00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: All right, second hour of Play and Buck chicks off

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: right now. We are joined by our friend Steven Miller,

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: formerly senior advisor in the Trump White House, and he's

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: also the founder of America First Legal. Steven, good to

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: have you on the program.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 3: Thank you. Great to be here.

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: As always, so we have guys, let's start with this one.

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: We all know the borders that told disaster Steven. The

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: good news is I mean, not that there's any good

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: news about this, but this audience very up to speed

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: on the numbers, the criminality, the lawlessness, and the Biden

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: administration's utter refusal to do anything meaningful about it. Last

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: night we heard from President Trump about his proposals, and

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: here's one thing we talked to. There was a talk

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: of deportations, rapidly escalating the deportations. Here's what Trump said,

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Play fifteen.

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 4: How will you gather the over millions that have already

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: entered our country illegally and returned them to their country

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: of origin?

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 5: Great question. It's not sustainable for our country. We have

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 5: millions and millions of people here. It is not sustainable.

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 5: Did you see in New York City with it getting

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 5: the regular students out and they're putting migrants in their place.

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 4: We are going to.

27
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 5: Have the largest deportation effort in the history of our country.

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 5: We're bringing everybody back to where they came from.

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 4: We have no choice, we have no chils. All right, Steven,

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: you heard it from the man himself.

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: What would that look like? What would that deportation effort?

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: I mean, walk us through how that happens.

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: Yes, well, this is something, of course that we've given

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: a great deal of thought to. And I'm speaking to

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: you now in my personal capacity. When I say this,

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: I am one hundred percent and confident that when President

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: Trump takes the oath of office, we will begin and

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: initiate the largest deportation operation, as he said, in the

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: history of our country. And the way this will be

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: done is by number one, involving and leveraging the enormous

41
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: federal assets at our disposal beyond the Board of Patrol

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: and ICE. So right now, ICE has about six thousand

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: deportation officers as your starting point. That's not very many.

44
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: That's you know, New York City has thirty thousand cops

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: to put that respective six thousand for the whole country.

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: So you begin by number one, taking HSI, which is

47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: the organization on top of ice Homeland security investigations, and

48
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: you can pull another probably ten eleven thousand guns and

49
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: badges from HSI. Then you go into the Department of Justice,

50
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: while you get CBP extra resources for interior operations. Then

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: you go into de J you pull from FBI atf DEA.

52
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 3: Then you go into from there your other departments and

53
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: agencies that have their own police forces. For example, even

54
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: the National Park Service has a significant police service. Then

55
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: beyond that is when you bring in the National Guard.

56
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: And you do this by going to each of the

57
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: different states. You know, just take a pick, right, you

58
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: go to, say the governor of Alabama, and you say,

59
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: we need to use your National guardsmen to carry out

60
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: deportation operations in and around your state. So it's not

61
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: just in the state they're coming from, but you try

62
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: to do it regionally for efficiency's sake, so like in

63
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: the Southeast region, you know, for example, and then you

64
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: go to the sheriffs and the police departments and using

65
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: the authority that is delegated to the Secretary of Homeland Security,

66
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: you're then able to deputize those individuals as well. But

67
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: the key for efficiency sake is that it has to

68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: be done under the control of your most experienced deportation officers.

69
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: In other words, this isn't just like you show up

70
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: and you say to a group of people, all right,

71
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: now you're immigration officers, because it's an incredibly challenging, complicated

72
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: and it's very data driven knowing where the illegals are

73
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: and what their case disposition is. So you have experienced

74
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: your best ice officers running these teams that are blends

75
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: of federal, state, and local and National Guard for resources. Then,

76
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: as we've talked about before, you have to have staging

77
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: facilities for outbound flights, right because if you collect a

78
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: group of people, say you cook to one hundred people

79
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: one day in Alabama, they're going to be from two

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: dozen different countries. Each country you have a different plane

81
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: of different manifested, different everything. So you have to have

82
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: somewhere to hold these people while you're waiting for these

83
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: outbound flights and of course dealing with all of the

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: legal challenges other things that are going to arise, which

85
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: that brings me to my next point, which is that

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: the state Department has to be also the leading edge

87
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: of this, and one of the things that I experienced

88
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: firsthand and but many people outside of government I realized,

89
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: is the State Department is the tip of the spear

90
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: in any deportation operation. There was obtaining unconditional compliance from

91
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: countries around the world. So those tarmacs are always open

92
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: to your aircraft. You pick up the phone and they're

93
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: ready to receive whatever plane that you're sending. No games,

94
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: no ball, no nothing countries. If you let them, they

95
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: will nickel and dine you over everything. They will say, oh,

96
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: we can only accept twenty right now, or if you

97
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: only accept fifteen right now, or we're not going to

98
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: give them travel documents, or we don't think this is

99
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: a real citizen of our country. It's not the right path.

