Speaker 1: what is going on in the world and you're not

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: looking for a super bias. Iheartradios app does a great

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: job of that as well. And we wanted to make

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: sure that we said it is the fourth anniversary of

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: a date that I know has been very hard for

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: many of you. Rush Limbaugh died four years ago today,

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: and we wanted to make sure that we honored his

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: memory thirty three years of radio excellence, the like of

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: which has never existed in American history. And there is

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: a longer form clip from Rush that is up in

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: our podcast channel for those of you who want to

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: hear it. But we did want to honor the legacy

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: the memory of the man behind the Golden microphone by

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: acknowledging this four year anniversary of his passing. This is

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: from January ninth of twenty twenty, Rush talking about Trump

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: versus the process oriented people of Washington, d C. A

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: conflict that is certainly continuing to play itself out.

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: In the present moment. Listen to this from five years ago.

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: The American people have gotten used to the snail's pace

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: of whatever objectives government or Washington has.

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Trump is not of that world.

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: Trump is a results oriented guy, and he's up against

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: a bunch process people. Now, if both parties are engaged

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: in process as part of a campaign and trying to

42
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 3: win the day on who's the better at process, then

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: you've got a dull, boring campaign here. But when you've

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: got somebody demonstrably able to get results up against process people.

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: The process people don't have a prayer, and that's what

46
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: they know.

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: That was Rush in the twenty twenty era. January of

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty more Rush Legacy Memory Up is a part

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: of the Clay and buck podcast network. We certainly want

50
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to acknowledge four years ago his passing and the tremendous

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: impact that he had in the world of this arena,

52
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: and that want to reiterate as we have done and

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: said for years, I can't believe Bucket's been almost four

54
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: years that you and I have been talking every single

55
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: day with this audience. We do not take it for granted.

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: We fell immense gratitude and privilege to be able to

57
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: continue to fight many of the battles that Rush fought,

58
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: and we appreciate the fact that so many of you

59
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: have continued to listen to us, and also that younger

60
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: people out there have continued to come into the fray

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: as Rush would have wanted the case to be. In fact,

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: I imagine that Rush boy would he be excited about

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: how many young people in particular are taking up the

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: American flag and advancing it behind the arguments that Trump

65
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: is winning with right now. He would be ecstatic to

66
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: see exactly what is happening. I'm sure he is watching

67
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: down and seeing it, but it is pretty incredible to

68
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: think about the legacy and its growth as Trump has

69
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: taken back in for two oh buck.

70
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: Yes, and so we are gratified and deeply honored to

71
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: be trying to continue on the fights that Rush engaged

72
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: in for decades. And we've got more up at clanbuck

73
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: dot com and also in the clan Buck podcast feed.

74
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 4: We've pulled together special kind of a just a memory

75
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: of Rush in podcast form on the four year passing,

76
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: So please go check that out in the clan Buck

77
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 4: podcast network.

78
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: So all of that certainly wanted to be on top

79
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: of we've been discussing the battle for free speech. I

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: wanted to play this cut for you, Buck because last

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: night was the fiftieth anniversary of Saturday Night Live and

82
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to watch it. I thought, Hey, you know what,

83
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: They've got a huge, incredible number of celebrities that are

84
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: coming out. Maybe they will put together a really well

85
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: done show. I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

86
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: I watched for about an hour and a half. I

87
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: turned to my wife, I said, I can't watch any

88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: more of this. Tell me if anything actually funny happens,

89
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: I'm going to go and read and be doing prep.

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: For this show.

91
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: I was reading, I think, catching up with the Wall

92
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Street Journal in the New York Times weekend editions. And

93
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: I did see, however, in the part that I was

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: watching this skit, which was Tom Hanks suddenly shows up

95
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: and he is a Trump supporter. He's wearing a Make

96
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: America Great Again hat, and you need to watch the

97
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: video because it was intentionally insulting to Trump voters.

98
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: But I would play that audio for you.

99
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live wonders why its ratings have collapsed and

100
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: it does not have the cultural cachet that it used to.

101
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: I would submit to you it's because they continue to

102
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: alienate over half of the country right now, listen, Oh well, thank.

