1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Welcome in so much winning going on. I gotta tell you,

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: I know, Buckville's the same way. Like every day, I'm

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: just super excited to wake up and see what the

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: news of the day is. And Trump is moving sixteen

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: days into his term so rapidly that I don't think

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: we've seen anything like it in any of our lives.

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: And almost everything he is doing is absolutely incredible, and

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: my goodness, we just got to dive into so much

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: that's going on. So let me give you a little

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: bit of a roadmap of where we're headed. First of all,

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: we'll be talking to Caroline Levitt, White House spokesperson in

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: the third hour. Actually, buck will because I have to

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: run and catch one of the only flights to New Orleans.

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: I know, a tough thing. I'm gonna be down on

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Bourbon Street for the Super Bowl Thursday and Friday. Should

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun on the show talking about

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: all that. Look forward to hanging out with many of

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: you down there. But she is going to join us

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: from the White House, where today is National Women in

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Sports Day and Donald Trump is signing an executive order

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: to ban all men from being able to compete in

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: women's sports. We're going to talk some about that it's

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: amazing that he's got to do it, but also phenomenal

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: that he is doing it and that he would be

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: doing it on this day, and we'll talk Caroline love

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: It about that, who is a former college athlete herself

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: and has been on this program quite a lot.

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 2: Also Riley Gaines up.

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: There, who is an OutKick worker among many other things,

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: fabulous and her swimming against Leah Thomas is what really,

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: I would say, put in motion much of the triumph

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: that we saw in the area of cultural affairs that

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Trump has been leading. So that is going on today.

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: We will also talk with Sean Parnell. We mentioned this

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: on the show. Sean Parnell has been a part of

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: the Clay Buck podcast for the last year plus. Fabulous

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: guy helped to win Trump Pennsylvania. He now is going

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: to be the chief spokesperson for the Pentagon underneath Secretary

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: of Defense Pete Hegseth. So we have got one of

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: our podcast hosts stepping out of the podcast hosting universe.

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: I think he has just posted his final podcast right

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: now for the Clay and Buck network because he's got

43
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: to take over as spokesperson for the Pentagon.

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: Kind of cool, kind of a big deal. So we'll

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: talk with Sean. Proud of our guy. We're proud of

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: our guy. Good friend.

47
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: Mens. Can we say behind the scenes, we almost had

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt if she had not been taking over the

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: jobs that she did. She was set up to be

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: a part of the Clay and Buck.

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: We offer We offered her a We offered her a

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: spot on the Clan Buck podcast network. That is true,

53
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: before she was even on the Trump We offered her

54
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: that right after her congressional run. It was before she

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: was working for the Trump campaign in any capacity. So

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, we got a good eye for talent, everybody.

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: We got a good eye for ten Yeah, no doubt.

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: So that is going on. We're going to dive into

59
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: all of that and more. But Buck, I feel like

60
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: we have to start with net Yahoo visiting first foreign

61
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: state visitor of the Trump era. Last night they had

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: a press conference, and before we dive into that press conference, Buck,

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: is it fair to say that Trump has answered more

64
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: questions already from the news media in the first two

65
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: weeks of his presidency than Joe Biden likely did in

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: the last two years of his presidency. Whatever you think

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: about the political universe. Trump is more available to more

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: media and telling you more about what's going on and

69
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: what he sees than Joe Biden did for the last

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: two years. I mean, it is night and day simply

71
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: the communication aspect and leadership in a public fashion that

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: we are seeing between Trump and Biden, right, I mean

73
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: to me, I don't want to understate or overlook how

74
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: different it is just to see a president standing in

75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: the in front of the media and just randomly taking

76
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: questions without having to look down at a note card

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: and read what his staff is telling him to ask,

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: without the questions being precleared, all these things that we

79
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: didn't see for years from Biden. So with that in mind,

80
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: Trump just cannon balled into the Middle East swimming pool.

81
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: I think as one way to kind of use a

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: metaphor to describe what exactly happened, and I believe we

83
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: have audio. I'm sure we do, but at its most

84
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: basic level, buck Trump basically said, Hey, I want the

85
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: United States involved. I want us to assist in a

86
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: substantial way in rebuilding Gaza, and I want this to

87
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: be the way that we basically bring the Middle East

88
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: back from October seventh cannonball ripple effects have just gone

89
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: in every direction. No one foresaw anything like this. The motivation,

90
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: I would say, Buck, and I'm curious what you think

91
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: is and much of the media, I think still doesn't

92
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: get it. At his heart, Trump is just a real

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: estate guy. Like he sees land. He said this when

94
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: he went to visit North Korea. He's like, you know,

95
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: you got some nice beaches here, you could probably have casinos,

96
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: you could have I mean, I'm not even kidding.

97
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: This is what he did.

98
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Remember, Yeah, he told Kim Jong Oud He's like, this

99
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: is beautiful land, you know, like, why wouldn't you have

100
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,559
Speaker 1: a nice hotel here? And if you have spent time

101
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: around real estate guy And I know there's real estate

102
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: gal too, but a lot of this is real estate guy.

103
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: They are the most.

104
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Optimistic, blustering, you know, forward thinking, sometimes a little bit

105
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: crazy when they see land. And I think that Trump

106
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: really has seen that this place is destroyed and he's like,

107
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: I want to rebuild it, and I think the United

108
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: States could do a good job of it. And I

109
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: also think he knows Buck, nothing has worked, and so

110
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: he's just kind of throwing suggestions out in a way

111
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: to try to scramble the existing dynamics.

112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: If that makes sense. Here is let's just let everyone

113
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: hear what he's said, because I listened to this whole

114
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: press conference yesterday. It's not really a I don't know

115
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: what it's like at an executive order signing with members

116
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: of the press in the room. It's very Trump, you know,

117
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: it's very much the look. It's a show. I mean,

118
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: he does this, and this, he's creating news for the

119
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 2: full forty five minutes of the hour, whatever it was.

120
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: He's doing this, but this has cut seven Trump saying

121
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: he will turn Gaza into the Riviera.

122
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: I do see a long term ownership position, and I

123
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: see it bringing great stability to that part of the

124
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: Middle East and maybe the entire Middle East. And everybody

125
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: I've spoken to this was not a decision made lightly.

126
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: Everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United

127
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: States owning that piece of life and developing and creating

128
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent in

129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: a really magnificent area that nobody would know. Nobody could

130
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: look because all they see is death and destruction and

131
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: rubble and and uh demolished buildings falling all over and

132
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: we have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal.

133
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: And I don't want to be cute.

134
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: I don't want to be a wise guy.

135
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: But the riviera of the Middle East, the rivi era

136
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: of the Middle East. Now the AI enabled memes of

137
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: like Trump Tower, Trump Hotels and everything. Is there a gaza?

138
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: Is it?

139
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 4: You know?

140
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: Like what a lago? Yes, this this took over the

141
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: internet for the last twenty four hours. That was actually

142
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: from Trump's UH press conference with bb after UH, after

143
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: the the signing and everything else that he was doing

144
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: there on the EOS. But okay, Clai, let's break this

145
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: down because he there are there are really two different

146
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: There was a little bit of a freak that happened

147
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: from some people, and I'll just I'll jump ahead. I

148
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: haven't even seen your response to this. My sense is, look,

149
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: let Trump be Trump. He's doing his thing, you know,

150
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: Let let the man pull the tricks he needs to

151
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: for the magic show to continue, because he's on a

152
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: hot streak. He's kicking ass. You know, I don't think

153
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: he's going to actually take Gaza. Let's just see what

154
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: he's saying here. Let you know, because there you saw

155
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: the panic or we can get into who's panickings the

156
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: two very different groups of people. What how do you

157
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: view what he says here in terms of actual policy.

