1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Wednesday edition of the Clay Travis 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate you being here. Was quite 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: a speech last night. Some people are saying the greatest 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: speech of all presidential speeches in recent history. For sure, 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: President Trump did a phenomenal job. Clocked in at I 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: think it was over two hours. Definitely was a lengthy one. 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: The President lighting it up, America is back, that was 8 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: at the very top, dawn of the Golden Age, and 9 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: a lot of positivity, a lot of good things going 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: on in this speech. And Clay, we're gonna work through 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: it piece by piece. I just I will start with 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: this assessment. There is both a sense of tremendous optimism 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: and a bulliance on the right about where all of 14 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: this is going. It's been a heck of a first 15 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: month for Trump and then the left, the Democrat seem 16 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: to have nothing other than pouting. I didn't even stay 17 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: up to watch the Alyssa Slotkin rebuttal, I'll tell you 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: the truth. It was late. I had to switch time zones. 19 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm an old man, so I had to check it 20 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: out this morning. I understand that they feel they have 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: to do. I actually don't think they have to do this. 22 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: I think that this is an outdated model. But the 23 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: bigger thing from the Democrats wasn't just the incredibly wimpy response, worthless, 24 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: really forgettable response officially to Trump's address to Congress, but 25 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: the childishness of the Democrats in attendance does deserve some 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: of our attention, because all of you are familiar with 27 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: the massive accomplishments of Trump's first term, of Trump's now 28 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: first month of his second term, and the plans for 29 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: the future are incredibly exciting for those of us who 30 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: want to see this Golden Age unfold, who want to 31 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: see America at its absolute best. Democrats are having a 32 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: tough time with that whole concept. You had one congressman 33 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: have to be escorted out of the chamber. This is 34 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: not a good look. We'll discuss. This is not something 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: that the Democrat Party should be okay with a lot 36 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: of interruptions. They had these little paddles like they were 37 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: at an auction in the audience, and Klay, let's just 38 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: jump with this and you tell me what your biggest, 39 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: biggest feelings were on this. But Trump pointed out early 40 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: on it doesn't even matter what he does at this 41 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: point whether it's ending the Ukraine War or curing cancer. 42 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Democrats are against whatever Trump is for. Trump derangement syndrome 43 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: is in its terminal stage play clip eighteen. 44 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: Here this is my fifth such speech to Congress. And 45 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: once again I look at the Democrats in front of me, 46 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say 47 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: to make them happy or to make them stand, smile 48 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: or applaud. Nothing I can do. 49 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: I could find a cure to the. 50 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: Most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations, 51 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: or announce the answers to the greatest economy and history, 52 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded. 53 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: And these people sitting right here will not clap, will 54 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: not stand, and certainly will not hear for these astronomical achievements. 55 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 2: They won't do it, no matter what five times I've 56 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: been up here. It's very sad, and it just shouldn't 57 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: be this well. 58 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Clay Trump was having fun. 59 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: He was, and I thought it was the best speech 60 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: of his political career. And I don't think that's hyperbole 61 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: much of it. If you strip away the politics really 62 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: boiled down to basic common sense. And I guess my 63 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: biggest takeaway last night, Buck, was Democrats did what they 64 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: would have said was impossible. They made Trump look like 65 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: the adult in the room. I thought they their behavior, 66 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: they looked and sounded like brats. I thought they were 67 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: behaving like poorly, poorly regulated school children. They were adults 68 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: emotionally outbursting their their uh. It just it felt like 69 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party to me, was on a suicidal mission 70 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 3: to destroy its brand. And to me, Buck, there were 71 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 3: a lot of great things Trump did. He's always got 72 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: a real narrative ability to connect, whether it was with 73 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 3: Lake and Riley's mom and sister, whether it was with 74 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 3: Joscelyn Nungerret's mother and announcing that he's going to name 75 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: a wildlife refuge after her, whether it was having the 76 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 3: kid in the crowd that was getting his United States 77 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: Military Academy admission. And I thought, by far the most 78 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: compelling moment of the night the thirteen year old kid 79 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: being named a Secret Service honorary member. Democrats didn't stand 80 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: for any of that, Buck, and I think the reason 81 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 3: why they did not is their brains are broken because 82 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: they're so concerned about being too conciliatory to Trump on 83 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: social media and getting dragged by whatever left wing lunatics 84 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 3: are popular on social media, that they abandoned their basic humanity. 