Speaker 1: app does a great job of that as well. And

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: we wanted to make sure that we said it is

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: the fourth anniversary of a date that I know has

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: been very hard for many of you. Rush Limbaugh died

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: four years ago today, and we wanted to make sure

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: that we honored his memory thirty three years of radio excellence,

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: the like of which has never existed in American history.

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: And there is a longer form clip from Rush that

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: is up in our podcast channel for those of you

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: who want to hear it. But we did want to

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: honor the legacy the memory of the man behind the

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: Golden microphone by acknowledging this four year anniversary of his passing.

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: This is from January ninth of twenty twenty, Rush talking

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: about Trump versus the process oriented people of Washington, d C.

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: A conflict that is certainly continuing to play itself out.

34
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: In the present moment. Listen to this from five years ago.

35
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: The American people have gotten used to the snail's pace

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: of whatever objectives government or Washington has.

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Trump is not of that world.

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: Trump is a results oriented guy, and he's up against

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: a bunch process people. Now, if both parties are engaged

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: in process as part of a campaign and trying to

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 3: win the day on who's the better at process, then

42
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: you've got a dull, boring campaign here. But when you've

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: got somebody demonstrably able to get results up against process people.

44
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: The process people don't have a prayer, and that's what

45
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: they know.

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: That was Rush. In the twenty twenty era. January of

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty more Rush Legacy memory up as a part

48
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: of the Clay and buck podcast network. We certainly want

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to acknowledge four years ago his passing and the tremendous

50
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: impact that he had in the world of this arena,

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: and that want to reiterate as we have done and

52
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: said for years, I can't believe Bucket's been almost four

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: years that you and I have been talking every single

54
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: day with this audience. We do not take it for granted.

55
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: We fell immense gratitude and privilege to be able to

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: continue to fight many of the battles that Rush fought,

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: and we appreciate the fact that so many of you

58
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: have continued to listen to us, and also that younger

59
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: people out there have continued to come into the fray,

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: as Rush would have wanted the case to be. In fact,

61
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: I imagine that Rush boy would he be excited about

62
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: how many young people in particular are taking up the

63
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: American flag and advancing it behind the arguments that Trump

64
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: is winning with right now. He would be ecstatic to

65
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: see exactly what is happening. I'm sure he is watching

66
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: down and seeing it, but it is pretty incredible to

67
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: think about the legacy and its growth as Trump has

68
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: taken back in for two oh buck.

69
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: Yes, and so we are gratified and deeply honored to

70
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: be trying to continue on the fights that Rush engaged

71
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: in for decades. And we've got more up at clanbuck

72
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: dot com and also in the clan Buck podcast feed.

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 4: We've pulled together special kind of a just a memory

74
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: of Rush in podcast form on the four year passing,

75
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: So please go check that out in the clan Buck

76
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 4: podcast network.

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: So all of that certainly wanted to be on top

78
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: of we've been discussing the battle for free speech. I

79
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: wanted to play this cut for you, Buck because last

80
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: night was the fiftieth anniversary of Saturday Night Live and

81
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to watch it. I thought, Hey, you know what,

82
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: They've got a huge, incredible number of celebrities that are

83
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: coming out. Maybe they will put together a really well

84
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: done show. I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

85
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: I watched for about an hour and a half. I

86
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: turned to my wife, I said, I can't watch any

87
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: more of this. Tell me if anything actually funny happens,

88
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: I'm going to go and read and be doing prep.

89
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: For this show.

90
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: I was reading, I think, catching up with the Wall

91
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Street Journal in the New York Times weekend editions. And

92
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: I did see, however, in the part that I was

93
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: watching this skit, which was Tom Hanks suddenly shows up

94
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: and he is a Trump supporter. He's wearing a Make

95
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: America Great Again hat, and you need to watch the

96
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: video because it was intentionally insulting to Trump voters.

97
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: But I would play that audio for you.

98
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live wonders why its ratings have collapsed and

99
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: it does not have the cultural cachet that it used to.

100
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: I would submit to you it's because they continue to

101
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: alienate over half of the country right now, listen, Oh well, thank.

