the grandkids. Start to think about the taxes you're going to have to pay in April. It can save you a bundle right now. And it's really easy to switch. You can keep your same phone if you want to or you can get a new one. You can also keep your same phone number. It's very simple. It's just $1,000 in your pocket. I use Pure Talk to talk to my 17 year old and my 14 year old. All you have to do is go right now to your phone, type in pound two five zero and say Clay and Buck. From the phone that you have right now, £2 50 say clay and buck. Welcome back in Clay. Travis BUCK Sexton SHOW Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We're rolling through the Friday edition of of the program. A lot of reaction rolling in. But I do think it is not a coincidence that the Trump administration on the three year anniversary of the Mar A Lago raid is upping the political pressure on all of his opponents. And I think the people that he is putting in charge of all of these different investigations are, I believe, a really impressive collection of legal minds. And I think there's a lot of nervousness that is quietly starting to set in as these investigations play themselves out again. Grand juries potentially in New York, grand juries potentially in D.C. grand juries potentially in Florida now, there are lots of complexities with all of these cases. So understand that there are statutes of limitation issues, that there are questions. Some people have tried to say, well, all of Russia is connected to Mar? A Lago. It's one grand conspiracy. And I've tried to say, well, I think that's actually a very difficult legal case to make. So some of these grand jury investigations may not lead to indictments. In fact, the jury, especially in places like D.C. which is overwhelmingly Democrat, might actually choose not to indict. But even then, this is becoming, I think, a significant story, at a minimum, for rectifying the historical record. And some will say, hey, it's sometimes hard to judge history. In fact, anyone with a functional brain should say this. It's hard to judge the impact of history when we're often in the midst of history. And I've told you guys a lot of times, boy, I would love to read books about the 2024 election that will be written 50 years from now, 100 years from now, after the passions of the moment have faded away and the story itself can just be told to see how people in the future will view all of this. I think that Trump is going to end up being seen as an incredible heroic figure. And I think his response to the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 is going to go down as one of the most iconic, indestructibly badass, frankly, moments in the history of the American presidency. In the short term, however, people are so fired up about Trump that they can't take a step back and think about what that said about America, what his response said about America. I can guarantee you 100 years from now, there will be people running for the presidency of America that will reference Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and as a kind of toughness and fortitude that they aspire to represent in the future in this country. But I think you can already start to see that using your power to try to put your political opponent in prison blew up in the face of the Democrat Party and actually made Trump stronger. What is the lesson going to be going forward? Well, if Kamala had gotten into office, the lesson, I think would have been try to put all of your political opponents in prison for the rest of your life. And some will say, well, that's what Trump's trying to do right now. So maybe the lesson didn't really take. I don't think so, because Trump isn't able to run for political office again. And right now, at least no one that Trump is focused on is his chief political adversary. Going forward, what Joe Biden did, what Merrick Garland allowed to happen, is unprecedented in the history of American politics. Joe Biden knew his chief political adversary was Donald Trump, and he decided the best way for him to beat Trump was to try to put Trump in prison. Trump is not doing that. He. The focus on Barack Obama. Barack Obama's political career is over. And we've told you he has presidential immunity, likely because of the Trump precedence. And therefore Obama is not going to actually face charges. Some people out there with big shows will tell you that he is. They try to get everybody riled up. I don't believe that's true. I think the evidence is virtually certain that Barack Obama will not face charges. Hillary Clinton's political career is over. If she were to face some form of charges. That is not ending her political career. This is very different than what Biden did and what Merrick Garland did. Now Trump can't run again, but pretend that. And by the way, I don't. One of the challenges is it's hard to even project who the chief opponent of President Trump would be in 2028. That is, who would the nominee be? Um, but this would be akin to if Trump were still in his first term, if he tried to put his chief political opponent in prison for the