1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back in and play Travis buck Sexton Show Final

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Hour of the week. We are excited to have spent

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: fourteen hours with you. Fifteenth hour here up and running.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Want to give you an update on the announcement that

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: President Trump made this morning, as it pertains the Department

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: of Education. For at least the generation, maybe longer, people

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: have been saying Republicans have that they will shut down

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: the Department of Education. Well, guess what promise has made.

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Promise is kept. Trump has actually done that. We'll play

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: that for you, But I also want to set the

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: table for why Democrat popularity is collapsing. Their hypocrisy has

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: finally reached such a level that many people who are

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Democrats can no longer defend them, including Randy Weiningarden, the

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: head of the teachers' unions, and also Gavin Newsom, who

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: tried to get attention recently for attacking men involved in

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: women's sports and all so for saying that he didn't

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: understand why people use the word latin x. CNN actually

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: went back and they've got some receipts.

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for my boy Gavin.

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: We will get into that in a moment, but first

21
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: let's start with the news that came down about eleven

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: am Eastern Trump ending the Department of Education.

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: Here's what that sounded like.

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: This sounds strange, doesn't it. Department of Education. We're going

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: to eliminate it, and everybody knows it's right, and the

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 3: Democrats know it's right, and I hope they're going to

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: be voting for it because ultimately it may come before them,

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: but everybody knows it's right. Then we have to get

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: our children educated. We're not doing well with the world

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: of education in this country, and we haven't for a

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: long time. And we're pleased to be joined today by

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: the woman who I chose because she is an extraordinary

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: person and hopefully she will be our last Secretary of Education,

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: Linda McMahon. Then thank you, Thank you very much.

35
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So that is the announcement about the Department of Education.

36
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Immediately thereafter Randy Winegarden, who I think maybe the most

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: frankly unlikable person in all of left wing politics because

38
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: of what shit I really did.

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: Pretty bold? Can I just say that's pretty bold? I

40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: like where your head's at. I don't disagree, but wow,

41
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: number one in all left wing politics. You put her

42
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: ahead of Fauci.

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: I do because, well, Fauci, technically.

44
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, she is more explicitly political in theory, Fauci.

46
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: If COVID doesn't happens, nobody knows about him at all.

47
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Whereas I think most of what Randy Winegarden has done

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: in her career is awful.

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think Randy Winegarden has been

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: making everything worse for kids going on forty years now

51
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: or something like that. So you know, yeah, okay, I'm

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: with and.

53
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: Just a blatant liar. And we have her here saying

54
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: you know now, she's saying, buck oh, I didn't ever

55
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: want to.

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: Keep schools closed.

57
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to be schools to be back open in April.

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: And I just want to play how blatant those lies are.

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: She says.

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: The idea we wanted schools closed is quote a Republican

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: talking point.

62
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: That's what she's saying right now. Listen to cut fourteen.

63
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 4: COVID was a terrible time for us, and as you know,

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: because I was on your show a lot and other shows,

65
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 4: I wanted schools to be reopen as early as April

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty. The issue was the fear, and the

67
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: issue was the safety issues. But COVID has really hurt

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: in so many ways. But this has been a Republican

69
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: talking point for a long time.

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: Okay, she did not buck want schools reopened in April

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. In fact, she did everything she could

72
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: to keep them closed, and we've got some receipts. Here

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: is what Randy Weingarten insisting that schools remain closed cut fifteen.

74
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 5: If people are at high risk, they shouldn't be in school,

75
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: They should be doing things remotely. Just because Donald Trump

76
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: wants to take a risk with people who go to

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 5: bars or beaches, those of us who have spent our

78
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 5: life teaching kids are not going to take a risk

79
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 5: with kids or with our members' lives.

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: Remote and hybrid are really the only two ways you

81
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 4: can reopen schools safely.

82
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 5: We got at the Lady's School opening because if you

83
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: don't have the mask, how are you going to be

84
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 5: able to do this.

85
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: There's this huge.

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: Difference between working and Walmart and working a school. Miami

87
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: schools did not reopen because you had people who were

88
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: courageous and who were willing to divide to santosis denials.

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: I mean, she is loathsome, truly a loathsome person.

