1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to the Thursday edition of the Clay

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Travis en Buck Sexton Show. I'm out here in Las

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: Vegas for shot show, Clay in home turf of Tennessee,

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: and we have a lot to dive into with all

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: of you. Trump speaking of the World Economic Forum, some

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: interesting news there on economic matters. We will be discussing

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: that more on the Well. There's a Trump interview with

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity last night. He had some very interesting things

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: to say their exclusive interview. The Democrat media is still

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: scrambling not just for a message, but for relevance in

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: an era of Trump dominance that we are in right now.

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing that has kicked off, and we

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: are just seeing so many components of this at once,

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: is the change in immigration policy that has already hit

15
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: hard in a whole bunch of places, whole bunch of

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: areas of policy. ICE has arrested just shy of five

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: hundred illegal alien criminals. These are people that have histories

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: including sexual assault, robbery, drug and weapon offenses.

19
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: They've also had.

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: This is all from Trump executive orders and decisions from

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: the top of the executive branch. ICE has changed their

22
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: official terminology to refer to those they arrest from non

23
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: citizen I can't believe that was even the policy, while

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: it was to illegal alien. AOC is freaking out about

25
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: all of this, No big surprise there.

26
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: We'll get into some of that.

27
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: New York Times says how labeling cartels terrorists could hurt

28
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: the US economy as a fascinating headline that we will

29
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: dissect from the New York Times class how you tweeted

30
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: about this. CNN is going to lay off hundreds of

31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: employees post inauguration. Turns out, turning your internetwork into a

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: stop Trump entity and then Trump winning is not good

33
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: for business this time around, at least it seems so far.

34
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: But let's let's get into some of this illegal immigration issue.

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there's I understood people are saying stuff Clay

36
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: right now, like, well, it's only five hundred of these

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: criminal legal aliens. They've done these raids to go and

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: get and I'm quite certain that this is going to

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: ramp up dramatically that once the machinery gets in place

40
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: and as they get going, this is going to be

41
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: a ramp up process. Remember Trump has only had his

42
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: people in place, They've only been you know, assigned their

43
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: desks and and given their their access and everything for

44
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: a couple of days now, so it's going to take

45
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 1: some time to get this up and where it needs

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: to be.

47
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, Clay, we can jump right to

48
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: this because I know you you had mentioned this one.

49
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: There's a an illegal Haitian immigran or an illegal alien.

50
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: We got to see the terminology change.

51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: It's it's because it gets stuck in your head what

52
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: everyone's been saying for so long. A Haitian illegal alien

53
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: with seventeen arrests was picked up and this was today

54
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: on Fox Bill Malugan reporting, this is what the guy said,

55
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: as they're putting them in the back of the car, I'm.

56
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: Not going back to Haiti.

57
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: I mean no. Biden for Averro, Thank Obama for anything

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: that he said for.

59
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: The bone, Thank Obama for I mean sorry, thank Biden,

60
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: he said Obama too. Thank Biden for everything that he

61
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: did for me. As the serial criminal offender is put

62
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: in the back of a deportation raids car car.

63
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: It could not be better for the Trump team to

64
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: have this going megaviral like it is. This guy is

65
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: in the back of a car, he says. Biden for

66
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: which I guess maybe he and he and Jill are

67
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: maybe the last supporters on Biden Island, so to speak.

68
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: And he's put in the car again. Seventeen arrests illegally

69
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: here from Haiti. The very definition of who should be deported,

70
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 4: shouts out Obama and shouts out Biden and says f

71
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: Trump and many of you out there are saying, this

72
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 4: is exactly what we voted for. Take illegal, violent criminals

73
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: out of this country and send them back to where

74
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: they came from. And so far that is the focal

75
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: point of what Trump is doing. And not only that,

76
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: buck the numbers, the borders basically shut down. It's amazing

77
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: how quickly you can shut down the southern border if

78
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: you want to do it. I think I saw the

79
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: number five hundred illegal crossings yesterday.

80
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: Five hundred counters.

81
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that means that includes people who are to

82
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: surrender to border patrol. That includes people who make a

83
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: run for it, you know. Encounter is everybody that border

84
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: patrol basically has to interact with at the border who

85
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: are not going through a lawful port of entry. So, yeah,

86
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: five hundred down from many thousands just last week.

