Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a dynamic discussion on the state of the U.S. economy, immigration policy, and judicial activism, all through a conservative lens. Buck Sexton opens the hour by highlighting recent economic data, including a significantly reduced trade deficit, which he attributes to former President Donald Trump’s tariff strategies. He argues that the mainstream media and economic “experts” underestimated the effectiveness of Trump-era trade policies, framing the current economic rebound as a vindication of those policies. The conversation then shifts to a major Supreme Court decision allowing the Trump administration to revoke humanitarian parole for over 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Buck critiques the judicial overreach of lower courts and emphasizes the temporary nature of parole, asserting that it was never intended to provide permanent residency. He also criticizes Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor for their dissenting opinions, framing them as partisan actors rather than impartial jurists. Another key topic is the ongoing controversy surrounding antisemitism on college campuses, particularly at Harvard. Buck discusses the State Department’s new initiative to review the social media activity of foreign students for antisemitic content, raising questions about the limits of First Amendment protections for non-citizens on student visas. The hour also includes commentary on the broader implications of judicial activism, with Buck arguing that activist judges are functioning like “extra presidents,” undermining executive authority. He introduces his “skirmishing” strategy—a metaphor for how Trump and his allies are tactically challenging the system to expose and counteract institutional bias. Additional segments touch on cybersecurity threats from North Korea, and the role of tariffs in funding the U.S. government historically.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome it, everybody. Friday edition of The
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off right now.
Much to discuss my friends latest updates on the economy
looking good and trade working out more like promp SETI
(00:21):
Wood than the experts. Remember the experts quote unquote, I
don't know what was it about a month ago? The
sky is falling. Trump has ruined everything. No, not true,
the sky is not falling, and in fact things are
looking great, so probably the greatest. We'll talk about more
of that here coming up shortly. Some other things to
(00:43):
put on your radar. Supreme Court, you know what. I'm
going to dive into this too. Supreme Court has granted
the Trump administration's request to revoke humanitarian parole for over
five hundred and thirty thousand immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,
and Venezuela. And let me say, I think there was
(01:04):
a hint about where this was supposed to go, and
the fact that it's not forever. It's parole, it's not
backdoor to status. It's hey, because we're a nice country,
We're gonna let you chill here for a bit because
things back home are rough, but eventually you're supposed to
go back home, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So that's a big, a big part of this. And
I think we'll discuss the uh. The university fight, by
the way, is very much uh taking you know, day
in and day out, new headlines here, Trump fighting with
the schools, and the State Department is now going to
be reviewing social media of students at Harvard for anti semitism.
(01:47):
So that's gonna that's gonna get interesting. And look, some
of these things I want to discuss a strategy that
I call I call skirmishing, and so I'll get back
to this in a little bit. Some of these things
I think Trump will prevail at the court, and some
of them are also a little more. We'll see and
the ones that are a little more will see. Maybe
(02:07):
he wins, maybe he doesn't. But it's worth the shot.
It's worth a shot. You know. The Democrats. Democrats will
do things, and I mean the president when it's a
Democrat Congress, when Democrats have control, they will do things
that they have themselves explicitly admitted is unconstitutional. They'll just
do it, all right, because if it's pursuing their agenda.
(02:28):
If it's more you know, statist lunacy, they're like, let's
go for it. You know, you know, how many divisions
do you have? Is the attitude right? Or if you're
a fan of ancient Rome? What was it to Pompey
saying don't quote laws to men with swords? That's kind
of the Democrats' attitude when they're in charge, Like, we've
(02:49):
got the swords, so guess what. We'll talk about the
skirmishing strategy from the Trump side of things later on.
We got the Harvard stuff. We've also got Dean Caine
joining Third Hour. You know him from being Superman and
many I certainly know many of the ladies out there
know many of the ladies out there know this guy
is from back in the day when he was Superman.
(03:10):
We'll talk about this cash, buttel also on the FBI stuff. Look,
we have so much show that you just you're gonna
have to strap it in because we've got a lot
of ground to cover. I'm going to dive into this
economy thing one second. Just want to put out a
shout out. I do a little deep dive on North
Korean infiltration of your laptop, meaning any American's laptop and
(03:32):
what they can do well. Wall Street Journal had a
fasting piece I go to a deep dive and also
some of the background in context on how North Korea
operates globally. This one I'm not going to do on
the air today. You got to subscribe to the Clan
Buck Podcast Network where you have all these great podcasts sos.
You also have the Buck Brief, which is where I
put some deep dives now or guests that we have
that aren't on the radio show because we have more.
(03:54):
You know that we have twenty thirty minutes with them
on the podcast side. So go subscribe to Clan Buck
podcast Network growing every month because of you. We have
great hosts on there, Carol Markowitz, Tutor Dixon. I always
want to say, Sean Parnell, he's busy, like being a
big big deal with the Pentagon. Now our friend Dave Rutherford,
former Navy seal. So go and check that out. You
(04:14):
will love that podcast network and look for that North
Korea episode to drop later today. All right, let's do
the economy just I want to set the table with
this one, and then we'll get into the immigration situation
and We'll take a lot of your calls too, and
talkback is working again. I love talkbacks. I love calls too,
I love calls to but talkback's a lot of fun.
(04:35):
So you can and if you send a talkback that's
funny and pokes fun at Clay, we can play it
on the air and I can send it to him
while he's on vacation with his family. As you know,
he's on vacation for the next week. So if you
say something funny about flute playing or something like that,
we can play it on the air and I can
just text it to him and be like, hey, big guy,
they're still thinking about you. They miss you. Here we go.
(04:56):
CNBC's Rick Santelly on this is really interesting on trade
deficit numbers. This is cut one. Let's hear what Santelli
has to say.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
This is the trade balance, which is a deficit expecting
minus one hundred and forty three billion. Wow, it comes
in much much smaller, minus eighty seven billion. And now
this follows a one sixty three that gets converted to
one hundred and sixty two billion with a minus sign
the worst since record keeping nineteen eighty nine. Then we
cut it in half. To eighty seven point six. Eighty
(05:29):
seven point six would be the lightest and I have
to really go back, eighty seven point six would be
the lightest since Wow, September of twenty three. And this
really does underscore how the movement of goods and services
has really changed due to a variety of terror related issues.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
This is a rebalancing of our trade deficit, and it
is exactly what Donald Trump has been pushing for all along,
and what we've been told is going to lead a catastrophe,
even trying to change it up a little bit, Well,
why is that? Notice how there's a built in assumption.
(06:10):
And I'm not just talking about the Trump haters, because
with the Trump haters, it is you know, Donald Trump says, hey,
what a beautiful day. It's seventy five with a nice breeze,
and they're like, it's a horrible day. People will die
because of the day. You know. They just doesn't matter.
They hate him, So their identity. Part of the problem
of the opposition to Trump is that anti trump Ism
(06:32):
is now and has been for a long time, an
identity that people have, you know, the same way that
being concerned about climate change is an identity. It's Oh,
I'm a person who's concerned about climate. Do you know
anything about it? No? Have you thought about it? Really? No?
But it's an identity. Being anti Trump is an identity,
and it's very hard to get people to separate from
(06:53):
that because they like all the things that they think
it tells others, right, they like the things that it
says about them in the eyes of their peer group.