100
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: But whatever you have to say, no, you accept every

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 3: single person we're sending back, or consequences are going to

102
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 3: initiate immediately. The last thing I'll have to say about

103
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: this is that you have to bring additional authorities to

104
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 3: their One of those that we talked about before if

105
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: the Alien Enemies Act, which gives you expended deportation as

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: well too, and then additionally by using a CALI forty

107
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: to two authority at the border. That will free up

108
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: an enormous amount of resources in space to carry out

109
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: the domestic deportation operations. So it's not the complete answer,

110
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: but it gives you a sense about the kind of

111
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: activity that we need to be put into effect. And

112
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: I can assure you it will happen as surely as

113
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: the sunrises in the morning. If Donald Trump is the

114
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: next president of the United States, then this will happen.

115
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: Stephen, Obviously, the border is a unmitigated disaster. Did you

116
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: ever think in your wildest dreams that it would get

117
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: this bad when Joe Biden came into office? And you're

118
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: not exactly a guy who is singing Sunnyside Homilies here

119
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: on the border in the first place, right, But even you,

120
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: are you astounded that we're talking about you know, six seven,

121
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: eight million illegals that we know of pouring into this

122
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: country and the record time unlike we've ever seen.

123
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: Even are you stunned by how bad it's gotten.

124
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: I'm stunned by the extent to which the Democrat Party

125
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: has been willing to sustain this pace of illegal immigration,

126
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: knowing the extraordinary public bloback and pressure. I know there

127
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: was I thought that they might. I thought that they

128
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: might meeter it just enough, because you know, for the

129
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: media to cover it, you know, six or seven thousand

130
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: apprehensions a day is an unmitigated catastrophe. They're now at

131
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: you know, ten eleven thousand apprehensions a day. The media,

132
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: the corporate media would ignore it at catastrophe levels. So

133
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: there's a state at catastrophe levels. The corporate media would

134
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: ignore it. They're at armageddon levels, so that even the

135
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: liberal press is covering it. That I did find a

136
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: bit surprising. But what I didn't find surprising at all

137
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: is that it happened because and I'm actually really glad

138
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: you asked the question, because I very rarely get to

139
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: say this. In the Trump administration, we knew that the

140
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: whole paradigm on the border had changed, that evieal immigration

141
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: was no longer just a Mexican issue, that it was

142
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: one hundred plus countries the smugglers and cartels had left

143
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: into the twenty first century, using social media, using networking

144
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: apps to facilitate massive legal immigration. That they were able

145
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: to use very advanced and sophisticated intelligence tools, that the

146
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: cartels were more powerful than ever in the North of Mexico,

147
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: and that the cheapness of international transportation and the ability

148
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 3: of international transportation also changed the game. In other words,

149
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: a poor person today in a third world country can

150
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 3: probably still say, with enough money to get to an

151
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: intermediate country, you know, say to get to Panama or

152
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: even to get to Mexico City and then pay the

153
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: cartel for the rest of the way. This wasn't true.

154
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: And George Bush was in office, and so we understood

155
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 3: that if we didn't perform exceptionally and feamlessly on the border,

156
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: that the gates of hell would open up.

157
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 6: And we knew that.

158
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: And so for me as as a private sit and

159
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: then in early twenty twenty one, watching what Biden was doing,

160
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: you know, my heart sank to the floor. I was

161
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: just just devastated because I understood what would happened and

162
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: what did happen.

163
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, Stephen Miller, Yeah, And also Stephen, you

164
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: were just kind of hitting at that, but I was curious.

165
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: One big part of this storyline has been the Governor

166
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: of Texas, Greg Abbott, sending migrants to all of these

167
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: sanctuary cities. Would this be something that maybe the Trump

168
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: administration as a federal level would do. It's a little

169
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: bit different obviously than the state, but that's obviously been

170
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: very successful too, because it's made it impossible for people

171
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: who are in New York or Chicago or Washington, d C.

