1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Our two of Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show starts 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: right now. My name is Sean Parnell, combat Fat New 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: York Times bestselling author, humble servant of America, folks. 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 2: At the tail end of our. 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: One, I told you about my theory about Democrats and 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: Republicans and how I don't envy any Republican that would 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: take the mantle of speaker. I told you about how 8 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats are a party of they the people, and 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: Republicans are party of we the people, as the founders intended, 10 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, because you actually care about what the founder 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: said and the Constitution and things like that. But I digress. 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: We've got to talk about the parliamentary process and procedure, 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: which on its face, as I speak, probably doesn't sound 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: that exciting to you, but it is. And you need 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: to know about what's on deck and what you need 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: to be tracking this Friday. So here is this situation 17 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: with House Speaker Mike Johnson. The new Congress convenes at 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: noon Eastern Standard time on January third, two thousand and 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: twenty five, and Mike Johnson, Republican from Louisiana, Mike, I say, 20 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: might struggle to secure the speaker's gavel because the House 21 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: of Representatives has a very very razor thin majority. See, 22 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: there is a thing for the Speaker of the House, 23 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: the majority requirements. So what that means is that the 24 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: speaker must win an outright majority of votes from members 25 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: voting for a specific candidate. So, in other words, a 26 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: simple plurality won't suffice. So think back to Kevin McCarthy, 27 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: and it came Jeffreys. Kevin McCarthy was getting, you know, 28 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: two fifty teen, Hakim Jeffries was getting two fourteen. 29 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: Folks. 30 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: That ain't gonna cut it because you need to have 31 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: an outright majority of members in the House of Representatives. 32 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: So the current House composition, and here is why this matters, 33 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty four members in the United States 34 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: House of Representatives with one vacancy. After Matt Gates, Republican 35 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: from Florida, resigned to pursue an attorney general role that 36 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: ultimately didn't work out, he pulled his name from consideration 37 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: to be the attorney general in Trump's forthcoming cabinet. We've 38 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: got a couple of pending resignations as well. We've got 39 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: Representative Mike Walls, Republican in Florida and Representative Elise Stefonic, 40 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: Republican in New York. So Mike Walls is President Trump's 41 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: incoming National security advisor, Elise Stefonic as Ambassador to the 42 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: United Nations. Both are a Trump appointees that are expected 43 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: to resign but have not yet gone through Senate confirmation 44 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: once they are confirmed by the United States Senate, which 45 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: confirmation for or swearing in for United States Senate happens 46 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: on January third. But once Stephanic and Waltz are confirmed, 47 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: they too are expected to resign, thereby reducing the GOP 48 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: majority to two seventeen to two fourteen. So you can 49 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: see we're trending in the wrong direction here. So let 50 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: me throw this voting scenario out there. If four Republicans 51 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: vote against Johnson, and right now, Representative Sparts and Representative 52 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Massey have already said they could very ease of mass 53 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: He's definitely said he's voting for somebody else. With Sparts 54 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: right now, she's a big question mark on Speaker Johnson. 55 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: So right there, you got two Republicans already committed to 56 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: US might voting against Speaker Johnson. So if four Republicans 57 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: vote against Speaker Johnson and all Democrats back Hakeem Jefferies, 58 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: which is the case because remember they're the party of 59 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: They the people of the Borg. They never break ranks. 60 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: The vote would then be two fifteen to two fourteen, 61 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: not meeting the majority number that is two hundred and eighteen. 62 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: That's the majority threshold. And if that happens, that leads 63 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: to a deadlock without a speaker of the House. And 64 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: by the way, if there is a deadlock, the House 65 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: is then compelled procedurally compelled to vote again and again 66 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: and again and again until a speaker gets a majority 67 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: of the vote. So without a speaker, the House is 68 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: completely paralyzed. The House cannot swear in new members, the 69 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: House cannot pass any legislation. The House can't form committees 70 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: or put committee chairs in place. It essentially freezes all 71 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: congressional operations. And I hope right now that you're ready 72 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: for this one. Let's talk about electoral College certification. The 73 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: responsible for certifying the electoral college vote on January sixth, 74 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: which could be delayed without a speaker, which would then 75 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: in turn affect the presidential transition. So there's some brief 76 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: historical contexts. The House has rarely needed multiple ballots for 77 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: a speaker, with the longest election in eighteen fifty six, 78 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: requiring one hundred and thirty three ballots over two months. 