So I'm not just talking though about those people, because
that's you know, anti it's trumped arrangement syndrome. I mean that,
really this should be added to I think we'd be
on the DSM six now right, the Diagnostic Manual for
(07:17):
Psychiatric disorders. I think we'd be on six. I don't
know some of you listening are psychiatrists. Maybe a couple
of you. Most psychiatrists are. Incredibly it's the most left
wing medical profession, Isn't that interesting number? By far, psychiatry
most left wing. You get some great right wing psychiatrists,
I'm sure out there, but it's like a ninety it's
like being a Republican in Washington, DC. But I think
(07:40):
that Trump de arrangement syndrome should be added to it
because it is impossible to reason with people about anything
Trump related. Once they have fallen victim to it, maybe
we should feel sorry for them, because there's like Trump,
it's so horrible. Trump is going to do all the
horrible things. Really, what are the horrible things that are
happening right now?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
What is the thing that is happening in this country?
The world else spems to be so horrified about immigration
laws are being enforced. If they're so horrible, why are
they laws? And why have they been supported in a
bipartisan fashion for decades and decades? Why didn't the Obama
regime get rid of these laws? Because they knew it
would be deeply unpopular, so they have to pretend they
agree with the law while not enforcing it. That's a
(08:22):
whole different thing. But what the economy. Economy is looking great.
You know, I feel like Warren Buffett right now because
I bought into the dip and I believed, I believed
in Elon, I believed in Trump, I believed in the
economy when everyone was, oh, it's so terrible. So you
sit here, though, and you look specifically on tariffs, and
this is an area where even people who are more
(08:46):
pro Trump on most things but have their let's say
their misgivings about some things have been saying this is
where it's all going to fall apart, this is where
he's going to screw up the whole administration, And now
it's a whole on a second, economy is doing well
and the trade deficit is shrinking. The thinking around this
has somehow become so zero sum, meaning it's one. It
(09:09):
is just the one thing, and then it's it. There's
no nuance, there's no h somehow we are to believe
that the trade deficit that we have is either perfect
or does not matter at all, and those things cannot
be true. That's not possible. Or it's the same way
that when you try to cut any government spending, even
(09:32):
though government spending increases year after year. I know, big
beautiful bill. We'll talk more about that as it continues
to make its way through the Senate side. But we're
led to believe, by the Forever Regime, by the narrative,
that the amount of government spending that is occurring right
now is the perfect amount unless it's more. If there's
(09:52):
more spending, then that's the perfect amount. But if you
try to cut that spending even a little bit, it
is dog and cats living together, nass hysteria, cannot have
it right. So you're familiar with this thinking that is
very a very big part of the narrative, the propaganda
that is out there, and of course you know logically
(10:15):
it's untrue. With our trade deficit issue, somehow we are
led to believe that all these other countries that have
tariffs against us, which is all of the countries are
doing something that does not benefit them. It is clearly
of no benefit to them, and that the way things
(10:36):
have shaken out so far is the perfect way for
things to be when it comes to trade. Don't touch it.
It's like a Swiss watch. It's working exactly as it
is supposed to. But that makes no sense. Why is
it perfect? And why are these other people doing tariffs
if it's so dumb and so bad, and why is
(10:58):
it such a terrible idea that we would at least
match them to some degree on the tariffs that they
already have in place, so that we can get to
more of an equilibrium where we don't just buy stuff,
we make stuff. Eventually, if you only buy stuff, you
know what happens. You have to just print and print
and print and print more money to buy the things,
(11:21):
because your productivity isn't based in real market action of productivity.
You're just you know, you're printing, You're running there. You know,
the money machine goes. You're That's not a good place
for you to be. It's how you get to thirty
seven trillion dollars in debt. I might add at some
level handling these things in that way. Oh we're the
(11:42):
reserve currency. We'll just spend more money. Oh, somebody else
will make all of our stuff. Okay, but they have
to buy our debt, and they have to keep wanting
to buy our debt, and then the tendency is going
to be on our side for us to print more
money to pay down that debt without the underlying productivity
of the making stuff and doing stuff and manufacturing base
(12:03):
that we need to sustain the quality of life that
our dollars have gotten us used to. So Trump comes
along and he sees this, and I mean this, I know,
you know, Warren Buffett now is like trade deficits are terrible.
There's a fascinating video. I mean I could probably find
it from years maybe twenty years ago, so not that
(12:25):
long ago, but like twenty years ago, where he talks
about Okay, Well, if trade deficits mean nothing, what happens
if we have one island that makes all the stuff
that lives next to one island that buys all the stuff,
and one island just makes stuff, one island just buy stuff.
Eventually the make stuff island owns the buy stuff island
(12:45):
because the only way that they can afford to keep
being the buy stuff island is essentially a giant series
of io used to the make stuff island. Now I
know this is Oh, it's also simple, and it's more
complicated than that. I have a bunch we could put
a bunch of econ nerd or trade. The trade people
actually are much better. The people who really follow trade
are much closer to Trump on this than a lot
(13:08):
of the people who are. I'm an economist from such
and such, and let me tell you what's going on.
Trump understands these basic market forces in the way that
somebody who has had to live his life with the
ups and downs of them can, and somebody who just
wants to be considered smart by the faculty lounge and
(13:29):
has never really done this stuff can't. And you're already
seeing this start to come to fruition and I want
to also talk about the income number. Something that gets
left out of this discussion so often is what we
get money from the tariffs? Right that people say, oh,
tariffs are attacks, Yeah, but also we get money from them.
(13:50):
And the United States was funded almost exclusively by tariffs
until the twenty first century, with the passage of a
constitucial amendment for an income tax, which as a whole
other conversation, that's a constitutional amendment, might want to take
another look at at some point. We've got we've got plans.
We've got plans, So we'll come back here and talk
(14:12):
about the income numbers, and then also dive into the
end of parole, which is supposed to be temporary, the
end of temporary protected status for some foreigners here. And
the media hates this, of course and wants you to
be upset about it. But why is it temporary if
it's not going to be temporary, meaning not forever. We'll
(14:35):
discuss that coming up here. But I was just talking
about how we're thirty six trillion dollars in debt and
Trump is giving us the opportunity to build a great economy,
or build an even greater economy than we currently have.
And he's making a lot of great moves. But I
want to think about where your finances are and how
you protect your wealth over the next ten years, the
(14:57):
next twenty years. And I was just talking to you
about the money machines going, you know, and all that
that's going to continue to happen. I hope we can
stop this. I don't think we're going to be able
to stop this anytime soon. So how do you stop
the dollars in your bank account, the money that you're
working to say, from just being eroded by government policy
over time? Gold? Gold, my friends. Just look at the
(15:21):
price of gold that has seen an appreciation over the
past year of forty percent, and that's because central banks
are continued to buy up large quantities of gold to
stabilize their own currencies. Look, this isn't about putting, you know,
all all of the nation's cash into gold. That wouldn't
make any sense. No, it's about balancing, taking action now
for the long term, hedging against inflation, and being prepared.
