We have Trump saying that he is going to join law enforcement on the streets of D.C. tonight. This. If you could come up with a better reality TV show, I would want to hear it.
- [03:26]
Clay Travis
I mean, I would watch the heck out of a show, you know, President Trump, Cops. President Trump. I mean, tell me that's not amazing television.
- [03:38]
Buck Sexton
You know, this is a remarkable situation, Clay, because we have the president. He is going to be out there on the street, so the media has to cover it. And Trump on, on an episode of Cops. I mean, just think about if SNL was actually trying to be funny. This is tailor made for it. You could have Trump some guy like, excuse me, sir, we know you're in a gang. We know. No, no, no. Be nice. Don't be mean. We found the Glock. Some people are saying a Glock 19 in your pants, not supposed to have it here. Convicted felon. No Glock 19s for you. You know, we could see how this would all work. It would be incredible entertainment. And yet Trump is actually going out on this mission with the seriousness of the mission of trying to make D.C. safer, make D.C. great again, I guess. And this is something that I think is another moment where the Democrats are losing. Let me give you an example of why I think they are losing. Here is a journalist for the Miami Herald. Ok, so let me set the scene. Clay, did you see this one on the streets of D.C. you had a bunch of police and they pulled aside a guy and federal agents detained him on the National Mall. And he tries to. He resists arrest and he's screaming, I think in Spanish. He's making like quite a scene. And he's saying, you know, I just want to be with my family. Please, I'm not a criminal. I just want to be with My family. And there's video of this. And immediately the DC Journo industrial complex is. Oh, my gosh, this is the Stasi, you know, the East German secret police on the streets of D.C. this is like. This is authoritarianism. This is terrible, terrible stuff. And then one journalist, Julie Brown, she's, I think since deleted this tweet, but tweets are forever from the Miami Herald. His crying hits me in the gut. And we will probably never be told who he is, why he was stopped, or if he was even here illegally. Do you know how the story ends, Clay?
- [05:46]
Clay Travis
I do know. I did not see this tweet, but I'm just laughing because it's just such a complete joke of a left wing journal tweet. I did not know that. But yes, continue. I do know how this story ends.
- [06:02]
Buck Sexton
Update. ICE has sent a statement on this man's detention saying his name is David Perez Teofani. He was arrested in Fairfax county in 2024 and charged with aggravated sexual battery against a minor under 13. Ah, bad stuff. Bad.
- [06:25]
Clay Travis
Yeah. Who was. Who was the journo who said that? That picture basically, like, wrecked herself. Hit her in the gut.
- [06:31]
Buck Sexton
Julie Brown. So, so alleged. Oh, by the way, there was a, you know, alleged pedophile. And. And that is the proper term. I mean, this is what this guy's accused of. Aaron. Sorry, that. That's. That guy. But now I'm going to a journalist, a journalist who also was commenting on this. He said, Aaron Reichlin melnick, as a D.C. resident, this doesn't make me feel any safer. It makes me want to stay the hell away from the mall because I don't want to have to watch something like this go down. Well, he's an accused aggravated, you know, sexual assault, pedophile. He has a final order of removal already out on him. He has entered the US Illegally three times. So this guy is a. Is a menace to public safety. Is. Has come into the US Three times illegally, has no respect for our laws or immigration laws whatsoever. But the DC Journals are all shedding tears about it. This is why they just keep running into this Buzzsaw Clay over and over again.
- [07:35]
Clay Travis
Yeah. And I think it's important let's share this, this report because we talked about the data and what it's showing, and I mentioned it earlier, but we're in a situation where eight days now, I believe it is. There has not been a murder in Washington, D.C. and that basically has never occurred in a summer that they can find on the record. And we have a cut that I shared from the From D.C. this is the news laying out exactly how much crime has gone down. This is cut six, Jeff Abel on Fox 45 Baltimore last night, I believe cut six. When the National Guard hit the ground.
- [08:19]
Buck Sexton
In Washington last week, that city's crime fight went into overdrive.
- [08:24]
Clay Travis
And now we're seeing the impact and.
- [08:26]
Buck Sexton
The dramatic reductions in crime. With the Guard on the ground, crime.
- [08:32]
Clay Travis
Is on the decline for the first time in a long time.
- [08:35]
Buck Sexton
D.C. has gone seven days without a homicide. And that's not all.
- [08:39]
Clay Travis
Carjackings are down 83%, robberies are down 46%, car thefts down 21% and overall violent crime is down 22%.