90
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: Yes, I had a email or send me an email

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: this morning and I was reading it. Not the one

92
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: that wanted me to die and hope that I choked

93
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: to death meeting with tr today, but another one who

94
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: is nicer. And she said her daughter in Illinois shut

95
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: down in March, didn't get to go back in the

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 1: Chicago area to school and was trying to find things

97
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: to do. Worked at a grocery store, seventeen year old girl.

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: And she said she would get so frustrated buck because

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: sometimes her teachers, who said it wasn't safe for them

100
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: to be in the school, would show up at the

101
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: grocery store she was working in, walking around shopping in

102
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: the middle of the day when otherwise they would.

103
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: Have been teaching school. Well, that was the whole game,

104
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: was that they the teachers' unions, flex their muscle at

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: a time when they could get away with it so

106
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: that people could have extended fully paid vacation and call

107
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: themselves heroes. Yes, and now I know that there may

108
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: be people who think that that's harsh. They're wrong. This

109
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: is the truth. That is why the teachers' unions did it.

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 2: Teachers are overwhelmingly in their twenties and thirties. By the way,

111
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: this is not a I know there are older teachers,

112
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: Please don't and say I'm eighty nine and I still teach.

113
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: I get it. But generally speaking, the people who are

114
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 2: covered under the teachers' unions are going to probably have

115
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: an average age in their early thirties, and the idea

116
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: that they were under too much risk to go back

117
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: to school. It was clear. Look, I had wished that

118
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: Trump had actually gone even more heavily. Now he let

119
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: the states do it. I understand there were some there

120
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: was a bit of a freedom component to this right

121
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: freedom of the states to make their own decisions. But

122
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: Fallow twenty twenty, if you weren't in favor of full

123
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: school reopened, you were either a liar or didn't know

124
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: what the heck you were talking about. That's the truth.

125
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: And with Randy Wingarden, the whole game was, well, I

126
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: want the schools to be opened, but we need to

127
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: have like special filtration systems and six feet of distancing.

128
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: Remember there was that meeting, and hatsip Carol Markowitz for

129
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: pointing this out from McLean Buck Network on Twitter last night.

130
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: There was that meeting where they were going to reduce

131
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: the completely arbitrary and absolutely pointless six foot distancing rule

132
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: to three feet because then you could actually fit the

133
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: kids in them. Again, Randy met with the Democrats and

134
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: they said, no, we're not going to reopen. Remember, I

135
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: know all of this gets forgotten and it's been five years,

136
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: but remember, and I might not get their phrase right.

137
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: The American Association of Pediatric Doctors or whatever it's called.

138
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: In June of twenty twenty, buck they came out and

139
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: said schools need to reopen in the fall everywhere, and

140
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: they got so much criticism. The pediatricians, yes, they flipped

141
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: their recommendation. Generally speaking, all of these professional associations have

142
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: become professional collectives, have become run by commissars. Now, yes,

143
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: whether it's the American Bar Association, you know, Pediatric Association,

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: American Psychiatric So you go all these associations because who

145
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: wants to be involved in that stuff? Communists And that's

146
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: what ends up happening.

147
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: And the results are now in that the students who

148
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: were able to go to school in person, including fortunately

149
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: my own kids who were in school in August of

150
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, in public schools in Williamson County, Tennessee. Next

151
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: door Davidson County, Tennessee, which is Nashville, where I grew

152
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: up and went to K through twelve public schools they

153
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: didn't open for months and months more into the future.

154
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they are open till March of twenty

155
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: to one. A lot of kids didn't go back if

156
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: you were a junior. A lot of kids in New York, California, Illinois,

157
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: and many other big city metro regions they left school

158
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: in March. Buck they did not go back. If you

159
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: were a junior, you never returned to school. Clay, if

160
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: you were in private my recollections, if you're in private

161
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: school in New York City or parochial school which is

162
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: affiliated with the Catholic Church, they were back for in

163
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: person learning many many months.

164
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Before the public schools. Well yeah, and that's purely a

165
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: function of the power of the teachers' unions which pretend

166
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: to care about kids, and then every action they take

167
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: is just to prevent accountability and increase benefits for adults,

168
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: that's actually and make sure Democrats get elected the system,

169
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: so the self licking ice cream cone continues to lick itself.