(15:43):
That is my basic thesis about gold. That's why I
have been a gold buyer personally since before I even
started doing media. I bought my first gold coin. Oh gosh,
two thousand and seven or eight. I think now you know,
I remember, and it was expensive to me at the time,
and I've just been just I buy, I hold gold,
I buy gold, I hold gold. Birch Gold is who
(16:04):
I get my gold from. These days, you need to
have somebody reputable and somebody you can trust to help
you right size your holdings and something amazing they can
do for you. Take a four oh one k or
an Ira, especially if you have one you switch jobs.
You got an Ira four o one k that's got,
you know, money in it that you're like, what am
I gonna do with that? You can transition it into
a gold Ira. Birch Gold eight plus rating from the

(16:53):
and Buck. You know, we've got some news out of
the FBI that I wanted to handle with a former
special agent Nicole Parker, who will be with us in
the next hour of the program. Like I said, Dean
Kane formerly Superman or the Superhero formerly Superman. Great dude,
he'll be with us third hour. I thinks he have
a book or he's want to hang out. It's Superman
can fly in anytime. I mean, I'm for whatever reason,
(17:16):
He's always welcome, but he's gonna be with us. He
wants to talk about something. I said, Dean, you just
you know, I don't want to make you mad. You
got those laser eyes or whatever, and that's I don't
want to get solid in half. So we'll get into that.
What's something funny too. Yesterday I was in a grocery
store here in Miami Beach and the guy talking to me,
who's actually the guy who was at the meat counter,
(17:37):
and through our conversation kind of realized was Buck Sexton.
And he didn't really at first. He's like, wait, really,
and then some other guy appeared behind he was listening in.
He goes, oh, no, this is Buck Sexton actually, and
I was like, yeah, I guess, I guess I am.
So there we go fun down here to Miami. Our sponsor,
Pure Talk is focused on recognizing and thanking our military veterans.
(17:59):
Right now, one thousand vets will receive a new American

switched Hasso free in as little as ten minutes. Again,
dial pound two five zero say Clay and Buck to
support veterans and switch to America's wireless company, pure Talk. Well,
welcome back into Clay and Buck, and it's a great
(19:04):
day to be an American, as it always Man, I'm
eating this thing. I love these things. It's called a
David Bar. I I'm just a huge fan. I've been somebody.
You know, I'm gluten free because I I've got sea
late disease, and I've always been looking for kind of
the perfect bar that tastes so good and also has
(19:25):
the perfect macros. This thing has twenty eight grams of protein,
one hundred and fifty calories. I'm eating the red Velvet flavor.
I eat one of these things sometimes too, every day.
Absolutely love these things. And yeah, I don't know if
you've ever tried them, there are you know, people might say, oh,
they're a little pricier than the granola bar I'm used to.
It's better, That's yeah, I'm just telling you it's better.
(19:45):
I absolutely love these things. And you know, not a sponsor,
read or anything, but I was just chewing on once.
I wanted you to know why I came in off
the break there for a second. This David bar just
called the David Bar. Absolutely love these things. So here
we go. Let's dive in to the immigration situation. Immigration
situation at the well, Interior enforcement is a big thing.
(20:09):
And we have the Supreme Court weighing in today saying
that it is in fact okay for the Trump administration
to revoke humanitarian parole for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,
and Venezuela. Uh. And this is it's amazing the Supreme
(20:34):
Court had to weigh in. Other I want, I want
to start from this perspective. This is quite straightforward. This
is something that is really good for anybody who believes
in the rule of law, which is we say, hey,
you can stay here, but at some point you got
to go home. And that a court said at any
(20:58):
at any level, a lower court block the administration on this.
So so let's just understand what's really going on here.
If you want to see where the how intense the
law fair really is, which is what this guy and
I guess it's maybe as a judge, judge fare doesn't
(21:19):
sound as cool, but it's judges now right. It's not
just people bringing law suits, which is generally or bringing charges,
which is generally what you think of as law fair,
you know, warfare by law. This is judicial stuff. So yeah,
also law fair, but it's a particular flavor of it,
you know, because it's really the judges, because I don't
think prosecutors. I don't think you're gonna have a rogue
(21:42):
US attorney right now, be like I'm gonna lock up
the president. I mean, you can try. Good luck with
that one, buddy. I don't think Trump is gonna brook
that nonsense for very long. But the judges, obviously lifetime
tenure starting to notice a trend. People that have life
time job security, whether it's a professor or a judge,
(22:04):
causes problems. Causes problems. You know, it's good to have
to live in the market reality a little bit and
and have to you know, earn your keep. So this
is what's going on here. A judge came in and
said that the administration, which has the discretion to offer temporary,
(22:29):
temporary safe haven, the administration was overruled, overruled by a
lower court judge. You said, you're not allowed to end this.
So this is again, I really I like the simple analogies,
and I like to boil things down as much as
possible because I think it gives clarity. And I'm just
(22:50):
going to tell you that's what Trump does with these things.
He Trump is the guy who's in the meeting who
says what is really going on here? And how to
make this annoying problem go away? How do we fix
it now? Doesn't like to say, oh, we'll like to
piggyback off my off, my associate and like let's have
another meeting tomorrow about the meeting, and like, oh, this
(23:11):
is a challenging problem. So maybe we could have a
study committee, you know, committee on the No, he says,
you know, what is going on here, and let's get
this thing sold. And to do that, I think you
have to break things down to their bare essence. And
this is a bit like if you if there was
a storm, you know, if there was if there was
(23:33):
like a you know, if there were you know, hurricane
in your area. I'm in Miami, so that's something that,
you know, is something we think about. There's a hurricane
in your area and there's somebody out on the street
and they're getting blown around, and you say, hey, hey,
you know what, come come off the street, Come off
the street. I got you, I got you. You know,
you got caught in this here, you know, and I'll
give you, you know, some some foods, some water, some safe harbor,
(23:54):
and persons. Let's say the person stays for a few hours,
and then the and then the storm passes and you go, okay,
you're safe. There you go, you know, you know, good luck.
Do you go about your way and the god goes?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I don't think so. I don't like this temporary thing.
I think I'm gonna stay. You have a guest bedroom.
I think I'm just gonna make myself cozy here forever.
That is what we're talking about here. On an immigration level,
the United States says, Hey, Venezuela is a mess. We
get it. Nicaragua got big problems. We get it. We're
gonna let you stay here for a while, but you
(24:30):
are going to go home at some point. This is
not a forever thing. This is not a forever thing.
And they're also particularly upset about this right now because
we took in fifty fifty white people from South Africa.
Oh my gosh, so ABC. I'm reading the ABC News
(24:52):
right up of this. Do you want to know who?
Remember what I said yesterday about how sodamayor as much
as she is dumb, she knows the only thing she's
supposed to know, and she is she's not a smart
woman as much as she is supposed to know, or
I should say, she's not a smart lawyer. Okay, maybe she's, like,
you know, smarter than the average person, but she is
(25:15):
not a talented or smart lawyer, and not certainly not wise,
and I think, you know, pretty limited. But she knows
the one thing that the Democrats want her to know,
which is deliver wins for the team. You're a left
wing activist in a judicial robe. Give us what we want.
(25:36):
That's why you are there. The law does not matter.