172
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: Who sit back and say, oh, the border is not

173
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: an issue. Their entire city is collapsing, their budgets are

174
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: falling apart. How does that impact going forward?

175
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: No, the answer is that when it comes to the border,

176
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: we're not going to do anything other.

177
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: Than deport, de port to port, deport.

178
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: That's the bottom line. And we now have we possess

179
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: the skills, the knowledge, the bureaucratic know how, the mastery

180
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: of the federal agencies, the strategies with the judiciary, and

181
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: everything in between to be able to come in on

182
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: day one and put in place an enforcement regime that

183
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: no Western country in modern history has been able to

184
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: match or equal.

185
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 4: Stephen mill everybody, Steven, thanks for being with us, man,

186
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: appreciate it.

187
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: Thank you, God blessed us.

188
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 7: Soon.

189
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: You know here one big promise that was made last night,

190
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: Clay during the debate just wanted to play this for everybody.

191
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, during the town hall, not the debate, when

192
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: Trump said this is cut thirty two, and he said,

193
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: day one, he's going to be a dictator on two things,

194
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: the border and energy.

195
00:10:59,520 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: Play it.

196
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 5: I said, I'm going to be a dictator for one day.

197
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 4: We're going to do two things.

198
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 5: The border, we're gonna make it so tight you can't

199
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 5: get in unless you come in legally.

200
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: And the other is energy.

201
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 5: We're gonna drill, baby, drill. After that, I'm not gonna

202
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 5: be a dictator. After that, I'm not gonna be a dictator.

203
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 4: There you go. After that is not going to be

204
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: a dictator.

205
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: But those are two very important things in all seriousness,

206
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: the border and also what energy if it was truly

207
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: remember the whether it's people that are going to be

208
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 2: doing oil and gas exploration, uh, people that are setting

209
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: up the refinery operations for it clay. They've got to

210
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: project far out into the future, right, it's not just

211
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: something that happens suddenly. So knowing that you have a

212
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: four year administration that's going to be really favorable because

213
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: they're not scared of Greta Thunberg shaming them at the

214
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: UN or something really favorable toward American energy independence, I

215
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: would be huge. I think for the economy. You secure

216
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: the border, and you do that for energy, you're already

217
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: way ahead of where we are right now.

218
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: And also Buck, this comes back to what we said

219
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: about the border for a long time. There are two

220
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: main incentives why people come illegally to the United States.

221
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: One is jobs, and that's a courtesy of capitalism in

222
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the fact that we have created the greatest economic success

223
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: of a country and the history of the world. Okay,

224
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: so that's one that's hard to eliminate. Two, and Steven

225
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: has talked about this with us before. If you make

226
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: it harder for people to come here to get jobs,

227
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: that eliminates the incentive. Second part is we really have

228
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: to address the structural issue here, which is birthright citizenship

229
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: has to become a major point of debate in this country,

230
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: by which I mean just because you're born on the

231
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: soil here, if you are born as the result of

232
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: a crime, why should you be rewarded for that. That

233
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: is something that really needs to enter the American consciousness.

234
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: This is not a commonplace thing. Most of our rivals

235
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: in the world don't allow you to become a citizen

236
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: if you are born in their country, even if you're

237
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: there legally, And it makes zero sense that we would

238
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: allow someone to illegally enter the country, have a child

239
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: maybe eight or nine months pregnant when they come in

240
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: and suddenly their child is a citizen forever, and then

241
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: you can't deport the mom, you can't apport the dad.

242
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: This is a structural problem and an incentive that has

243
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: to be addressed.

244
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two eight a two And I

245
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: just got one yesterday. Actually, a text message came into

246
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: my phone. It was during the show, and usually when

247
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: people text me during the show, I get a little

248
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: bit like, hm, what's going on, because you know, people

249
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: who know me know what I'm doing from twelve noon

250
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: to three eastern every day. And sure enough it was, oh,

251
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: your package isn't coming to the right place, just click here.