87
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: A day he.

88
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 4: Easily ten thousand a day for years under Biden. Buck

89
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: basically a ninety five if I math is right, a

90
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 4: ninety five percent decline. And they're now mobilizing Trump to

91
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: his credit, A is sending soldiers marines to the border

92
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: to be able to even further restrict who's able to

93
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: come across the southern border. It's just kind of remarkable, honestly,

94
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: even people out there, I think who were not necessarily

95
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: committed to Trump Buck. Remember, people said, oh, he'll never

96
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 4: do any of this stuff. He's just he's actually doing

97
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: even more and none of it's leaking in advance. And

98
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: I think this is a big part of his early success.

99
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: Remember how every time anybody at anything in the Trump

100
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: white White House one point zero, it was on the

101
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 4: front page of the New York Times, on the front

102
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: page of the Washington Post. It was designed to put

103
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 4: up obstacles to his being able to do what he

104
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: wanted to do. None of the stuff is leaking until

105
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 4: it actually hits the wire and becomes an official order

106
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 4: or a proclamation. It's a real sign of discipline early on.

107
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Now this also goes to the change in sentiment that

108
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: has occurred because of Biden. Now we had that guy

109
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: yell yelling that Biden forever as he's being detained and

110
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: is on his way to being deported. But the American

111
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: people have changed their opinion on this, or rather more

112
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: and more people are of the opinion that this is necessary,

113
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: that Biden's Remember in the first Trump term, it was

114
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: build the wall to prevent more illegals from coming in.

115
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: The focus was stopping the next thing of illegals. It

116
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: really wasn't so so much about taking people who had

117
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: already gotten in illegally into porting them. Now, yes, Trump

118
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: had said, you know, send them back and stuff, but

119
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: the main chant, the main focus immigration policy was we

120
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: got to secure the border with the wall. Now the

121
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: focus from day one it's that, yes, they're going to

122
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: continue building the wall, but it's also a dramatic increase

123
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: in these deportations. And this is where CNN they're explaining

124
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: to their audience that look, the majorities and all pollings

125
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: say that illegals should this has cut six illegals should

126
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: be sent back to their country of nationality.

127
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: Play it.

128
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: There's been a massive shift from when Trump was first

129
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: getting into office eight years ago. Right the port all

130
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: undocumented immigrants, you go back to twenty fifteen, it was

131
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: forty two percent. Go to twenty sixteen, it was thirty

132
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: six percent.

133
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: Look at where we are now, this was.

134
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: Taken at the end of last year. Fifty six percent

135
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: is twenty points higher than it was just before Trump

136
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: got office the first time. So feelings towards immigration in

137
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: this country, feelings towards undocumented immigrants and deporting all of

138
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: them have become considerably more hawkish, and I think that

139
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: gives Donald Trump much more leverage to go with the

140
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: American people and sort of have these hawkish, some might say,

141
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: harsh different rhetoric and also issue based sort of going

142
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: after immigrants who are here illegally.

143
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely correct, Yes, and what we see happening right now,

144
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: no doubt.

145
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 4: And I think again it demonstrates just how much Trump

146
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 4: has won the argument in the public arena, even on

147
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: something I was reading a lot because I'm fascinated by

148
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 4: what the Supreme Court's ultimately going to do on the

149
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 4: birthrights citizenship case that's going to advance to the Supreme

150
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: Court in the months and year to come. Now that

151
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 4: Trump has issued a birthright citizenship executive order, you couldn't

152
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: even talk about that fifteen You could barely talk about

153
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 4: the idea of a wall, and now huge majorities of

154
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: Americans are in favor of it. Buck, I saw the

155
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 4: trans women in sports issue, the sort of the men

156
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 4: pretending to be women. Sixty five percent of Democrats think

157
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: it's wrong. Now think about how eighty percent of the

158
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 4: I think it was seventy nine percent of the overall

159
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 4: American public. But Democrats are now because of the positions

160
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: they have staked out, actually advocating as a full party

161
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: against things that Democrats even believe. And I can't remember

162
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: that happening very often in the history, Buck, of American politics.