And but I think I think that Katangi Brown Jackson,
now you know who the two are voted against, is
Katangi Brown Jackson also knows that that her job is
not fidelity to the Constitution. And I truly mean this.
Her job is whatever it takes to come up with
(25:59):
some way to pretend the constitution matters. Deliver for the left,
deliver for the left on anything that matters. People say, oh,
what about this nine oh decision or what about that
Nino decision? At some level they had you know, first
of all, those are things where I think there's even
a recognition that the facade of judicial interpretation would be
(26:20):
entirely gone. They wouldn't even be able to have their
defenders in the media with a straight face, say oh, yeah,
you know. I mean, for example, when Colorado is doesn't
it feel like such a long time ago. When Colorado
tried to just take Trump off the ballot, and I
think that was a nine to ozho in the Supreme Court,
They're like that, you can't you can't actually just do that.
(26:41):
You can't just decide he did a bad thing, he
can't run for president anymore. There's no there was no
basis in law. People in these states did this. It
was Colorado, right, I'm remembering this right, God, so much
information has to go through my brain. And then Maine
was considering it, like Maine played foot seet with the idea,
but I think didn't fully go through with it. To
(27:02):
take Trump off the ballot. That was a thing. It
was nine o but one they would realize that actually
looks that is too much. That's too much. They can't
play the game. They can't deliver the long term wins
they need to. If it's clear that they're not even
pretending right, they got to keep It's like the media
with objective new you know, with being objective neutrality. Everyone
(27:24):
knows CNN's left wing. Everyone knows CNN is a Democrat
propaganda outlet. But they got to keep the pretense going
a little bit, a little bit. And then with the
Biden dementia, cover up, no pretense, full on propagandists. You know,
it's some people are watching this is it's a joke.
If I was a leftist, Wow, this is an alternate universe.
(27:48):
If I was a leftist, I would watch one of
these these like you know, online maniacs. Whatever. It's like.
You know, I'm a socialist, Uh, I'm a communist. At
least there's honesty there. At least there's honesty there. So
I think in this case, uh, here's jack here's Katangia Brown.
(28:09):
Jackson by the way, writing on this case. Remember it's
an executive power. It is something that the administration, the
the the Biden administration did and had the authority to do.
Half million people's a lot of people. It's a lot
of people to just let hang out in America, right,
(28:29):
half million people? And Trump comes in and what you see,
and this is a consistent pattern with democrats. What a
democrat has the power as president to do for his
advisors because he's sputtering and you know, drooling his apple sauce.
But what a Democrat president has the right to do.
A Republican president does not have the right to undo,
(28:53):
even if it falls within executive discretion. Right. So if
if Joe Biden, uh has has the right to say yes,
Donald Trump doesn't have the right to say no, and
yougo will hold on a second. That's not how this
works all according to uh Catangi, Brown, Jackson, and Sona
Sonya Soda Mayor, that is how it works. Jackson, writing
(29:15):
an opposition, I love this too. How ABC News they notice?
But let me see if they actually cite anything from
the Nope, nope, the These are the tells you always have.
I have a Supreme Court decision. You have ABC News,
a corporate Democrat news outlet, that in their rite up
of this pick nothing from the majority opinion. There's nothing
(29:37):
there because they can't have an explanation present in this
news article that shows you that only a moron truly
could think that this isn't something that the Trump administration
is allowed to do. There's there's no argument here. Jackson,
writing an opposition, accused the courts majority of quote callously
(29:58):
undervaluing the the devastating consequences of allowing the government to
precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a
million non citizens while their legal claims are pending. If
even if the government is likely to win on the
merits in our legal system, success takes time, Jackson wrote,
and the stay standards require more than anticipated victory. I
(30:21):
would have denied the government's application because its harm related
showing is patently insufficient. What let me tell you, Let
me break down what's going on here. These people have
a temporary right, at the discretion of the executive branch,
to be in the country on humanitarian grounds. They have
(30:41):
all these you know, open borders ACLU type left wing
lunatic legal groups that are trying to find every way
possible to keep them here. And they want anchor babies happening,
and they want people, you know, try and what however,
they can work the system, keep them here as long
as they can file some frivolous claim, file some This
(31:04):
is what they do. And what you see is the
Trump administrations like, ah, no, we're done here, No Mas,
you have to go. And Katangia Brown Jackson realizes that
the scam is up, and so what she says is
it's just so mean, what you're doing is so mean
(31:25):
because they have other claims, Well, they don't have other claims.
If the executive branch has the power to say you're
going home, now, that's the only claim that matters. And
by seven to two, let's be clear, seven to the
Supreme Court is like, yeah, sorry, you've got She even admits,
she even admits that it's likely the government is going
(31:46):
to succeed on the merits. But you see, delay is
the whole point. Trump and his team see through this.
They see the way that the Democrats abuse the system
and abuse good faith, and on immigr they do it
more than anywhere else. Oh, these are asylum seekers. No,
by the way, maybe some of these might be, but
(32:06):
I'm talking about in general the southern border. Oh these
are asylum seekers. No they are not. Oh this is
about humanitarian concerns. No, it is not. And then on
this issue, well, I just don't like what you're doing,
and so I don't want you to be able to
do it. That's not how the law works, Catangi Brown
Jackson and Sonya Sotomayor, that's how left wing activists work,
(32:28):
which is exactly what they are. And it could not
be more clear now after this. Your home is your
sanctuary and you want to make sure it is protected
from the elements. If your gutters are clogged, water can
overflow and find its way into your walls, your foundation
and lead to costly renovation work and wildfire prone areas.

A two and send us talkbacks. We're going to discuss
here the latest with Harvard and that whole fight, because
there's new stuff. State Department now going to be scrubbing
the social media it says, of uh or according to
the administration of people who have anti Semitic stuff for
non Americans here on a student fees it. So they're
(34:01):
testing out this whole thing, like what are the limits
of First Amendment protection for a non American on US soil?
Interesting question, and I'll get into my skirmishing theory on
this a little bit, which I'll explain. You're like, Buck,
what is that? I'm well, if you stay with me
a few minutes, you'll learn something new and interesting. I hope.
I think you'll think it's interesting. Jim and Missouri. We
(34:23):
got a great call here from Jim and Missouri. Jim,
don't let me down. What's up, hey, Buck?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I just want to let you guys know you and
Clay are doing a great job filling those big stues
and rushers.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
We're trying, sir. Thank you so much. We appreciate hearing.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Right to my point, having this many extra judges or
activist judges is like having that many extra presidents.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, it's by the way, perfectly said thank you, Jim.
We call it perfect call. By the way, I like
you and Clay. You're doing good work. Point one and
point two and a stude observation about the mess that
is currently the judicial activism and the universal injunctions right So,
by the way, I've just put it out there for
any who call in. Love you and Clay. Brilliant observation,
(35:11):
great call. So any if you're like wondering what the
template is, or if you call in and make a
make a Clay flute joke or a buck have you
gotten any sleep with the baby joke? Those are fine too.
