0:33Go! ABC Wednesdays. The Emmy -winning comedy Scrubs is all new.
0:40This is a whole new chapter for me.
0:41No more sad sack. That's what I'm talking about.
0:44I want both of our sacks to be fun.
0:46You two idiots are perfect for each other.
0:48From executive producers of Ted Lasso and Shrinking.
0:50We were all a part of this victory.
0:52Now get those nachos out of the preemie warmer.
0:56Nachos! Feels like there's more applause for the nachos than my speech.
1:00The new season of Scrubs.
1:01Wednesdays 8, 7 central on ABC and stream on Hulu.
1:05Third hour of Clay Ann Buck kicks off right now.
1:08And Debra Leah is with us now.
1:10She is a political commentator.
1:13You see her on Fox.
1:14You see her all over the place these days.
1:16She was actually just over in Israel.
1:18You can tell us a bit about that experience.
1:20But we're going to look, Debra, ahead a bit with you as well into this
1:25weekend, the looming deadline, Iran.
1:27Tell us what you know, what you see coming, and how concerned should people be
1:32about all this? I would just like to state on the record, I am not
1:36Mossad, before anybody makes any accusations for the information I'm about to put forward.
1:40But it's great to join you guys.
1:42And yeah, this has been something that in Israel, every single weekend, they've been preparing.
1:47I was there for about two and a half weeks in the end of January
1:50till February. And at that point, we really thought it was going to happen.
1:53It cooled off. And now the time has come.
1:56They have evacuated non -emergency personnel from the embassy in Jerusalem.
2:00And the last time that President Trump did this earlier in June, it was exactly
2:04seven days later that the U .S.
2:05joined the fight to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.
2:08And so I think that this is going to be no different.
2:10We've seen this is a very interesting international politics moment for the world.
2:15And I think it's going to change international politics going forward if President Trump doesn't
2:20act. And he has been threatened.
2:23The members of parliament have threatened to send him in a casket and celebrate him
2:26being in a casket. And so more than just nuclear weapons or nuclear facilities, this
2:32is really in terms of American sovereignty.
2:34Will we allow these Islamic countries to threaten the president and not do anything in
2:38return? I personally don't think that we can allow that to continue.
2:41And I think that President Trump is on the same mindset here.
2:44And so the deadline ends on Monday.
2:46And I do think that we will indefinitely or definitely see a strike before then.
2:52OK, Deborah, thanks for coming on.
2:54Where does this lead? Buck and I were talking about in the last hour.
2:58One of the big challenges is how extensive are the attacks?
3:01How much do they actually target Iran's rulers?
3:05To what extent is the debate now about the potential power vacuum?
3:09Who would take over? What could happen?
3:12Where does this go? What is the goal beyond potentially ending the nuclear ambition of
3:18Iran? Does it extend into regime change?
3:22Yeah, absolutely. This has been something that all of us have been wondering.
3:26And I think this is definitely the reason that the strikes have been delayed.
3:29We heard weeks ago Trump said help was on the way.
3:33And then obviously we went into negotiations.
3:34And the problem that exists for President Trump and international politics at large is that
3:39you cannot bomb your way through regime change.
3:41We've seen this time and time again.
3:43America is kind of notorious for failed regime change.
3:46And so when it comes to Iran, after 47 years of oppression, it's very unlikely
3:50that there's the highest level of individuals needed to actually overthrow the government.
3:54There's over 800 ,000 Iranians who are part of the Islamic regime who just live
3:59among civilians. So looking forward, what we think is the most likely outcome or what
4:04I think is most likely outcome is pressure.
4:07I don't think that Trump is going to take out the Ayatollah.
4:09And if he did, there are four people for every single leader of the Islamic
4:13regime. There are four people waiting to take their place that Kemeni has already lined
4:18up. So what I think is a likely outcome here is not a good one
4:22for America, for Israel, for anyone.
4:23I don't think that this is going to be a quick one strike and we're
4:26done situation. I think that this would go on longer than the war in the
4:30summertime. And I don't think regime change is possible at this point in time.