158
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: I again, I look at it as a real estate

159
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: guy and as a business guy. And for anybody out

160
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: there that has ever been involved in a let me,

161
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: let me just explain the way he's thinking. Anybody who's

162
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: ever been involved in a negotiation. Sometimes you walk into

163
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: a negotiation and the range of potential outcomes is wild, right,

164
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Like you might buy a company, you might decide to

165
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: sell a company, you might decide. In other words, the

166
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: entire spectrum of possibility is a and sometimes somebody just

167
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: needs to start the conversation. So when I looked at it, Buck,

168
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: I just came back from Israel, and I thought it

169
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: was an important trip for me personally.

170
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 2: See, I know you've been there.

171
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: You feel so small because the history of Rancor is

172
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: so long, and any one lifespan eighty years, one hundred years,

173
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: however fortunate you are to live, it is a pin

174
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: prick in the conflict that has existed there. And when

175
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: you have both sides sort of intractably in a position,

176
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem like there's much movement. I see

177
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: Trump as just someone who runs in and like the

178
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: cannonball in the pool. Idea is one where it's like, hey,

179
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: let's just shake up the status quo and see if

180
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: it could lead us to a better place. That's kind

181
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: of the way that I take much of what Trump

182
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: says publicly is a challenge to the status quo. It's

183
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: like an opening bid, but on an idea for a solution.

184
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: Sounds to me though, like you don't you agree with me,

185
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: You don't actually think Trump is right now planning on

186
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: sending a of course, right, and so this is where

187
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: so people take him so literally. This is that still

188
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: this is the key, right, This is why everyone seeds

189
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: a condown. The left, of course, takes everything Trump says

190
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: both out of context and literally, and they're insane. So

191
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: those are three things. So all that together and so.

192
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 5: They're like, oh my gosh, Goza in there.

193
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 2: And I really believe this. Americans overwhelmingly, who pretend to

194
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: care so much about Gaza. It's performative. Okay, these campus protesters,

195
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: they know nothing about Gaza. They've never even been to

196
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: the Middle East. Again, a few of them have, but

197
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: ninety ninety five percent. It's all just oh I care,

198
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: And I always want to ask them you care. You know,

199
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: some some kid who grew up in like the mainline

200
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: of Philadelphia, you know, having like the maid do his

201
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 2: laundry and bring them all his meals when he went

202
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: to private school. Now he's at Harvard and he's all

203
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: upset about Gaza. I want to say, why aren't you

204
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: so upset about South Sudan? Do you know what's going

205
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: on in South Sudan? You have any idea about the

206
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: ethnic cleansing and the rapes and the murders and the

207
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: horrific anyway, And the answers, of course no. They only

208
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: care about Gaza because they think it makes them look cool.

209
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: So there are those people we can just kind of

210
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: dispense with that because it's just anti Trump. Oh my god, Gaza.

211
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: They act like it's such a big deal. There were

212
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: people on the right though, who and even people that

213
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: you and I like and know, you know in the

214
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: commentary space, who were very put off by this right away,

215
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: because like, this is not America. First, I don't give

216
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: a damn about Gaza. Why would we take Gaza and

217
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: everything else? And to them, I would just say I

218
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: understand the principle that they're asserting. I don't disagree that

219
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: we don't want to set up some satellites. It's one

220
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: thing to take over Greenland. Okay, we could take over Greenland.

221
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: That'd be one thing.

222
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 6: If we try to take Gaza, I know something about this,

223
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 6: we would have every jiehattist wacko from Morocco to Indonesia

224
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 6: showing up and suicide bombs and the whole it ap

225
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 6: and be an absolute mess.

226
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: Right, I don't think that's gonna happen. But to Clay's point,

227
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: everyone just and I agree and my point too. Take

228
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: a deep breath. Trump is being Trump, He's you know,

229
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: you know, this is a way of showing, hey, you know,

230
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: who should take Gaza, so to speak, at least take

231
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: ownership of it in a financial responsibility sense. Ultra rich

232
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: Muslim Gulf states that could entirely fund the rebuilding of this,

233
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: that could entirely fund an actual, you know, functioning civil

234
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: society there, And this I think brings them into the

235
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: conversation in a way that otherwise wouldn't happen. Look, there

236
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: are jewels of the Middle East right now, leave aside Israel,

237
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: which I love and obviously have a deep affinity for

238
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: the people of Israel. As people attack us as zionists

239
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: now online. Do you ever see this you and I

240
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: that we we're Zionists and see that. Yeah, I mean

241
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 2: I've been called a lot worse. Let me just I.

242
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: Love the Jewish people and I still with civilization, so

243
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: I'm in the favor of Western civilization. I was actually

244
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: going to say something very positive for the Middle East

245
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: outside of Israel. A lot of what's going on in

246
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia I think is very positive if you look

247
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: at the way again, I'm not saying it's very positive

248
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: compared to like, you know, the flourishment of full civilization

249
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: in ancient Rome, right, I'm talking about compared to recent

250
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: history in the Middle East. There's a lot of green

251
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: shoots of progress, I would say in Saudi Arabia, I

252
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: think Mohammed ben Salmon, who is a relatively young guy

253
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: for leadership age, has given more freedoms to women in

254
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: the Middle East and to people in his country than

255
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: has historically existed. I think you can look at Gatar

256
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: there positive signs. I think you can look at Bahrain.

257
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: I would like to go visit some of these countries

258
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: to see them for myself. What Trump I think is

259
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: seeing is if these other places in the Middle East

260
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: can become tech hubs in some way, can become capitalistic

261
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: in some way, why cannot there be a Middle Eastern

262
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: arrangement that leads to some form of peace in Gaza

263
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: and a rebuilt area.

264
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: And also all this stuff about that Trump is saying

265
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: here and speaking honestly about it and creating some sense

266
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: of accountability for why does Gaza have to be? And

267
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: when I say Gaza, I'm not just talking. I'm not

268
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: talking about it in the context of oh my god,

269
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: the war and there's rubble, of course, there's all that. Now, yes,

270
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: how did it get to this point? Right? Why hasn't

271
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: Gaza been for the last call it twenty years since

272
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: the I'm trying to think of one of the handover

273
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: I think the Handovers two thousand and two and five.

274
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: I can't remember now when the when the Israeli's against

275
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: a lot of internal opposition, by the way, pulled out

276
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: and said, okay, fine, Palestinian's Gaza is yours. So whatever

277
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: that timeline is to present, why has it been such

278
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: a disaster? And the answer is humas and the decision

279
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: by the electorates such as it is inside of Gaza

280
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: because they voted for this and they support Hamas. That's

281
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: why it doesn't have to be this way, Clay.

282
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: That's the point, Amen, And I mean, I think you

283
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: can just say, like, Okay, let's compare Hamas and Gaza,

284
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: and let's compare what's happened in Dubai.

285
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: Like in the last twenty years.

286
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: There is a pathway to peace and prosperity in the

287
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: Middle East. And there's actually again green shoots showing much

288
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: of that positivity. And I think it is innate nature.

289
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: Trump is a very positive guy because guess what, every

290
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: real estate developer in the world has to be very

291
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: positive because you have to in some way create something

292
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: out of nothing. And most people who create something out

293
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: of nothing that is a brand new building, a brand

294
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: new opportunity in real estate. You don't do it by

295
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: being a pessimist. General life lesson. Look, a lot of

296
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: winning going on in Washington right now, but not every

297
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: problem is going to be solved overnight. And one of

298
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: our nation's biggest problems, national debt and inflation. You hear

299
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: us talking about it all the time, hurts the value

300
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: of our savings and our four oh one ks why

301
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: you should consider investing a portion of your assets in gold,

302
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: which is likely to hold its.

