Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. And the hits keep on coming
from President Trump all weekend long. I mean just more
and more good stuff, more good things happening. We will
break it down today. Stuff that involved the border, international relations, deportations,
(00:23):
di programs, and also our own JD. Vance, Vice President
Vance went on the one of the Sunday shows with
CBS's Margaret Brennan, very smug leftist and did a phenomenal job,
which is not surprising.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
JD.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Vance is incredibly smart, very good on his feet, and
so anybody who is concerned, why is JD going right
back to fake news media CBS Sunday show so that
he could maybe pull up a school bus because school
was indeed in session. We'll play some of those clips
for you. It was really quite an ordeal for the host.
(01:08):
I think it was not what she was expecting. So
we'll get into all of this and a lot more.
But first up on the immigration on the border, Clay,
we had a couple of big things that happened over
the weekend. Well, one is you had the president of Columbia,
initially the Colombian government refusing to take back illegals who
(01:30):
are Columbia nationals, and President Trump put out, you know what,
if you don't take him, we are going to basically
cease doing business with Colombia and cancel all of your visas.
And guess what happened. Everybody Columbia goes. You know what,
We're going to take back the illegals who are Columbia nationals.
These are their people, These are Colombians. They are not
(01:52):
our responsibility. This is not that they're supposed to work.
But beyond that, Clay over the weekend, Martha raddits fake
news host. I don't know why anyone still watches these
shows though. Now it's kind of amusing because you have
Trump people going on spiking the football on the end
zone over and over again. But she was asking Tom
Homan about deportation flights. This is cut seven, Tom Homan,
(02:15):
the iceman, fantastic play.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
It those military flights going south, as you said, we
have never seen that before. Is that going to be
a constant commitment from the US military every single day
to take deporges out?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So is this what we will see every single day?
Ending in What the President has promised is millions and
millions being deported.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yes, but you're going to see the number steadily increase.
The number of rest of the nationwide as we open
up the aperture right now is contentry in public safety threads,
national security threads. That's a smaller population. So we're going
to do this on priority based, as President TUN's promise.
But as that aperture opens, there'll be more arrest nationwide.
If you're in the country illegally, you're on the table.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Play telling Martha right right there. Not only is this
going to continue, it's going to get a lot bigger.
There's going to be a lot more day to day.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
The Columbia interaction is I think Trump perfection. And for
people out there who may have been busy because it
happened quickly and it was in the middle of the
AFC and the NFC Championship games going on, I know
everybody's busy on the weekends. Colombia said we're not going
to take back the illegals that the United States is deporting,
(03:31):
and the Colombian president made a big statement and he
puffed his chest out, and Trump said, Okay, We're going
to immediately put twenty five percent tariffs on all Colombian goods.
We are going to restrict all entering of the country
from Colombian nationals, and a couple of other things. And
(03:51):
with Buck within, I couldn't even catch up on my
Twitter feed. Before I even got to modern time, Columbia
had buckled, and the president of Columbia actually retweeted the
statement that Caroline Levitt, White House spokesperson now put out,
essentially acknowledging total victory for Trump. And I saw a
(04:15):
lot of people reacting to this. To me, Buck, this
is how government should work, because it's how a good
business works. And some of you out there may say, Okay,
how exactly do you break that down? Government is very ponderous.
Everything takes a long time. There's all these meetings, there's
all these people who share and clear their throat. There's
(04:38):
all these deputy bureaucrats who then way into senior bureaucrats,
who then way into other elected officials. Nothing ever happens
because they're all happy to just sit around talking. Trump
moved at the speed of successful business. Okay, they're doing something.
We're going to react. There will be consequences if they
make that choice. And columb immediately set down and said, Okay,
(05:03):
we'll take back the immigrants and we'll use Colombia's version
of Air Force one to do it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
This is what Trump was elected to do. And one
of the things that I think the media is kind
of staggered by the audio that you played, Tom Holman says, yes,
we're gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
All Trump is doing.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
And I love him for it is exactly what he
ran his entire campaign saying he was gonna do. I
think so many people in America, media and otherwise are
used to being lied to by politicians and they presume, oh,
he's saying that, But when he gets into office, he's
really Trump tells you exactly what he's gonna do. He
(05:41):
now and this is the significant part, Buck. He now
is surrounded by hyper competent studs in his government who
can make what he wants to be the policy happened.
It's not helter skelter, it's not slap dash. Yeah, I
bet Steven Miller hasn't slept in four months. But he
is implementing so much of this, Buck, and it's efficiently working.
(06:05):
Trump has the right people in position, and I freaking
love every day that I wake up and see what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Isn't it amazing? Also how the expectation, the paradigm shifts
so rapidly. Of course, Columbia should take back Colombian nationals
who entered our country illegally and then committed serious crimes here. Hey,
this is this is it's such a the most thing,
the most obvious thing in the world. People go, oh,
my gosh, she's deporting these people. Yeah, every other country
(06:34):
in the world that could would do this. There is
no country that would say, oh, you're not supposed to
be here and you rape somebody. But you know, America
is a land of immigrants or you know whatever the
country is, the land of immigrants, Like, nobody would do that.
But that's become normalized in America. It's absolutely outrageous. And
beyond that, something else that has been normalized is President
(06:55):
Trump it well, i should say previous presidents the Trump
It's oh tiny country that desperately relies on the United
States for a whole range of things and has a
very small GDP and has interests that the United States
has a large hand in. We'll just do whatever. You say.
Think about how crazy this is. But if all these
(07:16):
little countries, oh, I'm gonna go complain about you with
the UN or something. Oh my gosh, please don't do that.
Whatever you want, you know, send us more of your
illegal send us more criminals, send us more gang member,
send us more MS thirteen whatever, Clay. That was the
way it was going for certainly the Biden administration, the
Obama administration. Trump was trying to turn it around in
his first term. And it's remarkable that here we all
(07:39):
were seeing this. And it's not just that sanity is returning.
The obvious thing is the thing that Trump is willing
to do. And it's like the whole world of the
Democrats has been turned on its head. And I should
also add the lawful thing. The obvious lawful thing is
crazy Town to Democrats. Now, that's how things gone. And
(08:01):
I think we're just seeing at the beginning of this.
You know, Tom Holman, the guy doesn't play around. He's
not joking, he's he's not doing this to, you know,
to get clicks online or something. He says they're gonna
be ramping up deportations. I take him out as people
are saying.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
It's only a thousand a day. I can do the math.
Three hundred and sixty five.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Thous it's gonna get much It's gonna get much more interesting.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I'll put it to you that way. I also think
it's not just the deportations. This is super important and
I haven't heard it talked about as much. One, the
border now is basically sealed, So the idea of adding
more one of the first things you have to do
whenever you've got a major problem is what stop the
major problem from getting worse. So we now have sealed
(08:45):
effectively the southern border.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Here's what I think is also gonna happen. I think
a lot of people are gonna start self deporting, meaning
they're looking around recognizing that the same amount of incredible
munificence from if I pronounce that word correctly, from the
United States government, all of this money that we were
(09:08):
pouring into the illegal community and all the opportunity we
were giving them, that's drying up. So you're both systemically
making first first thing, make the problem no worse. We're
doing that. Two, begin the deportations. But three, I think
there's some guys and gals that'll start looking around and say, wait,
do I want to wait for someone to show up
(09:28):
at my door and suddenly becoming after me, maybe I
shouldn't be here, And I think some of these people
will start to leave.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
There's going to be a I agree with the self
deportation component of it. It also decreases, so you said
border sealed effectively, or it's the crossings are way way
way down, so that means you have less people coming in,
which is a good thing. You have the worst of
the worst criminals who are legals in this country rounded up.
It's also oh on the obvious and lawful. Just one
(09:58):
more thing, the fact we could get these individuals. It's
not like it was that hard. In some cases you're
reading these stories, they just yeah, we know where that
guy is, what was what was ice? And what were
the Biden administration immigration authorities doing for the last four years? Oh,
we know they were waiving everybody in and letting them
get away with that, and letting them get away with
(10:20):
violating our laws and the trust and and the generosity
of the American people. Of course we should be sending
people out of the country who are in this category again,
obvious and lawful. But Clay, I think that the other
piece of this, and no one's really seen much of
this yet I think there will eventually be in there's
going to have to be enforcement raids against businesses who
(10:44):
are exploiting illegals for financial gain, doing so on violation
of law, and putting the burden of this on the
American people and on the American working class particularly. That's
that's not going to fly either. I think that's coming
as well, which is going to change the dynamics substantially,
no doubt.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
And again what I just come back to is promise
has made, Promise is kept, and so far by focusing
I think very smartly on gathering people with criminal records
and starting the deportations with them, it has been very hard.
I don't know if you have felt like Democrats are
(11:21):
sort of standing there with no idea how to really respond. Now,
I'm sure again prepare for it. There is going to
be some mom who gets separated from her three year
old and AOC is going to show up in a
white outfit and start crying, and the media is going
to go and cover this. That's coming. I don't know
how long it's going to take. They're going to use
(11:41):
anecdote of deportation that wasn't going perfectly as evidence of
why all deportations shouldn't happen, and that's a failed media
strategy because anecdote should be illustration of larger issue, not outlier.
But that's what the media has perfected. But so far
there doesn't seem to be any real opposition to it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Buck. I don't think the guilt weapon on this is
going to work the way that it has in the
past either, because we the American people, for four years
of Biden were just grotesquely abused on this issue of
illegal immigration, and cities like New York and Chicago, Democrat
(12:23):
uniparty cities were also having tremendous trouble because of this.