rest of his life. That's not what he's doing. He's investigating what they did to him and he's trying to get some form of justice associated with it. So that is what is underway in the process right now as we sit here three years after that Mar A Lago raid. And I believe history is going to show that Merrick Garland was the. The worst Attorney General in most of our lives. That he allowed the Department of Justice to be taken over by far left wing activists, that he didn't have a spine and backbone to stand up to them. That Joe Biden either directly led or was so mentally and physically out of it that he was unable to really control the direction of his White House directly, read, directly led all of these prosecutions. And I believe if Joe Biden were not 82 years old or whatever the heck he is, I think you would see right now that Joe Biden would be almost assuredly facing charges for a variety of different crimes. I think, honestly, have you noticed Trump isn't really focusing on Biden at all? I think Trump, deep down feels a little sad for Biden. There's not any. Think about that. There's no. All of the apparatus that Trump has arrayed in his Department of Justice right now. Hardly any of it is directed at Joe Biden himself. It's all the advisors surrounding Biden. I think Trump sees Biden frankly, as a dementia riddled old man and feels a little bit sad for him. And I, I can't say honestly that it's that much different than the way he responded to Hillary when he came in. Even Kamala, Trump's barely mentioned her. Most of his anger is directed at Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton still for what they did. A lot of people want to weigh in. Jerry from New York, W O R Radio. What you got for us, Jerry? What people forget is when Trump first announced, which is for his run for presidency almost a decade ago, Pope Bear had him on and loved him. And you know, people like Morning Joe, you know, shows like Morning Joe couldn't get enough of him because they figured they'd send him to the slaughterhouse against, against Hillary as the easiest opponent. But if he was so corrupt, the fact that they would promote him makes them the corrupt ones. Yeah, well, look, I mean, we've talked a lot about this program. They didn't realize what Trump was or what I think is his unique political abilities until it was too late for them. And this is why I've said on the show, and I will, I will go to the mat for it 2027, as soon as the midterms are over. Cause you're going to hear a lot of, oh my goodness, we have to win the House of Representatives because Trump is Adolf Hitler. Trump is a dictator. Trump is an authoritarian. We know what the Democrat message is going to be. They're going to run it like crazy all the way through 2026. And then as soon as the midterms are over, they may come out and try to impeach Trump. But we all know that's just political show. If they win the House of Representatives. But very quickly in 2027, as all of the Democrats start to announce and as the Republicans that are going to run for president get prepared to announce, you're going to see a massive pivot in media. You're going to see it from the Democrat Party. You're going to see it all start to take place. And what they are going to say is something very different than what they've said for the first 12 years of Trump. They are going to say he is one of the most talented politicians of any of our lives. And Republicans are never going to be able to replace the vote tallies that Trump produced. Some of you think that I'm crazy on this. I said this on Fox business yesterday, I think, with Stuart Varney on his show, and he thought it was a crazy argument. I'm telling you, you may think it sounds crazy, but they are going to pivot almost overnight as soon as the midterms are over. From Trump is Hitler to Republicans are never going to be able to have as talented of a politician as Donald Trump for the rest of their lives. They're going to say it doesn't work for J.D. vance. They're going to say it doesn't work for Marco Rubio, for Ted Cruz, for anybody else that's thinking about running. They are going to say none of them are going to be able to approach Trump's appeal. You're gonna move very quickly from Trump is Hitler. True. Trump is one of the most talented politicians in any of our lives, and Republicans are never gonna be able to replace him. I'm just telling you exactly how it's gonna go. Sometime about May or June of 2027, you're gonna look up and you're gonna say, holy crap, Clay was exactly right. They have pivoted overnight. From Trump is an existential threat to our country. He's gonna get us. He is Hitler. He hates black people, he hates Hispanic people, he hates Asian people. To overnight. Boy, he's one of the most skilled politicians we've ever seen. We'll take some of your calls. By the way, it is Friday, 800-282-2882. As I said, I really think you're going to enjoy this conversation we're going to have at the top of the next hour with Grant Napier, who is was formerly a basketball announcer, fired for simply saying All Lives Matter. And I do think that