CLAY: For people out there who have not heard this, I was talking about the fact that I am banned from CNN. This is four years old, but the staff chased it down. Were you working at CNN at the time?
BUCK: I think so.
CLAY: I believe this was 2017. This is why I am banned by CNN.
BUCK: Oh, no, no. I was gone by then. But go ahead.
CLAY: You were gone already. I think this is 2017. This is why I am banned by CNN.

BALDWIN: I just want to make sure I’m hearing you correctly.
MAN: It’s astonishing!
BALDWIN: B-o-o-z-e or b-o-o-b-s? ‘Cause, as a woman, (sputtering) I’m — I’m — I’m —
CLAY: I said boobs! I believe completely in the First Amendment and in boobs. Those are the only two things I believe a hundred percent in this country. And, by the way, Jemele, has nothing to do with the background —