79 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: So you see that there could be in an unprecedented 80 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: constitutional crisis on the horizon because if no speaker is 81 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: elected by January twentieth, and Biden and Harris, guess what, 82 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: they're exiting stage right. Biden doesn't know he's exiting, but 83 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: he's exiting stage right. Biden and Harris are out. Trump 84 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: and JD. Vance cannot be sworn in because their election 85 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: was never certified. So then chaane of command goes to 86 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. But there's no Speaker of the 87 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: House because there's been no speaker elected. So then the 88 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: number fourth in the chain of command is the Senate 89 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: pro temp President pro Temp, who right now is a 90 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: Democrat Senator named Patty Murray, but when the new Senate 91 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: is sworn in on January third becomes a man called 92 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: ninety one year old Senator Chuck Grassley. So Senator Chuck 93 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: Grassley could become acting president if Republicans can't get their 94 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: act together and promptly elect a speaker. So this situation 95 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: highlights the dire need, in my humble opinion, to elect 96 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: a speaker promptly to both avoid government paralysis, but more 97 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: than that, uphold the constitutional duties of swearing in the 98 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: incoming President Donald J. 99 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: Trump. 100 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: The reason why this matters is because we only have 101 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: two years of a guaranteed, guaranteed Republican control of Congress. Folks, 102 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: Trump won a historic mandate, He won the electoral College, 103 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: he won the popular vote. We control the United States 104 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: House of Representatives, we control the United States Senate right now, 105 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: two years until midterms. And if history has told us anything, 106 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: it's that midterms can be tough for the party that 107 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: holds the White House, which of course is Republicans. So 108 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: we have two years to bring about bold sweeping America. 109 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: First change two years to the staffers and Republican members 110 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: of the House who might be listening, or incoming Republican 111 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Senators who might be listening. My message to you all 112 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: is let's not squander it in fighting. If we say, 113 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: regarding President Trump's cabinet picks that the president, any president, 114 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican, is entitled to his cabinet, to his advisors, 115 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: should we then also apply that logic to Speaker of 116 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: the House, President Trump endorsed Speaker Mike Johnson. And while listen, 117 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: I know many of you have questions about Speaker Mike Johnson, 118 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: and I am not making excuses for anything about him 119 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: or decisions made in the past. I will say he 120 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: was thrust into an imperfect situation, stepped in for Kevin McCarthy, 121 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: then newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson, was not able to 122 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: appoint any members of his committee, wasn't able to really 123 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: form his own team. He was left for former Speaker 124 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: of the House Kevin McCarthy's team, and did the best 125 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: he could with what he had, even though yes, there 126 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: are definitely some questionable decisions in there. I put forth 127 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 1: to you America that who else. 128 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: The vote is this Friday. 129 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: There hasn't been a single Republican who's come forward that 130 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: would be a consensus candidate that would have every single 131 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: Republican vote on day one. And guess what, President Trump 132 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: endorsed Speaker Mike Johnson. Jim Jordan, who's also had his 133 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: name in the running, has endorsed Mike Johnson. So, while imperfect, 134 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: I am putting forth to all of you that we 135 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: should in we should get behind Speaker Mike Johnson. And 136 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: the reason for that is because the Democrats, they really 137 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: truly are the real threat to democracy, as they say 138 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: democracy TM. Of course, everybody listening probably screaming right now 139 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: saying Sean, we don't live in a democracy, we live 140 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: in a republic, and you would be right. I'm just 141 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: saying democracy TM as the Democrats would say it. I 142 00:09:54,520 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: have always said that November fourth, the January twentieth scares 143 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: me a lot because you have Biden in the White 144 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: House and animated corpse who doesn't even know who he is. 145 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: The White House staff dips him in the Lazareth pit 146 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: every single day, in each and every day, the Lazarus 147 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: pit is less and less effective. You have Kamala Harris, who, somehow, 148 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: despite being a top of the ticket for president, is 149 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: less articulate than Joe Biden. We have people behind the 150 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: scenes making decisions for both of them while Trump and 151 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: JD vance. While they've certainly stepped into the role of 152 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: acting president and vice president, they don't control any levers 153 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: of power. 