But here's the thing. This has to be an area
where the Supreme Court weighs in because the damage that
(35:33):
and I really I mean this as somebody who loves
this country so much, and that sounds hokey, I get it,
but it's really true, the damage that is being done
to the judiciary right now. Look at the numbers, more
injunctions already against Trump than in four years of Biden,
the puppet tyrant, or maybe really the puppet of tyrants,
(35:58):
all the little petty tyrants around him. But think about
that for a second. Look at the numbers. The numbers
don't lie. This is their all in strategy to stop Trump. So, uh,
we'll take more calls the next hour. We got oh no,
I think we've got FBI coming up next, don't we
is the FB? How we got? We got Nicole Parker
interesting news out of the FBI that I want to
(36:20):
share with you. It involves, uh, let's say, political activity
in Pride month in the office and some other things.
Were gonna We're getting to call Parker up next. That's
gonna be a fascinating discussion and yeah, basically it's gonna
be an amazing show here continuing on. So, uh, get
some Crockett coffee for yourself, go to Crocketcoffee dot com
(36:40):
for that, and come back with us here in a minute.
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome it, everybody. Friday edition of The
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off right now.
Much to discuss my friends latest updates on the economy
looking good and trade working out more like promp SETI
(00:21):
Wood than the experts. Remember the experts quote unquote, I
don't know what was it about a month ago? The
sky is falling. Trump has ruined everything. No, not true,
the sky is not falling, and in fact things are
looking great, so probably the greatest. We'll talk about more
of that here coming up shortly. Some other things to
(00:43):
put on your radar. Supreme Court, you know what. I'm
going to dive into this too. Supreme Court has granted
the Trump administration's request to revoke humanitarian parole for over
five hundred and thirty thousand immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,
and Venezuela. And let me say, I think there was
(01:04):
a hint about where this was supposed to go, and
the fact that it's not forever. It's parole, it's not
backdoor to status. It's hey, because we're a nice country,
We're gonna let you chill here for a bit because
things back home are rough, but eventually you're supposed to
go back home, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So that's a big, a big part of this. And
I think we'll discuss the uh. The university fight, by
the way, is very much uh taking you know, day
in and day out, new headlines here, Trump fighting with
the schools, and the State Department is now going to
be reviewing social media of students at Harvard for anti semitism.
(01:47):
So that's gonna that's gonna get interesting. And look, some
of these things I want to discuss a strategy that
I call I call skirmishing, and so I'll get back
to this in a little bit. Some of these things
I think Trump will prevail at the court, and some
of them are also a little more. We'll see and
the ones that are a little more will see. Maybe
(02:07):
he wins, maybe he doesn't. But it's worth the shot.
It's worth a shot. You know. The Democrats. Democrats will
do things, and I mean the president when it's a
Democrat Congress, when Democrats have control, they will do things
that they have themselves explicitly admitted is unconstitutional. They'll just
do it, all right, because if it's pursuing their agenda.
(02:28):
If it's more you know, statist lunacy, they're like, let's
go for it. You know, you know, how many divisions
do you have? Is the attitude right? Or if you're
a fan of ancient Rome? What was it to Pompey
saying don't quote laws to men with swords? That's kind
of the Democrats' attitude when they're in charge, Like, we've
(02:49):
got the swords, so guess what. We'll talk about the
skirmishing strategy from the Trump side of things later on.
We got the Harvard stuff. We've also got Dean Caine
joining Third Hour. You know him from being Superman and
many I certainly know many of the ladies out there
know many of the ladies out there know this guy
is from back in the day when he was Superman.
(03:10):
We'll talk about this cash, buttel also on the FBI stuff. Look,
we have so much show that you just you're gonna
have to strap it in because we've got a lot
of ground to cover. I'm going to dive into this
economy thing one second. Just want to put out a
shout out. I do a little deep dive on North
Korean infiltration of your laptop, meaning any American's laptop and
(03:32):
what they can do well. Wall Street Journal had a
fasting piece I go to a deep dive and also
some of the background in context on how North Korea
operates globally. This one I'm not going to do on
the air today. You got to subscribe to the Clan
Buck Podcast Network where you have all these great podcasts sos.
You also have the Buck Brief, which is where I
put some deep dives now or guests that we have
that aren't on the radio show because we have more.
(03:54):
You know that we have twenty thirty minutes with them
on the podcast side. So go subscribe to Clan Buck
podcast Network growing every month because of you. We have
great hosts on there, Carol Markowitz, Tutor Dixon. I always
want to say, Sean Parnell, he's busy, like being a
big big deal with the Pentagon. Now our friend Dave Rutherford,
former Navy seal. So go and check that out. You
(04:14):
will love that podcast network and look for that North
Korea episode to drop later today. All right, let's do
the economy just I want to set the table with
this one, and then we'll get into the immigration situation
and We'll take a lot of your calls too, and
talkback is working again. I love talkbacks. I love calls too,
I love calls to but talkback's a lot of fun.
(04:35):
So you can and if you send a talkback that's
funny and pokes fun at Clay, we can play it
on the air and I can send it to him
while he's on vacation with his family. As you know,
he's on vacation for the next week. So if you
say something funny about flute playing or something like that,
we can play it on the air and I can
just text it to him and be like, hey, big guy,
they're still thinking about you. They miss you. Here we go.
(04:56):
CNBC's Rick Santelly on this is really interesting on trade
deficit numbers. This is cut one. Let's hear what Santelli
has to say.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
This is the trade balance, which is a deficit expecting
minus one hundred and forty three billion. Wow, it comes
in much much smaller, minus eighty seven billion. And now
this follows a one sixty three that gets converted to
one hundred and sixty two billion with a minus sign
the worst since record keeping nineteen eighty nine. Then we
cut it in half. To eighty seven point six. Eighty
(05:29):
seven point six would be the lightest and I have
to really go back, eighty seven point six would be
the lightest since Wow, September of twenty three. And this
really does underscore how the movement of goods and services
has really changed due to a variety of terror related issues.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
This is a rebalancing of our trade deficit, and it
is exactly what Donald Trump has been pushing for all along,
and what we've been told is going to lead a catastrophe,
even trying to change it up a little bit, Well,
why is that? Notice how there's a built in assumption.
(06:10):
And I'm not just talking about the Trump haters, because
with the Trump haters, it is you know, Donald Trump says, hey,
what a beautiful day. It's seventy five with a nice breeze,
and they're like, it's a horrible day. People will die
because of the day. You know. They just doesn't matter.
They hate him, So their identity. Part of the problem
of the opposition to Trump is that anti trump Ism
(06:32):
is now and has been for a long time, an
identity that people have, you know, the same way that
being concerned about climate change is an identity. It's Oh,
I'm a person who's concerned about climate. Do you know
anything about it? No? Have you thought about it? Really? No?
But it's an identity. Being anti Trump is an identity,
and it's very hard to get people to separate from
(06:53):
that because they like all the things that they think
it tells others, right, they like the things that it
says about them in the eyes of their peer group.
So I'm not just talking though about those people, because
that's you know, anti it's trumped arrangement syndrome. I mean that,
really this should be added to I think we'd be
on the DSM six now right, the Diagnostic Manual for
(07:17):
Psychiatric disorders. I think we'd be on six. I don't
know some of you listening are psychiatrists. Maybe a couple
of you. Most psychiatrists are. Incredibly it's the most left
wing medical profession, Isn't that interesting number? By far, psychiatry
most left wing. You get some great right wing psychiatrists,
I'm sure out there, but it's like a ninety it's
like being a Republican in Washington, DC. But I think
(07:40):
that Trump de arrangement syndrome should be added to it
because it is impossible to reason with people about anything
Trump related. Once they have fallen victim to it, maybe
we should feel sorry for them, because there's like Trump,
it's so horrible. Trump is going to do all the
horrible things. Really, what are the horrible things that are
happening right now?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
What is the thing that is happening in this country?