So it's clear to everybody what the costs are, what
the downsides are. I think the American people are at
the enough stage now that may change to your point
about they're going to start having you know, teary eyed
grandma's and oh, my family's been separated. But you know,
(12:45):
I think that the leeway to do a lot of
what is lawful and obvious on immigration is much greater
now that it has been in a long time. You know,
there's a COVID relief program for self employed folks ten
ninety nine contractors and gig workers that's about to end.
You can receive up to thirty two two hundred dollars
with the Sick and Family Leave Credit, designed to support
(13:07):

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Post talking about what happened over the course of the weekend.
I'm sorry to all of the Buffalo bill fans out
there listening to us right now, and I imagine you
are Legion. I don't know that, Buck notice, but for
a fourth time, the Buffalo Bills lost to the Kansas
City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes really kind of cementing himself as
(14:24):
the Michael Jordan of the NFL. Doesn't really matter who
you are. Almost impossible to beat him, Chiefs going for
a third straight Super Bowl title. I'll be down in
New Orleans next week, looking forward to doing the show
Thursday Friday. From there as we get well, I guess
I'll be Yeah, it'll be next week as we get
(14:44):
ready for the super Bowl. But that happening, and we'll
have some fun with that maybe a little bit later
and we talk.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
About prize picks.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
But Buck, I want to play this audio because I
thought it was fantastic. Trump was in Las Vegas over
the weekend and he was walking around the Circa casino.
Now you were just in Las Vegas, Buck, what Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday ish of last week doing I don't think people
were chanting USA, USA, USA as you walk through the casino.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You don't like to gamble that much. I like to gamble.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I like sitting at a blackjack table. I like hanging
out having some drinks gambling. There was one clip that
went megaviral of Trump walking up next to a guy
while he's at the crafts table, and anyone who has
ever gambled at a casino table, can you imagine what
(15:42):
it would be like to have the freaking president of
the United States walk up to talk to you while
you're at the crafts table, or while you're playing black
tac or whatever table game of choice you like to
be involved in.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I just it is.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Trump in the public is the best version of Trump,
whether it's at a McDonald's, whether it's at getting a
Philly cheese steak in Philly, congratulations of the Eagles who
are going to be in the super Bowl. Wherever he
might be, this is the best version of him. And
here is what it sounded like as he walked through
(16:19):
the casino. This is the circa casino Vegas over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Listen how badass is that?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And you need to see the video. It's up. We'll
put it up at Clay and Buck if you want.
It's up on my Twitter feed.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
I just the vibe I know we talk about it,
but the vibe shift is just so remarkable. In the
space of just a couple of months, we've gone from
a guy who basically can't walk as the president and
of the United States, somebody who regularly Trump I saw
him talking about it that world leaders would call and
(17:07):
Biden couldn't get on the phone and even talk with him.
He didn't have the ability to do the job, to
a guy just boldly striding everywhere.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We mentioned it.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Friday, buck Trump was in North Carolina, Western North Carolina,
drawing attention to the continued failure of the federal government
to do enough to help people get back up on
their feats in that region of the country. He also
flew to la and I want to play this because
he's in a city that overwhelmingly voted against him. He's
sitting next to the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass,
(17:38):
And you know what Trump's saying, Hey, let people get
out and start cleaning their lot, let them start rebuilding. Now, listen, you.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Will be able to go back soon.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
We think within a week.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Every that's a long time.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
A week.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
I'll be honest to me that everyone's standing in front
of the House they want to go to work and
they're not allowed to do it.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
People to be safe.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
This if this safe, you know what, They're not safe.
They're not safe. Now they're going to be much safer.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
A week.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
A week is actually a long time the way I
look at it, I watched hundreds of people standing in
front of their lots and they're not allowed to go in.
It's all burned, it's gone, it's done. Nothing's going to
happen to it. It's not going to burn anymore. There's nothing
to burn. There's almost nothing to burn. And they want
to go in there. The people are all over the place.
They're standing and they say, warren't you're going in. We're
(18:31):
trying to get a permit, and the permit's going to
take them. Everybody said eighteen months, you said eighteen months,
you said eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I can't even see our homes right now, we are
blocked from entering our street. True. I love this buck,
I love it. I love it, I love it. Yeah,
it's fantastic, and it shows you that President Trump is
not going to be held back by misguided a misguided
sense of oh well, it's The mayor of Los Angeles
(19:04):
is speaking on this issue, so all of a sudden,
everything that I know in my lifetime as somebody in
and around construction and building, you know, he's just going
to lay it out there. He's just going to say
what needs to be said, instead of a sense of
a false hierarchy. Well, I mean, he's the president, but
you know, a false hierarchy of well, you know, this
(19:26):
person's the closer to the issue, and so I'll let
her say whatever she wants to say, even if I disagree.
So I think it's fantastic to see the president just
letting it, letting it fly, and that's what people voted for,
that's what they want. And on the issue of Los
Angeles and the wildfire specifically, it's been horrendous. And also
it's interesting because that kind of ties into the FEMA
(19:47):
conversation too. What was FEMA there helping people saving their houses? No,
of course not. FEMA's going to show up in the
aftermath and probably make a lot of things harder than
they would otherwise be. You know, people in North Carolina,
you know, are having remember that Hurricane FEMA's showing up
like now in some places for the first time. You
know that people are getting knocks on their door from FEMA.
(20:09):
It's like, oh, it's been months, we thought we'd come
by and see how you're doing. So there's a lot
that I think could be improved upon here. But you know,
Donald Trump in terms of FEMA, but Donald Trump coming
forward to Clay and speaking about it in this way
is exactly what we want to see. And I think
a lot of people in Los Angeles, even some people
(20:29):
who didn't vote for Trump, want to see it.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
This is important. And that's the other thing I wanted
to hammer home about this. Not only is this the
best version of Trump. I understand because I posted a
video of this and a lot of you every now
and then I go in because it's chaos in the
Twitter streets and I want to read some of the comments,
and a lot of people said, well, this is what
they get for the way they voted. And I get
(20:52):
that there are consequences to the election choices that you make.
But if you are like me and you want America
to be great again, you want America to be better,
you have to persuade people of the correctness of the
path that you are on. And this, to me is
(21:14):
why Trump's approval ratings are going up it's not because
suddenly the diehards who supported Trump in sixteen and twenty
and twenty four are even more excited about supporting Trump.
I get it. I love you guys. If you voted
for Trump three times, congratulations, you were right. But being
(21:37):
right's not enough.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You have to.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Persuade other people that they were wrong. And a lot
of times we missed the persuasion part here. And the
only way to really get the country moving is for
around sixty percent of people to say, you know what,
Trump's on the right agenda, because then the opposition becomes
a substantial minority. And Buck, I think you're right. I
(22:00):
said this, I tweeted it. I bet seventy or eighty
percent of those people in the Palisades voted for Karen
Bass and they voted for Kamala Harris. And you know what,
when they watched that clip, they're gonna say, wait a minute,
Trump's doing a better job advocating for me being able
to go to my own property and get rebuilt as
fast as possible than the people I voted for. Maybe
(22:21):
I got something wrong, Maybe I misread Trump. Maybe I'm
not seeing the real Trump. Maybe the legacy media led
me astray. You guys know this, but I think.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's so important.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Being willing to admit you were wrong is one of
the hardest things for any human to do. We will
as a group and as a society, people hate admitting
they were wrong more than they hate being wrong. Think
about that, and so it's hard to get people to
change their minds. But I know that it's happening, Buck,
(22:57):
because sixty five million people voted for Trump and twenty sixteen,
by twenty twenty four, seventy seven million. Did A lot
of people listening to us right now didn't vote Trump
in sixteen. They may not have voted Trump in twenty.
Now you recognize by twenty four, you know what He's
right about a lot of these things. I think the
event that he did in La, I think all over
(23:18):
LA there text threads of people who voted Kamala and
Karen Bass saying, man, I didn't vote Trump, But he's
really right about the fact in how we're going to
rebuild here. That opening gives an opportunity to change the
world if enough people start stepping through that opening.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, certainly in the case of Los Angeles, as we've discussed,
if you live in a very fancy neighborhood of LA
and LA is really many connected cities. Right, if you
live in downtown Los Angeles, as we've discussed Santa Monica,
it feels like it could be in another state. I mean,
these are very disparate places. And what happened here was
(23:56):
that I think a lot of the elite voting block
of Los Angeles that writes big checks and has big
houses and has millions and millions of dollars, their decision
making about who they voted for seemed suddenly like it mattered, right,
all of a sudden, it wasn't. Oh, other people have
(24:17):
to deal with crime, Other people have to deal with
the legal aliens. You know, that's their issue. I get
to vote for Democrats and feel good about myself because
Democrats care. And now all of a sudden, it's well,
my house burned down, My you know, four million or
ten million dollar house or whatever it is, burned down,
and I still haven't been able to go to it.
And I think the people in charge of morons. And
(24:37):
I've heard this secondhand from a lot of people who
have friends that have lost houses and stuff, that they
are outraged at how incompetent and how Remember there's the
there's the lack of competency during the fires, but you
could argue the even bigger thing, Clay, is the lack
of adequate preparation before the fires. So so turning around
(24:58):
to say to everybody, you know, as Gavin Newsom, He's like, hey,
the local people are gonna have to figure out what
happened to those fire hydrants. It's like the fire hydrants
running out of water is unacceptable, okay. And they could say, well,
there's nothing we can do about it now, you know, sorry,
Well yeah, but you should have done something about it before.