102
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: You, hey, And I speaking to church.

103
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 5: Can I say something?

104
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 3: If more folks went to church, we wouldn't be in

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: this mess wherein?

106
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 6: Now?

107
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Would you do? I'd like

108
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: to shake your hands, sir. Here we go. No no, no,

109
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: oh no, no, it's just a handsh you welcome to

110
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: thank you my mind by brother.

111
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: Now, maybe I'll start a show for you to come

112
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: on and we'll call it what Jeopardy.

113
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: We don't need it.

114
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: We don't need it, Okay, so uh funny, mean and

115
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: mean spirited Clay. The original version of that sketch was

116
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: actually funny. It aired years ago, I don't know exactly when,

117
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: but they had Black Jeopardy was the was the you

118
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 4: know the title of the sketch. Tom Hanks was the

119
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: white guy, and there were a couple of other you know,

120
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: black snl It was I forget the guy who's what's

121
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: the guy who's the who's playing the host there?

122
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: I forget his name? And Keenan Thompson.

123
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: Keenan Thompson, he's been on the show for like amore,

124
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: he've been there forever. So so he was on and

125
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: a couple of other black actors were on, and the

126
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: original one was actually funny because it wasn't mean spirited

127
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: and really what it was, you know, they asked some

128
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: you know those Black Jeopardy asked them questions and the

129
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: Trump supporter answer was something that the black community or

130
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: members of the black community on the stage also agreed with.

131
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: The It was things like they would say, you know,

132
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: what happens if so and soon's the selection he goes.

133
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter because the uniparty runs it anyway, and

134
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: then all the you know, the black contestants are like

135
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: that's correct, like you know, and it actually was meant

136
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: to be funny. I think for everyone. That was one

137
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: of the more that's what's so disappointing, that was one

138
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: of the more popular recent black recent SNL sketches Black Jeopardy,

139
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: and so to take it and then just do this

140
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 4: kind of nasty, punching down thing and make it seem

141
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: like the guy is clearly supposed to be a racist.

142
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: I mean, that's where you know, the yesso was supposed

143
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: to be a racist. It's hard, it's hard to understand

144
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 4: the mindset of some of these people who are supposed

145
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 4: to be comedians. At this point, you've basically taken most

146
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 4: of the major comedy platforms that existed for you, you know,

147
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: your life and my life. I'm not talking about you know,

148
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: new Netflix specials and stuff. That's a new thing, right,

149
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: And Naperghatsy's blown up everywhere. He's fantastic, and there's all

150
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: these new comedians who actually are funny. You are doing

151
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 4: great stuff, but you look at you know SNL, The

152
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: Letterman Show, the What's the The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,

153
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: least funny man that could have possible bear God forbid albar.

154
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: They've destroyed all of these legacy comedy platforms, including SNL.

155
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: SNL has been trash for the entirety of the Trump

156
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: era and really before that, but certainly for the last

157
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: ten years just trash. I'm just surprised you watch it,

158
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: but good for you on stomaching through some of it.

159
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: Are stomaching some of it.

160
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: And it's just a shame because they even when the

161
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: market speaks to them, they don't change, they don't care.

162
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: And it's not only profoundly insulting. And let's also not

163
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: give Tom Hanks a pass here. Tom Hanks is supposed

164
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: to be this avuncular, incredibly likable everyman actor, and yet

165
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: he feels comfortable ridiculing every Trump supporter as a racist.

166
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: And this is actually the data.

167
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: This was the media doesn't want to tell you by

168
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: at large, certainly not in the legacy media.

169
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: But this is important. The twenty twenty four.

170
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: Election was the least racially polarized election in America since

171
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four. White black Asian Hispanic people have never

172
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: voted more similarly than we did in twenty twenty four.

173
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Trump has the least racially polarized electoral majority since Lyndon

174
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: Johnson in nineteen sixty four, pre Civil rights era votes.

175
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: So for most of you out there that are listening

176
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: to us right now, you have never lived in a

177
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: less racially polarized America than right now. As it pertains

178
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: the presidential election.