252
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: It was a scam, folks, It was a scam. But

253
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: they're getting really sophisticated. In fact, these days, they're even

254
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: trying to use scams about raising money for charities and

255
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: other things in order to get your personal information. So

256
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: it's a fake charity or it's something that you think,

257
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I'm doing a good thing. Well you're

258
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: actually getting your information stolen. But when you become a

276
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I don't

277
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: know what's going on with John Fetterman. Was it yesterday

278
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: we had Dave McCormick on two days ago? Maybe that

279
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: we had Dave McCormick on who's running for Senate in

280
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania against Bob Casey, the other Senate seed. When we

281
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: started twenty twenty three, if you and I know we're

282
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty four now, but if we went back

283
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: a year and you had said, who is the worst

284
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: elected Democrat in the country, I might have said John

285
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: Fetterman full disclosure, because Fetterman couldn't speak. Uh, he almost

286
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: immediately had to check himself into a into unfortunately a

287
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: hospital for mental health.

288
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: Would you, I mean, is that crazy? Or you have

289
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 4: somebody else that you were a little bit hard on,

290
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: a little bit hard on Fetterman. Not gonna lie a

291
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 4: little hard on Fetterman a little bit.

292
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: I will be honest with you. I crushed John Fetterman.

293
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: I still don't don't agree with much of what he says. But,

294
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: and I hate to say this, Gavin Newsom might have

295
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: to put up the wine buck. I might have a

296
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: new favorite Democrat all of a sudden. I might not

297
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: be wanting to go out to the French laundry with

298
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom and twin arms together and have champagne glasses.

299
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: I'm kind of starting to like John Fetterman. I'm I'm

300
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: in shock.

301
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: Here Clay is telling all of you across the country

302
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: that when it comes to favorite favorite Democrat, if he

303
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: has to pick, he's trading in a fine Italian white

304
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: linen shirt button down four buttons for a Fetterman hoodie.

305
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: He's talking about that.

306
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: Those jean shorts, those oversized high top shoes. It's got

307
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: my heart a little flutter. And here is John Fetterman

308
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: telling everybody again he's so right on this Israel Hamas

309
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: Israel Palestine thing, and he's got everybody fired up on

310
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: the left and country.

311
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: We've got the audio. Listen, who are they really fighting?

312
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 6: It's a group of cowards.

313
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 7: They hide in tunnels, they hide behind civilians, they attack,

314
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 7: kill and utilate children living and they do that. Stop

315
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 7: talking about proportion on that. They shot their best shot

316
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 7: on October seventh, and they would have taken more lives

317
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: if they could have done that, but they couldn't do it.

318
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 7: And now let's also talk about that now we're talking

319
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 7: about genocide. Now South Africa now is now bringing that

320
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 7: kind of av in the trial. Maybe South Africa being

321
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 7: gonna sit this one out.

322
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, man, I mean his answer on

323
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: Israel is perfect. Yeah, perfect, Yeah, he gets it.

324
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 4: I never would have believed.

325
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: And he's going after South Africa for deciding to weigh

326
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: in on this issue as well. John Fetterman making a

327
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Gavin Newsom, keep your head on a swivel.

328
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: I mean, have a new favorite. Videotapes don't last forever.

329
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: In fact, they have about a two decade shelf. If

330
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: you know that that videotapes they fade, they don't last forever.

331
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: A lot of you've got old videotapes, cassettes probably sitting

332
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: around Christmas tree and on those VHS tapes. Oh yeah,

333
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,919

Speaker 1: them forever. You can't do it like you did. You're

00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: old Nintendo cassettes. To try to make those things play

347
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson is with us right now, mister Speaker, appreciate

348
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: you making time.

349
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 6: Hey, great to be with you guys, to hear your voices.

350
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 4: So we know we're at the border. We talked about

351
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 4: that top of the hour.

352
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: We do want to get into that issue with you

353
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: and see what the latest is from your perspective. But

354
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: first talk to us here about this spending deal. What's

355
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: really going on and why are you taking the positions

356
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 2: that you are right now in terms of the you know,

357
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: whether you're agreeing disagree with Democrats. Walk us through the

358
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: spending deal as it stands right now.

359
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great question. There's a lot of misinformation

360
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 6: and confusion about this.

361
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 7: Guys.

362
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 6: What we've done here is we're trying to work towards

363
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 6: the twelve separate appropriations bills. That's the way Congress is

364
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 6: supposed to work. That's how we restore physical sanity to Washington,

365
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 6: and we engage in good stewardship on behalf of tax payers. Right,

366
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 6: we have a thirty four trillion dollar on federal debt.

367
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 6: I mean, it's an incredible landmark and a dangerous one.