4:34So as an American, as a strong crowd Jew, I hope Trump's President Trump strikes
4:39to send a message. But with these strikes, I don't see any evidence that the
4:43Iranian people themselves are capable of overthrowing the regime.
4:48What about the strikes? What message do you think they would likely send other than
4:55I'm willing to blow up your stuff if you don't do what I want?
4:59It seems to me the problem on the nuclear program is there's no way there's
5:04no agreement that we give them where we don't rely on some degree of trust,
5:09which we can't have in them.
5:10And therefore they won't agree because if they prove that they do what we want,
5:16then we actually get what we want.
5:18Does that make sense? Do you see what I'm saying?
5:19Like there's we keep coming back to this place of Iran needs to agree to
5:23a deal where we can be.
5:24Sure, they're not doing the nuclear thing.
5:27And we go through this and we go through this and then it's, yeah, they're
5:30not going to agree to that.
5:31I feel like they're still not going to agree to it, even if we hit
5:35them. Oh, you're absolutely right.
5:38And Kemeny has said himself that that will never happen.
5:40And Iran giving up their nuclear facilities is worse than them losing a war internally.
5:45And so that's been, as an American, the Catch -22 that I've been watching and
5:49kind of a little bit upset about in a way.
5:52That I grew up in the mindset of we don't negotiate with terrorists.
5:56And so entering negotiations to begin with, I do not know what the Trump administration
5:59was thinking the outcome would be because they're not going to change their mind.
6:03But when it comes to strikes, Trump has really just been forced into a corner
6:06now where if he doesn't strike, it will send a message to the rest of
6:10the world, the non -Western world, that they can do whatever they want.
6:13They can threaten America. They can kill their citizens.
6:16And the Western world will not do anything about it.
6:18But again, President Trump's striking is really not going to beget regime change.
6:22It's not going to change the outcome with the nuclear facilities.
6:26They've moved them underground. And so I hate to say it.
6:28I wish there was a better answer, but there is no good answer to this
6:31conflict. And I think that we need to put a little bit more, not pressure,
6:35but a little bit more spotlight on the Iranian people themselves.
6:39There is no other, as much as I have deep, deep sympathy and I want
6:42them to be free, I can't think of any other conflict in the history of
6:45the world where the people who have the responsibility have not.
6:48The Iranian people, we've kind of taken them out of the equation here.
6:51How would they play an effect into this?
6:53We have Israel. We have America waiting on standby.
6:55But I would like to see more efforts or at least more communication from the
6:59Iranian people about what boots on the ground support America or Israel will have if
7:04deciding to strike them. We're talking to Deborah, Leah, about the situation in Iran.
7:09Okay, so if there's not going to be a change in leadership in Iran, we're
7:16not going to effectively decapitate the current theocracy.
7:19Then isn't this just more of kicking the can down the road?
7:25To Buck's point, we know we can't trust Iran, and at some point there probably
7:30will be another Democrat administration in office like Obama that they can take advantage of,
7:37make a lot of claims to, lie, and just kind of recreate this situation time
7:42after time. So that's point one.
7:45Point two on this, is there any, to your knowledge or ability to kind of
7:51divine, what is Saudi Arabia, what is Qatar, what do the other Muslim countries want
7:56to happen to Iran? Because it seems to me that they actually like them having
8:00an incompetent government because in some way it elevates their own governments without having to
8:06worry about a competent government to compete with in the region.
8:11Great point, and that's essentially what I was going to say.
8:13This is the most likely outcome, and the best outcome would be kicking the can
8:17down the road. If the Trump administration launches some level of strikes that we've seen,
8:22we have the highest amount of defense weaponry in the region, ships, everything is based
8:27in Israel waters around the region.
8:29The most likely outcome is kicking the can down the road, striking a few facilities,
8:34and scaring the regime into agreeing, okay, for the next five years we won't build
8:38nuclear sites or we won't enrich uranium, which we know we can't trust them.
8:42So that would be a win on the face of it for the Trump administration.