154 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: Yet. 155 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: The reason why this matters, and reason why this is 156 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: dangerous is that the Democrats haven't really learned any lesson 157 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: this from the Daily Mail. President Biden is furious at 158 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: Attorney General Merrick Garland regrets choosing him after the prosecution 159 00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: of Trump slowed down ahead of election. Democrats leave that 160 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: if the Justice Department moved faster on Trump allegedly trying 161 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: to overturn the twenty twenty election in mishandling classified documents, 162 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: the incoming president might have faced trial before the recent election, 163 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: ultimately damaging his political career. 164 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: Moved too slow. 165 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: Federal January sixth case four counts, election case in Georgia, 166 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: ten counts related to the efforts to reverse the twenty 167 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: twenty election in Georgia. I don't believe that he actually 168 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: did that, but I'm just reading what the news says. 169 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: Here Classified documents case forty counts, Manhattan hush money case 170 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: thirty four counts. They tried to put President Trump in 171 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: jail for life. They tried to use the power of 172 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: government to steal his business. They tried to use the 173 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: Department of Justice to smear his name and crush his legacy. 174 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: They and here's Biden not learning a single lesson, saying 175 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: that we just didn't move fast enough. And so this 176 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: is why I say that this is a dangerous time 177 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: because the Damna saying, look, if you don't like the 178 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: term the deeps, deep state, fine in trench bureaucracy, the blob, 179 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: unelected bureaucrats, folks that you didn't vote for, Folks that 180 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: I didn't vote for. 181 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: Right now they're. 182 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: Plotting on how to undermine President Trump's presidency. And right 183 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: now they plan on using Congress to openly thwart the 184 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: will of the American people. So while Republicans seem poised 185 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: to infight, I put forth to all of you America 186 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: and any Republican member of Congress who would be listening. 187 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: The Dems, while you infight, are working over time to 188 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: sabotage incoming President Trump's administration. And he has a mandate 189 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: given to him on behalf of the American people to 190 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: bring about sweeping America first change. Let's not get in 191 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: the way of that fighting each other. We're talking a 192 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: little bit more about this and the threat that Democrats 193 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: post to democracy TM as they refer to it. And 194 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: when we come back, you're just joining us. My name 195 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: is Sean Parnell. You're thinking that doesn't sound like Clay 196 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: and Buck, would you be right. I'm in the chair 197 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: for Clay and Buck today. Stick with us talk about 198 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: the Democrats being the threat to democracy when we come 199 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: right back, Welcome back to the Clay and Buck Show. 200 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: I'm Sean Parnell. I'm in the chair for Clay and Buck. 201 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: I've been talking about how the Democrats are a threat 202 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: to democracy. They always have been, if they haven't shown 203 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: you that by now since Trump came down the Golden 204 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: escalator in twenty fifteen. First of all, I know that 205 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: you all are woken up to that threat. But the 206 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: fact is they are working overtime right now to sabotage 207 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: President Trump's agenda, and they're trying to use Congress to 208 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: openly thwart the will of the American people. So while 209 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: Republicans might be in fighting about a speaker, the Democrats 210 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: are working over time. I'm telling you that an imperfect 211 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: speaker who already has a vast majority of votes is 212 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: better than fighting for weeks while the Democrats plot employed 213 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: under Trump. Look at this headline from the Hill. Congress 214 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: has the power to block Trump from taking office, but 215 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: lawmakers must act now. The article goes on the Constitution 216 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: provides that an oath breaking insurrectionist jeez kind of biased 217 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: right there, is ineligible to be President. This is the 218 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: plain warding of Section three of the fourteenth Amendment to 219 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: the Constitution. No person shall hold any office, civil or 220 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: military under the United States or any other state, who 221 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: havn't previously taken an oath to support the Constitution of 222 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or remem 223 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah. It's the 224 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: same old stuff. Can we talk about January sixth here 225 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,119 Speaker 1: for a second. I watched January sixth unfold on television. 226 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, how this is gosh. Rioting is terrible, 227 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,479 Speaker 1: But really what it was was a mostly peaceful protest. 228 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: But I don't like the term insurrection. And moreover, I mean, 229 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: it definitely was not an insurrection. I've seen insurrections before. 