1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Thursday edition of The Clay Travis and

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show, also known as Clay and Buck Too Many.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Got a lot to discuss with you, the big breaking

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: news that just happened moments ago. Our FK Junior is

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: now your HHS secretary. That's right, cabinet official. A lot

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: of stuff going on with the AHS and the MAHA

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: movement or MAHA. Yes, that's how we say it. Make

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: America healthy again. I see a lot of moms with

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: hats and T shirts across America already make America healthy again.

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Our FK Junior got through. I know for a lot

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: of you that's very, very exciting. Also, we know that

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Tulci Gabbard has gotten through. So Trump is on an

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: unbroken streak of confirmations for top appointees in his administration.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Pete Heggs at that Secretary of Defense, go down the list,

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Cash Betel. That's still pending, but I think that's looking

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: good based on where the various senators are. So we

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: should talk a bit more about what's going on here

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: with RFK Junior, and we will on the program. Just

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 1: note Clay CNN headline vaccine skeptic RFK Junior confirmed his health.

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: Secretary seething over at CNN. I did think this would

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: be one of the tougher ones to get through, in

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: all honesty, and he did get through, So I think

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: the rest are going to be good to go. Just

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: also a little programming note. Today we have the do

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: over of Secretary of the State, sorry, Secretary of State,

26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: the Secretary of the State Department, same idea Secretary of

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio, who is quite busy trying to implement

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Trump policies, to make peace out of war and to

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: make trade deals and bolster relations with our allies, all

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: that good stuff. But he will try to make some

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: time for us later on in the program. We are

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: looking to speak to Secretary Rubio in the third hour

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: of the show. We've also got Senator Ron Johnson who's

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: going to join us talk a bit about DOZE and

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: the cost cutting and the realities they'rein. Democrats, i think,

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: are in a particularly tough spot arguing in favor of waste,

37
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. It's not that they say these some

38
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: of these things are good expenditures. It's just because they've

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: been done in the past, they need to be the

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: same going forward. But One thing, Clay that got a

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: lot of attention after our show finished up yesterday, and

42
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: I think we should dive into here, is that the

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: new Attorney General, speaking of important and powerful cabinet picks

44
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: that Trump has gotten through Pam Bondi of my now

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: home state of Lovely Florida, formerly the AG here, now

46
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: the AG for the whole United States, she made this

47
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: announcement which goes into the it's a different method of

48
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: immigration enforcement coming forward. A new sheriff is indeed in town.

49
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: This is cut one. Listen what Ag Bondi had to say.

50
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: We're here today because we have filed charges against the

51
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: state of New York. We have filed charges against Kathy Hokeel,

52
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: we have filed charges against Letitia James and Mark Schroeder,

53
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: who is with DMV. This is a new DOJ and

54
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: we are taking steps to protect Americans, American citizens and

55
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: Angel moms like the moms standing right behind me, who

56
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: you're going to hear from. In a moment, New York

57
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens.

58
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: It stops.

59
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: It stops today.

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Clay. I'm just going to say it, man, there is

61
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: no way that these Democrats should have been able to

62
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: do what they've been doing up to this point. It

63
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: is obstruction of federal law enforcement that they're engaging it

64
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: in places like New York. Ag BONDI is not going

65
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: to stand for.

66
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, much of the Trump agenda is going to

67
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: come down to courts. And you know, the Wall Street

68
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: Journal I thought, had an actually really good editorial yesterday

69
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: kind of laying out how ridiculous it is to argue

70
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: that there's a constitutional crisis. Presidents have always sought to

71
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: push the bounds of executive authority, and one of the

72
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: presidents who pushed the bounds the most expansively was actually

73
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: Barack Obama, and he got struck down, as we talked

74
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 3: about yesterday Buck a bunch of times by the Supreme Court.

75
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: So did Joe Biden. This is not particularly connected to

76
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: the political party. It's about power, and when you are

77
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 3: the president and you are the chief executive of the nation,

78
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: you want the ability to control and execute as much

79
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: of your power as you possibly can. Because the Senate

80
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: and the House bogged things down. Remember the famous explanation

81
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: about from Thomas Jefferson about how the Senate worked with

82
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 3: the saucers and the idea of being to cool things down.