163
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: Part of the huge shift here is that there are

164
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people who no longer feel like for

165
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: the lord of the rings fans, the eye of sourn

166
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: is on them, or big Brother for those who are

167
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: or well people, they feel like they're lowed to think

168
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: what they would think without the pressure of the mob

169
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: pushing them in a certain direction. I think you see

170
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: that on certainly the men and women's sports issue. I

171
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: think you see it on immigration as well. And you

172
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: add to that the numbers eight to ten million is

173
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: the official number. Trump says it is more like twenty million.

174
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's just a It's like an entire

175
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: large state that has been added under Biden's tenure of illegals.

176
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: You know, I imagine if you took I mean, I

177
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: don't know how many. Try to think of a state

178
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: that has ten million people. You know, New York has

179
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: twenty million, give or take. Florida has twenty million, ten million.

180
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: What do you think New Jersey probably has something close

181
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: to that, right, I mean, I'm trying to think of

182
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: a state with ten million. But the point is they've

183
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: added so many people illegally into the country that now

184
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: the so called normies, the kind of every day the

185
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: people that don't really think that much about politics. Clay,

186
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: I think they'd had enough. I think they're fed up

187
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: with this. And this is why you're at really a

188
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: sixty percent mandate of the American people to get these

189
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: deportations going to levels that are going to be impressive

190
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: and that are going to cause some friction because the

191
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to freak out.

192
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 4: Prepare if there is any errant deportation, they are going

193
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 4: to cover it at MSNBC and the New York Times

194
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: and the Washington Post. I think I could be wrong,

195
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: but I think this is what's going to happen with

196
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: a fine two comb. They're going to use one failed

197
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: anecdotal deportation as evidence of why the entire process is flawed.

198
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 4: And this is the very illustration of dishonest reporting, because

199
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: I'm just telling you what's going to happen. They're going

200
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: to try to find anecdotal reporting is fine, but the

201
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: anecdote should illustrate a larger picture problem, not be the

202
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: outlier that doesn't in fact reflect the larger issue. And

203
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: what we've seen happen with the way the legacy media

204
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 4: has done in the Trump era is they will find

205
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 4: one thing that isn't representative of the sum total, and

206
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 4: they will try and argue, oh, because of this, we

207
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 4: shouldn't have this policy in place.

208
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 5: Just prepare yourselves.

209
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: I want Republicans, particularly Congress, to have spines here and

210
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 4: not immediately turn into turtles and go run and hide

211
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 4: as soon as this story happens, because it's going to happen.

212
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 4: It's an evidence.

213
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: The old media game was every illegal who comes into

214
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: the country, is you know, building orphanages in his spare

215
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: time and founding companies and is you know a navy

216
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: seal whatever? Right, I mean, it's just some kind of

217
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: superhero has crossed the border. They always act as though

218
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: one individual story should somehow dictate the policy. No, the

219
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: policy is about numbers and the aggregate. The policy is

220
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: about tens of millions of people taking advantage of the

221
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: American people. And it's finally, I mean, I hope coming

222
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: to an end. Now we're at least getting far less

223
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: egregious than it has been. It's going to be a process.

224
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: It's going to take years, no matter what. And this

225
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: is where I've believed all along, Clay, you know, it's

226
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: make or break for Trump and his team that they

227
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: do this, and they are doing it so promises made,

228
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: promises kept. This is where the Democrats are going to

229
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: dig in and try to turn the politics of this

230
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: country around. I think this is the biggest fight that

231
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: we face right now. I actually don't think it's on

232
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: you know, Ukraine. I don't think it's on some of

233
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: these other things the media focus is on. It's going

234
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: to be on illegals, the border and deportation. You know,

235
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: there are no age restrictions on online identity theft. Just

236
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: ask the millions of kids whose online identity may have

237
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: been stolen. Just before New Year's cyber hackers cracked the

238
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: database of Power School, a company providing cloud based software

239
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: to k through twelve schools here in the US and abroad.

240
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: It's not clear how many of the fifty million estimated

241
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: students in the database we're victims. The company Power School

242
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: shared the news within a couple of weeks of learning

243
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: of the situation. What was stolen might have included social

244
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: security numbers, medical data, full names and addresses. This kind

245
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: of a data breach is exactly the stuff of online

246
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: identity theft nightmares, and it's important to understand how cybercrime

247
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: and identity theft are affecting all of our lives. It's

248
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: also important that you know how to protect yourself and

249
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: your family do something about this in advance of the problem.