8:46Look at us. We did what we were going to say.
8:48What would we do? Is it an overall win for international politics?
8:52Most likely not. And in terms of geopolitics in the region, we actually saw –
8:56I was trying to verify it because there's a lot of misinformation around this –
9:00but the airbase in Doha, one of America's largest airbases in the Middle East, doesn't
9:05have any active fighter pilots or fighter jets waiting there right now.
9:08They've been moved to an airbase inside of Israel.
9:10And so that is very interesting to see that we've had these far -right, alt
9:15-right commentators saying Qatar is our best friend.
9:18But when push comes to shove in the region, it does not seem that they
9:20will help us fight a nuclear Iran.
9:22And a lot of these – Saudi Arabia, Qatar – they like playing the middleman.
9:26They like being able to fund Iran, fund world terror.
9:29But then also if America calls, hey, America, we would love to sell you some
9:33weapons or we would love to have your investments in our country.
9:36And so they're waiting. They don't want to choose a side because they want to
9:39choose whoever wins. And that's the difference between us and the Islamic world is that
9:44we believe in freedom and goodness regardless of the outcome.
9:47We don't wait to see who the victor is to choose them.
9:50We choose good and God values as victory every single time.
9:54Speaking of Debra Leah here, Debra, so then is it fair to say that in
9:59your estimation – I'm just trying to see based on what you're saying, how you're
10:03viewing this issue, that the best option for the Trump administration is limited strikes and
10:08then essentially status quo? Or is there something that needs to be done that hasn't
10:13yet been done? I wish that there was a better answer here.
10:19And I love President Trump and I love his administration.
10:21But given the circumstances and given how long he's waited now to retaliate, it's been
10:26weeks, almost over a month and a half since the original regime was killing protesters.
10:30And so given the timing, the really only probable and good outcome the Trump administration
10:37can guarantee right now is some sort of strong limited strikes within a couple hours,
10:42have our pilots out of the airspace by the time that it reaches the public
10:45and scare the Iranian regime into at least negotiating more.
10:50But there really is no good outcome.
10:52where we were able to finish this and have a true win that the Trump
10:55administration can bring home for the region and America.
10:58And Americans, I think I speak for a lot of us now, that we are
11:00not interested in another forever war.
11:02And President Trump knows this with the midterms coming up, that beginning a war that
11:06will not be over, like the 12 -day war with Iran in June, will do
11:10very, very badly in this country in terms of American public perception.
11:14And his approval rating is already a little bit lower than normal right now.
11:17So we know Trump loves to be loved and doing anything in the region that
11:22won't bring home something he can brag about.
11:25I don't think he's interested in that.
11:26So to sum it up nicely, I have a really good feeling that strikes are
11:31going to happen Sunday night.
11:32I don't think that they're going to kill the regime.
11:34They're not going to take out Kemeni.
11:36And something that Buck and I actually spoke about earlier this week is that a
11:41big challenge for America has been the limited communications with the Iranian regime.
11:44They have one point of contact.
11:46And if that point of contact falls off, they're pretty much in the dark.
11:49And that's a really difficult situation given the lack of other allies around Iran.
11:54So they're playing it lightly.
11:56And there is no real win that Trump can bring home outside of limited talks
12:01and then some sort of short -term agreement.
12:03Let's pick this up come December next year and see where we're at.
12:07Last question, Deborah. We appreciate the time.
12:10Last time in June, as you referenced the 12 -day war, we heard a lot
12:14about, oh, there's going to be significant American casualties or Iran is going to fire
12:18back and we're going to see World War III.
12:21Iran didn't do basically anything and did not appear to have much ability to do
12:26anything. Do we have any sense for whether they have better or worse capabilities?
12:32I would actually presume worse.
12:34In other words, is there anything Americans or even Israel should really fear from Iran
12:40at this point? We should not be afraid of Iran, but we should be cautious
12:45about China and Russia who have been selling weapons and certain defense missiles to Iran
12:49over the last couple of weeks and months.