The world else spems to be so horrified about immigration
laws are being enforced. If they're so horrible, why are
they laws? And why have they been supported in a
bipartisan fashion for decades and decades? Why didn't the Obama
regime get rid of these laws? Because they knew it
would be deeply unpopular, so they have to pretend they
agree with the law while not enforcing it. That's a
(08:22):
whole different thing. But what the economy. Economy is looking great.
You know, I feel like Warren Buffett right now because
I bought into the dip and I believed, I believed
in Elon, I believed in Trump, I believed in the
economy when everyone was, oh, it's so terrible. So you
sit here, though, and you look specifically on tariffs, and
this is an area where even people who are more
(08:46):
pro Trump on most things but have their let's say
their misgivings about some things have been saying this is
where it's all going to fall apart, this is where
he's going to screw up the whole administration, And now
it's a whole on a second, economy is doing well
and the trade deficit is shrinking. The thinking around this
has somehow become so zero sum, meaning it's one. It
(09:09):
is just the one thing, and then it's it. There's
no nuance, there's no h somehow we are to believe
that the trade deficit that we have is either perfect
or does not matter at all, and those things cannot
be true. That's not possible. Or it's the same way
that when you try to cut any government spending, even
(09:32):
though government spending increases year after year. I know, big
beautiful bill. We'll talk more about that as it continues
to make its way through the Senate side. But we're
led to believe, by the Forever Regime, by the narrative,
that the amount of government spending that is occurring right
now is the perfect amount unless it's more. If there's
(09:52):
more spending, then that's the perfect amount. But if you
try to cut that spending even a little bit, it
is dog and cats living together, nass hysteria, cannot have
it right. So you're familiar with this thinking that is
very a very big part of the narrative, the propaganda
that is out there, and of course you know logically
(10:15):
it's untrue. With our trade deficit issue, somehow we are
led to believe that all these other countries that have
tariffs against us, which is all of the countries are
doing something that does not benefit them. It is clearly
of no benefit to them, and that the way things
(10:36):
have shaken out so far is the perfect way for
things to be when it comes to trade. Don't touch it.
It's like a Swiss watch. It's working exactly as it
is supposed to. But that makes no sense. Why is
it perfect? And why are these other people doing tariffs
if it's so dumb and so bad, and why is
(10:58):
it such a terrible idea that we would at least
match them to some degree on the tariffs that they
already have in place, so that we can get to
more of an equilibrium where we don't just buy stuff,
we make stuff. Eventually, if you only buy stuff, you
know what happens. You have to just print and print
and print and print more money to buy the things,
(11:21):
because your productivity isn't based in real market action of productivity.
You're just you know, you're printing, You're running there. You know,
the money machine goes. You're That's not a good place
for you to be. It's how you get to thirty
seven trillion dollars in debt. I might add at some
level handling these things in that way. Oh we're the
(11:42):
reserve currency. We'll just spend more money. Oh, somebody else
will make all of our stuff. Okay, but they have
to buy our debt, and they have to keep wanting
to buy our debt, and then the tendency is going
to be on our side for us to print more
money to pay down that debt without the underlying productivity
of the making stuff and doing stuff and manufacturing base
(12:03):
that we need to sustain the quality of life that
our dollars have gotten us used to. So Trump comes
along and he sees this, and I mean this, I know,
you know, Warren Buffett now is like trade deficits are terrible.
There's a fascinating video. I mean I could probably find
it from years maybe twenty years ago, so not that
(12:25):
long ago, but like twenty years ago, where he talks
about Okay, Well, if trade deficits mean nothing, what happens
if we have one island that makes all the stuff
that lives next to one island that buys all the stuff,
and one island just makes stuff, one island just buy stuff.
Eventually the make stuff island owns the buy stuff island
(12:45):
because the only way that they can afford to keep
being the buy stuff island is essentially a giant series
of io used to the make stuff island. Now I
know this is Oh, it's also simple, and it's more
complicated than that. I have a bunch we could put
a bunch of econ nerd or trade. The trade people
actually are much better. The people who really follow trade
are much closer to Trump on this than a lot
(13:08):
of the people who are. I'm an economist from such
and such, and let me tell you what's going on.
Trump understands these basic market forces in the way that
somebody who has had to live his life with the
ups and downs of them can, and somebody who just
wants to be considered smart by the faculty lounge and
(13:29):
has never really done this stuff can't. And you're already
seeing this start to come to fruition and I want
to also talk about the income number. Something that gets
left out of this discussion so often is what we
get money from the tariffs? Right that people say, oh,
tariffs are attacks, Yeah, but also we get money from them.
(13:50):
And the United States was funded almost exclusively by tariffs
until the twenty first century, with the passage of a
constitucial amendment for an income tax, which as a whole
other conversation, that's a constitutional amendment, might want to take
another look at at some point. We've got we've got plans.
We've got plans, So we'll come back here and talk
(14:12):
about the income numbers, and then also dive into the
end of parole, which is supposed to be temporary, the
end of temporary protected status for some foreigners here. And
the media hates this, of course and wants you to
be upset about it. But why is it temporary if
it's not going to be temporary, meaning not forever. We'll
(14:35):
discuss that coming up here. But I was just talking
about how we're thirty six trillion dollars in debt and
Trump is giving us the opportunity to build a great economy,
or build an even greater economy than we currently have.
And he's making a lot of great moves. But I
want to think about where your finances are and how
you protect your wealth over the next ten years, the
(14:57):
next twenty years. And I was just talking to you
about the money machines going, you know, and all that
that's going to continue to happen. I hope we can
stop this. I don't think we're going to be able
to stop this anytime soon. So how do you stop
the dollars in your bank account, the money that you're
working to say, from just being eroded by government policy
over time? Gold? Gold, my friends. Just look at the
(15:21):
price of gold that has seen an appreciation over the
past year of forty percent, and that's because central banks
are continued to buy up large quantities of gold to
stabilize their own currencies. Look, this isn't about putting, you know,
all all of the nation's cash into gold. That wouldn't
make any sense. No, it's about balancing, taking action now
for the long term, hedging against inflation, and being prepared.
(15:43):
That is my basic thesis about gold. That's why I
have been a gold buyer personally since before I even
started doing media. I bought my first gold coin. Oh gosh,
two thousand and seven or eight. I think now you know,
I remember, and it was expensive to me at the time,
and I've just been just I buy, I hold gold,
I buy gold, I hold gold. Birch Gold is who
(16:04):
I get my gold from. These days, you need to
have somebody reputable and somebody you can trust to help
you right size your holdings and something amazing they can
do for you. Take a four oh one k or
an Ira, especially if you have one you switch jobs.