250
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: That's where having lifelocks online identity theft protection goes a

251

262
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: I appreciate all of you hanging out with us. I

263
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: want to read you an email, Buck, because we're having

264
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 4: so much winning, sometimes I feel like we can end

265
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: up not noticing what's going on around us. We talked

266
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: yesterday about Trump ending DEI in the federal government. This

267
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 4: email just went out from NASA. Dear agency employees, we're

268
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: taking steps to close all agency DEI offices and end

269
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 4: all DEI related contracts in accordance with President Trump's executive orders.

270
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 4: These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and

271
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: resulted in shameful discrimination. We are aware of efforts by

272
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: some in government to disguise these programs by using coded

273
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 4: or imprecise language. If you're aware of a change in

274
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: any contract description or personnel position since November fifth to

275
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 4: obscure the connection between con tracked in DEI, report all

276
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: facts and circumstances within ten days. There will be no

277
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 4: adverse consequences for timely reporting. However, failure to report within

278
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: ten days may result in adverse consequences.

279
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 5: Fuck, this is just a sea change. Again, that's NASA, where.

280
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: You would say, hey, I don't care about anything but

281
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: getting people safely to space. Sending that email is indicative

282
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 4: of the major culture shift where suddenly everybody's recognizing and

283
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 4: acknowledging this whole DEI business was a sham. And if

284
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: you think it's not going to translate into larger corporate culture,

285
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: I think you're wrong. That's the importance not only from

286
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 4: the government.

287
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Well, DEI really just became a institutionalizing of affirmative action,

288
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: meant to stay within the bureaucracy and to dominate corporate

289
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: and government hiring and culture indefinitely. Right, And now what

290
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: we're seeing is no, it's actually a choice. You don't

291
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: have to do this and it's wrong, so don't do it.

292
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: This is.

293
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of conservatives, we almost because

294
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: this has been going on for a long time.

295
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: That's the thing we call it DEI.

296
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: Now, like I said, it's gender, race and others, you know,

297
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: preferential hiring and ideological training and all of this stuff

298
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: in our generation particular, Clay has been really heavily subjected

299
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: to this stuff. You know, your generation, my Generation X,

300
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: Gen X and millennials, whatever. This has been something that

301
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: we've had to live with, and we actually don't have

302
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: to live with it forever.

303
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: It really does feel free.

304
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: If you were born around nineteen eighty, you have been

305
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 4: suffused in this affirmative action DEI culture for your entire life,

306
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 4: and suddenly it's ending.

307
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 5: Look, if you're going.

308
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,720

Speaker 1: All right, welcome back into Clay and talking long about

327
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: the order.

328
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: Today.

329
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: Will also be talking about what feels like Trump's triump

330
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: over the anti Trump media. It's not total annihilation of

331
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: Trump's enemies, but it is h it's quite a butt

332
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: kicking that they have taken. And CNN among those who

333
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: are reeling.

334
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: From the Trump win.

335
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: Yes, it turns out as a media, as a so

336
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: called journalistic entity, as a news organization, you shouldn't decide

337
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: to turn your entire day to day existence into one

338
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: big anti Trump commercial, anti any politician commercial, because you're

339
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,239
Speaker 1: lying to everybody saying you're a news organization. You're not,

340
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: you're activists, you're partisans, you're doing something else. And so

341
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: CNN finally, I think having to deal with and own

342
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: up to this. We'll get to that in a little

343
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: bit and a lot obviously on the board today as

344
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: we've been discussing. But something really interesting that goes to

345
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: the corporate shift that we have seen where it seems

346
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: like it's no longer going to be feasible, it's no

347
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: longer going to be acceptable for companies major I'm talking

348
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: like the biggest companies.

349
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: To to obviously and clearly.

350
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: Discriminate against people's political views. Right, we're all so obsessed

351
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: with oh it did not. We are all, but these

352
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: corporations have been so obsessed with what are your pronouns?

353
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: And you know there's fifty genders and all this stuff.

354
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: But if you're a Republican, we don't want your you know,

355
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: we don't want your business, or you can't say that,

356
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: or we don't want to deal with you.

357
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 2: It's a disgrace. And Trump realizes.

358
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: It, and he was out at he's out at the

359
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: Davos World Economic Forum summit. He's in Davos in Switzerland.