170
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: That is the whole game. They do not care about children.

171
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: The unions I'm talking about, There are good teachers everywhere.

172
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: Don't send me your angry emails the teachers' union. First

173
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: of all, public sector union should be abolished across the board.

174
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: We do not need to have public sector unions. People say, oh,

175
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: what about police and firemen. We can just have a

176
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: good contract for police and firemen for where they are.

177
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: You actually don't need to have any public sector unions.

178
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: I think it's inherently a problem, but that's a whole

179
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: other conversation.

180
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to play this because while we talked about

181
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Elon earlier in the Tesla's being attacked and all of

182
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: the craziness going on, they're associated with Doge, they also

183
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Twitter and X and the ability to point out blatant

184
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: hypocrisy like I just did with the Randy Wingarden clip.

185
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: We talked about Gavin Newsom saying, oh, it's completely unfair,

186
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: I think, or close to that phrase about men and

187
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: women's sports. He also, in that same conversation said he

188
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: didn't under stand why anybody would use the phrase LATINX.

189
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: He thought it was ridiculous. CNN actually doing some real

190
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: journalism went back, and they determined. Gavin Newsom has used

191
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: the phrase LATINX in a lot of public settings, despite

192
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: claiming that he banned it and asking why in the

193
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: world anyone ever claimed that they would use it. Here

194
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: is Gavin Newsom, like 'rany Weiningarten, getting hoisted on his

195
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: own petard. The hypocrisy is tough to escape.

196
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 6: I hope we can really paint a picture in terms

197
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 6: of our consciousness of how impactful this has been on

198
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 6: the LATINX community. LATINX community, the LATINX and black communities

199
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 6: got politicians that are banning not assault rifles, but the

200
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 6: word LATINX.

201
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 7: They're not even serious.

202
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: Oh, this is why I don't think that Gavin Newsom

203
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: is actually viable buck because he's just such an inveterate liar.

204
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: Correct. And I think that also he does not and

205
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: will not play well with the Midwest and Purple states

206
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 2: that you would need to be a viable presidential contender.

207
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: He brings nothing good to that conversation for them. I

208
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: think he comes across like a slick Hollywood liberal who

209
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: nobody really believes and nobody can put any faith in.

210
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: And so I don't see that at all. The Democrat

211
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: here's the thing the Democrats, the reason they're scrambling so

212
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: much right now, Clay, The Democrats are looking for somebody

213
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: who the base knows will do whatever they want once

214
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: they get into power, but can pretend to not be

215
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: insane long enough to win an election and fool enough

216
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: people in the middle. That was actually what Biden's value was.

217
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: And it's not because he's truly a moderate. It's because

218
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: he's so old and grandfatherly and the whole thing, and

219
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: they could create this mythology around him and anybody who

220
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: disagrees with this. Barack Obama ran on traditional marriage, ran

221
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: on secure borders, ran on and then gets into office

222
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: and is a communist. But point is, this is what

223
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: they do, right They need someone who can fake to

224
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: the center and keep the left happy because they know

225
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: the real game the whole time. Gavin Newsom is just

226
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: a leftist. No one believes this guy has a moderate

227
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: bone in his body.

228
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: This is why I actually think they're going to end

229
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: up with a nominee who's not a politician. I think

230
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: they're going to try to find their version of Trump

231
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: who doesn't have a long record of having said the

232
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: opposite of what he claims to run on and I'm

233
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: not sure who that person is, but I think there's

234
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of billionaires in the wake of

235
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: Trump who decide that they also want to run. And

236
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: I don't know who's again, I don't know who it's

237
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: going to be, but I think somebody's gonna come out

238
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: of nowhere in the Democrat side and try to fight

239
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: their way to the nomination. Okay, I want to tell

240
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: you by the way, I'm about to leave. I've got

241
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: to go get on good excuse. I've got to go

242
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: through security clearance to get on Air Force one to

243
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: fly with President Trump this weekend to go watch the

244
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: NCAA Wrestling Championships. I'm going to be sitting with him

245
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: Matt's side on Saturday night, which will probably put ESPN

246
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: into a really tough spot because are they going to

247
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: show me alongside of Trump or not.

248
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: I'm excited about that.