85 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 3: I don't care who you are. When that thirteen year 86 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: old kid who survived brain cancer stood up and gave 87 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: a hug to the Secret Service agent, you should have 88 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 3: almost wanted to cry or cried if you are just 89 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: a basic, normal human being with complete control of the 90 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: normal life. That was a moment where it was hard 91 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 3: to even if you're a guy, where it was hard 92 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: not to feel a bit emotional and buck What stood 93 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: out to me, maybe most of all, I watched that 94 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 3: awful You woke up and watched it this morning, which, 95 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 3: by the way, I think is worse start off your 96 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: morning watching Senator. At least ad some coffee. I had 97 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 3: some Krockea to take care of it. But what is 98 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: the number one criticism that you would have of Trump 99 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: if you were a Democrat? Probably that he oftentimes behaves 100 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 3: in an emotional fashion and isn't always acting like an adult. 101 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: They took the worst criticism they have ever had about Trump, 102 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 3: you know, leave aside the Hitler stuff, but just his 103 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: deportment right, the way he carries himself, and they were 104 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 3: far worse. And I thought, with Slotkin's speech, Buck, we 105 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 3: know Trump has men, men, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic. The 106 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 3: polls are out there, sixty forty approval, fifty seven forty three, 107 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: double digit approval. The younger the men, he's got him 108 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: even more. I thought Trump, actually, Buck really did a 109 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: phenomenal job of connecting with women. And I think there 110 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: were a lot of women out there that if you 111 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 3: had heard from MSNBC or New York Times that this 112 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 3: guy's hitler, they were watching and they kept waiting for 113 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: some awful shoe to drop, and he was phenomenal the 114 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 3: whole way. Last thought, he waited until the very end 115 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: to talk about foreign affairs. I think he spoke for 116 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: the longest ever, one hundred minutes. I think was the 117 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 3: final tally, longer than anyone ever spoke. Probably an hour 118 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: and a half of that was all American focused policies. 119 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: And then at the very end he talked to Ukraine, 120 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: he talked to Middle East. I thought it was a 121 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: home run. I just I don't know that that we 122 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: have seen a better version of Trump than what we 123 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: saw last night. And I think Democrats are starting to 124 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: panic because they have no answer for him. Well, they 125 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: looked pathetic last night, And I really mean that when 126 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: you have somebody who in the very opening is just 127 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: being flagrantly disrespectful to the President of the United staateably 128 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: so yesing, there's nothing you can say about that other 129 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: than he's acting like, you know, a street com a 130 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: community organizer. I mean, he was acting like some guy 131 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: from Code Pink who is shrieking in the back of 132 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 3: a congressional hearing. Except he's a member of Congress and 133 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: this is a joint addressed to Congress. So that's pathetic. 134 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: The little paddles that they held up in the audience 135 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: made them look made them look effeminate and weak and preposterous. 136 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: I mean, the whole thing was an absurdity. 