- [08:51]
Harmeet Dhillon
When you have these kind of numbers going down, it basically says this is a success and that means people feel safer.
- [09:01]
Clay Travis
I mean, this is Trump's genius, Buck. He has looked and I think this is important because you grew up in New York City and you can speak to this. D.C. crime levels are at 1990 New York City crime levels. If the nation, and I'm not saying New York City is perfect because I know a lot of our listener wor listeners are still saying, hey, there's a lot we can get better in, in, in New York City. But if the nation had the crime rate of New York City, cities like Washington, D.C. memphis, Kansas City, New Orleans, you can run through a whole litany of them, would all experience dramatic declines in violent crime. And as the Wall Street Journal put this morning or last night, I was reading, you know what percentage I think that yesterday Heather McDonald told us 94% of all people shot in D.C. are black. 94%. So if you want to talk about who is actually benefiting from Trump putting crime down by massive amounts, it's overwhelmingly the Black residents of D.C. who are overwhelmingly the victims of violent crime. And Democrats are. They don't really know what to do, Buck, because when you start to see this be effective, letting it crime continue looks like a choice, which is what it is.
- [10:26]
Buck Sexton
And then what do they do? What does that mean in cities across the country where the Democrats have had one party rule for decades and things have just been a mess and the crime rate has been way too high. I think of Baltimore, a place where I've spent considerable time, which should be geographically and architecturally, at least in some areas of the downtown. It should be a beautiful city, a thriving and beautiful city. And it is a crime hellhole in some areas and everyone knows it. And that shouldn't be acceptable in America today in a country that has the resources that we do in a country that has the capabilities, the law enforcement capabilities that we do, it is strictly a function of political will. Some of these politicians in some of these cities have decided that not enforcing the law, and some of the prosecutors are acting like politicians, even if they're not necessarily elected in the same way. They've decided that not enforcing the law is the choice that they will make. Somehow that is better. And I think you got a vision or you got to look into the view of someone like Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles who just says enforcing a law is targeting young black and brown men. And that's what's going on here. And we say, okay, well, so what do we think? If what Karen Bass. If what Mayor Bass says is true, so then is the answer we just don't enforce the law. Is that really where we're supposed to go? Or we absolutely minimize the degree to which we enforce the law and punish serious criminals because of the racial disparity in those committing crimes. Because I think people just reject that now in large numbers across the country, including minorities in places who want to be safe, you know, who want to be safer, who aren't breaking the law.
- [12:11]
Clay Travis
That's. That's to me, where you go. And I wish we had an honest media, because when you have a politician say, well, I'm concerned that if we enforce the law, there's going to be too many black and brown people arrested, which is New York, which is what LA Mayor Karen Bass said, the immediate pushback is. Okay, I understand that. But why should we privilege violent criminals at the expense of the vast majority of black and brown individuals who are not committing crimes? If you had to decide who to inconvenience, call me crazy, I would inconvenience the lawbreakers and I would actually convenience the people that are not breaking the law. And that's the side of this equation that it's as if you can't have that discussion because we want to protect people who are innocent from people that are violent. I also think this then becomes the real conversation. Why did this happen? Why have we just grown willing to pretend that basically 6% of the population, young black men, are committing basically half of all crimes in America? And why have we just decided that the parts of the city and the parts of the state where those kids are most likely to live, and I say kids because they tend to be young men, that law and order just shouldn't exist there. This is all very solvable, and I think New York City is a great example of how to solve it. And again, I'm not saying we're going to be perfect. I wish we had a zero violent crime rate. But you get the Compustat data, you look at where all the murders are happening, you flood police response in those communities, you arrest violent criminals. What do you say? Stop, frisk and question. Stop, question and frisk.
- [14:01]
Harmeet Dhillon
Yeah.
- [14:02]
Clay Travis
All over the country and crime rate would collapse and the vast majority of the lives that were saved would be black and brown in particular black, because they're the kids that are getting killed. If you really think black lives matter, what Trump is doing in Washington D.C. as president, is saying black lives matter more than maybe any president has ever said because he's actually trying to save black lives by limiting violent crime, which overwhelmingly victimizes them. And this, to your point, Buck, puts Democrats in a really tough spot because basically they have to argue, well, we can't actually enforce the law because too many people of the wrong color get arrested when the law is enforced. And I think that's a really tough argument.