368
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 6: So we are negotiating, trying to work towards a top

369
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 6: line spinning agreement that is the first cut to non

370
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 6: va non defense spending in many years. Deificantly cuts out

371
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 6: a lot of the side agreements that were negotiated last

372
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 6: year for the spending bills, about sixteen billion dollars in

373
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 6: real new spending costs. We take ten billion out of

374
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 6: IRS slush fund in about six point one billion from

375
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 6: the bid administration's covid Era funds. The real important point

376
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 6: here is that having an agreement allows our Republican conservative

377
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 6: appropriators to go in the room and fight against the

378
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 6: Nancy Pelosi era policy writers that remain in effect because

379
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 6: we're operating under a continued resolution and we've got to

380
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 6: get the new budget done. So that's what this is about.

381
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 6: It's not the best deal that any of us as

382
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: conservatives would draft on our own, but here's what everybody

383
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 6: has to remember. We only have conservatives. Republicans only have

384
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 6: a majority in one House of Congress. And it's about

385
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: to become the smallest majority in US history. I mean,

386
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 6: after January twenty seconds, we'll be down to a one

387
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 6: vote margin. I mean literally, there's only been one Congress

388
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 6: in nineteen seventeen there in World War One, and have

389
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 6: a smaller majority than we'll have smaller margins. So we

390
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 6: want advance are conservative priorities and principles every moment of

391
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 6: every day as far as we can. But right now, guys,

392
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 6: to give a football metaphor, which you both are converson in.

393
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 6: I'm an LSU guy, so that's how I speak. Right listen.

394
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 6: I want to throw a hill Mary pass on every play,

395
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 6: but right now it's three yards and a cloud of dust,

396
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 6: and we've got to advance the ball up the field incrementally,

397
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 6: and that's what we're trying to do.

398
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 4: You're an LSU guy, by the way. I got to

399
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: build on this. Then. How excited were you when you

400
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: saw Nick Saban was retiring?

401
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 6: You know, I was hoping you would see that up

402
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 6: for me. You know, congratulations to him, undeniable that he's

403
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 6: you know, he's probably one of it's not the greatest coach,

404
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 6: it's certainly in the college game of all time. But

405
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 6: at LSU, we have no love loss for Alabama and

406
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 6: what he's done. So you know, it's a bittersweet day

407
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 6: for college football. How about that.

408
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: That's a good answer.

409
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: I think you should have said that that Brian Kelly

410
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: is now going to smoke Alabama and the Crimson Tide

411
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: or finished as an elite football program. That's what I

412
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: was telling my good That's what I was telling my

413
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: seventh grader, by the way, who has ended up an

414
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: Alabama fan because they've been so dominant now and it's

415
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: a real failure of parenting that I've allowed that to happen.

416
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: We're talking to speak speaker Mike Johnson. Okay, So for

417
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: people out there who are listening to us right now

418
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: and they are not that familiar with you, how are

419
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: you different than the speaker that you replaced? What is

420
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: going to be different for Republican voters out there that

421
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: they should know about you compared to the man you replaced.

422
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 6: Well, listen, I'm not going to in any way to

423
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 6: spirit McCarthy was a great guy and a patriot, did

424
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 6: the best that he could under tough circumstances all the time.

425
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 6: But you know, my background is different. I was a

426
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 6: constitutional law litigator. I was a frontlines literally frontline conservative

427
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 6: movement conservative my whole life, and that's the background I

428
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 6: bring into this. The lens by which I see things

429
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 6: is as a constitutional conservative. I mean, I believe in

430
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 6: the founding principles of the country, and we're trying to

431
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 6: advance some merea every day individual freedom, limited government, you know,

432
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 6: the rule of law, peace through strings, fiscal responsibility, free markets,

433
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 6: human dignity. These are the things that built the country

434
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 6: are These are my fixed points in the horizon and

435
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 6: the guide what we do. So what you're going to

436
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 6: see over the long term is a real emphasis on

437
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 6: that to get us back to what made America great

438
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 6: in the first place. I feel like we've deviated from

439
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 6: it too far now acknowledging right now we're going through

440
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 6: a valley. This is what I want everybody to know

441
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 6: and be encouraged by it. We are going to emerge

442
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 6: on the other side of this. Right now, we have

443
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 6: the smallest majority in US history very soon here with

444
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 6: one majority in one House of Congress. We only have

445
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 6: control of one half of one third of the federal government.