303
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: Value, if not increase further.

304
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: In fact, gold continues to set new record highs, as

305
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: interest rates are remaining stubbornly high, and as our national

306
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: debt has yet to come down. You can check out

330
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 8: a podcast on your network. And by the way, you know,

331
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 8: we should judge the quality of the relationships that we

332
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 8: have with people in our lives based upon whether or

333
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 8: not they're there for us when times are bad, and

334
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 8: I was going through a real rough time and you

335
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 8: all were there for me from the very beginning, never

336
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 8: wavered once. And you know, it was just an honor

337
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 8: to be to be a small part of what you

338
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 8: all have built. So thank you both and your entire

339
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,800

00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,440

Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like Trump here, Sean. We you know,

352
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 2: we take the best people, we put them on the podcast,

Speaker 2: We put the best people on the podcast network lay

354
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: in Bone, and we're really really excited about it. I mean,

355
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: tell everybody, you know, tell everybody what your thoughts are

356
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: right now about how you can help along with Secretary

357
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: heg Seth, just reorient the mission, the understanding of what

358
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 2: needs to be done. I mean, what are your plans

359
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: now since you're going to be speaking for the most

360
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: important military force in the history of the planet.

361
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, let me tell you just a

362
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 8: little quick personal story. You know, after nine to eleven,

363
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 8: I was really angry. I don't come from a long

364
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 8: line of military generals in my family or non commission

365
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 8: officers in my family. The towers went down on nine

366
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 8: to eleven, and I just remember getting I was so

367
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 8: afraid and I was so angry all at the same time,

368
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 8: and I said, you know, I got to do something

369
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 8: about this. And so two days after nine to eleven,

370
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 8: went down to the recruiter, said I wanted to join

371
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 8: the Infantry, not just that. Wanted to go to airborne

372
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 8: schools so the Army could teach me how to jump

373
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 8: out of perfectly get airplanes. Wanted to go to ranger

374
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 8: school because it was the best leadership school that the

375
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 8: Army had to offer, and I wanted to be the

376
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 8: best leader that I could for my truth hoops. And

377
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 8: then a few years later I found myself boots on

378
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 8: the ground in Afghanistan in two thousand and six with

379
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 8: the greatest group of men, and back then it was

380
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 8: just men in the infantry, greatest group of men that

381
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 8: you could possibly imagine, who taught, coached and mentored me

382
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 8: every step of the way on what it means to

383
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 8: be a servant. Leader of the Outlaw Platoon was our name.

384
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 8: And you know, I always understood academically that yes, we

385
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 8: are an amazing military force, most the best military fighting

386
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 8: force on the face of the planet, but also a

387
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 8: benevolent force as well. It does an extraordinary amount of

388
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 8: good all across the world. But I didn't really fully

389
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 8: grasp it until I was fighting and bleeding with those

390
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 8: men on the battlefield and learning about the legacies and

391
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 8: history of these units. And so one of the things

392
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 8: that I've always regretted is that I didn't understand going

393
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 8: in on the front end of my service that we

394
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 8: are truly standing on the shoulders of giants from every

395
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 8: warrior generation. I mean, we have what we have here

396
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 8: in this country because of them, men and women who

397
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 8: are willing to put on the uniform and go to

398
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 8: dark places and defend our freedom. And now I have

399
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 8: the amazing and awesome and enormous responsibility of going in

400
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 8: on the front end recognizing all of that. So, to

401
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 8: directly answer your question, part of that is to be

402
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 8: represent warriors past. But everyone that wears the uniform today

403
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 8: and everyone that will wear the uniform in the future,

404
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 8: they need to know that the sole purpose and our

405
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 8: sole focus, and our sole mission at the Pentagon and

406
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 8: Department at Defense is going to be readiness and lethality.

407
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 8: And that's what kids that are wondering whether or not

408
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 8: they're going to join the military. That's what they want.

409
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 8: Are they going to get the best toughest training in

410
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 8: the world. Are they going to be able to prove

411
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 8: themselves to both themselves and their peers that they can

412
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 8: handle the best training in the world, Take it and

413
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 8: serve something greater than themselves. And we're going to deliver

414
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 8: on that mission. I mean, we've already exceeded recruiting goals

415
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 8: in the month of December, just based on President Trump's election.

416
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 8: But by the end of this year, I guarantee you

417
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 8: we are not going to be in the grips of

418
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 8: this great recruiting crisis that we're in right now, because

419
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 8: you're going to see a drastic shift evolving the Force

420
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 8: from you know, a focus on social experimentation and insane

421
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 8: stuff like that diversity, equity inclusion, which has been a

422
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 8: disaster for a force, to readiness, a mission focus, and lethality,

423
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 8: which is where it belongs.

424
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: Sean Buck and I every day just feel like this

425
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. I know, you're a sports guy, it's like Trump.

426
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: It's like Trump has twenty home runs in April. I

427
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: mean every day, if you're a golfer, it's like, you know,

428
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: sometimes you stand in the tea box and you hit

429
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: a great tea shot and you get to think like, hey,

430
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: maybe I'm going to burn you this hole. It doesn't

431
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: happen to me a lot, But when I do golf

432
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: and I hit a good tea shot, like I feel

433
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: like every time every day we wake up, Trump is

434
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: just striping one right down the center of the free

435
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: freeway a fair way. And I don't remember ever feeling

436
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: like this before. How excited are you to be a

437
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: part of the administration?

438
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: But do you feel that same way? Like man like?

439
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: Unlike so many politicians, he told us exactly what he

440
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: was gonna do and then and this is what it

441
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: shouldn't feel crazy, But then he got into office and

442
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: he just did it. It's so transactional delivery on a

443
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: level for rankly that I don't ever remember foreign politics.

444
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: What's it feel like to be joining up? And do

445
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: you feel the same way sixteen seventeen days.

446
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 8: In Yes, it's actually I turned to my wife, Commander

447
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 8: Melanie as she's known on the podcast, and I said,

448
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 8: you know, President Trump, this guy is the best president

449
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 8: certainly of my lifetime, bar none. He said exactly what

450
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 8: he was gonna do on the campaign troll. And by

451
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 8: the way, he never once bent to group think on

452
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 8: the side of the Republicans or Democrats or the conventional

453
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 8: wisdom of anything.

454
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, even during the.

455
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 8: Darkest, most difficult times, I never saw that man waiver

456
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 8: one single time in what he believed, whether it was

457
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 8: regarding election integrity, his vision on American foreign policy, his

458
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 8: vision on the southern border. From the moment he came

459
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 8: down the escalator, it's always been exactly the same. And

460
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 8: despite withering resistance on all sides, Democrat, Republicans, the media,

461
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 8: I've never experienced anything in my life. Having run for

462
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 8: in two election cycles in twenty twenty and then in

463
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 8: twenty twenty two, which by the way, were pretty crazy

464
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 8: election cycles.

465
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 5: Both of those pale in.

466
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 8: Comparison to what twenty twenty four was like with two

467
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 8: assassination attempts. The mugshot that feels like it was ten

468
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 8: years ago. Everyone discounted this guy. Everyone thought it was

469
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 8: not possible. At some point or another, people were like,

470
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 8: how is this guy going to handle this?

471
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 5: But none of that.