230 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: They're terrible, They're horrible, their bloody. But this is curious 231 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: how the Democrats rolled out the insurrection term two days 232 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: after it happened. It's almost as if they were planning 233 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: this Fourteenth Amendment argument from the very beginning. 234 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: But I digress. 235 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: This isn't just Sean Parnell talking about the Democrats and 236 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: maybe some offhand op ed contributor to the Hill talking 237 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: about not swearing in Trump. Listen to Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat, 238 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: Member of Congress. 239 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 3: What got be put into the constitution can slip away 240 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: from you very quickly. And the greatest example going on 241 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 3: right now before our very eyes is section three of 242 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: the fourteenth Amendment, which they're just disappearing with the magic 243 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 3: wand as if it doesn't exist, even though it could 244 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 3: not be clearer what it's stating. And so you know, 245 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 3: they want to kick it to Congress. So it's going 246 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: to be up to us on January sixth, twenty twenty 247 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: five to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified 248 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 3: and then we need bodyguards for every and you can 249 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 3: go war conditions. All. 250 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that ain't me saying it, that's Raskin saying it. 251 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: President President Trump won the electoral College. He has a mandate. 252 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: We should embrace that mandate and get on board. Brian 253 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: Dean Wright on the other side of this break one 254 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: of the smartest guys in the world, Stay right there 255 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: in your chair. 256 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: Got a lot for Brian Dean Wright. 257 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: On the other end, we are rocking and rolling here 258 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: on the Clay and Bucks Show. My name is Sean 259 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: Parnell in the chair for Clay and Buck. It's an 260 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: honor to be here, folks. We've got an amazing guy 261 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: on deck for you. His name is Brian Dean Wright. 262 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: He's a good friend of mine. He's a former CIA 263 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: operations officer. He's the host of an amazing daily podcast 264 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: called The Right Report Daily Podcast. It's your own personal 265 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: presidential daily brief. It's about twenty five minutes every single morning. 266 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: You should definitely go subscribe to it. Brian's also a 267 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: former Democrat turned America First, so we love his perspective. 268 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: Without further my friend, Brian Dean Wright, welcome to the show. 269 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 4: Always a pleasure start. 270 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: Okay, thank you for being here, my friends. So this 271 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: New York Post headline, you and I talked about it 272 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: a little bit. It's titled this Fed's finally released photos 273 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: showing then VP Biden meeting Sun Hunters China business partners 274 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: days before he leaves office. Well, my first thought were, gee, 275 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: thanks Fed's for finally releasing these photos. Now as the 276 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: animated corpse makes his way out of the White House, 277 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: my friend, Brian Dean Wright, what say you about the 278 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: Biden family crime syndicate? 279 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 4: Well, look for the past four years. What's important to 280 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 4: remember is that this man and his family had been 281 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 4: in power that had been passing laws and getting stuffed through. 282 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 4: Do we all have to live with so two questions. One, 283 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 4: who's really the puppet master here at CBS News said 284 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 4: here just a couple of days ago, the most underreported 285 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: story for them for CBS with the fact that Joe 286 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 4: Biden has clear dementia or clear talk native decline, Well, 287 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 4: actually that's been going on for now four plus years, 288 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 4: so don't really put pulling the puppet strings here. That 289 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 4: really is relevant and important because we're all living with 290 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 4: his America. Second, what did he do or promise to 291 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 4: people around the world to in terms of doing different 292 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 4: things from in terms of policies based on these corruption 293 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 4: very document to clear cases of corruption. That I think 294 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 4: is why this story is still relevant. That's why I 295 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 4: think we're gonna have to still live with it. The 296 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: policies are still in place that he and his Congress 297 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 4: have passed through, and God only knows what he and 298 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 4: his family have done to put this country at risk. 299 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 4: And that's why the hunter Biden laptop demonstrates, I think 300 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 4: with these pictures continuing to show. Do we need more 301 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 4: evidence of that? No, it's always nice to have a 302 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 4: little bit extra to really rough it in the nose 303 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 4: out of his party, to say you all are a 304 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 4: bunch of lying frauds and you know it for four 305 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 4: plus years. So that's why this story is still relevant 306 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 4: for me, and I sure hope that the Department of 307 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 4: Justice and the FBI continue to look into this stuff, 308 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 4: because even if he's pardoned the Hunter, which he has, 309 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 4: there's soill might be some state charges that if the 310 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 4: Feds can do a degree of investigation, they can turn 311 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 4: it over to the states and hold these people to account. 