83
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: It does make Congress and the Senate in particular, it

84
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: very hard to move the United States government very aggressively

85
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: in many different directions. And that can act as a

86
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: check when your party is not in power, and it

87
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: acts as a check when your party is in power.

88
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: And then you also add in the judiciary.

89
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: Which we have whatever it is, two hundred and some

90
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: odd federal district court judges all over the country that

91
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: are acting in many ways as in their minds, the

92
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: referees on the executive powers of the presidency, and you

93
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: have a conflict going on on a regular basis.

94
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: There, But what is typically the law of the land.

95
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: And I said this, Buck, if you remember in the

96
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 3: disputes that Texas was having with Joe Biden over the border,

97
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: I said, I know, it's frustrating now because Texas wants

98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 3: to be able to control Texas borders. But in general,

99
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: the immigration policy is set by the chief executive of

100
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: the United States. It's a federal issue. And you can

101
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: see this in a positive way now, Buck, It's not

102
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: getting any media attention, but Trump has already effectively shut

103
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: down the southern border. Almost no one is coming in

104
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: there are almost no godaways. Ninety some odd percent of

105
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: the influx that was existing under Joe Biden has already

106
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: gone and recognized. There has been no law passed. It's

107
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: all just executive authority from Trump, much like Biden used

108
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: his executive authority to remove the Trump rules. And remember,

109
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: we told you this, but it's important. They tried to

110
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: shift the story to, oh, Congress has to act in

111
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: order for our southern border to be safe. Remember when

112
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: some of the moron Republicans gave Kamala Harris and the

113
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 3: Democrats cover by saying, oh, let's execute a new border bill,

114
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: and then the Democrats went out and argued for the

115
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: entire election season. Oh, the reason the border got wide

116
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: opens because Congress didn't act. No, it was because one

117
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: of the first things Biden did when he got into

118
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: office was reverse the executive orders of Trump.

119
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: The reason I run through all this buck is New

120
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: York is.

121
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: Bound legally to enforce the federal laws of immigration, and

122
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: if they do not, they should be slapped down by

123
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: the courts. This is the reverse of the Texas president.

124
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: New York now should be obligated to act on federal law.

125
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Well, well, new York so they cannot essentially appropriate state

126
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: law enforcements state law enforcement for federal purposes. Right Well,

127
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: what they can't allow what the fence can't allow, and

128
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: this is what goes to is obstruction of federal law

129
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: enforcement by state and local enforcement. Which is a crazy

130
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: thing to even say out loud, because in what area

131
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: of life. I mean a lot of you listening, are

132
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: you know cops in your town or city, maybe your

133
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: state troopers. There's no world in which the FBI is like, hey,

134
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: we're trying to take down a drug trafficker and you,

135
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: as a law enforcement officer, are going whoa, whoa. I'm

136
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to tell him that you guys are coming,

137
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: because that's you know, I don't like what you're doing

138
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: with your drug enforcement policy, Clay. That is exactly what

139
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: the state of New York is doing on illegal immigration.

140
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Jonathan Turley on Fox News, I wanted you all to

141
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: hear this. He laid this out this morning. This isn't

142
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: like right wing talking point. This is the law in

143
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: New York. They tip off criminal illegals to the ice

144
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: interest in them. This is cut to play it.

145
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: I think the federal government has a strong case here,

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: particularly with regard to one of the provisions in that law,

147
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 4: which is a tip off provision. And under the law,

148
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: if the federal government makes an inquiry into a suspected

149
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 4: illegal alien, that person is then notified by New York

150
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 4: and given a heads up, and the fence have said, well.

151
00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: What are you doing.

152
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 4: I mean, we're we're making an inquiry because we may

153
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: want to apprehend this person, and you're giving them a

154
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: chance to abscond. And that's more than refusing to cooperate

155
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: with federal enforcement. That's actually frustrating federal enforcement. So this

156
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 4: is going to trigger a ferocious legal battle.

157
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: Clay, He's right, obstruction, obstruct. Think about that, they're obstructing

158
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: federal law as a matter of state law in New York.