472
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 8: He defied all of the odds, and now he's in

473
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 8: office and he's accomplished more in eighteen days than Biden

474
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 8: did in four years. And I think the vast majority

475
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 8: of Americans, including Democrats, by the way, which they are

476
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 8: totally weak and leaderless, right now, I think they're finally

477
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 8: seeing Holy smokes, we America did not have a president

478
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 8: for four years. We basically had a bunch of twenty

479
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 8: something thirty something staffers behind the curtain, you know, putting

480
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 8: executive orders in front of a president who wasn't there cognitively.

481
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 8: And by the way, the cats out of the bag

482
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 8: with that. Everybody knows it. This is what it's like

483
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 8: to have an American president, you know, overcome all odds

484
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 8: seriously and do the things that he promised on behalf

485
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 8: of the American people. And by the way, I bet

486
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 8: you the Democrats and the media are wishing that he won,

487
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 8: that they didn't stand in the way of him winning

488
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty because this president now.

489
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: I tweeted that earlier today, Sean, you know this, everybody listening.

490
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: I think he's going to do more in six months

491
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: than he would have in four years if he had

492
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: been president.

493
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: Twenty points. It's like the Democrats decided that Trump had

494
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: to have his Rocky in Siberia training montage for four

495
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: years under Biden, and you know he was ready for

496
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: the big fight when it came up. And we're seeing

497
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: that right now. We speaking of Sean Parnell soon to

498
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: be installed as the Pentagon spokesman, and so those of

499
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: you who have been listening to Sewan on the podcast

500
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: going to put a little little hold on that while

501
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: he goes and serves his country at a senior level

502
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: at the Pentagon. And we're very very happy for him,

503
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: very proud of him for doing so. John, just give

504
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: me a sense most important things that could be fixed

505
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: with the military. You know, you got Secretary of Hegseet

506
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: who we all have very high opinion of, have known

507
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: you and I have known Pete for fifteen years now

508
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: are going on fifteen years, and you're gonna be able

509
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: to actually do things right. It's not just going to

510
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: be the kind of business as usual approach to what

511
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: our warfighters need. What are some of the top of

512
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: the agenda items now that you're going to a level

513
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: of the Pentagon where you know you're going to be

514
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: responsible for communicating it, Pete's going to be responsible for

515
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: fixing it.

516
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you.

517
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 8: I think Agenda item one, you know because ultimately I

518
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 8: work for Secretary heg Sat, the President of the United States,

519
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 8: and the American peace people. Is bring a level of

520
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 8: radical transparency to the Department of Defense. And no, I'm

521
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 8: not talking about disclosing classified material and public setting.

522
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: No, I don't mean that.

523
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 8: But the American people have lost an enormous amount of

524
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 8: faith in our institutions, especially once venerated institutions like the

525
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 8: Department of Defense. Part of my job is going to

526
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 8: be to communicate honestly, in transparency and transparently with the

527
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 8: American people, the American media, and Congress to earn back

528
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 8: that trust. The second part of it is DEI has

529
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 8: got to go. Anyone that you hear says, oh, diversities

530
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 8: are strength, Well, yeah, diversity is a strength. It's nice

531
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 8: having different perspectives around the table. But what makes the

532
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 8: American military the most lethal fighting force in the face

533
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 8: of the planet is at one point during basic training,

534
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 8: we all put aside our differences and say, you know,

535
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 8: no hyphenated Americans here, We're all just Americans fighting behind

536
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 8: the same mission. That is ultimately the differentiating factor on

537
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 8: the battlefield that makes us so lethal. We've got to

538
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 8: evolve our Army from insulated brigade combat teams that we're

539
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 8: largely focused on, you know, asymmetric threat of you know,

540
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 8: Islamic extremism, Islamic extremism and global terror, which by the way,

541
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 8: still exists. Still have to be able to combat that.

542
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 8: But we've got to evolve our force to be able

543
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 8: to face more conventional threats like Russia and China. We've

544
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 8: got to rapidly adapt to accommodate for the threat of

545
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 8: AI integrated drones things like that. We got to start

546
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 8: shipbuilding in our navy. You know, there's so many things

547
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 8: that have to be done and have to be done

548
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 8: quickly to get our military back on course to We

549
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 8: don't want to fight wars, okay at all. But the

550
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 8: best way to not fight wars is to deter them,

551
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 8: right And so Teddy Roosevelt said, you know, speaks softly

552
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 8: and carry a big stick. Under President Trump and speak

553
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 8: loudly and carry a big stick. Turns out that works

554
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 8: pretty good as well. So we're going to We're going

555
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 8: to deter conflicts and deter global wars, keep America's sons

556
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 8: and daughters out of the fight by building the biggest,

557
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 8: strongest military on the face of the planet to keep

558
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 8: the peace.

559
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: Sean super excited for you. It's the Super Bowl, as

560
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: you well know, I want to get your Super Bowl pick.

561
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: But you are a monster Pittsburgh Steeler fan. The biggest

562
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: question for Steeler Nation is what do you do at

563
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: quarterback going forward?

564
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 6: I don't know.

565
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 5: People think that Justin Fields is going to be the guy. Uh.

566
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 8: I don't think that's going to be the case. The Pittsburgh.

567
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh Steelers have a real problem. I think they really

568
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 8: have an ownership problem. You know, I I really believe that.

569
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 8: I'm sure Mike Tomlin is a great guy, but I

570
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 8: think the organization just needs overhaul.

571
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 5: Uh.

572
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 8: We don't win in the playoffs anymore. That's a real problem.

573
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 8: Just looking at the team as a whole and saying like, well, hey,

574
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 8: we're above average on all of these stats. I'm sorry.

575
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 8: In the city of Pittsburgh, that's not good enough. We're

576
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 8: about winning championships in that in this city, and so

577
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 8: I think the organization as a whole just needs a

578
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 8: complete mine mindset shift to be a championship caliber team. Again,

579
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 8: it's not just about winning or having winning season, which

580
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 8: by the way, is the most meaningless stat and the

581
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 8: history of NFL football. Who cares if you had a

582
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 8: winning season if you're not actually winning playoff games and championships.

583
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 8: But as far as the Super Bowl, I'm sad to say,

584
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 8: as a monster NFL football fan, I'm gonna watch it,

585
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 8: but the Chiefs and the Eagles. I'm from Pennsylvania, but

586
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 8: I will never be one of those political types that

587
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 8: wears half Steelers and half Eagles.

588
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: I can't die that.

589
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 5: I load the Eagles. I load the Chiefs.

590
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 8: I don't want to see another second of Travis Kelcey

591
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 8: and Taylor Swift on the screen. I just kind of

592
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 8: load the idea of watching the Super Bowl this year.

593
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 8: My friend, well Buck Bold, well do you yeah? It

594
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 8: is very bold.

595
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: I do love It does drive me crazy when people

596
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: try a lot of politicians try to pretend that they

597
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: are sports fans, and then they're like, I love the

598
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: Steelers and I love the Eagle. That's impossible. If you're

599
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania, you like one or the other, and everybody

600
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: who's a sports fan is like, yeah, you're full of it.

601
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: Now you might root for another team. Like sometimes there's

602
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: probably some guys that are cowboy fans. God forbid. Who

603
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: live in Pennsylvania. But at least you can't claim to

604
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: root for both of them, like you can't be from Alabama.

605
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Katie Britt, you know, is not gonna say she's a

606
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Bama girl. He's not gonna say, oh, I also love Auburn. Meanwhile, Tubberville,

607
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: he's an Auburn guy. He's not like I love Alabama.

608
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: People respect if you just own what you actually believe

609
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: in all facets, including sports.

610
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 5: It has to be that way. And by the way,

611
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 5: my wife is the same way.

