Clay Travis
Welcome back in. It is the start of a new week. We appreciate all of you who are beginning Monday with us. Let's have some fun as we roll throughout the course of another week here with all of you. We appreciate all the time that you spend with us and it was a bombshell of a week last week with Minneapolis News, Iran News, the Greenland talk, the continued fallout of Venezuela. All of that still continuing. Several things we'll be tracking over the course of this week. There's actually a Supreme Court case, I can't believe it has come to this. On whether men should be able to compete in women's sports. That is being argued tomorrow. Uh, there is the possibility we could get some rulings from the Supreme Court on the Tariff case this week as well. But, Buck, the larger context of the Minneapolis ice shooting took over much of pop culture over the course of the weekend. Whether it was sports, whether it was the Golden Globes. And I thought I would play some of this for you because the dishonesty that is coming out across the pop culture landscape, that I think deserves to be called out. And frankly, I think you need to know what your kids or grandkids might be hearing. Inside of the world of entertainment and sports, pop culture writ large, here is Wanda Sykes. She is a comedian wearing a pin to honor Renee Good, who she says, well, just listen to what she had to say. Cut 11. This is last night in Hollywood, of course.
- [03:52]
Buck Sexton
This is for the mother who was murdered by ice agent. And it's really sad. And, you know, I know people are.
- [04:02]
Clay Travis
Out marching and all today, and we.
- [04:04]
Buck Sexton
Need to speak up. We need to be out there and shut this. This rogue government down, because it's. It's just awful what they're doing to people.
- [04:15]
Clay Travis
Okay, that was in the Golden Globes, Buck. I want to play a couple of these. This is crazy, and I'm not surprised by it, But I think a lot of you may be sort of in disbelief that this would happen. Golden State warriors basketball coach Steve Kerr, in the aftermath of an NBA game, had this to say. This is cut 19. Him going after ice again. This is a sports press conference after a basketball game. Cut 19.
- [04:42]
Buck Sexton
I'm glad that the Timberwolves recognized, you know, her life and the tragic nature of her death.
- [04:49]
Clay Travis
And it's shameful, really, that in our.
- [04:52]
Buck Sexton
Country, we can have law enforcement officers.
- [04:55]
Clay Travis
Who commit murder and seemingly get away with it. It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all.
- [05:05]
Buck Sexton
Come out and disputed what the government is saying. So very demoralizing, devastating to lose anyone's.
- [05:12]
Clay Travis
Life, especially in that matter. So it's terrible, terribly sad for her family and for her and for that city.
- [05:20]
Buck Sexton
And I'm glad the Timberwolves came out and expressed that sadness.
- [05:24]
Clay Travis
All right, and then here is cut 20. This is Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers, another NBA coach, in another post game press conference. For those of you who are not sports fans, this is where the coaches come and just answer questions about what happened in the game and answer questions players do typically. Here is Doc Rivers. He is the Milwaukee Bucks head coach.
- [05:46]
Doc Rivers
Listen, what happened in Minnesota is. Was straight up murder, in my opinion. And it's awful. You know, it's like, lady was probably Trying to go home and she didn't make it home. And that's really sad. So this, the whole ice thing is. It's a travesty. You know, it's clearly to me, it's where we're attacking brown people. And I just happen to be brown. And I don't think it should just be brown people who are upset at this. I think we all have to be. I don't care what side of this thing you are on politically. What's going on in our country right now is absolutely wrong. As far as the race stuff, the politics. I'm not going to get into the race stuff. I will. And it's just wrong and we have to do something. But the only thing we can do right now is keep speaking up because it doesn't seem like they care. And that's troublesome.
- [06:34]
Clay Travis
Okay, Buck, that is Golden Globes and the NBA. So entertainment and sports craziness all. Much of what those guys said was factually inaccurate. In particular, Doc river saying she was just trying to go home. I mean, there's a video of her parking her car perpendicular in the road and blowing the horn for three minutes. But how do you respond to this? What should, what should happen here? I got a couple of big thoughts on the NBA front, but I'm curious your reaction to all three of those clips that obviously took over the pop culture weekend.