12:51It's unclear because they don't want us to know if they've reached Iran, how many
12:56anti -missile defense systems that they have gained now from China and Russia.
13:00But that is something to absolutely keep an eye on in the region.
13:03And that's something that's not new to us.
13:05You know, all of our enemies join together when it comes to attacking America.
13:08But Iran alone does not have the power.
13:11They don't have the capabilities to hurt America.
13:12The best that they could do is shoot some rockets at Israel.
13:15But America has the Iron Dome protecting Israel.
13:18Israel has the IDF protecting their own borders.
13:20And so Americans, the only thing we should fear is the Iranian regime sending over
13:25sleeper cells into our country.
13:26But thankfully, we have a closed border now.
13:28And so we really should not fear Iran.
13:30They can't touch us. Thank you for the time, Debra Leah.
13:34For people out there who are interested in following you along during this Iranian latest
13:40imbroglio, you said Sunday night you think the attack might come.
13:44Where can they find you?
13:46Find me on Twitter, on Instagram, TikTok, every now and then, the Debra Leah and
13:51everything. And it was great to join you guys.
13:53Thanks for having me. Thank you so much.
13:56Thank you. We come back.
13:58We'll take some loaded lines.
13:59Still, a lot of people wanting to weigh in on Open Line Friday.
14:02A lot of talkbacks. We will dive into all of that.
14:05But we want you to know, we have now entered the 25th anniversary year of
14:099 -11. It's kind of crazy to think that it has been 25 years since
14:149 -11. But remember, yesterday marked the 33rd year since the first World Center terror
14:20attack. Six people died, including a pregnant woman, Monica Rodriguez -Smith.
14:25Scores more injured when a van exploded in the parking garage.
14:28It was such a massive blast, carved out nearly a hundred -foot crater several stories
14:33deep. People forget about it because of the one that followed eight years later.
14:38But it's sobering to consider why this location has been such a target for so
14:43long. Only 14 states teach the history of 9 -11.
14:48And our sponsor, Tunnel to Towers, is dedicated to making sure our kids never forget
14:53through the Tunnel to Towers Institute and their 9 -11 curriculum.
14:57These are educational resources based on first -person accounts for grades K -12.
15:03The Tunnel to Towers mobile exhibit is a teaching resource, high -tech, 83 -foot tractor
15:09-trailer, which transforms into a museum on wheels around the nation from the Black Hills
15:14of South Dakota to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds.
15:17It is a big difference maker.
15:19And the exhibits traveled to nearly 50 states and Canada and educated over a million
15:24people to date. In order to never forget, we need to educate.
15:28You can help in those efforts by joining Buck and me in donating $11 a
15:33month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T .org.
15:37That's T, the number two, T .org.

16:53Wednesdays, 8 -7 central on ABC and stream on Hulu.
16:58Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
17:00We appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
17:02Loaded lines, lots of talkbacks.
17:04Teresa in New Braunfels, Texas.
17:06You wanted to tell us today is the last day of early voting primary in
17:12Texas. It's Tuesday, fire away.
17:15That's it. And I am concerned about all these Democrats or these Republicans calling in
17:20and it feels like they're giving up their vote to vote for Crockett.
17:24There are some really important choices to be made on the Republican side and they're
17:29giving that up. We've got AG, Attorney General Paxton's leaving.
17:33He was effective. Some people are ready to get John Cornyn out and make a
17:38different choice there. There's some really important elections on the Republican side and those people
17:42are giving that up. We have to have faith that if we vote for who
17:47we believe is the strongest person, someone that we can say that we were proud
17:51to vote for, that they will beat the Democrats in the general and not give
17:56that vote up. I say quit playing games.
17:58Go in and vote like you're supposed to vote.
18:00Vote for someone you believe in and they'll be strong enough to beat the Democrats.
18:04It's too important on the Republican side to give all that up.
18:07I really take it as a testament to the show that we have so many
18:10politically astute and eloquent listeners who call in on a regular basis.
18:14It's pretty amazing when you think about it.
18:16It really is. Matt in Erie, Pennsylvania.