And that's where I think there's just no excuse. And
(25:20):
there's been a recognition of what a total disaster it
has been out there, and you know, Trump's coming out
there and he's just telling them like it is, which
is this whole thing has just been a mess, an
absolute mess, and a tragedy for a lot of people,
and the high taxes they pay. You know, Margaret Brennan
took that shot. We had people calling in that wanted
to defend their state story. We know Alabama, and time back,
(25:44):
I got your Clay. Clay is certainly not letting any
of that slide. But you look at the fourteen percent
tax you pay if you're in the high bracket in California,
thirteen and change whatever it is. It's not like you
get better services. It's not like the people in charge
are making smarter decisions. So that's also, I think, quite
(26:05):
a bit of a wake up call.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Not if you said to people, what is the number
one thing you think the government should do? Put out
fires is probably the number one thing when something is burning,
I want the fire department to show up and put
it out. Despite everything that they're paying in California buck
highest taxes anywhere in the country, they have lost the
(26:29):
ability to put out fires. Competence matters. And I think
when you see Trump, whatever you think about him, the
guy's built a lot over the years. All he's saying
is people should be able to start to clean up
their lots and begin the process of rebuilding immediately. That's
what I would want to do, is that what you
run up your house, bumps down and by the way,
you know what's going to happen a lot of people,
(26:51):
if you don't allow them to do it, they're gonna leave.
Because if you've got a family and you've got the
resources as some of the people do in the Palisades,
if you're not allowing them to immediately start the rebuild process.
Building and rebuilding is hard, it's a grind. It's not
easy to go through that process. Some of them are
(27:12):
just gonna say, screw it. I'm moving to Florida, I'm
going to Tennessee, I'm going to Texas. I'm done with
these governments. That tax dollars is leaving forever, and they're
just gonna walk away. It's not even just that it's
the right thing to do morally. We like to talk
about this buck, it's the right thing to do politically
because you need those people and their incomes and their
(27:33):
resources rebuilding immediately. So it's not only that you're doing
the wrong thing for them individually. You're actually encouraging them
to just say I'm done, I can't deal with this anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yep. There's a lot going on, that's for sure, and
we try to bring it to speed on everything here.
But you might have seen with this deep seek Chinese
AI thing, all of a sudden, the whole future of
AI feels shakier to people. Market gets hit, a lot
of stocks get hit. The economy can change very rapidly.
Just because it feels good right now, just because Trump
(28:07):
is doing good things, doesn't mean that that thirty six
trillion dollars if debt has gone away, doesn't mean that
we couldn't see continued inflation chipping away your savings or
something far more catastrophic down the line. That's why it's
worth diversifying some of the cash you have into gold now.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you guys rolling with us as we are breaking
down everything took place over the weekend. We mentioned that
the Trump deportations, which is rapidly underway, illegal violent criminals
being arrested all over the country and sent back to
(29:54):
their home countries, and we said, hey, you should prepare
yourself for a pushback, and it will be an emotional one.
It won't be a logical one. Because if you engage
in this issue in any way in a logical fashion,
what's the argument against deporting illegals who are committing violent
acts here? It's one of the easiest decisions out there.
(30:18):
But when you talk about emotions, people often don't respond
in a coherent fashion. I want to play this for
you because it has gone megaviral and it is an
example of what I think you should prepare yourself for. Also,
I think Republicans need to have still spines here. Steel
spines do not allow these emotional appeals to impact what
(30:42):
is the logical and right choice. But here is Selena Gomez, actress?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
What is she?
Speaker 5 (30:49):
And Buck was wicked? I think you're asking the wrong guy.
She's an Amelia Perez right now, I understand, but wasn't she?
Also is that Ariana Grande. I'm gonna be honest. I
kind of get those two mixed up. But Arianna was
in Wicked. Sorry for being racist. Here is Selena Gomez
complaining about illegals being taken out of the country.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I just shouldn't say that.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Only people are getting detected, the children.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
They don't understand.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
They're so sorry.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I wish I could do something that you can't.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
I'll try everything.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
All right, Selena Gomez crying there? Buck, can we adopt
as a preliminary if you take a video of yourself
crying by yourself and then choose to post it. That's
kind of a weird thing to do, right, Like there's
nobody else around, You're sitting in your kitchen, you record
your self crying, and then you decide to post it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Now.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
She since deleted this video, but it is going megaviral,
lots of people are reacting. It are gonna be a
lot of these. But what's your take.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Well, one thing I find interesting beyond just Selena Gomez
here is that anyone thinks that anyone cares about actors
or entertainers anymore and what they think about politics. I
think that that has changed dramatically. I think that the
era of oh, you know, the remember the George Clooney
(32:35):
op ed about like how Biden should step down and
that worked out great. This is a time when people
are waking up more and more to the fact that
a lot of entertainers are really ignorant and really narcissistic
and dumb, and you shouldn't listen to them about anything.
So that's one part of this, right, Just so this
(32:56):
this is a person doesn't know anything about the immigration
laws we're talking about, doesn't understand what the broader issues are.
But then also she says my I mean she's an American, right,
I don't know almost nothing about her. I assume she's
an American citizen because she says my people, And to that,
I just wonder what does that mean? Because if you're
an American, your people are the American people, right, unless
(33:18):
all of a sudden were to think that she's she
has a kind of Hispanic solidarity or something like that. Uh,
where where is that coming from?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
She says my people? Well, your people are Americans. Your
people aren't actually illegals. We're being deported. Why does she
refer to them as her people? That would be another
question that I have from this beyond the obvious. Uh,
you know, she's emotionally unstable and no surprise there.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, that's that's a great point. I think she was
a Disney child actress, and I, as you heard me
on the show, I've always been unable to distinguish like
she and Ariana Grande are basically the same person to me,
So I don't know particularly about their backgrounds. Was this
the one that dated Bieber or not? Or did he
date both of them? That's primarily how I know that
(34:05):
she did right about that, and she did date Bieber
a look, am I a pop culture knowledge? So Bieber
dodged a bullet there. I don't know if I'm the
only person who can't tow was Ariana Grande also a
Disney child actor too?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Are these? Are they? To these girls? Fewed against each other?
Speaker 5 (34:22):
They're but basically the same person to me, like Pixie
meaning small like singer actress who came from the Disney
World universe. And I do wonder though she deleted it. Whatever,
let me just say this because I'm gonna tee off
on her on multiple different angles here. If you have
(34:42):
a take, own it, you can't delete your take. Like
I think she's a moron for this perspective. She didn't
make a video crying over Lake and Riley. She didn't
make a video crying over Joscelyn Nungary. All of these
innocent people who are dead because criminal, illegal aliens killed
(35:06):
them in this country, and people say, well, people get killed.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
That's the argument. This is actually the argument. Eleven. Will
people get killed all the time?
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Yeah, but if they're illegally here in the first place,
they should have never happened.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
And by the way, I wish we had no murder.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
I wish there was no violent crime, all right, to
bold stand, it's a bold stand from class. I wish
murder was zero. I don't want anybody to get killed.
That's a very bold stand for me. The goal was
to have as few murders as possible, and if one
way you could have fewer murders is by not allowing
people who murder to illegally enter the country, that seems
like a rational choice to me. So she posted this
(35:42):
video and then she deleted it. So what is her thought?
I think your point on these are my people she's
an American, are Jocelyn Nungary and Lake and Riley, not
her people, because those are the people that I care about.
I care about other Americans first and foremost. So the
fact that she deleted it means that she's not even
standing behind this. So now she's gonna she's gonna manage
(36:06):
to create a situation where majorities of people think she's
a moron, and then even the people who don't think
she's a moron are gonna be like, well, why'd you
delete it?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Well, I think she probably deleted it because her managers
or agent or whatever said, what are you doing? Don't
get involved in this?
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Right now I get it, But once you post the video,
this is a good lesson. I tell my kids this
all the time too. Deleting something that you post on
social media doesn't eliminate it, and in many ways, buck
to me, it actually draws more attention to it because
it suggests that you wish you hadn't posted it in
the first place. So this idea of oh, I posted something,
(36:44):
but I deleted it, No, you can't. Nothing ever vanishes
on the Internet like it's there forever. Deleting it just
makes you look like even more of a moron than
you already did. So I'm anti deletion here your anti
deletion and pro I think we wrote I think pro
no murders.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Yeah, prono murders. Very good, well done on that one.
And I think that Selena and Gomez, Yes, her opinion
on immigration is not something that anyone particularly cares about,
and I think she recognized that a little bit too late.
But for a lot of people, here's what I will
say you can expect, Clay. There'll be a lot of
people who have for years now used social media political
(37:26):
stances as a way to get attention and maybe even
at some level build audience. They are their drug is
missing right now, you know their addicts for attention and
their drug is missing on social media. And what they'll
latch onto is this they're going to start if the deportations.
Remember it's not just that they will continue, it's that
(37:46):
they're going to escalate dramatically. That is what Trump has promised.
That is what Tom Homan has said is going to happen.
So if that happens, you will see a lot of
the virtue signaling libs that instead of Russia collusion or
threat to democracy or whatever, it's going to be, this
is un American. We're deporting all these people. It's so mean,
(38:07):
it's this is going to become the thing that idiot
celebrities want to talk about, which is why everybody has
to have a steel spine on this because they're gonna
be all these emotional But it is the first one
I've seen, and I hope that what happens to Selena
Gomez frankly is the market responds to this, like the
(38:30):
market responded.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
You remember Woke snow White. I don't even remember Rachel
Zigfield or something like that, whatever her name is. Uh,
they haven't released that movie yet. Remember the woke snow White,
like the live action snow White, the Rachel whatever her
name is that is so woke that like snow White
was not going to be the i'snkist and saved.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And I think they also, yes, snow White was was
a boss babe who was like getting it off this yeah,
you know so, I think they also decided they weren't
going to use actual dwarves because they thought it was
described was demeaning and discriminatory. And then people who are
(39:14):
dwarves were like, excuse me, this is a great opportunity.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
You know, the greatest acting opportunity of the dwarf community's life.