- [07:09]
Buck Sexton
Oh, there's so many things, Clay. One is that it is certainly possible to be a top level NBA coach making tens of millions of dollars in your career to coach a kid's game. And I say that with love. Kids games can be great, but you can also be a moron and be a head NBA coach. That is definitely the case or it's true really of any professional sport. But the NBA is showing us that you can be a person of no virtue, wisdom or knowledge whatsoever about the world around you, but you can still be good at coaching basketball. It's also a reminder of why I don't watch the NBA. And I understand it's. Some people might argue, well, it's not fair to punish all the players. Well, okay, where are the players who think that this is gross, by the way? There are none really who will speak out. We all know that. And if there one does, we'll all hear about it because it would be so rare. So I don't like the NBA and this is a large part of why. Although I also think it's turned into a kind of boring pick and roll three point shooting contest. That's a whole Nother part of the conversation I missed. I missed the NBA of the 90s, the Jordan era, and I've abandoned it as a result. Clay, the other part of this that really bothers me though is that this has nothing to do with, with people who are morally outraged at what they call murder. If I walked around and sat with every single person that we could play clips from over the weekend what they think about Harold Harper's murder, they would have no idea what I was talking about. Absolutely no idea. And you might sit there and say, well, hold on a second, Buck. I don't know either. Yeah, and that's on purpose. Harold Harper was killed here in my home state of Florida just a few days ago. He was gardening in his yard. He's A white guy, 64 years old. A random black guy, 29 years old, walked up behind him with a pistol and murdered him execution style in his own yard while he was gardening. No contact, no conversation, nothing. Nothing. Now you might say, well, hold on a second. That's like the most horrible thing I've ever heard. By the way, state of Florida, we don't mess around here. Second degree murder. This guy's gonna go away for the rest his life. But this situation happens thousands and thousands of times over across the country. This situation of a random person murdering somebody, in this case black on white crime is a far, far bigger issue by the numbers than this woman who not only was shot and it was, it was lawful, but the more information we find out about this, she was kind of a lunatic agitator. There's video that shows this quite clearly. The. The ICE officer did nothing wrong. So, Clay, why is it then that they focus so much? Why does this thing that happened in Minnesota capture the imagination, the attention of all these idiot celebrities in Hollywood and all these moron NBA coaches and all the rest of them. It's because they get to be make believe civil rights hero for the day. They get to pat themselves on the back. This is about standing up against a policy that is targeting brown people. It's racist. Therefore I'm the good guy. That's all this is. The actual facts of the case mean nothing to them. They will not change their minds. And they're actually not outraged by heinous murder, which is not what happened in Minnesota anyway, because heinous murders happen every day that they could care less about.
- [10:30]
Clay Travis
I think that's all very well said on the NBA front. I actually have a potentially provocative go figure take on this that I think would be really interesting. Both of these guys said that this ICE agent committed murder. That's a pretty defamatory thing to say. Now, the standard of. The standard of legality when it comes to defamation in public cases like this is quite high. But the NBA mandates that coaches do post game press conferences. This is a part of their contract. They have to show up, they have to answer questions. If they do not do it, they get fined. I think there is an argument to be made that, and I'm not sure again that he would win. But if this ICE agent file filed a defamation lawsuit against not only these NBA coaches but also their teams and the league, I think it could lead to some really interesting outcomes here. Because, look, I think there should be consequences when you say inflammatory things that are not supported by the evidence here. Okay? Murder in this case, it should not be charged. And I think it quite evidently, based on the videos that have come out, should not be charged. Doc Rivers was 100% wrong when he's saying, oh, this woman's just trying to get home and she gets murdered. That didn't happen at all. There's no basis in fact whatsoever for that.
- [12:00]
Buck Sexton
She blocked her car for minutes aggressively on video. She blocked rather ICE agents with her car. She was obstructing. She was breaking the law. And really, Clay, what this comes down to is that Democrats have convinced themselves that laws they do not like don't count. Yeah, that's it.
- [12:18]
Clay Travis
And think about what the law they don't like is. It's that people who are illegally here, oftentimes having committed violent crimes shouldn't be arrested by ICE and removed. Removed from our country. I mean, that's a crazy thing to try to stand in front of and keep from actually happening.
- [12:35]
Buck Sexton
You could add to that, they think that if they don't like a cop enforcing the law, you can just stand in. You know, think of the way you could play this game, right? Oh, a cop is. A cop is chasing somebody down the street. Fleeing felon. And I run and I play the like, oh, oh, I play like defensive linemen for the fleeing felon. That's obstruction.