18:20Go vote. Last day of early voting.
18:21And if you're not early voting, go vote on Tuesday.
18:27Already Democrats have voted in bigger numbers than they did in the past primary, but
18:31Republicans have actually turned out bigger than they did in 2022 as well.
18:36So already those numbers have been exceeded.
18:38Matt in Erie, PA. Hey, how are you guys doing?
18:42All right. I'm just going to get right to it.
18:44I'm calling about the Epstein files.
18:46Uh -oh. And yeah. Well, you know, here's the thing.
18:52Everybody's sick of it. And it's not what you think.
18:56So the deal is, Trump during his first term, he was the one that called
19:02out Epstein. And his DOJ was the one that threw him in prison.
19:07Let us not forget that, what was it?
19:09It was almost, what was it, five, six, seven years before?
19:13Epstein was in prison before he went to jail.
19:16Like seven years before Trump's DOJ threw him in prison.
19:21And that was Trump who called him out.
19:24There isn't anybody on this planet Earth that Epstein hated more than a thousand blazing
19:31suns than Trump. He had to do what he had to do.
19:35He hated Trump. Think about it is, is the commies.
19:41I can't, I'm just tired of it.
19:43Like, they're so stupid. They will poke and poke and poke and poke and poke
19:49and poke and poke and find a weak point.
19:51That weak point happens to be the very thing that is hard for Normie Norma
19:58and Normie Norman to defend.
20:00And that is the pedophile thing.
20:02And that is because the average American lives and breathes off of the headlines and
20:08doesn't delve in the storage.
20:09Thank you for the call.
20:10We've got to pay some bills here for a second.
20:11Thank you, my friend. Look, Birch Gold Group, Birch Gold Group.
20:15Gold increased 75 % last year over a one -year period.
20:19Silver even more. Gold makes sense.
20:21Silver makes sense. Precious metals, they maintain and grow in value, especially heading into some
20:27choppy economic markets with all the inflation going on, all the rest of it.
20:32Plus, you can get an IRA or 401k in gold with Birch Gold Group's help.
20:37Birch Gold Group will walk you through that process in clear, straightforward terms.
20:40No pressure, no complexity, just education, options.
20:43Better Business Bureau loves these.
20:45The ratings are great for these guys.
20:47I use them. Go check them out.
20:49Text BUCK to 989898. They'll send you a free info kit.
20:53Text B -U -C -K to 989898.
20:58Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
21:00We've got a lot of calls, a lot of talkbacks that we'll get to here
21:02in a second. I just want to say they've already, in New York City, I
21:06told you this would happen, and I think it's important to remember this.
21:08Remember the snowball assault of the cops?
21:11We all saw the video.
21:12We know the difference. This wasn't a gentle snowball of powder that dissipated on a
21:19cop's shoulder, and everyone kind of laughed for a second or something.
21:22This was cops pelted with ice balls by a mob, and it wasn't fun for
21:27the cops, and it's disrespectful, and it's assault, and it's against the law.
21:31By the way, technically, even the gentle snowball on the shoulder, one, would be assault.
21:36You're actually not allowed to do that.
21:38But what they did, clearly, what was done by people in this crowd, crossed the
21:42line, as Clay pointed out.
21:43I wonder if any of these guys who are throwing snowballs at cops have a
21:46criminal record. Oh, what a shock.
21:49Guess what? Yes. But one of the main alleged offenders here had assault on a
21:56police officer already downgraded by the district attorney's office by Alvin Bragg, the George Soros
22:03-sponsored anti -cop, woke, racial Marxist DA.
22:11He and his office, they don't like to prosecute people that do bad things to
22:16cops, so they've downgraded it now to, it's some kind of a misdemeanor.
22:20We're talking like fine territory at this point.
22:24So exactly what we said was going to happen about it.
22:27I knew they weren't going to make an example of them, but I figured maybe
22:29they'd, no, actually I knew this was going to happen.
22:32This is what I said.
22:33Just wait until the prosecutor gets it.
