1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. And as

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: we were discussing a couple of things going on right now.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: One is our friend Caroline Levitt. The White House Press

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: is kicking off her first press gathering, you know, first

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: press briefing, So that was the word I was looking for, briefing.

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: So that's going on right now, and we will bring

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: you the highlights of it. I think, Clay, I'm making

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: a prediction here in real time. I could be wrong,

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: but probably not that they're not going to be particularly

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: ferocious in that press room today because I mean, look

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: at the media right now. Sad, sad. They are not

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: in a position to throw their weight around. A couple

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: of other things that are on the near horizon. We have

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: RFK Junior's confirmation on Capitol Hill. Senators going to be

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: sitting there doing their thing tomorrow, and I believe Thursday,

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: we have Cash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard, so the HHS secretary,

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: the FBI director, and the Director of National Intelligence the

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: DNI all to be voted on play. Do you think

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: all three get through? Speaking of predictions, I do. I

20
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: do think all three get through. And if they don't,

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: that the two that I think are most in peril

22
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: are Robert F. Kennedy Junior and Tulsi Gabbard and Buck.

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: The crazy thing about that is they were Democrats. It

24
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: sold just a couple of years ago, so they'll be

25
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: getting shot down by unless. I mean, this is a

26
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: question for you.

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: If we had a truly honest political class, wouldn't at

28
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: least a few Democrats have to support Tulsi Gabbard and

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: or RFK Junior, considering that both were Democrats up until

30
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: about six months ago.

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: I think some will.

32
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: I think Tulsi will get some Democrat votes, and if

33
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 2: that's true, then I think they'll definitely get I'll both

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: get through. But I just question whether they might hate

35
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: Trump so much that they see it as a wound

36
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: to him to oppose even former Democrats that he's trying

37
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: to put in his cabinet.

38
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me because I think that RFK may

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: create the most fireworks up on Capitol Hill. Possibly not

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: that he is like that, but I mean, I think

41
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: that there'll be some staunch opposition from some Democrats. They'll

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: try to make a scene about it. I think that

43
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: the one that they should be the most. I hope

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: the Democrats are not listening. The one they should be

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: the most worried about, in my mind, is probably Cash,

46
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: just because Cash knows what they've been up to in

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: the DOJ. Cash knows about the weaponization of government and

48
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. So I think that he'll get through.

49
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: But they'll try to create some issues there. Anyway, we

50
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: will bring that to you. I will be on the air,

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: I think, because that's all going on tomorrow the next day,

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: so we'll bring you the highlights of that, the things

53
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: you need to know about. But I agree with Clay.

54
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: I think all three will get through. A couple they

55
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: may be close votes, but I think all three will

56
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: get through. Look Pete, Hegseth, and we didn't mention this.

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: JD vance had to be the tiebreaker, and JD tweeted

58
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: that he thought he was done voting in the Senate

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: when he took this new job. But turns out he

60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: was needed to be the tiebreaker for Pete, who's hit

61
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: the ground running over at the Pentagon. Yes, sir, just

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: you know I like to look at these markets. Cholsey

63
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Gabbard on the poly market gambling markets is now an

64
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: underdog to be confirmed again forty eight percent, basically saying

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: it's a coin flip, but two million dollars bet cash

66
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: basically going to sail through. I actually thought that Cash

67
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: might be the one that would end up getting way.

68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: More opposition than he had as everybody else RFK Junior

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: seventy five percent gambling chance of being confirmed. But Tulsi

70
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: now has slipped below fifty to fifty. So that would suggest,

71
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: at least based on people who are trying to read

72
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: the room and put money out there, that what I

73
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: said might happen Buck, which is a couple of Republicans

74
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: might bail on her and then no Democrat support, which

75
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: is crazy Buck, because she ran for president as a

76
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: Democrat in twenty twenty, and she was a congresswoman from

77
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: Hawaii for a fairly substantial amount of time, and now

78
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: Trump wants to put her as a part of his

79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: cabinet at in a very important role, and every Democrat

80
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: is going to oppose her potentially based on these odds

81
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: because they're just trying to score political points against Trump.

