Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition I'll be Klay, Travis and Buck
Sexton show kicks off now a man Clay taking a
day to go speak to the youth at a university.
He'll be back with us tomorrow. I'm riding solo today.
I have the con here in CNB world and we're
(00:20):
going to dive into it. So much going on thanks
to Trump to doze the overall headline. I think we
aren't even close to being tired of winning, but there's
a lot of winning going on. The Democrats, the left,
they are running scared right now in so many ways.
Some hashtag resistance judges doing what they can to gum
(00:43):
up the works, but they're not going to be able
to stop the steamroller from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue all alone.
This is going to continue on. We've got more on
what Trump is doing and also the way the public
is viewing it, which these two things going to get
there are what is terrifying the Democrats, I think so much.
(01:05):
You've got more on immigration enforcement going on, very troubling
indications that there may have been It seems that there
were leaks about coming ice raids targeting a violent Venezuelan gang,
which has a lot of illegals. I'll explain that story
(01:28):
later on more on Doge. Looking at the different absurd contracts,
you know, the puppet shows in ulan Bator and all
the other stuff that they've been funding. I think it's
the capital of Mongolia for those who are curious. And
Eric Adams has had it looks to see it looks
(01:49):
to be that his charges are are going to get
dropped by the Trump DJ which we can discuss that
as well. I think there's a lot that is going
on here, but let me start with this. They were
not expecting anything that we see happening right now. The
Democrats are caught quite flat footed with all of this,
(02:10):
despite the fact that Trump is doing what he said
he would do. Trump is following through on explicit promises
made repeatedly throughout his campaign. Things that he said would
get done right away are getting done right away. The
partnership with the brilliant Elon Musk and Doge is already
(02:34):
bearing fruit. Anyone who believes that government waste and government
accountability matter should be rooting for Doge. So why are
so many Democrats upset? Calling it a constitutional crisis? Some
even saying we should throw Doge people in jail. It's
(02:55):
because they can't win on the merits. If the American
peace people were to know what the argument is that
the Democrats really have here, which is they have created
a system that allows them to have power and funding
and to have effectively a shadow government through the fourth branch,
(03:16):
the unelected branch, the bureaucracy. If Democrats just came out
and said that, if they explained to the American people, hey,
you know how over the last seventy years, we completely
took over the university system in this country, filled it
with radical kami wackos, and now you can't find anybody
(03:38):
who has an evensane, never mind conservative point of view
in a vast majority of campus political science and English
and humanities departments and everything. They've done that with the
federal government too, At the federal bureaucracy, it has become
a fiefdom of the left. It has become a source
of votes and power and funding. Right. You see, they
(04:01):
get the funding from you, the taxpayer, and then they
donate money back to the political party, the Democrats that
make sure. This is the self licking ice cream cone
that I keep telling you about this is what is happening,
and that's why they're so upset. But they have to
find process concerns. They have to find Oh, but this
(04:22):
is a constitutional crisis. In what way? It's a constitutional
crisis for President Trump to say that USAID employees should
return to the country. It's a constitutional crisis for the
head of the executive branch to be able to run
the executive branch. Who's really in charge here? Take a
(04:42):
step back, who's really in charge of the Treasury Department?
Pretty big deal, pretty important place. If federal judges appointed
by Democrat presidents can take it upon themselves to say,
the Treasury secretary, you heard that right, The Treasury Secretary
(05:03):
does not have full access to everything that is going
on in the Treasury Department that he's supposed to be overseeing.
Who really runs the country? Who really runs the government?
I told you this from the start, from back in
the campaign, back when I had tremendous confidence Trump would win.
There are going to be two critical battles that will
(05:23):
determine the success or failure of Trump two point zero
Immigration enforcement, the legal aliens, the invasion the border, and
this the deep state, the swamp, the fight against the system,
the bureaucracy inside of DC, because if you don't win
these the next election doesn't really matter that much, does it.
(05:47):
If they're flooding the country with the legals and changing
the demographics and changing the electorate of America, basically diluting
Americans with non Americans who break the law, with foreigners
who have broken the law, foreign nationals, illegal aliens. And
then you have a bureaucracy that keeps the funding in place,
keeps the bloated jobs programs that are all of these
(06:11):
different federal agencies have that get to make and regulate
laws effectively all throughout our lives. What's the point of
the election? Who really runs the country? Because if it's
going to be some system that doesn't have to even
care what the actual president says and believes about what
(06:32):
they're doing, why are we wasting our time? We're in
a remarkable world now, aren't we think about it? It
has become essentially constitutionally normalized that a president of the
United States can launch a military action without Congress. I
think of how many times this has happened. When was
(06:52):
the last time Congress actually declared war World War two?
When was the last time there was actually a situation
where the Congress said, yes, we are in a state
of war. And think of how many wars we've actually
been in. So that has been entirely normalized. Meanwhile, so
we're told that's constitutional. A president can start a war
(07:16):
without Congress. But a president can't tell members of USAID
that they have to come home from abroad, shut down
DEI offices within the bureaucracy, tell people that they can
have buyouts if they want to leave federal service. Right,
think about that. You can start a war, mister president,
(07:36):
but you can't reign in the bureaucracy. Something is wrong here.
You want to talk about constitutional crisis. Something has really
gone awry, and that is what Trump is trying to address,
and that is what is happening right now. But here's
the part of it that Here is the part of
(07:57):
it that they did not anticipate. Not only Trump coming
out of the gate here full force, doing everything that
he can, here's the other part of it. The American
people are with him on this. They are seeing what
is going on. It's not just whether Trump is winning
(08:18):
each of these individual battles. That's not the only part
of this that matters. Although it's important. It's also exposing
what is going on and exposing the other sides treachery,
showing you what the Democrat Party is really all about.
The forever government, the unaccountable government. You better pay every
(08:42):
dollar in taxes that the IRS says they know you, oh,
but they won't tell you until you mess up. Meanwhile,
the government can spend whatever it wants, and the bureaucrats
can do whatever they want, and they're protected by civil
service protections. They're protected by some make believe constitutional right
to have the most bloated, ineffectual federal bureaucracy in the
history of the planet. Somehow that is the America that
(09:06):
you're supposed to live in. But here's the problem that
they have. As I said, Trump is taking the actions,
his team and Elon are making these moves, and the
American people are seeing it and are with them. Support
for immigration enforcement has never been higher than it is
(09:26):
right now, since they've been doing these kinds of polls.
Support for a limiting waste, fraud and abuse. Elon Musk
is thinking he's going to find hundreds of billions of
dollars that's either being lit on fire in essence or
more to the point given to people who have no
right to it, shouldn't get it, and maybe are criminals
for taking it. How could anyone be opposed to that?
(09:48):
Why would they say that the Treasury Department shouldn't give
access to the Treasury Secretary and other duly appointed personnel
by the President of the United States himself. This is
the fight. This is what's so important. We have flipped
over the log in DC. Trump has kicked over the woody,
(10:09):
the wooded stump, and there's just grubs and things crawling
all over the place. This swamp personified. They don't like this,
but they don't have a way to stop it. Really.
They've got some judges, they've got some crying on TV.
But the American people are seeing it, and that is
(10:30):
as much a part of the change as the actual
executive orders themselves. This is CNN's data guru. This has
cut three about the enormous surge in popularity across the board.
Nobody can deny this. All the polling shows it that
Donald Trump is having right. Now play three.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You go back to twenty seventeen, Trump was already underwater
at minus five points from anot approval rating. That's approval
minus systo, what a difference eight years makes. He's on
the positive side of the Ledger at plus four points.
And again, it's not just the CBS News, Paul, We're
talking about the Gallup pole, We're talking about the IPSOS poll,
we are talking about the pepole. All of these respective
pollsters have Trump in a better position now than they
(11:08):
did eight years ago. Entire first term, just eleven days,
just eleven days, Donald Trump had a net positive approval rating.
Compare that to the second term. Just so far, just
so far, every single day of Trump's second term, so far,
he has been on the positive side of the ledger
twenty one days, all three weeks. That's already ten more
(11:29):
days than he was in his entire first term.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Trump is winning and they know it, and we know it.
You and I know it. This is what you are feeling,
this is what you are observing happening in the country
right now. Doing the things that needed to be done
that others in the Republican Party were scared to do
or refuse to do. And the American people are seeing
(11:57):
the truth. And this is just the beginning. The left
is going to get more desperate. They're going to get nastier.
They're going to lie, cheat, and steel. That's what they
always do, That's who they are. But if Trump and
the team and Elon keep the pressure on, we can
have a transformational presidency here, to restore the sovereignty of
(12:19):
the American people, to restore the accountability of the federal government,
to make the dollar something that we don't all assume
at some point is just going to collapse into nothing.
This can be done, and it is being done right now,
and it is critical that all of us watch this
with open eyes and supported and that Trump and the
(12:40):
Republicans keep the pressure on. Since two thousand and one,
the Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been looking after the
families of our first responders and those defending our freedoms.
Thomas Kennedy is one of those individuals. After joining the
US Army, Thomas Kennedy served two tours of duty in
Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Iaron does of awards and
(13:00):
service medals throughout his honorable career. While he was deployed
in eastern Afghanistan, this soldier's life was tragically cut short.
Thomas was killed by a Taliban suicide bomber. He left
behind his wife, Cammy and their beautiful twins, Maggie and Brody,
who were just week shy of their second birthday when
they lost their father. Because of friends like you, Cammy
and her children did not face their loss alone. Tunalta
(13:21):
Towers provided their family with a mortgage free home. You
and other caring friends helped Tunnel the Towers to step
in and offer a ray of hope to Cammy, Maggie
and Brody. Families like the Kennedys, who have sacrificed, sacrificed
so much for us in our nation need your help
now more than ever. Donate eleven dollars a month the

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Welcome back in So we're talking about running up the scoreboard,
fantastic and amazing first month in office and Democrats getting
very upset about it. But as usual they end up
complaining about process. They rely on far left activist judges
(14:16):
to just slow things down. These judges, these orders. There
are these temporary restraining orders and injunctions and anything that
makes its way up to the Supreme Court about the stuff.
They're going to lose, and they know they're going to lose,
and in doing what they're doing. In doing what these
judges are doing, they are doing violence to the rule
of law and the constitution to work of what kind
(14:40):
of rule, what kind of system we actually have, Because
if a judge is going to do something knowing it's
going to be overturned and knowing he's out of or
she is out of their lane, then they're showing themselves
to be well, not impartial, and to be part as
an activists. That's what's going on right now. This is
(15:01):
not going to be a close call on some of
this stuff. With some of what these judges are doing,
I mean, there's absolutely if we live in a country
where the presidents congressionally approved, where you know, Senate confirmed
Treasury secretary can't get access to the treasury payment system,
then we don't actually live in a republic. We have
(15:22):
some other system. We live in a kleptocracy. Apparently that's
what Elon's finding out, a system of stealing. And that's
not surprising you think about some of the Democrats who've
been in charge in recent years. You know, what you're
seeing here is a federal government that has the ethics
of Hunter Biden. You know, that's what you're seeing. And
(15:44):
it shouldn't be surprising at all, given that we've just
had four years of Joe Biden pretending to run the
country while he was just you know, puttering around as
a vegetable with a bunch of woke idiot advisors making
all the real decisions. But they are having a tough
time right now because the things that Trump is doing.
These aren't you know, like hyper partisan ideological issues. Do
(16:04):
you want borders or not? Do you want criminal illegals
to be sent back to their home country? Do you
want them to keep murdering, raping, robbing the things that
they're doing in this country? These are you know, eighty
twenty issues, maybe seventy thirty, depending on which one we're
talking about. Government waste fraud interviews. Find me the person
who says, I think hundreds of billions of dollars of
(16:27):
taxpayer money every year being either illegally or just improperly
given to people. When I say illegally, the people that
are defrauding the government are committing crimes. You know this
is once they start looking into Medicare and Medicaid, your
mind's going to be blown. And this they're trying to
stop Elan from doing that. They're just trying to do
(16:47):
anything they can, and they're trying to discredit him in
the Doge team. It's not working. Mark Halpern is a
former Democrat. He goes on Newsmax a lot now actually
has a he He was one of the only guys
telling the truth about how Kamala was about to get
completely crushed. You called let me get to the audio
in the biggest moment of a Kamala enthusiasm surge. It
(17:10):
was in August. In fact, I remember this, and Ever says, oh, no,
Kamala is going to be Trump. I said, not only
is Kamala going to lose, but Trump is going to
win by more against Kama than he did against Hillary.
And that was correct. But Mark Halpern was also out
there as a voice the whole time saying, look, Kamala
is a joke and this is going to the Democrats
(17:31):
are heading for a world are hurt. So he will
speak the truth about these things. This is been a fascinating. Now,
it's if you're a Democrat or even a former Democrat,
who will speak the truth about where the country is
on these issues, that's a brand identify er. It's like, Oh,
that guy actually doesn't lie all the time. Here he
is saying, the Democrats are shockingly ineffective. Right now, play four.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I'm paid to not be baffled or speechless. That's been
by job. I'm baffled and somewhat speechless. I've been thinking
in the last couple of days, is there anything in
my career as a journalist that I've covered that I'd
compared to this? And the answer is no, that Democrats
are nowhere on the field. The press is nowhere on
the field, the liberal interest groups are nowhere on the field.
(18:17):
And the reasons for their being so ill prepared, I
think will be studied eventually. But the reality of it
now is he is just They've never seen anything like
not just the activity, but the inability of his opponents
to forget stopping him. There barely, with a few exceptions,
even slowing him down.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Here's what I think. I completely agree with that analysis.
They're barely even slowing Trump down. It's a beautiful thing.
You'll love to see it. But how did we get
to this point? What has changed? Why is it that
Democrats are in this moment? Remember I've been saying this,
Klay's been saying this, We've been talking about it ever
since Trump came into office. Democrats are just they're just gone.
(19:01):
We don't know where they are, right, I mean they
have been, they don't even have They're not even making
a compelling case against any of this stuff, never mind
really shutting it down. You know, they tried to get
the guy that is known as Big Balls fired and
then Elon brought him back. I mean, the old tricks
don't work. The moral blackmail from Democrats doesn't work. The
(19:24):
allegations of racism or fascism or whatever. Everybody on the
right now knows that's just all trash, It's all garbage.
They don't approach any of this in good faith. The
other side will do and say absolutely anything because they
have emotional, deep emotional attachments to these ideas, and a
lot of them are just really bad ideas that hurt everybody.
(19:47):
You know, you'd have to say. Democrats may argue that
they're not pro crime, and yet all of their policies
result in more crime and more suffering and more violence.
So aren't they kind of pro crime? And they may
argue with you if you said democrats are pro government fraud.
But everything they do and every step they take, and
(20:07):
every position they hold means there's more fraud than there
would otherwise be right, same thing with ilegal immigration and
so on and so forth. They would argue that they're not
in favor of these things, but they always make it worse,
and they always make more of it. And the data
is very clear and history is very clear, and they
don't care. They're emotionally attached to these things. These are
(20:28):
emotional ideas for them. It's not rooted in reality. It's
about feelings. How do they feel about this stuff? And
that's why right now they don't even really go through
the motions of trying to make a case against what
is happening with the government spending so much of your
money because people a majority, remember the twenty percent is
(20:50):
going to sound a little bit like mint Romney right
back in the day, what was it, the basket of
deplorables or whatever? No, well that was Hillary. He said,
like forty percent of the country, you're never going to
that's actually why too high. But twenty percent of the
country are they watch well they I mean a lot
less than that watches MSNBC, but they're You put them
in the bucket of true believers for MSNBC and NPR
(21:12):
and New York Times and men can be women and
all twenty percent of the country is really on board.
You're never going to convince them of anything. They're going
to go out that they You can't have a conversation
with them. They still double mask outside because they're afraid
of you know, COVID type fifteen or something coming for them.
So you forget about them. The best we can do is,
(21:34):
you know, you look at a lot of a lot
of countries have some political party that represents a bunch
of fringe weirdos. That twenty percent they're Democrats, and they
have a lot of power in the Democrat Party, but
they're fringe weirdos. I mean they they're emotionally unstable, they're
psychologically they've got problems, a lot of mental illness among
that twenty percent, undiagnosed, untreated mental illness that they then
really focus in on their politics with right, so one
(21:57):
feeds into the other. Climate change, we're all Gonnah, you
don't have kids because a climate change. That's an anxiety disorder.
And to really believe that, I mean, you need to
talk to a shrink. I can't somebody who thinks they
shouldn't have children. And as you know, this is a
widespread Democrat position. Maybe it's a twenty percent, but that's
twenty percent of three hundred million people. Is a lot
of people. Three hundred and fifty million. But you're thinking
(22:19):
that the world's going to end because the climate change.
I mean, that's you have a psychological problem. You actually
don't have a political problem. And that's the truth of
like I said, a fifth of the Democrat party. So
we can't convince them, we can't change their minds. But
what Trump is doing is getting up to fifty five percent,
sixty percent, maybe sixty five percent of the American people
(22:41):
overall who are saying, yeah, keep going, keep doing this,
We see this. Yeah, Republicans are all with him, and
we're just it's it's hard to even take the time
to celebrate any of these wins because there are so
many and they're coming so fast, and it is also
changing the conversation in important ways. And I know that
can sound a little you know, ephemeral, right, a change
(23:04):
in the conversation. No, no, no, it's it's opening up
our eyes to what has been done and then giving
us a sense of what could be done better going forward,
to what should be what must be done better going forward.
And this is where so much of the work that
DOGE is doing comes into effect, because people are seeing this,
(23:25):
and there's going to be a whole lot more. They
are just beginning. You know, Usually anytime government's going to
try to you know, if you're talking about government rating
itself in, or it's going to be some kind of
a commission, and they'll have a meeting about how in
six months, they'll have another meeting, and then in two
years they'll put out a report nobody's going to read
and that's that's DC and they want it to stay
(23:47):
that way. They don't want that to change. And so
when someone comes along who has the capability to change
that and is doing so, it reallyatt the cages. It
upsets the system. You know. Trump is just looking them
(24:07):
right in the eyes and pouring orange gatorade into their
corn flakes, you know what I mean. I mean, he's
just saying, hey, I'm in charge. Here. So it's been
a remarkable few weeks and we're just getting the starts
at the start of it. But there's something else that
is emerging here, and it is an ugly side that
(24:29):
we have always known is there, but an ugly side
not just of the Democrat apparatus, but from within the
law enforcement community. This we're going to spend some time
talking about what's going on with the FBI. What the
current I don't know if we have to call them allegations.
It's coming from top people in the executive branch that
(24:53):
there are FBI agents who would subvert raids against dangerous
gang members because they think that they have some some
god given right to undermine federal policy because they work
at the FBI. The FBI assigned thousands and thousands of
agents and various you know, admin personnel analysts to look
(25:16):
at January six cases. And I could already tell you
I've had conversation with friends of mine. You know, I
know a lot of people, particularly former law enforcement people.
I have friends from the I worked at the NYPD
for a short while, but you know I spent time there,
and no people from there that trying to get the
FBI to focus on real stuff is somehow impossible. You go,
(25:36):
you talk to the FBI, say, hey, I think this
really bad thing, this very clearly illegal thing is happening.
You know that I heard about or in my community
or whatever, you know, can you do something about it?
You know, I think there's major cartel activity in my neighborhood.
Can you do something about it. I think someone's running
a Ponzi scheme, ripping off you know, people from their
life savings, tens of millions of dollars. Can you do
(25:58):
something about it? And an FBI, like, I don't know,
take it to somebody else. We're busy with January sixth.
Got to make sure we lock up all those middle
aged ladies with fanny packs who walked into Statuary Hall.
Gotta make sure we get them pre dawn raid, long
guns drawn. What the heck is going on over there? Now?
(26:20):
We need to get cash in place. And you see,
this is the this is a part of it too.
We don't even have the full teen. This isn't even
full steam. We haven't even gotten Tulsi Cash and RFC
Junior through. And look what's being done so far, and
look at how how much they're put on the defensive
and we haven't even put all of our troops on
the battlefield, so to speak. So they have good reason
(26:43):
for concern because this time it is different. We'll get
into more of this here. I want to take some
of your calls as well. Eight hundred and two A
two two eight A two. You heard me talk about

Cheap up with the biggest political comeback in world history.
On the Team forty seven podcast, Plain Book Highlight Trump
Free Place from the week Sundays at noon Eastern. Find
it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
We have something to dive into on the law enforcement side.
They see there are places where you might expect subversion
of the Trump agenda to come from. You would think
that there are these deep state elements at places like USAI,
(29:32):
D or whatever is left of it who are going
to do everything that they can to thwart the will
of the Trump agenda, and they're gonna do everything they
can to slow it down. They'll they'll even the leak,
they will quiet quit, they will do all of the
(29:53):
tricks of sabotage at their disposal will be deployed, and
you will see that happening throughout the administration. But if
there's one place where you'd like to think other than
the military, and I'll talk about some military stuff that's
going on here as well. Good things going on in
the military thanks to my old buddy Pete Hegseth, now
(30:14):
Secretary I got I mean Secretary Hegseath. I've known him
as Pete for fifteen years, but now it's Secretary of
Defense Heseth doing some really good stuff. But you would think,
or you would maybe hope is a better word than think.
You would hope that from within the law enforcement community
there would not be any actions taken that would undermine
(30:37):
the mission and in danger fellow law enforcement officers because
of politics, because of Trump derangement syndrome, because somebody in
the law enforcement chain of command thinks he or she
knows better than the commander in chief, knows better than
the head of DHS, the head of the head of
(31:01):
perhaps the FBI itself, about what should be done and
what laws should be enforced. This was I mean, maybe
stunning is it's appalling. That's a better word. Stunning implies
shock and surprise. I don't know how many of you
are shocked at all about anything the FBI could do
these days. Remember the FBI, which was run by James
(31:23):
comy who sank to Comy as we have called him
for a long time, who is among the most oleaginous,
grotesquely sanctimonious people you've ever seen in your entire life.
You look at his long career, it's all about him
and how great he is for the rule of law.
He's terrible. Okay, He's never been a real Austin, never
(31:45):
did any cop stuff. He was a lawyer. He's a
prosecutor lawyer who became heavy FBI. And what we see
with the FBI through the Russia collusion hoax and is
that there are people who will break their oath and
break the law to hurt Donald Trump and the people
(32:06):
around him. This, though, is pretty pretty horrendous, even knowing
all that, right, That's what I mean, even if you
are dialed in as I think we are and have been,
to how much subversion and treachery has come from the CIA,
the FBI in these places as it pertains to you know,
(32:27):
it's about Trump the individual. Sure they hate them, but
it's also just the whole agenda. It's the It is
Trump as a challenge to the idea that has been
elevated and now festered in these agencies. In these institutions
that they the permanent government, are really what keeps this
(32:48):
place together, and they get to make the decisions. And
elections are really more for show. Elections, certainly when a
Republican wins and when the Democrats have and cheated, you know,
cheated them out of the win. Elections are for keeping
the peasants quiet enough that they don't go grab the
pitchforks and torches and get too upset. It's the governing
(33:13):
bureaucracy that really holds it all together. This is a
huge problem in ancient Rome. By the way, you could read.
There's a lot of books on this stuff. Adrian Goldsworthy
has a good book, How Rome Fell, Wasn't it? The
dissolution of borders and the incredible growth and corruption of
a massive bureaucracy, and it's just those two things you've
(33:34):
just got systemic collapse. But Holman had to tell everybody
he spoke about this publicly on Fox that there was
an ice operation that was going to happen in Los
Angeles area, and someone in law enforcement tip the media
off to it, who then reported on it, which then
(33:55):
meant that they trend to Aragua Venezuela in gangster that
they were trying to round up new raid was coming.
I mean, think about this. So many of you work
in law enforcement, and I know so many of you
have done the critical job keeping the good people safe
and making sure the bad guys, you know, face justice. Right,
(34:18):
That's what law enforcement so keep keep the good people safe.
And when people are trying to pray on their fellow Americans,
pray on the fellow human beings, break the laws, you know, steal, murder, assault, kill,
all these different things that that you're there to stop
them and to get justice for one day, and I
know a lot of you have done that. Something has
(34:39):
gone really awry in the FBI, though, because could you
imagine if you were working in a let's say, a
county sheriff's office. You know, you're you're a sheriff's deputy,
and you're going to go do a high risk raid
on a known you know, a known felon cartel drug trafficker,
(35:02):
and somebody else in your office is like, you know,
I think that we should all drugs should be legal.
So I'm just going to go tell the media, and
the media will make sure that the drug trafficker. We're
going to go for gets the heads up, so we're
not going to get him or he's going to know
we're coming, which is even scarier, isn't it right. It's
one thing for them to run and hide. That's bad.
Some of these guys. They may decide to set up
(35:24):
an ambush. That's happened before. Tom Holman is having none
of this crap. Here's what he said. This has cut five.
Here's what he's said on Fox about this leak.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
We're thinking it's coming from inside, and we know the
first week of a ARAR is under current investigation. We
think we identify that person under investigation right now on
the California League second turned home. You know, she's correct.
Some of the information we're receiving tensive lead toward the FBI.
But I talked to the Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
(35:57):
They've opened up the criminal investigation, and they have promised
that not only this person will lose their job and
lose their pension, they won't go to jail, they won't
criminally prosecute.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
So we're all over it. Yeah, they're taking this as
seriously as they should. Imagine the mentality of that, Oh,
there's going to be a raid on a bunch of
illegals who are in trend to Aragua, which is that
horrible Venezuelan gang you know think of. It's just like
MS thirteen. It's the same thing. These gangs. They've ties
into the prison system, international drug smuggling, human trafficking, rape, murder, torture,
(36:31):
the worst of the worst. You know, they're lucky that
America is a nation of laws and we're kind people,
because you know, there was a time when these sorts
of individuals will just be taken out and hanged. Right,
the kind of people that will rape, murder, poison art
our communities and kids with drugs. You know, we're a
society of laws and rule of law place. So instead
(36:52):
we're going to capture them and prosecute them and then
deport them, right, that's what we're trying to do. Imagine
being somebody who works in who considers himself for herself
a law enforcement officer, and you're going to tip off
the gang members via the press as the cutout that
they're coming for you and specifically the area too. It's
(37:14):
not just like, oh, there's going to be more raids again.
We all know that they've announced that. No, this is
the equivalent of somebody in a time of war in
your own military, letting the battle plan be known before
you start moving divisions around, so the enemy can move first.
And so it should be taken incredibly seriously and anyone
(37:36):
involved that it should face the absolute fullest force of
the law. But it just shows you, doesn't it what
the mentality is? Who in the what kind of FBI
is it that has people that will tip off trend
of Aragua because they're so pro illegal alien, they're so
pro open borders. They think that they're a rule of
(37:58):
law agency. They think that they're there to enforce the
laws and to uphold the Constitution, except when it comes
to our borders, except when it comes to whether or
not you're actually an American. Then they pick and choose.
You know, an if you have ever dealt with the FBI,
you've ever been questioned by the FBI, interacted with them,
let me tell you the I think we can pick
(38:19):
and choose the laws here doesn't fly with them. You know.
Oh come on, guys, I know it's against a federal statue,
but it's not really a big deal. That's not the
approach you want to take with the FBI. And they
pride themselves on bringing the hammer down on a lot
of people for things that you go, well, I mean,
is that really a bad thing or is it just
(38:40):
a thing that the government kind of said as illegal
that maybe no one cares about. No, no, no, no no,
there's none of that right process crimes. You know, remember
look at what they did to Roger Stone, showed up
tactical gear, long guns, you know, flack vests on yeah
in case what Roger and his silk pajamas, you know,
reached for his smoking pipe for something like what were
(39:01):
they what was that all about? We know what it
was about. They were trying to humiliate somebody who is
a advisor to Trump and a patriot and doesn't want
to play their games. And so they went and then
they tried to lock them up in prison. We've all
seen this. I mean, think about this. We have now
a number of senior Trump advisors who are I think
they're all senior citizens. I don't know. I don't know
(39:22):
how old Steve Bannon is and that might be I
don't know if he's got sixty five. But it's a
patriot and a good man and a man of steel spine.
Bannon and Navarro. These guys have served time in prison.
We have people who have for frivolous nonsense. I mean,
well for deep state targeting. I mean we understand, but
(39:44):
the kind of crimes are supposed to go away for.
And now the people have come back, like Navarro has
come back into this administration. Uh, and they understand how
dirty the other side will play. And I'm just gonna
tell you, whether we're talking about the FBI or these
tag resistance judges, they have learned nothing so far. When
(40:07):
I say learned nothing, meaning they have not changed their tune.
They have not become more ethical, They have not seen
the light. They still think that they're the good guys
in all of this, you know. I mean, I assure
you if you were to sit down with Adam Schiff
and Liz Cheney and the people that are in the insurrection,
even though Trump won and the country is you know,
with each passing day just so so incredibly, I think
(40:31):
both pleased and relieved to see what Donald Trump is doing.
By solid majority. I know, like I said, the twenty
percent are insane. You know, I think that Trump can
get to mid sixties approval with some of this stuff.
I mean overall, I think he could probably get to
you know, sixty sixty five percent approval, and what he's doing,
depending on how it goes this though, shows you, I
(40:52):
think how rotted the system has become when the people
in the most important federal law enforcement agency, when they're
individuals who cannot be trusted to keep there, to be
professionals and to keep their word, to keep their oath,
and would put fellow federal law enforcement officers lives in
(41:14):
jeopardy because that is what they do when they release
where raids are coming for violent gang members. That shows
you that there needs to be an absolute house clee
and there are a lot of people who need to
be fired, and there's some people who need to go
to prison. And I do think that there is a
growing recognition that this Trump team also views it that way.
(41:38):
I think more people realize Tom Holman is serious about it,
and he's not the only one, and he's right. You know,
last week there was so much focus on the NFL.

Want to begin to know when you're on to go
the team forty seven podcasts highlights from the week Sundays
at noon Eastern in the klan Bug podcast feed, Fight
It on the iHeartRadio amp or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Trump just sat down with the King of Jordan, King
of Della, who is a strong US and Western ally
in a messy Middle East. They talked about a whole
range of issues. This comes with the backdrop of net
Yahoo saying there's going to be intense fighting once again
(43:31):
if the promised hostages that Hamas is still holding are
not released by this Saturday. So we're coming I remember
they've just been a ceasefire. They're coming up against the deadline.
Hamas said they would give over hostages and now they're
backtracking on that, and this could result in a serious
(43:53):
resumption of hostilities, kinetic action, killing a lot of Hamas guys,
the IDF go one after them and perhaps finishing the job.
So we want those hostages home. Hamas is doing what
Hamas always does, which is just it's an evil entity
and evil organization. They're breaking their word. They have no
(44:15):
honor and Trump and then Yahoo, I think are more
than sick of the nonsense that these Hamas negotiators are
are engaged in. But let's now get into the conversation
that Trump has opened up around Gaza and what's happening there.
So Trump spoke about his plan for Gaza and the
(44:39):
Hamas hostage deadline issue. When he just sat down with
the King of Jordan, who's the head of state in Jordan, Like,
he's not like a king, like the way, what's his name? Charles?
Isn't Charles the King of England? Now, like hello, let's
sit down and have some tea. You know, total waste,
(45:00):
total waste of space. Isn't he the king? Guys? This
is where I need Clay. He's much more into the
royal family. Yeah, he's the king. Weird, weird looking imbeciles,
the King of England anyway. But yes, I also thought
it was really funny. This is a total side note.
I don't know if you missed this, but someone brought
up the Trump whether he thought that Prince Harry should
(45:21):
be deported and he said he's got enough problems with
his wife. Wow. Trump nails it again. Trump nails it.
That's Trump when he's in the zone. Man, when he's
in the zone. Uh, there's nobody like him. There's nobody
like him. Enjoy him. You know, we've only got him
as president for four more years, so enjoy every day
(45:41):
we've got this guy. Anyway, Trump sat down with King
of Dullah. They talked about hamas they talked about Gaza.
This has cut thirty one. Listen in.
Speaker 6 (45:50):
We're not gonna buy anything. We're gonna have it, and
we're gonna keep it, and we're gonna make sure that
there's gonna be peace and there's not gonna be any problem,
and nobody's gonna question it and who we're going to
run it very properly, and eventually we'll have economic development
that are very large scale, maybe the larger scale on
that site, and we'll have lots of good things built there,
(46:10):
including hotels and office buildings and housing and other things,
and we'll make that site into what it should be.
And the people from Gaza who wouldn't be able to
be there for years, because you're talking about just to
get it and prepare it and to take care of
all of the problems that currently it has. As you know,
tunnels and people are in those tunnels, and you have
some good people and some bad people, and you may
(46:33):
have hostages right now. You know, you have the hostages
possibly there. They don't know where they are. And you know,
I have a Saturday deadline, and I don't think they're
going to make the deadline. Personally, I think they want
to play tough guy. But we'll see how tough they are.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
We'll see how tough they are. It's talking about Hamas.
There So two things thrown into this Trump answer. One
is it seems that President Trump is very serious about
taking over the reconstruction of Gaza in some capacity. I
don't know. Again, you know, you gotta let the man.
(47:10):
You gotta let the man do his thing. You gotta
let your horses run. You gotta let Trump do what
he's doing. So I'm not sure that he has even
put forward what that plan would be in specifics. But
as I was discussing with Clay here yesterday on the show,
whatever has been the policy for Gaza has been as
bad as the results have been, as bad as they
could possibly be. Twenty years Remember the Israelis gave Gaza.
(47:35):
This is an important little history reminder. Two thousand and five.
Israelis said, all right, and they pulled settlers out. I
mean they they and they turned over you know, greenhouses
and infrastructure, and they said, fine, Gaza is yours, Palestinians.
And look what happened. You had twenty years of rocket
(47:57):
and mortar attacks, suicide bombs, infiltration, you know, terrorist operations,
and then the mass casualty, mass murder, terror operation October seventh,
and uh, it's enough is enough? I mean, I've I
said this on Twitter. I know people get Oh, there's
so many people who know nothing about the Palestinians have
(48:19):
never have never been to the West Bank or the Gaza.
You know, I've been to the West Bank. I'm driven
all around dealt with Palestinians gone, and uh, you know,
sat in foreign policy focused meetings back in my academic
days with Palestinians who are complaining about this or that.
When you start a war and you lose a war,
you lose land. That's pretty common throughout history. It's really
(48:42):
the standard if you start a war against another nation state,
whatever you want to call it. Gaza, I mean, you know,
they have elections, it's territory that's controlled by one group
and one one you know, ethnicity. If you start a
war and you lose, you lose land. That has been
true throughout history. So there's that for what should happen
(49:06):
next to Gaza. I don't know why we have to
keep just you know, handing it back, handing it back
to somebody in terms of the leadership there who there's
no reason to believe they're not going to keep it.
They haven't repudiated. You know. This isn't like after World
War Two, when you know, the Nazis were hunted down
and the German people were turning the page. Same thing
(49:28):
with Japan, the Japanese Imperial Japan world War two. No,
that they Hamas is still very much supposed to be
the representatives in the leadership of Gaza. So I'm merely
saying the people who say that Trump is crazy have
no defense of how awful things have been for the
last twenty years, and they seem to think that what
should happen is the international community comes in and clears
(49:52):
the rubble, and its just pumps billions of unaccountable dollars
from their own people who are working for their dollars.
You know, it's basically just America in Europe. I mean,
there'll be some money from some of the Gulf shake
dums or whatever, and we're gonna like rebuild this so
that they can rebuild the tunnels and get more rockets
(50:13):
from Iran and you know, no, no, enough, No, that's
a terrible idea. So I understand that the ideas that
Trump is laying out on this and I, you know,
are not fully fleshed out or fully formed. I also
understand that people say, well, that's not America. First, Okay,
I don't know where the money is coming from. I
(50:33):
don't know who's actually doing this yet. And not having
Israel go through another war in the region. As an ally,
you know, there are there are benefits to a a
a peaceful Middle East as long as we don't have
US troops in harm's way and we're not writing some
huge check for the whole thing. So there are ways
to arrange this so that we're not the ones who
(50:54):
are I think carrying carrying the whole load. We'll see,
you know. And it's if you think Trump is wrong
on this, you're certainly entitled, even as an ardent Trump supporter,
to think that Trump may be off on this one.
So that's fine. Maybe it isn't America. First, Let's see
what he does, Let's see how it goes, and on
where should Gaza's people go? Right? Now this is cut thirty.
(51:14):
This was also from this sit down with the King
of Jordan, Play thirty.
Speaker 6 (51:19):
Well, it's not where I want them to live. It's
going to be where we ultimately choose as a group.
And I believe we'll have a parcel of land and Jordan.
I believe we'll have a parcel of land in Egypt.
We may have someplace else, but I think when we
finish our talks, will have a place where they're going
to live very happily and very safely.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
And you know, don't forget they only.
Speaker 6 (51:41):
Want to be on the Gaza Strip because they don't
know anything else. They never had an alternative, and they
don't want to be in the Gaza Strip, but they
have no choice. They have to be, and they're being
killed there at levels that nobody's ever seen. No place
in the world is like as as dangerous as the
Gaza Strip. They don't want to be there, they have
no alternative. When they have an alternative, not one person
(52:02):
will want to stay where they are. Nobody wants to
say that they're living in hell. It's it's a death trap.
Speaker 1 (52:09):
Isn't it fascinating that so many the people who are
leftist globalists, you know, you know, the mindset kind of
people that like hate everything that I say and that
you believe that they think that it is it is
incumbent upon America to take fake asylum seekers from all
over the world to the tune of millions, that we
(52:31):
have a moral obligation to do that. The left really
the kind of global the globalists, which is just the
global left. It's kind of the same thing. They think
that we have that obligation. But the Muslim world, and
specifically the Arab Muslim world, which shares religion and language
with the Palestinians, talking about blazers like Egypt, for example,
(52:54):
among other countries, they don't have an obligation to take
real refugees from a war war Jordan, I just should
just note I've been in the refugee camps in Jordan
from a Syrian war. So Jordan has is constantly trying
to help, and yeah, you know, take in people from
here or there. They take, they take. They've taken a
lot of Palestinian refugees in the past, they've taken a
(53:15):
lot of Syrian refugees. They've taken a rocky refugees. I
mean know, Jordan is like the uh safety valve in
the region or something. I mean, they're they're always trying
to provide some kind of a buffer. Uh. So it's
it's actually a very important little country and has a
good relationship with Israel next door. And so now when
Trump's talking about where the people of Gaza should go, yeah,
(53:39):
the the the you know, two billion people of the
Muslim world. It's time for somebody else to step up
here and go somewhere else. And this isn't I'm not
taking some oh you know, and this is because it's
I it's not even about whether Israel's in charge or
some you know, Gulf shake dums come together and create
some kind of a protector. I don't even really care.
(54:01):
I just know the idea that we're supposed to rebuild
this and let the same people take this over and
have the same leadership there is insane. That's insane after
what we've just gone through. Okay, it's been a huge war,
right and you know when we had the Like I said,
when you have the end of a major war and
one side loses and Hamas and the Gazans have lost,
(54:22):
things have to change. And so I think Trump is
far more in line with reality here than a lot
of the so called foreign policy consensus, which is just
a bunch of people who think they're smarter than they
are consistently wrong, but think the most important thing is
sounding like the other people that they think are smart.
It's a foreign policy echo chamber. Really, that's how you
get points in foreign policy lands. I think Trump is
(54:45):
onto something and he may be able to come up
with ways. Remember, look at the scoreboard here, Abraham Accords,
Trump administration, moving the embassy in Jerusalem to Jerusalem, Trump administration.
I mean things that, oh, that could never do kill
and side the Israeli issue for a second, killing the
head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Could's force Solomoni? Oh
(55:12):
we could never do that. Trump did it. What did
Ron say? You know, Ron cried about him. That's about it.
So there there is something here about Trump does the
things that everyone says, oh, you can't do that when
it comes to the Mid East, and he's right, and
he just keeps going. So you know, let them in,
Let the man do his thing. I want to hear
more of what he has in mind. And yeah, of
(55:33):
course he's a builder and he's Trump, and you know
he's thinking Trump, taj Mahal might go up on the
Mediterranean something that's just in his nature. But the basic
idea here, which is that something different has to happen
so that Israel doesn't have to go in there again
in ten years and clean out all the mos terrorists
and all the just the viciousness and the and the
(55:54):
murdering and the horribleness of all of this. Enough enough,
it is. It is time or something a different approach
to this little spit of land very far away that
a lot of us are kind of sick of hearing
about dealing with. You know, don't really want to have
to sit around and worry too much about what's going
on in Gaza, and nobody would if they would stop
(56:16):
firing missiles at people and trying to kill all of
the Jews. I mean, things would be really calm and
quiet in Gaza. Act, Gaza could be great if they
just stopped being such a bunch of Jew hating anti Semites,
and you know, that would really help, That would really
change things up. Let me speak to my fellow gun owners.

I have the con here in CNB world and we're
(00:20):
going to dive into it. So much going on thanks
to Trump to doze the overall headline. I think we
aren't even close to being tired of winning, but there's
a lot of winning going on. The Democrats, the left,
they are running scared right now in so many ways.
Some hashtag resistance judges doing what they can to gum
(00:43):
up the works, but they're not going to be able
to stop the steamroller from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue all alone.
This is going to continue on. We've got more on
what Trump is doing and also the way the public
is viewing it, which these two things going to get
there are what is terrifying the Democrats, I think so much.
(01:05):
You've got more on immigration enforcement going on, very troubling
indications that there may have been It seems that there
were leaks about coming ice raids targeting a violent Venezuelan gang,
which has a lot of illegals. I'll explain that story
(01:28):
later on more on Doge. Looking at the different absurd contracts,
you know, the puppet shows in ulan Bator and all
the other stuff that they've been funding. I think it's
the capital of Mongolia for those who are curious. And
Eric Adams has had it looks to see it looks
(01:49):
to be that his charges are are going to get
dropped by the Trump DJ which we can discuss that
as well. I think there's a lot that is going
on here, but let me start with this. They were
not expecting anything that we see happening right now. The
Democrats are caught quite flat footed with all of this,
(02:10):
despite the fact that Trump is doing what he said
he would do. Trump is following through on explicit promises
made repeatedly throughout his campaign. Things that he said would
get done right away are getting done right away. The
partnership with the brilliant Elon Musk and Doge is already
(02:34):
bearing fruit. Anyone who believes that government waste and government
accountability matter should be rooting for Doge. So why are
so many Democrats upset? Calling it a constitutional crisis? Some
even saying we should throw Doge people in jail. It's
(02:55):
because they can't win on the merits. If the American
peace people were to know what the argument is that
the Democrats really have here, which is they have created
a system that allows them to have power and funding
and to have effectively a shadow government through the fourth branch,
(03:16):
the unelected branch, the bureaucracy. If Democrats just came out
and said that, if they explained to the American people, hey,
you know how over the last seventy years, we completely
took over the university system in this country, filled it
with radical kami wackos, and now you can't find anybody
(03:38):
who has an evensane, never mind conservative point of view
in a vast majority of campus political science and English
and humanities departments and everything. They've done that with the
federal government too, At the federal bureaucracy, it has become
a fiefdom of the left. It has become a source
of votes and power and funding. Right. You see, they
(04:01):
get the funding from you, the taxpayer, and then they
donate money back to the political party, the Democrats that
make sure. This is the self licking ice cream cone
that I keep telling you about this is what is happening,
and that's why they're so upset. But they have to
find process concerns. They have to find Oh, but this
(04:22):
is a constitutional crisis. In what way? It's a constitutional
crisis for President Trump to say that USAID employees should
return to the country. It's a constitutional crisis for the
head of the executive branch to be able to run
the executive branch. Who's really in charge here? Take a
(04:42):
step back, who's really in charge of the Treasury Department?
Pretty big deal, pretty important place. If federal judges appointed
by Democrat presidents can take it upon themselves to say,
the Treasury secretary, you heard that right, The Treasury Secretary
(05:03):
does not have full access to everything that is going
on in the Treasury Department that he's supposed to be overseeing.
Who really runs the country? Who really runs the government?
I told you this from the start, from back in
the campaign, back when I had tremendous confidence Trump would win.
There are going to be two critical battles that will
(05:23):
determine the success or failure of Trump two point zero
Immigration enforcement, the legal aliens, the invasion the border, and
this the deep state, the swamp, the fight against the system,
the bureaucracy inside of DC, because if you don't win
these the next election doesn't really matter that much, does it.
(05:47):
If they're flooding the country with the legals and changing
the demographics and changing the electorate of America, basically diluting
Americans with non Americans who break the law, with foreigners
who have broken the law, foreign nationals, illegal aliens. And
then you have a bureaucracy that keeps the funding in place,
keeps the bloated jobs programs that are all of these
(06:11):
different federal agencies have that get to make and regulate
laws effectively all throughout our lives. What's the point of
the election? Who really runs the country? Because if it's
going to be some system that doesn't have to even
care what the actual president says and believes about what
(06:32):
they're doing, why are we wasting our time? We're in
a remarkable world now, aren't we think about it? It
has become essentially constitutionally normalized that a president of the
United States can launch a military action without Congress. I
think of how many times this has happened. When was
(06:52):
the last time Congress actually declared war World War two?
When was the last time there was actually a situation
where the Congress said, yes, we are in a state
of war. And think of how many wars we've actually
been in. So that has been entirely normalized. Meanwhile, so
we're told that's constitutional. A president can start a war
(07:16):
without Congress. But a president can't tell members of USAID
that they have to come home from abroad, shut down
DEI offices within the bureaucracy, tell people that they can
have buyouts if they want to leave federal service. Right,
think about that. You can start a war, mister president,
(07:36):
but you can't reign in the bureaucracy. Something is wrong here.
You want to talk about constitutional crisis. Something has really
gone awry, and that is what Trump is trying to address,
and that is what is happening right now. But here's
the part of it that Here is the part of
(07:57):
it that they did not anticipate. Not only Trump coming
out of the gate here full force, doing everything that
he can, here's the other part of it. The American
people are with him on this. They are seeing what
is going on. It's not just whether Trump is winning
(08:18):
each of these individual battles. That's not the only part
of this that matters. Although it's important. It's also exposing
what is going on and exposing the other sides treachery,
showing you what the Democrat Party is really all about.
The forever government, the unaccountable government. You better pay every
(08:42):
dollar in taxes that the IRS says they know you, oh,
but they won't tell you until you mess up. Meanwhile,
the government can spend whatever it wants, and the bureaucrats
can do whatever they want, and they're protected by civil
service protections. They're protected by some make believe constitutional right
to have the most bloated, ineffectual federal bureaucracy in the
history of the planet. Somehow that is the America that
(09:06):
you're supposed to live in. But here's the problem that
they have. As I said, Trump is taking the actions,
his team and Elon are making these moves, and the
American people are seeing it and are with them. Support
for immigration enforcement has never been higher than it is
(09:26):
right now, since they've been doing these kinds of polls.
Support for a limiting waste, fraud and abuse. Elon Musk
is thinking he's going to find hundreds of billions of
dollars that's either being lit on fire in essence or
more to the point given to people who have no
right to it, shouldn't get it, and maybe are criminals
for taking it. How could anyone be opposed to that?
(09:48):
Why would they say that the Treasury Department shouldn't give
access to the Treasury Secretary and other duly appointed personnel
by the President of the United States himself. This is
the fight. This is what's so important. We have flipped
over the log in DC. Trump has kicked over the woody,
(10:09):
the wooded stump, and there's just grubs and things crawling
all over the place. This swamp personified. They don't like this,
but they don't have a way to stop it. Really.
They've got some judges, they've got some crying on TV.
But the American people are seeing it, and that is
(10:30):
as much a part of the change as the actual
executive orders themselves. This is CNN's data guru. This has
cut three about the enormous surge in popularity across the board.
Nobody can deny this. All the polling shows it that
Donald Trump is having right. Now play three.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You go back to twenty seventeen, Trump was already underwater
at minus five points from anot approval rating. That's approval
minus systo, what a difference eight years makes. He's on
the positive side of the Ledger at plus four points.
And again, it's not just the CBS News, Paul, We're
talking about the Gallup pole, We're talking about the IPSOS poll,
we are talking about the pepole. All of these respective
pollsters have Trump in a better position now than they
(11:08):
did eight years ago. Entire first term, just eleven days,
just eleven days, Donald Trump had a net positive approval rating.
Compare that to the second term. Just so far, just
so far, every single day of Trump's second term, so far,
he has been on the positive side of the ledger
twenty one days, all three weeks. That's already ten more
(11:29):
days than he was in his entire first term.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Trump is winning and they know it, and we know it.
You and I know it. This is what you are feeling,
this is what you are observing happening in the country
right now. Doing the things that needed to be done
that others in the Republican Party were scared to do
or refuse to do. And the American people are seeing
(11:57):
the truth. And this is just the beginning. The left
is going to get more desperate. They're going to get nastier.
They're going to lie, cheat, and steel. That's what they
always do, That's who they are. But if Trump and
the team and Elon keep the pressure on, we can
have a transformational presidency here, to restore the sovereignty of
(12:19):
the American people, to restore the accountability of the federal government,
to make the dollar something that we don't all assume
at some point is just going to collapse into nothing.
This can be done, and it is being done right now,
and it is critical that all of us watch this
with open eyes and supported and that Trump and the
(12:40):
Republicans keep the pressure on. Since two thousand and one,
the Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been looking after the
families of our first responders and those defending our freedoms.
Thomas Kennedy is one of those individuals. After joining the
US Army, Thomas Kennedy served two tours of duty in
Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Iaron does of awards and
(13:00):
service medals throughout his honorable career. While he was deployed
in eastern Afghanistan, this soldier's life was tragically cut short.
Thomas was killed by a Taliban suicide bomber. He left
behind his wife, Cammy and their beautiful twins, Maggie and Brody,
who were just week shy of their second birthday when
they lost their father. Because of friends like you, Cammy
and her children did not face their loss alone. Tunalta
(13:21):
Towers provided their family with a mortgage free home. You
and other caring friends helped Tunnel the Towers to step
in and offer a ray of hope to Cammy, Maggie
and Brody. Families like the Kennedys, who have sacrificed, sacrificed
so much for us in our nation need your help
now more than ever. Donate eleven dollars a month the

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Welcome back in So we're talking about running up the scoreboard,
fantastic and amazing first month in office and Democrats getting
very upset about it. But as usual they end up
complaining about process. They rely on far left activist judges
(14:16):
to just slow things down. These judges, these orders. There
are these temporary restraining orders and injunctions and anything that
makes its way up to the Supreme Court about the stuff.
They're going to lose, and they know they're going to lose,
and in doing what they're doing. In doing what these
judges are doing, they are doing violence to the rule
of law and the constitution to work of what kind
(14:40):
of rule, what kind of system we actually have, Because
if a judge is going to do something knowing it's
going to be overturned and knowing he's out of or
she is out of their lane, then they're showing themselves
to be well, not impartial, and to be part as
an activists. That's what's going on right now. This is
(15:01):
not going to be a close call on some of
this stuff. With some of what these judges are doing,
I mean, there's absolutely if we live in a country
where the presidents congressionally approved, where you know, Senate confirmed
Treasury secretary can't get access to the treasury payment system,
then we don't actually live in a republic. We have
(15:22):
some other system. We live in a kleptocracy. Apparently that's
what Elon's finding out, a system of stealing. And that's
not surprising you think about some of the Democrats who've
been in charge in recent years. You know, what you're
seeing here is a federal government that has the ethics
of Hunter Biden. You know, that's what you're seeing. And
(15:44):
it shouldn't be surprising at all, given that we've just
had four years of Joe Biden pretending to run the
country while he was just you know, puttering around as
a vegetable with a bunch of woke idiot advisors making
all the real decisions. But they are having a tough
time right now because the things that Trump is doing.
These aren't you know, like hyper partisan ideological issues. Do
(16:04):
you want borders or not? Do you want criminal illegals
to be sent back to their home country? Do you
want them to keep murdering, raping, robbing the things that
they're doing in this country? These are you know, eighty
twenty issues, maybe seventy thirty, depending on which one we're
talking about. Government waste fraud interviews. Find me the person
who says, I think hundreds of billions of dollars of
(16:27):
taxpayer money every year being either illegally or just improperly
given to people. When I say illegally, the people that
are defrauding the government are committing crimes. You know this
is once they start looking into Medicare and Medicaid, your
mind's going to be blown. And this they're trying to
stop Elan from doing that. They're just trying to do
(16:47):
anything they can, and they're trying to discredit him in
the Doge team. It's not working. Mark Halpern is a
former Democrat. He goes on Newsmax a lot now actually
has a he He was one of the only guys
telling the truth about how Kamala was about to get
completely crushed. You called let me get to the audio
in the biggest moment of a Kamala enthusiasm surge. It
(17:10):
was in August. In fact, I remember this, and Ever says, oh, no,
Kamala is going to be Trump. I said, not only
is Kamala going to lose, but Trump is going to
win by more against Kama than he did against Hillary.
And that was correct. But Mark Halpern was also out
there as a voice the whole time saying, look, Kamala
is a joke and this is going to the Democrats
(17:31):
are heading for a world are hurt. So he will
speak the truth about these things. This is been a fascinating. Now,
it's if you're a Democrat or even a former Democrat,
who will speak the truth about where the country is
on these issues, that's a brand identify er. It's like, Oh,
that guy actually doesn't lie all the time. Here he
is saying, the Democrats are shockingly ineffective. Right now, play four.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I'm paid to not be baffled or speechless. That's been
by job. I'm baffled and somewhat speechless. I've been thinking
in the last couple of days, is there anything in
my career as a journalist that I've covered that I'd
compared to this? And the answer is no, that Democrats
are nowhere on the field. The press is nowhere on
the field, the liberal interest groups are nowhere on the field.
(18:17):
And the reasons for their being so ill prepared, I
think will be studied eventually. But the reality of it
now is he is just They've never seen anything like
not just the activity, but the inability of his opponents
to forget stopping him. There barely, with a few exceptions,
even slowing him down.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Here's what I think. I completely agree with that analysis.
They're barely even slowing Trump down. It's a beautiful thing.
You'll love to see it. But how did we get
to this point? What has changed? Why is it that
Democrats are in this moment? Remember I've been saying this,
Klay's been saying this, We've been talking about it ever
since Trump came into office. Democrats are just they're just gone.
(19:01):
We don't know where they are, right, I mean they
have been, they don't even have They're not even making
a compelling case against any of this stuff, never mind
really shutting it down. You know, they tried to get
the guy that is known as Big Balls fired and
then Elon brought him back. I mean, the old tricks
don't work. The moral blackmail from Democrats doesn't work. The
(19:24):
allegations of racism or fascism or whatever. Everybody on the
right now knows that's just all trash, It's all garbage.
They don't approach any of this in good faith. The
other side will do and say absolutely anything because they
have emotional, deep emotional attachments to these ideas, and a
lot of them are just really bad ideas that hurt everybody.
(19:47):
You know, you'd have to say. Democrats may argue that
they're not pro crime, and yet all of their policies
result in more crime and more suffering and more violence.
So aren't they kind of pro crime? And they may
argue with you if you said democrats are pro government fraud.
But everything they do and every step they take, and
(20:07):
every position they hold means there's more fraud than there
would otherwise be right, same thing with ilegal immigration and
so on and so forth. They would argue that they're not
in favor of these things, but they always make it worse,
and they always make more of it. And the data
is very clear and history is very clear, and they
don't care. They're emotionally attached to these things. These are
(20:28):
emotional ideas for them. It's not rooted in reality. It's
about feelings. How do they feel about this stuff? And
that's why right now they don't even really go through
the motions of trying to make a case against what
is happening with the government spending so much of your
money because people a majority, remember the twenty percent is
(20:50):
going to sound a little bit like mint Romney right
back in the day, what was it, the basket of
deplorables or whatever? No, well that was Hillary. He said,
like forty percent of the country, you're never going to
that's actually why too high. But twenty percent of the
country are they watch well they I mean a lot
less than that watches MSNBC, but they're You put them
in the bucket of true believers for MSNBC and NPR
(21:12):
and New York Times and men can be women and
all twenty percent of the country is really on board.
You're never going to convince them of anything. They're going
to go out that they You can't have a conversation
with them. They still double mask outside because they're afraid
of you know, COVID type fifteen or something coming for them.
So you forget about them. The best we can do is,
(21:34):
you know, you look at a lot of a lot
of countries have some political party that represents a bunch
of fringe weirdos. That twenty percent they're Democrats, and they
have a lot of power in the Democrat Party, but
they're fringe weirdos. I mean they they're emotionally unstable, they're
psychologically they've got problems, a lot of mental illness among
that twenty percent, undiagnosed, untreated mental illness that they then
really focus in on their politics with right, so one
(21:57):
feeds into the other. Climate change, we're all Gonnah, you
don't have kids because a climate change. That's an anxiety disorder.
And to really believe that, I mean, you need to
talk to a shrink. I can't somebody who thinks they
shouldn't have children. And as you know, this is a
widespread Democrat position. Maybe it's a twenty percent, but that's
twenty percent of three hundred million people. Is a lot
of people. Three hundred and fifty million. But you're thinking
(22:19):
that the world's going to end because the climate change.
I mean, that's you have a psychological problem. You actually
don't have a political problem. And that's the truth of
like I said, a fifth of the Democrat party. So
we can't convince them, we can't change their minds. But
what Trump is doing is getting up to fifty five percent,
sixty percent, maybe sixty five percent of the American people
(22:41):
overall who are saying, yeah, keep going, keep doing this,
We see this. Yeah, Republicans are all with him, and
we're just it's it's hard to even take the time
to celebrate any of these wins because there are so
many and they're coming so fast, and it is also
changing the conversation in important ways. And I know that
can sound a little you know, ephemeral, right, a change
(23:04):
in the conversation. No, no, no, it's it's opening up
our eyes to what has been done and then giving
us a sense of what could be done better going forward,
to what should be what must be done better going forward.
And this is where so much of the work that
DOGE is doing comes into effect, because people are seeing this,
(23:25):
and there's going to be a whole lot more. They
are just beginning. You know, Usually anytime government's going to
try to you know, if you're talking about government rating
itself in, or it's going to be some kind of
a commission, and they'll have a meeting about how in
six months, they'll have another meeting, and then in two
years they'll put out a report nobody's going to read
and that's that's DC and they want it to stay
(23:47):
that way. They don't want that to change. And so
when someone comes along who has the capability to change
that and is doing so, it reallyatt the cages. It
upsets the system. You know. Trump is just looking them
(24:07):
right in the eyes and pouring orange gatorade into their
corn flakes, you know what I mean. I mean, he's
just saying, hey, I'm in charge. Here. So it's been
a remarkable few weeks and we're just getting the starts
at the start of it. But there's something else that
is emerging here, and it is an ugly side that
(24:29):
we have always known is there, but an ugly side
not just of the Democrat apparatus, but from within the
law enforcement community. This we're going to spend some time
talking about what's going on with the FBI. What the
current I don't know if we have to call them allegations.
It's coming from top people in the executive branch that
(24:53):
there are FBI agents who would subvert raids against dangerous
gang members because they think that they have some some
god given right to undermine federal policy because they work
at the FBI. The FBI assigned thousands and thousands of
agents and various you know, admin personnel analysts to look
(25:16):
at January six cases. And I could already tell you
I've had conversation with friends of mine. You know, I
know a lot of people, particularly former law enforcement people.
I have friends from the I worked at the NYPD
for a short while, but you know I spent time there,
and no people from there that trying to get the
FBI to focus on real stuff is somehow impossible. You go,
(25:36):
you talk to the FBI, say, hey, I think this
really bad thing, this very clearly illegal thing is happening.
You know that I heard about or in my community
or whatever, you know, can you do something about it?
You know, I think there's major cartel activity in my neighborhood.
Can you do something about it. I think someone's running
a Ponzi scheme, ripping off you know, people from their
life savings, tens of millions of dollars. Can you do
(25:58):
something about it? And an FBI, like, I don't know,
take it to somebody else. We're busy with January sixth.
Got to make sure we lock up all those middle
aged ladies with fanny packs who walked into Statuary Hall.
Gotta make sure we get them pre dawn raid, long
guns drawn. What the heck is going on over there? Now?
(26:20):
We need to get cash in place. And you see,
this is the this is a part of it too.
We don't even have the full teen. This isn't even
full steam. We haven't even gotten Tulsi Cash and RFC
Junior through. And look what's being done so far, and
look at how how much they're put on the defensive
and we haven't even put all of our troops on
the battlefield, so to speak. So they have good reason
(26:43):
for concern because this time it is different. We'll get
into more of this here. I want to take some
of your calls as well. Eight hundred and two A
two two eight A two. You heard me talk about
it yesterday. I love red meat. It is my favorite food.
Is steak, Okay, my favorite thing to eat, my favorite protein.

(27:05):
meat I'm a meat and protein's guy, and carry knows
I'm in charge of the steak. I make an amazing
steak on my cast on. But you need to think
about a cooking good steak. You need to have excellent meat.
If you don't have good quality meat, doesn't matter what
techniques use. Really, you can try to mask some of
the flavors. So when I tell you that Good Ranchers
is the best meat and protein delivery service I've ever tried,
(27:29):
I've tried a lot of them, and so you got

got to try Good Ranchers. Their chicken, their beef incredible,

Speaker 1 (29:09):
We have something to dive into on the law enforcement side.
They see there are places where you might expect subversion
of the Trump agenda to come from. You would think
that there are these deep state elements at places like USAI,
(29:32):
D or whatever is left of it who are going
to do everything that they can to thwart the will
of the Trump agenda, and they're gonna do everything they
can to slow it down. They'll they'll even the leak,
they will quiet quit, they will do all of the
(29:53):
tricks of sabotage at their disposal will be deployed, and
you will see that happening throughout the administration. But if
there's one place where you'd like to think other than
the military, and I'll talk about some military stuff that's
going on here as well. Good things going on in
the military thanks to my old buddy Pete Hegseth, now
(30:14):
Secretary I got I mean Secretary Hegseath. I've known him
as Pete for fifteen years, but now it's Secretary of
Defense Heseth doing some really good stuff. But you would think,
or you would maybe hope is a better word than think.
You would hope that from within the law enforcement community
there would not be any actions taken that would undermine
(30:37):
the mission and in danger fellow law enforcement officers because
of politics, because of Trump derangement syndrome, because somebody in
the law enforcement chain of command thinks he or she
knows better than the commander in chief, knows better than
the head of DHS, the head of the head of
(31:01):
perhaps the FBI itself, about what should be done and
what laws should be enforced. This was I mean, maybe
stunning is it's appalling. That's a better word. Stunning implies
shock and surprise. I don't know how many of you
are shocked at all about anything the FBI could do
these days. Remember the FBI, which was run by James
(31:23):
comy who sank to Comy as we have called him
for a long time, who is among the most oleaginous,
grotesquely sanctimonious people you've ever seen in your entire life.
You look at his long career, it's all about him
and how great he is for the rule of law.
He's terrible. Okay, He's never been a real Austin, never
(31:45):
did any cop stuff. He was a lawyer. He's a
prosecutor lawyer who became heavy FBI. And what we see
with the FBI through the Russia collusion hoax and is
that there are people who will break their oath and
break the law to hurt Donald Trump and the people
(32:06):
around him. This, though, is pretty pretty horrendous, even knowing
all that, right, That's what I mean, even if you
are dialed in as I think we are and have been,
to how much subversion and treachery has come from the CIA,
the FBI in these places as it pertains to you know,
(32:27):
it's about Trump the individual. Sure they hate them, but
it's also just the whole agenda. It's the It is
Trump as a challenge to the idea that has been
elevated and now festered in these agencies. In these institutions
that they the permanent government, are really what keeps this
(32:48):
place together, and they get to make the decisions. And
elections are really more for show. Elections, certainly when a
Republican wins and when the Democrats have and cheated, you know,
cheated them out of the win. Elections are for keeping
the peasants quiet enough that they don't go grab the
pitchforks and torches and get too upset. It's the governing
(33:13):
bureaucracy that really holds it all together. This is a
huge problem in ancient Rome. By the way, you could read.
There's a lot of books on this stuff. Adrian Goldsworthy
has a good book, How Rome Fell, Wasn't it? The
dissolution of borders and the incredible growth and corruption of
a massive bureaucracy, and it's just those two things you've
(33:34):
just got systemic collapse. But Holman had to tell everybody
he spoke about this publicly on Fox that there was
an ice operation that was going to happen in Los
Angeles area, and someone in law enforcement tip the media
off to it, who then reported on it, which then
(33:55):
meant that they trend to Aragua Venezuela in gangster that
they were trying to round up new raid was coming.
I mean, think about this. So many of you work
in law enforcement, and I know so many of you
have done the critical job keeping the good people safe
and making sure the bad guys, you know, face justice. Right,
(34:18):
That's what law enforcement so keep keep the good people safe.
And when people are trying to pray on their fellow Americans,
pray on the fellow human beings, break the laws, you know, steal, murder, assault, kill,
all these different things that that you're there to stop
them and to get justice for one day, and I
know a lot of you have done that. Something has
(34:39):
gone really awry in the FBI, though, because could you
imagine if you were working in a let's say, a
county sheriff's office. You know, you're you're a sheriff's deputy,
and you're going to go do a high risk raid
on a known you know, a known felon cartel drug trafficker,
(35:02):
and somebody else in your office is like, you know,
I think that we should all drugs should be legal.
So I'm just going to go tell the media, and
the media will make sure that the drug trafficker. We're
going to go for gets the heads up, so we're
not going to get him or he's going to know
we're coming, which is even scarier, isn't it right. It's
one thing for them to run and hide. That's bad.
Some of these guys. They may decide to set up
(35:24):
an ambush. That's happened before. Tom Holman is having none
of this crap. Here's what he said. This has cut five.
Here's what he's said on Fox about this leak.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
We're thinking it's coming from inside, and we know the
first week of a ARAR is under current investigation. We
think we identify that person under investigation right now on
the California League second turned home. You know, she's correct.
Some of the information we're receiving tensive lead toward the FBI.
But I talked to the Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
(35:57):
They've opened up the criminal investigation, and they have promised
that not only this person will lose their job and
lose their pension, they won't go to jail, they won't
criminally prosecute.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
So we're all over it. Yeah, they're taking this as
seriously as they should. Imagine the mentality of that, Oh,
there's going to be a raid on a bunch of
illegals who are in trend to Aragua, which is that
horrible Venezuelan gang you know think of. It's just like
MS thirteen. It's the same thing. These gangs. They've ties
into the prison system, international drug smuggling, human trafficking, rape, murder, torture,
(36:31):
the worst of the worst. You know, they're lucky that
America is a nation of laws and we're kind people,
because you know, there was a time when these sorts
of individuals will just be taken out and hanged. Right,
the kind of people that will rape, murder, poison art
our communities and kids with drugs. You know, we're a
society of laws and rule of law place. So instead
(36:52):
we're going to capture them and prosecute them and then
deport them, right, that's what we're trying to do. Imagine
being somebody who works in who considers himself for herself
a law enforcement officer, and you're going to tip off
the gang members via the press as the cutout that
they're coming for you and specifically the area too. It's
(37:14):
not just like, oh, there's going to be more raids again.
We all know that they've announced that. No, this is
the equivalent of somebody in a time of war in
your own military, letting the battle plan be known before
you start moving divisions around, so the enemy can move first.
And so it should be taken incredibly seriously and anyone
(37:36):
involved that it should face the absolute fullest force of
the law. But it just shows you, doesn't it what
the mentality is? Who in the what kind of FBI
is it that has people that will tip off trend
of Aragua because they're so pro illegal alien, they're so
pro open borders. They think that they're a rule of
(37:58):
law agency. They think that they're there to enforce the
laws and to uphold the Constitution, except when it comes
to our borders, except when it comes to whether or
not you're actually an American. Then they pick and choose.
You know, an if you have ever dealt with the FBI,
you've ever been questioned by the FBI, interacted with them,
let me tell you the I think we can pick
(38:19):
and choose the laws here doesn't fly with them. You know.
Oh come on, guys, I know it's against a federal statue,
but it's not really a big deal. That's not the
approach you want to take with the FBI. And they
pride themselves on bringing the hammer down on a lot
of people for things that you go, well, I mean,
is that really a bad thing or is it just
(38:40):
a thing that the government kind of said as illegal
that maybe no one cares about. No, no, no, no no,
there's none of that right process crimes. You know, remember
look at what they did to Roger Stone, showed up
tactical gear, long guns, you know, flack vests on yeah
in case what Roger and his silk pajamas, you know,
reached for his smoking pipe for something like what were
(39:01):
they what was that all about? We know what it
was about. They were trying to humiliate somebody who is
a advisor to Trump and a patriot and doesn't want
to play their games. And so they went and then
they tried to lock them up in prison. We've all
seen this. I mean, think about this. We have now
a number of senior Trump advisors who are I think
they're all senior citizens. I don't know. I don't know
(39:22):
how old Steve Bannon is and that might be I
don't know if he's got sixty five. But it's a
patriot and a good man and a man of steel spine.
Bannon and Navarro. These guys have served time in prison.
We have people who have for frivolous nonsense. I mean,
well for deep state targeting. I mean we understand, but
(39:44):
the kind of crimes are supposed to go away for.
And now the people have come back, like Navarro has
come back into this administration. Uh, and they understand how
dirty the other side will play. And I'm just gonna
tell you, whether we're talking about the FBI or these
tag resistance judges, they have learned nothing so far. When
(40:07):
I say learned nothing, meaning they have not changed their tune.
They have not become more ethical, They have not seen
the light. They still think that they're the good guys
in all of this, you know. I mean, I assure
you if you were to sit down with Adam Schiff
and Liz Cheney and the people that are in the insurrection,
even though Trump won and the country is you know,
with each passing day just so so incredibly, I think
(40:31):
both pleased and relieved to see what Donald Trump is doing.
By solid majority. I know, like I said, the twenty
percent are insane. You know, I think that Trump can
get to mid sixties approval with some of this stuff.
I mean overall, I think he could probably get to
you know, sixty sixty five percent approval, and what he's doing,
depending on how it goes this though, shows you, I
(40:52):
think how rotted the system has become when the people
in the most important federal law enforcement agency, when they're
individuals who cannot be trusted to keep there, to be
professionals and to keep their word, to keep their oath,
and would put fellow federal law enforcement officers lives in
(41:14):
jeopardy because that is what they do when they release
where raids are coming for violent gang members. That shows
you that there needs to be an absolute house clee
and there are a lot of people who need to
be fired, and there's some people who need to go
to prison. And I do think that there is a
growing recognition that this Trump team also views it that way.
(41:38):
I think more people realize Tom Holman is serious about it,
and he's not the only one, and he's right. You know,
last week there was so much focus on the NFL.

Want to begin to know when you're on to go
the team forty seven podcasts highlights from the week Sundays
at noon Eastern in the klan Bug podcast feed, Fight
It on the iHeartRadio amp or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Trump just sat down with the King of Jordan, King
of Della, who is a strong US and Western ally
in a messy Middle East. They talked about a whole
range of issues. This comes with the backdrop of net
Yahoo saying there's going to be intense fighting once again
(43:31):
if the promised hostages that Hamas is still holding are
not released by this Saturday. So we're coming I remember
they've just been a ceasefire. They're coming up against the deadline.
Hamas said they would give over hostages and now they're
backtracking on that, and this could result in a serious
(43:53):
resumption of hostilities, kinetic action, killing a lot of Hamas guys,
the IDF go one after them and perhaps finishing the job.
So we want those hostages home. Hamas is doing what
Hamas always does, which is just it's an evil entity
and evil organization. They're breaking their word. They have no
(44:15):
honor and Trump and then Yahoo, I think are more
than sick of the nonsense that these Hamas negotiators are
are engaged in. But let's now get into the conversation
that Trump has opened up around Gaza and what's happening there.
So Trump spoke about his plan for Gaza and the
(44:39):
Hamas hostage deadline issue. When he just sat down with
the King of Jordan, who's the head of state in Jordan, Like,
he's not like a king, like the way, what's his name? Charles?
Isn't Charles the King of England? Now, like hello, let's
sit down and have some tea. You know, total waste,
(45:00):
total waste of space. Isn't he the king? Guys? This
is where I need Clay. He's much more into the
royal family. Yeah, he's the king. Weird, weird looking imbeciles,
the King of England anyway. But yes, I also thought
it was really funny. This is a total side note.
I don't know if you missed this, but someone brought
up the Trump whether he thought that Prince Harry should
(45:21):
be deported and he said he's got enough problems with
his wife. Wow. Trump nails it again. Trump nails it.
That's Trump when he's in the zone. Man, when he's
in the zone. Uh, there's nobody like him. There's nobody
like him. Enjoy him. You know, we've only got him
as president for four more years, so enjoy every day
(45:41):
we've got this guy. Anyway, Trump sat down with King
of Dullah. They talked about hamas they talked about Gaza.
This has cut thirty one. Listen in.
Speaker 6 (45:50):
We're not gonna buy anything. We're gonna have it, and
we're gonna keep it, and we're gonna make sure that
there's gonna be peace and there's not gonna be any problem,
and nobody's gonna question it and who we're going to
run it very properly, and eventually we'll have economic development
that are very large scale, maybe the larger scale on
that site, and we'll have lots of good things built there,
(46:10):
including hotels and office buildings and housing and other things,
and we'll make that site into what it should be.
And the people from Gaza who wouldn't be able to
be there for years, because you're talking about just to
get it and prepare it and to take care of
all of the problems that currently it has. As you know,
tunnels and people are in those tunnels, and you have
some good people and some bad people, and you may
(46:33):
have hostages right now. You know, you have the hostages
possibly there. They don't know where they are. And you know,
I have a Saturday deadline, and I don't think they're
going to make the deadline. Personally, I think they want
to play tough guy. But we'll see how tough they are.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
We'll see how tough they are. It's talking about Hamas.
There So two things thrown into this Trump answer. One
is it seems that President Trump is very serious about
taking over the reconstruction of Gaza in some capacity. I
don't know. Again, you know, you gotta let the man.
(47:10):
You gotta let the man do his thing. You gotta
let your horses run. You gotta let Trump do what
he's doing. So I'm not sure that he has even
put forward what that plan would be in specifics. But
as I was discussing with Clay here yesterday on the show,
whatever has been the policy for Gaza has been as
bad as the results have been, as bad as they
could possibly be. Twenty years Remember the Israelis gave Gaza.
(47:35):
This is an important little history reminder. Two thousand and five.
Israelis said, all right, and they pulled settlers out. I
mean they they and they turned over you know, greenhouses
and infrastructure, and they said, fine, Gaza is yours, Palestinians.
And look what happened. You had twenty years of rocket
(47:57):
and mortar attacks, suicide bombs, infiltration, you know, terrorist operations,
and then the mass casualty, mass murder, terror operation October seventh,
and uh, it's enough is enough? I mean, I've I
said this on Twitter. I know people get Oh, there's
so many people who know nothing about the Palestinians have
(48:19):
never have never been to the West Bank or the Gaza.
You know, I've been to the West Bank. I'm driven
all around dealt with Palestinians gone, and uh, you know,
sat in foreign policy focused meetings back in my academic
days with Palestinians who are complaining about this or that.
When you start a war and you lose a war,
you lose land. That's pretty common throughout history. It's really
(48:42):
the standard if you start a war against another nation state,
whatever you want to call it. Gaza, I mean, you know,
they have elections, it's territory that's controlled by one group
and one one you know, ethnicity. If you start a
war and you lose, you lose land. That has been
true throughout history. So there's that for what should happen
(49:06):
next to Gaza. I don't know why we have to
keep just you know, handing it back, handing it back
to somebody in terms of the leadership there who there's
no reason to believe they're not going to keep it.
They haven't repudiated. You know. This isn't like after World
War Two, when you know, the Nazis were hunted down
and the German people were turning the page. Same thing
(49:28):
with Japan, the Japanese Imperial Japan world War two. No,
that they Hamas is still very much supposed to be
the representatives in the leadership of Gaza. So I'm merely
saying the people who say that Trump is crazy have
no defense of how awful things have been for the
last twenty years, and they seem to think that what
should happen is the international community comes in and clears
(49:52):
the rubble, and its just pumps billions of unaccountable dollars
from their own people who are working for their dollars.
You know, it's basically just America in Europe. I mean,
there'll be some money from some of the Gulf shake
dums or whatever, and we're gonna like rebuild this so
that they can rebuild the tunnels and get more rockets
(50:13):
from Iran and you know, no, no, enough, No, that's
a terrible idea. So I understand that the ideas that
Trump is laying out on this and I, you know,
are not fully fleshed out or fully formed. I also
understand that people say, well, that's not America. First, Okay,
I don't know where the money is coming from. I
(50:33):
don't know who's actually doing this yet. And not having
Israel go through another war in the region. As an ally,
you know, there are there are benefits to a a
a peaceful Middle East as long as we don't have
US troops in harm's way and we're not writing some
huge check for the whole thing. So there are ways
to arrange this so that we're not the ones who
(50:54):
are I think carrying carrying the whole load. We'll see,
you know. And it's if you think Trump is wrong
on this, you're certainly entitled, even as an ardent Trump supporter,
to think that Trump may be off on this one.
So that's fine. Maybe it isn't America. First, Let's see
what he does, Let's see how it goes, and on
where should Gaza's people go? Right? Now this is cut thirty.
(51:14):
This was also from this sit down with the King
of Jordan, Play thirty.
Speaker 6 (51:19):
Well, it's not where I want them to live. It's
going to be where we ultimately choose as a group.
And I believe we'll have a parcel of land and Jordan.
I believe we'll have a parcel of land in Egypt.
We may have someplace else, but I think when we
finish our talks, will have a place where they're going
to live very happily and very safely.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
And you know, don't forget they only.
Speaker 6 (51:41):
Want to be on the Gaza Strip because they don't
know anything else. They never had an alternative, and they
don't want to be in the Gaza Strip, but they
have no choice. They have to be, and they're being
killed there at levels that nobody's ever seen. No place
in the world is like as as dangerous as the
Gaza Strip. They don't want to be there, they have
no alternative. When they have an alternative, not one person
(52:02):
will want to stay where they are. Nobody wants to
say that they're living in hell. It's it's a death trap.
Speaker 1 (52:09):
Isn't it fascinating that so many the people who are
leftist globalists, you know, you know, the mindset kind of
people that like hate everything that I say and that
you believe that they think that it is it is
incumbent upon America to take fake asylum seekers from all
over the world to the tune of millions, that we
(52:31):
have a moral obligation to do that. The left really
the kind of global the globalists, which is just the
global left. It's kind of the same thing. They think
that we have that obligation. But the Muslim world, and
specifically the Arab Muslim world, which shares religion and language
with the Palestinians, talking about blazers like Egypt, for example,
(52:54):
among other countries, they don't have an obligation to take
real refugees from a war war Jordan, I just should
just note I've been in the refugee camps in Jordan
from a Syrian war. So Jordan has is constantly trying
to help, and yeah, you know, take in people from
here or there. They take, they take. They've taken a
lot of Palestinian refugees in the past, they've taken a
(53:15):
lot of Syrian refugees. They've taken a rocky refugees. I
mean know, Jordan is like the uh safety valve in
the region or something. I mean, they're they're always trying
to provide some kind of a buffer. Uh. So it's
it's actually a very important little country and has a
good relationship with Israel next door. And so now when
Trump's talking about where the people of Gaza should go, yeah,
(53:39):
the the the you know, two billion people of the
Muslim world. It's time for somebody else to step up
here and go somewhere else. And this isn't I'm not
taking some oh you know, and this is because it's
I it's not even about whether Israel's in charge or
some you know, Gulf shake dums come together and create
some kind of a protector. I don't even really care.
(54:01):
I just know the idea that we're supposed to rebuild
this and let the same people take this over and
have the same leadership there is insane. That's insane after
what we've just gone through. Okay, it's been a huge war,
right and you know when we had the Like I said,
when you have the end of a major war and
one side loses and Hamas and the Gazans have lost,
(54:22):
things have to change. And so I think Trump is
far more in line with reality here than a lot
of the so called foreign policy consensus, which is just
a bunch of people who think they're smarter than they
are consistently wrong, but think the most important thing is
sounding like the other people that they think are smart.
It's a foreign policy echo chamber. Really, that's how you
get points in foreign policy lands. I think Trump is
(54:45):
onto something and he may be able to come up
with ways. Remember, look at the scoreboard here, Abraham Accords,
Trump administration, moving the embassy in Jerusalem to Jerusalem, Trump administration.
I mean things that, oh, that could never do kill
and side the Israeli issue for a second, killing the
head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Could's force Solomoni? Oh
(55:12):
we could never do that. Trump did it. What did
Ron say? You know, Ron cried about him. That's about it.
So there there is something here about Trump does the
things that everyone says, oh, you can't do that when
it comes to the Mid East, and he's right, and
he just keeps going. So you know, let them in,
Let the man do his thing. I want to hear
more of what he has in mind. And yeah, of
(55:33):
course he's a builder and he's Trump, and you know
he's thinking Trump, taj Mahal might go up on the
Mediterranean something that's just in his nature. But the basic
idea here, which is that something different has to happen
so that Israel doesn't have to go in there again
in ten years and clean out all the mos terrorists
and all the just the viciousness and the and the
(55:54):
murdering and the horribleness of all of this. Enough enough,
it is. It is time or something a different approach
to this little spit of land very far away that
a lot of us are kind of sick of hearing
about dealing with. You know, don't really want to have
to sit around and worry too much about what's going
on in Gaza, and nobody would if they would stop
(56:16):
firing missiles at people and trying to kill all of
the Jews. I mean, things would be really calm and
quiet in Gaza. Act, Gaza could be great if they
just stopped being such a bunch of Jew hating anti Semites,
and you know, that would really help, That would really
change things up. Let me speak to my fellow gun owners.