22:35Alvin Bragg is terrible. It's a disgrace that the people of New York City cast
22:39a ballot for this jerk who makes everyone less safe, who has anti -white animus,
22:45by the way, who is clearly a, like I said, a racial Marxist, a guy
22:50who believes in racial balancing within the justice system by just making sure that you
22:55don't have too many people.
22:56It doesn't matter who's doing the crimes.
22:58You want to make sure you do as much as you can to try to
23:01balance things out. It's like a quota system, which of course never works.
23:08And it's a shame, Clay.
23:10It's a shame. Yeah, look, I will stick by it.
23:16If you're the kind of person who sees a police officer and thinks, I need
23:20to hit someone with a snowball with them, I just think the odds that you
23:25are 100 % law -abiding are minimal because that's not something that someone normally does
23:31in that context. And it's disappointing, but it's reflective of what left -wing DAs do.
23:38Remember when they charged Trump with all the felonies, the 34 felonies over bookkeeping, whatever
23:44it was? That was elevating what is traditionally a misdemeanor to a felony.
23:50And what it did was fly in the face of the reality of what most
23:54left -wing DAs do, which is lower felonies to misdemeanors.
23:59In other words, it's very rare that they charge higher.
24:03It's very common that they charge a lower.
24:06And unfortunately, this guy, I would predict, will be arrested at some point in the
24:12next few years for yet another crime because he is not actually likely to continue
24:19to follow the law, as he was not already.
24:21And here's cut. I think we have a couple of these.
24:23Cut 14 and 15. You can play these.
24:26This is the Police Benevolent Association.
24:31We need answers because it's clear as day right now, as we all know, that
24:36this was no few kids getting together snowball fight.
24:40This was an attack on the uniform that these police officers wear so proudly every
24:46day. They came after these police officers, pelting them with ice, rocks.
24:51The ice was packed with rocks.
24:53That's what they were doing.
24:55They followed them all the way to the van.
24:57So the notion that the mayor is putting off that this was just a few
25:01kids having a so playful snowball fight, not true.
25:07Not true at all. The fact is, this was a blatant attack on the uniform
25:12that they wear so proudly every day.
25:15You know, I really think that Mom Donnie should invite people, invite his fellow New
25:20Yorkers to, whenever they feel like it, have a playful snowball fight with him.
25:26Just go for it. You know, why not?
25:29He seems to have no problem with it.
25:31Hey, guys, you want to throw snowballs at me, the mayor?
25:34You know, he should give people permission to snowball fight him if he feels that
25:38way. Because I could tell you, he would cry like a little girl after the
25:42first snowball hit him. Like a little school girl.
25:46Let's go to your calls.
25:48A bunch of different people.
25:49We said we are going to continue to let you guys fire away.
25:51Stephen in Birmingham, Alabama. Stephen, what you got?
25:55Hey, guys, thank you for taking my call.
25:58Just got a very quick question for you.
26:00I know y 'all are blue in the face of talking about Epstein.
26:04Oh, God. Please, no. I'm just kidding.
26:07Go ahead. My question to you is, is what has been blowing my mind and
26:13confusing me is, you know, if women were 10, 12, 14 years young, of course
26:21we want to protect them from any kind of, you know, lawsuits or anything like
26:27that. But these women that have been abused are in their late 20s, 30s, and
26:3140s. Why in the world are we going through all the legal process to talk
26:38about Bill Clinton, to talk about Donald Trump, to talk about Bill Gates?
26:42Why is it that you just don't ask the women, who did you have sex
26:47with? It's that simple. This is, thank you for the call, Stephen.
26:53You're nailing the issue here.
26:55If there are people that allege that they were abused, that someone committed crimes against
27:01them, they should speak out.
27:03Let me point this out.
27:04There is now a press conference being held.
27:07The Bill Clinton deposition is over.