82
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty staggering, honestly. Yeah, So we'll see how they

83
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: actually go with all of these. I'm interesting that the

84
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: interesting to me that Tulci Gabbard's the one that's I

85
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: also always have in the back of my mind the

86
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: rule that the more the Democrats, especially somebody like an

87
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff, you know, those kinds of Democrats, the more

88
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: the Democrats hate a Republican, the more necessary and clear

89
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: it is that this is who we should have, right,

90
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: the ones that they get upset about. I mean, I'm

91
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: sure Ratcliffe is a good guy, but you had, like

92
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: everybody vote for him to be CIA director. I'm not

93
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: sensing there's gonna be a lot of shaking or rattling

94
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: of the cage over there. Tulci has d and I

95
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's all this opposition. Me makes

96
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: me think that's better. So we will follow all that

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: for you, and we'll also bringing here shortly if there's

98
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: any interesting exchanges with Caroline Levitt. Gosh, I remember what

99
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: Caroline was like, the youngest person ever run for Congress.

100
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: We were having her on this show. Remember she's running

101
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: up in New Hampshire. She explained Grantite's granite state Grantite

102
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: staters to us. I did not know that that was

103
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: a thing. And now she's White House Press Secretary. What

104
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: an arc a career arc she has had. We're very,

105
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: very proud of her, if I may say so. Now

106
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: back to the immigration issue, MSNBC hosts Alex Witt, I

107
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: love this clay because I want people to know just

108
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: how unrepentant these libs are about all the all the

109
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: propaganda they engage in, all the things they do. Here

110
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: she is correcting Priya Stridar. I don't know, I've never

111
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: seen her before. She sounds like me trying to pronounce

112
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: the name, by the way, But I think I think

113
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: I hit it. I think I nailed it. I think

114
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: I stuck the landing. But Priya Sridhar used the term

115
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: illegal alien, and the MSNBC host corrected her play it.

116
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: I want you guys to take a look at this

117
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: video that we saw just this morning from the DEA

118
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: ATF and Homeland Security investigators out of the Rocky Mountain

119
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: Division in Colorado. There you can see a raid that

120
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: was conducted this morning. They say that they were targeting

121
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: event as will in gang and they were able to

122
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: see cash, sees, cash weapons and actually made an arrest

123
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: of quote fifty illegal aliens right there.

124
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: Ali, yep, we call them undocumented immigrants, but that again

125
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: was in the release from the DEEA oh, hold on

126
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: a second, we call them undocumented immigrants. The official legal

127
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: term now, thank you, President Trump, is once again, as

128
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: it was for our entire adult lives until Biden came along,

129
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: illegal alien. So Clay, what is this now? Now? The

130
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: legal term is not what the the anchor on the

131
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: news channel is going to use undocumented. Also, is that

132
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: that's like the third iteration. Remember it was just you know,

133
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: it was just illegal immigrants, and.

134
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: You're seeing this is actually I think significant, Buck, because

135
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: it in many ways is indicative of what they're trying

136
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: to do to attack the deportations that Trump is putting

137
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: in place, which so far have been a violent criminals.

138
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: Have you seen a lot of the headlines now are

139
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: trying to say that Trump is deporting immigrants. They're not

140
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: even saying that they are illegal immigrants. There is I

141
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: think a concerted ft to create panic among the legal

142
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: immigrant population of the United States such that they are

143
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: supposed to feel like they may be targeted by these raids,

144
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: and I think it's very intentional. And the policing of

145
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: language like you just heard on MSNBC, how antiquated. Does

146
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: that start to feel We're going to talk about it

147
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: a little bit later, but I feel like some organizations

148
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: out there are still living in the BLM summer of

149
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Do you remember everybody out there, how suddenly

150
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: every company that you've ever done business with was emailing

151
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: you about how much they thought black lives matter. I

152
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: remember we got an email from our cat litter company,

153
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: and I remember my wife just walking in, like, I

154
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: don't freaking And it was not freaking that she said,

155
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 2: but like, I don't freaking care what my cat litter

156
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: company thinks about anything in America other than whether my

157
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: cat litter is going to show up scheduled for the cats.