159
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean, really, for those of you out

160
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 3: there who are following this, it's not only obstructing federal law,

161
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: it is actively trying to prevent the enforcement of federal

162
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: law with state resources, which is a flagrant constitutional violation.

163
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 3: And I give credit to Pambondi for speaking out on this.

164
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: I would take the next step and Cashptel, by the way,

165
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: has been cleared out of committee and is soon going

166
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: to be as the FBI director confirmed, it appears as

167
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: soon as he gets into AWE, there should be a

168
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: full fledged investigation into leaks that are taking place that

169
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: are allowing individuals who would otherwise have been captured to

170
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: know that these federal raids are coming, and there should

171
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: be prosecutions because you can't allow anyone in the United

172
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: States to be tipping off bad guys, violent criminals that

173
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: there is going to be a raid and trying to

174
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: clear out the areas in advance, which are reports of

175
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: what has been occurring. The individuals who are involved in

176
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: giving those tips should be, in my opinion, buck prosecuted

177
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: to the full extent of the law. And I would

178
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: mobilize a cadre of actually capable FBI agents if I

179
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: were cash Betel, to begin that investigation almost immediately as

180
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: soon as he gets into office.

181
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: And once again, it's similar in this sense to what

182
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: we're seeing with DOGE. But the more the American people

183
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: know about the truth of where the Democrats and the

184
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: Democrat apparatus stands on illegal immigration, the more horrified they are.

185
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean that there are states where it is as

186
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: a matter of law, these different agencies, police agencies will

187
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: tell somebody, Hey, the Feds want to know if you're

188
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: where you are and if you're an illegal. And there

189
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: are even cases where the Feds say, and this is

190
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say cases, this is a matter of law

191
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: as well if you're arrested. This is what led to

192
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: the Lake and Riley situation, right, I mean, this is

193
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: the refusal of law enforcement to cooperate with federal law

194
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: enforcement results in horrible things happening. Because ICE will say, hey,

195
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: you have that guy that's wanted for sexual assault in

196
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: New York City. He's also an illegal. Can you just

197
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: hold on to him until we come to pick him up?

198
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: On any other area of criminal law, the answer would

199
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: be you would assume, yeah, of course, you know, we will.

200
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: And they specifically try to expedite them clay through the

201
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: system so that ICE can't get there in time. They

202
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: are playing they're playing the NYPD. I'm sorry, it's true,

203
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: they're forced to do this, but they are doing this

204
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: and others LAPD. They play high the illegal from ICE

205
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: and enough is enough and this new ag is not

206
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: having it. Yeah, I mean, look, the.

207
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: This is a big part of what the resistance to

208
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: Trump is going to look like, not only in courts,

209
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: but in state governments and prepare yourself for this. Gavin Newsom,

210
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: remember immediately raised money to fight Trump. You remember that

211
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: that was one of his first actions. And then the

212
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: wildfires in La happened and he got kneecapped, and now

213
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: he's not really a very viable political candidate. In the meantime,

214
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: someone in state government is going to pick a massive

215
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: fight with Donald Trump to try to elevate themselves as

216
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: the new face of the Democrat Party. You should be

217
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 3: prepared for it now. Kathy Hokeel is a moron. Letitia

218
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 3: James has been trying to bring down Trump forever. I imagine

219
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 3: she'll continue her fight, but I don't think either woman

220
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 3: has major national appeal.

221
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: JB.

222
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: Pritzker is too much of a fat guy. Gretchen Whitmer

223
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: I would put out there. Maybe Shapiro, except that Trump

224
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: won his state and I think he recognizes that fighting

225
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: with Trump is a bad political move.

226
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: So I'm starting to think like someone's going to emerge,

227
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: that we're not even thinking that someone's gonna emerge. We're

228
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: not even considering right now. And I like your analysis

229
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: that it could just be a famous Democrat. It's going

230
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: to be a famous position it's gonna be a famous person,

231
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: not a politician. They view it as to beat Trump,

232
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: you got to be more like Trump in those in

233
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: that regard. So I think that's coming. I think that's

234
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: totally true. I think that's where we're headed. We'll talk

235
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: more about this in the meantime. You guys have been

236
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: signing up for these like crazy. We've been meeting with

237
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: the owner of rapid radios. Buck saw them out at

238
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: the gun show. I saw them at the super Bowl.