- [14:46]
Buck Sexton
Well, this is, this is why we always make the case, and we've talked about this for years now about the gender disparity in violent crime. If, if the, yes, the law is either good or it's not. The fact that it is effectively almost only men who are killing people doesn't mean that there's a gender bias. It just means that's what's going on. And it's not the duty of the law to try to, you know, equalize that between men and women. It. So, so this is, this is what we see and this is the reality as it plays out. But I do think Trump going out on patrol, this could be amazing. Remember when he did the McDonald's window thing?
- [15:23]
Clay Travis
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- [15:24]
Buck Sexton
And all these journals and all the, the lib intelligents you were trying to criticize it. Everyone's like, no, it was kind of funny, actually. It's kind of like, it's kind of a great, you know, photo op and shows he's got a sense of humor and about himself and everything else. And it's just, it's amazing how much they have thrown at Trump that he has been able to turn around and just work to his advantage. And yet again, I think on this D.C. crime thing, they thought, oh my gosh, there's gonna be tanks on the streets of D.C. and the militarization. And it's going though that's what people who live in Los Angeles and New York and safe parts that, you know, ring DC or outside, you know, Chevy, that's What the Chevy Chase residents are saying and the McLean, Virginia residents are saying about this, it's not what people live in the rough areas are saying about it. They're saying, clean up my neighborhood.
- [16:16]
Clay Travis
And again, what I've said from the get go is I hope this continues. But can you imagine if a month from now violent crime's down 50% in D.C. why would this not work? This same plan in other areas with similarly rates of violent crime? Why would this not work in Memphis? Why would this not work in Kansas City? Why would this not work in Louisville, Kentucky? Like, you can run through a lot of different cities, Birmingham, Alabama that have way too high of murder rates. A lot of them not far. Nashville, Tennessee, where I live. I mean, I wish we had a lower violent crime rate. Seems like a no brainer to me. And that is really, I think what scares Democrats is if this works, what do they do?
- [16:58]

Let's talk to you about Preborn for a moment. This is a nonprofit saving the lives of tens of thousands of babies every year. Last year alone, they saved more than 65,000 unborn children. And this year, they've saved 40,000 unborn babies. Preborn's mission is to save lives by presenting pregnant mothers who are contemplating an abortion with a better alternative life for their unborn child. And the team of people working at these preborn clinics are providing those pregnant moms with support, assistance and a free ultrasound so that they can meet the baby growing in their womb. That ultrasound experience allows each mother to meet and bond with her unborn child, hear the heartbeat, see those tiny movements inside of her. And so often, that's the turning point. Preborn accomplishes this with just $28 per ultrasound. Please, Pro Life people out there, they need you. They get no government funding. Preborn is doing what it can to save lives, but they need your help to donate securely. Dial pound250, say the keyword baby. You can set up to donate $28 a month and it's all tax deductible. And it's saving lives that's donating securely by dialing pound250 and saying the keyword baby. Or go to preborn.combuck preborn.com Buck sponsored by Preborn News and Politics.

Clay Travis
Welcome back in Clay Travis, BUCK SEXTON show Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the Thursday edition of the program right here. So many different breaking news parts out there. I did think, Buck, we should play Wolf Blitzer. You mentioned the arrest of the individual there by the Washington Mall who had got the charge of sexual assault against a minor. This is how CNN against a minor.
- [23:18]
Buck Sexton
Under under 12 or under 13. I mean, yeah, aggravate. That's why it's aggravated extreme.
- [23:24]
Clay Travis
This is how CNN covered it. Just in case you're still watching CNN cut 30. Wolf Blitzer.
- [23:30]
Buck Sexton
And new video shows federal officers detaining a man on the National Mall. We want to warn our viewers some might find this video disturbing. Watch this. He was saying in Spanish he was here to work and not to be arrested. A Homeland Security Department spokesperson said the man is undocumented from Mexico and was arrested before. But NBC4 here in Washington is reporting that a person with the same name who faced similar charges had them dropped without prosecution.
- [24:18]
Clay Travis
I just think that you really you, all of you out there listening to us right now, I think we do a pretty good job of telling you stories that matter and letting you contextualize how they're being reported out there. I think there are huge news deserts, what I would call it, that hear almost none of the story like we shared, hey, this was a guy who was arrested that had an outstanding warrant for a sexual assault allegation on someone under 13 years old. If you're a CNN viewer, do you hear that? If you're a New York Times reader, do you read it? Washington Post. The way that these stories are being covered are very dishonest. And I wonder how many people out there are even aware that the D.C. violent crime rate is collapsing. Because a lot of times when stories like these happen, they just pretend that the data doesn't reflect what is actually true, which is more cops out on the street makes us all saver. We'll take some of your calls. We'll play some of your talk backs. In the meantime, NFL season prize picks is hooking you up. You get 50 bucks right now with preseason football coming back.