249
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna set up a date for Trump to come

250
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: back and be visiting with us on the radio in

251
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: the near future. All that still to come, but tensions

252
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: are high in Israel as IDF forces enter the Gaza

253
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Strip seek the release of the remaining hostages. Just in

254
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: the last day, Hamas attempted to fire multiple rockets into

255
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: israel cities. It's a tenuous time in the Holy Land.

00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: out here solo for the last half hour so of

276
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: the show because Clay had to run to get on

277
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: Air Force one. I'm gonna have a great time with

278
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: Trump at the NCAA Wrestling Championship, which I was not

279
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: aware that was going on. But I am learning something

280
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: new every day about sports. On the show, we will

281
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: also get to our friend Ned Ryan here in a

282
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: moment about a new documentary that he's got out that's

283
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: really interesting, but I wanted to play this. Joe Borelli

284
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: is a friend of the show. I've been a friend

285
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: of mine now for gosh, I don't know over a decade.

286
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: Staten Island City councilman and knows New York City politics

287
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: very well, but he goes on CNN and he mixes

288
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: it up as only a Staten Island guy. Ken. You know,

289
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: he doesn't take any guff, any nonsense, and he was

290
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: with he had an exchange with former DNC spokesperson Hulk.

291
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how to say that. I'm pretty good

292
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: with this stuff, but x O c h I t

293
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: l hokeitoke. I don't knowho Hosa that part I can

294
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: get and they had an exchange about this whole Elon

295
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: Moss getting defense secrets thing. This has cut five. Listen

296
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: to it.

297
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: I'm the crazy one at the table, but I'm actually

298
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: comfortable with someone who is incredibly effective at putting small

299
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: objects and large objects into orbit over China.

300
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 9: Are are you uncomfortable with potentially Elon mask showing these

301
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 9: plans or giving intelligence?

302
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 7: I am why.

303
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 9: That is why, as Abbie was saying pretty much, Abby

304
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 9: was saying, it's on a need to know basis?

305
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: Do you need to know basis?

306
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: Because only a handful of people have this information?

307
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 5: Not only that, I was a formal Justice Department official

308
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 5: up until two months ago, and I had a security clearance.

309
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: What I will tell you, did you let the woman.

310
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 7: I was talking here? You interrupted me?

311
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: Hey hear that? He's like, hey, you interrupted me. You

312
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: don't bring that into Joe Brelli's house. He was talking,

313
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: she interrupted him. That's the way that I've had that

314
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: happen to me before at CNN, where people say, don't

315
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: interrupt me when they've interrupted you. You know what I mean?

316
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: Crazy that happens. They love the libs love to do that,

317
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: and then they accuse you of mansplaining as she did there.

318
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: But this whole theory that we had Sean Parnell on before,

319
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: because just so you could hear it from the guy

320
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: whose job is to tell the people of America what's

321
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: happening at the Pentagon, Uh, that this is a total nonsense.

322
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: There was no special war with China briefing for Elon planned,

323
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: and Elon already has it, as I said, a top

324
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: secret compartment in clearance. So the government, the government gives

325
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: him a lot of faith. I mean, there's already he's

326
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: an American citizen, all right, So despite what the left

327
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: likes to say, now all of a sudden, oh he's

328
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: really a South Africa or we're playing that game now

329
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: the Democrats will notice, they'll play that game and assume

330
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: that we don't pay attention and don't see what's really

331
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: going on. But this is what they are left with

332
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: because they simply do not have any any worthwhile arguments

333
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: against what's really going on right now. And I just

334
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: think it's it's madness, honestly, and they're going to continue

335
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: to go down this pathway because it's all that they've got,

336
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: and I mean just making up attacks now, which is

337
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: what they did with Elon. But good for our buddy

338
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: Joe Borelli. You can't bring that into Staten Island's house.

339
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: That's not gonna fly.

Speaker 2: documentary out this week, American Leviathan, The Birth of the

363
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: Administrative State and Progressive Authoritarianism. Documentary is out on x

364
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 2: It's also posted for you to watch and enjoy at

365
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: Clayandbuck dot com. Mister Ned, great to have you, sir,

366
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: all right dive into this documentary. It's certainly timely given

367
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: the work of Trump and doge Elon and the whole team.