312 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 4: Because if we don't gone, my friend, what is the 313 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 4: lesson for other people in DC? What is the lesson 314 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 4: to the corrupt class, the elites in Washington, DC, on 315 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 4: both sides of the aisle. By the way, if the 316 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 4: Bidens get away with it, what's the lesson for this 317 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 4: country in the Republic. That's why this story still matters. 318 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: We're talking to Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, 319 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: host of The Right Report Daily podcast. Brian, you and 320 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: I do what's called a global Intel update, And for 321 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: Americans out there who are thinking, what is that so 322 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: the folks. Things are happening in the world that you 323 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: need to know about, but these things might not be 324 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: in the news. So here, what Brian and I are 325 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: going to do is rapid fire this stuff for you. 326 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: So there are three pieces of intel that I think 327 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: you need to know about. And the first geographic location 328 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: in the world is Guatemala. Brian, what's going on in Guatemala. 329 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 4: The globe, my friends. So Guatemala President, he is the 330 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 4: president of that country, a guy who leans left. But 331 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 4: what he is talked to the Trump team about is 332 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 4: that he's willing to take not just his citizens when 333 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 4: they get deported from Donald Trump's big deportation program, but 334 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 4: he's willing to take those from other countries as well, 335 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 4: specifically places like El Salvador and others. That's a big 336 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 4: deal for Donald Trump and his team. Why because there 337 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 4: are other are nations like Venezuela, the Cubans and others 338 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 4: who will not take back their people. Now I don't 339 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 4: blame them, because most of them are crooks, but the 340 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 4: point is they won't take them back. So Guatemala isn't 341 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 4: green to take back citizens other than their own. That's 342 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 4: a big deal, and that's why this is important. 343 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a quick let's jump to Mexico. They 344 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: agree to crack down on cartel's gangs and illegal aliens. 345 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: What's going on with that? 346 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, so President Quadias Shinebam. She is a leftist, He's 347 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 4: a Marxist. She's been for many decades. Her predecessor was 348 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 4: to Lopez over a daughter. 349 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 5: They have had a policy called hugs not bullets, And 350 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 5: I'm not kidding you, that's actually their argument that they 351 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 5: need to hug out the problems with the cartels and 352 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 5: the game members in their country, not shoot them with bullets. 353 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 5: So that is in their policy, abserved in my idea 354 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 5: and I think a lot of other peoples. But the 355 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 5: point is that Clinias Scheinbaum is now starting to change 356 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 5: her tune a bit. She starting to now crack down 357 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 5: the point that Ady and others at a much greater 358 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 5: rate over the past number of months than she had 359 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 5: ever promised or planned on. 360 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 4: Why is that? Because she is scared, thinking in her 361 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 4: little Marxist boots about what Donald Trump's going to do. 362 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 4: So she and her team have signaled to the Trump administration, 363 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 4: the inbound Trump administration, they will continue to crack down 364 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 4: and do more to stay on his good side. Why 365 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 4: because Mexico needs us more than we need them. It's 366 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 4: that simple. Steimebamb might talk a big games she does 367 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 4: about being independent, but really Canada might be the fifty 368 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 4: first state in Mexico's the fifty second. I look forward 369 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 4: to Trump saying that might go. But the point is 370 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 4: the Mexicans really know that they are on the weak 371 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 4: side of this thing. And that is why President Shinbaum 372 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 4: is now bending the knee to Donald Trump. 373 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright spitting fire on our global intel assessment. Okay, 374 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: take a trip to me Brian to Canada, and they 375 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: now agree to bolster border security because they are afraid 376 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: of President Trump. 377 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 4: This is so great. Over the past couple months, I 378 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 4: think a lot of people have seen Justin Trudeau traveling 379 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 4: to mar Algo. Course Justin Trudeau the prime minister of 380 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 4: that country, but an increasing number of them have basically said, look, 381 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 4: Trump is still talking about this fifty per state stuff. 