179
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 4: This is also when when the data, I think, speaks

180
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: so clearly on what happened versus what the narrative is.

181
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 4: The usage of You've seen this Elon actually a while ago,

182
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: I think, even before he owns Twitter X. I remember

183
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: him commenting on this that the explosion in the usage

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: of the terms racism, white supremacy, all this coincided with

185
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: Obama's election. The media, the media all of a sudden,

186
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 4: New York Times goes from using white supremacy like once

187
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 4: a year because I've never even met a white supremacist,

188
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: never seen a white SUPREMACIYT, never met a white supremacist,

189
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 4: I mean an actual white supremacist. And it goes from

190
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: you know, once a year they'll have some article till

191
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: like every day I mean an absolute explosion, clearly intentional,

192
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 4: and to really use to manipulate the public and use

193
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: narratives about racism so that there couldn't be opposition to Obama.

194
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: Early on in the Obama administration, criticism of Obama, and

195
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: I mean I remember because I was one of those

196
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: people criticizing Obama was racist, and that was that they

197
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 4: were happy to just leave it at that. Oh you

198
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: don't like Obama? Hmm, I wonder why you know? They

199
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 4: would play that game a lot Clay. Things have changed now.

200
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,119
Speaker 4: People have seen that those who would use those tactics

201
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: are always arguing in bad faith and actually don't even

202
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: care what the government, what the results are from an administration.

203
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: They just want their team and they want to silence

204
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 4: the other team, kind of like the German people knocking

205
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 4: on the doors.

206
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: It's also on an SNL front, incredibly lazy humor. To

207
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: your point, the pointing out that people who are look

208
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: different actually have many of the same opinions is actually

209
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: somewhat of a unique take, at least from a comedic perspective,

210
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: ie that Trump supporters and black voters back in twenty

211
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: fifteen actually overlapped on a lot of opinions, but they

212
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily vote like it. By twenty twenty four, you

213
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: are seeing Hispanic, Black, Asian and white voters I recognizing

214
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: that we actually have more in common than we do apart.

215
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: And this is where the real panic is setting in Buck.

216
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: Some of these Trump approval numbers are starting to be

217
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: eye opening, even to me. I saw Buck a plus

218
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: twelve Trump approval numbers coming out recently, and I think

219
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: that's because much of what he's doing is not partisan

220
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: in nature.

221
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 4: It's a lot of common sense. It's common sense. It's

222
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 4: sane versus insane, as we often talk about. I think

223
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: that's one of the guiding principles of the show, Sanity

224
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: versus insanity. Yes, in public policy and in the way

225
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: that we viewed, you know, things in day to day

226
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 4: life and Clay. This also goes to the sense of

227
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: what is the opposition They refuse to course correct you

228
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: would see it if they if they were doing it.

229
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: They fuse to look at what happened in this election

230
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: and say, you know what, we need to change messaging

231
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 4: on because they've gotten so deep on something that's kind

232
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 4: of like the Margaret Brennan thing. This is what you

233
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 4: look at Margaret Brennan Clay with the same versus insane paradigm,

234
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 4: and you go, the Nazis weren't pro free speech, you lunatic, right.

235
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 4: She looks at it and goes, this is I am

236
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: mouthing the preferred slogan. This is the narrative. The narrative

237
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,359
Speaker 4: is mean words from the disapproved people from the disapproved

238
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: right causes genocide. That's all that. That's she just those

239
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: are the orders. She's orders to say that kind of crap,

240
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: Which is why I think it's a great question. Is

241
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: she brainwashed or a moron? I don't think there's any

242
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 4: Maybe she could be a brainwashed moron. I guess she

243
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: could be both. But we'll take some of your calls

244
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: react to that. I just wanted to share that clip

245
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 4: with you because I do think it's going viral. And

246
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: last night was the fiftieth anniversary of SNL, and I

247
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: was hoping they would maybe be a little funny. Instead

248
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 4: they decided to tell you, hey, if you voted for Trump,

249
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 4: you're a racist and you hate black people. That's you know,

250
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 4: Margaret Brennan, I mean to go to this point, she's

251
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: she went to UVA, which for somebody not from Virginia

252
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: is even more impressive.