158
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: And I think many of you out there had that

159
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: same reaction as every single company felt compelled to email you.

160
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: And probably whatever company you went to UH and you

161
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: worked at, you probably had brand new HR briefings and

162
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: everything else. And there's a couple of entities out there

163
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: that are refusing to kind of acknowledge that that era

164
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: was a mistake and we're moving into a new era.

165
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: And the MSNBC's of the world are like that, Look,

166
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: I love Costco. Have you seen Costco right now? Is

167
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: saying why we're going to be from Costco a minute ago.

168
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: I hate to say this, Costco is my favorite place

169
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: to shop in America. I'm not sure that I go

170
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: anywhere else to shop in America, but that's why it's

171
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: my favorite. It was just there this weekend. Costco is

172
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: one of the few companies that's saying, hey, we're not

173
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: going to change our DEI policies at all, And many

174
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: different groups out there are saying to Costco, what in

175
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: the world are you talking about? Why wouldn't you acknowledge

176
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: that many of these DEI policies. I give credit to

177
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: the University of Michigan buck huge article. They did a

178
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: huge investigation. They spent two hundred and fifty million dollars

179
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: I think it was on DEI at the University of Michigan.

180
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: They discovered that doing DEI actually makes people more racist

181
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: because it alienates and identity politics stratifies so many different

182
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: groups that everyone ends up more racist than they were

183
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: before they started DEI. So, whatever you think of DEI

184
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: as it has been applied, it is actually divided and

185
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: created more racism than would have existed if it had

186
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: not existed at all, which I think you and I

187
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: would expect because what it does is it creates this

188
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: illusion when you're starting about microaggressions. It creates this idea

189
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: that people don't get along and that you should think

190
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: about race before you think about anything else, when in reality,

191
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: most people just treat humans like humans. And anyway, the

192
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: fact that it's now collapsing everywhere is I think a

193
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: really strong sign of reality coming back. But there are

194
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: still places like MSNBC that are staying committed to that

195
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 2: what I would say summer of twenty twenty ideal that

196
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: they tried to to basically take over the country with

197
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: when BLM protests were ascended.

198
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Language circling back to the msmec anchor correcting the reporter

199
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: language that we use matters. I was going to say, also,

200
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: migrant has become the term now even more than undocumented

201
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: that we're all supposed to use. When you don't call

202
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: someone an illegal alien, you are inherently conceding something that

203
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: you shouldn't in the discussion, which is that they have

204
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: done something, they have committed a crime. Look, not illegal aliens,

205
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: Not all bad people, get it right, There are a

206
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: lot of them, very nice, very hard working. But by

207
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: changing the language, that doesn't mean they should be able

208
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: to stand in the country. Though. By changing the language,

209
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: you change the terms of the debate, and that is

210
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: something that they're going to continue to do as this

211
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: rolls on play because I think the more that people

212
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: learn about what's really gone on with the illegal invasion

213
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: of the country, the more upset a lot of Americans

214
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: are going to be whencause they've been lied to by

215
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: their own media about it for thirty years now. Basically

216
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: it's been always the numbers are less than what the

217
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: numbers actually are. The reality of the cost, the reality

218
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: of the social cost, not just financial costs that you know,

219
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: whether it's all the emergency rooms dealing with illegals, or

220
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: English is the second language expense in school systems, all

221
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: these things that are going on. Mostly wondered, what do

222
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: you think Trump is going to come forward with? Why

223
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: isn't English to the national language? Great question? Where's the

224
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: executive order on English should be the national language of

225
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: the United States? Stop? And I know that that's an

226
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: argument I would love to have. That's a debate. Every

227
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: every ballot measure, every everything should be in English. That's it.