137 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: And on the issue of women in the narrative right 138 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: now and who I think is doing a better job 139 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: or who's in a better position with it, we've discussed this. 140 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: Democrats got a little extra boost for themselves because of 141 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: the fear mongering around abortion in the midterms. Right we 142 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: know that they were able to use that to greater 143 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: effect in the midterms in Biden's first after Biden's first 144 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: couple of years, but now it's gone to the states, 145 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: and Democrat states have incredibly. I was just in Colorado, 146 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: which has a just barbaric abortion law for the state 147 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: of I mean it is all nine months, by the way, 148 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: it's officially all nine months of a pregnancy. But the 149 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: states have been able to do what they should have 150 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: done in the first place from a constitutional perspective, which 151 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: has addressed this issue. And on the other side of it, Democrats, 152 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: and this came up last night specifically, Democrats are the 153 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: ones who keep saying, I want large hairy men to 154 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: be able to play against your high school or college 155 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: aged female athlete, daughter or sister. I want that to 156 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: happen when they have somebody the audience who is a 157 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: female athlete who had brain damage, brain damage from the 158 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: you know, this would be like clay if somebody who 159 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: was twenty was on the football field with a kid 160 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: who's twelve and paralyzed him. I mean, everyone think that 161 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: was a horrible and monstrous thing, right, Like, what are 162 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: you doing as a twenty year old playing well? The 163 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: male female differential isn't that far off from that, especially 164 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: in a contact board, and Democrats are all in that. 165 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: We just saw the Senate Senate Democrats all voting against 166 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: protection for women in sports. So I think actually the 167 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: Republicans have the issue that they can club the other 168 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: side with. They can spike the volleyball in the face 169 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: of the Democrats on this one. They can go after 170 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: them in a way that's far more aggressive. And I 171 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: think that the whole thing is falling apart for Democrats 172 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: Alyssa Slotkin. Does anyone think that Alyssa Slotkin is the 173 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: future of any party? No, she's not. She doesn't have 174 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: the any of the political skills, doesn't have the The 175 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: whole thing is appalling, honestly, And I think that we 176 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: saw last night you got one side that wants America 177 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: to be fantastic and the other side just wants to 178 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: sit and pout and act like children. And if you 179 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: were watching that, and by the way, this is not 180 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: just our take, sixty nine percent of CNN viewers found 181 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Trump's speech to be very favorable, seventy six percent of 182 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: CBS News. All of the numbers rolling in are and 183 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: I just Democrats could have been somewhat reasonable. They could 184 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: have clapped for a thirteen year old cancer patient who survived. 185 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: They could have clapped for Lake and Riley's mom. And sister. 186 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 3: When they were standing, they could have clapped for Joscelyn 187 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 3: Nongaret or the US Military Academy Cadet all which, by 188 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 3: the way, the thirteen year old walked over and gave 189 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 3: him a handshake, which was just perfect and authentic and real. 190 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: And I think, really, what ultimately this comes down to 191 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 3: is Democrats are supremely fake and also the party of 192 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: super old people. Did you notice, Buck, I think I 193 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: was watching Fox News, but when they panned from our 194 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 3: friend Riley Games sitting in the upper deck and they 195 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 3: went straight to Nancy Pelosi and the disconnect as they 196 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: were talking about women and men's sports. The disconnect between 197 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: Riley Games, Eiley Gains, young, effervescent, brave, fearless, and Nancy 198 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: Pelosi sort of vacantly chewing on her gums looking lost, 199 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 3: was I thought, just a perfect epitomization of how lost 200 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 3: Democrats are. We'll continue to break this down because I 201 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: think it was significant. I think it's going to register 202 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: resonate for some time. But last night was an incredible 203 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 3: show of support for our military, firefighters and police officers. 204 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 3: Law and order once again a top priority at the 205 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: border and throughout the country since nine to eleven. The 206 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been supporting America's greatest heroes 207 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 3: and their families. The efforts, now in its twenty fourth year, 208 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 3: to provide forever security to the families of fallen soldiers 209 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 3: and first responders who have lost the loved one in 210 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 3: the line of duty. Heroes like firefighter James Dickman, passionate 211 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 3: about fire safety, aspired to do everything in his power 212 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: to keep his community and fellow firefighters safe. While responding 213 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: to an apartment fire, James and his crew tried to 214 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 3: save people thought to be trapped inside. When the situation escalated, 215 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 3: James wasn't able to escape. He perished in the blazing 216 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: inferno cause the fire Arson James leaves behind his loving 217 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: why Jamie Children page and grant. Tunnel to Towers gave 218 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: the Dickman family the gift of a mortgage free home. 219 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: Jamie is grateful to Tunnel the Towers and to caring 220 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: friends like you for lifting the financial burden of a 221 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 3: mortgage off her shoulders.