253
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: Greade school, no matter what.

254
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: But I mean, if you get into UVA from outside

255
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 4: of I know this because a lot of New Yorkers

256
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: wanted to go there, it's incredibly It's like getting the

257
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 4: U Michigan out of state incredibly hard. She was a

258
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: full bright scholar, she speaks fluent Arabic and uh yeah,

259
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: I mean I don't think she's dumb. I just think

260
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 4: she's just too deep into the machine to see what

261
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: the heck's really going on. Remember she was one of

262
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: the moderators of one of the debates, too, right. This

263
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: is just I mean, this is where on a bigger,

264
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 4: larger front, Republicans have to be smarter about who they

265
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: allowed to moderate. Going see see for me, one of

266
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: the competent, one of the complicated. And I know we

267
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 4: we got to take take a pause here. But someone

268
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 4: like Rachel Mattow also not dumb. Is she actually Brent

269
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: wash or she just pretending for the paycheck? That's what

270
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 4: that's I can't determine that with some of these libs

271
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: in the media at this point, who are not dumb,

272
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: but who say dumb things.

273
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: If every American took some time to relearn our constitution.

274
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: Imagine how more informed our opinions on government and politics

275
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: would be. I think that's particularly the case if we

276
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: just talked about Margaret Brennan and her discussion surrounding free

277
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: speech and how the Holocaust actually happened Hillsdale College. I

278
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: wish we could mandate every American watch some of these

279
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: videos that they have put together instructional courses for free

280
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: available at clayanbuckfour Hillsdale dot com. Look, history is the

281
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: fabric upon which opinions should be built.

282
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: And if you do not have a deep.

283
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Knowledge of American and world history, your ability to make

284
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,560

309
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 4: some of this free speech issues. Also over at the

310
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 4: Daily Wire, Michael Knowles had a really interesting exchange with

311
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 4: some LGBTQ plus activists. I don't know if this was

312
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: recent or if this is just an old clip that's resurfaced,

313
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 4: but it goes to what Clay and I were talking about.

314
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 4: When it comes to people who it doesn't matter what

315
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: the it doesn't matter what's true. They've been told they

316
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 4: must believe something and so they will believe it and

317
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 4: you can't convince them otherwise. We're talking about policy issues here, right,

318
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: We're not talking about what the outer edge of the

319
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 4: universe may be. So we will dive into some of that.

320
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 4: Also more on doge, so we shall discuss. But last

321
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: week's news on January inflation figures told us the news

322
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 4: we didn't want to hear. Inflation's up again more than

323
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: any time the past last year, it's Trump's administration focused

324
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 4: on it. Of course, is it going to be fixed overnight. No,

325
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: this is a decade's long problem that's going to take

326
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 4: years to get under control. And that's why you need

327
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: to take the long view and get some gold and

328
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: silver in your portfolio. A portion of your savings invested

329
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 4: in gold just makes sense. And Birch Gold Group can

330
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 4: help you with this. Their team at Birch Gold has

331
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 4: all the information you need to walk through the steps

332
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 4: of investing in gold. We trust Birch Gold, same company

333
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: that's got a new study on how gold will fare

334
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 4: in the Trump era with a forward by Donald Trump Junior.

335
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 4: I've just bought some more gold from Birch Gold recently

336
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: because I'm trying to build up a little bit of

337

Speaker 4: my reserve to prepare for an uncertain future. Text my

343
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, appreciate all

344
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: you hanging out with us. We were talking about Trump's

345
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: overall approval ratings skyrocketing. I saw him buck over the weekend,

346
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pull this up to make sure that

347
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: I get it right because it even made me like

348
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: do a double take. We mentioned Super Bowl Sunday, CBS

349
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: came out with a poll that showed Trump plus six nationwide,

350
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: plus twenty with men. And we had a lot of

351
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: discussion last week about why Democrats are struggling in such

352
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: a significant fashion when it came to mail voters. But

353
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: I saw this over the weekend and it just made

354
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: me kind of go wow. This is from RMG Research

355
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: and it's a fairly highly regarded poll. You know, they

356
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: value the polls to try to determine whether or not

357
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: they're right wing or left wing leaning. This is a

358
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: solid a solid poll Trump plus twelve job approval, fifty

359
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: five percent approve, forty three percent disapprove. We've never seen

360
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: anything like these numbers for Trump in his entire political career.