360
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: Uh, and he.

361
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: Called out the CEO of Bank of America to his face,

362
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: listen to this.

363
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 6: By the way, speaking of you, and you've done a

364
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 6: fantastic job. But I hope you start opening your bank

365
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 6: to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are

366
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 6: not allowing them to do business within the bank, and

367
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 6: that included a place called Bank of America. This conservative,

368
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 6: they don't take conservative business. And I don't know if

369
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 6: the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what, but

370
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 6: you and Jamie and everybody, I hope you're going to

371
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 6: open your banks to conservatives because what you're doing is wrong.

372
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 4: I will say that your friend Johnny was set alone,

373
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 4: told me tell you a low and we look forward to.

374
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: A sponsored the World Cup when it comes, both this

375
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: summer for the club and next year.

376
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: So thank you for getting that for the United States.

377
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: Okay, So just to give everyone a sense of what

378
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: Trump is talking about there when he's speaking to the

379
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: Bank of America CEO. Bank of America has a history

380
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: and this is from Attorney General Mires putting this out

381
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: in Virginia has a history of denying services to gun manufacturers,

382
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: fossil fuel producers, contractors for US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement

383
00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: has canceled the accounts of Christian ministry groups just just discriminating,

384
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: discriminating against anything that is conservative or or also just

385
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: like rule of law.

386
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

387
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is a big deal when Trump calls

388
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: out companies like this because now he's speaking.

389
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: Remotely, virtually via remote he's not actually at Davos.

390
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're in Davos, but I do think the bank

391
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 4: CEOs were there. So he's calling them out in the room.

392
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: And it is.

393
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 4: Significant because most leaders of big companies, I'm just gonna

394
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 4: be honest with all of you, are huge cowards and

395
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: they live in fear because they make tons of money,

396
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: but they live in fear of losing their jobs. And

397
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 4: one way you lose your job is by drawing attention

398
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 4: to you and your company in a negative manner that

399
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 4: makes your board unhappy. Look at what happened with Bob Chapik,

400
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: who got forced out by Bob Iger at Disney over

401
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 4: that don't say gay bill, because he got Disney all

402
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 4: in mesh there. And actually I think he was right

403
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 4: in the way that he handled it compared to Bob Iger.

404
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: But we were at the apex of woke still.

405
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 4: In that era, and the fact that he was Bob

406
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 4: Japik trying to say, we don't want a feud with

407
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: individual states over state bills. He was right, but they

408
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 4: don't want to get attention. And so Trump pointing this out.

409
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 4: I guarantee you there's an immediate reaction inside a Bank

410
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 4: of America where they're like, the CEO is going to

411
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: walk in and he's going to say, we better not

412
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 4: screw this up. I don't want my name in the headlines.

413
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: I don't want Bank of America getting called out by Trump.

414
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 4: And it's a message Trump will call out executives in

415
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: situations like these and demand. All he's asking for is

416
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 4: fair treatment. Right, don't dbank someone?

417
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: Yes?

418
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: I mean, why would any bank think that it is

419
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: acceptable to deny services to people who are working with

420
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: the federal government? Think about that for us. Second, it's

421
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: a little bit like years ago. I remember there was

422
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: a there was an uproar among Google employees.

423
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 2: Uh, and remember we think of these places, Oh, but

424
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: these people work there, must be so smart.

425
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: No, they've all been They've all been stuffed and stacked

426
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: with people that can't actually do very much of anything

427
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: other than politicking. You know, DEI training. You know, they

428
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: look at what happened to Twitter. It became an activist

429
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: organization that also happened to have a social media platform.

430
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that at Google and these other

431
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: huge companies as well. I mean, there's you could cut

432
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: them down. They're so profitable that it doesn't matter for

433
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: their bottom line very much. You could cut them down substantially.

434
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: But Google, Uh, remember there are people who were upset

435
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: because they were there was Google federal government contracts with

436
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: the defense industry. So they're like, well, we we can't

437
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: we at Google can't be working with you know, the

438
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: Pentagon or the American defense establishment.

439
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: We can't do that. It's like you guys, you guys

440
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 2: want to say up operations in China. You know you're

441
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: you're in America.