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. 228 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 3: I thought the most compelling part of the entire speech. 229 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: Secret Service Director Sean Kurrn comes out and gives DJ Daniel, 230 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 3: thirteen year old cancer Rain cancer surviving kid, a hug 231 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 3: after Trump surprised him making him a Secret Service agent. 232 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 3: Listen to this what it sounded like. I'm sure most 233 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: of you were watching, but I thought it was the 234 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 3: most compelling moment of one hundred minute address from Trump. 235 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: Cut twenty. 236 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: The police love him, the police departments love him, and tonight, DJ, 237 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. 238 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Kerrn 239 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: to officially make you an agent of the United States 240 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: Secret Service. 241 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: That was buck for Democrats not to stand leave aside 242 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 3: all politics. There are moments where your common humanity, if 243 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 3: you are not trying to be a monolithic Trump deranged moron, 244 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: would rise to the occasion when a mom is crying 245 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: about the death of her daughter, when you just heard 246 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: all that, a normal person I talk a lot about 247 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: how politicians JBN just be normal. A normal person would 248 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: stand and clap, because that is a uniquely powerful human moment. 249 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: We can share with everybody what an abnormal person does, 250 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: which is what Nicole Wallace did after this. A former Republican, 251 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: mind you, a Bush era Republican who has now sold 252 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: her soul to MSNBC. 253 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: Oh if she got a good price for them, because 254 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: that stock has only been going down. Here she is 255 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: in response to this, this is cut five play it. 256 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 4: I've let myself feel a boy about DJ And I 257 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 4: hope he's alive for another ninety five years, right, And 258 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 4: I hope he lives the life he wants to live. 259 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: He wants to be a cop. 260 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 4: He knows what he wants to do, and maybe when 261 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 4: you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you. And I 262 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 4: hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer. 263 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 4: But I hope he never has to defend the United 264 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 4: States Capital against Donald Trump's supporters. And if he does, 265 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 4: I hope he isn't one of the six who loses 266 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 4: his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one 267 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 4: who has to testify against the people who carried out 268 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald 269 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 4: Trump pardon. 270 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: Those people can't even say the human thing without turning 271 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: it into a political attack, like had to twist it 272 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: right away. 273 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: I just think their brains are broken, and it is 274 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: to respond to that moment by saying I hope he 275 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 3: doesn't commit suicide when he grows up after a January 276 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 3: sixth attack on a capital. I mean, it is just 277 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 3: so dark, and I think that's really kind of the 278 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 3: message that Democrats is they're opposed to everything. I don't 279 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 3: remember them cheering, and some people say, wow, this is 280 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: innately how these sort of addresses go. I don't remember 281 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: an entire political party refusing to stand and clap for 282 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 3: a single line in an entire address like we saw 283 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: last night. And again, I think it played to Trump's 284 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 3: favor because see when CNN and CBS News come out 285 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 3: and say, hey, Trump, sixty nine percent, seventy six percent 286 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 3: approval of the speech. We never see numbers like that, 287 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: even when you think Trump does a good job. Usually 288 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: the numbers immediately come out and they're like forty five percent, 289 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 3: hey died it, forty two percent liked it. You know 290 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 3: what I'm talking about? Every major of any does thirteen 291 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: percent were undecided, whatever the math is, and for them 292 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 3: to come out basically with rave immediate reactions and the 293 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: reverberations on social media, I think are going to continue 294 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 3: to benefit in book. 295 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: Get a new iPhone or whatever you want phone wise 296 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: from Puretalk without any cost to you while switching your 297 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: cell phone service to Puretalk.