361
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: He's never been this positive. Buck And I understand people

362
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: are like nervous about polls and everything else, but I

363
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: do think the storyline is consistent here now, just as

364
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: a thought exercise, throwing this out to you and to

365
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: everyone right now, what would be the thing if you're

366
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: going to disapprove of Trump based on something he has

367
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: done since becoming president, what.

368
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: Would that thing be? When you look at what the

369
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 4: focus has been. These are at least sixty forty issues,

370
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 4: you know, give or take a few points, but these

371
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 4: are solid majority issues. And for the people who see

372
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 4: it that way, I absolutely do not care how much

373
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 4: they scream like Banshee's in DC when people from DOGE

374
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: are finding the waste, fraud and abuse, right you just

375
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: it's not like they have a point of view and

376
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 4: I have a point of view. It is like, no,

377
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: if you think wasting hundreds of billions of dollars of

378
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 4: tax payer money is a good thing, I don't care

379
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 4: what you think on the issue, you're you're crazy.

380
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: I think the only thing I can think of, buck

381
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: that Trump has really done in a month that could

382
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: be a fifty to fifty or maybe even under fifty

383
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: to fifty proposition is birthright citizenship. And to a large extent,

384
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: I think that's because most people have just not considered

385
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: birthright citizenship. In other words, the Overton window has been

386
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: opened up in many ways, and people are saying, well,

387
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: why do we do this for me? You know, I

388
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: did research and wrote about it my most recent book,

389
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: and so I think most people have really not thought

390
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: about it. But to your point, that's the only one,

391
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: and that's traditional politics. I don't have a problem. We

392
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: got Sometimes you need to advocate for think four things

393
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: that the Jordi doesn't believe in, because you're right and

394
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: you think you can convince them of the rightness of this.

395
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 4: Yes, sometimes sometimes there are issues. I mean, the one

396
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 4: that we ever always jumps, who is like, well, what

397
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: should the federal First of all, I think there should

398
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: be no income tax. That's a crazy idea, is that up?

399
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 4: But Trump likes it too. But you know, there's going

400
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 4: to be some things where you've just got to set

401
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 4: a boundary. To set a boundary, you got to set

402
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: the line, and you can debate the line, and that's fine.

403
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 4: There's no debate to be had on should violent gang

404
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 4: members convicted of serious crimes who have no right to

405
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 4: be in the United States continue to stay here and

406
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 4: enjoy status as somebody who gets access to this beautiful,

407
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 4: wonderful country of ours. Absolutely not that it's not a

408
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 4: reasonable position, and be like, you know what, I think

409
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 4: the MS thirteen hit man that's already served fifteen years

410
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 4: for manslaughter, I think we shouldn't deport him. If you

411
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 4: think that, you're unreasonable, You're crazy. I don't care what

412
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 4: your opinion is. Same thing with the Doge fraud stuff.

413
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 4: If you think that people who are dead should be

414
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: getting Social Security payments, I don't know what to say

415
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: to that person. Why would that? Why does that make

416
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 4: any sense? I think that's one hundred percent right.

417
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: And the reason I gave that prelude is I wanted

418
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: to play this. Our friend Michael Knowles over at The

419
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: Daily Wire had a debate argument set up with LBGTQ

420
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: plus activists, in particular over whether men should be involved

421
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: in women's sports, which Buck is a great example of

422
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: something that is a eighty twenty issue now nationwide according

423
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: to the New York Times polls, that much of public

424
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: opinion has moved in. I would say common sense direction.