228
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: No doing this in fifteen different languae. Have you ever

229
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: oh of course not. You know, lived never lived in

230
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: New York. Play the ballots in New York City. If

231
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: I gave them to you, yeah, you'd get like English Spanish. Friends,

232
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: You'd see you flip it over. You're like, what is that?

233
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't have no idea. Is is it Taie? Is

234
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: it Swahili? I have no idea what these languages are?

235
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: In the back like why why should you be able

236
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: as an American to cast a vote that affects the

237
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: destiny of all of us if you don't speak the

238
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: language that we all communicate in daily across the country,

239
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: and you know this is a problem for me. I

240
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: don't understand why this isn't something that gets more focused.

241
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I might have to bring this up with the Trump team. TONALDA.

242
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: Towers Foundation gave the Chaffins family the gift of a

243
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: mortgage free home. Police officer and CANON handler Jacob Chaffins

244
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: was fatally shot while attempting to serve warrants for domestic

245
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: violence offenses. Jacob had a deep passion for helping others

246
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: and making a difference in his community. His passion for

247
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: his family, community, and his first responder family will always

248
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: be remembered. Jacob's wife, Savannah and his little daughter Paisley

249
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: long for her father's hugs and kisses. But Savanna and

250
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Paisley are so grateful for the kindness of friends like you.

Speaker 1: Through Tunnel to Towers, the loss and hardship of heroes

252

Speaker 1: like Jacob is being turned into hope for their families.

253
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: There's so much more to do to say thank you

254
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: to our nation's heroes and their families for their immense

255

263
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck sc Show. We are

264
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: going to give you some of the cuts from our

265
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: friend White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, including coming out

266
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: straight off the top and addressing New Jersey drones, which

267
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: so many people had been concerned about.

268
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: We'll get to some of those clips uploaded.

269
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: Just wants you to know that she has been doing

270
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: the press briefing, replacing at long last Karine Jean Pierre,

271
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: and already starting to answer some questions. Also want to

272
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: give some congratulations to Sean Duffy, who now replaces Mayor

273
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: Pete as the Transportation secretary.

274
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: That is a major upgrade.

275
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: I would argue, Transportation secretary is a little bit like

276
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: being an official buck. If you get recognized, it's probably

277
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: a bad sign. Most of the time, we don't know

278
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: who the Transportation Secretary was. So much was bad and

279
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: screwed up and awful during the by in term that

280
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: we all knew about Mayor Pete, particularly when he was

281
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: on his paternity leave when we had the worst supply

282
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: chain crisis in basically American history. Yes, he was on

283
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: paternity leave, even though he's married to a man, and

284
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: neither one of them actually had the baby, which is

285
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: its own story in and of itself. Remember they climbed

286
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: into bed together, the birthing bed, to have their picture

287
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: taken with the baby. I still can't believe that picture

288
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: is real. But Mayor Pete now Buck, and we may

289
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: talk to our friend Tudor Dixon who's part of the

290
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: Clay and Buck podcast network. Mayor Pete is rumored to

291
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: be the top contending Democrat to take over and run

292
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: for Senate in Michigan. He and his husband have relocated

293
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: to northern Michigan, and that feels almost like a setup

294
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: that they knew that seat was going to open up.

295
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: He's no longer in South Bend, Indiana, in the state

296
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: of Indiana, where he could never win a race statewide.

297
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: He's now in Michigan, and there is talk that he's

298
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: going to run for the Senate as the replacement. If

299
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 2: you didn't know, Senator Gary Peters from Michigan has announced

300
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: he's not going to run going forward. That's something to

301
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: keep an eye on.

302
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Mayor Pete is somebody who could win

303
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: an election in Michigan. I don't know that. I think

304
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: it's a great question. I hope he runs, because I

305
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: don't think he'll win, because he has never He's somebody

306
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: that the media loves and the voters do not, and

307
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: that has been hit a story of his political He

308
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. I know, I know, Clay.