27:09That's why we brought it up during the course of the beginning of the program
27:14today. i'm pointing this out were any of the epstein protesters these women who say
27:22they were survivors did they show up for hillary clinton or bill clinton's deposition i
27:29haven't seen it if they did when pam bondy was testifying they were there let
27:35me ask you this isn't it interesting that they're only showing up to protest when
27:41republicans are doing public events this is what this reminds me and she deserves all
27:47the credit for it she was the only one who had the stones to call
27:52it out at the time a long time ago when john carrey was running against
27:57bush there was this group of four women who were always referred to in the
28:01media as the 9 -11 widows and ann coulter who was fearless was like they're
28:09not the 9 -11 widows they're four democrats who are getting rich and famous now
28:13cutting commercials for john carrey and speaking without permission without you know the say so
28:20for thousands of other widows many of whom did not want john carrey to be
28:26in charge of some kind of answer but clay because of the emotions around that
28:30a lot of people were oh oh i can't be seen as criticizing yeah the
28:33widows and there's a similar thing going on here with okay the survivors were okay
28:38were you were you were you of age the whole time were you an adult
28:42in your 20s when you were dealing with epstein then and and so you're a
28:45survivor of of what you're saying you were paid money as an adult well then
28:50there's a word for that by the way if you're an adult who's receiving money
28:54for so now you're gonna say were you coerced into this because then that would
28:58be uh you know then that can get involved in something else that can be
29:01trafficking but why they're the only ones who can give us everyone keeps looking for
29:06this is your point clay everyone keeps looking for the answers in the files the
29:09women have the answers and people who say they can't speak are deluding themselves oh
29:17yes this is why as someone who has done these investigations before if someone commits
29:23a crime against you you are the primary witness go to authorities and tell us
29:29who committed the crime against you so that they can be charged you said it
29:35i think you said it well it's not i would prefer that happen arguably they
29:39have an obligation to do it because if someone is engaging in criminal behavior against
29:43you they're likely to engage in criminal behavior against someone else by the way they
29:47just had the press conference james comer says that one of the democrats asked bill
29:53clinton did he ever hear or see trump suggesting that he was potentially involved cut
30:0128 let's listen this is bill clinton's answer per james comer a ranking member garcia
30:06asked president clinton quote should uh should president trump be called to answer questions from
30:14this committee and president clinton said that's for you to decide and the president went
30:18on to say that uh the president trump has never said anything to me uh
30:25to make me think he was involved and he meant with epstein okay so now
30:30bill clinton is covering for donald trump i mean i guess the conspiracists would say
30:35that or let's let's deal with this one right now steve steven tucson look guys
30:40sometimes at our thanksgiving table here we're gonna have it out a little bit and
30:44some of you want to have it over this and that's fine and we still
30:47love the country together and we still want what's best for america and we agree
30:50on a lot of things but we're gonna have to agree to disagree on some
30:54of this stuff steven tucson for example play uh play cut s here i think
30:58the reason why the women don't come forward on the epstein case look what happened
31:03to epstein in jail you don't think they're scared for their lives if they spill
31:07the names out of these super super rich people they'll be gone they'll be taken
31:12out i understand why they won't come forward because of that scared for their lives
31:16but i understand why no no no no no no no listen listen to me
31:21steve okay listen to me we're having a little intervention here these women are holding
31:24press conferences every five minutes okay they've already been paid millions and millions of dollars
31:29they're already on the record they're scared for their lives they're they're trying to be
31:33in the public eye as much as humanly possible years and years i might add
31:37after this after this stuff happened and also i think the number i mean i'm
31:42paying attention to the books these days virginia guffrey is memoir is one of the
31:47top selling books in america right now yeah these people are getting rich and famous
31:51over telling their story and you're going to tell me that they're afraid of telling
31:56their story i i don't even know what to say who who is going to
32:00go after them are you kidding think of like what well think of all the
32:04people that have eyes on these uh these victims if you think you're just if
32:09you thought it's just to go down the rabbit hole because i sometimes will go