368
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, one of the reasons I wanted to

369
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 10: do it, Buck was it's a campanion to the book,

370
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 10: but to really show people and give them real clarity

371
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 10: on the fact that rule of the bureaucrats, as Elon

372
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 10: mentioned a few weeks ago, that's not a bug. That's

373
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 10: a feature that was always intended by progressives for the

374
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 10: last hundred years and has nothing to do with the

375
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 10: representative government, has nothing to do with our constitution republic.

376
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 10: And what I wanted to do is cover some of

377
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 10: the same themes in the book, but also have conversations

378
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 10: with senators and with congressmen and with other people that

379
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 10: have been in DC, inside the belly of Leviathan to

380
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 10: really discuss how DC works, and I think when people

381
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 10: watch the documentary, they're going to understand with real clarity

382
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 10: from the mouths of elected officials. Yeah, we don't really

383
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 10: actually do the governing in this town. We don't do

384
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 10: the real legislating. We passed these four and five thousand

385
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 10: page bills, we send them over to the unelected bureaucrats

386
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 10: in the Article two branch of our own volition sub

387
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 10: delegate legislative authority to them to let them, with their

388
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 10: statutes and regulations, do the real governing of this country.

389
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 7: And then to make.

390
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 10: Matters worse buck they're blindly funding these unelected, out of

391
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 10: control bureaucrats blindly and then not demanding any oversight, not

392
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 10: demanding accountability or transparency at all. And it's become one

393
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 10: of those things that I think it's pretty hard to

394
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 10: miss these days Washington's going on in DC. But I

395
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 10: hope that the American people get real clarity because it's

396
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 10: because of the.

397
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 7: American people awakening that they will.

398
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 10: Inspire Congress to actually do what they're supposed to do,

399
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 10: to actually legislate, and inspire the president who has unbelievable

400
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 10: amounts of moral and political courage to keep going on

401
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 10: the path that he's going on, and then to brace

402
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 10: the judges, which is of course a huge issue in

403
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 10: the present moment. So maybe just do their Article three

404
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 10: constitutional duty. Because the American people, I think, are going

405
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 10: to understand that administrative power is a revival of absolute

406
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 10: power and is a tremendous threat to their civil liberties,

407
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 10: tremendous threat to our future freedom and prosperity. So once

408
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 10: the American people wake up and understand what's going on

409
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 10: and then demand these things of their elected officials, I

410
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 10: think it's the beginning of in the beginning of the

411
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 10: end of administrative power.

412
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: How do we deal with the threshold that seems to

413
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: have been well, it has been artificially created by the

414
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: Congress itself that we have to get to sixty in

415
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: the Senate to get any real legislation through because of

416
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: the filibuster, because nett I just it feels like the

417
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: Democrats are the party of the administrative state. They have

418
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: seeded the administrative state with their ideologues all and we

419
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: haven't even talked about the judges yet, But the administrative

420
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: state with all these ideologues, and so the Democrat Party

421
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: is just not going to no matter how outrageous the

422
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: spending is at these places, no matter how useless they are,

423
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: They're not going to come along with us, Right, So

424
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: what do we do about that?

425
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 10: Well, well, I would say I'd probably come from a

426
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 10: little bit different angle buck, because we already know Democrats

427
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 10: are lost cause. The problem being, and the problem that

428
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 10: has been for decades in DC, is that too many

429
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 10: Republicans have gone along with it. They've accepted the premise

430
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 10: that somehow this administrative state is a legitimate form of

431
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 10: government and that they should continue to fund it and

432
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 10: cede their control to these unelected bureaucrats. So, while I

433
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 10: understand that the problem is Democrats in many ways, I

434
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 10: would argue that in many ways it's been the Republicans

435
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 10: in Congress who have been I don't want to say

436
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 10: that Congress has been the villain of the twentieth century,

437
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 10: but in many ways we have an administrative state and

438
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 10: the unelected bureaucrats and out of control spending, and I

439
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 10: would argue again abuse of our civil liberties and authoritarianism

440
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 10: because Congress has, of its own volition, ceated its control

441
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 10: and that's not just Democrats, it's Republicans.

442
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 7: And so I would say the first step.