446
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 6: But it's all going to change because Guy, I am

447
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 6: very bullish on the upcoming election cycle. I am convinced

448
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 6: that we're going to expand the conservative Republican majority. Now,

449
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 6: we're going to win back this in it and I

450
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 6: think we're going to win back to the White House

451
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 6: as well, and so everybody in this country is going

452
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 6: to be in a much better place a year from now.

453
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 6: We've got to get through this valley and we've got

454
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 6: to demonstrate that we can govern well.

455
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: I think Speaker Johnson ken we're speaking to the Speaker

456
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 2: of the House, Mike Johnson right now, and Speaker Johnson

457
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: to that end, let's let's let's fast forward a little

458
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 2: bit and hope and pray, but let's fast forward to

459
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: where we have a really good election at the end

460
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: of this year. And let's say you get a Republican president.

461
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 2: I can let anybody else fill in the blank here

462
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: of who they think that would be, but a Republican president,

463
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: House and Senate. What do you think the Republican House

464
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: caucus is willing to do on the immigration issue?

465
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 4: Really?

466
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we just had Stephen Miller on He's talking

467
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: about Trump promising massive deportations. He says he one hundred

468
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 2: percent believes him. What is the Republican party in the

469
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 2: House willing to do to deal with our out of

470
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 2: control border. I know you were just down there.

471
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 6: We were listen. I talked Steve Miller about it all

472
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 6: the time, and all of our friendship were absolutely committed.

473
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 6: I believe it's the number one issue. I think it'll

474
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 6: be a big issue for the election, maybe the biggest one,

475
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: because it's the most immediate crisis and catastrophe that we

476
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 6: have to faith. Last week, we took sixty four House

477
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 6: Republicans down to the border, to Ego Pass, to the

478
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 6: Epicenter to see it off with their own two eyes.

479
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 6: Many of us have been of the border multiple times before,

480
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 6: but it's never been as bad as it is right now. Guys,

481
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 6: three hundred and two thousand people crossed illegally in December.

482
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 6: That's just the ones we could count, ones we had

483
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 6: encounters with. We don't know how many guidaways have come through,

484
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 6: how many people on a terroris and watch the list.

485
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 6: At least three hundred that we know. I think the

486
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 6: actual number is close to fifteen million. So the point is,

487
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 6: we can't really wait until next year to begin to

488
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 6: address all this. It has happened now, and you're going

489
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 6: to see us draw the line and stand on that

490
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 6: line and fight right now to get that border security.

491
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 6: We passed HR two, our signature legislation eight months ago

492
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 6: to Secure the Border Act. It would do everything we

493
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 6: need to do, you know, fix the broken corol system,

494
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 6: the asylum reform, I mean, reinstitute the Trump era, remain

495
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 6: in Mexico policy, and catch and release, you know, finish

496
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 6: the wall, all that's in there. Every House Republican voter

497
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 6: for that. We lobbed it over the Senate. It's been

498
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 6: collecting dust on Chuck Schumer's desk for eight months. We're

499
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 6: going to push this, We're going to force it through,

500
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 6: and we're going to get transformational policy change on that border.

501
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: One way or the other.

502
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 6: We have to. We have to do it for the country.

503
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: You mentioned.

504
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: I know you got a lease. That's the last question

505
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: for you. You've got to manage everything that's going on

506
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: in the House right now. You mentioned the small majority

507
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: you have, which is a tiny majority that you inherited.

508
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: What happened with Kevin McCarthy was it only took four

509
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: people to remove him. Are you concerned at all that

510
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: you're going to have the same issue with four or

511
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: five people and that they might vote to try to

512
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: remove you in the same way that they did Kevin McCarthy,

513
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: or you confident that's not going to happen itself, that

514
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: prologue is not going to be a preview for what

515
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: happens to you as well.

516
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't with a moment of time being concerned

517
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 6: about that. I'm working to govern. Look, everybody here is

518
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 6: there's a lot of emotion right now. There's a lot

519
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 6: of fervor and very thoughtful conversations, and that's what we're doing.