32:13down the rabbit hole and just try to logically analyze it if you thought that
32:17you were likely to be killed if you spoke out would you have weekly press
32:22conferences where you demanded that charges be brought and go on every television network on
32:29the planet so that everybody could see exactly who you were that just doesn't add
32:34up uh you know how i knew that valerie plane was a big phony over
32:38the whole cia leak thing because she's like oh my gosh my cover blown she
32:44was doing vanity fair covers within days vanity fair covers everybody oh my cover's blown
32:51i'm so worried about all my assets please all right we're gonna play walt here
32:56in advance walt is insane on this issue but i'm trying to put all put
33:03all everything out in public this is walt's talkback he's also from tucson listen buck
33:10do you not know that pizza is a code language for pedophilia i thought this
33:14was widely known for a long time this whole thing goes way beyond just having
33:18sex with young ladies there's this satanic ritualism of blood drinking adrenochrome cannibalism even transhumanism
33:30uh you need to do a lot deeper dive this is just demonic cult -like
33:35behavior this is not happening no i i don't know that pizza is code for
33:41i i don't i don't know this i know people might have said this but
33:45i actually know people who do child exploitation investigations i've actually been around people who
33:51dealt with cyber crimes in the nypd for example like i worked with them okay
33:55and i know that and i've never heard this before in my life so i've
34:00never come across this before there's some code word that that is being used by
34:04all these people so every time someone makes a reference to pizza in any of
34:07these millions and millions of emails it's a cover for pedophilia and murdering kids and
34:14drinking their blood guys guys i'm i'm here for you you know step step step
34:21away from the crazy town a little bit on this stuff i'm with you on
34:24so much of this the epstein cover -up the epstein mistakes that were made in
34:30the doj and i think some of it was bad faith i think there was
34:33corruption i think that's true i think but like the the global eating children pedophile
34:39ring that that everyone at the top of the government is covering up for each
34:42other on because they're all implicated but there's no evidence there's no evidence to get
34:47any of them charged and somehow donald trump is not willing to take it to
34:52them he's our hero on everything but on this issue he's compromised too i'm sorry
34:56man you guys no no and by the way be like oh i'm gonna go
35:01go look fine go listen to one of the lunatics that's gonna tell you this
35:03stuff is true because guess what anyone is doing a show and they're saying there
35:06really is a global ringer they're lunatics yeah people aren't drinking the blood of children
35:12the powerful people uh it doesn't exist and i was like oh of course you're
35:21gonna say that because what i'm in the global drinking the blood of children in
35:26my free time when i'm not raising my three kids come on this is crazy
35:29i i really mean this man i respect the people who listen to this show
35:35too much to lie to all of them to placate a portion of them it's
35:42not happening yeah not gonna ever do it so i'm sorry if people some by
35:47the way it's not mostly you're like stop talking about this i want to i'm
35:51so done i hate this but republicans are making it a thing republicans are deposing
35:55a former president of the united states today they are having a they're gonna have
36:01press conferences today because democrats did not go into this dumbly uh they were not
36:06being stupid they said if we give them bill and hillary clinton for a deposition
36:11we're going to say trump and melania have to be deposed and if they won't
36:17do it what are they covering up it's going to be a big part of
36:20their midterm argument i'm just telling you what's coming um and i think that republicans
36:27have kind of walked into a hornet's nest here and i don't think they've understood
36:33what exactly they are stepping into and i think it's because a lot of people
36:37are afraid to just say yes some of this stuff is crazy and it's not
36:40happening a lot of office holders a lot of people in media they're afraid to
36:45just say this is crazy town jump off the crazy town train on some of

39:03Big news, by the way.
39:04We didn't get into it a ton.
39:07Paramount has bought Warner Brothers.
39:09If you're out there and you're saying, or is going to, they have won the
39:12battle to buy Warner Brothers.
39:14You're out there and you're saying, Clay, why should I care?
39:17CNN's about to have new owners.
39:19And if CNN has new owners that are not bonkers, it is going to create,
39:25potentially, a new world order where you have MSNBC off there in Looney Tuneville.
39:32And then you have CNN maybe moving back towards the center or being even a
39:37little bit right of center occasionally.
39:40And the ecosystem for media is going to be substantially changed.
39:45All right. We love all of you.