- [12:55]
Clay Travis
Ok?
- [12:55]
Buck Sexton
It's not OK that I run and try to block the cop from tackling the bad guy. That's exactly what they're doing here. And they think they have some moral right to do it and they don't. And we saw how they treat people that trespass on their sacred day of January 6th. Sending the f. The only thing the FBI was apparently able to do of any consequence during Biden's four years in office was track down nonviolent J6 protesters and. And the ones who assaulted the cops. Because people get assaulted, or rather cops get assaulted by leftist lunatics day in and day out, and they don't send the FBI after them. In fact, Kamala raises money for them.
- [13:29]
Clay Travis
Not only that, they want more of these situations. I saw this clip, and I figured we would grab it. This is a woman standing. Several women standing in front of an ICE agent, making loud noise, banging drums, screaming directly in the face of ICE agents as they're trying to do their job. Listen to what they're having to put up with right now in Minneapolis and other blue cities out there. Cut 21. I mean, this is organized protest chaos. And it's designed to try to lead ICE agents to doing exactly what happened. They want people to get shot and killed. That is their goal here. And they're putting people in these situations and trying to create them.
- [14:36]
Buck Sexton
They also recognize that their plan, which was to replace the American voter with third worlders as fast as possible. People say, oh, but they don't. They can't vote. Really. Okay, let's put aside the voter fraud component for a second. They have kids here. And then, guess what? They raised the kids to vote for amnesty. They push the Democrat Party in whatever way they can to vote for amnesty. You have states that are giving illegals money for health care and a whole range of other things that rely on federal dollars. So you're paying for it, too, I might add. The whole scam is starting to come apart because the Trump administration is, in fact, keeping its promise. One, securing the border. That's a plus. They've already done that. The harder, longer part is the deportations. They're doing it. It's not as fast as I would want it to be, but, you know, I'm not going to complain when they're the only ones that have been willing to take up this fight in a meaningful sense. And they are. And they're ramping it up, Clay, and they're getting better at it. And it's only year one in the book so far.
- [15:36]
Clay Travis
Yeah, look, it's 2.5 million, it seems, of the 20 million. That's a number that Tom Holman told me, so that's the one I'm referencing. He thinks 20 million illegals were in the country when Donald Trump came into office in January of last, and that so far we have gotten rid of about 2.5 million of those illegals. That would suggest, Buck, that even if we kept this exact same pace, that half of those illegals would still Be here at the end of the Trump term and you have to be concerned, and this is the big part too, that they'll just open the border back up as soon as they end up president again.
- [16:10]
Buck Sexton
I, I usually, I'm the one that throws the cynicism out there. So I appreciate that Clay is pointing out this time that this could be a mess. However, Clay, I do think what you said is absolutely true. But what is really important is just as with border security, now we see what is possible. Now it is beyond a doubt that they made a choice not to secure their border before it can be done, because it has been done. If Trump deports and helps or, you know, pushes for self deportation, 5 million, 8 million, whatever the number ends up being, the next presidential election happens with us saying, hey guys, we got 6 million illegals to leave. How about 6 million more? Do you see what. You know what I mean?
- [16:53]
Clay Travis
Yeah.
- [16:54]
Buck Sexton
At this point, it's impossible. We can't do anything.
- [16:57]
Clay Travis
I just think that they are going to immediately go right back to open borders if I'm slapping that black pill.
- [17:04]
Buck Sexton
Out of your hand. No black pill here. We're not, we're not giving up, Clay. It's going to, it's going to be.
- [17:09]
Clay Travis
We got to win multiple races in a row because I think they will go right back to the same policies if they end up in a position of power again.
- [17:18]

Buck Sexton
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. So we have a lot that we're going to be discussing with you today. We're going to continue on with our conversation here momentari about the big pushback the Democrats are trying to get going. You know, their hearts aren't really in it, Clay the same way because it's a white woman. It's the truth. It's just not, not a, not a sacred martyr to the left. I view all human beings as inherently equal in dignity. And the right, conservatives, that is a foundational element of our philosophy. So if a person is killed unjustly, whether they're white or black or Asian or Hispanic, all that matters is a human being lost their life. Now, in this case, I don't believe it was unjust. But put that aside, the value of the person in the situation should be in no way less or greater dependent upon skin. The Democrats reject that. They reject that because this is all about narrative building and this is all about victimology. And a white woman, in this case a white lesbian, is just not able to rally the troops, so to speak, quite the same way that a George Floyd situation is. But Clay, they're trying very hard and I think it's clear they believe that if they can defeat Trump on immigration enforcement, the whole administration collapses. So they're going to throw everything they have into this.