520
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 6: I mean, the people that moved to vakate McCarthy, and

521
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 6: there's some my close colleagues and friends, and so I

522
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 6: bring everybody in and we talked through the issues. Remember,

523
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 6: they know that I am myself a hardline conservative and

524
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 6: I bring that philosophy to the gavel. And what we're

525
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 6: doing right now is we've got to We've got to

526
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 6: advance that conservative philosophy under arguably the most challenging circumstances

527
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 6: in the institution. So we're not going to get everything

528
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 6: we get we want every single day. It's incrementalism and

529
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 6: having everybody understand that and be part of the you know,

530
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 6: advancing the ball is really important. Not to wear out

531
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 6: the football metaphor, but everybody needs to know their place

532
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 6: in the field, what their position is, where they work

533
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 6: in each play. And you can't tackle your own quarterback

534
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 6: and expect you're going to win the game. Right, So

535
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 6: we we talk about this tongue in cheek, but everybody

536
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 6: knows the stakes are so high.

537
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 4: Guys.

538
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 6: I think we're going to work together and get this

539
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 6: done and again we're gonna win that election cycle and

540
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 6: be in a much better position next time around.

541
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, mister Speaker, come back

542
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: again soon. Thanks for being on the program.

Speaker 4: Guy's good talk to you. Eight hund two two two

545
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 4: eight a two.

546
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on what the speaker cent or on the

547
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 2: immigration plan as we talked about it with Stephen Miller

548
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: in the top of the hour. Want to want to

549
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: hear your thoughts. You know, one thing that I do

550
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: think people player are going to be asking is they

551
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: love they love what Trump is promising day one of

552
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: Trump term two, but why didn't it happen Trump term one?

553
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 6: Right?

554
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: This is something and I think that's a fair it's

555
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: a fair question doesn't mean that it's a question without

556
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: an answer, and I wonder if anybody out there has an.

557
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 4: Answer that they want to offer up for it at

558
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 4: this point.

559
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: Look, this is gonna be a huge year in politics, Clay,

560
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,040

00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 4: Right, So you're gonna need energy, right, Clay.

Speaker 2: we did get a lot of emails about the tears

571
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: during the Crown that said somebody else said that they

572
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,920

Speaker 1: Travis Buck Sexton Show appreciate all of you hanging out

599
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: with us as we are rolling through the Thursday edition

600
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: of the program, and wanted to hit you with this

601
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the actual Iowa caucuses, which

602
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: are going to be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, four days

603
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: from now.

604
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: You want to talk about weather, and I don't know that.

605
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: Weather's going to play a huge role in exactly how

606
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: or why people decide to go out and vote. I

607
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: know that it's always cold in Iowa this time of year,

608
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: but it's going to be really, really cold Monday. The

609
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: high is going to be minus one in Iowa. So

610
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: for all of you out there wondering, there's a lot

611
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: of talk about the weather on election Day and everything else,

612
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: the night's low when a lot of people are gonna

613
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: be going out to caucus, is gonna be minus fourteen.

614
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: So that is the forecast right now, sitting four days out.

615
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: If that ends up being the case that the weather

616
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: is as bad as they expect, I would think that

617
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: that would make some people not show up. I'm not

618
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: gonna lie if it is that cold, not that it's

619
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: ever very that cold where I live in Nashville, bucks

620
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: down in Miami, It probably hasn't been below sixty the

621
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: whole time you've been in Miami.

622
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: What's the temperature right now? In Miami, it's like seventy degrees.

623
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: It got to like sixty seven a few days ago,

624
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 2: and I was very upset about it.

625
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had to put on like a fleece windbreaker,

626
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: you had to layer up. Why minus won for a

627
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: high and minus fourteen when many people are going to

628
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: be going to vote, I would think that that would

629
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: actually impact in some way the turnout. Now, maybe people

630
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: are super fired up. What I would think it would do, buck, see,

631
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: if you would sign on to this theory, what I

632
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: would think it would do is limit the number of

633
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: people out there that are going out if they're not

634
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: die hards. Right, If you're gonna go out and support

635
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: somebody in Iowa in minus ten degree weather, you are

636
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: not like lukewarm about the guy or gal that you're supporting.

637
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 1: You are all in on who you are supporting, right,

638
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean the weather has to impact turnout in some

639
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: way when it gets that cold.

640
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: I guess it will probably although Iowan's it's you know,

641
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 2: this isn't like they're not prepared for this, right, they

642
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: get some rough weather, I wouldn't think it would make

643
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: a massive difference. And all this the only way I mean,

644
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: because you basically think that Trump would would be hurt

645
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: by the snow and cold or the cold, but just

646
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: by the cold, right, because people think he's gonna win.