612
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 8: She's a huge New England Patriots fan, actually a real

613
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 8: Tom Brady fan, but also a Baltimore Ravens fan. So

614
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 8: let me just tell you we have real interesting NFL

615
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 8: football Sundays in Fort Parnell. When you're cheering for the

616
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 8: Ravens and everyone in my family are big Steelers fans.

617
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 8: Sometimes there canna be a little conflict there, you know.

618
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: We By the way, Buck and I are super interested.

619
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't Buck may have been. I've never been to

620
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: the Pentagon before. We're gonna come.

621
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: Have you ever had it either, which is crazy given

622
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: I worked at the CIA, but I went to all

623
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: the other big buildings, never got inside the Pentagon. I

624
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: only did the Intel agencies.

625
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,840

633
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,960

00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 8: of your network. And thank you for everything that you've

637
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 8: done for me.

638
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: Well, keep killing it, enjoy the super Bowl even if

Speaker 1: with you. We look forward to seeing how you're going

642
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: to do.

643

Speaker 2: Man.

644
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, look Hillsdale College. I challenged my son last

645
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: night on the act. Did not end up doing it,

646
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: Buck because it turned out he had another test that

647
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: he had to study. Lucky for him, he didn't have

648
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: time to go head to head with me on the act.

649
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: He is taking it Saturday. He is printing off act

650
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: as part of my Super Bowl prep. I'm taking the

Speaker 1: They're not a lot of fun and a lot of

671
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: Podcast, Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate

672
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us Wednesday edition of

673
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: the program. We said this on the program. Credit to Trump.

674
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: A lot of what we say on the program now

675
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: becoming policy forty seven, putting in place all of it.

676
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: So let's dive in here for a minute. Buck, You

677
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: and I said on the program as soon as news

678
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: came out that Iran wanted to assassinate Trump and that

679
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: the government had actionable authority of that being true. The

680
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: fact that to me, Joe Biden didn't come out and

681
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: immediately vociferously without any tiptoeing up to it, put Iran

682
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: on notice publicly what would happen if they tried to

683
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: do something like this was an embarrassment of leadership by him.

684
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: And in fact, I remember this may have been like

685
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: a year and a half or two years ago when

686
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: this news came out, Buck, we had a big discussion.

687
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: Remember Bill Clinton, when there was a strong plan to

688
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: kill George Bush Senior came into office and absolutely waylaid Iraq.

689
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: Do you remember that story back in the day, We

690
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: talked about it on the air. Hey, yeah, Clinton had

691
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: just run against George HW.

692
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: Bush.

693
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: But if someone tries to kill the president, whether you're

694
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: a Republican, Democrat, independent, from a foreign nation or anywhere else,

695
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: but certain American. That's an American problem. We rally around

696
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: our total team no matter what. And Biden never said anything. Trump,

697
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: to his credit, was asked about it and gave one

698
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: of the baddest asked answers I've ever heard, which is, Hey, basically,

699
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: I've let everybody know, if they kill me, we're going

700
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: to obliterate that frigging country. Here it is yesterday in

701
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: the Oval Office. Listen, Iran and.

702
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: Their prophecies will threatened to retaliate against you and your team,

703
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 2: like killing you guys or taking.

704
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 3: Out well, they haven't done that, and that would be

705
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 3: a terrible thing for them to do, not because of me.

706
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: If they did that, they would be obliterated. That it

707
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 3: would be the end. I've left instructions.

708
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 9: If they do it, they get obliterated, there won't be

709
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 9: anything left and they shouldn't be able to do it.

710
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 9: And Biden should have said that, but he never did.

711
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 9: I don't know what. Lack of intelligence perhaps, but he

712
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 9: never said it. If that happens to a leader or

713
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 9: close to a leader, frankly, if you had other people

714
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 9: involved also, you would call for total obliteration of a

715
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 9: state that did it that would include Iran.

716
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: I love it. I mean it's gonna, I think, be

717
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: something that the Iranians, the Iranian leadership keeps in mind.

718
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 2: Iran is one of these situations where there's a lot

719
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 2: of indications that the Iranian people recognize that their regime

720
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: is bad and have a lot of pro Western, even

721
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: sometimes pro American tendencies. But the people in charge, the apparatus,

722
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: in charge, the security services, the military, the Mullah's very

723
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: very bad situation and continuing on, I think they get

724
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: the message from Trump that he's not messing around and

725
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: they better not get any ideas. So Iran, also, i

726
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 2: might add, is more defanged now in large part because

727
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: of what Israel has done than at any time in

728
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 2: recent memory. And with Trump coming in, right, so Iran

729
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: has effectively taken I'm sorry, Israel has taken Iran's proxies

730
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: and hit them hard in a way that makes them

731
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 2: far less effective tools of terror across the Middle East battlefield.

732
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: And now Trump comes in and he's signing executive orders

733
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 2: on maximum pressure campaigns, and they know with the Trump administration,

734
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 2: you know, they don't want to mess around and find

735
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: out And so that was really the executive order, I

736
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 2: think the spirit of the ex secutive order he signed yesterday.

737
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 10: Uh.

738
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: And there are some other things too he got into.

739
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: Uh did you see him, Clay what he talked about.

740
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: We mentioned this on the show yesterday. Bukeley, who is

741
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: the president of El Salvador, which is this is a

742
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: story that every American should know. And I know, you know,

743
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: Tucker's done a high profile and interview with him, and

744
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: people have you know, sat in Bob Boukeley was just

745
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: with Marc Rubio, Secretary of State for Trumpet, so people

746
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: know who Bukeley is. But really every American should know

747
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 2: because El Salvador was, on a per capita basis, one

748
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: of the highest murder rates. And when I say one of,

749
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 2: I mean out of two hundred something countries, it was

750
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: top three most years. Whatever.

751
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: The most dangerous part of America is off the charts

752
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: compared to that part of America. That's how dangerous that

753
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: part of El Salvador was.

754
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: If you have if you have an American city where

755
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: the or the you know, the murder rate is you know,

756
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 2: five per one hundred thousand or something or ten per

757
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: hundred thousand in El Salvador, it was like one hundred

758
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: per hundred. I mean, it was just a completely and

759
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: it's a small country, and there was the sense of

760
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: oh no, what can we do? And the Democrat idea

761
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: for this. This ties into a lot. Okay, this ties

762
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: into the aid conversation, It ties into the immigration conversation,

763
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 2: It ties into certainly the crime conversation. Democrats were remember Kamala,

764
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 2: the borders are, who wasn't root causes? You know, I'm

765
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: gonna go to look at root causes. Well, Bookeley comes

766
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 2: in and he goes, I've got an idea. If you're

767
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: a criminal who's doing really bad things, we're just going

768
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 2: to lock you up and we're going to make sure

769
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 2: that you cannot do any bad things anymore. And whatever

770
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: it takes to get us there, we're going to do. Now.

771
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: El Salvador has one of the lowest murder rates in

772
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: the Western hemisphere. It has a lower murder rate per capita,

773
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: I believe than we do. I think that Canada even does.

774
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it is like there's almost no murders happening

775
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 2: in Bukeley's El Salvador, and they're saying, we'll take some

776
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 2: of your bad guys. So Trump this brought this up yesterday,

777
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 2: Boukayley saying, hey, look, if you got people you don't

778
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 2: want to hold in your Colorado Supermax or something else,

779
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: we got a heck of a prison system here set

780
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: up for them. And here's what Trump said. This is

781
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: three We could.

782
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 9: Make deals where we'd get these animals out of our country.