Couple of news stories out there relating to Minneapolis as we continue to break down everything there and beyond because we do need to get into Iran as well, which may be the most significant story taking place anywhere in the world right now. The Trump administration says they are surging an additional 1,000 ICE agents to Minneapolis as the tension continues to grow on the ground there and as president pressure on the ICE agents doing their jobs continues to grow as well. And I got a couple of cuts. Here is an agitator confronting a reporter aggressively. This looks really quite crazy on video, but I think you'll be able to pick up on it on audio, too. She's furious about the reporter there. Until the reporter says, hey, hey, it's okay. I work for cnn. And the criticism immediately stops. I don't even know if you've seen this yet, but 32 smaller crowd. This is controlled. The scene spans several blocks. We are here at Portland avenue and East 35th, but it goes at least two or three blocks. Thank you.
- [25:15]
Buck Sexton
Hold on.
- [25:15]
Clay Travis
I'm sorry, we're with CNN. It's okay. Thank you. Thank you for your help. I'm sorry. I think people are getting upset. So that, that is the latest here on the ground, guys, and I'm going to send it back to you.
- [25:26]
Buck Sexton
So hold on a sec. Yes, if, if she had said FOX News, oh, yeah, there would have been a spit noise. There would have been curses. It would have gotten. We all know this. CNN is part of this whole lunacy. Part of this really. Maybe one of the chief organs of cnn. Wait, wait, no. Was it fiery but mostly peaceful? Was MSNBC or cnn?
- [25:54]
Clay Travis
Cnn.
- [25:54]
Buck Sexton
It's cnn. This is actually in my book. That's why I'm trying to remember this one. I'm like, I remember I wrote about this. It was cnn. That's right.
- [26:01]
Clay Travis
As the, as the police station is.
- [26:04]
Buck Sexton
Burning, is burning behind them. It's like, it is fiery, but mostly peaceful. That is the classic. But you see, that was one of those moments where in one line, the entire lie upon which the, the, the edifice of journalism was built crumbled. In one line we all saw. Exactly. Mostly peaceful while everything's burning down. You know, like it was mostly peaceful that day in Japan when Nagasaki was made to glow in the dark for a while. I mean, it was mostly peaceful in the rest of the country.
- [26:34]
Clay Travis
You could say it was mostly peaceful in the United States when Pearl harbor was attacked. Now, Pearl harbor itself, very, very. Not a very good place to be, but it was.
- [26:43]
Buck Sexton
Anyone in danger in Massachusetts When Pearl harbor was getting bombed, oh, it was such a big deal. You can play this game all day long. That's what the media does. They just misdirect and lie. But the fact that cnn, you have these lunatic purple haired. When we say blue hair, we don't mean old people. We mean people that dye their hair purple. And if you have purple dyed hair, you listen to our show, well, you're obviously one of the good ones, ok? But I would point out to you that most people think you're probably a communist, but we love you because you listen to us.
- [27:11]
Clay Travis
Here is we talked to Breca Stoll on Friday. Credit to her and the all the reporters that are actually there on the ground interviewing these crazy protesters here. You know, Buck, before today's protest began, they had a land acknowledgement in Minneapolis, Clay.
- [27:30]
Buck Sexton
Of course they did. Of course they did.
- [27:32]
Clay Travis
So they had a land acknowledgment saying, I mean, this was the purpose of this land acknowledgment. No one can be illegal in the United States because all of us who are not Native American are illegally here because we have come and stolen land. And so Breca stole said, what does no one is illegal on stolen land actually mean? Here is Cut33, an interview by her of one of these protesters.
- [28:00]
Buck Sexton
I see a lot of signs that.
- [28:02]
Clay Travis
Say here no one is illegal. What does that mean?
- [28:07]
Buck Sexton
This is. It was not ours and it is, we need to take care of it. I've seen here and native people are.