You got an Ira four o one k that's got,
you know, money in it that you're like, what am
I gonna do with that? You can transition it into

(16:53):
and Buck. You know, we've got some news out of
the FBI that I wanted to handle with a former
special agent Nicole Parker, who will be with us in
the next hour of the program. Like I said, Dean
Kane formerly Superman or the Superhero formerly Superman. Great dude,
he'll be with us third hour. I thinks he have
a book or he's want to hang out. It's Superman
can fly in anytime. I mean, I'm for whatever reason,
(17:16):
He's always welcome, but he's gonna be with us. He
wants to talk about something. I said, Dean, you just
you know, I don't want to make you mad. You
got those laser eyes or whatever, and that's I don't
want to get solid in half. So we'll get into that.
What's something funny too. Yesterday I was in a grocery
store here in Miami Beach and the guy talking to me,
who's actually the guy who was at the meat counter,
(17:37):
and through our conversation kind of realized was Buck Sexton.
And he didn't really at first. He's like, wait, really,
and then some other guy appeared behind he was listening in.
He goes, oh, no, this is Buck Sexton actually, and
I was like, yeah, I guess, I guess I am.
So there we go fun down here to Miami. Our sponsor,
Pure Talk is focused on recognizing and thanking our military veterans.
(17:59):

welcome back into Clay and Buck, and it's a great
(19:04):
day to be an American, as it always Man, I'm
eating this thing. I love these things. It's called a
David Bar. I I'm just a huge fan. I've been somebody.
You know, I'm gluten free because I I've got sea
late disease, and I've always been looking for kind of
the perfect bar that tastes so good and also has
(19:25):
the perfect macros. This thing has twenty eight grams of protein,
one hundred and fifty calories. I'm eating the red Velvet flavor.
I eat one of these things sometimes too, every day.
Absolutely love these things. And yeah, I don't know if
you've ever tried them, there are you know, people might say, oh,
they're a little pricier than the granola bar I'm used to.
It's better, That's yeah, I'm just telling you it's better.
(19:45):
I absolutely love these things. And you know, not a sponsor,
read or anything, but I was just chewing on once.
I wanted you to know why I came in off
the break there for a second. This David bar just
called the David Bar. Absolutely love these things. So here
we go. Let's dive in to the immigration situation. Immigration
situation at the well, Interior enforcement is a big thing.
(20:09):
And we have the Supreme Court weighing in today saying
that it is in fact okay for the Trump administration
to revoke humanitarian parole for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,
and Venezuela. Uh. And this is it's amazing the Supreme
(20:34):
Court had to weigh in. Other I want, I want
to start from this perspective. This is quite straightforward. This
is something that is really good for anybody who believes
in the rule of law, which is we say, hey,
you can stay here, but at some point you got
to go home. And that a court said at any
(20:58):
at any level, a lower court block the administration on this.
So so let's just understand what's really going on here.
If you want to see where the how intense the
law fair really is, which is what this guy and
I guess it's maybe as a judge, judge fare doesn't
(21:19):
sound as cool, but it's judges now right. It's not
just people bringing law suits, which is generally or bringing charges,
which is generally what you think of as law fair,
you know, warfare by law. This is judicial stuff. So yeah,
also law fair, but it's a particular flavor of it,
you know, because it's really the judges, because I don't
think prosecutors. I don't think you're gonna have a rogue
(21:42):
US attorney right now, be like I'm gonna lock up
the president. I mean, you can try. Good luck with
that one, buddy. I don't think Trump is gonna brook
that nonsense for very long. But the judges, obviously lifetime
tenure starting to notice a trend. People that have life
time job security, whether it's a professor or a judge,
(22:04):
causes problems. Causes problems. You know, it's good to have
to live in the market reality a little bit and
and have to you know, earn your keep. So this
is what's going on here. A judge came in and
said that the administration, which has the discretion to offer temporary,
(22:29):
temporary safe haven, the administration was overruled, overruled by a
lower court judge. You said, you're not allowed to end this.
So this is again, I really I like the simple analogies,
and I like to boil things down as much as
possible because I think it gives clarity. And I'm just
(22:50):
going to tell you that's what Trump does with these things.
He Trump is the guy who's in the meeting who
says what is really going on here? And how to
make this annoying problem go away? How do we fix
it now? Doesn't like to say, oh, we'll like to
piggyback off my off, my associate and like let's have
another meeting tomorrow about the meeting, and like, oh, this
(23:11):
is a challenging problem. So maybe we could have a
study committee, you know, committee on the No, he says,
you know, what is going on here, and let's get
this thing sold. And to do that, I think you
have to break things down to their bare essence. And
this is a bit like if you if there was
a storm, you know, if there was if there was
(23:33):
like a you know, if there were you know, hurricane
in your area. I'm in Miami, so that's something that,
you know, is something we think about. There's a hurricane
in your area and there's somebody out on the street
and they're getting blown around, and you say, hey, hey,
you know what, come come off the street, Come off
the street. I got you, I got you. You know,
you got caught in this here, you know, and I'll
give you, you know, some some foods, some water, some safe harbor,
(23:54):
and persons. Let's say the person stays for a few hours,
and then the and then the storm passes and you go, okay,
you're safe. There you go, you know, you know, good luck.
Do you go about your way and the god goes?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I don't think so. I don't like this temporary thing.
I think I'm gonna stay. You have a guest bedroom.
I think I'm just gonna make myself cozy here forever.
That is what we're talking about here. On an immigration level,
the United States says, Hey, Venezuela is a mess. We
get it. Nicaragua got big problems. We get it. We're
gonna let you stay here for a while, but you
(24:30):
are going to go home at some point. This is
not a forever thing. This is not a forever thing.
And they're also particularly upset about this right now because
we took in fifty fifty white people from South Africa.
Oh my gosh, so ABC. I'm reading the ABC News
(24:52):
right up of this. Do you want to know who?
Remember what I said yesterday about how sodamayor as much
as she is dumb, she knows the only thing she's
supposed to know, and she is she's not a smart
woman as much as she is supposed to know, or
I should say, she's not a smart lawyer. Okay, maybe she's, like,
you know, smarter than the average person, but she is
(25:15):
not a talented or smart lawyer, and not certainly not wise,
and I think, you know, pretty limited. But she knows
the one thing that the Democrats want her to know,
which is deliver wins for the team. You're a left
wing activist in a judicial robe. Give us what we want.
(25:36):
That's why you are there. The law does not matter.
And but I think I think that Katangi Brown Jackson,
now you know who the two are voted against, is
Katangi Brown Jackson also knows that that her job is
not fidelity to the Constitution. And I truly mean this.
Her job is whatever it takes to come up with
(25:59):
some way to pretend the constitution matters. Deliver for the left,
deliver for the left on anything that matters. People say, oh,
what about this nine oh decision or what about that
Nino decision? At some level they had you know, first
of all, those are things where I think there's even
a recognition that the facade of judicial interpretation would be
(26:20):
entirely gone. They wouldn't even be able to have their
defenders in the media with a straight face, say oh, yeah,
you know. I mean, for example, when Colorado is doesn't
it feel like such a long time ago. When Colorado
tried to just take Trump off the ballot, and I
think that was a nine to ozho in the Supreme Court,
They're like that, you can't you can't actually just do that.