309
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: I think you could be the mayor of South Bend, Indiana.

310
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: If you wanted tomorrow like, just show up and say

311
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm Clay Travis, make me your mayor lovely town. I'm

312
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: just saying, it's not that many people.

313
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: It would be embarrassing if I couldn't get elected the

314
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Maybe it's super left wing

315
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: and maybe they wouldn't like me for that reason. But

316
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: it's not a coincidence that he left Indiana and suddenly

317
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: showed up in Michigan and now they're talking, Oh, he's

318
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 2: going to run for Senate.

319
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,359

Speaker 1: Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We're getting some interesting

339
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: breaking news coming out of the right now Live Press

340
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: Secretary briefing in the West Wing of the White House,

341
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: Caroline Levett the one running that we will bring you

342
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: some of it in a moment. Here is the teas

343
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: for all of you. We know about the drones. Now

344
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: we've gotten an answer on the drones. We've gotten some

345
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: answers on some other things as well, including illegal immigration.

346
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: But this is now going to be, I think a

347
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: staple of the news cycle for a while, a Clay

348
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Press briefings where one we will actually get information. I

349
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: feel like so much of the Karine Jean Pierre time

350
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: in the West Wing was just telling us things that

351
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: first of all, wasn't always true, which I know they'll

352
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: say that about the Trump spokesperson as well, but also

353
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: so much of it was about hiding Biden, and so

354
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: you had, you know, Trump handles a lot of the

355
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: big stuff himself. Trump goes forward and does briefing. After briefing,

356
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: takes questions. He's funny, he's laying it out there. He's

357
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: talking policy. The access that we shall have to Trump,

358
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: that everybody will have to Trump compared to what they

359
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: saw before with Biden. I think is going to be

360
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: a huge change that we'll all notice. So the White

361
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: House Press Secretary can focus on the day to day

362
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: of policy and everything else. Okay, we've got here the drones.

363
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: Remember that was the big story across the country. This

364
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: is cut thirty one. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt

365
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: on the drones.

366
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 5: Your answer is, after research and study, the drones that

367
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 5: were flying over New Jersey and large numbers were authorized

368
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 5: to be flown by the FAA for research and various

369
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobby, recreational

370
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 5: and private individuals that enjoy flying jones. In meantime, in time,

371
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 5: it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.

372
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: Basically said, it was nothing to see here. A little

373
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: bit of public hysteria over this clay. That's what the

374
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: White House Press secretary is telling us.

375
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: I appreciate addressing us directly. Trump said he would look

376
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: into it. I did on this show. I think we

377
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: discussed Buck that some people, as soon as the hysteria started,

378
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: were definitely going to put their drones up in the sky,

379
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: more likely than before, to just create a little bit

380
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: of mayhem.

381
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm just going to toss it out there.

382
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of teenagers and twenty somethings

383
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: that are particularly adept at using drones, and as soon

384
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: as all the chaos started, there's a little bit of

385
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: mayem a foot with that. So it doesn't surprise me

386
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: that that would increase. Do you buy it? Do you

387
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: think this was entirely normal activity?

388
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: I do. I thought this all along. I'm also the

389
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: guy who tells you there's gonna be nothing interesting the

390
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: JFK files, and I'm going to be right about that too,

391
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: just telling you all right now, putting the marker down. Oh, Buck,

392
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: but what about your deep state blah blah. No, I

393
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: am correct, there's gonna be nothing.

394
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 2: On Let me say I agree with you on that,

395
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: just because the government is not going to incriminate itself

396
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: in government files, correct, which is you know, this is

397
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: what everyone's gonna say.

398
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Well, of course, when the just remark my words, when

399
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: the JFK files are released, every's gonna say, well, of

400
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: course there's nothing in there. They would never put it

401
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: down on paper. It's like, Okay, well that's what I'm

402
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna say. Just for the record, That's exactly what I'm

403
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: gonna say. I am going to be the voice of

404
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: every man that Buck just gave you. That's gonna be me.