103
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 5: You, hey, And I speaking to church. Can I say something?

104
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 5: If more folks went to church, we wouldn't be in

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: this mess wherein? Now?

106
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Would you do? I'd like

107
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: to shake your hands, sir. Here we go. No no, no,

108
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: oh no, no, it's just a handsh you welcome to.

109
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 5: Thank you my mind by brother. Now, maybe I'll start

110
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: a show for you to come on and we'll call

111
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: it what Jeopardy.

112
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: We don't need it.

113
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: We don't need it, Okay, so uh funny, mean and

114
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: mean spirited Clay. The original version of that sketch was

115
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: actually funny. It aired years ago, I don't know exactly when,

116
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: but they had Black Jeopardy was the was the you

117
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 4: know the title of the sketch. Tom Hanks was the

118
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: white guy, and there were a couple of other you know,

119
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: black snl It was I forget the guy who's what's

120
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 4: the guy who's the who's playing the host there? I

121
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: forget his name? And Keenan Thompson.

122
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Keenan Thompson, he's been on the show for like Adamore,

123
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: he've been there forever. So so he was on and

124
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: a couple of other black actors were on, and the

125
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: original one was actually funny because it wasn't mean spirited

126
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: and really what it was. You know, they asked some

127
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: you know those Black Jeopardy asked them questions and the

128
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: Trump supporter answer was something that the black community or

129
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: members of the black community on.

130
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: The stage also agreed with.

131
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: There was things like they would say, you know, what

132
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: happens if so and soon's the selection he goes. It

133
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: doesn't matter because the uniparty runs it anyway, and then

134
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: all the you know, the black contestants are like that's correct,

135
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 4: like you know, and it actually was meant to be funny.

136
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: I think for everyone. That was one of the more

137
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: That's what's so disappointing, that was one of the more

138
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 4: popular recent black recent SNL sketches Black Jeopardy, and so

139
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: to take it and then just do this kind of nasty,

140
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: punching down thing and make it seem like the guy

141
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: is clearly supposed to be a racist. I mean, that's

142
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: where you know, the yess was supposed to be a racist.

143
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: It's hard, it's hard to understand the mindset of some

144
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 4: of these people who are supposed to be comedians. At

145
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 4: this point, you've basically taken most of the major comedy

146
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: platforms that existed for you, you know, your life and

147
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: my life. I'm not talking about you know, new Netflix

148
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: specials and stuff. That's a new thing, right, And like

149
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: Naperghatsy's blown up everywhere. He's fantastic, and there's all these

150
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: new comedians who actually are funny. You are doing great stuff,

151
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: but you look at you know SNL, The Letterman Show,

152
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: the What's the The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, least

153
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: funny man that could have possible bear God forbid albar.

154
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: They've destroyed all of these legacy comedy platforms, including SNL.

155
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: SNL has been trash for the entirety of the Trump

156
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: era and really before that, but certainly for the last

157
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: ten years.

158
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: Just trash.

159
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 4: That's surprised you watch it, but good for you on

160
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: stomaching through some of it. Are stomaching some of it.

161
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: And it's just a shame because they even when the

162
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: market speaks to them, they don't change, they don't care.

163
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: And it's not only profoundly insulting. And let's also not

164
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: give Tom Hanks a pass here. Tom Hanks is supposed

165
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: to be this avuncular, incredibly likable everyman actor, and yet

166
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: he feels comfortable ridiculing every Trump supporter as a racist.

167
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: And this is actually the data.

168
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: This was the media doesn't want to tell you by

169
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: at large, certainly not in the legacy media.

170
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 2: But this is important.

171
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty four election was the least racially polarized

172
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: election in America since nineteen sixty four. White black Asian

173
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: Hispanic people have never voted more similarly than we did

174
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Trump has the least racially polarized

175
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: electoral majority since Linda Johnson in nineteen sixty four, pre

176
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: civil rights era votes. So, for most of you out

177
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: there that are listening to us right now, you have

178
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: never lived in a less racially polarized America than right now.

179
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: As it pertains the presidential election.