(26:41):
You can't just decide he did a bad thing, he
can't run for president anymore. There's no there was no
basis in law. People in these states did this. It
was Colorado, right, I'm remembering this right, God, so much
information has to go through my brain. And then Maine
was considering it, like Maine played foot seet with the idea,
but I think didn't fully go through with it. To
(27:02):
take Trump off the ballot. That was a thing. It
was nine o but one they would realize that actually
looks that is too much. That's too much. They can't
play the game. They can't deliver the long term wins
they need to. If it's clear that they're not even
pretending right, they got to keep It's like the media
with objective new you know, with being objective neutrality. Everyone
(27:24):
knows CNN's left wing. Everyone knows CNN is a Democrat
propaganda outlet. But they got to keep the pretense going
a little bit, a little bit. And then with the
Biden dementia, cover up, no pretense, full on propagandists. You know,
it's some people are watching this is it's a joke.
If I was a leftist, Wow, this is an alternate universe.
(27:48):
If I was a leftist, I would watch one of
these these like you know, online maniacs. Whatever. It's like.
You know, I'm a socialist, Uh, I'm a communist. At
least there's honesty there. At least there's honesty there. So
I think in this case, uh, here's jack here's Katangia Brown.
(28:09):
Jackson by the way, writing on this case. Remember it's
an executive power. It is something that the administration, the
the the Biden administration did and had the authority to do.
Half million people's a lot of people. It's a lot
of people to just let hang out in America, right,
(28:29):
half million people? And Trump comes in and what you see,
and this is a consistent pattern with democrats. What a
democrat has the power as president to do for his
advisors because he's sputtering and you know, drooling his apple sauce.
But what a Democrat president has the right to do.
A Republican president does not have the right to undo,
(28:53):
even if it falls within executive discretion. Right. So if
if Joe Biden, uh has has the right to say yes,
Donald Trump doesn't have the right to say no, and
yougo will hold on a second. That's not how this
works all according to uh Catangi, Brown, Jackson, and Sona
Sonya Soda Mayor, that is how it works. Jackson, writing
(29:15):
an opposition, I love this too. How ABC News they notice?
But let me see if they actually cite anything from
the Nope, nope, the These are the tells you always have.
I have a Supreme Court decision. You have ABC News,
a corporate Democrat news outlet, that in their rite up
of this pick nothing from the majority opinion. There's nothing
(29:37):
there because they can't have an explanation present in this
news article that shows you that only a moron truly
could think that this isn't something that the Trump administration
is allowed to do. There's there's no argument here. Jackson,
writing an opposition, accused the courts majority of quote callously
(29:58):
undervaluing the the devastating consequences of allowing the government to
precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a
million non citizens while their legal claims are pending. If
even if the government is likely to win on the
merits in our legal system, success takes time, Jackson wrote,
and the stay standards require more than anticipated victory. I
(30:21):
would have denied the government's application because its harm related
showing is patently insufficient. What let me tell you, Let
me break down what's going on here. These people have
a temporary right, at the discretion of the executive branch,
to be in the country on humanitarian grounds. They have
(30:41):
all these you know, open borders ACLU type left wing
lunatic legal groups that are trying to find every way
possible to keep them here. And they want anchor babies happening,
and they want people, you know, try and what however,
they can work the system, keep them here as long
as they can file some frivolous claim, file some This
(31:04):
is what they do. And what you see is the
Trump administrations like, ah, no, we're done here, No Mas,
you have to go. And Katangia Brown Jackson realizes that
the scam is up, and so what she says is
it's just so mean, what you're doing is so mean
(31:25):
because they have other claims, Well, they don't have other claims.
If the executive branch has the power to say you're
going home, now, that's the only claim that matters. And
by seven to two, let's be clear, seven to the
Supreme Court is like, yeah, sorry, you've got She even admits,
she even admits that it's likely the government is going
(31:46):
to succeed on the merits. But you see, delay is
the whole point. Trump and his team see through this.
They see the way that the Democrats abuse the system
and abuse good faith, and on immigr they do it
more than anywhere else. Oh, these are asylum seekers. No,
by the way, maybe some of these might be, but
(32:06):
I'm talking about in general the southern border. Oh these
are asylum seekers. No they are not. Oh this is
about humanitarian concerns. No, it is not. And then on
this issue, well, I just don't like what you're doing,
and so I don't want you to be able to
do it. That's not how the law works, Catangi Brown
Jackson and Sonya Sotomayor, that's how left wing activists work,
(32:28):
which is exactly what they are. And it could not
be more clear now after this. Your home is your
sanctuary and you want to make sure it is protected
from the elements. If your gutters are clogged, water can
overflow and find its way into your walls, your foundation
and lead to costly renovation work and wildfire prone areas.
Gutters can also trap dry, flammable debris, creating a fire hazard.

here the latest with Harvard and that whole fight, because
there's new stuff. State Department now going to be scrubbing
the social media it says, of uh or according to
the administration of people who have anti Semitic stuff for
non Americans here on a student fees it. So they're
(34:01):
testing out this whole thing, like what are the limits
of First Amendment protection for a non American on US soil?
Interesting question, and I'll get into my skirmishing theory on
this a little bit, which I'll explain. You're like, Buck,
what is that? I'm well, if you stay with me
a few minutes, you'll learn something new and interesting. I hope.
I think you'll think it's interesting. Jim and Missouri. We
(34:23):
got a great call here from Jim and Missouri. Jim,
don't let me down. What's up, hey, Buck?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I just want to let you guys know you and
Clay are doing a great job filling those big stues
and rushers.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
We're trying, sir. Thank you so much. We appreciate hearing.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Right to my point, having this many extra judges or
activist judges is like having that many extra presidents.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, it's by the way, perfectly said thank you, Jim.
We call it perfect call. By the way, I like
you and Clay. You're doing good work. Point one and
point two and a stude observation about the mess that
is currently the judicial activism and the universal injunctions right So,
by the way, I've just put it out there for
any who call in. Love you and Clay. Brilliant observation,
(35:11):
great call. So any if you're like wondering what the
template is, or if you call in and make a
make a Clay flute joke or a buck have you
gotten any sleep with the baby joke? Those are fine too.
But here's the thing. This has to be an area
where the Supreme Court weighs in because the damage that
(35:33):
and I really I mean this as somebody who loves
this country so much, and that sounds hokey, I get it,
but it's really true, the damage that is being done
to the judiciary right now. Look at the numbers, more
injunctions already against Trump than in four years of Biden,
the puppet tyrant, or maybe really the puppet of tyrants,
(35:58):
all the little petty tyrants around him. But think about
that for a second. Look at the numbers. The numbers
don't lie. This is their all in strategy to stop Trump. So, uh,
we'll take more calls the next hour. We got oh no,
I think we've got FBI coming up next, don't we
is the FB? How we got? We got Nicole Parker
interesting news out of the FBI that I want to
(36:20):
share with you. It involves, uh, let's say, political activity
in Pride month in the office and some other things.
Were gonna We're getting to call Parker up next. That's
gonna be a fascinating discussion and yeah, basically it's gonna
be an amazing show here continuing on. So, uh, get
some Crockett coffee for yourself, go to Crocketcoffee dot com

Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