442
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: You're only able to do what you do because of

443
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: the defense industry because you're in America. Like, how about

444
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: a little patriotism from these companies? And I just think

445
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: that there's a there's a sea change coming with all

446
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: of his clay and any any bank that engages in

447
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: political discrimination. The DOJ or you know, whatever the department

448
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: is that's best suited to handle it should bring the hammer.

449
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 5: Down on them.

450
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and again I just circle back to Trump

451
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: is doing exactly what he said he was going to do.

452
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 4: And so far, you correct me if I'm wrong, Buck,

453
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: I haven't seen any real opposition. I mean the fact

454
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 4: that aocs of the world are obsessed with trying to

455
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 4: make Elon Musk heart tap and and uh and an

456
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: acknowledgment of the crowd into some sort of Nazi salute

457
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 4: is I think a sign of how they can't really coalesce.

458
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 4: They've tried. We should mention this. They've tried to derail

459
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: the Pete hegsett Defense Secretary nomination. Ratcliffe has cleared basically

460
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 4: in the CIA, the final vote is going to happen

461
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 4: on that he got over seventy votes, and they're expecting

462
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 4: the Hegseth vote to come this afternoon. Not sure exactly

463
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 4: what the final tally will be, but JD. Vance has

464
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 4: prepared to break a tie if necessary. As many as

465
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 4: three Republicans could bail and heg Seth could still get

466
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 4: the nomination. It looks like that attempt to derail him

467
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 4: may fail as soon as this afternoon. So my point

468
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: is what sort of opposition has even emerged in the

469
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 4: first week of Trump moving quickly and breaking a lot

470
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: of things that Biden built. I should also mention remember

471
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 4: all the pro life protesters that had been so aggressively

472
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 4: prosecuted by Biden. Trump has now pardoned them all that

473
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 4: news just breaking as well. So many of those people

474
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 4: who basically had done virtually nothing had gotten multiple months

475
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 4: or years in prison, which was just a draconian punishment.

476
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: Trump has in the last twenty minutes or so, news

477
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 4: has broken that Trump has pardoned all of those individuals

478
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 4: as well, and they will soon be released from their

479
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: criminal sentences well give which again is a strong move.

480
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it gives you a sense of how important abortion

481
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: has been to the Democrats that they're willing to create

482
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: special federal laws that mean that you can go to

483
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: prison if you impede access, if you are blocking a

484
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: pathway to an abortion clinic, you can be arrested and

485
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: go to and get prison time for it.

486
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: And the Biden administration was doing that.

487
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: If you are sitting in the you know, in the

488
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: entryway or the doorway, think of how many times that

489
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: happens in other contexts. You're sitting in the jury of

490
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: the doorway of an abortion clinic and you're praying Biden's

491
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: doj wanted to send you to federal prison.

492
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 2: I'm very happy to hear.

493
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: I knew that that was in the hopper, so to speak,

494
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: for something that Trump was looking at doing, but that's fantastic.

495
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: There's another extreme and egregious overreach over punishment.

496
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 2: Of people based upon politics.

497
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: You start adding this Upclay, what was the priority of

498
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: the Biden DJ It really seems like it was to

499
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: score as many political points against their perceived political enemies

500
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: as possible and not to actually do justice.

501
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: No doubt.

502
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 4: I think Mary Garland was the worst attorney general in

503
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: any of our lives. And I think Biden and all

504
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: of his acolytes politicized the DOJ to a level we've

505
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: never seen before. Not to say it hasn't been political before,

506
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 4: because it certainly has, but I think they took it

507
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: to a level that is unprecedented in its scope. Whether

508
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: it was the jan six prosecutions which were far in

509
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: excess for the vast majority of people who didn't engage

510
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: in violent behavior, that that was the focal point in

511
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 4: at fifteen hundred prosecutions occurred as crazy, at least relative

512
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 4: to the standard set during BLM protests. And then you

513
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 4: also combine it, certainly with the lawfair against Trump. Look,

514
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 4: I think Trump came to the January sixth individual side

515
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 4: to a large extent because he came to see it

516
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 4: as connected to the prosecutions that were levied against him

517
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 4: as well. In other words, it wasn't him. He saw

518
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 4: all those as being connected political persecutions, and I think

519
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 4: he was right to see it that way. We'll take

520
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 4: some of your calls, will continue to react CNN, as

521
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: you mentioned off the top, next hour, I want to

522
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 4: have some fun with this firing two hundred people, six

523
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: percent of its workforce, as the business is collapsing and

524
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 4: the audience is collapsing as well. And maybe you're out there,

525
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 4: maybe you had a long weekend because it was Mlkday,

526
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 4: and then you stayed up and celebrated the inauguration of

527
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 4: Donald Trump. I saw the ratings come out for Fox

528
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 4: News and they were through the roof. And if you

529
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 4: have been doing that, you have been spending your time.