Welcome back into 315 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck. So we're talking about Trump's phenomenal speech 316 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: last night. We loved it. The people loved it, and 317 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: I mean the people in the general sense, not just 318 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: Trump voters, but really broadly across the country polling shows, 319 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: the optimism, the brightness, the the dare I say, Trumpian effervescence. 320 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: It was incredible. It was a really well done speech, 321 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: well written, well structured, well delivered. Trump was having fun 322 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: with it too. He is a great showman. He's funny. 323 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: He dealt with the hecklers with all the confidence and 324 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: cool of a stand up comedian, which he does have. 325 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: That he has that you know part of him too. 326 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: I mean, he can just off the cuff be very amusing, 327 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: as we know, it's one of his political superpowers. And 328 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: then there was this which I thought and Clay agreed, 329 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: and we were talking about it before the show. Today 330 00:19:53,359 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: was just a remarkable recitation of government absurdity, and and 331 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: I think Trump did it better than anybody could have imagined, 332 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: just laying it out piece by piece, whether it's trends 333 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: mice or tiny African nations getting a whole lot of 334 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: money for stuff, or here was the list of expenditures 335 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: that DOGE has found and the American people should know about. 336 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: Play it well, sorry, they're going to play it momentarily Clay. 337 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: For me, I thought that that was one of the 338 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: most most memorable, best parts of the whole speech. I 339 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: thought the shout out to Elon Musk wearing a suit, 340 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: by the way, I think you might have seen this 341 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: Zelenski treatment and realize, you know what, for this one, 342 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: Elon could definitely afford a suit. You could afford a 343 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: very nice one. I think that the sense of Democrats 344 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: and this came across with Alyssa Slopkin's response, Oh, we 345 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: agree that fraud and waste are bad. We just don't 346 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: want that to happen. We just don't want to do 347 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: it this one. And to me it's it's they actually 348 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: just don't want to do the cuts. Right. This is 349 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: when one person is trying to fix something and okay, 350 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: now it's ready we got the list. You want to 351 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: play this and then we can read Yeah. Play. This 352 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: is the list of expenditures that Trump went into. 353 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: Just listen to some of the appalling waste. We have 354 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: already identified. Twenty two billion dollars from HHS to provide 355 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: free housing and cars for illegal aliens. Forty five million 356 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 2: dollars for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma, forty 357 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 2: million dollars to improve the social and economic inclusion of 358 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 2: sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. Eight million dollars 359 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: to promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesuto, 360 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 2: which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty million dollars for 361 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 2: indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America. Sixty 362 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: million dollars, eight million dollars for making mice transgender. 363 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: This is real, just. 364 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: An innate sense of timing and how to work a 365 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 3: room buck. And this is where all of those rallies 366 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 3: do come in handy because your point on a Alyssa Slotkin. 367 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: It's tough to follow Trump no matter who you are, 368 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 3: but when you watch her, she's such a boring plotting 369 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 3: read off a teleprompter politician. Even right down it seems fake, 370 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: right even right down to at the opening of her speech, 371 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 3: she took like two steps and then she had the 372 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 3: American flag backdrop. 373 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: And it was so bad. 374 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 3: It was just so bad and predictable and planned, and 375 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: it didn't react to anything that Trump said. And even 376 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 3: Trump calling out Pocahontas. Have you've seen they're trying to 377 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: call it. They're trying to say, this is the most 378 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 3: racist attack that we've ever seen from the rosterrum. And 379 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 3: it's like she lied about being Native American. Making fun 380 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 3: of her for lying about being Native American is not racist. 381 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 3: Claiming that you are a race you are not is 382 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 3: arguably the racism right, But. 383 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: They just don't. 384 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 3: But I don't ever remember this before. What do Democrats 385 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: actually support? Trump laid out something again. I think it's 386 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 3: so important. This speech was not even particularly partisan. Hey, 387 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: we want to spend less money on government. Hey, we 388 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: want peace in Ukraine and in the Middle East. Hey, 389 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 3: we want to keep American citizens safe. We want law 390 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 3: and order. We want to make sure that people who 391 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: are illegally in our country can't come here and when 392 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: they commit violent crimes if they are here, illegally, that 393 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 3: we get them out. Bill Clinton argued in favor of 394 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 3: a lot of this. Buck Barack Obama two thousand and 395 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 3: eight argued in favor of a lot of this. Democrat 396 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 3: brains are so broken that Trump has trapped them by 397 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 3: getting them to oppose things that they used to support 398 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 3: because they are so reflexively anti Trump and they're so 399 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 3: afraid of whatever tiny little cadre of online influencers is 400 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: out there, that they abandon their basic humanity when it 401 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 3: comes to just things like, hey, let's stand in cheer 402 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 3: for people doing good things on behalf of humanity. 