- [28:22]
Clay Travis
All over the Americas.
- [28:24]
Buck Sexton
They go up here more than a lot of us. Wait, Clay, we give them back the land. We should be good stewards of the land. We should be good stewards. Okay, so we're not question, should we.
- [28:37]
Clay Travis
Give the land back? I mean, so this is all performative.
- [28:40]
Buck Sexton
But here's the incredible irony. My friends, these lib lunatics, they love the land acknowledgments, Clay. And you know what they're saying with the land acknowledgments? The people that were here first have some special claim to the land. They're doing land acknowledgments to oppose American citizens saying we have rights to this land that the people that just arrived illegally don't have. So getting here first only matters in the context of the native peoples. Being here as an American means nothing to them. How is that possible?
- [29:21]
Clay Travis
But then it begs the question which she asked and I give her credit. Well, should we give the land back if it's stolen? I mean, the argument they're trying to make is if everybody is here illegally, then there is no illegal trespassing. There's no illegal aliens.
- [29:37]
Buck Sexton
This is why the central religious belief of the Democrat Party is race communism. And, Clay, this caught on. We talked about it a lot here in the Israel, Palestinian Hamas thing. The reason that American leftists view it the way they do is because it's brown versus White. It's Jerry Seinfeld versus oppressed brown people, rather, and Jerry Seinfeld's the bad people. Like, that's the way they think about this.
- [30:03]
Clay Travis
Totally.
- [30:04]
Buck Sexton
That's the way they think of everything. That's the way they think of ice, that's the way they think of housing prices, the way they think of crime. Everything is race communism. But I also think this is fascinating because if you get to the level of implementation on and we. Clay, I'm going to start the top of the next hour with the Portland police chief.
- [30:21]
Clay Travis
It's crazy.
- [30:22]
Buck Sexton
You guys haven't. This is. This is incredible. We're not going to get to it now. I want to. I want to save it because it just shows you there really is like a low T pandemic for Democrat men in this country. And I mean that. And I'm somebody who's worked on getting his T levels up, because when your T levels drop at middle age, it's bad. You want to bring those T levels up as a guy, otherwise you start crying at land acknowledgments for the native peoples.
- [30:47]
Clay Travis
Or you pull a Jacob Frey and.

You cry at George Floyd's casket. Like, you, by the way, George Floyd. If George Floyd had met Jacob Frey at some point, he probably would have been in the course of a crime. George Floyd was a home invader, okay? This guy was a career felon and a drug addict. If him and Jacob Frey had ever crossed paths in a meaningful way before that, guess what? It would have probably been while he was robbing him. So the fact that he is on one knee crying at the casket is just indicative of what lunatics these people are on the land. Acknowledgments, things, Clay, I'm just wondering, what is the boundary of the ends? So there's all these different tribes. If we stole their land, was there any land here that wasn't theirs? It's a really big country. There were maybe, estimates are, I think, something like 6 to 10 million natives in all of the Americas when we arrived. I mean, when I say Americas, I mean the lower 48. OK? In the lower 48, 6 to 10 million. So do they just get to claim the Whole thing. Well, what's interesting is actually their claims to land were only backed up by one thing. Do they have more guys who can scalp the other guys next door who also want to hunt on that land? That's it. There's no special religious claim to the land that they can actually call upon that is not rooted in the ability to inflict violence in a more effective way than their neighbors. And guess what? We came along with guns and steel and said, actually, we're better at this than you. This is our land now. I'm sorry that this is the way the world has always worked, but it is still the way the world works. Pay attention. Greenland.