382 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 4: He's not happy. So what the Canadian government is doing 383 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 4: is bumping up the amount of support that they're going 384 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 4: to offer to our northern border. Lockdown. That stuff they're 385 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 4: offering up even more a billion plus more dollars for 386 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: more agents and more dogs that will patrol the grounds 387 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 4: at more mobile watch towers. They are really pumping in 388 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 4: more of this border six stuff because Trump continues with 389 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 4: his rhetoric. So this is a great I think reason 390 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 4: and putting all these three things together looking at Guatemala, 391 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 4: Mexico and Canada that sometimes, as Teddy Roosevelt used to say, 392 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 4: we speak softly to carry a big stick. Well, the 393 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 4: Trump version is speak loudly and carry a big stick 394 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 4: with foss on it. And that is I think showing 395 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 4: leadership through a little bit of fear but also willingness 396 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 4: to do a deal, because that's what Trump has always 397 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 4: done and he continues to always talk about was is 398 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 4: he's willing to do a deal with people, but he's 399 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: also willing to punch you right in the face if 400 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: you're not willing to do so of him, by the way, 401 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 4: So that's why I think in North America this is 402 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 4: a really big deal. If we think about this deportation crisis, 403 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 4: what kind of leadership it's going to take to really 404 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 4: squeeze some of our partners who otherwise are used to 405 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 4: more diplomatic language. He's using the harsher stuff and he's 406 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,479 Speaker 4: getting results, and that is such an important, important lesson. 407 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 4: Maybe we remember to be able to book or you know, 408 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 4: it says, Look, you got to make sure that it's 409 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 4: better to be feared than loved, right, But sometimes if 410 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 4: you can't be both, and it's meant to be feared. 411 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 4: That's what Trump is living out right now. 412 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 2: Okay. 413 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations host of The Right 414 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: Report Daily podcast. Okay, we got about two minutes left. 415 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: Tell me about what's going on. Trump taken on Panama 416 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: and wants to maybe acquire Greenland. 417 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: That's not as crazy as people think it might be, right. 418 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 4: It's not. There is a method to his madness. Agree 419 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 4: with or not. There is a reason for this. So 420 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 4: Panama only exists as a country because we set it 421 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 4: free from Colombia. It used to be part of Columbia. 422 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 4: So back in the early nineteen hundreds, Hetty Roosevelt that 423 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: we just talked about him set that country free from Colombia. 424 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 4: The agreement was with the Panama Canal Company at the 425 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 4: time to basically set Panama free, but we would get 426 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 4: access to the canal. Back in nineteen seventies, Jimmy Carter 427 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 4: Rest in peace. He gave it back to the Panamanians, 428 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 4: but it with two agreements, one that we would have 429 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 4: easy ready access and they would stay neutral. Panama has not. 430 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 4: They've been inviting the Chinese in. So that's what Trump 431 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 4: was doing here, punching the president down there in that 432 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 4: they're saying, you're violating the agreement in spirit or letter. 433 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 4: Thinking it's true. With Greenland, what we are really concerned 434 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 4: about is Denmark not supporting Greenland. They are the colonial power. 435 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 4: They are supposed to be spending a lot of money 436 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 4: defending Greenland, building that up from the Chinese and the 437 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 4: Russians who are trying to control the Arctic. So Trump 438 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 4: was saying, I'm just gonna buy it, I'm gonna take it. Well, 439 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 4: the Danish government in response, is now putting in one 440 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 4: point five billion dollars into Greenland. They announced that over 441 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 4: the past week, saying we are now going to plus 442 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 4: up the defensives of Greenland. That's the whole point Trump 443 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 4: is basically again, you know, speaking loudly, carrying is the 444 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 4: big stick and smack in the face by the way 445 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 4: of a bunch of Europeans who aren't hearing their weight 446 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 4: in this. You're going to see more of this. By 447 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 4: the way, two percent of GDP, that is what needle 448 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 4: partners are supposed to spend on their defense. Trump says, Nope, 449 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 4: you're not doing it five percent. So he's now pushing 450 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 4: even hard on his negotiating strategy. So more than a 451 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 4: bunch of these Europeans in the faith brand. 452 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright spitting the fire. Brian, can you stay 453 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: with us on the other side of this break?

In a second 461 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. 462 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: My name is Sean Parnell in the chair for Clay 463 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: and Buck, and we've got my good friend Brian Dean 464 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: Wright on the show. He's been very gracefous with his time. 465 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: Former CIA operations officer, host of a great podcast called 466 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: The Right Report Daily podcast. We've done the Global Intel segment. 467 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: Sometimes that can be a little bit heavy, sometimes maybe 468 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: even a little bit scary, so braided with that, we 469 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: like to also talk about good news. Brian Dean Wright, 470 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: welcome back to the show My Friend You Bet You So? Okay, 471 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: So Brian got some great research on lung fibrosis. 