443
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 10: In getting us to the right place is for Republicans

444
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 10: across the board to go, Yeah, administrative state is deeply unconstitutional,

445
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 10: it's deeply un American.

446
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 7: We are going to demand.

447
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 10: That we get back our sub delegated legislative authority and

448
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 10: actually do the governing, actually do the legislating instead of

449
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 10: really really passing the buck to these unelected bureaucrafts to

450
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 10: avoid making hard decisions. So let's get Republicans on the

451
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 10: same page and then we can discuss how we're going

452
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 10: to dismantle the Democratic Party moving forward.

453
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: Or with Ned Ryan, founder and CEO of American Majority.

454
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: He's got a new documentary out, American Leviathan, which you

455
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: can watch on X that is posted on X also

456
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: at clanbuck dot com. The judiciary as the protector of

457
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 2: the administrative state, this is one of the biggest and

458
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, I know you were ready for this. All

459
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: the veterans of Trump's first term, everybody who was in

460
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 2: that fight remembers the hashtag resistance judges, and unfortunately they

461
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: were there. They're successful even when they lose, right, Ned,

462
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: because if they drag it out and they burn time

463
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: off the clock. They're getting some of what they want,

464
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: even if the Supreme Court takes it up and strikes

465
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: them down, as has happened many times in the past.

466
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: So what's the best strategy for this? What can be

467
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 2: done so that they aren't able to run out the

468
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: clock on the efforts to rein in the administrative state.

469
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 7: So you're absolutely correct. I mean, this is a continuance

470
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 7: of law.

471
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 10: Fair sadly by the Article three judicial brands the lower

472
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 10: level judges to prevent Trump from actually implementing his agenda,

473
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 10: and they are acting as a protector of the administrative state.

474
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 10: So a couple of things. You know, I hope that

475
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 10: Donald Trump, and you can see this coming out of

476
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 10: his doj that he is going to obviously fight back

477
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 10: as quickly as possible. I kind of like him to

478
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 10: basically channel Andrew Jackson. Obviously that apocryphal story, but it's

479
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 10: kind of the feeling the spirit that I want Trump

480
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 10: to have. You've made your decisions, now try and forcing

481
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 10: them because the Article three. What's going happening right now,

482
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 10: book is these lower level judges are oversetting the constitutional

483
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 10: bound and trying to dictate to the head of the

484
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 10: Article two branch, what is his constitutional right and authority,

485
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 10: whether it's on foreign policy or domestic policy, or who

486
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 10: he can hire, what he can do with the various

487
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 10: departments and agencies that are under him inside the Article

488
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 10: two branch. And so he's got to tell he essentially

489
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 10: has to tell them that's great, I'm going to continue

490
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 10: down this path. It would be nice if Congress actually

491
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 10: stepped up to the plate. I think impeaching judges would

492
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 10: be a little too far for most of those people

493
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 10: in Congress because they're not exactly profiles and courage. But

494
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 10: I would argue, if they could find some small sliver

495
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 10: of political courage, why don't we think about defunding the

496
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 10: lower courts, because that's Congress's constitutional right to do that.

497
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 10: But I think ultimately, in the short term, you know,

498
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 10: John Roberts is actually going to find have to find

499
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 10: it within himself to go hey, for the sake of

500
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 10: the legitimacy of the Article three judicial branch, the Supreme

501
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 10: Court is going to have to step in and put

502
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 10: in some pretty strong guardrails and say you can't do this,

503
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 10: you're overstepping your constitutional bounds. And to be honest, boock.

504
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 10: I think John Roberts doing that. It's probably fifty fifth.

505
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 10: So I think we're going to.

506
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 7: We're in for a couple interesting weeks and months ahead.

507
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 10: But I think Donald Trump is making it very clear

508
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 10: in the last couple of days he's not going to

509
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 10: let them prevent him implementing the will of the American people.

510
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 10: I mean, he was elected to enact a very specific

511
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 10: agenda that was painted out in bold, bright colors last fall,

512
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 10: and these judges are attempting to defy the will of

513
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 10: the people as being implemented through Donald Trump's agenda. So

514
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 10: I think Trump's going to be pretty aggressive on this,

515
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 10: but it would be nice if John Roberts stepped up

516
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 10: to the plate.