Harmeet Dhillon
All right.
- [26:18]
Buck Sexton
Welcome back in, everybody. We are joined now by Harmeet Dillon. She is assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division in the Trump Justice Department. Harmy, thank you for making time for us.
- [26:29]
Harmeet Dhillon
Yes, thanks for having me.
- [26:31]
Buck Sexton
Let's jump right into it. I know you've got a lot as part of your portfolio, if you will, at the civil rights division, which unfortunately, just for everyone's benefit out there, before Trump had come along in this administration, had been even through I think Republican administrations a particularly woke part of the doj, which we can get into that in a second. Let's first though, tell us how you are working to protect women in sports and Title 9 and how that is playing out.
- [27:03]
Harmeet Dhillon
Well, this is a top priority of the administration and you've seen the presidency, executive orders on a number of issues and particularly touching on these DEI issues. And I think one of the most important civil rights issues of our time is the way that women's rights are being systematically abridged by men pretending to be women and taking their trophies, destroying their dreams and eradicating their opportunities to compete for scholarships and win. So that's a big issue for us. It also actually crosses over a little bit on the other side. We've seen girls who think they're boys violating the privacy rights of boys like you've seen in Loudoun County. That is equally illegal. Less of an issue numerically but you know, profoundly impacts the young men who it, who it affects. So this Department of Justice has gone to court. We sent letters to California which is doing this. We're in litigation with Maine and California now for both states refusal to honor our legal guidance that girls should not have to compete with boys. And so we're seeing that play out and around the country.
- [28:14]
Clay Travis
I appreciate you coming on and I appreciate all the work that you're doing. Obviously we had outkick company that I used to own that net Fox now owns have covered this aggressively. And we have a story up today. I don't know if you've seen it yet. A 6 foot 4, 9th grade male has decided that he wants to play women's volleyball and has made the team. As you would expect, a six foot four man, young man might. And it's thrown the entire community, I'm told, into an uproar because the girls and their families are rightfully pointing out that this is absolutely ridiculous. We've seen in volleyball in particular, if I remember correctly, Peyton, whose last name is escaped me right now, actually got struck by a man playing, jumping up, hitting the ball way harder than a woman typically could. What should happen and what is going to happen with all of these stories which seem to be happening in pretty much every blue state out there.
- [29:11]
Harmeet Dhillon
Well, look, the courts are going to have to step up and ultimately the United States Supreme Court's going to have to rule on this issue and make it clear. But increasingly I think courts are agreeing with us. And you know, Supreme Court in its ruling in the gender surgery case in Tennessee actually did make a very clear pronouncement there that gender identity is not the same thing as sex. And that's the first time we've seen that kind of a clear guidance from the Supreme Court. The case was Scrametti, which is the name of the attorney general in Tennessee. And, and so that's, you know, I think the court, I think made itself very clear in that case. We're just going to have to have court cases to make these states pay attention. What's so interesting for me, as you know, I came from the political world and now I've of course taken off that political hat. I'm just a lawyer. But politically it seems insane that this is the hill that people are planning to die on because the constituency affected by these ludicrous anti science and anti civil rights positions is a tiny one. There is just a massive amount of virtue signaling and it's I think actually not very popular in the country numerically. So I don't understand why people are dying on this hill. But regardless, we believe it isn't a matter of how many girls are affected. If any one girl's civil rights are violated, it's a problem for all Americans.
- [30:36]
Buck Sexton
We're speaking everybody to Harmony Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Division at DOJ and Harmeet. One area where I keep seeing this, here's the storyline. Essentially the Supreme Court has weighed in on racial preferences in college admissions. And yet time and again I am seeing people who are claiming either from direct knowledge or indirect knowledge of the admissions process, that schools are just ignoring this and continuing to do what they've always done because they think that that ruling from the Supreme Court doesn't apply to them. What can you tell us about this? Is this something that the administration is going to be tackling more? And you know, is this something that we can expect action on?