783
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 9: And you know, if you take the shooters, the people

784
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 9: that hit old ladies in the back of the head

785
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 9: with a baseball bat when they're not looking they walk

786
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 9: down the street, the people that you and you see it,

787
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 9: the people that take out a gun and shoot you

788
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 9: for no reason at all, If we could get these

789
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 9: animals out of our country and put them in a

790
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 9: different country under the supervision of somebody that made a

791
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 9: relatively small fee to maintain these people. Because you know

792
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 9: what these are, criminals. You call them hardened criminals. They've

793
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 9: been in jail forty times. There's one forty two times,

794
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 9: and every time the person gets out it's a heat.

795
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 9: Every time he gets out, he commits another crime within

796
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 9: twenty four hours. It's a hanus crime, it's a rough crime.

797
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 9: We don't want these people in our country either.

798
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 2: They don't want them in our country.

799
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 7: No.

800
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 1: Look, this was It's funny because this was the entire

801
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: concept of penal colonies back in the day, right, Like

802
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: you would take people literally out of your physical land

803
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: and put them elsewhere because you found them to be

804
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: such a disaster to your ability to to be safe

805
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: in your country. Now there are challenges here. I don't

806
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: know what the law would be about being able to

807
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: take an American and put them in a foreign prison.

808
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: You know, I practiced law in the Caribbean. I'm still

809
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: licensed in the Caribbean when I graduated US Virgin Islands.

810
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: You do not I think I've talked about this on

811
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: the show before, Buck, but you do, I've done it.

812
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: You do not want to be in another country's prison.

813
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: Like as awful as American prisons are, and I ain't

814
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: saying I want to be in one, when you walk in,

815
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm us v I I have represented prisoners there. When

816
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: you walk into a and this is still under the

817
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: American flag, but it's a territory. You walk into some

818
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: of those prisons, it is a nasty place. I would

819
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: imagine that a lot of these Latin American prisons, Buck,

820
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes an American prison look like a.

821
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: Hotel I had, uh, you know, Carrie and I went

822
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 2: to Bermuda while we were engaged, just for a weekend.

823
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 9: You know.

824
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 2: It's actually a very easy flight from like New York

825
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 2: and DC. It's you know, uh, and it's a very civilized,

826
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 2: lovely place. I high highly recommend it. I'd never been before,

827
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 2: but it's just one of these things where our driver

828
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 2: one day had formerly been the director of prisons on

829
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 2: the allow and you know, we're just talking to him

830
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 2: very you know, very charming, fellow local and islander. And

831
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: and I remember we I remember thinking I had that

832
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: American thing of I'm like, oh, prison Bermuda, Like, you know,

833
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 2: do they give you like a cocktail and you know,

834
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: some some seersucker shorts, you know, like how does it go?

835
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 2: And he was like, oh no, no air conditioning, Clay,

836
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no air no things like that. R you're

837
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 2: in a Yeah.

838
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: In the Virgin Islands, Saint Croix, they did not have

839
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: air conditioning for the prisoners there.

840
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

841
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: And I mean we're talking about you know, it is

842
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: stultifying there. If you've ever been in the Caribbean, imagine

843
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: that you're in a concrete box basically, and it is

844
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: there's virtually no air circulation at all. I mean, you

845
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: are just sweating all day long. Doesn't get very cool

846
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: at night. I remember going in and look when anytime

847
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: you go into a prison, for anybody who's been to

848
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: a prison, you definitely leave and you want to kiss

849
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: the ground when you walk out. You're like, man, that

850
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: is even just going in knowing you can leave. It's

851
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: intimidating going through that many different check points everything else.

852
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: And I represent it. Back in the.

853
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: Day, every warrior in the Virgin Islands buck had to

854
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: get assigned criminal cases because they don't have enough criminal

855
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: defense attorneys, and so everyone licensed there would get criminal cases,

856
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: which kind of unheard of. It doesn't exist anywhere in

857
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: the United States. So I'm a twenty five year old

858
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: lawyer assigned criminal cases, and I just remember the feeling

859
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: of going into that prison and there's nothing like it.

860
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: My point on it is American prisoners, actually, as prisoners go,

861
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: have it better than virtually anyone in the world. I

862
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: would imagine that in addition to getting the bad guys

863
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: off the streets, that is not a place that you

864
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: want to be. So I love the idea in general

865
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: of paying far less money to put our worst guys

866
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: in really crappy conditions because I think it actually might

867
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: be an incentive to not commit a crime.

868
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 2: That's like every one of those shows locked up abroad

869
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 2: or whatever, and always a lot of it for some

870
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: reasons seem like they're British guys who get caught up

871
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 2: in this stuff. And then like I was on all

872
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: the in Thailand and I was like, I could make

873
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 2: five thousand quid if I just take this package their customs.

874
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 2: It's like, don't do it. Don't do it, man, it's

875
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: not a good idea.

876
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: And not only are the prisons awful. You do not

877
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: want to be arrested in a foreign country, man, You

878
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 1: do not want to be arrested because you can find

879
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: a lawyer here. I get nervous sometimes in a foreign country,

880
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: just like with the idea of how you go through

881
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: the problem like the poor your guy who want to

882
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: behaving pad Tobago, it had like a couple of.

883
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 2: A couple of rounds in his back. Yeah, you want

884
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 2: to be a very good guest in foreign countries. And

885
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 2: one of the reasons is especially if you're in you know,

886
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 2: if you're in any kind of a country that is

887
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 2: kind of poor, which just because you're in a fancy

888
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: resort doesn't mean it doesn't it's not a poor country,

889
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: especially in the Caribbean places like that, because if you

890
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 2: have to rely on the embassy and or the consulate

891
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,479
Speaker 2: to take care of you, good luck. It's not gonna

892
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: be a fun process. Like having known a lot of

893
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 2: people who worked and worked with people who worked in

894
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: embassies and consulates, Yeah, that's not a good thing. So

895
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 2: Trump put out this idea. Again. I don't think he's

896
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: going to send our prisoners to Al Salvador, but he's

897
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: just you know, having the conversation and letting the criminal

898
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 2: justice system know that we're in the not messing around

899
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: group now and people who do look clay. The whole

900
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: next hour I want to dive into I know you

901
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: want to dive into women's sports thingy for women, which

902
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 2: we're going to do. But the next hour, I want

903
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 2: to talk about this stuff about the FBI and how

904
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: many people in the FBI were on j six cases

905
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: to me is jaw dropping. I mean, it's like truly terrifying.

906
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 2: So we should talk about that because I think the FBI,

907
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: the rank and file, we're far more involved in this

908
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: than a lot of people realize. And that's it. That's

909
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 2: a change in perception. I think on the right, we'll

910
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: get to this. We'll take some of your calls talk

911
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: about women's and women in sports, which I can't even

912
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 2: believe we're here, but we're in a place where Trump

913
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: has to be like, no dudes in women's sports.

914
00:46:59,719 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 5: Right.

915
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: Go at the Preborn Clinics nationwide. The team welcomes pregnant

916
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: mothers who are debating whether to bring their child into

917
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 2: this world or to seek an abortion. A big percentage

918
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 2: of these women are contending with unplanned pregnancies and they

919
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: could just as easily stroll into a planned parenthood clinic

920
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 2: and we know what happens there. But Preborn does all

921
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 2: they can to welcome in these pregnant moms to their

922
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: clinics and offer them love, support and the free ultrasound

923
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 2: because that ultrasound experience where mom sees the tiny baby

924
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: in the womb, is so often the game changer for

925
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 2: the decision for a life. This is only possible because

926
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 2: of you, the pro life community and your donations. Preborn

927
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: Clinics have been operating for decades and saving hundreds of

928
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 2: thousands of little babies' lives. They get no money from

929
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 2: the government. We need your help. For just twenty eight dollars,

930
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,799

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back into Clay an Buck. We're trying

940
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: to track down White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt. Pretty busy,

941
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 2: so it's okay. She has to come and join us tomorrow.