180
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 4: This is also when when the data, I think, speaks

181
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: so clearly on what happened versus what the narrative is.

182
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 4: The usage of You've seen this Elon actually a while ago,

183
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: I think, even before he owns Twitter X. I remember

184
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: him commenting on this that the explosion in the usage

185
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: of the terms racism, white supremacy, all this coincided with

186
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: Obama's election. The media, the media, all of a sudden,

187
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 4: New York Times goes from using white supremacy like once

188
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 4: a year because I've never even met a white supremacist,

189
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: never seen a white SUPREMACIYT never met a white supremacist,

190
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 4: I mean an actual white supremacist. And it goes from

191
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: you know, once a year they'll have some article till

192
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: like every day, I mean an absolute explosion clearly intentional

193
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 4: and to really use to manipulate the public and use

194
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: narratives about racism so that there couldn't be opposition to Obama.

195
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: Early on in the Obama administration, criticism of Obama, and

196
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: I mean I remember because I was one of those

197
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: people criticizing Obama was racist, and that was that they

198
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 4: were happy to just leave it at that. Oh you

199
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: don't like Obama? Hmm, I wonder why you know? They

200
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 4: would play that game a lot Clay. Things have changed now.

201
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,119
Speaker 4: People have seen that those who would use those tactics

202
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: are always arguing in bad faith and actually don't even

203
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: care what the government, what the results are from an administration.

204
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: They just want their team and they want to silence

205
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: the other team, kind of like the German people knocking.

206
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: On the doors.

207
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: It's also on an SNL front, incredibly lazy humor. To

208
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: your point, the pointing out that people who are look

209
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: different actually have many of the same opinions is actually

210
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: somewhat of a unique take, at least from a comedic perspective,

211
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: ie that Trump supporters and black voters back in twenty

212
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: fifteen actually overlapped on a lot of opinions, but they

213
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily vote like it. By twenty twenty four, you

214
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: are seeing Hispanic, Black, Asian and white voters I recognizing

215
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: that we actually have more in common than we do apart.

216
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: And this is where the real panic is setting in Buck.

217
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: Some of these Trump approval numbers are starting to be

218
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: eye opening, even to me. I saw Buck a plus

219
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: twelve Trump approval numbers coming out recently, and I think

220
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: that's because much of what he's doing is not partisan

221
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: in nature.

222
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 4: It's a lot of common sense. It's common sense. It's

223
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 4: sane versus insane, as we often talk about. I think

224
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: that's one of the guiding principles of the show, Sanity

225
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: versus insanity. Yes, in public policy and in the way

226
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: that we viewed things in day to day life and Clay.

227
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: This also goes to the sense of what is the

228
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: opposition They refuse to course correct. You would see it

229
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: if they if they were doing it. They fuse to

230
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: look at what happened in this election and say, you

231
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 4: know what, we need to change messaging on because they've

232
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: gotten so deep on something that's kind of like the

233
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 4: Margaret Brennan thing. This is what you look at Margaret

234
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: Brennan Clay with the same versus insane paradigm, and you go,

235
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: the Nazis weren't pro free speech, you lunatic, right. She

236
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 4: looks at it and goes, this is I am mouthing

237
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 4: the preferred slogan.

238
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: This is the narrative.

239
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 4: The narrative is mean words from the disapproved people from

240
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: the disapproved right causes genocide. That's all that. That's she

241
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 4: just those are the orders. She's orders to say that

242
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: kind of crap, Which is why I think it's a

243
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 4: great question. Is she brainwashed or a moron? I don't

244
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 4: think there's any Maybe she could be a brainwashed moron.

245
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: I guess she could be both. But we'll take some

246
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 4: of your calls react to that. I just wanted to

247
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 4: share that clip with you because I do think it's

248
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: going viral. And last night was the fiftieth anniversary of SNL,

249
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: and I was hoping they would maybe be a little funny.

250
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: Instead they decided to tell you, hey, if you voted

251
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: for Trump, you're a racist and you hate black people.