425
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: This is an argument I believe we have won this

426
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: show OutKick people like Riley Gaines Paula Scanlon speaking out

427
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: after the Leah Thomas ridiculousness of a man pretending to

428
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: be a woman winning a women's NCAA championship, which, by

429
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: the way, should be stripped from him and given to

430
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: the woman who finished in second place. Frankly, I don't

431
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: even think that's a difficult call. But here they are arguing,

432
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: and one of the things you'll hear, this happens all

433
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: the time, that doesn't That's what they argued with me

434
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: for a long time over this, Well, that doesn't happen

435
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: so much, very often. I don't know why you care.

436
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: And then Michael Knowles immediately comes back with the hard

437
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: data on how often it does happen, and you'll see

438
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: the immediate pivot in the argument. It takes about twenty

439
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: five seconds.

440
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 2: Listen, let us transgenderism and public look like to.

441
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 8: You, it's allowing men to be treated for the purposes

442
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 8: of the law as women. It's men taking nine hundred

443
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 8: sports trophies from women.

444
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 2: In recent years. And they didn't take nine.

445
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 8: They took nine hundred. This report just came out from

446
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 8: the United Nations. Actually eight hundred and ninety trophies and

447
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 8: medals across six hundred women who were competing competitors across

448
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 8: twenty nine different sports and four hundred competitions that came

449
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 8: out like yesterday, and they deserve them.

450
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: It didn't happen and they deserve them. Okay, that is

451
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: the logic I hear from the pro transcrapt Knowles hailed

452
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: it perfectly. I just I just want to say this man.

453
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 4: That is the Democrat mindset, that of the true believers

454
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 4: distilled into one SoundBite. You're lying, it's not happening, and

455
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 4: if it is happening, it's a good thing.

456
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: It is happening. Oh, I'm glad. This is the approach.

457
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: This is the approach to everything. The why do you care?

458
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: Is the number?

459
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: Is the first argument, Right, why do you care? It's

460
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: not happening? Why do you care? It's happening and it's

461
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: a good thing. And my answer to that, because some

462
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: of you may get this argument, my answer to that

463
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: is I care because I believe in fairness of competition.

464
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: That's the very foundation of competition in general.

465
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 4: I'll just tell you I actually the way I see it,

466
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 4: on the spectrum, we can sort of debate this, but

467
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 4: I think it's flat denial, which is what that that

468
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: woman did. And I'm assuming her gender. I think it's

469
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: a woman. I don't know, but based only that's accurate.

470
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: It is a woman so far as we can tell,

471
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 4: as far as I know identify as a woman.

472
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 2: It isn't happening.

473
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 4: And then it goes to, uh, it is, it is happening,

474
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 4: but not that much.

475
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: Why do you care?

476
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, like like you're exaggerating. Oh, it's it's just

477
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 4: a few, it's just a few transactletes. It's just a

478
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 4: few people. Why do you care so much? And then

479
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: they transition to yeah, it's happening all the time, and

480
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 4: it's a good thing, and the same. It's not that

481
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: the argument moves sort of this vague sense. A person

482
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 4: who will tell you the first thing will then tell

483
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 4: you the second, will then tell you the third, and

484
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 4: you can show them the clips of themselves and they're like, yeah,

485
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 4: it's just like it's just like what what communists always do,

486
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: which is the argument is all in favor of what

487
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: they want. It doesn't matter what's actually happening.

488
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: That's so true. It's so true.

489
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: And I think it goes to why is Trump's approval

490
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: rating going up all over the country because most of

491
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: what he's doing is not particularly partisan. In fact, do

492
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: we have the audio of I think it's worth playing

493
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: the audio out there.

494
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: Did you hear.

495
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Obama and Biden saying, Hey, we've got to go find

496
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: all of the different all of the different wasteful spending

497
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: and fraud that exists in the United States government. Let

498
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: me play this cut for you. We can react to it,

499
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: and we come back in a little bit. Here Buck,

500
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: this is Obama and then Vice President Joe Biden talking

501
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: about the need to cut the budget and find all

502
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: the fraud there.

503
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: This was just about a decade ago.

504
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: Now it's controversial when Elon does it, but back when

505
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: Obama and Biden were in charge, it was just good governance.

506
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: Listen to cuttle.

507
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 5: Budget reform is not an option, it's a necessity.

508
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 9: The American people are entitled to transparency.

509
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 5: We can't sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer

510
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 5: dollars on programs that have outlived their usefulness or exist

511
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 5: solely because of the power of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups.

512
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 9: They're entitally being able to figure out where their dollars

513
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 9: are going, and they're entitled to accountability to make sure

514
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 9: that we're using the dollars for what we said it

515
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 9: was for.

516
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 5: We are going to go through our federal budget as

517
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 5: I promised during the campaign, page by page, line by line,

518
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 5: eliminating those programs we don't need, and insisting that those

519
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 5: that we do need operate in a sensible, cost effective way.

520
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 5: It should be easy is getting rid of the pointless

521
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 5: waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody.

522
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: We hope to be.

523
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 9: Instilling an entire new culture that not only our administration,

524
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 9: but every succeeding administration will in fact pursue.

525
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 5: No amount of waste is acceptable, not when it's your money.

526
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: Fuck.

527
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: This was a decade ago conventional wisdom, not considered to

528
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: be remotely political. You could basically put those quotes in

529
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Elon Musk's mouth right now, and he is saying the

530
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: exact same thing that Barack Obama and Joe Biden said

531
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: just about a decade ago.

532
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 4: Well, but this is also because it's it's a clear

533
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 4: majority issue, meaning even Democrats know that on those things,

534
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: on things like just wasting taxpayers, straight up wasting tax

535
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: payer dollars, and we're not talking about the USAID thing.

536
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: Should we be funding you know, I mean, I think

537
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: that's a waste. But there's different degrees of waste. Right,

538
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 4: there's funding the transgender puppet shows in ulan Bator, and

539
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 4: then there's sending hundreds of millions, maybe even billions of

540
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: dollars to fraud rings in like the former Soviet Republic

541
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 4: and in Southeast Asia for Medicare payments that never org

542
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 4: Medicare Medicaid payments that never should have gone out. Like,

543
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: it's not possible to make an argument in favor of

544
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 4: that stuff, clay right, No one would ever do that. However,

545
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: Democrats also know that when Obama and Biden, when they

546
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: say that stuff, it's just words. It's words to fool

547
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 4: the normies, it's words to make the Democrats seem like

548
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: normis when really they're going to pursue the objectives that

549
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 4: we've seen over the last decade. Just like on the border,

550
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: by the way, you listen to stuff that the deporter

551
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: in chief. You listen what Obama says on the border,

552
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 4: and if you say that stuff now to a lot

553
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 4: of Democrats, I mean basically any true believer Democrat, they

554
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 4: say that you're like a xenophobic, racist maniac. I could

555
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: take a transcript of Obama on the border from his

556
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 4: first term, Clay, and if I went on, you know,

557
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 4: I'm trying to of what left wing shows.

558
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 2: Can I even go on these days? I don't know.

559
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: I went on, there we go, thank you. If I

560
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 4: went on the view, I don't think Sonny Hostain would

561
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 4: like what I had to say about immigration. Using Obama's

562
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 4: exact words from a decade ago.

563
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: Would actually be a great test, just to go on

564
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: and just memorize exactly what he said.

565
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: Say, I'm back.

566
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: There's probably a video of her talking about how much

567
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: common sense it was. Then, by the way, you mentioned

568
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: that in the third hour, we should dive into the

569
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: border completely shut down. Tom Hollman is doing any credible job?

570
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, everybody is get the border shut down.

571
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: It's basically not a story already, you know, to talk about, oh,

572
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: what has Trump done in less than a month. We're

573
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna hit you with some of these numbers. We come

574
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: back in the third hour here in a little bit,

575
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: and I saw Bill Malugin, who, by the way, I said,

576
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: should be you know, order shirtless swimsuit.

577
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm all about ratings. Put him in a swimsuit.

578
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: Let him stand there, maybe a knee deep in the

579
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: in the Rio grand and I think numbers would go

580
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: up in a big way.

581
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: He tweeted.

582
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: You can't even find an illegal immigrant crossing the southern

583
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: border right now. Remember you used to be able to

584
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: just take a camera and you could see the caravan

585
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: coming right across the border. The border is completely shut

586
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: down without any congressional act. One of the big lies

587
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: they all told us Buck was and some Republicans went

588
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: along with this. Oh yes, we can't solve the border

589
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: without congress acting. Trump got his pen, they got to pay.

590
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: He signed all those executive orders, and suddenly the border

591
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: is completely closed again. We'll talk about it in a

592
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: little bit, But in Israel today there's a peace. We

593
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: hope the peace is going to last. But there is

594
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid given the

595
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: disruption and displacement over the last year. The International Fellowship

596
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews has continued to support those in

597
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: the Holy Land facing the lingering horrors of war and

598
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 1: those who are in desperate.

599
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: Need right now.

601

Speaker 1: critically needed aid to communities in the North and South

602
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: devastated by the ongoing war. The International Fellowship of Christians

603
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: and Jews pays attention to those in need. I've seen

604
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: it firsthand on my trip to Israel that I took

605
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: in December. You can provide hope during a time of

606
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: great uncertainty with your gift that will do so much

607
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,000

00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 6: many supporters it's now fashionable. They can say it out loud,

623
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 6: and they're out loud and proud Trump is in the

624
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 6: league because they know that in America, whatever goes on

625
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 6: here it trickles down to them.

626
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 4: And Marty are Marty just so unclear? You're you're telling

627
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: us that Trump is big in the land down under.

628
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 6: Oh, yes he is.

629
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 5: Uh.

630
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 6: There's a few haters, but you know you can't change

631
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 6: their mind. They're gonna hate. Uh, So we have to

632
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 6: show them the other side. And that's what we do.

633
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 6: We walk around like walking billboards. We have our Trump

634
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 6: hat on. It's amazing, I'm telling you amazing.

635
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: So you this is this is great.

636
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: I went to Australia about what a year and a

637
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: half ago or so last last I guess it was

638
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: last Christmas, and I found that there were a lot

639
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: of Trump supporters there.

640
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: Marty.

641
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm curious. You said you went with a bunch of grandmothers.

642
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: I hope your trip was fabulous, because it is a

643
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: beautiful country. But I have found that and this is

644
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: what we were talking about earlier, Buck, many people in

645
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: other countries. There's a lot Canadians listening to us right now.

646
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Europeans that agree with a lot

647
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: of what Trump is doing as well. They don't have

648
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: political leaders that are saying what Trump is saying. And

649
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: so to your point, Marty, they're actually looking to the

650
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: United States as a great beacon of freedom because they

651
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: can't find it in their own country.

652
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 6: Excellent, that's a perfect description. Perfect And I'm gonna tell

653
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 6: you no, we go as snapping Granny's there's two of us.

654
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 6: We've been doing this for nine years when it was

655
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 6: not fashionable. Stand for Trump. We stand by that man,

656
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 6: We stand by all that's going on, and we are

657
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 6: so proud that once again maybe our voices can be

658
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 6: heard again.

659
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. We're glad you made it

660
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: back safe. It's a beautiful country. I loved my time

661
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: in Australia, but Buck, I hear from a lot of

662
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: these Australians. I hear from a lot of Canadians English

663
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: language speakers, in particular in England certainly that their leadership

664
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: won't advocate for them in a way that Trump is

665
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: advocating for Americans here, and so they look to him

666
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: not only as a beacon of light for what he's

667
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: doing in America, but as hopefully an inspiration to lead

668
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: leaders in other Western speaking, Western civilized English speaking countries

669
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: to lead the charge.

670
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 4: And we get a sense of how much that is

671
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 4: needed right now considering the hits that freedom is taking

672
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 4: in Canada, in Australia, in Great Britain, a lot of

673
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 4: places that need a reminder about the greatness and their

674
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 4: role in the greatness of Western civilization with freedom at

675
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 4: the core of it all. We are going to dive

676
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 4: into this and more on Doge and Clay's going to

677
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 4: talk about the Daytona five hundred with Trump and other

678
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 4: great things in the third Hour, which is coming up