239
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: We saw them at the inauguration.

240
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: These guys have been everywhere because they want to get

241
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 3: the word out about how fabulous rapid radios are. Look,

242
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: do you have something to rely on if much of

243
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: the cell phone network in your community goes down. There's

244
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: only a couple of years ago in my hometown of Nashville.

245
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: Do you guys remember when the guy blew himself up

246
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: on Second Avenue in Nashville right by the cell phone

247
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: networks and knocked out the cell phone networks in Nashville.

248
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: Four days, you couldn't have any communication. We talked about

249
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: Buck's sister in law in Ashville. After the catastrophic Hurricane

250
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: Helen flooding took out many of the many of the

251
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: cell phone networks. You can have these walkie talkies. They

252
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: are nationwide. The charges can last for five days. We've

253
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: got them charged in my house in the event that

254
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: something went wrong, we want to be able to communicate meantime.

255
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: Maybe you got young kids, maybe you got parents that

256
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: aren't really played again on using a cell phone. Maybe

257
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 3: you don't want your kids on a cell phone network

258
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: because of what they can get on on the internet.

259
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: Check out Rapid Radios. They're cool, they're really efficient effective.

260
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: Maybe you remember playing with radios back when you're a kid.

Speaker 3: I think we just need to have some fun here

279
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: for again. I know that many of you out there

280
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: feel like we do every single day where Man, it

281
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: was just such a long, hard slog during the entire

282
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: Biden era, and now we have just hit the ground

283
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: running to such an extent that we've never seen anything

284
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: like this. Every one of Trump's nominees Buck that went

285
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: to a hearing is going to be confirmed. Even by

286
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:46,359
Speaker 3: the standards of past administrations. This is incredible competence, discipline,

287
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 3: and action by the Republican majority. Now then we come back,

288
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: we can tee off a little bit on Mitch McConnell,

289
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: who just seems to be an embittered, jaded old man.

290
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: He was the only person to vote against RFK Junior.

291
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: What's your read on that.

292
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: You know he's really old. It feels like his staffers

293
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: are almost the ones making the decisions for him at

294
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: this point, and he should have he should have retired,

295
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: and he's going to retire soon. So you know, I

296
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: don't know how worked up about it I can. Really

297
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. This is, you know, his deal, and

298
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: he's not going to be around in the Senate much longer.

299
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: So I don't get as worked up about it as

300
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: some just because it didn't change anything, and I don't

301
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: think that we're going to have that much more Mitch

302
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: McConnell senate maneuvering to worry about.

303
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of Senate maneuvering, did you see who may be

304
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: eyeing a Senate seat in the great state of Minnesota?

305
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Tina Smith Buck. We'll talk about this.

306
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 3: Some is not running for re election as the sitting

307
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 3: Democrat senator there.

308
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: Tim Walls now says that he made okay. I was like,

309
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, Tim Walls is he may even

310
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: go national Buck for real. Not to be confused with

311
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,760

314
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: The only problem with going to Bear Creek Arsenal's website

315
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,320

Speaker 1: and Buck. So we are looking at what Doze is

329
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: up to. And one thing we've been telling you is

330
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: that the Democrats are caught flat footed. They have no

331
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: real response and actually, in some ways as they try

332
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: to attack the efforts of Trump, Elon Musk and their team.

333
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: As they do this, they expose themselves even more and

334
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: really make the situation even worse for themselves in the

335
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: eyes of the public, because this is stuff that should

336
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: not be happening. It's not Oh, we like it because

337
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: of the following, and they don't like it because of

338
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: the following. This isn't you know, arguing whether the tax

339
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: rate should be thirty eight percent or forty percent at

340
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: the top end or whatever. This is. You shouldn't pay

341
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: money to people the federal government doesn't owe money to you.

342
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: Shouldn't you know, send Medicare payments millions, tens of millions,

343
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars to people who aren't actually

344
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: doing Medicare procedures, right, I mean? Or or this is

345
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff where you've got overseas scammers play.