942
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 2: She's got an open invitation, but we'll see we can

943
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 2: grab her right now. We know we're hoping to catch

944
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 2: her in between briefings and sit downs with the President.

945
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 2: We do have some some of her comment comments from

946
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: the podium, including on Gaza, which I think was particularly helpful.

947
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 2: This is cut thirty two guys, This is after Trump

948
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 2: said that Gaza could be the Riviera, a lot of

949
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: people were getting all spun up over this. Here's what

950
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: she said to put things into com this is an.

951
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 10: Unhabitable place for human beings. Do you really think that

952
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 10: that families can live their dream in a region that

953
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 10: looks like this with no running water, no electricity. And

954
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 10: the Special Envoy to the President, Steve Whitcoff, recently traveled

955
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 10: to Gaza, as you all know, and he came back

956
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 10: with images that he showed the President of the dire

957
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 10: situation here, and the President made this decision with a

958
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 10: humanitarian heart for all people in the region.

959
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt joins us now she is the White House

960
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: Press Secretary. Caroline, appreciate you making the time. I know

961
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: you just finished, so you're probably a little fatigued of

962
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 2: answer questions, but here you get you get more time,

963
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: and there's no bickering to try to get questions your

964
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: way from the audience. So that's good. I don't really

965
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: want to have you react to yourself. But on the

966
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 2: Gaza issue, and we just heard what you said during

967
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 2: the press conference, where is the president's mind on this?

968
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 2: I mean, is this just the early phases or does

969
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 2: he have some pathways that he wants to explore that

970
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: he's already thought through a bit.

971
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 4: Hey sure, guys, Well thanks for having me. It's great

972
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 4: to be with you. It's my first time, I think

973
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 4: joining since I've been in my new job. So last

974
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 4: time I was with you, we were campaigning all over

975
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 4: the country and now we're governing and it's a lot

976
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 4: of fun and we're getting a lot done. And when

977
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 4: it comes to Gaza, as I just answered in my

978
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 4: press conference moments ago, you know, the President has socialized

979
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 4: this idea for quite some time. He's talked to his

980
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 4: partners in the region in the Middle East about this.

981
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 4: What he've used as an opportunity to rebuild this region

982
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 4: as a peaceful and habitable place for people that clearly

983
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 4: have been displaced because of Hamas's actions and a Radian

984
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 4: back terras in the region which have really led to

985
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 4: the demolition of Gaza. So, look, I think it's an

986
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 4: out of the box idea. But that's why the American

987
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 4: people elected Donald Trump to actually solve problems and not

988
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 4: just resort back to the same old broken thinking that

989
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 4: got us into this mess in the first place.

990
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: So Caroline, on this show. We're pretty By the way,

991
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 2: Clay is on his way currently flying down for the

992
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 2: super Bowl, so he's in the super Bowl zone. He

993
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 2: has to remind me that the super Bowl is this Sunday,

994
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 2: So I am not flying through the super Bowl. But

995
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 2: the executive order that President Trump is going to be signing,

996
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 2: I believe imminently right in the next hour or so

997
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 2: is it's scheduled. So President Trump is going to be

998
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 2: signing an executive order dealing with banning transgender athletes from

999
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 2: women's sports. What are the mechanisms of enforcement on this

1000
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,760
Speaker 2: and how did the President come to this as something

1001
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 2: he's hitting right away in the first thirty days.

1002
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the President has been very vocal and persistent

1003
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 4: about his goal to end the participation of biological men

1004
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 4: and women's sports. And I can't even believe I have

1005
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 4: to say that out loud. That's what this country has

1006
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 4: come to, and I think it's a big reason the

1007
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 4: American people re elected President Trump. So here we are today.

1008
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 4: He is going to be signing THISEO around three o'clock

1009
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 4: PM Eastern time. There will be tens of amazing, incredible athletes,

1010
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 4: female athletes, accomplished individuals, Riley Gaines, who I know, you

1011
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 4: guys know very well Stage Steele, who participated in my

1012
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 4: briefing today. And the President's executive order will uphold the

1013
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 4: promise of Title nine and it will require the Department

1014
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 4: of Justice to basically reverse the policies of the previous administration.

1015
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 4: What was happening was byen administration was essentially subverting Title

1016
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 4: mind and basically breaking the law with their illegal rewrite

1017
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 4: of the law that focused on gender identity instead of

1018
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 4: biological sex. And so the President signed an executive order

1019
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 4: previously last week that says that it's the official policy

1020
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,240
Speaker 4: of the United States government that there are only two sexes,

1021
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 4: male and female. And so, you know, he's made it

1022
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 4: very clear that's the position now of this government, and

1023
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 4: he's going to direct the Department of Justice to ensure

1024
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 4: that all schools are abiding by this new law.

1025
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 2: You know, Caroline, I think it's so important, it's so

1026
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 2: obviously the right thing to do, and it's also remarkable

1027
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 2: that they're still opposition to this. So that's so widespread

1028
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 2: among Democrats in the media and even Democrats in Congress

1029
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 2: that they still seem to cling to this idea that

1030
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: you know, a man can become a woman and therefore

1031
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 2: should compete in women's athletics. It strikes me is insane.

1032
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 2: I'm glad today's International Women's Sports Day too, right, So

1033
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 2: there's some symbolism, is yeah, yeah, some symbolism behind this.

1034
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 2: So I think Trump is doing at President Trump's doing

1035
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: absolutely the right thing. Something that I did not know,

1036
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 2: which I think is when it comes to the Shenanigans

1037
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 2: of the left, Caroline, and that is something I rarely

1038
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 2: say on this show, but I have to say something

1039
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 2: I did not know was the funding that we are discovering.

1040
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 2: I know you addressed this just before in the press

1041
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 2: conference with regard to Politico, but now Elon Musk of

1042
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 2: DOGE has also shared that The New York Times has

1043
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 2: gotten tens of millions of dollars paid to it from

1044
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 2: federal government agencies. What is going on here?

1045
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a very good question, and that's exactly why

1046
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 4: the president has hired Elon Musk. Not hired because he's

1047
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 4: working voluntarily and donating his time to serve at the

1048
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 4: request of the president, but as tasked, Elon Musk was

1049
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 4: figuring out what is going on with our federal government

1050
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 4: and we are DOGE and the President's team are going

1051
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 4: line by line throughout these federal agencies and realizing the

1052
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 4: federal government has been wasting money. There is so much

1053
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 4: fraud and waste in a and we are just getting started.

1054
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 4: So subscriptions as services and essentially subsidizing these very left

1055
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 4: wing media outlets in this country is just one thing

1056
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 4: on the list. I mean, I held up the paper

1057
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 4: today of all the crazy things that USAID has been

1058
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 4: spending money on millions of dollars towards LGBTQ priorities in

1059
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 4: foreign countries. I mean, that's not not aligned with the

1060
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 4: priorities the needs of the American people. And that's exactly

1061
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 4: why Elon Musk and the President are moving forward with

1062
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 4: this effort to ensure that the federal government is running

1063
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 4: itself like a company and focusing on money in, money out,

1064
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 4: and what do we actually need to spend money on.

1065
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 4: And so it's very exciting to see all of the

1066
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 4: crazy things that DOGE is revealing every single day and

1067
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 4: enlightening the American people about where their tax dollars are going.