Only small people can play these roles. These are actual dwarves.
And then they took it away and they had full
sized people's, full sized people.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Yeah, this is this is what ends up happening when
you know, you play woke games, you get woke prizes.
It's not good. What's his name?
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Who is the Tyrian Peter Dinglish, Peter Dinklish, greatest little
man actor of all time?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
He's probably surely he's one of the dwarves, right.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
I mean that would be like you know, starting a
basketball team back in the day and not trying to
get Michael Jordan to play for it, like he's the
Michael Jordan of Dwarf actors. But the fact that they
put call people in the role of dwarves, thereby destroying
the only real opportunity most dwarves had to ever make
them living as an actor, is a perfect illustration of
(40:13):
how broken and stupid all of these people are. Rachel
Zegler woke snow White. She remember she ripped Trump voters
and then posted a follow up video or she was like, sorry,
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Mean it, Like what I mean.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
I just so many of these people are morons, and yes,
I love seeing them expose themselves. And if you don't
want to be a moron, you should go to Hillsdale
College because they will get you educated and helped to
have you embrace a love of learning. Whether it's books, movies,
TV series, life, everything ultimately comes back to your functional
knowledge and how well you can deploy it. And that's
(40:51):
what Hillsdale College wants to make sure. They have now
posted their coursework online for free, nearly forty in all
you can sign up for on your own time, no grades.
How many of you have a lifelong love of learning?
Maybe you didn't get the opportunity to sit in a
classroom and learn from an incredibly skilled teacher, and.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Maybe you now have a little bit more time.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
In your life and you're saying, boy, you know what,
I wish I had a little bit more knowledge about
a wide variety of subjects. Their most popular course right now,

the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 5 (42:07):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us as we are rolling
through the program. We are joined now by Kansas Senator
Roger Marshall. We're gonna talk about the confirmation hearings that
are coming up.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
All that and more.
Speaker 5 (42:23):
In the meantime, though, are the Kansas City Chiefs ever
gonna lose again?
Speaker 9 (42:30):
Clay, That's a great question, you know this, Dad, I'm
gonna throw at you. Eight times out of eight in
playoff football when Patrick Mahomes has been behind or tied,
He's led the Chiefs to a victory eight out of eight.
I think not even the Tom Brady could do that.
So he's chasing He's chasing Tom Brady the goat.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Yeah, there's no doubt.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
And we're gonna see what happens with Super Bowl coming
up next week down in New Orleans. Like I said,
I'll be down there Thursday Friday. Hopefully Bourbon Street will
be back up and running on fourteen. People lost their
lives there just a few weeks ago. And I also
know that New Orleans got hit with the biggest snowfall
I think in the history recorded history of the city.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
So can't wait to get down there. On the Washington,
d C. Front, Senator.
Speaker 5 (43:15):
A lot more nominations coming forward this week, including RFK Junior,
Tulsea Gabbard, Cash Patel. Based on your reading of the landscape,
right now, how do you think all three of those
and more are looking from a confirmation basis?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Are you optimistic?
Speaker 4 (43:33):
Ye know, I'm very optimistic for different reasons.
Speaker 9 (43:36):
But I think once we got Pete Hegg set across
the finish line, I think that set the stage up
for the rest of them.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
I think with Bobby.
Speaker 9 (43:43):
Kennedy maybe the most controversial, but he also has the
largest ground swell of people out there supporting him, and
President Trump realizes that When Bobby Kennedy endorsed President Trump,
Trump's numbers went up. I think this Republican Party, the
ten is bigger than it's ever been. These people are
very politically active, They're very loud, and I think Bobby
(44:04):
Kennedy's going to do a great job. He's absolutely a disruptor.
I'm looking forward to working with them to make America
healthy again. Sixty percent of Americans have a chronic disease
right now, and that's mostly determined by what we eat
and the toxins were exposed to. So I think he's
going to be great for America, a great disruptor, and
I can't wait to work with him to help make
(44:24):
America healthy again. Right.
Speaker 5 (44:27):
Beth gets in as defense Secretary Friday evening, but it
was fifty to fifty. You had Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski,
and Susan Collins all in your fifty three vote. Republican
majority vote against those individuals. Do you think that there
will be unanimity from the Republicans? Do you expect some defections?
(44:48):
What are you hearing about these new confirmations coming forward?
Speaker 4 (44:53):
Yeah, I think there's going to be some defections.
Speaker 9 (44:54):
I wish I could say differently, but I think that
Bobby could pick up several Democrats as well. I think
a lot of those folks over there have been preaching
the same message regarding proper nutrition, healthy nutrition. So I
think that Bobby's going to pick up some Democrats. He
may lose some Republicans that Pete didn't didn't lose as well,
you know, TULSI bet, I bet it could well be
(45:15):
a fifty to fifty gig as well. I don't know,
she'll pick up many many Democrats, and Cash could Cash
may grease by with fifty one.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
We'll see what happens. I'm optimistic.
Speaker 9 (45:26):
I think that people realize seventy seven million Americans voted
for Donald Trump. These are as people. Yes, they're change ages,
they're disruptors. They don't always fit the model that they're expecting,
but that's what we love about him. So we're ready
to play the game.
Speaker 5 (45:41):
We're talking with Senator Roger Marshall from the state of Kansas.
We're breaking this down. You just mentioned that there may
be difficulty on the Democrat side for Robert Kennedy Junior
and Tulsi Gabbard. I just want to remind everybody Tulsi
Gabbard ran for president as a Democrat in twenty twenty
and served multiple terms as a Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii
(46:03):
for seventy three and a half. I believe Robert F.
Kennedy Junior is seventy four. For seventy three and a
half of those years, RFK Junior was a Democrat. What
does it say about Trump broadening the coalition for the
Make America Healthy Again movement? But also, these are two
former Democrats that now Democrats are saying, well, these are
(46:23):
way too radical of choices for Donald Trump to have
inside of his cabinet. That's pretty crazy from a political perspective,
isn't it.
Speaker 9 (46:32):
Yeah, yeah, Clay, to your point, I Nanson, we call hypocrites.
If Heaven forbid, Joe Biden was still president and he
had nominated Bobby Kennedy, it would have been brilliant, right,
Chelsey Gabbert, What a brilliant choice. But instead they resort
to personal character assassination. They resort to politics. They're going
to find something wrong with all of them. And I
(46:53):
get that. I don't agree with Bobby Kennedy on several things,
but we agree that we both want to make America
healthy again.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
TOLSI.
Speaker 9 (47:01):
I'm not sure about some of these past visits she's made,
but in our set down session, she said, I promise
to make things more transparent. That win in doubt, She's
going to say Congress needs to see this and win
possible Americans to see this as well. We're already seeing
John Ratcliffe right now opening up the COVID file on
FAUCI and showing America what most of us already knew
(47:22):
is that the virus was made there in Wuhan, China,
and they had a lab leak. You know, Cash is
up here just throwing grenades at people, saying, let's shut
down the FBI building. How about sending all these FBI
agents out with their badges and guns and chasing bad guys.
What an original thought. So he is absolutely changing the
way the game's played up here, and that's why Americans
(47:44):
voted for Donald Trump. But to your point, the Democrats
are hypocrites on this issue.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
What do you expect to see in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Oh? Super Bowl gosh.
Speaker 9 (47:55):
I think it'll be a little bit more high scoring
than that I was expecting. I think it's gonna be
thirty some points. I think that you're going to see
Andy Reid go down as the most brilliant offensive mind
going back to some of those really good San Francisco
forty nine er teams as well. I think you're going
to see Patrick Mahomes define his future and what it
(48:15):
looks like to be the Goat. But Philadelphia has an
incredible team that's going to be incredibly competitive.
Speaker 4 (48:21):
I think it's going to be a great game.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
No doubt. What else should we know going forward?
Speaker 5 (48:28):
There's been a lot of debate about one big, beautiful bill,
as Trump has called it, versus breaking up a lot
of what's trying to happen once we get through the
confirmation process. Let me ask you that, how long do
you think it will take for this confirmation process to
play itself out and for Trump to be able to
have his full team of individuals out there working for him.
Speaker 9 (48:49):
Yeah, I think that we're a We're right on schedule.
We're keeping up with the Obama schedule for confirmations, but
it could take well two months, maybe three months to
get them all across the finish line. But I think
we'll get these important ones is done here within the
in the next month. Then moving forward, we are working
very hard on this reconciliation bill to fulfill President Trump's
campaign promises. He needs more money to secure the border.
(49:12):
He promised to drill baby drill, So we're passing some
regulatory process. We're actually rolling back regulations in that process
to allow energy to start growing again as well, And
then I think you'll be on that. We need some
funding for the military as well. We have a couple
other big issues out there facing us. The government's funding
(49:32):
ins March fourteenth, sometime the end of the spring, we
hit our debt limit, so I'm thinking about all three
of those at the same time. I'm not sure the
House can get all that done that they're wanting, but
we'll get as much of it done as we can
I hope by April and we may have to come
back and take a second bite of the.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
Apple in the early summer.
Speaker 5 (49:52):
All right, good stuff, as always, appreciate the time, Senter Marshall.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
We'll talk to you again. Enjoy the Super Bowl next week.
Speaker 4 (49:59):
Hey Clay, thanks much, co cheese.
Speaker 5 (50:02):
That is a Senator Marshall from Kansas. Let me tell
you something. We came really close to winning our Prize
Picks pick. In fact, Josh Allen tried to score rushing
the football a couple of times down close. If he
had done it, we would have won our ten to
one the other three all hit. I'll have a pick
for you next week for the Super Bowl that I
(50:23):
imagine huge numbers of you will be watching. But in
the meantime, I want you to get fifty bucks. All
you have to do is go to Prize picks dot
com use code clay. That's pricepicks dot com. Code Clay.