403 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: Well, they've also lost in very real ways on some issues, 404 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: and this, for me was one of the most powerful 405 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: Spike the football moments of the whole speech, and it 406 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: was on immigration because Biden and his regime, and Kamla 407 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: of course was the borders are, which is classic because 408 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: then she ends up once the push Grandpa Biden aside 409 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: for his dementia, Kamala comes forward and then they say, oh, no, 410 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: she wasn't really, so they lied about Biden's dementia, and 411 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: then they lie about Kamala being the borders are because 412 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: dementia Biden kicked the border wide open. It was purposeful. 413 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: They wanted this to happen. It is part of the strategy. 414 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: This has cut seventeen President Trump Clay laying out what 415 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: we have seen. This is irrefutable. If Trump is able 416 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: to make the border, illegal border crossings go down ninety 417 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: five percent in the first month. What happened under Biden 418 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: is a choice. It was a choice. It was not 419 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: a natural disaster. It wasn't a hurricane that hit somewhere 420 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: somewhere nobody was expecting. It wasn't oh, we need a 421 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: whole new system to handle this. It was Biden wanted 422 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: it to be so, or the people making the decisions 423 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: for him wanted it to be so. Trump has stopped 424 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: at play. 425 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: Seventeen since taking office, My administration has launched the most 426 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we 427 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded. 428 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: Thank you. 429 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: The media and our friends in. 430 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: The Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. 431 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: We must have. 432 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: Legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that 433 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: all we really needed was a new president. 434 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: All Right, We're good with that. Okay, let's just say Clay. 435 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: It's a great line because it's true and because it's 436 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: yet another huge lie that the media on behalf of 437 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: the Democrats and the Democrat Party were telling us, which was, 438 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: our hands are tied. Sorry, nothing we can do about 439 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: all these illegals pouring into the country. They've betrayed American sovereignty. 440 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: It was an active decision. It was subversion of our borders. 441 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: It wasn't just oh gosh, there's so much chaos. They 442 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: wanted the chaos. They created it. 443 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 3: And a lot of more on Republicans in Congress tried 444 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 3: to give them cover, which I don't think we can forget. Remember, 445 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 3: they were prepared to suddenly sign a bill at the 446 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 3: end of the Biden administration which would have allowed Biden 447 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 3: to argue, maybe truthfully, that Congress needed to act in 448 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 3: order for him to secure the border. I don't mean 449 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 3: that that was true. I mean that if the border 450 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: had gotten secured after Congress acted, Biden could have escaped 451 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 3: responsibility for all of his executive orders by saying I 452 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 3: had to wait till Congress acted to shut down the border. 453 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 3: What Trump did is come in and sign all the 454 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 3: executive orders exactly like he told us. He would like 455 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 3: Tom Homan said he would on this program for years 456 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 3: and immediately the border is completely shut down, and that 457 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 3: is what do we say. This is a three letter 458 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 3: election EBC, economy, border crime. Certainly the border connects to 459 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 3: crime as well. That's taken care of, and now the 460 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 3: Trump focus, in my opinion, should almost exclusively be on 461 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 3: the economy. We've got to get the economy chugging along. 462 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 3: We've got to beat inflation. We've got to get your 463 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 3: average paycheck increasing at a faster rate than inflation. We 464 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 3: got to get prices under control, so every time you 465 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 3: walk out of a grocery store or walk outside of 466 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 3: a fast food restaurant, you aren't shaking your head in 467 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: disbelief over what you just had to pay. That is 468 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 3: the next battle. It is a hard one to win. 469 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 3: It is going to probably take the better part of 470 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 3: the year, but I think Trump economic policies win put 471 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 3: in place, will make a tremendous difference there By the way, 472 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 3: I don't know if we've mentioned this. We're going to 473 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 3: talk with Steven Miller, one of the architects of this dress, 474 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: at the top of the third hour of the program 475 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 3: two o'clock Eastern eleven am on the West Coast, and 476 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 3: Daniel Cameron has announced for the Senate in the state 477 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 3: of Kentucky the battle to replace Mitch McConnell underway.