252
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 4: That's you know, Margaret Brennan, I mean to go to

253
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: this point, she's she went to UVA, which for somebody

254
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 4: not from Virginia is even more impressive Greade School, no

255
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: matter what. But I mean, if you get into UVA

256
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 4: from outside of I know this because a lot of

257
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: New Yorkers wanted to go there, it's incredibly It's like

258
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: getting the U Michigan out of state incredibly hard. She

259
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 4: was a full bright scholar, she speaks fluent Arabic and

260
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: uh yeah, I mean I don't think she's dumb. I

261
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: just think she's just too deep into the machine to

262
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: see what the heck's really going on. Remember she was

263
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: one of the moderators of one of the debates, too, right.

264
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: This is just I mean, this is where on a bigger,

265
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 4: larger front, Republicans have to be smarter about who they

266
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: allowed to moderate. Going see see for me, one of

267
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: the competent, one of the complicated. And I know we

268
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 4: got to take take a pause here, But someone like

269
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: Rachel Mattow also not dumb. Is she actually Brent wash

270
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: or she just pretending for the paycheck? That's what that's

271
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: I can't determine that with some of these libs in

272
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: the media at this point, who are not dumb, but

273
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: who say dumb things.

274
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: If every American took some time to relearn our Constitution.

275
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: Imagine how more informed our opinions on government and politics

276
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: would be. I think that's particularly the case if we

277
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: just talked about Margaret Brennan and her discussion surrounding free

278
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: speech and how the Holocaust actually happened Hillsdale College. I

279
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: wish we could mandate every American watch some of these

280
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: videos that they have put together instructional courses for free

281

282
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: fabric upon which opinions should be built.

283
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: And if you do not have a deep.

284
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Knowledge of American and world history, your ability to make

285
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,560

Speaker 4: some of this free speech issues. Also over at the

311
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 4: Daily Wire, Michael Knowles had a really interesting exchange with

312
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 4: some LGBTQ plus activists. I don't know if this was

313
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: recent or if this is just an old clip that's resurfaced,

314
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: but it goes to what Clay and I were talking about.

315
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 4: When it comes to people who it doesn't matter what

316
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: the it doesn't matter what's true. They've been told they

317
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 4: must believe something, and so they will believe it, and

318
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 4: you can't convince them otherwise. We're talking about policy issues here, right,

319
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: We're not talking about what the outer edge of the

320
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 4: universe may be. So we will dive into some of that.

321
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 4: Also more on doge, so we shall discuss. But last

322
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: week's news on January inflation figures told us the news

323
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 4: we didn't want to hear. Inflation's up again more than

324
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: any time the past last year, it's Trump's administration focused

325
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 4: on it. Of course, is it going to be fixed overnight. No,

326
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 4: this is a decade's long problem that's gonna take years

327
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 4: to get under control. And that's why you need to

328
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 4: take the long view and get some gold and silver

329
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: in your portfolio. A portion of your savings invested in

330
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: gold just makes sense. And Birch Gold Group can help

331
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 4: you with this. Their team at Birch Gold has all

332
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 4: the information you need to walk through the steps of

333
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 4: investing in gold. We trust Birch Gold, same company that's

334
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 4: got a new study on how gold will fare in

335
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 4: the Trump era with a forward by Donald Trump Junior.

336
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 4: I've just bought some more gold from Birch Gold recently

337
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: because I'm trying to build up a little bit of

343
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: Eras Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, appreciate

344
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: all you hanging out with us. We were talking about

345
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: Trump's overall approval ratings skyrocketing. I saw him buck over

346
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 1: the weekend, and I'm gonna pull this up to make

347
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: sure that I get it right, because it even made

348
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: me like do a double take. We mentioned Super Bowl Sunday,

349
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: CBS came out with a poll that showed Trump plus

350
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: six nationwide, plus twenty with men. And we had a

351
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: lot of discussion last week about why Democrats are struggling

352
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: in such a significant fashion when it came to mail voters.