- [31:21]
Harmeet Dhillon
Well, we are, I mean, I just told you we are tackling it. I don't know how we could tackle it harder. We are tackling it everywhere we can. You know, Loudoun county case is something that's. That fact pattern is underway. The young men are privately represented. But you know, stay tuned in that court and there are four other counties in Virginia right here in our backyard that are similarly giving the middle finger to the federal government and federal law and running roughshod over kids rights.
- [31:47]
Buck Sexton
So no, no, I'm talking about college admissions, Harmeet. I'm talking about the college admissions issue, not the gender issue.
- [31:53]
Harmeet Dhillon
We are, we are working on the college admissions issue as well. I mean, I think that's also Evident we are. I mean, I personally sent out 75 letters designed by me to the top institutions of higher learning in the United States. We are focusing on medical schools, law schools, and undergraduate universities. I have conversations almost every day with university council, university presidents pleading their case and trying to tell me why they're in compliance with students for fair admissions and other relevant precedents. So you're seeing that. I mean, even before we fire a shot, these people are coming to the table saying, look, we hired our own compliance counsel and we've done an audit, and we're not doing that anymore, and please don't come after us. So the president's policies and aggressive position on this have absolutely filtered down and become crystal clear. I mean, in some cases, people lost their funding. In other cases, they're afraid of losing their funding, and rightfully so. Every contract involving federal funding comes along with a promise and a covenant that the recipient is following federal law. Most of these universities were not following federal law. We're now presuming that they aren't, and they need to prove to us that they are as they come into compliance. So I think you're going to see a huge impact on college campuses now. There are going to be stragglers. You've seen the incidents out of, like, North Carolina, for example, where in some smaller state schools, they're trying to rebrand. I was having a longer discussion with somebody earlier today. We have to understand that people have gone to school and made their entire careers on race hustling and getting these jobs as diversity officers and being part of a whole diversity industrial complex. And now that's been blown up wholesale. Naturally, they're fighting for their careers. They don't want to learn how to, you know, code or, you know, do something else that's socially valuable. And we're going to see some of these hiccups. But overall, economically, it does not pencil out for any school that receives federal funding, which is almost every school in America, to be at odds with the federal government. And so we're really actually quite pleased with the amount of compliance we're seeing in a very short time.

A couple of things here. Harmeet Dillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights division on Title IX, protecting women in sports. Peyton McNabb was the young girl's name who was hit in the volleyball match. Couple of things that I want to hit you with here and get your. Your thoughts first on. On the question about diversity and race and basically the lack of a meritocracy in university admissions. And I've got a Rising senior. He's starting to do a lot of his essays, as many kids out there are doing. I am seeing a lot of these top schools, Harmeet, and I'm sure you've seen this too. They're asking essay questions that say, explain to us how your identity has helped to create the world in which you are living. I'm just kind of spitballing a question, but basically to allow the essay to stand in as instead of checking a box and examining it, they're finding out the race of kids by that, which I think is, is something backdoor. And then the second part here, and I think this builds on the question you were talking about. Scarmetti. So I got a couple of angles here for you to finish up. How do you think both politically and legally people are going to respond if you are correct and I sign on to this opinion? Skremetti the trans medical treatment case clearly is going to mean that boys and girls can be separated in sports. I think the Supreme Court is going to rule that. Is it then going to be over? Or do you think Democrats are going to double, triple, quadruple down on crazy and continue to fight this? Or do you think they take a step back and say supreme Court ruled, let's move on because they know it's bad politically?
- [35:43]
Harmeet Dhillon
Look, I think it's a fad, quite frankly. I think it's a mass contagion and it's. And you know, we have to be very strict about eradicating that and keeping children safe. You must remember there has been a time in our history not that long ago and you know, even today, some, some people will die on the Hill, that abortions in the ninth month should be perfectly legal and normal there. You know, like that's actually when you poll it, pretty terrible in the polling. Most civilized human beings don't believe that. But you know, we were led to believe that that's a human right and everyone should be able to kill their child. You know, so times and circumstances do change. People move on to other forms of perversion. I actually think all of these things are a mass mind game that's designed to destroy our society. Like, you know, these are all forms of Marxism, blm and using a couple of bad cops to destroy policing in our country is a form of Marxism. Trying to destroy the very concept of sex is a form of Marxism and we must be vigilant about this. Marxism coming into our lives is completely at odds with our philosophy of individual rights and human rights and civil rights and our Constitution and our norms in our society. And so, you know, we have to be ever vigilant on these issues. So I do think that things are going to change, but there will be some fresh hell, there will be some new crazy thing that we all have to join arms and fight. And hopefully our society is strong enough to fight it. The lawyers are strong enough to fight it. They haven't all been disbarred. People have the courage, there's a good president. These all things have to fall into place. And without these formulae falling into place, you have the Biden four years, you have the Obama eight years, you have look at our health care system. The Marxists have destroyed it. You have to be rich to get health care in this country again. It's insane. So, you know, I just, I'm glad that I'm here in this time and being able to do my little part, whatever this job is, by the most zealous civil rights lawyer in the country. In the next Republican administration, there'll be different challenges.