405
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna say.

406
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: I do think there's gonna be some revelations in the

407
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: MLK files that are gonna make a lot of people. Again,

408
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 2: I just don't think that most people know what a

409
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: what's the right word, serial philanderer that the MLK was.

410
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: It has been a it has been a national pastime

411
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: in America to turn Martin Luther King Junior into a

412
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: civil saint, if you will. And this does not you know,

413
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: this is separate from the righteousness of the civil rights

414
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: movement itself. This is just you know, people, and a

415
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: lot of people will say this about their favorite politician too.

416
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: It's not about are they perfect it's about are they

417
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: doing the things that I need them to do that

418
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: are the best for the country. But yes, I think

419
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: some of the MLK stuff that comes out maybe uh not.

420
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: Not be it's gonna make Let me put it this way, Buck,

421
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: I actually think I'm cautiously optimistic that we have moved

422
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: through the Oh, you can't celebrate anyone because they also

423
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: have flaws, sometimes big ones in their past, and therefore

424
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: you can't celebrate their accomplishments. I think MLK is going

425
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: to make it really hard to cut after Thomas Jefferson

426
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: and George Washington and other people for things in their backgrounds,

427
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: because he is going to have a lot of skeletons

428
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: in his closet on a personal level, to your percenting,

429
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: doesn't distract from what he accomplished.

430
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: Right, Well, what you're saying is true for someone like

431
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: you who approaches this with with with a principle in mind.

432
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: For a lot of people that they just like two standards,

433
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: so they could say, well, MLK is perfect and he's

434
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: a saint and Thomas Jefferson was horrible and own slave.

435
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: You know, this is not going to change their areas.

436
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: It's actually going to be even worse than that, Buck,

437
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 2: it's going to be. I think you're gonna hear this

438
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 2: is an attempt by the Trump administration to tear down

439
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: a black civil rights hero by tarnishing his legacy and

440
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: sharing more of.

441
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: The historical record. That's the argument.

442
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 2: That's what the al Sharptons of the world are gonna say,

443
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: That's what the Jesse Jacksons of the world are gonna say.

444
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: Just preparing you, I actually think to your point, for

445
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: anybody who is a principled student of history, I use

446
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: this an example of what Taylor Branch America and the

447
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: King Year incredible trilogy he wrote, and he just paraphrasing

448
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: told me directly when when he was criticized for writing

449
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: about a lot of these things in his books, he said,

450
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: imagine what you with no flaws in your background, should

451
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: be capable of accomplishing, given what Martin Luther King accomplished

452
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,239
Speaker 2: with all of these flaws. And it's a really good

453
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: way to push it back on other people, because we're

454
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: all flawed. And I'm cautiously optimistic that we're coming through

455
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: what I would call the puritanical era of history where

456
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 2: you have to pretend that because somebody screwed something up

457
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: in their life that they're not worthy of lionization. And

458
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: if we all acknowledge that all of us are screwed up,

459
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: but we can still accomplish great things, then I think

460
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 2: we're in a better place historically.

461
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: But we'll see how I think we are. I think

462
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: we are for four years. We'll see what happens after that.

463
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: You know, the empire will strike back at some point.

464
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: But let's get back to Caroline Levity here for a second.

465
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: So Clay, we actually haven't discussed this yet. This is

466
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: getting a lot of attention, certainly inside of these See

467
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: the White House has paused all federal grants right now.

468
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: This was as of this morning Washington Post reporting White

469
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: House Budget Office ordering a pause to all grants and

470
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: loans dispersed by the federal government. According to an internal

471
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: eight internal memo sent to agencies, two page document, Acting

472
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: Director of White House OMB instructs federal agencies to temporarily

473
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: pause all activities related to obligations or disbursement of all

474
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: federal financial assistance. So Caroline Levitt addressed this just now

475
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: in the press conference. Here's what this is. Cut thirty

476
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: play it.