353
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: But I saw this over the weekend and it just

354
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: made me kind of go wow. This is from RMG

355
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: Research and it's a fairly highly regarded poll. You know,

356
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: they value the polls to try to determine whether or

357
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: not they're right wing or left wing leaning. This is

358
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: a solid a solid poll Trump plus twelve job approval,

359
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: fifty five percent approve, forty three percent disapprove. We've never

360
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: seen anything like these numbers for Trump in his entire

361
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: political career. He's never been this positive. Buck And I

362
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: understand people are like nervous about polls and everything else,

363
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: but I do think the storyline is consistent here now,

364
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: just as a thought exercise, throwing this out to you

365
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: and to everyone right now, what would be the thing

366
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: if you're going to disapprove of Trump based on something

367
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: he has done since becoming president? What would that thing

368
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: be when you look at what the focus has been.

369
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: These are at least sixty forty.

370
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 4: Issues, you know, give or take a few points, but

371
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 4: these are solid majority issues.

372
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: And for the.

373
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 4: People who see it that way, I absolutely do not

374
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 4: care how much they scream like Banshee's in DC when

375
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 4: people from DOGE are finding the waste, fraud and abuse

376
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 4: right you just it's not like they have a point

377
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 4: of view and I have a point of view. It

378
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 4: is like, no, if you think wasting hundreds of billions

379
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 4: of dollars of tax payer money is a good thing,

380
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 4: I don't care what you think on the issue.

381
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 2: You're you're crazy.

382
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: I think the only thing I can think of, buck,

383
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: that Trump has really done in a month that could

384
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: be a fifty to fifty or maybe even under fifty

385
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: to fifty proposition is birthright citizenship. And to a large extent,

386
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: I think that's because most people have just not considered

387
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: birthright citizenship. In other words, the Overton window has been

388
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: opened up in many ways, and people are saying, well,

389
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: why do we do this for me? You know, I

390
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: did research and wrote about it my most recent book,

391
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: and so I think most people have really not thought

392
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: about it. But to your point, that's the only one,

393
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: and that's traditional politics.

394
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem. We got.

395
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes you need to advocate for think four things that

396
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: the Jordi doesn't believe in, because you're right and you

397
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: think you can convince them of the rightness of this.

398
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 4: Yes, sometimes sometimes there are issues. I mean the one

399
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 4: that we ever always jumps, who is like, well, what

400
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: should the federal First of all, I think there should

401
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 4: be no income tax.

402
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: That's a crazy idea?

403
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 7: Is that up?

404
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: But Trump likes it too.

405
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 4: But you know, there's going to be some things where

406
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 4: you've just got to set a boundary to set a boundary.

407
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: You got to set the line, and you can debate

408
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 4: the line, and that's fine. There's no debate to be

409
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: had on should violent gang members convicted of serious crimes

410
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: who have no right to be in the United States

411
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: continue to stay here and enjoy status as somebody who

412
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 4: gets access to this beautiful, wonderful country of ours. Absolutely

413
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 4: not that it's not a reasonable position, and be like,

414
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: you know what, I think the MS thirteen hit man

415
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 4: that's already served fifteen years for manslaughter, I think we

416
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: shouldn't deport him. If you think that, you're unreasonable, You're crazy.

417
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: I don't care what your opinion is. Same thing with

418
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 4: the Doge fraud stuff. If you think that people who

419
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 4: are dead should be getting Social Security payments, I don't

420
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 4: know what to say to that person. Why would that?

421
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 4: Why does that make any sense? I think that's one

422
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 4: hundred percent right. And the reason I.

423
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: Gave that prelude is I wanted to play this. Our

424
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: friend Michael Knowles over at The Daily Wire had a

425
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: debate argument set up with LBGTQ plus activists, in particular

426
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: over whether men should be involved in women's sports, which

427
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: Buck is a great example of something that is a

428
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue now nationwide, according to the New York

429
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: Times polls, that much of public opinion has moved in.

430
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: I would say common sense direction. This is an argument

431
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: I believe we have won this show OutKick people like

432
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: Riley Gaines Paula Scanlan speaking out after the Leah Thomas

433
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: ridiculousness of a man pretending to be a woman winning

434
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: a women's NCAA championship, which, by the way, should be

435
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: stripped from him and given to the woman who finished

436
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: in second place. Frankly, I don't even think that's a

437
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: difficult call. But here they are arguing, and one of

438
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: the things you'll hear, this happens all the time, that

439
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: doesn't That's what they argued with me for a long

440
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: time over this. Well, that doesn't happen so much, very often.