be able to have a.

Trump reeflays from the week somedays at noon Easter Team
forty seven.

Find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. And the hits keep on coming
from President Trump all weekend long. I mean just more
and more good stuff, more good things happening. We will
break it down today. Stuff that involved the border, international relations, deportations,
(00:23):
di programs, and also our own JD. Vance, Vice President
Vance went on the one of the Sunday shows with
CBS's Margaret Brennan, very smug leftist and did a phenomenal job,
which is not surprising.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
JD.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Vance is incredibly smart, very good on his feet, and
so anybody who is concerned, why is JD going right
back to fake news media CBS Sunday show so that
he could maybe pull up a school bus because school
was indeed in session. We'll play some of those clips
for you. It was really quite an ordeal for the host.
(01:08):
I think it was not what she was expecting. So
we'll get into all of this and a lot more.
But first up on the immigration on the border, Clay,
we had a couple of big things that happened over
the weekend. Well, one is you had the president of Columbia,
initially the Colombian government refusing to take back illegals who
(01:30):
are Columbia nationals, and President Trump put out, you know what,
if you don't take him, we are going to basically
cease doing business with Colombia and cancel all of your visas.
And guess what happened. Everybody Columbia goes. You know what,
We're going to take back the illegals who are Columbia nationals.
These are their people, These are Colombians. They are not
(01:52):
our responsibility. This is not that they're supposed to work.
But beyond that, Clay over the weekend, Martha raddits fake
news host. I don't know why anyone still watches these
shows though. Now it's kind of amusing because you have
Trump people going on spiking the football on the end
zone over and over again. But she was asking Tom
Homan about deportation flights. This is cut seven, Tom Homan,
(02:15):
the iceman, fantastic play.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
It those military flights going south, as you said, we
have never seen that before. Is that going to be
a constant commitment from the US military every single day
to take deporges out?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So is this what we will see every single day?
Ending in What the President has promised is millions and
millions being deported.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yes, but you're going to see the number steadily increase.
The number of rest of the nationwide as we open
up the aperture right now is contentry in public safety threads,
national security threads. That's a smaller population. So we're going
to do this on priority based, as President TUN's promise.
But as that aperture opens, there'll be more arrest nationwide.
If you're in the country illegally, you're on the table.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Play telling Martha right right there. Not only is this
going to continue, it's going to get a lot bigger.
There's going to be a lot more day to day.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
The Columbia interaction is I think Trump perfection. And for
people out there who may have been busy because it
happened quickly and it was in the middle of the
AFC and the NFC Championship games going on, I know
everybody's busy on the weekends. Colombia said we're not going
to take back the illegals that the United States is deporting,
(03:31):
and the Colombian president made a big statement and he
puffed his chest out, and Trump said, Okay, We're going
to immediately put twenty five percent tariffs on all Colombian goods.
We are going to restrict all entering of the country
from Colombian nationals, and a couple of other things. And
(03:51):
with Buck within, I couldn't even catch up on my
Twitter feed. Before I even got to modern time, Columbia
had buckled, and the president of Columbia actually retweeted the
statement that Caroline Levitt, White House spokesperson now put out,
essentially acknowledging total victory for Trump. And I saw a
(04:15):
lot of people reacting to this. To me, Buck, this
is how government should work, because it's how a good
business works. And some of you out there may say, Okay,
how exactly do you break that down? Government is very ponderous.
Everything takes a long time. There's all these meetings, there's
all these people who share and clear their throat. There's
(04:38):
all these deputy bureaucrats who then way into senior bureaucrats,
who then way into other elected officials. Nothing ever happens
because they're all happy to just sit around talking. Trump
moved at the speed of successful business. Okay, they're doing something.
We're going to react. There will be consequences if they
make that choice. And columb immediately set down and said, Okay,
(05:03):
we'll take back the immigrants and we'll use Colombia's version
of Air Force one to do it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
This is what Trump was elected to do. And one
of the things that I think the media is kind
of staggered by the audio that you played, Tom Holman says, yes,
we're gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
All Trump is doing.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
And I love him for it is exactly what he
ran his entire campaign saying he was gonna do. I
think so many people in America, media and otherwise are
used to being lied to by politicians and they presume, oh,
he's saying that, But when he gets into office, he's
really Trump tells you exactly what he's gonna do. He
(05:41):
now and this is the significant part, Buck. He now
is surrounded by hyper competent studs in his government who
can make what he wants to be the policy happened.
It's not helter skelter, it's not slap dash. Yeah, I
bet Steven Miller hasn't slept in four months. But he
is implementing so much of this, Buck, and it's efficiently working.
(06:05):
Trump has the right people in position, and I freaking
love every day that I wake up and see what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Isn't it amazing? Also how the expectation, the paradigm shifts
so rapidly. Of course, Columbia should take back Colombian nationals
who entered our country illegally and then committed serious crimes here. Hey,
this is this is it's such a the most thing,
the most obvious thing in the world. People go, oh,
my gosh, she's deporting these people. Yeah, every other country
(06:34):
in the world that could would do this. There is
no country that would say, oh, you're not supposed to
be here and you rape somebody. But you know, America
is a land of immigrants or you know whatever the
country is, the land of immigrants, Like, nobody would do that.
But that's become normalized in America. It's absolutely outrageous. And
beyond that, something else that has been normalized is President
(06:55):
Trump it well, i should say previous presidents the Trump
It's oh tiny country that desperately relies on the United
States for a whole range of things and has a
very small GDP and has interests that the United States
has a large hand in. We'll just do whatever. You say.
Think about how crazy this is. But if all these
(07:16):
little countries, oh, I'm gonna go complain about you with
the UN or something. Oh my gosh, please don't do that.
Whatever you want, you know, send us more of your
illegal send us more criminals, send us more gang member,
send us more MS thirteen whatever, Clay. That was the
way it was going for certainly the Biden administration, the
Obama administration. Trump was trying to turn it around in
his first term. And it's remarkable that here we all
(07:39):
were seeing this. And it's not just that sanity is returning.
The obvious thing is the thing that Trump is willing
to do. And it's like the whole world of the
Democrats has been turned on its head. And I should
also add the lawful thing. The obvious lawful thing is
crazy Town to Democrats. Now, that's how things gone. And
(08:01):
I think we're just seeing at the beginning of this.
You know, Tom Holman, the guy doesn't play around. He's
not joking, he's he's not doing this to, you know,
to get clicks online or something. He says they're gonna
be ramping up deportations. I take him out as people
are saying.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
It's only a thousand a day. I can do the math.
Three hundred and sixty five.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Thous it's gonna get much It's gonna get much more interesting.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I'll put it to you that way. I also think
it's not just the deportations. This is super important and
I haven't heard it talked about as much. One, the
border now is basically sealed, So the idea of adding
more one of the first things you have to do
whenever you've got a major problem is what stop the
major problem from getting worse. So we now have sealed
(08:45):
effectively the southern border.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Here's what I think is also gonna happen. I think
a lot of people are gonna start self deporting, meaning
they're looking around recognizing that the same amount of incredible
munificence from if I pronounce that word correctly, from the
United States government, all of this money that we were
(09:08):
pouring into the illegal community and all the opportunity we
were giving them, that's drying up. So you're both systemically
making first first thing, make the problem no worse. We're
doing that. Two, begin the deportations. But three, I think
there's some guys and gals that'll start looking around and say, wait,
do I want to wait for someone to show up
(09:28):
at my door and suddenly becoming after me, maybe I
shouldn't be here, And I think some of these people
will start to leave.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
There's going to be a I agree with the self
deportation component of it. It also decreases, so you said
border sealed effectively, or it's the crossings are way way
way down, so that means you have less people coming in,
which is a good thing. You have the worst of
the worst criminals who are legals in this country rounded up.
It's also oh on the obvious and lawful. Just one
(09:58):
more thing, the fact we could get these individuals. It's
not like it was that hard. In some cases you're
reading these stories, they just yeah, we know where that
guy is, what was what was ice? And what were
the Biden administration immigration authorities doing for the last four years? Oh,
we know they were waiving everybody in and letting them
get away with that, and letting them get away with
(10:20):
violating our laws and the trust and and the generosity
of the American people. Of course we should be sending
people out of the country who are in this category again,
obvious and lawful. But Clay, I think that the other
piece of this, and no one's really seen much of
this yet I think there will eventually be in there's
going to have to be enforcement raids against businesses who
(10:44):
are exploiting illegals for financial gain, doing so on violation
of law, and putting the burden of this on the
American people and on the American working class particularly. That's
that's not going to fly either. I think that's coming
as well, which is going to change the dynamics substantially,
no doubt.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
And again what I just come back to is promise
has made, Promise is kept, and so far by focusing
I think very smartly on gathering people with criminal records
and starting the deportations with them, it has been very hard.
I don't know if you have felt like Democrats are
(11:21):
sort of standing there with no idea how to really respond. Now,
I'm sure again prepare for it. There is going to
be some mom who gets separated from her three year
old and AOC is going to show up in a
white outfit and start crying, and the media is going
to go and cover this. That's coming. I don't know
how long it's going to take. They're going to use
(11:41):
anecdote of deportation that wasn't going perfectly as evidence of
why all deportations shouldn't happen, and that's a failed media
strategy because anecdote should be illustration of larger issue, not outlier.
But that's what the media has perfected. But so far
there doesn't seem to be any real opposition to it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Buck. I don't think the guilt weapon on this is
going to work the way that it has in the
past either, because we the American people, for four years
of Biden were just grotesquely abused on this issue of
illegal immigration, and cities like New York and Chicago, Democrat
(12:23):
uniparty cities were also having tremendous trouble because of this.