346
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: Elon's alluded to this a few times. Who are getting

347
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: paid by the federal government. Do you want Belarusian scammers

348
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: to be getting millions of dollars from Medicare? I don't,

349
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: does anyone? It's so straightforward, and I bring it up

350
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: because we tell you this, you know it is true,

351
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: and in fact, it is so obviously true that even

352
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: some of the pods save bros from the Obama era,

353
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: or at least one of them willing to come forward

354
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: and say, look, the truth is Democrats should have done

355
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 1: some of this stuff. We need to own up to this.

356
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: Play six, Trump is like he is moving so fast.

357
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: They are doing a lot, not just the perception of it.

358
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: They hit the ground running in a serious way. It's

359
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: like genuinely impressive. Impressive in a dark and sinister way,

360
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: but it's nonetheless impressive. You may not like all of it,

361
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: but like in comparison how to how people felt about

362
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: Joe Biden being basically absent. I imagine for a lot

363
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: of people it's a welcome change. And honestly, some of

364
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: this is pretty annoying because it's some of the stuff

365
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: we should have done. Yeah, yeah, no, no, you could do

366
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: some of this. That's two points really being neither one

367
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: is that they what we're telling you is not like

368
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: raw rab put on the pomp poms for Trump, but

369
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, cover up what's really No. No, everybody sees

370
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: this and goes, oh my gosh, this is an incredible

371
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: first few weeks of action and activity from Trump. Part one,

372
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: Part two. Clay, Yeah, any political party had this issue,

373
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: if they had wanted any politician, any movement could have said,

374
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: let's stop lighting the taxpayer's money on fire, and Democrats

375
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: are in a position where they're going no, keep the

376
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: fire going.

377
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: I saw yesterday that Democrats had a press conference to

378
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: argue that it was time for reparations to be paid,

379
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: and Buck, I am not sure that we have ever

380
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: seen a political party light itself on fire like we

381
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 3: are seeing the Democrat Party light itself on fire right now.

382
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 3: It's not only that Trump is winning, it's that he's

383
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 3: taking issues by and large that seventy five or eighty

384
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 3: percent of Americans are on the side of advocating for them,

385
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: and Democrats, because they are reflexively anti Trump, are automatically

386
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: taking the opposite side from him. Just think about this

387
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: in general. Pretend that you are apolitical. Who's in favor

388
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 3: of waste and fraud in the federal government, who's in

389
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 3: favor and feels like federal employees are not being treated fairly?

390
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 3: When Elon Musk and Trump say hey, you got to

391
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: show up in the office five days a week and

392
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 3: they throw fits, who's in favor of dudes putting on

393
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 3: women's swimming suits and winning women's swimming championships? Trump is

394
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: just in acting a common sense pro America policy, who's

395
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: in favor of violent criminals illegally in the country being

396
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 3: allowed to stay here. The legacy media buck has lost

397
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: its ability to define Trump as outside the mainstream.

398
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: But also I would argue.

399
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 3: Trump is profoundly in the mainstream, just executing a solidly

400
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: rational American First agenda, and even look at the people

401
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 3: that he's bringing in as his allies. I want to

402
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: keep hammering this. I might say it every day now

403
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: because Elon Musk get gets crushed every day.

404
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: Elon voted for Biden.

405
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: The idea that you're going to turn Elon Musk into

406
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 3: some sort of crazy right wing fascist. He voted against

407
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 3: Trump twice and didn't endorse him till seven months ago.

408
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: But you know what, I don't even think the people

409
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: that are so pathetic right now that they're saying that

410
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: believe it. I think that it is just the It's

411
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: the equivalent of a kid in the first grade calling

412
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: another kid a stupid head because he doesn't like him.

413
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: They just don't have anything to say, they don't have

414
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: a response.

415
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: But I do think there are a lot of people

416
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 3: out there that might be susceptible to that argument because

417
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 3: they are just conditioned to pay attention to what people

418
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 3: argue against Trump. And so I think this is important

419
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 3: for some of you out there who have friends and

420
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 3: family that might be persuadable to when they say, oh,

421
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: you know, you might be sitting around, I don't know

422
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 3: this weekend, you're kicking it with your friends and family

423
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: and somebody says, you know, can you.

424
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: Believe what Elon's doing? Say?

425
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, Elon voted for Biden and didn't endorse Trump.