477
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 5: The reason for this is to ensure that every penny

478
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 5: that is going out the door is not conflicting with

479
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 5: the executive orders and actions that this president has taken.

480
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 5: So what does this pause mean. It means no more

481
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 5: funding for illegal DEI programs. It means no more funding

482
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 5: for the Green New scam that has cost American taxpayers

483
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 5: tens of billions of dollars. It means no more funding

484
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 5: for transgenderism and woe across our federal bureaucracy and agencies.

485
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 5: No more funding for Green New Deal social engineering policies. Again,

486
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 5: people who are receiving individual ass assistance, you will continue

487
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 5: to receive that President Trump is looking out for you

488
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 5: by issuing this pause, because he is being good steward

489
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 5: of your taxpayer dollars.

490
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: I think the more people find out clay about the

491
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: kind of money that's being distributed and without anyone even

492
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: paying attention from the federal government again, the better it

493
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: will be for those of us who say, hold on

494
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: a second, what's going on here? Because people have no

495
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: idea how their money is being wasted, and it is

496
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: the public's money, I think so.

497
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: And this is why one of the big battles out

498
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 2: there is going to be how much discretionary funding is

499
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: actually available when we come back.

500
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: Buck.

501
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt also went off on what will happen if

502
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 2: you enter the country illegally again. She is making her

503
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: first White House statement as the Press secretary, A big

504
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: upgrade there from Koreem's Jean Pierre. Remember, Karine Jean Pierre

505
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: refused to let John Kirby. According to reports, Buck come

506
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: out on her final day at the White House Press

507
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: Secretary to talk about the deal in ceasefire in Gaza

508
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: because she didn't want the attention taken away from her.

509
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: Just to kind of contextualize this, this is a story.

510
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 2: We didn't talk about it because it was going into

511
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: the weekend. I think when the ceasefire was taken care of.

512
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: I believe the final White House Press briefing was on

513
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: a Friday, maybe it was a Thursday, and John Kirby

514
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: requested the ability to come out and brief the White

515
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: House Press Corps on that deal which was going to

516
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: lead to the return of hostages and a ceasefire in Gaza,

517
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: and reports our Karine Jean Pierre would not allow him

518
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: to share the rostrum with her because she wanted all

519
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: the attention on her as the gay Black Press secretary

520
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: to go out in a blaze of what she continued

521
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: to considered to be glory, and I don't know they talked.

522
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: About what she's going to do going forward.

523
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: Jinsaki immediately stepped in and took a job at MSNBC.

524
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: I don't know that we know what the expectation here

525
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: is for Karine Jean Pierre coming forward.

526
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that a little bit more.

527
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: I just mentioned that the biggest battleground state in twenty

528
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: twenty six might well be the state of Michigan, and

529
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: that happens to be the state where our friends at

530
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: Rapid Radios are based. We went out to lunch with

531
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: them up in dcse. Guys have built a great business.

532
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: It's taken off, they said. You guys are responding unlike

533
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: anything they've ever seen by a set of Rapid Radio

534
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: walkie talkies. They're game changers, particularly when there's natural disasters

535
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: or disruptions of some magnitude out there that make talking

536
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: on your cell phones not as reliable. With one button,

537
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: you can connect instantly to family and friends all over

538
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: the country. Somebody out there in Maine can talk to

539
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: somebody in California. They work on a nationwide LTE network.

540
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: Great technology, easy to use, whether it's for important connections

541
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: or just staying in touch with kids or aging. Parents

542
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: might not like complicated cell phones. Have I got young kids,

543
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't want them to have access to a

544
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: smartphone because of what they can get into.

545
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: But all of us, I bet remember back.

546
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: In the day when you might be running around outside,

547
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: when kids used to go outside and play. I remember

548
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: we had walkie talkies. They were old school, they didn't

549
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: work that great, but we thought they were the coolest

550
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: thing ever. Maybe your kids would like to be able

551
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: to play with these in the yard. Maybe they'll actually

552
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: get outside in the house and interact with their friends.