So it's clear to everybody what the costs are, what
the downsides are. I think the American people are at
the enough stage now that may change to your point
about they're going to start having you know, teary eyed
grandma's and oh, my family's been separated. But you know,
(12:45):
I think that the leeway to do a lot of
what is lawful and obvious on immigration is much greater
now that it has been in a long time. You know,
there's a COVID relief program for self employed folks ten
ninety nine contractors and gig workers that's about to end.
You can receive up to thirty two two hundred dollars

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Post talking about what happened over the course of the weekend.
I'm sorry to all of the Buffalo bill fans out
there listening to us right now, and I imagine you
are Legion. I don't know that, Buck notice, but for
a fourth time, the Buffalo Bills lost to the Kansas
City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes really kind of cementing himself as
(14:24):
the Michael Jordan of the NFL. Doesn't really matter who
you are. Almost impossible to beat him, Chiefs going for
a third straight Super Bowl title. I'll be down in
New Orleans next week, looking forward to doing the show
Thursday Friday. From there as we get well, I guess
I'll be Yeah, it'll be next week as we get
(14:44):
ready for the super Bowl. But that happening, and we'll
have some fun with that maybe a little bit later
and we talk.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
About prize picks.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
But Buck, I want to play this audio because I
thought it was fantastic. Trump was in Las Vegas over
the weekend and he was walking around the Circa casino.
Now you were just in Las Vegas, Buck, what Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday ish of last week doing I don't think people
were chanting USA, USA, USA as you walk through the casino.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You don't like to gamble that much. I like to gamble.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I like sitting at a blackjack table. I like hanging
out having some drinks gambling. There was one clip that
went megaviral of Trump walking up next to a guy
while he's at the crafts table, and anyone who has
ever gambled at a casino table, can you imagine what
(15:42):
it would be like to have the freaking president of
the United States walk up to talk to you while
you're at the crafts table, or while you're playing black
tac or whatever table game of choice you like to
be involved in.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I just it is.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Trump in the public is the best version of Trump,
whether it's at a McDonald's, whether it's at getting a
Philly cheese steak in Philly, congratulations of the Eagles who
are going to be in the super Bowl. Wherever he
might be, this is the best version of him. And
here is what it sounded like as he walked through
(16:19):
the casino. This is the circa casino Vegas over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Listen how badass is that?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And you need to see the video. It's up. We'll
put it up at Clay and Buck if you want.
It's up on my Twitter feed.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
I just the vibe I know we talk about it,
but the vibe shift is just so remarkable. In the
space of just a couple of months, we've gone from
a guy who basically can't walk as the president and
of the United States, somebody who regularly Trump I saw
him talking about it that world leaders would call and
(17:07):
Biden couldn't get on the phone and even talk with him.
He didn't have the ability to do the job, to
a guy just boldly striding everywhere.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We mentioned it.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Friday, buck Trump was in North Carolina, Western North Carolina,
drawing attention to the continued failure of the federal government
to do enough to help people get back up on
their feats in that region of the country. He also
flew to la and I want to play this because
he's in a city that overwhelmingly voted against him. He's
sitting next to the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass,
(17:38):
And you know what Trump's saying, Hey, let people get
out and start cleaning their lot, let them start rebuilding. Now, listen, you.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Will be able to go back soon.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
We think within a week.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Every that's a long time.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
A week.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
I'll be honest to me that everyone's standing in front
of the House they want to go to work and
they're not allowed to do it.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
People to be safe.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
This if this safe, you know what, They're not safe.
They're not safe. Now they're going to be much safer.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
A week.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
A week is actually a long time the way I
look at it, I watched hundreds of people standing in
front of their lots and they're not allowed to go in.
It's all burned, it's gone, it's done. Nothing's going to
happen to it. It's not going to burn anymore. There's nothing
to burn. There's almost nothing to burn. And they want
to go in there. The people are all over the place.
They're standing and they say, warren't you're going in. We're
(18:31):
trying to get a permit, and the permit's going to
take them. Everybody said eighteen months, you said eighteen months,
you said eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I can't even see our homes right now, we are
blocked from entering our street. True. I love this buck,
I love it. I love it, I love it. Yeah,
it's fantastic, and it shows you that President Trump is
not going to be held back by misguided a misguided
sense of oh well, it's The mayor of Los Angeles
(19:04):
is speaking on this issue, so all of a sudden,
everything that I know in my lifetime as somebody in
and around construction and building, you know, he's just going
to lay it out there. He's just going to say
what needs to be said, instead of a sense of
a false hierarchy. Well, I mean, he's the president, but
you know, a false hierarchy of well, you know, this
(19:26):
person's the closer to the issue, and so I'll let
her say whatever she wants to say, even if I disagree.
So I think it's fantastic to see the president just
letting it, letting it fly, and that's what people voted for,
that's what they want. And on the issue of Los
Angeles and the wildfire specifically, it's been horrendous. And also
it's interesting because that kind of ties into the FEMA
(19:47):
conversation too. What was FEMA there helping people saving their houses? No,
of course not. FEMA's going to show up in the
aftermath and probably make a lot of things harder than
they would otherwise be. You know, people in North Carolina,
you know, are having remember that Hurricane FEMA's showing up
like now in some places for the first time. You
know that people are getting knocks on their door from FEMA.
(20:09):
It's like, oh, it's been months, we thought we'd come
by and see how you're doing. So there's a lot
that I think could be improved upon here. But you know,
Donald Trump in terms of FEMA, but Donald Trump coming
forward to Clay and speaking about it in this way
is exactly what we want to see. And I think
a lot of people in Los Angeles, even some people
(20:29):
who didn't vote for Trump, want to see it.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
This is important. And that's the other thing I wanted
to hammer home about this. Not only is this the
best version of Trump. I understand because I posted a
video of this and a lot of you every now
and then I go in because it's chaos in the
Twitter streets and I want to read some of the comments,
and a lot of people said, well, this is what
they get for the way they voted. And I get
(20:52):
that there are consequences to the election choices that you make.
But if you are like me and you want America
to be great again, you want America to be better,
you have to persuade people of the correctness of the
path that you are on. And this, to me is
(21:14):
why Trump's approval ratings are going up it's not because
suddenly the diehards who supported Trump in sixteen and twenty
and twenty four are even more excited about supporting Trump.
I get it. I love you guys. If you voted
for Trump three times, congratulations, you were right. But being
(21:37):
right's not enough.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You have to.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Persuade other people that they were wrong. And a lot
of times we missed the persuasion part here. And the
only way to really get the country moving is for
around sixty percent of people to say, you know what,
Trump's on the right agenda, because then the opposition becomes
a substantial minority. And Buck, I think you're right. I
(22:00):
said this, I tweeted it. I bet seventy or eighty
percent of those people in the Palisades voted for Karen
Bass and they voted for Kamala Harris. And you know what,
when they watched that clip, they're gonna say, wait a minute,
Trump's doing a better job advocating for me being able
to go to my own property and get rebuilt as
fast as possible than the people I voted for. Maybe
(22:21):
I got something wrong, Maybe I misread Trump. Maybe I'm
not seeing the real Trump. Maybe the legacy media led
me astray. You guys know this, but I think.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's so important.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Being willing to admit you were wrong is one of
the hardest things for any human to do. We will
as a group and as a society, people hate admitting
they were wrong more than they hate being wrong. Think
about that, and so it's hard to get people to
change their minds. But I know that it's happening, Buck,
(22:57):
because sixty five million people voted for Trump and twenty sixteen,
by twenty twenty four, seventy seven million. Did A lot
of people listening to us right now didn't vote Trump
in sixteen. They may not have voted Trump in twenty.
Now you recognize by twenty four, you know what He's
right about a lot of these things. I think the
event that he did in La, I think all over
(23:18):
LA there text threads of people who voted Kamala and
Karen Bass saying, man, I didn't vote Trump, But he's
really right about the fact in how we're going to
rebuild here. That opening gives an opportunity to change the
world if enough people start stepping through that opening.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, certainly in the case of Los Angeles, as we've discussed,
if you live in a very fancy neighborhood of LA
and LA is really many connected cities. Right, if you
live in downtown Los Angeles, as we've discussed Santa Monica,
it feels like it could be in another state. I mean,
these are very disparate places. And what happened here was
(23:56):
that I think a lot of the elite voting block
of Los Angeles that writes big checks and has big
houses and has millions and millions of dollars, their decision
making about who they voted for seemed suddenly like it mattered, right,
all of a sudden, it wasn't. Oh, other people have
(24:17):
to deal with crime, Other people have to deal with
the legal aliens. You know, that's their issue. I get
to vote for Democrats and feel good about myself because
Democrats care. And now all of a sudden, it's well,
my house burned down, My you know, four million or
ten million dollar house or whatever it is, burned down,
and I still haven't been able to go to it.
And I think the people in charge of morons. And
(24:37):
I've heard this secondhand from a lot of people who
have friends that have lost houses and stuff, that they
are outraged at how incompetent and how Remember there's the
there's the lack of competency during the fires, but you
could argue the even bigger thing, Clay, is the lack
of adequate preparation before the fires. So so turning around
(24:58):
to say to everybody, you know, as Gavin Newsom, He's like, hey,
the local people are gonna have to figure out what
happened to those fire hydrants. It's like the fire hydrants
running out of water is unacceptable, okay. And they could say, well,
there's nothing we can do about it now, you know, sorry,
Well yeah, but you should have done something about it before.