the conversation that we had yesterday was an interesting one. Think about how much different all of the BLM era would have been if instead of focusing on black lives that were in some way implicated or taken by police officers. Imagine if we had actually had All Lives Protest conversations. All Lives Matter Protestants, because that was considered racist back in 2020 to say all Lives Matter was detracting from Black Lives Matter. Isn't it crazy that we had that entire 2020 era? So many people lost their jobs and the overall violent crime rate skyrocketed. Thousands of additional people who should be alive today were murdered. Most of them were black. And all of that happened because of Black Lives Matter protest. I don't think there is a single positive that came out of the Black Lives Matter protest. Even the Black Lives Matter organization itself, which raised hundreds of millions of dollars, basically squandered all that money. And imagine if we had had a national conversation back in 2020, if we had just said, hey, let's really try to address violent crime. Let's try to prove that all lives matter by having a massive attempt to cut the murder rate in half. Do you know who would benefit the most by the murder rate being cut in half? Black people. Yet we didn't have that conversation. Instead, if you said all lives matter, let's try to have less death, let's try to have less violent crime across the entire racial spectrum, let's have less murder, which I would think everybody would be in favor of. You got fired. It's one of the craziest things I've ever heard of, ever seen. That is how, that is how bonkers the entire country went in the summer of 2020. And one of the biggest penalty cancellation stories that was out there was Grant Napier, who simply was no longer allowed to work in sports. It's not even like he was a politician for simply tweeting all lives matter. That conversation the next hour I think is an important one that we need to have all of that headed that this direction. But in the meantime, I want to tell you about my friends at Birchgold. You know, I'm a history nerd and all throughout history going back as far as you can possibly imagine, there has been a flight to gold, which is the most durable, most long lasting, most reliable object out there when it comes to retaining value.

Clay Travis
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we rolling through the Friday edition of the program. A lot of you weighing in so I'm going to try to take as many of these reactions and your calls as I can. Jerry from we just had this one right? Or is that a different one? I'm caught up in my numbers Here, let's see. Teddy from Greensboro, North Carolina. DD Fire away. If he's in Highlands, he needs to go to bust your butt falls and jump off the cliff. I'm a 62 year old man and I did it for the first time this past summer. He should try it. I have, I have no idea what he's talking about. I have never been to the Highlands. But people in Colorado are upset because I said that Buck was in the mountains and that they're not the real mountains. Here is C.C. donnie from Colorado. Hey, Clay. Donnie from Colorado here. Love the show. You guys are doing great. When you said Buck was in the mountains, I was like, oh cool, maybe I'll run into him. He's in Tennessee. Those aren't mountains. I, I love the laugh at the end, is it not? I mean, they're called the Great Smoky Mountains. Clingman's dome is pretty high up in the sky. I don't know. Are, is this height shaming, is this even allowed? Are people from Colorado able to just call in and ridicule the idea that other people can go to the mountains? Is no other mountain. I, I mean I, I like Colorado. It's a fabulous state. I wish it was not run by communists, but I gotta tell you, I feel like the Great Smoky Mountains, the most visited national park in the entire country. I think Colorado guy there, I think you come to the Great Smoky Mountains with that kind of take. I'm just going to say you might be running down the mountain, the Great Smoky Mountain from Clingman's Dome, amazingly high in the sky, with your tail tucked between your legs. I think people in the mountains of Tennessee, the mountains of North Carolina, would take offense to your mountain shaming because you happen to live in Colorado. In my opinion, Buck is in the mountains, not the Colorado mountains. Every time I think about the Colorado mountains, by the way, I think about Coors Light. I wouldn't mind a Coors Light right now. It's a great act. Back when beer companies actually made ads that made people want to drink beer instead of made people want to take your beer and throw it at television screen. We come back, one of the most ridiculous casualties of the BLM era. If you said all lives matter in the summer of 2020, you could lose your job. Think about how bonkers that is and was. This guy lost his job for that. Grant Napier. He was the radio announcer for the Sacramento Kings. I think you guys are going to want to hear this story. And I think it's important to remember just how crazy those Communists were. We'll talk about it next.