517
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 7: But I have my doubts.

518
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: Where do you think the state of progressive authoritarianism is

519
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 2: right now? Because it certainly is the case that the

520
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: Democrat Party is in a rough spot, which is great,

521
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: very exciting, probably the roughest spot it's been in a

522
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: long time, which is a lovely thing. But the ideology

523
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: that they have and the machinery that they have to

524
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: push it, I mean, obviously the administrative state is a

525
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: huge part of it. Do you feel like this is

526
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: the first opening we have to do real damage to them.

527
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: Do you worry that if we don't get it done,

528
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: they'll just come come right back and do the same stuff.

529
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you view it from from the

530
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 2: side of the opposition here? I mean, are where do

531
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: you think they fall in this whole situation?

532
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 10: Well, I think you can see from their behavior they

533
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 10: realize this is an existential threat.

534
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 7: I mean, politics is the religion book.

535
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 10: I mean, the administrative state is their holy of holies,

536
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 10: their vehicle for salvation. Politics is the religion. And when

537
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 10: they look at Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they see

538
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 10: them as existential threats to those things that they hold

539
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 10: so valuable and that really has been is the undergirding

540
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 10: for their entire movement.

541
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 7: So I know that they view this as an.

542
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 10: Existential threat to the continuance of their movement, to the

543
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 10: continuance of the progressive administrative state. And so I don't

544
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 10: think it Just to be clear, I don't think you're

545
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 10: going to see any dialing back of the violence or

546
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 10: the rhetoric, because we know that Trump arrangements syndrome is

547
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 10: an incurable disease, and I think Elon must arrangement syndrome

548
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 10: is an incurable disease, and the only way I think

549
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 10: you see it stop is where there to be serious

550
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 10: legal consequences, which you can start to see rumblings of

551
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 10: that coming out of the Trump administration.

552
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 7: But they are in disarray.

553
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 10: And the thing that I'm trying to figure out, book,

554
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 10: are there any rational Democrats left inside the party? Because

555
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 10: the progressive movement has eaten it from within. They are

556
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 10: the Democratic Party, the progressive movement is is there any

557
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 10: ability for a rational democrat to be able to stand

558
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 10: in them and go, hey, we are going in the

559
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 10: absolute wrong path. We need to pivot out of this.

560
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 10: I suspect they won't be able to not in the

561
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 10: near term. I think this is something where the black

562
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 10: hole of progressive ideology is completely sucking in whatever vestiges

563
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 10: of rational thought might be left inside the Democratic Party

564
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 10: and moving towards kind of an annihilation. But that that,

565
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 10: to me, is a very good thing book, because I

566
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 10: think the only way you get back to a sense,

567
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 10: a real sense of normalcy in this country is for

568
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 10: the left to be beaten into unconditional surrender and never

569
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 10: be allowed near political power again. As you start to

570
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 10: destroy these various institutions, like the indoctrination centers, like the

571
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 10: administrative state, going after the corporate propagandists, because for the

572
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 10: sake of the future of our country and prosperity and

573
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 10: freedom and happiness, the progressive movement writ large has to

574
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 10: be either shoved so far into the corner that it's

575
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 10: a minimal voice in our society, or it ceases to exist.

576
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: I always make the case ned that the good news

577
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: about this is nobody should feel like if we were

578
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: to crush the administrative state, if Trump elon Doje, maybe

579
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: even the Republican Party writ large were to mobilize and

580
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: really make major progress on this mission and for this initiative,

581
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: the people that are crying and all the gnashing of

582
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: teeth and all the all were subject it. Actually it

583
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 2: will be better for them too. This is what this is.

584
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: Everybody wins. Yeah, they not realize it, but America will

585
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: be a more prosperous, freer, and better place if we

586
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: don't have this nonsensical leviathan. As your documentary is titled

587
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: American Leviathan, trampling on our rights and just our day

588
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: to day all the time.

589
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 10: It is something. So you bring up something I think

590
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 10: is pretty interesting, Buck. I mean, I'm just thinking I've

591
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 10: been thinking about and I said some things public All right,

592
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 10: I'll say it again here. You know, Elon and Doe

593
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 10: started as we're going to go after waste fraud abuse,

594
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 10: and then he realizes in this journey of his you

595
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 10: can kind of see this epiphany of Elon along the way, Wait,

596
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 10: we have the rule of bureaucrats. Well yeah, that was

597
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 10: always the point that progresses, and now we've gotten.