441
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why you care. And then Michael Knowles

442
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: immediately comes back with the hard data on how often

443
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: it does happen, and you'll see the immediate pivot in

444
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: the argument. It takes about twenty five seconds.

445
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: Listen, let us transgenderism and public look like to you.

446
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 8: It's allowing men to be treated for the purposes of

447
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 8: the law as women. It's men taking nine hundred sports

448
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 8: trophies from women.

449
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 2: In recent years, and they didn't take nine.

450
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 8: They took nine hundred. This report just came out from

451
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 8: the United Nations. Actually eight hundred and ninety trophies and

452
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 8: medals across six hundred women who were competing competitors across

453
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 8: twenty nine different sports and four hundred competitions that came

454
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 8: out like yesterday, and they deserve them.

455
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: It didn't happen and they deserve them.

456
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 8: Okay, that is the logic I hear from the pro transcrapt.

457
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: Knowles hailed it perfectly. I just I just want to

458
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: say this man.

459
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 4: That is the Democrat mindset, that of the true believers

460
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 4: distilled into one SoundBite. You're lying, it's not happening, and

461
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 4: if it is happening, it's a good thing.

462
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: It is happening. Oh, I'm glad. This is the approach.

463
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: This is the approach to everything. The why do you care?

464
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: Is the number?

465
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: Is the first argument, Right, why do you care? It's

466
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: not happening? Why do you care? It's happening and it's

467
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: a good thing. And my answer to that, because some

468
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: of you may get this argument, my answer to that

469
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: is I care because I believe in fairness of competition.

470
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: That's the very foundation of competition in general.

471
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 4: I'll just tell you I actually the way I see

472
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: it on the spectrum, we can sort of debate this,

473
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 4: but I think it's flat denial, which is what that

474
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 4: that woman did. And I'm assuming her gender. I think

475
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: it's a woman. I don't know, but based only that's accurate.

476
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: It is a woman so far as we can tell,

477
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 4: as far as I know identify as a woman. It

478
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 4: isn't happening. And then it goes to, uh, it is.

479
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: It is happening, but not that much. Why do you care?

480
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, like like you're exaggerating.

481
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 4: Oh, it's it's it's just a few, it's just a

482
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 4: few transactletes. It's just a few people. Why do you

483
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 4: care so much? And then they transition to yeah, it's

484
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 4: happening all the time and it's a good thing, and

485
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: the same. It's not that the argument moves sort of

486
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 4: this vague sense. A person who will tell you the

487
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: first thing will then tell you the second, will then

488
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 4: tell you the third, and you can show them the

489
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 4: clips of themselves and they're like, yeah, it's just like

490
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: it's just like what what communists always do, which is

491
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 4: the argument is all in favor of what they want.

492
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what's actually happening.

493
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: That's so true. It's so true.

494
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: And I think it goes to why is Trump's approval

495
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: rating going up all over the country because most of

496
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: what he's doing is not particularly partisan. In fact, do

497
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: we have the audio of I think it's worth playing

498
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: the audio out there.

499
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: Did you hear.

500
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Obama and Biden saying, Hey, we've got to go find

501
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: all of the different all of the different wasteful spending

502
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: and fraud that exists in the United States government. Let

503
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: me play this cut for you. We can react to it,

504
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: and we come back in a little bit. Here Buck,

505
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: this is Obama and then Vice President Joe Biden talking

506
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: about the need to cut the budget and find all

507
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: the fraud there.

508
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: This was just about a decade ago.

509
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: Now it's controversial when Elon does it, but back when

510
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: Obama and Biden were in charge, it was just good governance.

511
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: Listen to cuttle.

512
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 7: Judget Reform is not an option, it's a necessity.

513
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 9: The American people are entitled to transparency.