In fact, 509 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 3: I was kidding with Tommy Laren that she was hosting 510 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 3: the show last night and the last time we did 511 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 3: a show there, Pete Hegseth was hosting, and now he 512 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: is the head of the Defense Department. So Tommy Laren, 513 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 3: in line for a promotion, got back home late, went 514 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 3: to bed, and I had a crazy dream. I dreamed 515 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: that I was in and maybe this is the Hillsdale 516 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: College Continuing Learning ads that were doing. I don't know 517 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 3: how this happened. I dreamed that I was in an 518 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 3: adult Study abroad program, and in that Adult Study abroad program, 519 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 3: I became best friends with Megan Markle, and that we 520 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 3: liked to spend our free time baking together. 521 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: I think this is a nightmare, not a dream, Clay. 522 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: To be clear, this is like I woke up and. 523 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 3: I was like my friend Megan Markle, like, I mean, 524 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 3: why are we not still baking? I legitimately there's a dream. 525 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know that any of you can 526 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: trust any of my opinions anymore. If I'm now dreaming 527 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 3: that I'm gonna be doing adult study classes with Megan 528 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 3: Markele and that we're gonna be buddies, So I just 529 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 3: try to be honest with the audience as much as 530 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 3: I can. Maybe this is connected to me becoming the 531 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 3: greatest flute player in the world. Maybe I'm just really 532 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 3: in touch with my feminine side now. Maybe I'm actually 533 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 3: gay and I just didn't know it. But I don't 534 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 3: know what to say about me becoming best friends with 535 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 3: Megan Markele and an Adult Study abroad program and enjoying baking, 536 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 3: which is you well know, Buck, I've never cooked anything 537 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 3: in my life, So maybe I don't even know how 538 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 3: to explain this. 539 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: I think we're at the full on, multimillion person therapy 540 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: session stage of the show.

This might joined the space. 549 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: I think we can all say it's brave for you 550 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: to share it with me and people listening on five 551 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: hundred stations across the country, plus all of our podcast audience. 552 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: So your fearlessness, Clay, has to be respected, irrespective of 553 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: your flute playing and Meghan markele baking skills. 554 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 3: I know that there is a new Megan Markle baking 555 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 3: show out. I saw Piers Morgan tweeted that he made 556 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: it through ten minutes, so maybe that is also resonating. 557 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 3: I'll also say this, I needed my Crockett coffee this 558 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 3: morning because I had a late night out in downtown 559 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 3: Nashville doing Fox Nation television, and the Crockett coffee is 560 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 3: coming in handy in a huge way.

And White Lotus actually 574 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 3: ridicules a lot of the woke universe. Now, it is 575 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 3: a satirical program, so it is ridiculing lots across the spectrum. 576 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 3: But I actually thought more and more after we talked 577 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 3: about that conversation about the three women in one of 578 00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 3: them voting Trump, is White Lotus actually selling its health 579 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 3: to a left wing audience while coding that is sort 580 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 3: of subtextually actually embracing much of the critique of left 581 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 3: wing audiences and doing it in such a hidden way, 582 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 3: in such a subterranean fashion that a lot of the 583 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 3: white liberals don't realize how much they're being ridiculed by 584 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 3: a show they love. Just an idea out there for 585 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 3: some of you that may want to check this out 586 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 3: and tell me whether or not you think I'm crazy, 587 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,280 Speaker 3: because the more I think about it, that conversation among 588 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 3: those three women did not stand alone, and I do 589 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 3: think it's indicative of the overall larger vibe shift that 590 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 3: we have seen that's making opposing Trump so much more 591 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 3: difficult for Democrats overall. 592 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: They just have no counter narrative. Well, the America that 593 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: we have all been living in until very recently with 594 00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: Trump's win, has been one in which all Democrats believe 595 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: that if they were to go with their best friends 596 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: in the whole world on vacation and find out that 597 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: one of their best friends since they were in college 598 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: or whatever you know of twenty years considered voting for Trump, 599 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: that is a mic drop. Oh my gosh, catastrophe moment, 600 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: whereas Republicans just like whatever, man, let's go to the beach. 601 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: We just don't have that same Well, for one thing, 602 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: I think sense of entitlement and sense of being able 603 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: to determine what other people believe and think, and there 604 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: is a recognition I think now the Democrats have gone 605 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: too far with this stuff even seeping into pop culture. 606 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: Are those we've said, Hopefully the Trump voting mom from Austin, 607 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: Texas on the show you know doesn't storm the capitol 608 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: or something in the last episode. You know, we don't know, 609 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. True, Yeah, who knows. 610 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: There could be a major pivot. 611 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 3: We come back, will continue to break down spectacular address 612 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 3: from Trump. 613 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging
