Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome everybody. Monday edition of Clay and Buck gets going
right now. Appreciate you being with us so much to
break down for you, and I can assure you there
will be more drama during this show than there was
between the Eagles and the Chiefs last night, more excited,
whole game play. I watched the whole game. I brought

(00:23):
a bunch of Post friends over and thankfully they were
very entertaining because the game was not. And I don't
care that everybody was saying the same thing. Who was
of sound mind and judgment? It is, in fact the
case that that was the worst halftime super Bowl show
I've ever seen in my entire life. It was, I
can remember it was. It was beyond atrocious. It was

(00:46):
some people are saying the worst ever, and so we
shall discuss a bit of this. I will say, my
beloved Eagles, well, I have been rooting for ever since
Clay said that he picked the Chiefs. So several days,
several days, my beloved Eagles came through. So those of you,
I bet our audience is probably five to one Chiefs
versus Eagles fans. That would be my what do you think?

Speaker 2 (01:08):
It?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Totally?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
I don't know good question, because they're both very regional,
but the Eagles are a much bigger franchise, Like in
terms of a lot more people have lived in the
Philly area than have lived in the Kansas City.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Get the whole Eastern you probably get the whole Eastern seaboard,
which is a lot of population, right, A lot of people.
I mean, I think if you're a Jet I don't
know if you're if you're a Jets or a Giants fan,
do you adopt the Eagles when they're in the old
God no, no, sorry, sorry? They hate each other.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
There are a lot of angry Giants fans, Cowboy fans,
Washington fans. They want Philly to lose. They hate them.
And interesting, this was kind of the hater super Bowl
because Philly fans don't have a lot of national h
like for for lack of a better way to put it.
And I think a lot of people have been burned

(02:03):
out on Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift and the
Chiefs as they've won three Super Bowls in the past
few years. I do think there's a for a lot
of people, you know, I think that maybe it breaks
down along the lines of there are there are dynasty
people and they're underdog people.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
You know, there are people that love a dynasty. You know,
I knew New Yorkers who had the gall during the
nineties to be big Chicago Bulls fans. You know, it's like,
how dare you, sir? How dare you? And the other
people that always want the scrappy underdogs. I feel like
the Eagles felt more like the underdogs again from my
seventy two hours or so of Super Bowl research, and yeah,

(02:40):
it was it was. It was quite It was quite
good to see them come through. So Clay will give
you more actual analysis on the Super Bowl and things
like that as we go through the show, and we'll
discuss all of that. But you know, Trump was first off,
let's start with this because this is a politics show.
Trump was cheered loudly. Trump was at the Super everybody Clay,

(03:01):
who was watching the game at my place here in
South Beach, had the same reaction to he's really the
first president to ever go to a super Bowl. It
was kind of hard to believe. I just had assumed
there would have been other presidents. First presidents ever go
to Super Bowl. He walks, or rather, there's him, I
mean he walked in with a lot of security and stuff,
but there's him on the screen and giving everybody a wave.

(03:24):
And this is Donald Trump shown during the national anthem?
Cut ten, play it, brastract and Wright star.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
To the pans.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Fine, well, the so I feel like a very positive reception.
Play We're going to dive into the numbers here in
a second. We're not tired of winning, but there's a
lot of winning going on right now. But for you
sports sports officionado and expert, what was it like to

(04:03):
see a president getting that applause first time ever at
the Super Bowl? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:07):
So, I don't know how many people noticed it. Did
you notice when they showed him during the national anthem?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Book?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Did you hear the line they specifically chose to show
him on the word fight because of the fight fight
fight reaction. I don't know how many people know that
it's superscripted every shot in the super Bowl like that.
They went to Trump in the box. Can we replay that?
Because I haven't seen anybody else pointed out I know

(04:35):
this to be true. Listen one more time when you
start to hear when that camera goes to Trump, I
haven't seen anybody else point this out.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Listen, Braws, Strikes and bright Star.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Fine.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Now again, they were intentionally evoking Trump's standing and saying
fight fight fight right after the assassination attempt by showing
him during that particular line of the anthem. Again, I
haven't seen anybody else point this out, but I thought
that was really well done. And it's why Buck, when
I came on, remember when ESPN missed the national anthem

(05:21):
and the moment of silence and all those things. The
super Bowl is scripted down to the shot that will
be used in incredible detail. So when ESPN said, oh,
we just had a commercial break that happened to overlap,
it's like no, no, no, no, no no. Big games
are down to the minute, down to the second controlled

(05:43):
For instance, they have eight minutes of Trump with Brett Bayer.
Basically that's how long the president gets in the run up.
Trump wanted an hour. He said I'll talk to him
for an hour. They were like no, no, no, no, you
get eight minutes. To his credit, he did it.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Buck.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
The cheering I think is evocative the CBS poll that
came out that.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
We're gonna play that in a second. Yeah, the CBS
poll is looking very good for him.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Sixty percent mail approval. I don't remember the last time
I saw a president with sixty percent mail approval. And
you had Eagle fans, and you had Chiefs fans buck
and they were overwhelmingly cheering players. Chris Jones, best defensive
player from the Chiefs. When Trump came onto the field,
he's a diehard Trump guy. Wanted to go shake his hand.

(06:29):
You had Patrick Mahomes' family come into the suite to
pose for photos. Mahomes is a big Trump guy. The
anti Trump sports era, which I lived through, is over.
It is over, I believe in a big way. Athletes, coaches,
executives they voted Trump over Kamala and they're not pretending

(06:50):
otherwise anymore.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
That was the best part of the whole thing. M
clay just said. I will point out the game unless
you're an Eagles fan who just wanted to see your
team destroy the other team, which I'm or a lot
of them did, the game was boring. I mean, the
halftime show was so bad that Trump should sign an
executive order banning Kendrick Lamar from ever doing any halftime
show ever.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
For all eternity. It's the worst halftime show I've ever seen.
I tweeted that. People are mad at me for saying it.
I've been getting ripped, but I'm sorry, and I like rap.
I mean, I thought that Snoop Dogg Eminem, that show
that was in LA a couple of years ago. This
was truly atrocious.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
And the commercials were crappy, awful, and the commercial showing
what was that The NFL ran a commercial showing women
beating men in football. Stop insulting us. It's annoying. Okay,
it's annoying, Like I don't know why they have to
keep doing this thing of like girl power, Like girls
are just as strong and fast as guys. They're not.
It's annoying. Stop it, Okay, the guys on that field anyway,

(07:50):
we don't have to get It's not even we're talking about.
It's just like this childish fantasy that the left the
Democrats still like to push. So let's get into now. Clay,
by the way, you're right, the totality of the shift
culturally and sports specific with Trump there last night, that
was incredible, and that was the most noteworthy thing other
than the win for the Eagles of the whole night.

(08:11):
I think everything else was kind of really lay king
the vibe shift Buck.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
CNN reached out to me for comments on how significant
it was that Trump was at the game for their
articles I haven't gotten I've been banned.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Since you need to respond and say, am I still banned?
Question Mark? That should be your only response. Am I
still banned? CNN? By the way, I bet you're not.
I bet you're not. That was a Zucker thing. You're
not banned anymore. I bet. I mean, I know you
can't go on because of Fox, but you could, you
know they would put your quotes and stuff up there. Okay,
let's get to Mark, because you know we got we
also got Elon, we got big balls, we got a

(08:47):
million things. We got to dive into. Margaret Brennan having
to spit out the words, looking so sour as she
says it, pointing out that CBS Director of Elections has
polling data showing Trump's roval rating currently the best it
has ever been.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Cut one our CBS poll finds and a majority of
Americans fifty three percent approve of the job he's doing.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
That's a better approval.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Number than he ever reached during his first term in
the White House.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
What's driving this I will keep it simple, Margaret.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
He is doing, in the eyes of the public, what
he said he would do in the campaign.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
There's political value in that.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
In fact, seventy percent of people say he's doing what
he promised.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
That's whether they approve of him or not.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
The idea of deporting those in the country illegally continues
to be popular. We saw that in the campaign sending
troops to the US Mexico border again majority in favor.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
We've seen that in the campaign for his supporters.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
In particular, the focus on ending DEI is popular.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Clay. It's not only Trump running up the scoreboard with
all this executive orders and all these things. The media
doesn't know what to do because the American people are
with him. The old tricks, the old Trump is Hitler.
None of that stuff is working.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, and it's not only where the fact that Trump
has support I mentioned that men in that CBS poll
sixty forty. I don't remember the last time that a
president had sixty percent approval among male voters. I mentioned
this before. I know it wasn't a Democrat.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
You know.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
The last Democrat presidential candidate to win a majority of
male voters, Lyndon Johnson nineteen sixty four, Like, that is
crazy to think about how much of a female dominated
party the Democrat Party has become. And Buck, it's not
only men plus twenty. You know what else really jumped

(10:42):
out at me? Under thirty voters Trump plus ten. This
is I think indicative of why the culture and the
vibe shift feels so real because much of the resistance
was driven by young women in the twenty seventeen Trump era.
And then also, you know this because you lived in
New York City, some young men tried to pretend that

(11:06):
they weren't Trump people because they wanted pretty girls to
be able to date them. This is a thing. I
think what's happened now is young men have gone all
in for Trump, and now pretty girls want guys to
like them, and pretty girls are now starting to come
on the maga train too. In other words, the sex

(11:26):
dynamic has flipped. And I think a big reason why
this is my big picture analysis, the abortion scare mongering.
It doesn't work anymore because most people are like, yeah,
my life hasn't really changed very much since Roe v.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Wade got overturned. I knew we would get here. It
took a little longer than I thought in terms of
we had to go through one midterm cycle first. But
this is the reality of it, which is that blue
states have kept the laws that they want on this,
Red states have changed the laws, and then you have
some other places where things are more in flux. But
it isn't that that the abortion. Remember the woman who's like, well,

(12:00):
I was at the I was at the liquor store
and some ky and that's the greatest joint. And I
bought champagne because Kamala is gonna win. Uh, don't you know.
I'm a political analyst.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
That was That might've been my favorite thing of the
entire We need to we need to bring that back
every now, just to have some fun with it.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I'm a political analyst, and the voices of women across
America will be heard. Trump just smoked Kamala Harris, seven
seven swing states all went his way. And I still think, Clay,
there's what I what I love here is the basic
strategy is to push and keep going as fast and
as many places as Trump and Elon and the cabinet

(12:42):
and the team around them ken because the Democrats are
in disarray. The Democrat this is not an orderly retreat
we are seeing after the twenty twenty four election. This
is a route. This is the Democrats running for the hills,
running for cover, and the Republican cavalry with Trump at
the front, running up, running up the scoreboard in a
big way. Look, you know, yesterday we had a little

(13:03):
bit of barbecue here and it was quite good. But
I'll tell you something, I was thinking about making some steaks, Clay.
I'm a big red meat guy. I like cooking steaks.
I'm all about it, and I know top quality. I
know what i'm doing, I know my way around a
cast iron. Our next sponsor here, Good Ranchers, is phenomenal.
They're so good that I would actually invite my brothers

(13:26):
over these days for steak night at my place over
the best steakhouse that we go to in South Beach,
because the quality of the meat is as good or better.
And they're talking about charging, you know, eighty dollars for
a filet minon, I mean, crazy stuff at that steakhouse.
Go see Good Ranchers and see what they've got. The
chicken is phenomenal, which you know, and a lot of

(13:47):
people's like, oh, you know, it's chicken. How much? No no, no, no,
this chicken is incredible, and I'm going to tell you
this right now. They have the best. You've tried the nuggets,
right My.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Boys love the nuggets, you know, kids, Sometimes chicken nuggets
is the staple. The steaks, as you mentioned, I absolutely love.
I was blown away how good the quality of the
steak is and the chicken nuggets carriers laughing at me.
I have two giant bags of their chicken nuggets in
my freezer because I go through them so quickly.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
No seed oil and gluten free. My friends, you will
a lot of chicken nuggets taste good, but they got
some trash in there. Good Ranchers none of that stuff.
I'm talking about the top quality steaks. They've got Pacific cod,
king salmon, shrimp for your proteins. You want to go
with Good Ranchers, it's My freezer is full of Good
Ranchers right now, and I'll carry and I cook a lot.

Welcome back into Clay and Buck, and we are talking
about a lot going on in DC right now, and
they fight against the deep state, a bunch of judges
putting universal injunctions against Trump moves. We're going to dive
into this, but first the media fascinated with one member
of DOZE, in particular the fellow as well play two

(16:01):
good evening, thanks for joining us. We begin tonight with
Musk and big Balls, big balls, big balls in nineteen
year old that goes by the username big Ball, big
Balls who work for Elon mus so called Department of
Government Efficiency.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Doge the big Balls kid a literal teenager.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Big balls, big balls here, So that would be one
way that we could refer to him.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Young computer Whizzz, the aforementioned big balls, because who among.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Us doesn't feel better about big balls.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Big balls, big balls, big b alls. That's what he
calls himself.

Speaker 6 (16:30):
In charge of American air traffic Control.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Now they are saying it. First of all, he's not
in charge of American air traffic control, but put that aside.
The lies. Now, what you're seeing is they don't actually
have arguments against a lot of this stuff, so they're
just gonna lie about everything, and I we'll start to
pull apart, pick apart some of those lies here momentarily.
But they think it reminds me a little bit clay
of Trump running in twenty sixteen. They think talking about

(16:55):
this is mockery that will turn people against the Doge team.
They don't understand that that vibe shift, as we have discussed,
where the culture is increasingly with Trump, with Elon, with this,
this team of mavericks, if you will, this sort of
a non traditional look at the government waste and abuse.

(17:17):
Because here's an example of what Elon Doje and Big Yes,
mister big balls are looking at. Elon tweeted this out.
Doge canceled a seventeen million dollar project by the US
government to provide tax policy advice to Liberia. We're sending
twenty seventeen million, but you know, seventeen million dollars to

(17:42):
Liberia to help them with tax Do we think anyone
is actually helped by this advice? I mean, if they
have the Internet in Liberia, can't they look up tax
advice there? Why are we doing this? It's we're just
in a set in a place where the deep state,
the forever government, the bureaucracy, lights money on fire with
impunity and thinks that they're the good guys for doing it. Clay,

(18:05):
The New York Times has forty million dollars of subscriptions, Yeah,
by by government. You want to know how these how
the left wing? Why is it that we have like
a few things in conservative media, which by the way,
are very profitable, right, Like you know, you're talking about
talk radio, Fox News, Like these are businesses that have

(18:26):
sustained themselves, you know, or like we all know, right,
I mean, this is this is capitalism working. And yet
on the left it's like NPR, ABC News, CBS News, NBC.
You know, you go through all these things. Well, if
you can get government employees by the hundreds of thousands
to have the government's money paying for your subscription, that's
a pretty big advantage, don't you think it's.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's monstrously huge. And I just I'm maybe I'm just out.
I was stunned by this. And I come from the
media universe, Buck, where I've had to do ad sales.
It is so hard to do a million dollars in
ad revenue. I mean a lot of your local shows
that you are listening to in conjunction with this show Premiere,

(19:10):
a lot of your local affiliate shows, they will bust
their ass to get a million dollars in total revenue,
and all of these different local markets all over the country.
I remember Buck both selling individual ads to fund out Kick,
but I also remember the local sports talk radio show
that I did. When we hit one and a half

(19:33):
million dollars in AD revenue, like, we were super excited
about how successful that show had been. That's a successful business.
That's a hard milestone.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Look, I remember the first five thousand dollars of AD
revenue I sold on a pot on my podcast, like
fourteen years ago. I was, yeah, five grand.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I went out and did all of these pitches and
everything else. And I understand most people don't really know
the media business, but to have tens of millions of
dollars dollars of mine and your taxpayer money going to
SEP subsidized left wing content is bonkers.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
And I just want to hit you with this. Think
about it.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
I think this is a talking point that should be
slammed home more frequently. How would the media cover it
if there were a twenty thousand dollars a year Fox
News product that all of the Trump administration was paying
tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars a year
to support. Because people out there are like, well that's

(20:32):
just what Politico pro cost twenty thousand dollars a year.
I'm sorry, like that.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
I never paid twenty grand a year for anything as
a subscription. In my life, I have no idea. This
is insane clear subscription. My first house was seventy thousand dollars.
I mean, like, the idea that you would pay twenty
k to get a freaking email password for an article
is bonkers to me. Also, why is that a legitimate
expenditure of because what they say is like, yeah, that's

(20:59):
just the you know, we know that. Here's the thing, everybody,
their arguments are trash. The people that are trying to
argue against what Elon and the Trump administration are doing
right now, their arguments are garbage. So they're just going
to start now. They're talking about Elon has access to
too much personal information. Elon works on rocket ships and
has a TS clearance and is better at what's going

(21:21):
on and has more influence on what's happening in outer
space than NASA by a factor of one hundred. Okay,
it's not even close that Elon can't be trusted. Elon
was an original founder at PayPal, where they had access
to everyone's banking information. I mean, this guy's track record
of not giving a you know what about random people's

(21:42):
social security numbers and like personal data. Their arguments against
what he's doing are insane. These are arguments for people
that don't live in reality. And it's because when we
look at this clay, you say, hold on, why is
the governments? Why if you're sitting in the in the department,
why are taxpayer dollars via commerce paying for your New

(22:05):
York Times subscription? Yes, pay for your own damn New
York Times subscription? What is this?

Speaker 3 (22:10):
I would look, I pay for all my subscriptions. Now
I don't work for the government, but I would be
embarrassed to ask iHeart to pay for my Uh, You've
never had.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
An employer pay for a newspaper subscription. That's that's on me.
Wouldn't you be embarrassed to even ask? Yes? Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (22:27):
And I would feel the same way about asking Fox
to pay for my subscriptions to you know, Washington Post.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Or or whatever else. Why Why shouldn't all these bureaucrats
have the federal government paying for their cable bill?

Speaker 3 (22:38):
There's news channels, yeah, I just I And so I
can't even imagine the thought process. You're just using the
government like a trough of cash to be signing up
for these things, Like I just I would be humiliated
and embarrassed if I worked at a government office and
for people that tried to defend this. Again, I'm looking

(23:01):
at it from the perspective of someone who has done
media and.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Had to do ad sales.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
It's hard to get a million dollars when we're talking
about tens of millions of dollars going to these companies.
That's not very different from all of these left wing
organizations basically paying and subsidizing all the reporting that they
want to go after their adversaries.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
It's like they're.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Retaining their own independent news media and independent is in
a quote quotation mark because they want them to throw
and this is so important, Buck and I feel like
we could do a whole show on this, the laundering
of stories through the media to then justify using them
to attack your political opponents. Look, if Chuck Schumer wants

(23:47):
to argue that Pete Hegseth doesn't deserve to be Defense Secretary,
and he wants to lay out the reasons why that's
at least above board, And I'm just using Chuck Schumer
because he's a centatem majority or a Senate minority. If
he gets Pro Publica or the Washington Post or the
New York Times to publish an attack piece so that

(24:08):
he can then use it to try to argue against
Pete Hagseth. That's dishonest. It's laundering dirty information through your
media allies and then claiming that these independent journalists have
just raised this story. It's so dirty and it's actually
the foundation of American politics right now.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Well, it's also Russia collusion, right. The whole Russia collusion
thing was you hit people in the FBI as sources
for the media, and then the FBI people for warrants
for Faiza, which I remember when I when I'm a
CIA and like anything that had to do with FIA's
information was treated as, oh, this is a very powerful tool,

(24:50):
and everyone has to be very you know, above board,
and it's all audit and everything else. The FBI fees
the media stories to attack the people they don't like
in politics, and then the FB in official documents goes, well,
look at what they said at the Associated Press, I'm
gonna cite that for the warrant. I mean, the whole thing,
like I say, is the is the ultimate self licking

(25:11):
ice cream cone. And for anyone who's by, we're gonna
have to their arguments against this are all garbage, and
so it's just going to be just constant lies, constant misdirection.
They cannot take these things on to say, for example,
that they do not believe that this money matters because

(25:32):
it's not enough it every dollar when you file your taxes,
Does every dollar matter? Oh, you're darn right it is.
You and I have talked about this. I got a
demand for like an extra one hundred bucks one year,
and I wasn't making much money at the time from
the irs. Every dollar matter is when it comes to
the government taking money from you, But every dollar doesn't
count when it comes to what the government is spending.
That's outrageous, that's unacceptable. And it goes to the mentality

(25:54):
that has become pervasive in DC, which is that the
government is here forever. You know, the Republicans can elect
some clown here or there to be quote president and
have a cabinet, but really the government governs no matter
what clay. That has to stop that mentality is what
we are fighting.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, and I mean in your own family, if you
found out that you were paying twenty percent of your
bills for fraudulent not what you were paying for aspects
of your life. Would you be like, well, it's only
twenty percent, or would you acknowledge, Hey, this is significant.

(26:34):
I mean, you just talked to me, just talked about
the fact buck you're getting in shape with the baby coming.
It's like saying, well, for anybody out there that's one
hundred pounds overweight, well it's only five pounds. Well, you
can't address the corpus of your overweight aspect unless you
start somewhere right. I mean, I just I fundamentally reject
the idea of oh, it's only two percent of spending. Oh,

(26:56):
it's only four percent of spending. If it's wasted money
and it's our money and it's fraud, why in the
world should we just pretend that it's okay or acceptable
to have any element of fraud imbedded in our tax spending.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
The mentality of a weight loss and fitness journey to
the degree I'm able to speak about this to maybe
eventually I'll put some progress picks online. You guys will
be impressed. Progress has been good. But the from from
that perspective and the government spending issue, uh, it really
is about how you treat everything and what you're willing

(27:33):
to address and do you have a sense of what
is going on? Meaning do even do you even know
what's happening? Do you even know who's getting this money?
Do you even know how much money is being spent?
Do you even know what's happening to the money that
we're giving to the people that are supposed to be
spending it? Same thing with how many steps a day
are you getting, how many calories are you eating, how

(27:53):
much protein are you getting? Like, if you don't know
these things, you can't fix it. And I know it's
taking you know, individual die and taking it to the
multi trillion dollar federal government, But the basic principles are
the same, and I think Elon would agree with that,
by the way, which is why when he says they're
now gonna go and I mean they're auditing a whole
range of federal institutions and they're gonna go audit social Security.

(28:16):
What are the Democrats saying he wants to take away
your social Security? No, that is a lie. Elon just
wants to not have Social Security writing one hundred billion
dollars of fraudulent government taxpayer checks a year. How about that?
Who's not on board with that? Yeah? And again.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
I think it's really important to who we come back.
Do you see Mark Cuban, who's now upset at Elon
and Trump and everybody. You're not gonna be surprised.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Buck.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Do you know what he did just a few years ago,
say thirty percent of the government's probably fraudum waste and
we should cut it. And now because he voted for Kamala,
he's suddenly come back around.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
The guy's brain's broken. We'll play some audio with you
of that.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Unfortunately, Buck, we have lost you and I big losers
on our prize picks Picks. We won the free square.
That's good because it's impossible. I did say the Eagles
would win. We did, unfortunately, put no money on that though.
So but Juju Smith Schuster by a half point went

(29:20):
over his receiving yards and then Saquon didn't score. He
got close, had a couple of close opportunities, he didn't
get into the end zone. And Travis Kelcey was a
no show in the first half. So we lost. We lost.
We took it on the chin. We kind of got smoked,
but we try smoked. In fact, you would have done
better if you had faded us and took the exact

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I do
think we need to continue to hammer just exactly how
radical the idea of trying to budget in a reasonable,
rational way, the crazy fraud that has been uncovered inside
of the United States government. The idea that this is

(30:51):
in some way political in nature is I think democrats
telling on themselves, but also understand what the resistance is.
Even you mentioned him a little bit earlier, Scott Galloway
is a fairly intelligent guy. He says that the members
of DOGE, that is Department of Government Efficiency, Ewan's minions.

(31:14):
I've heard them called the musketeers whatever you want to
call them inside of the government, that they should be
arrested because this is a coup. Listen to this take
and understand how crazy it really is.

Speaker 7 (31:28):
I want to know who their names are, and I
want to see democratic governor saying I'm going to do
everything i can in my power to use the full
faith in to the letter of the law to put
you folks in prison. I think what you're doing is trespassing.
I think this is a coup. And be clear, just
because the new insurrectionist who was elected, I don't believe
this is legal, and I'm going to hold the people
accountable who are trespassing and part of a coup accountable

(31:51):
to just sit back and say this is horrible and
this is unlawful. We need to go gangster here and say, look,
we are not going to gociating around this stuff.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
This is illegal.

Speaker 7 (32:02):
This is a coup. This is the unlawful seizure of power.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Why, Buck, I just this guy's a reasonably intelligent guy,
very smart even I've read several.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Of his books.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
How has a coup ever been used to reduce I
said this last week, and it's like became a talking point.
Dictatorships typically don't take away the size of government or
reduce the power of government. If it's a coup to
make government more efficient, then I think we should all
be supporting a coup and the idea that these guys

(32:36):
should be arrested for making virtually no money and just
trying to uncover fraud. This is important. We have whistleblowers, Buck,
who basically the entire basis of the whistleblower statute is
to reward people who come forward and share instances of
fraud with payment for all of the money they save.

(32:57):
If anything, I would say this is somewhat anw alogous
to a whistleblower type comment, because we have all these
brilliant guys, they're almost all young men going through government
expenditures and uncovering aspects of our tax dollars that are
being wasted. These ys are heroes far from being worthy
of arrest, which is crazy, But I do think you

(33:19):
guys need to hear the arguments that are coming out.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Clay. It is long understood that the president this is
kind of a big deal to be the president. I
know that the Libs are still very sad because the
president is once again Donald Trump. But the president's a
pretty big job with a lot of powers. And maybe
they've forgotten that because they had a dementia patient posing
as a president for four years while a bunch of

(33:44):
you know, Beta mail cry babies were pulling the strings
on him like a puppet in the White House. But
you can actually have somebody with ideas and decision making
and real authority doing stuff, and that is what Donald
Trump is doing. And I would just note that we
have this now kind of media tradition of referring to
certain people as czars. Right, you refer to, oh, I

(34:04):
don't know, there was that guy who was the Obama
kar czar when they were doing the whole GM bailout thing. Right.
And the president is allowed to appoint special employees who
are given presidential authority to work on tasks that are
within the constitutional purview of the president. So for somebody
who is at least ostensibly to your point intelligent and

(34:26):
NYU professor, that actually doesn't mean you're intelligent, but whatever.
To say that these guys should be arrested for trespassing,
that's a very bad idea, and anybody who would do
such a thing would be impeding federal authority, which as
we know, Democrats have a very clear history of you're
impeding a federal proceeding, you should go to prison for

(34:48):
like five years, right. I mean, so, I'm sorry that
they don't like the reality. But the reality is the
president can do what he is doing with regard to
the appointment of Elon Musk and others as special advisory
employees or whatever you want to call them. This has
been going on for many many administrations. They had no
problem with it before. The real problem they have is

(35:08):
Trump is doing something that they should have done if
they were serious about getting fraud out of the government.
The bigger problem is the fraud mostly goes to their
friends and buddies, and we all know that now and
we're finding out more and more of that, and that
is the part of it, the grift, the graft. That's
the part of it that I think is so upsetting

(35:30):
to the Democrat establishment, because what we're seeing is they
had created a system in d C whereby the election
was just kind of a temporary whatever. If a Republican wins,
there's a permanent government that gets to spend the money
it wants, do what it wants, and stop anyone from
reforming it. Trump has come in this time and said,
that's actually not the way this is supposed to go,

(35:52):
and it's not the way it will go now that
I have my say, and they can cry about it,
but the Libs are wrong. The Constitution gives them this authority.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Also the other aspect here, and we haven't talked about
it very much, but I do think it's significant. We
told you this would happen. Federal district court judges are
going to do everything they can to keep Trump from
being able to enact his policies. This judge's ruling that

(36:22):
is trying to stop some of what Dog is doing. Buck,
it's four pages, It has almost no legal sounding. In fact,
it is one federal judge. And again I will give
credit where there is massive amounts of legal uncertainty. We
told you again using birthright citizenship, this is going to

(36:44):
have to go through the entire court system. Until this
gets to the Supreme Court, we won't know what the
law on the fourteenth Amendment is. We do know that
the president has the right to choose the people who
work inside of the executive branch. Now, if you want
to argue you, hey, these people can't be fired and
you want to get into a labor and employment dispute, UH,

(37:05):
that is a more interesting argument. But the idea that
one federal district court judge can undo the entire powers
of the United States President is actually pretty staggering.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
In a case like this New York judge Paul Engelmeyer.
Now we're talking about the jujic. Mike. Senator Mike Lee
has called it a judicial coup, and that is what
it feels like right now. You have random federal judges
and this should also be had to hit my friend
Sean Davis reporting this out. The Supreme Court is a
coequal branch of government, the federal the federal judges, those

(37:43):
are creations of Congress. That's a whole other thing. Okay.
So Congress is like, yeah, we need all these federal
judges to uh, to interpret federal law as part of
that enforcement UH, and as part of that component of
the government. But anyway, the the judge engel Meyer has
forbidden even the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessen, from accessing Department

(38:04):
of Treasury data. I just want everyone to let that
just simmer for a second. There a federal judge sitting
in New York, a partisan hack, has said the Treasury
secretary does not have full access to Treasury Department data. Now,
I can just put this in a different context. Imagine
if a federal judge said the CIA director does not

(38:28):
have full access to everything within the CIA. Ever, would realize, well,
that's insane, right. What's maybe even more insane that the
Treasury director does not have a Treasury secretary does not
have access to this. These are the kinds of arguments.
This is the petty, childish no, you can't do the
things the constitution says you can do because we don't

(38:49):
like it, and why don't they like it? Clay, bring
us back to this Elon share that HHS had canceled
sixty two contracts worth one hundred and eighty two million
dollars play. All of that was for this is what
Dosh's doing administrative expenses. I can tell you this, the
one hundred and eighty million dollars that was being distributed

(39:09):
from HHS for ADMIN costs. Those are going to Democrat voters,
Democrat donors, Democrat power overwhelmingly, probably ninety percent plus of it,
maybe one hundred percent of it. This is why they're
ticked off. I think that's one hundred percent true. And
this is where the real opposition to Trump is coming.
It's not from a Democrat because there is no eloquent

(39:32):
voice to oppose much of what he's doing. It's going
to come from the courts. And so understand the reason
why Trump has to move so fast is because there's
going to be massive interruptions from the courts and they're
going to hold everything up. We need to get Ron
Johnson on later this later this week to talk about

(39:53):
the larger budget battles that are going on. I was with.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
The Speaker of the House, who we can get on
again soon, Mike Johnson on Sunday on the Super Bowl field,
and he was talking with Shannon Breem about what the
overall timeline is going to be to get all these
deals done. But a big part of this, understand is
how far into the future are we setting what the
tax rates are going to be and how do you

(40:20):
manage to balance all this off setting cost? And again,
I just I would ask you, and I know there's
tons of you out there listening to us right now,
how has it become political to want to eliminate fraud
from the United States government? I will say, did you
see the interview Margaret Brennan did with the anonymous federal worker, Buck,

(40:42):
government employee who was whining about how suddenly they worried
about their job security. I'm sorry, everyone in America who
doesn't have the luxury of having a government job lives
with the constant fear that you might lose your job.
I have no sympathy for some sniveling, overpaid government employee

(41:08):
who was trying to oppose Trump's agenda suddenly having to think,
oh maybe I won't keep my job. And Buck, if
they if we thought they didn't have good jobs, they
offered to pay them through September and let them find
new jobs. And almost no one took the opportunity to
go find a new job.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
And I bet this is what I've explained. You know,
this went kind of viral because I was because again
I was in the federal government and one of the
big incentives for federal employment for people is the forever job,
and if you're risk averse, you have a forever I
had people in the CIA, I will tell you this,
and the CIA, at least then there were some badasses,

(41:48):
legitimately badasses running around me. Sean Ryan, I mean, you know,
you look at some of these guys who've come forward now,
I mean, you know, see, I had some pretty awesome
people working there. You know, Sean does a great podcast.
I'm sure a lot of you've seen An. He talks
about this stuff. See, I it's some badasses. It's a
pretty lean and mean part of federal government. But when
I told them that I was considering a couple of
my advisors and senior people that I was going to

(42:10):
leave and actually do media, they were like, that's insane.
Like you're making you're making six figures. It's cool, and
you're never going to have to worry about a paycheck
for the rest of your life. Like, why would you
ever leave that? Right? And that was the mentality because
in media, you get fired and you don't get renewed
and companies shut down and things are scary, and like
that's all true.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
That's true of almost everybody in the private sector. So again,
I bet a third of you that are listening to
us today, if you got told, hey, i'll pay you
through September, but you have to go find a new job.
I bet a third of you would say, yeah, that's
pretty good deal. I'll take that offer. What is it
like twenty thousand of the two million some such have

(42:53):
been When I.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Was right, I said this before it happened. I said
you're going to get less than one percent. The administration
was saying five to ten percent. Because even inistration has
a lot of private sector people working in it who
see this in that lens. I know about the forever
job mentality and the forever it's very hard to get people.
It's like an addiction. I have healthcare, and I can
pay my bills forever. I never have to think about

(43:13):
it again. You can't. You can't beat that.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
You know, it's almost impossible to get fired, even for wrongdoings.
You have a lot of protections. Again, I don't have
any sympathy because we're paying for all those people, but
I do, and I look, if there's two million federal employees,
a million of you are probably doing great work. That
means a million of you are just sucking on the
government teap and taking advantage of a cushy job that

(43:39):
you can't find in the real world. And one of
the judges, I think it was the one in I
got trying to keep up with all these hashtag resistance
judges with the one in Massachusetts in Boston who said
that you can't uh, well, then there's a couple of
these things. Judge Carl Nichols has a temporary restraining order
saying you can't put us AID employee on administrative leave,

(44:01):
and as the president, you can't tell them to come
home from overseas. Another judge has said that you're not
allowed to offer the buyout to federal employees.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
These judges think they run the country. Yes, this is insane.
We should, we should, we should get into more of
this because this is going to be a huge This
is their only hope in their minds to stop Trump.
They just have judges make up stuff as they Judges
do crazy things that you know, they're all Obama appointees
and Biden appointees. We'll get into this rapid. Radios walkie

Speaker 2 (45:43):
The Team forty seven podcasts Trump highlights from the week
some days at noon Eastern in the Klanbug podcast speed
find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
The super Bowl the aftermath of a super Bowl, not
so much the sports, gamesmanship and all that, but the
politics around it. The first time a president has ever
been to a super Bowl was President Trump this weekend.
He was cheered by the audience when they went to
him during the national anthem, which is certainly, I think

(46:18):
a stirring moment for many of us, and then he
sat down. It was pretty quick. He did an interview
with Fox News' Brett Behar, and I wanted to go
through some of this with you because one thing about
Trump that's amazing is you have so much transparency about
not just what the government under his leadership in stewardship,

(46:41):
is trying to do, but what he thinks. You don't
have to wonder what Trump thinks about anything, because he
is well, maybe some things, but he is very transparent
with where his mind is on a whole range of issues. So,
for example, this is cut eleven. Brettbear talked about the
onslaught of executive orders, which so many of us feel

(47:03):
like is just fantastic, and it's exactly the kind of
first month we wanted to see out of this administration.
Here's how Trump responded to this notion. Plower, you know,
it's one of the.

Speaker 6 (47:16):
First days of this administration are like a no huddle offense,
you know, plays going down the field one after another.
There's a long list of things you've already got done
in three weeks. Big border policy changes, ice crackdowns on criminals,
taking biological men out of women as girls' sports, big
energy policy changes.

Speaker 4 (47:37):
So what's different with you and your administration?

Speaker 6 (47:39):
The difference between the forty fifth president and the forty
seventh president.

Speaker 8 (47:43):
Well, with the forty fifth, I had tremendous opposition, but
I didn't know people, and I didn't have the kind
of support that I needed. I put people in office,
some great, some really great ones, but I had some
that I wouldn't have put I would have, you know,
known better if it were a couple of years later,
if I had a little more experien in DC. I
was a New York person, not a DC person, and

(48:04):
I had a lot of opposition. I noticed that I
looked on the stage for the recent inauguration and I'm
looking as like a who's who of Washington. Well, if
you look on the stage for the first one, it
was just the opposite.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
I think that's totally true, Buck. I think that we
told you this, We said Trump two point zero is
going to hit the ground running. Now he's moving even
faster than I thought he was, because he knows who
can do the job and who's going to be loyal.
And you know what, I would point out, Buck, where
are the leaks? Remember how every day the New York
Times would have a new scoop and it would be

(48:38):
some inside exec, some inside anonymous or saying a lot
of times correctly, Hey, the next thing Trump's going to
do is X or Why By and large, there isn't
anything leaking until the government wants that information. The Trump
administration wants that information out. And let me just point
this out, Biden. The last two year years of his presidency,

(49:01):
Buck chose not to do the interview for the Super Bowl.
To me, that was a sign of just how broken
his brain was that they would choose not to have
the opportunity for him to talk to tens of millions
of people in what is a relatively relatively light ish interview, right,

(49:23):
I mean, it's a Super Bowl interview. I was also
told this. Buck Trump, when he sat down with Brett Behar,
was like, let's do an hour. I think all of
it's going to air tonight as a part of his
Fox News Brett Bear Show. But if Trump had been
given a full hour to do an interview during the
Super Bowl broadcast, he would have done a full hour.

(49:44):
He was totally all in on the opportunity to speak
to as many people as possible. And I just think
it's symbolic of the difference between these two guys. They
hid Biden for two years. Trump's like, Hey, how much
longer can we do this interview because I want to
keep communicating my message with the biggest possible audience. And

(50:05):
you know what, Buck, it's resonating that. To me, is
the biggest difference between Trump one point zero and two
point zero is the attacks really haven't stopped on him.
They're still trying to run the same playbook. But the
legacy media doesn't have the power to define him anymore.
And it's like every time they attack him, it bounces

(50:26):
back on them. It's like he's got a force field
that's up to protect him because the American public as
a group trust him far more.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
The Democrat corporate media just lied about Trump too many
times to the American people. I mean, that's really at
some point, it's just too much. And they reach that point.
And this is why when they say things now, I mean,
when any news organization has somebody saying, you know, Trump
is a this is another coup, or he's a fascist.

(50:56):
People who have been paying attention, who are psychologically stable
and have any judgment whatsoever laugh at this. They just
say this is insane. Okay, this is preposterous. And that's
where we are. That's a new level. Now. There are
some things that Trump is saying that have spiced up
the conversation a bit. He has said, for example, that

(51:17):
maybe the US should take God take control of Godza
in some capacity. He's weaving. It's policy weaving, he's figuring
out where he's going on it, okay. But also on
the issue of Canada. Now, Clay and I will share
our thoughts on the Canada conversation, but it came up
during the Super Bowl TV interview. This is cut twelve.

(51:39):
This is what the president said.

Speaker 6 (51:40):
You know, the Prime Minister said this weekend to a
group of Canadian businessmen.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
He was a private meeting.

Speaker 6 (51:45):
He said that your wish for Canada be the fifty
first state is a quote real thing.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
Is it a real thing?

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Yeah? It is.

Speaker 8 (51:53):
I think Canada would be much better of being a
fifty first state because we lose two hundred billion dollars
a year.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
With Canada, and I'm not going to let that happen
too much.

Speaker 8 (52:02):
Why are we paying two hundred billion dollars a year
essentially in subsidy to Canada. Now, if they're a fifty
first state, I don't mind doing it.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Now. It's an interesting idea. I think there's a degree
of trolling here. I do not think Canada is going
to become the fifty first state, Okay, I don't see
that happening. However, by putting it in this context, I
think it allows him to frame the issue of Canada
with tariffs and with the finances and the interdependency of

(52:34):
our two countries in the conversation in a way they
wouldn't otherwise be like, I don't think it's that easy
to get people talking about or caring about the US
Canada relationship. But you say Canada might be the fifty
first state and everyone and all of a sudden it'say, huh,
what's going on with that? And then when you want
to talk tariffs, you've at least got their attention. That's
my sense of it. But what do you think.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
I don't know how much Trump has really moved beyond
the fifty first.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
State idea of it. I think it ties.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
In with Greenland, with Panama. This is just a real
estate guy, and he wants more real estate. No real
estate developer, by and large is ever like, you know what,
I've got all of the real estate I would ever.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Like, they always want more.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
I think it's reflective of Trump's expansionist ambitions for the
United States in general, having said that the idea of
Canada as one state is actually awful to me, Like,
let's play this out. Two Democrat senators that are going
to be elected. If Canada had been able to vote
in this presidential election, Trump may well not have won

(53:41):
the presidency itself, right, Because you're talking about if Canada
came in, you would get what fifty additional electoral votes.
I don't know what the exact number is for California,
but it would be in the neighborhood of California. Right
The population of Canada and California is somewhat similar. I
don't know that anybody set him down and said, you
certainly wouldn't have won the overall popular vote, and you

(54:04):
actually would have lost the election because Canadians have no
great affinity for Donald Trump. So if we were to
bring in Canada, I think it would have to be
in a context where one part of Canada is allowed in,
and then you also set it up so that they're
a rural conservative portions of Canada so the overall balance

(54:25):
of power doesn't shift enormously. Let me just tell you this, buck,
If Canada had two senators right now, do you feel
confident that Mitch McConnell would be the fifty third vote
for Republicans to be able to pass Trump's agenda?

Speaker 1 (54:39):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Do you feel comfortable in Lisa Murkowski and Alaska or
Susan Collins. In other words, if Democrats had two two
more Senate seats, the entire Trump agenda would be out
the window and we wouldn't have the house. So I
don't know that Trump has really played this out long
term in in essence what it would mean historically. I

(55:04):
think I tend to agree with you that it's a
little bit of trolling and uh, a little bit of manipulation.
Trump has a tendency buck to throw out a crazy idea.
Gaza is one in an effort to discombobulate the ongoing conversation,
because suddenly you're like, we're not going to do X,
and then why suddenly looks reasonable? And I think it's

(55:27):
a quite clear negotiation strategy on his behalf.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Yes, I mean, I think you can call this a
modern Bailey argument, right where somebody they they kind of
can push out and then they'll retreat to the to
something else that's made reasonable by comparison. That's kind of
one way, one way of describing it. I don't think
Canada's going to become the fifty first state. I think
that the chances of that are, you know, Canada doesn't

(55:51):
want it. They're not voting to become fifty first, and
we're not going to We're not going to invade Canada.
We love our Canadian brothers and sisters very much. They
are kind of America junior, and we you know, we
get along very well, so that that's not going to happen.
But I think that he's talking about this because he
wants to reevaluate some of the trade and other relationships
between the two countries. I think he'd like a little

(56:13):
more gratitude in the attitude from Canada, which is a
whole other thing. Whether that will happen or not is
up in the air. But on the issue of Gaza,
for example, this is where Trump, I think has he's
something of a savant in the way that he talks
about things, because we're all look at this to go,
oh my gosh, that's crazy. America can't say Gaza. But hey,

(56:33):
is the plan to just let it be this like
this rubble pile that Hamas is in control of, and
then over the years, we're going to have kind of
in fits and starts, some golf money come in, and
Hamas is gonna enrich themselves and build you know, the
bare minimum they need for human habitation, and then fight

(56:54):
another war against Israel. Because that's a horrible plan. You know,
if the plan is going to be it's this place
into like you know, Beirut in the eighties, which maybe
it's a lot worse than that, but you know, it's
kind of similar. That's a horrible idea. You know, there's
a nine year civil war I think in Lebanon at
that time, and it just went on and on and on.
So it's interesting, isn't it, Clay Because they say what

(57:17):
Trump wants is a bad idea, But the people that
say that also have no idea other than a horrible idea,
which is to allow it to be what it has
been and has become. I think really the question for Gaza,
and based on the way they respond every time in
Israeli hostage gets released, I think it's unfortunately the case.

(57:38):
We know the answer, but really the people of Gaza
have to decide that they want to embrace aspiration and
better lives for their kids and grandkids over killing Jewish people.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
And right now, I'm gonna be honest with you, based
on everything that I from Gaza, it seems like killing
Jewish people matters more than a higher quality.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Of life in Gaza.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
I can tell you right now, in Israel, Jewish people
would be happy to put down their weapons and just
go about living their day to day existence. The minute
they put down their weapons, their country would cease to exist.
If Hamas put down its weapons, there would be peace
in the Middle East. So to me, this is why

(58:28):
these both sides is arguments don't really play out.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
Is the Jewish people, to me, want peace and.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Prosperity, and they want their kids to have better lives
than they do. That's basically what American ideals are. That's
how most rational people behave. It seems to me like
the people of Gaza would rather kill Jews and have
awful lives for their kids and grandkids, as long as
that's crue Certainly the people running Gaza, certainly the people

(58:55):
that are calling the shots in charge, have the money,
have the weapons.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Yeah, they do want They'd rather have other people killed
than a miserated.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
And maybe it's not a representative sample, but every time
I see some Jewish hostage paraded through the streets of Gaza,
it certainly seems like everybody is out celebrating in the streets.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
Maybe there's a.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
Very quiet number of people in Gaza who do want
there to be a better life for their kids and
grandkids and don't particularly care about killing Jews.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
But it seems like to me the people of.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Gaza, with the choices that they make, are telling you
that they would rather live in poverty and kill Jews
than have some form of economic success and live in peace.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Well, this is why Trump talking about making it the
new Riviera, or however it is he's raising it, people
shoot that idea down and say that he's insane. Meanwhile,
what they think should be supported some version of the
status quo is actually more insane in a lot of ways,
because we've seen what happens. This has been a twenty
year long project of Gaza is in a miserate, miserable hellhole,

(01:00:01):
used to wage war against the Jewish people in Israel.
And that's not going to change. And so what are
we supposed to do now? Slowly allow the Gulf States
and the UN or whatever to come in and rebuild
Hamas refugee you know, rebuild Gaza. Hamas is going to
run a bunch of refugee camps, keep the Palestinian people
in this you know, deplorable condition, so that the moment

(01:00:25):
they get enough rockets and missiles they can launch another war.
I mean, that's that's a worse idea is my point.
So as much as everybody goes after Trump and says,
how could he have such a say something so crazy?
What has been happening is crazy, and I think Trump
explores and explains that by talking about things that are
outside of the Overton window. No doubt, we'll take some