426
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: Total he got up and said fight, fight, fight after

427
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: he took a bullet to the year. All Elon's trying

428
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: to do is make the government more efficient. He's not

429
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 3: a particularly partisan figure.

430
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: You could argue that. I think the history record would

431
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: bear this out very clearly. I mean, Donald Trump was

432
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: really a lifelong moderate New York Democrat. Yeah, when the

433
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: Republican Party, I'm sorry, when the Democrat Party went insane,

434
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: He's like, Okay, to save the country, you got to

435
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: be a Republican and Vohila, now you have him in

436
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: his second term. So I think that this is a

437
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: major part of the overall political narrative that this country

438
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: has has gone through. I'm just going back to the

439
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: dollars and cents here of what's going on and what

440
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: kind of fraud is being unearthed. Again, you've brought in

441
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: somebody outside of government service to come work with the

442
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: government for free, to do things that no reasonable person

443
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: could oppose in terms of ending you know, the fraudulent

444
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: government payments. I you know, what kind of system do

445
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: we have of it? While that's going on, there's a

446
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: lot more actually that that is going to be unearthed

447
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: and this is going to get It's not like this

448
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: is a one day issue. This is a special service

449
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: is Lexus Lexus Nexus Special Services. Heywood Talcove CEO talking

450
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: about implementing robust ID verification. This was at a hearing

451
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: that they were having in front of the DOGE Subcommittee,

452
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: and he says, implementing robust ID verification in federal, state

453
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: and local could save out of the out of the

454
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: entitlement budget a trillion with a t a trillion dollars

455
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: play ten.

456
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 3: How much money do you calculate is wasted due to waste, fraud,

457
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: and abuse in the entitlement programs each year?

458
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, my number right now between federal, state and local

459
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 5: government is you can save one trillion dollars a year

460
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 5: by simply putting in front end identity verification, eliminating self certification,

461
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 5: and monitoring the back end of the programs that are

462
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 5: providing the benefits.

463
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 1: Those three things, basic, basic analysis and security procedures of

464
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: where the money is going for entitlements in this country

465
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: could save a trillion dollars a year of false or

466
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: fraudulent payments. I think that's a trillion With a tea everybody,

467
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: no matter what's going on, that's a lot of money. Buck.

468
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: I couldn't stop thinking after we did the show yesterday

469
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: about the fact that we have employment files kept in

470
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: a mind and they can't process more.

471
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: If I do, they ride bicycles around the mind because

472
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: it's so big. There's photos that people riding bicycles with

473
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: the paper in their hands so you can retire from

474
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: the federal government two hundred feet underground.

475
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe this was all real. So I've just

476
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: been reading more and more about it. I don't and

477
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: if you missed yesterday, Ewon said, basically, we can't process

478
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 3: more is it ten thousand a week because all the

479
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: files are oh, ten thousand retirements a month because all

480
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: the files are kept in a bunker two hundred some

481
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: odd feet underground. I can't believe that we could have

482
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 3: a system like this, and I completely buy and I'm

483
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 3: sure Elon is looking at this because you know, every

484
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: one of you who works at a for profit corporation,

485
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 3: the goal, basically, once your company gets to be a

486
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: decent size is, hey, can we get ten percent better

487
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: every year? Now, you'd like to grow faster and bigger

488
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: and get better. And when you're a young company, you

489
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 3: can grow far and faster than that. All those things right,

490
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: But you're constantly looking for inefficiencies to chip away at

491
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: in order to make yourself more efficient. Buck, you and

492
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: I on the call yesterday with your brother Mason, who's

493
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: doing a fabulous job running Crockett Coffee. He's constantly looking

494
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,719
Speaker 3: at the margins so that we can make coffee more

495
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: affordable for all of you as coffee prices are going

496
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: up as packaging costs. We're all trying to run a

497
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: super efficient business. I did it at out kickback in

498
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: the day. Any of you who run a small business,

499
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 3: nobody's ever done this in government for hundreds of years,

500
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: by and large, no one has ever come in and said, hey,

501
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: let's try to apply business principles to the federal government

502
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 3: so that all of our trillions of dollars that you,

503
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 3: me and all of us pay in is being efficiently

504
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: allocated and utilized to give the best possible results. I

505
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: saw a great quote from Steve Bannon. We're thirty six

506
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 3: trillion dollars in debt. When you look around at the

507
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: things that the government does in this country, does it

508
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: feel to you like we are being run in a

509
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: way that thirty six trillion dollars could have been run

510
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: up as a deficit? Do you feel like we are

511
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: moving at fiber optic speed in our federal government, in

512
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: our in our in the way that it's operating. When

513
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: I hear about the minds and the way you process retirements,

514
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: I can't believe that those systems would even exist.