Clay Travis
What do you think about the backdoor attempt to avoid racial preference and use essays as a proxy to basically allow them to get the same sort of results?
- [37:50]
Harmeet Dhillon
I'll go one step further. They're making people do video interviews and that. I mean, a white friend of mine applying for a master's program was told he had to do a one minute video segment to apply for that program. One minute. What are you going to find out in one minute? What race he is and what gender he is? That's it. Yeah, it's nonsense. But what we're looking at is the data. Like they can have whatever fake tricks they want at the front end if the data shows that their numbers haven't materially changed in light of Students for Fair Admissions, there's your evidence.

Clay Travis
Bust out the gold crepe. If you missed it, Trump says he's going to go on the run around the ride around, I guess more accurately with some of the D.C. police. Don in California also weighing in on that. This is ii.
- [44:55]
Buck Sexton
Hey, Clay and Buck, it's Don from California. Yeah, I just saw it on FOX News. I don't think Trump should have like announced that he's going to be doing this, this walk around. There's too many crazies. I don't even know why he's doing that because it's a security risk. But, you know, it's Trump. You know he'll do it. Yeah.
- [45:17]
Clay Travis
I mean, we talked about this off air. I presume that Trump is going to be in quite the protective bubble. I don't think they're going to have him kicking, kicking doors in and yelling out warrants.
- [45:28]
Buck Sexton
Although can you just, just, just imagine, just for, for the sake of fun, for the sake of fun. Ok. Could you imagine if Trump actually like, you know, got in the stack somewhere and he was like, you better open this door. You don't want me swinging, swinging the battering ram. It's going to be very loud, very.
- [45:44]
Clay Travis
Very bad for you.
- [45:45]
Buck Sexton
If I swing the battering ram, it'd be fantastic.
- [45:48]
Clay Travis
Trump putting somebody in cuffs would also be really, really funny. And also what outfit is he going to wear? Is he going to wear the tie and like a bulletproof vest over it? Like, I don't know, like he did for the McDonald's. Bob and Katie, Texas, Gigi. And then we'll get to some of your calls.
- [46:05]
Buck Sexton
Hey, Clay and Buck, this is Bob from Katy, Texas. I think this is going to be the same mistake as Coca Cola made and went back to the Coca Cola Classic. So I think what we're going to see is that Cracker Barrel is going to go back to Cracker Barrel Classic.
- [46:22]
Clay Travis
A lot of you weighing in on Cracker Barrel, including Richard down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, not far from where Buck is. Richard, what you got for us?
- [46:30]
Caller Richard
Good afternoon. Technically, I was born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, and two thumbs up, Buck, for going to Highlands, North Carolina. I've been going there for over 40 years. My parents used to own a home in Highlands Falls Country Club. And the whole reason I went to Cracker Barrel on the way up and on the way back was for the old southern style country food Clay. I mean, and I sat next to many, many black Americans in that restaurant. We would have wonderful conversations. And most of them were conservative. And I say I hope they lose all their freaking business because they've lost their minds. Okay, Restore, which is fantastic, where you could buy sodas and candies that you can't find anymore in any of the stores. It was great. And the rocking chairs to sit out front when you're waiting in line to go get your table. I mean, they've lost their minds, man. They're crazy.
- [47:27]
Clay Travis
Thank you for the call, podcast listener Kristen Ee.

- [47:43]
Clay Travis
Oh, my goodness. What do you think The Cracker Barrel CEOs Day has been like, Buck, since she went on Good Morning America. You think it's been a little bit of a rough day for her?
- [47:51]
Buck Sexton
Well, I mean, there's a hole because the view is not on yet, is it? So what is she watching? There's no view. MSNBC is in disarray. I mean, there's not a no Kings march going on in her neighborhood and she might even be running low on cat food. I don't know what's going on with her. Could be a tough one.