And that's where I think there's just no excuse. And
(25:20):
there's been a recognition of what a total disaster it
has been out there, and you know, Trump's coming out
there and he's just telling them like it is, which
is this whole thing has just been a mess, an
absolute mess, and a tragedy for a lot of people,
and the high taxes they pay. You know, Margaret Brennan
took that shot. We had people calling in that wanted
to defend their state story. We know Alabama, and time back,
(25:44):
I got your Clay. Clay is certainly not letting any
of that slide. But you look at the fourteen percent
tax you pay if you're in the high bracket in California,
thirteen and change whatever it is. It's not like you
get better services. It's not like the people in charge
are making smarter decisions. So that's also, I think, quite
(26:05):
a bit of a wake up call.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Not if you said to people, what is the number
one thing you think the government should do? Put out
fires is probably the number one thing when something is burning,
I want the fire department to show up and put
it out. Despite everything that they're paying in California buck
highest taxes anywhere in the country, they have lost the
(26:29):
ability to put out fires. Competence matters. And I think
when you see Trump, whatever you think about him, the
guy's built a lot over the years. All he's saying
is people should be able to start to clean up
their lots and begin the process of rebuilding immediately. That's
what I would want to do, is that what you
run up your house, bumps down and by the way,
you know what's going to happen a lot of people,
(26:51):
if you don't allow them to do it, they're gonna leave.
Because if you've got a family and you've got the
resources as some of the people do in the Palisades,
if you're not allowing them to immediately start the rebuild process.
Building and rebuilding is hard, it's a grind. It's not
easy to go through that process. Some of them are
(27:12):
just gonna say, screw it. I'm moving to Florida, I'm
going to Tennessee, I'm going to Texas. I'm done with
these governments. That tax dollars is leaving forever, and they're
just gonna walk away. It's not even just that it's
the right thing to do morally. We like to talk
about this buck, it's the right thing to do politically
because you need those people and their incomes and their
(27:33):
resources rebuilding immediately. So it's not only that you're doing
the wrong thing for them individually. You're actually encouraging them
to just say I'm done, I can't deal with this anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yep. There's a lot going on, that's for sure, and
we try to bring it to speed on everything here.
But you might have seen with this deep seek Chinese
AI thing, all of a sudden, the whole future of
AI feels shakier to people. Market gets hit, a lot
of stocks get hit. The economy can change very rapidly.
Just because it feels good right now, just because Trump
(28:07):
is doing good things, doesn't mean that that thirty six
trillion dollars if debt has gone away, doesn't mean that
we couldn't see continued inflation chipping away your savings or
something far more catastrophic down the line. That's why it's
worth diversifying some of the cash you have into gold now.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you guys rolling with us as we are breaking
down everything took place over the weekend. We mentioned that
the Trump deportations, which is rapidly underway, illegal violent criminals
being arrested all over the country and sent back to
(29:54):
their home countries, and we said, hey, you should prepare
yourself for a pushback, and it will be an emotional one.
It won't be a logical one. Because if you engage
in this issue in any way in a logical fashion,
what's the argument against deporting illegals who are committing violent
acts here? It's one of the easiest decisions out there.
(30:18):
But when you talk about emotions, people often don't respond
in a coherent fashion. I want to play this for
you because it has gone megaviral and it is an
example of what I think you should prepare yourself for. Also,
I think Republicans need to have still spines here. Steel
spines do not allow these emotional appeals to impact what
(30:42):
is the logical and right choice. But here is Selena Gomez, actress?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
What is she?
Speaker 5 (30:49):
And Buck was wicked? I think you're asking the wrong guy.
She's an Amelia Perez right now, I understand, but wasn't she?
Also is that Ariana Grande. I'm gonna be honest. I
kind of get those two mixed up. But Arianna was
in Wicked. Sorry for being racist. Here is Selena Gomez
complaining about illegals being taken out of the country.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I just shouldn't say that.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Only people are getting detected, the children.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
They don't understand.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
They're so sorry.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I wish I could do something that you can't.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
I'll try everything.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
All right, Selena Gomez crying there? Buck, can we adopt
as a preliminary if you take a video of yourself
crying by yourself and then choose to post it. That's
kind of a weird thing to do, right, Like there's
nobody else around, You're sitting in your kitchen, you record
your self crying, and then you decide to post it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Now.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
She since deleted this video, but it is going megaviral,
lots of people are reacting. It are gonna be a
lot of these. But what's your take.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Well, one thing I find interesting beyond just Selena Gomez
here is that anyone thinks that anyone cares about actors
or entertainers anymore and what they think about politics. I
think that that has changed dramatically. I think that the
era of oh, you know, the remember the George Clooney
(32:35):
op ed about like how Biden should step down and
that worked out great. This is a time when people
are waking up more and more to the fact that
a lot of entertainers are really ignorant and really narcissistic
and dumb, and you shouldn't listen to them about anything.
So that's one part of this, right, Just so this
(32:56):
this is a person doesn't know anything about the immigration
laws we're talking about, doesn't understand what the broader issues are.
But then also she says my I mean she's an American, right,
I don't know almost nothing about her. I assume she's
an American citizen because she says my people, And to that,
I just wonder what does that mean? Because if you're
an American, your people are the American people, right, unless
(33:18):
all of a sudden were to think that she's she
has a kind of Hispanic solidarity or something like that. Uh,
where where is that coming from?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
She says my people? Well, your people are Americans. Your
people aren't actually illegals. We're being deported. Why does she
refer to them as her people? That would be another
question that I have from this beyond the obvious. Uh,
you know, she's emotionally unstable and no surprise there.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, that's that's a great point. I think she was
a Disney child actress, and I, as you heard me
on the show, I've always been unable to distinguish like
she and Ariana Grande are basically the same person to me,
So I don't know particularly about their backgrounds. Was this
the one that dated Bieber or not? Or did he
date both of them? That's primarily how I know that
(34:05):
she did right about that, and she did date Bieber
a look, am I a pop culture knowledge? So Bieber
dodged a bullet there. I don't know if I'm the
only person who can't tow was Ariana Grande also a
Disney child actor too?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Are these? Are they? To these girls? Fewed against each other?
Speaker 5 (34:22):
They're but basically the same person to me, like Pixie
meaning small like singer actress who came from the Disney
World universe. And I do wonder though she deleted it. Whatever,
let me just say this because I'm gonna tee off
on her on multiple different angles here. If you have
(34:42):
a take, own it, you can't delete your take. Like
I think she's a moron for this perspective. She didn't
make a video crying over Lake and Riley. She didn't
make a video crying over Joscelyn Nungary. All of these
innocent people who are dead because criminal, illegal aliens killed
(35:06):
them in this country, and people say, well, people get killed.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
That's the argument. This is actually the argument. Eleven. Will
people get killed all the time?
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Yeah, but if they're illegally here in the first place,
they should have never happened.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
And by the way, I wish we had no murder.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
I wish there was no violent crime, all right, to
bold stand, it's a bold stand from class. I wish
murder was zero. I don't want anybody to get killed.
That's a very bold stand for me. The goal was
to have as few murders as possible, and if one
way you could have fewer murders is by not allowing
people who murder to illegally enter the country, that seems
like a rational choice to me. So she posted this
(35:42):
video and then she deleted it. So what is her thought?
I think your point on these are my people she's
an American, are Jocelyn Nungary and Lake and Riley, not
her people, because those are the people that I care about.
I care about other Americans first and foremost. So the
fact that she deleted it means that she's not even
standing behind this. So now she's gonna she's gonna manage
(36:06):
to create a situation where majorities of people think she's
a moron, and then even the people who don't think
she's a moron are gonna be like, well, why'd you
delete it?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Well, I think she probably deleted it because her managers
or agent or whatever said, what are you doing? Don't
get involved in this?
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Right now I get it, But once you post the video,
this is a good lesson. I tell my kids this
all the time too. Deleting something that you post on
social media doesn't eliminate it, and in many ways, buck
to me, it actually draws more attention to it because
it suggests that you wish you hadn't posted it in
the first place. So this idea of oh, I posted something,
(36:44):
but I deleted it, No, you can't. Nothing ever vanishes
on the Internet like it's there forever. Deleting it just
makes you look like even more of a moron than
you already did. So I'm anti deletion here your anti
deletion and pro I think we wrote I think pro
no murders.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Yeah, prono murders. Very good, well done on that one.
And I think that Selena and Gomez, Yes, her opinion
on immigration is not something that anyone particularly cares about,
and I think she recognized that a little bit too late.
But for a lot of people, here's what I will
say you can expect, Clay. There'll be a lot of
people who have for years now used social media political
(37:26):
stances as a way to get attention and maybe even
at some level build audience. They are their drug is
missing right now, you know their addicts for attention and
their drug is missing on social media. And what they'll
latch onto is this they're going to start if the deportations.
Remember it's not just that they will continue, it's that
(37:46):
they're going to escalate dramatically. That is what Trump has promised.
That is what Tom Homan has said is going to happen.
So if that happens, you will see a lot of
the virtue signaling libs that instead of Russia collusion or
threat to democracy or whatever, it's going to be, this
is un American. We're deporting all these people. It's so mean,
(38:07):
it's this is going to become the thing that idiot
celebrities want to talk about, which is why everybody has
to have a steel spine on this because they're gonna
be all these emotional But it is the first one
I've seen, and I hope that what happens to Selena
Gomez frankly is the market responds to this, like the
(38:30):
market responded.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
You remember Woke snow White. I don't even remember Rachel
Zigfield or something like that, whatever her name is. Uh,
they haven't released that movie yet. Remember the woke snow White,
like the live action snow White, the Rachel whatever her
name is that is so woke that like snow White
was not going to be the i'snkist and saved.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And I think they also, yes, snow White was was
a boss babe who was like getting it off this yeah,
you know so, I think they also decided they weren't
going to use actual dwarves because they thought it was
described was demeaning and discriminatory. And then people who are
(39:14):
dwarves were like, excuse me, this is a great opportunity.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
You know, the greatest acting opportunity of the dwarf community's life.