472 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 2: Fill us in you bet So. 473 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 4: One of the things that I do on my podcast 474 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 4: is I talk about great global news that touches medical updates. 475 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 4: And there are some amazing medical updates all around the 476 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 4: world that we don't hear about. So one of them 477 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 4: is something about lung fibrosis. So for folks out there, 478 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 4: maybe you've had romacoid arthritis or lupus, you've ever had 479 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 4: to deal with this fastest damage to lungs or cold us. 480 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 4: This is a big deal with lung fibrosis. Not a 481 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 4: lot of great treatments for this. So researchers in Heidelberg 482 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 4: actually said in Germany, trying to look at what is 483 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 4: on the shelf that has already approved a drug that 484 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 4: we can put into people's bodies that will help them 485 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 4: with this lung fibrosis. And they look through a bunch 486 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 4: of different medications, these a really wonderful software AI software, 487 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 4: and they found a drug that is called dextromethorphin. You 488 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 4: and I might know that as robot that is the 489 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 4: active ingredient in that cont s Europe. So not researchers 490 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 4: are looking at how much exactly of that drug, if 491 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 4: probably best were necessary to affect or improve this lung fibrosis. 492 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 4: But it's really great news. So folks out there are 493 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 4: dealing with this either because one of these conditions, some 494 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 4: people I know talk about being vaccine injured. This is 495 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 4: a really interesting drog you should talk to your doctors 496 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 4: about again, dexto methorpren. Thank you friends in Germany for 497 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 4: finding out that piece of great medical news. 498 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright tell us about what you got on 499 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: pancreatic cancer. 500 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 4: So this is an extraordinarily difficult diagnosis for folks out 501 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 4: there who have had it, or or you know that 502 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 4: your family members tend to runs in families. So two things. One, 503 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 4: there is a great new blood test that is actually 504 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 4: in addition to a current one that's not all that accurate, 505 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 4: we are now seeing that rates about seventy seventy five 506 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 4: percent of accuracy, that's something about forty percent. Also fewer 507 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 4: numbers of false positives and false negatives this blood test 508 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 4: and come with another from Canada is really giving folks 509 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 4: who deal with this before you ever ever get it. 510 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 4: So if it runs into your family, you can test 511 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 4: it and know that you have a financial early lesion 512 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 4: very early on. However, if you are diagnosed, there is 513 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 4: some great research from our friends in Iowa. Actually, some 514 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 4: researchers there have discovered that a vitamin seed grip along 515 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 4: with your chemotherapy treatment will double or more your lifespan 516 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 4: once you start that treatment. So it's a really really 517 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 4: wonderful option. Vitamin C Not only does it improve one's 518 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 4: life with that diagnosis, it also makes your life apparently, 519 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 4: according to this research, just better. You just feel better 520 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 4: as you're going through that very difficult treatment. So some 521 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 4: really really great news. I'm both preventing or knowing it 522 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 4: early so you can remove that lesion or if you 523 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 4: are diagnosed, some really wonderful treatment options. 524 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: We're talking to Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, 525 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: host of The Right Report Daily podcast. Brian, we've got 526 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: about sixty seconds left talk to us. 527 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 2: We've got doctor. 528 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: Lena Wan on there talking about how the bird flu's 529 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: coming around people should get vaccinated for it. 530 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: Now, are we going to do this all over again. 531 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 4: Well, well, once we'd let the people do it to us. 532 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 4: That's the lesson from the COVID pandemic, isn't it. Here's 533 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 4: the good news. When this virus gets in vat humans, 534 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 4: one of the first things we know is it doesn't 535 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 4: do much of anything. There were some blood samples taken 536 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 4: from dairy workers with the lot of them showing the 537 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 4: antibodies already in their systems. That means they've been infected 538 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 4: and they didn't know it. Think that the ones that 539 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 4: are demonstrating some degree of sickness, they are having conjunctiveyis 540 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 4: pink eye, or there are some rare cases a guy 541 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 4: in Louisiana won in Canada where they are extraordinarily sick. 542 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 4: But some really profound underlying conditions for those people. But 543 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 4: here's the good piece of news. If you have been 544 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 4: ever infected with the seasonal flu, that likely provides you 545 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 4: a degree of protection natural immunity. That is one of 546 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 4: the arguments made by a medical outlet called stat News. 547 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 4: So that is the really good piece of news here. 548 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 4: Let's not go back down the rabbit hole of fear. 549 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 4: Bird flu is not going to kill you.