515
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Well, didn't they have a under the previous administration? I might.

516
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember the on the fly. The team

517
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: will fact check me, because we always want to tell

518
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: you the obviously the right fact. I think they spent

519
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: forty billion dollars play on electric vehicle charging stations. It

520
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: was like a Buddha Judge Biden initiative, and they didn't

521
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: build a single charging station. Yeah, it's it's almost hard

522
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: to comprehend how the government and the Democrat statists that

523
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: run the bureaucracy are able to waste so much money.

524
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you can do. Similar with

525
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: California and the train to you know, the train to

526
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: nowhere that they're building right at the high speed rail debacle.

527
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: How do they waste so much money? Well, when you

528
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: start to look, you find out you pay contractors for

529
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: twenty years who had a six month contract. That's how

530
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: you you know, how do you run up thirty six

531
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: trillion dollars of debt? Yeah, of course there's expenses, there's Medicare,

532
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: there's Medicaid, but a lot of that shouldn't be paid

533
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: out because of the fraud. Also because of deipolicies. You

534
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: don't even go to the cheapest bill.

535
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: You have to take a woman owned business, or you

536
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: have to take a minority owned business. And by the way,

537
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: here's a little look behind the curtain. Do you know

538
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: how that stuff's often set up? Some guy has his

539
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 3: wife as the principle on a construction or subcontracting business.

540
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: That I know some of.

541
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: Y'all out there are construct subcontractors and contractors, and you're like, Clay,

542
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: be quiet.

543
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: Your wife is on as the principal.

544
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: Somebody who is a minority, that is one of your

545
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 3: business partners, has put at the top of the ledger

546
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: and you get to inflate your profit margin because of

547
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: the naw I'm blowing them up.

548
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: They know it's true. They I know, y'all, I know

549
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: how it works. There's a guy on actually on TikTok,

550
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: his head on his nicky cass and he does this

551
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: whole thing. He's kind kind of has a bit of

552
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: like a I love you Long Island. I'm not throwing

553
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: shade kind of a Long Island accident, but he plays

554
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: a contractor and he's like, he's like, oh man, He's like,

555
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: it is this thing here. It is two inches to the left.

556
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: This is a fifty dollars job. Fifty dollars job two

557
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: inches to the left. But because of the the wire

558
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: crossing the other sub subwire here, it's gonna cost you

559
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: fifty grand I can't you know? You know this whole thing.

560
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: And I was like, everyone, we love you contractors too.

561
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: But some contractors get a little creative with the billing.

562
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys.

563
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 3: There are so many wives that have been at the

564
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: top of companies that couldn't tell you what. You know,

565
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: the cost of concrete is that own concrete companies. And

566
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 3: there's a lot of dudes who were business partners and

567
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: they're like, hey, there's no way I'm gonna get this contract.

568
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: But you know we're buddies. If I put you on

569
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: the top, you're a minority, your bid is gonna be higher.

570
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 3: We're gonna have a higher profit margin. And who cares.

571
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: There's a lot of that that's been going on for

572
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: a long time.

573
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: Buck, And you know, I'm going through a bit of

574
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: a journey right now, my friends, and it is to

575
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: get back in shape journey. I had gone through life

576
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: always pretty pretty athletic. I wouldn't say super fit, but

577
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: athletic enough able to get around. I used to run

578
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: road races in the CIA. I was very lean, and

579
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm getting I got a little too ahead

580
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: of myself, dad bod before I even became a dad.

581
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: So what did I want to do about this? I

582
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: got it on a regiment. Now, of course, that means

583
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: I exercise, got to track your macro's calories, got to

584
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: get those steps up. But also proper supplementation really helps.