1068
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 2: My understanding is that they're now looking caroline at the

1069
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 2: payments made to Medicare, which has always been This is

1070
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 2: amazing and kind of jaw dropping when you hear it

1071
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: a place that there's just been the assumption billions, tens

1072
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 2: of billions, perhaps even one hundred billion plus of annual

1073
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 2: fraud occurs. Is if the administration's expectation that what we're

1074
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: seeing in terms of not just kind of bizarre partisan spending,

1075
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 2: but fraudulent spending from years past, and the federal government

1076
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 2: is going to be we're just seeing the tip of

1077
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 2: the iceberg. We're going to find a lot more.

1078
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 4: Oh most definitely. I mean, look again, they've just scratching

1079
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 4: the surface and are already finding million, tens of millions

1080
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 4: of dollars in wasteful spending. You know, we also the

1081
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 4: President and this team also offered the federal buyout program

1082
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 4: to federal workers who are not actually showing up to work.

1083
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 4: They have been working from homes. Only six percent of

1084
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 4: the federal workforce actually shows up to the White House.

1085
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 4: If that's unbelievable. Most Americans, who, by the way, fund

1086
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 4: the salaries of bureaucrafts and mint City have to show

1087
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 4: up to the office. And I think it's a very

1088
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 4: simple common sense expectation to think federal government workers should

1089
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 4: do the same. So we offered an eight month buyout,

1090
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 4: and more than forty thousand people have taken us up

1091
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 4: on the offer to just hang out at home get

1092
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 4: eight paid months of leave. And I think we're going

1093
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 4: to have We're already seeing tremendous savings from this buyout

1094
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 4: program for the American people, and we're going to have

1095
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 4: a much more efficient workforce as a result as well.

1096
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: Is there a plan we've seen reporting? We're speaking to

1097
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt, White House Press Secretary, fresh off of just

1098
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 2: doing a briefing in the West Wing. She's kind enough

1099
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: to join us here on Clay and Buck. Is there

1100
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 2: a plan to further cut the size of these federal

1101
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 2: agencies involuntarily? And I asked because, and having worked at

1102
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 2: the CIA, Carolina, I remember some of the rules and

1103
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 2: regulations around this. There seems to be a widespread belief

1104
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 2: that civil servants without you know, criminal malfeasans cannot be fired.

1105
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 2: What what can you tell us about what the administration's

1106
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 2: view of that is and and the sense that they

1107
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 2: can just sort of wait it out.

1108
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 4: Well, that's one of the reasons we have offered this

1109
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 4: buyout program, because it is of again, a voluntary program.

1110
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 4: For workers who don't want to get on board with

1111
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 4: this president's agenda which he was just duly elected to implement,

1112
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 4: who don't want to be productive workers and show up

1113
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 4: to the office, Well then they get this offer of

1114
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 4: eight months you know pay, and you know, the administration

1115
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 4: will continue to look at legal options for you know,

1116
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 4: terminating individuals, but for now, you know, they're again being

1117
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:56,479
Speaker 4: offered very generous sums to go home if they wish.

1118
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: Wow. So there is there's possitive the possibility down the

1119
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 2: line though of of involuntary departures from federal service. So

1120
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 2: we'll continue to watch and see how that plays out.

1121
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 2: How is the I'm really curious about this. You know,

1122
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 2: I knew your a predecessor, I know you do too

1123
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 2: from the Trump administration, Kelly MCANENNI and saw what she

1124
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 2: dealt with. It feels like the manners from some in

1125
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 2: the press corps or maybe uh improving, perhaps they're a

1126
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 2: little less hostile than they What would just just bring

1127
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 2: us into the feel that you have from doing this

1128
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: now a couple of weeks in and dealing with the

1129
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 2: press day in and day out, because we're in a

1130
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 2: very different media environment now than we were even certainly

1131
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 2: at the start of the Biden administration.

1132
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 9: You know, I will.

1133
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 4: Say that they are very respectful. They're almost subdued, I

1134
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 4: would say, and I'm not sure if there's just so

1135
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 4: much news happening out of this White House every day

1136
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 4: that they don't they can't keep up.

1137
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 9: You know.

1138
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 4: They've certainly expressed off the record to me and our

1139
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 4: team that the pace of this White House is drastically

1140
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 4: different than in the past four years. I mean, doesn't

1141
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 4: take a genius to recognize that. Just look at everything

1142
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 4: we're doing every day. So me perhaps that's discouraged them

1143
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 4: a little bit. They can't help they can't stand all

1144
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 4: of the winning that we are doing every day here

1145
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 4: at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. But look, I think you know,

1146
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 4: we've opened up this this briefing room to new media members.

1147
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 4: We have really proven that this president is the most

1148
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 4: transparent and accessible president ever and he takes questions from

1149
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 4: them almost every day. And it's a stark contrast to

1150
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 4: what they experienced in the last four years, where you had,

1151
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 4: you know, a spokeswoman who was going out there and

1152
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 4: lying to their faces, and you had a president who

1153
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 4: hardly spoke to them, So now all of that has

1154
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 4: changed very quickly, and I think even if they don't

1155
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 4: like Donald Trump, they will admit that he is incredibly transparent,

1156
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 4: accessible and honest, and so maybe that's why they're being

1157
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 4: definitely more chill, I would say this time around me

1158
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 4: in the first four.

1159
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 2: Years, Clay and I are both duly impressed but not

1160
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 2: surprised by how well you've leapt into this role at

1161
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 2: the start of the administration as White House Press Secretary.

1162
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 2: So congrats on what you and the administration and President

1163
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 2: Trump have accomplished so far. I know this audience is

1164
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 2: incredibly supportive and fired up about what is coming and

1165
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 2: the full agenda being implemented, and we appreciate you making

1166
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 2: the time for us and hope you'll come back soon.

1167
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 2: Clay wants you to come back soon so he can

1168
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 2: talk to you, so he's bummed, but he'll be back

1169
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 2: next time.

1170
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 4: Well, thank you guys so much. We love what you're doing,

1171
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 4: and hopefully we'll see you soon in the briefing room someday.

1172
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 4: You're always well.

1173
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 2: Oh, Clay and I already just thinking about when we're

1174
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 2: gonna put it on the calendar. We're going to come

1175
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 2: and hang out. It's going to be fantastic. We'll have

1176
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 2: some good news that day. Thank you so much, Caroline Better,

1177
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you. If there was a Camquarder in

1178
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 2: your family's history, then there's likely a bunch of videotapes

1179
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 2: that are stored away someplace. Think of all the memories

1180
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,919
Speaker 2: contained on those tapes. If you know where they are,

1181
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 2: grab them and send them a Legacy Box so they

1182
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 2: can be digitized. When you digitally transfer your memories onto

1183
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 2: digital files, you're preserving those moments forever, not just for you,

1184
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,479
Speaker 2: but for future generations. Think about that for a minute,

1185
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 2: and how digitally savvy the youngest generations are. When those

1186
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 2: generations in your family decide to go looking for your

1187
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 2: family history, they'll be able to easily access them because

1188
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 2: you made it all happen with Legacy Box. Over last decade,

1189
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,479
Speaker 2: ready for this, more than a million and a half

1190
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 2: families have sent their videotapes and other old media to

1191
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 2: Legacy Box. Those digital files are put in the Legacy

1192
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 2: Box Cloud, where you and everyone you authorize can easily

1193
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: get access to them. Don't put this project off any longer.

1194
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 2: You'll be amazed at how easy Legacy Box makes this

1195
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 2: for you. I've done it. Clay's done it, Time for