598
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 7: The point of it.

599
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 10: Really feels like the administrative state and the government writ

600
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 10: large has become a leftist money laundering slash slush fund

601
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 10: in which they're trying to advance their ideology and really

602
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 10: truly undermine this country. I mean a lot of stuff

603
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 10: that they're funding, I believe to be truly anti American

604
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 10: and very aggressively going after not only the country and

605
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 10: our foundational principles, but the American people's way of life.

606
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 10: And it will be for the best if we in

607
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 10: the administrative state. But I think we got to be

608
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 10: realistic about a Buck. I mean, this took one hundred

609
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 10: years to get to this point. When you think about

610
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 10: the founding of the administrative state. Really in the first

611
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 10: term of Woodrow Wilson. We're over one hundred years into

612
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 10: this disastrous experiment. We're not going to get out of overnight,

613
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 10: but it is going to require tremendous political courage, and

614
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 10: Donald Trump and Elon Musk have it in spades. We've

615
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 10: got to figure out how Congress somehow gets injected with

616
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 10: that courage as well to be able to do the

617
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 10: right things and actually say we're not going to allow

618
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 10: this anymore, and for the will of the American people, right,

619
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 10: We're not going to allow this unconstitutional, unrepresentative form of

682
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 11: match made and freedom and liberty for Krockett Coffee. If

683
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 11: you remember years a couple of years ago, during Governor

684
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 11: Whitmer's crackdown on us, there in COVID, Cafe Rosetta and

685
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 11: Callum Michigan stayed open, resisted all the draconian things you

686
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 11: want to do to us and taking away our freedoms

687
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 11: and liberties. They stayed open and served coffee and food

688
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 11: to the people of the beautiful Key and Up Peninsula

689
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 11: in the Up where Clay was talking about till he

690
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 11: left us to go talk to something more important. But

691
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 11: I think Crockett Coffee and Kafey or rosett would make

692
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 11: a match made in freedom and liberty Bucket it was

693
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 11: funny that Clay mentioned that, and that's where I'm calling from,

694
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 11: and I love what you guys are doing, and it

695
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 11: was just funny. I was telling you a copy year

696
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 11: there that it's kind of a kind of not a coincidence,

697
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 11: but like what you guys do and what they what

698
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 11: they do.

699
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, hopefully you were already a Crockett Coffee subscriber, Joel,

700
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: since you're bringing it up on your call, good Man.

701
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 7: Good have a good week.

702
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: Yes, I thought he was saying something, Okay, well, thank you, Joel.

703
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 2: We kind of lost it for a second. David in

704
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: Washington wants to speak to us. What's up, David?

705
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 12: Hey, yeah, say, I wanted to calling way in on

706
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 12: the developments of resolving the the Department of Education at

707
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 12: the federal level. I think this is a wonderful thing.

708
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 12: This is coming from me who four years ago, I

709
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 12: was a high school England teacher. And when you guys

710
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 12: talked about April twenty twenty, it was like lightning rod

711
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 12: to my brain because I remember it like it was yesterday.

712
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 12: Governor Insley, or Governor Insley out here in Washington. He

713
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 12: ended the school year in March. For the rest of

714
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 12: the year, and my heart just sank. I knew what

715
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 12: that meant. But we came back and at the next

716
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 12: fall wearing masks, and I ended up speaking out against

717
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 12: it and getting fired. I appealed, won the appeal on

718
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 12: free speech grounds, and promptly resigned and went back to

719
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 12: my previous career in real estate. And I couldn't be happier.

720
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 12: So just to say, like, teachers aren't a monolithic group.

721
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 12: I had so many friends and colleagues that said, man,

722
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 12: that's so great what you're doing. I wish I could

723
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 12: do something like that, but they had no other options.

724
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 12: So just to say, I think big ED in America

725
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 12: has become like a welfare program for kids and families.

726
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: And all right, my man, thank you. We're at the

727
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 2: end of the show. Thank you. Have a great weekend everyone,