647
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: Who are Trump supports or so they the caucus? Right,

648
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: that's your that's my thought.

649
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: If it's cold and you're sitting in your house and

650
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: you're like, I mean, the Iowa state pole just came

651
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: out and they have Trump up forty points over everybody else, right.

652
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, though, if you were, if you

653
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: were planning on going to a caucus though, Clay, I

654
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: think you're I think you're in it to win it, right.

655
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: I don't know how many you're gonna show up, no

656
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: matter what. I think you're probably showing up, no matter what.

657
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 4: I think.

658
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: Islands right now are chuckling at us guy who lives

659
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: in Tennessee and guy who lives in South Florida being like,

660
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,239
Speaker 2: we can handle the snow, boys, don't worry about it.

661
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: So you think weather conditions have no impact minimal I

662
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: think it'll have minimal impact on this. I think Iowans

663
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: are going to put on the parka and they're gonna

664
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's just gonna be cold, right, no snow?

665
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 4: What was the well?

666
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: I think there's snow on the ground, but it's it's

667
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: freezing in. There's been a lot of snow this week.

668
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of boggled or juggled some of the schedules

669
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: around for some of the candidates.

670
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 4: And I don't think we mentioned.

671
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: That Iowa State Pole, but in the Iowa State Pole,

672
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: buck up is up forty points. I mean, if we're

673
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: talking about that kind of landslide, I'll just go ahead

674
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: and call it. If Trump wins by that kind of margin,

675
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: the election, the primary season is over.

676
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even need to see if they're

677
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: gonna want to pick up a win in New Hampshire.

678
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 2: If they can, right, I mean, there's gonna be.

679
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 4: I get it.

680
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean Nicky Haley made because independence and third party

681
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, Democrats or whatever can roll in and vote

682
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: for her, and New Hampshire might still be a toss up.

683
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: I think I'm correct that it's been all the way.

684
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: No Republican since nineteen seventy six has won both Iowa

685
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: and New Hampshire.

686
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 4: Have you it's been a long time.

687
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I think Gerald Ford was the last Republican to

688
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: win both Iowa and New Hampshire.

689
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: This is what I was trying to think of the

690
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: other day. You're right when you said Bernie Sanders was

691
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: the front runner at this point in twenty twenty for

692
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: the Democrats. Do you remember who won Iowa? Pete Buddha Judge,

693
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: oh heat Boodha Judge. So a guy who ended up

694
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 2: with a tiny fraction of.

695
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: The well, black guys won't vote for Mayor Pete. I mean,

696
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: this is like the story that nobody will talk about.

697
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: You're I did not I did not remember that at all.

698
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: That's a great fact point. It's all white, white people

699
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: who vote in Iowa. Right, Black people won't vote for

700
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: mayor Pete because he's gay, and nobody will talk about it.

701
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the third rail that you're not

702
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: allowed to touch.

703
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: So that just to me is a reminder about you know,

704
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: Pete winning in Iowa that you know and look, this

705
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: is where this is where you start to sound like

706
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: we're calling a football game instead of politics. Anything can happen.

707
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: It depends who shows up on game day. That that's

708
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: all going to be true.

709
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 7: Here.

710
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 4: I I think that.

711
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: Uh, here's what I do know from from sources. The

712
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: internal polling of the campaigns on Iowa mirrors the Iowa

713
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: polling that we're talking about. So you're going to have

714
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: to have some something crazy happened that day for it

715
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: not to be a Trump victory. That's just that's just

716
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: the truth. I don't know what else to say. I'm

717
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: not I'm not I'm not.

718
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 4: Wishing it into existence or opposing it.

719
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's you've never seen any kind of

720
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 2: a lead like this evaporated one day. All the campaigns

721
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: have similar polling from what I'm told.

722
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: You know, I cannot wait to actually have legit votes

723
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: to talk about on Tuesday on the show. Because we've

724
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: been talking about what we think is gonna happen. Iowa

725
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: voters have the first opportunity to actually show us.

726
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 7: Uh.

727
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: If Trump wins by those kind of margins, I'm I'm

728
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: calling it over right. If he comes out and he

729
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: triumphs like that, I don't even care what I've called

730
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: it over in July I did last year.

731
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 4: That's true. Yeah,