553
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,320

00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: of you hanging out with us.

567
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: Buck.

568
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm watching Caroline Levitt's White House Press Briefing

569
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 2: and we're going to play some more cuts of that

570
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: for you in the third hour. But I cannot impress

571
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: upon you how fabulous of a job she is doing,

572
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: particularly compared to the person Karine Jean Pierre that she

573
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: just replaced. And it is staggering how well she is

574
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: advocating for the president.

575
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: I knew she would do a good job.

576
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: This first White House Press briefing has been really staggeringly

577
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 2: well done, and we're going to play some of those

578
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: cuts for you. I think she is going to become

579
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: a superstar. And remember what we had her on four

580
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: years ago on this program when she was running for

581
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: Congress as a twenty six year old in New Hampshire.

582
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: She lost a there in a toss up district. She

583
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: is the youngest White House Press secretary ever. We've had

584
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 2: her on this show a lot over the years. We'll

585
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 2: have her on again. We told you we thought she

586
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: would do a good job. She's hitting a complete home

587
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: run in her inaugural White House Press briefing that is

588
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: just taking place while we've been live on the air

589
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: with all of you.

590
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she's been doing a phenomenal job. I

591
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: knew she would. We had said before she became the

592
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary that she would be the best

593
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: I think, the best role, or that would be the

594
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: job for her. So I'm not surprised at all by it.

595
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: And I think she's also very much ready to take

596
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: on the Democrats in that press briefing room. I think

597
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: they're going to be particularly they're gonna have a challenging

598
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: time with her. They're not going to be able to

599
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: rattle her. And I also think I've just never seen

600
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: the Democrats so completely ideologically neutered as they are right now.

601
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't know what they think they

602
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: stand for. I don't know who their leaders are. It is.

603
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like this before. Maybe after Obama

604
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: won in you know, two thousand and nine, early on

605
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: the Republicans were in this kind of a position, but

606
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: it feels like that, it feels like they are just

607
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: they got they got nothing. And the people that Trump

608
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: is putting into these roles are particularly media savvy, Whether

609
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: it's Pete or it's Toulsi, or it's Cash or it's Caroline.

610
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: Caroline obviously has to be that's her job. But everyone

611
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: that he's putting in, they'll be able to take on

612
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: the press and be able to handle any hostile questioning

613
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: from Congress easily. Two things.

614
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: One, I don't think Trump would have had anywhere near

615
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: as good of a team around him if he had

616
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: been re elected in twenty twenty. I think that being

617
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: in the wilderness for those four years showed him who

618
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: was tough and who was able to do the jobs

619
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: in a way that he didn't know in seventeen. Second

620
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: part of this buck Trump winning re election in twenty

621
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: twenty would have been a very newter Trump, given that

622
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 2: he would not have had control of the House, may

623
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: not have had control of the Senate. I think part

624
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: of the panic that you're seeing set in on the

625
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: Democrat side, as it pertains to opposition, is they don't

626
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 2: control anything, and I think they've been stunned at the

627
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: rapidity with which Trump has moved to enact so many

628
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: of his policies. And this is a credit, I think,

629
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: to a large extent Stephen Miller, who basically has the flood,

630
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: the zone perspective in play do everything all at once,

631
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: and they don't really have any idea how to respond,

632
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 2: And I think that's one reason we're seeing so much

633
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: immediate success. By the way, speaking of success, most successful

Speaker 2: on Friday night. We didn't play it yesterday of Stephen A. Smith,

659
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: who's probably the most prominent ESPN employee, and he says

660
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: in a sense that he regrets voting for Kamala Harris.

661
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: Do you buy it or do you think there are

662
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: a lot of false converts that are now pretending that

663
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 2: they are somewhere near being willing.

664
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: To jump on the Trump train.

665
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,400

666
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: out there, are they going to bail? How deep is

667
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: the change, how substantial is the coalition of new Trump supporters,

668
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: and how committed are some of those people to the cause.