514
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 7: We can't sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer

515
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 7: dollars on programs that have outlived their usefulness or exist

516
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 7: solely because of the power of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups.

517
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 9: They're entitally being able to figure out where their dollars

518
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 9: are going, and they're entitled to accountability to make sure

519
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 9: that we're using the dollars for what we said it

520
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 9: was for.

521
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 7: We are going to go through our federal budget as

522
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 7: I promised during the campaign, page by page, line by line,

523
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 7: eliminating those programs we don't need, and insisting that those

524
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 7: that we do need operate in a sensible, cost effective way.

525
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 7: It should be easy is getting rid of the pointless

526
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 7: waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody.

527
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 9: We hope to be instilling an entire new culture that

528
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 9: not only our administration, but every succeeding administration will in

529
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 9: fact pursue.

530
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 7: No amount of waste is acceptable, not when it's your money.

531
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: Fuck.

532
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: This was a decade ago conventional wisdom, not considered to

533
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: be remotely political. You could basically put those quotes in

534
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Elon Musk's mouth right now, and he is saying the

535
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: exact same thing that Barack Obama and Joe Biden said

536
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: just about a decade ago.

537
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 4: Well, but this is also because it's it's a clear

538
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 4: majority issue, meaning even Democrats know that on those things,

539
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: on things like just wasting taxpayers, straight up wasting tax

540
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: payer dollars, and we're not talking about the USAID thing.

541
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: Should we be funding you know, I mean, I think

542
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: that's a waste. But there's different degrees of waste. Right,

543
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 4: there's funding the transgender puppet shows in ulan Bator, and

544
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 4: then there's sending hundreds of millions, maybe even billions of

545
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: dollars to fraud rings in like the former Soviet Republic

546
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 4: and in Southeast Asia for Medicare payments that never org

547
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 4: Medicare Medicaid payments that never should have gone out. Like,

548
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: it's not possible to make an argument in favor of

549
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 4: that stuff, clay right, No one would ever do that. However,

550
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: Democrats also know that when Obama and Biden, when they

551
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: say that stuff, it's just words. It's words to fool

552
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 4: the normies, it's words to make the Democrats seem like

553
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: normis when really they're going to pursue the objectives that

554
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 4: we've seen over the last decade. Just like on the border,

555
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: by the way, you listen to stuff that the deporter

556
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: in chief. You listen what Obama says on the border,

557
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 4: and if you say that stuff now to a lot

558
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 4: of Democrats, I mean basically any true believer Democrat, they

559
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 4: say that you're like a xenophobic, racist maniac. I could

560
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: take a transcript of Obama on the border from his

561
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 4: first term, Clay, and if I went on, you know,

562
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 4: I'm trying to of what left wing shows.

563
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 2: Can I even go on these days? I don't know.

564
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: I went on, there we go, thank you. If I

565
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 4: went on the view, I don't think Sonny Hostain would

566
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 4: like what I had to say about immigration. Using Obama's

567
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 4: exact words from a decade.

568
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Ago would actually be a great test, just to go

569
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: on and just memorize exactly what he said. Say, I'm back.

570
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: There's probably a video of her talking about how much

571
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: common sense it was. Then, by the way, you mentioned

572
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: that in the third hour, we should dive into the

573
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: border completely shut down. Tom Hollman is doing any credible job?

574
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, everybody is get the border shut down.

575
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: It's basically not a story already, you know, to talk about, oh,

576
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: what has Trump done in less than a month. We're

577
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna hit you with some of these numbers. We come

578
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: back in the third hour here in a little bit,

579
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: and I saw Bill Malugin, who, by the way, I said,

580
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: should be you know the border shirtless swimsuit.

581
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm all about ratings. Put him in a swimsuit.

582
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: Let him stand there, maybe a knee deep in the

583
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: in the rio grand and I think numbers would go

584
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: up in a big way.

585
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: He tweeted.

586
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: You can't even find an illegal immigrant crossing the southern

587
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: border right now. Remember you used to be able to

588
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: just take a camera and you could see the caravan

589
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: coming right across the border. The border is completely shut

590
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: down without any congressional act. One of the big lies

591
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: they all told us Buck was and some Republicans went

592
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: along with this. Oh yes, we can't solve the border

593
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: without congress acting. Trump got his pen, they got to pay.