This is where I look at these land acknowledgments. I mentioned this. I think I can say the school now because my son has done his full applications. I don't want to hurt him if he ended up wanting to try to go there. Georgetown University is a great school, right? Historically has been a really, really good school. When they have you visit the Georgetown University campus. Yeah, I mean, this is real. I thought we were being pranked. They began the tour, all the tours, by saying, we are on stolen land right now. Georgetown in Washington, D.C. they begin their tour of the campus, which is designed to convince you that this is the greatest school on the planet and that your kids should to go there by saying, this is all stolen land. Now, that's the only. I went to a bunch of campus tours with my oldest son, who's a senior now. So I went to a bunch of these campus tours, as one does. If your kids are looking at colleges, that's the only one that I saw that. I'm sure there are others that also do the stolen land acknowledgments. But my son, to his credit, was like, dad, I don't think I can go here. He said, if, if, if the school is such that they begin the first time you ever meet the school, basically on the tour, their preliminary introduction to you is, we're on stolen land. He was a smart enough kid to say, I don't think that I would really fit in very well here. If the stolen land acknowledgment is so foundational to the university and the way they see each other and see it, see themselves, that they have to make that the introduction. And I have to imagine there's a lot of other smart kids like him that are looking around, certainly a lot of parents that are like, I'm not paying the tuition, that I would have to go there. It's a religious School, It's a religious school.
- [34:19]
Buck Sexton
Well, it's, it's theoretically a Catholic school, but unfortunately it's actually a race communist school.
- [34:24]
Clay Travis
I mean, this is an example of what you're talking about. That, that place has been so culturally overtaken that this is the way they began their, their tours for prospective students. It was, it's bonkers. I, I couldn't believe it when it happened.
- [34:40]
Buck Sexton
It's, it's something you're going to keep seeing. But really ask this question, first of all, the question that was asked there, okay, so should we give the land back? That's very important because who would we give it back to? And who do we take it from? And do we pretend that there hasn't been, I don't know, has there been some value add in this country? Overwhelmingly from white settlers and blacks who were brought here in this country in chains. Those were the two people, the two groups of people who for a couple hundred years basically built America. Okay. And now there's been more Latinos and more Asians. But there's been some value add that has gone on in America since it was people living in the Stone age with tomahawks, etc. So do we just forget about all that and we give it all back? Like, do the native tribes get to be our overlords? Is that how this is supposed to happen? I mean, they already get all the free casinos and they don't pay the taxes. But I'm just wondering what, what's supposed to happen here?
- [35:32]
Clay Travis
Well, I mean, look, I think it's a really good example. A couple years ago when I got to go to Australia, they have national Sorry day and Land acknowledgement and Apologize day and all this craziness that goes on in Australia right now. Australia is far better off otherwise. You're just going to say basically this is like a primitive tribe, which is what these people were. They were living in primitive, often incredibly dangerous, you know, deadly dangerous, not very productive, long life societies. It's not like they were noble savages, which is one of the things that, you know, Thomas Jefferson got wrong. Right? I mean, they were living in an era basically of the Stone Age.

I have a fascinating book, I'm staring at it right now. I do the show and I have my bookshelves around me so I can always. War Before Civilization. War Before Civilization is a really interesting book. It's hard, you might be able to get it. It's kind of hard to get these days. I mean, it's gone out of print, but it talks about these These native tribes that we pretend were living in harmony, you know the, the Pocahontas Disney cartoon thing of like, you know, the, the squirrels and the raccoons and the birds were talking to the natives. They were fighting constant mini wars of extermination against other tribes. Yes, that's actually what was happening. And it was not. There was no morality that prevented people in a raiding party from going into a neighboring village and killing every man, woman and child if they was often the goal. Yes, correct. Wars of extermination. But they were small, they didn't have standing armies and they didn't have writing. So you know how they figured this out? They actually go back archaeologically and look at the skeletons and they look at the skeletons of people that were hit with, you know, Stone Age weapons. And what they find is men, women, children, murdered. Large numbers on a. I mean not large numbers but you know, a large percentage of the time on a regular basis. But sure, they were just having the hills were, you know, it was everything.

Clay Travis
Bucolic life in harmony. Preposterous. Preposterous.
- [37:33]
Buck Sexton
When they arrived in, you know, this is a thing in Australia too. When they arrived in Australia, the aborigines were living in actual Neolithic era technology or you know, Stone Age technology, whatever, whatever the proper archeological designation is. I don't know, I think antibiotics and roads were a nice thing for them. I think it was a good deal.
- [37:52]
Clay Travis
By the way, that's like the 1800s, you know, they didn't discover Australia until 1770s I think. So we're talking about this is way. I mean what year was like the, the pantheon built in, in Rome? Like yeah, I was right.
- [38:09]
Buck Sexton
Neolithic period, like, like 3, 4, 5,000 years ago and beyond. So they were living in the Neolithic period when we arrived. I think they could have used our help.