Only small people can play these roles. These are actual dwarves.
And then they took it away and they had full
sized people's, full sized people.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Yeah, this is this is what ends up happening when
you know, you play woke games, you get woke prizes.
It's not good. What's his name?
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Who is the Tyrian Peter Dinglish, Peter Dinklish, greatest little
man actor of all time?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
He's probably surely he's one of the dwarves, right.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
I mean that would be like you know, starting a
basketball team back in the day and not trying to
get Michael Jordan to play for it, like he's the
Michael Jordan of Dwarf actors. But the fact that they
put call people in the role of dwarves, thereby destroying
the only real opportunity most dwarves had to ever make
them living as an actor, is a perfect illustration of
(40:13):
how broken and stupid all of these people are. Rachel
Zegler woke snow White. She remember she ripped Trump voters
and then posted a follow up video or she was like, sorry,
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Mean it, Like what I mean.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
I just so many of these people are morons, and yes,
I love seeing them expose themselves. And if you don't
want to be a moron, you should go to Hillsdale
College because they will get you educated and helped to
have you embrace a love of learning. Whether it's books, movies,
TV series, life, everything ultimately comes back to your functional

what Hillsdale College wants to make sure. They have now
posted their coursework online for free, nearly forty in all
you can sign up for on your own time, no grades.
How many of you have a lifelong love of learning?
Maybe you didn't get the opportunity to sit in a
classroom and learn from an incredibly skilled teacher, and.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Maybe you now have a little bit more time.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
In your life and you're saying, boy, you know what,

Speaker 5 (42:07):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us as we are rolling
through the program. We are joined now by Kansas Senator
Roger Marshall. We're gonna talk about the confirmation hearings that
are coming up.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
All that and more.
Speaker 5 (42:23):
In the meantime, though, are the Kansas City Chiefs ever
gonna lose again?
Speaker 9 (42:30):
Clay, That's a great question, you know this, Dad, I'm
gonna throw at you. Eight times out of eight in
playoff football when Patrick Mahomes has been behind or tied,
He's led the Chiefs to a victory eight out of eight.
I think not even the Tom Brady could do that.
So he's chasing He's chasing Tom Brady the goat.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Yeah, there's no doubt.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
And we're gonna see what happens with Super Bowl coming
up next week down in New Orleans. Like I said,
I'll be down there Thursday Friday. Hopefully Bourbon Street will
be back up and running on fourteen. People lost their
lives there just a few weeks ago. And I also
know that New Orleans got hit with the biggest snowfall
I think in the history recorded history of the city.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
So can't wait to get down there. On the Washington,
d C. Front, Senator.
Speaker 5 (43:15):
A lot more nominations coming forward this week, including RFK Junior,
Tulsea Gabbard, Cash Patel. Based on your reading of the landscape,
right now, how do you think all three of those
and more are looking from a confirmation basis?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Are you optimistic?
Speaker 4 (43:33):
Ye know, I'm very optimistic for different reasons.
Speaker 9 (43:36):
But I think once we got Pete Hegg set across
the finish line, I think that set the stage up
for the rest of them.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
I think with Bobby.
Speaker 9 (43:43):
Kennedy maybe the most controversial, but he also has the
largest ground swell of people out there supporting him, and
President Trump realizes that When Bobby Kennedy endorsed President Trump,
Trump's numbers went up. I think this Republican Party, the
ten is bigger than it's ever been. These people are
very politically active, They're very loud, and I think Bobby
(44:04):
Kennedy's going to do a great job. He's absolutely a disruptor.
I'm looking forward to working with them to make America
healthy again. Sixty percent of Americans have a chronic disease
right now, and that's mostly determined by what we eat
and the toxins were exposed to. So I think he's
going to be great for America, a great disruptor, and
I can't wait to work with him to help make
(44:24):
America healthy again. Right.
Speaker 5 (44:27):
Beth gets in as defense Secretary Friday evening, but it
was fifty to fifty. You had Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski,
and Susan Collins all in your fifty three vote. Republican
majority vote against those individuals. Do you think that there
will be unanimity from the Republicans? Do you expect some defections?
(44:48):
What are you hearing about these new confirmations coming forward?
Speaker 4 (44:53):
Yeah, I think there's going to be some defections.
Speaker 9 (44:54):
I wish I could say differently, but I think that
Bobby could pick up several Democrats as well. I think
a lot of those folks over there have been preaching
the same message regarding proper nutrition, healthy nutrition. So I
think that Bobby's going to pick up some Democrats. He
may lose some Republicans that Pete didn't didn't lose as well,
you know, TULSI bet, I bet it could well be
(45:15):
a fifty to fifty gig as well. I don't know,
she'll pick up many many Democrats, and Cash could Cash
may grease by with fifty one.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
We'll see what happens. I'm optimistic.
Speaker 9 (45:26):
I think that people realize seventy seven million Americans voted
for Donald Trump. These are as people. Yes, they're change ages,
they're disruptors. They don't always fit the model that they're expecting,
but that's what we love about him. So we're ready
to play the game.
Speaker 5 (45:41):
We're talking with Senator Roger Marshall from the state of Kansas.
We're breaking this down. You just mentioned that there may
be difficulty on the Democrat side for Robert Kennedy Junior
and Tulsi Gabbard. I just want to remind everybody Tulsi
Gabbard ran for president as a Democrat in twenty twenty
and served multiple terms as a Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii
(46:03):
for seventy three and a half. I believe Robert F.
Kennedy Junior is seventy four. For seventy three and a
half of those years, RFK Junior was a Democrat. What
does it say about Trump broadening the coalition for the
Make America Healthy Again movement? But also, these are two
former Democrats that now Democrats are saying, well, these are
(46:23):
way too radical of choices for Donald Trump to have
inside of his cabinet. That's pretty crazy from a political perspective,
isn't it.
Speaker 9 (46:32):
Yeah, yeah, Clay, to your point, I Nanson, we call hypocrites.
If Heaven forbid, Joe Biden was still president and he
had nominated Bobby Kennedy, it would have been brilliant, right,
Chelsey Gabbert, What a brilliant choice. But instead they resort
to personal character assassination. They resort to politics. They're going
to find something wrong with all of them. And I
(46:53):
get that. I don't agree with Bobby Kennedy on several things,
but we agree that we both want to make America
healthy again.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
TOLSI.
Speaker 9 (47:01):
I'm not sure about some of these past visits she's made,
but in our set down session, she said, I promise
to make things more transparent. That win in doubt, She's
going to say Congress needs to see this and win
possible Americans to see this as well. We're already seeing
John Ratcliffe right now opening up the COVID file on
FAUCI and showing America what most of us already knew
(47:22):
is that the virus was made there in Wuhan, China,
and they had a lab leak. You know, Cash is
up here just throwing grenades at people, saying, let's shut
down the FBI building. How about sending all these FBI
agents out with their badges and guns and chasing bad guys.
What an original thought. So he is absolutely changing the
way the game's played up here, and that's why Americans
(47:44):
voted for Donald Trump. But to your point, the Democrats
are hypocrites on this issue.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
What do you expect to see in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Oh? Super Bowl gosh.
Speaker 9 (47:55):
I think it'll be a little bit more high scoring
than that I was expecting. I think it's gonna be
thirty some points. I think that you're going to see
Andy Reid go down as the most brilliant offensive mind
going back to some of those really good San Francisco
forty nine er teams as well. I think you're going
to see Patrick Mahomes define his future and what it
(48:15):
looks like to be the Goat. But Philadelphia has an
incredible team that's going to be incredibly competitive.
Speaker 4 (48:21):
I think it's going to be a great game.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
No doubt. What else should we know going forward?
Speaker 5 (48:28):
There's been a lot of debate about one big, beautiful bill,
as Trump has called it, versus breaking up a lot
of what's trying to happen once we get through the
confirmation process. Let me ask you that, how long do
you think it will take for this confirmation process to
play itself out and for Trump to be able to
have his full team of individuals out there working for him.
Speaker 9 (48:49):
Yeah, I think that we're a We're right on schedule.
We're keeping up with the Obama schedule for confirmations, but
it could take well two months, maybe three months to
get them all across the finish line. But I think
we'll get these important ones is done here within the
in the next month. Then moving forward, we are working
very hard on this reconciliation bill to fulfill President Trump's
campaign promises. He needs more money to secure the border.
(49:12):
He promised to drill baby drill, So we're passing some
regulatory process. We're actually rolling back regulations in that process
to allow energy to start growing again as well, And
then I think you'll be on that. We need some
funding for the military as well. We have a couple
other big issues out there facing us. The government's funding
(49:32):
ins March fourteenth, sometime the end of the spring, we
hit our debt limit, so I'm thinking about all three
of those at the same time. I'm not sure the
House can get all that done that they're wanting, but
we'll get as much of it done as we can
I hope by April and we may have to come
back and take a second bite of the.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
Apple in the early summer.
Speaker 5 (49:52):
All right, good stuff, as always, appreciate the time, Senter Marshall.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
We'll talk to you again. Enjoy the Super Bowl next week.
Speaker 4 (49:59):
Hey Clay, thanks much, co cheese.
Speaker 5 (50:02):
That is a Senator Marshall from Kansas. Let me tell
you something. We came really close to winning our Prize
Picks pick. In fact, Josh Allen tried to score rushing
the football a couple of times down close. If he
had done it, we would have won our ten to
one the other three all hit. I'll have a pick
for you next week for the Super Bowl that I
(50:23):
imagine huge numbers of you will be watching. But in
the meantime, I want you to get fifty bucks. All