594
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: He signed all those executive orders, and suddenly the border

595
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: is completely closed again. We'll talk about it in a

596
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: little bit, But in Israel today there's a peace. We

597
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: hope the peace is going to last. But there is

598
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid given the

599
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: disruption and displacement over the last year. The International Fellowship

600
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews has continued to support those in

601
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,840

602
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 1: those who are in desperate.

603
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,440

Speaker 1: critically needed aid to communities in the North and South

606

Speaker 1: devastated by the ongoing war. The International Fellowship of Christians

607
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: and Jews pays attention to those in need. I've seen

608
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: it firsthand on my trip to Israel that I took

609
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: in December. You can provide hope during a time of

610
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: great uncertainty with your gift that will do so much

611
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,000

00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 10: Hey, so Marty, we are I'm Marty. I'm a little

624
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 10: rattled here, coming in off of a flight from Sydney, Australia.

625
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 10: We're here to tell you that we Trump has so

626
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 10: many supporters it's now fashionable. They can say it out loud,

627
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 10: and they're out loud and proud. Trump is in the

628
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 10: league because they know that in America, whatever goes on

629
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 10: here it trickles down to them.

630
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 4: And Marty are Marty just so unclear? You're you're telling

631
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: us that Trump is big in the land down under.

632
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 10: Oh, yes he is.

633
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 7: Uh.

634
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 10: There's a few haters, but you know you can't change

635
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 10: their mind. They're gonna hate. Uh, So we have to

636
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 10: show them the other side. And that's what we do.

637
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 10: We walk around like walking billboards. We have our Trump

638
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 10: hat on. It's amazing, I'm telling you amazing.

639
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: So you this is this is great.

640
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: I went to Australia about what a year and a

641
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: half ago or so last last I guess it was

642
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: last Christmas, and I found that there were a lot

643
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: of Trump supporters there.

644
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: Marty. I'm curious.

645
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: You said you went with a bunch of grandmothers I

646
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: hope your trip was fabulous because it is a beautiful country.

647
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: But I have found that and this is what we

648
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: were talking about earlier, Buck, many people in other countries.

649
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: There's a lot Canadians listening to us right now. There's

650
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: a lot of Europeans that agree with a lot of

651
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: what Trump is doing as well. They don't have political

652
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: leaders that are saying what Trump is saying. And so

653
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: to your point, Marty, they're actually looking to the United

654
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: States as a great beacon of freedom because they can't

655
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: find it in their own country.

656
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 10: Excellent. That's a perfect description. Perfect And I'm gonna tell

657
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 10: you no, we go as snapping Granny's there's two of us.

658
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 10: We've been doing this for nine years when it was

659
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 10: not fashionable. Stand for Trump. We stand by that man,

660
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 10: We stand by all that's going on, and we are

661
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 10: so proud that once again maybe our voices can be

662
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 10: heard again.

663
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. We're glad you made it

664
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: back safe. It's a beautiful country. I loved my time

665
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: in Australia, but Buck, I hear from a lot of

666
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: these Australians. I hear from a lot of Canadians English

667
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: language speakers, in particular, in England certainly that their leadership

668
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: won't advocate for them in a way that Trump is

669
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: advocating for Americans here, and so they look to him

670
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: not only as a beacon of light for what he's

671
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: doing in America, but as hopefully an inspiration to lead

672
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: leaders in other Western speaking, Western civilized, English speaking countries

673
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: to lead the charge.

674
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 4: And we get a sense of how much that is

675
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 4: needed right now considering the hits that freedom is taking

676
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 4: in Canada, in Australia, in Great Britain, a lot of

677
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 4: places that need a reminder about the greatness and their

678
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 4: role in the greatness of Western civilization with freedom at

679
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 4: the core of it all. We are going to dive

680
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 4: into this and more on Doge and Clay's going to

681
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 4: talk about the Daytona five hundred with Trump and other

682
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 4: great things in the third hour, which is coming up