530
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 4: Maybe with a little bit later nights, a little bit

531
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 4: earlier mornings than the past. You may need a little

Speaker 4: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us

557
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: as we are powering through the Thursday edition of the program.

558
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 4: As we get ready for the weekend coming up. Obviously,

559
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 4: we've been talking about the big football games that are

560
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: going on, but Buck, I just I keep looking at

561
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 4: the number of celebrities that are thumbing their nose at

562
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: any attempt to cancel them. Did you see so Snoop

563
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 4: Dogg played, Carrie Underwood played, and Nelly played, among others.

564
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 4: At the end the obviously the village people saying whymca

565
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 4: and everything else.

566
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 5: I hadn't realized this.

567
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: But the village people in twenty seventeen sent a cease

568
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 4: and desist letter to Trump to ask him to stop

569
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 4: playing ymca. I thought that was kind of a perfect

570
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 4: approximation of how much the culture has shifted around Trump.

571
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 5: Have you seen this?

572
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 6: That?

573
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 4: And now they are showing up and playing his inaugural

574
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 4: address and endorsing him in many ways in the space

575
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 4: of eight years. That kind of gives you a sense

576
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 4: of how much society's culture has changed around Trump. And

577
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 4: I just wanted to mention that because I saw it

578
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 4: yesterday and I saw the cease and desist.

579
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 5: You know, this is not uncommon.

580
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 4: A lot of times you have the performer, if their

581
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 4: music has played at a rally, they get upset and

582
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 4: they say, oh, I'm not endorsing that candidate, and they

583
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 4: try and request that their music not be played. They

584
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: go on from you can't even play my music too,

585
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 4: We will show up and perform for you at the inauguration.

586
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: It's an enormous shift.

587
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: I'd also just note that when when artists have tended

588
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: to do that in the past, they're just being annoying

589
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: because when it comes to venues, the venues licensed the

590
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: playing of this music, so they don't have legal recourse.

591
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: They're really just complaining about it.

592
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: Right, So if you're giving a speech at an arena

593
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: and the arena play, they pay a license fee for

594
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: the music that they're playing, right, And so when these

595
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: artists they stop playing my thing at your at your

596
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: arena or whatever, a lot of the time it's well, actually, no,

597
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: that's not how it works. It's licensed and they can

598
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: play the music at that arena. So U it's just

599
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 1: them complaining and being babies about it. But I do

600
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: think it's amazing that there's been such a shift, and

601
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: I honestly I don't even know how I would advise, well,

602
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: I would advise democrats to stop being crazy. Yes, I

603
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: don't know if they can do that. I don't know

604
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: what their pathway is right now. They really just have

605
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: to wait and see what Trump does next.

606
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any doubt. By the way, you're

607
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 4: in Las Vegas right now for the Shot convention out.

608
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: There, Shot Shot sh Shot Show.

609
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 5: Yes, what time did you land last night in Las Vegas?

610
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:17,959
Speaker 5: Eastern time?

611
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 2: Like almost? I mean I got here almost midnight, I think.

612
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

613
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 4: And so I bet this morning because you come on

614
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 4: at nine am out there, but you're getting to the

615
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 4: hotel late after one am whatever. I bet you're pounding

616
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 4: some coffee this morning. I am, indeed pounding some coffee

617
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 4: this morning, because that's not a short flight Miami to

618
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 4: Las Vegas. And I bet Crocketcoffee dot Com is the

619
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 4: coffee that you should be pounding. I got a bunch

620
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: of Crocket gear came in the mail yesterday. My boys

621
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 4: run around in it because at their school they have

622
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 4: a dress code. I don't want to put them on

623
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 4: blast here, but the dress code in the winter allows

624
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 4: them to wear hoodies instead of polo shirts. You know,
