In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Buck returns from an eye-opening trip to Taiwan, sharing firsthand insights into the escalating tensions with China, the looming threat of invasion, and the critical role of TSMC in global semiconductor supply chains. He previews an exclusive interview with Taiwan’s president, President Lai Ching-te, airing later in the program and underscores why U.S. policy in the region matters for national security and the global economy.
Back on the home front, the hour dives deep into the government shutdown and its political implications, followed by a fiery discussion on the immigration enforcement battle. Buck breaks down President Trump’s deployment of Federal Protection Missions and National Guard units to cities like Portland and Chicago, where local and state Democratic leaders are resisting federal immigration law enforcement. He argues that Democrats are enabling lawlessness by refusing to cooperate with ICE and federal authorities, framing this as a fight for the rule of law versus open borders.
The conversation highlights Portland’s ongoing unrest, with over 100 nights of violent protests targeting ICE facilities, Antifa-driven chaos, and local officials allegedly obstructing federal efforts. Buck contrasts this with the Biden administration’s prolonged National Guard presence in D.C. after January 6, calling out what he sees as hypocrisy. Listener emails and calls from Oregon confirm the severity of the situation, while Buck critiques Democratic leaders like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for downplaying crime and opposing federal intervention.
The hour also touches on Democratic Party dynamics, including speculation about Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Pritzker’s ambitions for 2028, plus Buck’s humorous take on reading Kamala’s book during his Taiwan flights. The segment closes with commentary on the Comey indictment, Chicago crime rates compared to Taipei, and why Trump’s immigration crackdown remains a cornerstone of his agenda.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of The Clay Travis N.
Buck Sexton Show. I am back from Taiwan and it
was fascinating play out today on vacation with his family.
Appreciate him holding down the fort last week. The Sexton
Brothers mission to Taiwan was fascinating. We have an interview
(00:21):
with the President of Taiwan that will air in this
program in the third hour where we get into the
threat from China, which is higher than it has ever been,
the threat of invasion. It's really getting tents over there.
That's one of the reasons, the main reason really why
I wanted to go, so I could see for myself
and learn what is going on. Meetings over there, interviews
(00:45):
with the President, the Vice president, the National Security Advisor,
members of the National Security Council, senior leadership. From the
trillion dollar TSMC Corporation that's the market cap of it.
I mean, it's one of the most valuable companies in
the world that makes the chips for your phones, my friends.
It is the only manufacturer of the most advanced chips
(01:09):
that are needed for ai So we talked to TSMC.
I toured a Taiwanese military base discussed preparations for a
possible amphibious invasion. I mean, it was a heck of
a week, I can tell you that, and I'm going
to bring you as much of those insights as I
can of the course of this week clays out, I believe,
(01:31):
until Thursday, so we have some time together over the
next couple of days. But so a lot to talk
about with respect to Taiwan and China. It really does matter.
It is incredibly important. It is something that we as
a country need to make sure we understand and we
avoid a massive war in the east. That's the real
(01:53):
problem here. That's what we're trying to tackle because it
would crash the markets and cause huge problems or global
supply chain for technology. My friends, it is the flash
point right now, and I hope that things stay calm
and peaceful and status quo reigns over there, and we
have a big hand in it. Anyway, I will get
(02:13):
more into that. I know, first and foremost we are
looking here at what's going on at home. On the
home front. We have Oh boy, the shutdown happened. We
are in a shutdown, and it is not in fact,
dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, but it is
interesting to see what Democrats place their priorities on. We
(02:35):
will have the Speaker of the House, number three in
line for the presidency, Speaker Johnson set to join us
also in the third hour of the program. It's a
pre pack third hour, Speaker of the House Representatives, President
of Taiwan. We've got a big show for you, my friends.
So we'll discuss the shutdown negotiations, the latest on that
(02:55):
with the Speaker of the House. So that then brings
me to the showdown over water being called federal protection missions.
I was following this from Afar twelve hours behind in
Oh no, I'm sorry, twelve hours ahead rather in Taiwan,
so watching the news from a distance and in a
(03:17):
different timeframe. But certainly this showdown over the deployment of
these federal protection missions to different American cities is really
a big deal. It matters tremendously for the immigration enforcement mission,
which is central to the Trump administration agenda, but it
(03:37):
also goes to sovereignty and the rule of law as
general principles in this country. Do we have rule of
law or not? Let me just take a step back
here for a moment. Democrats at every turn have insisted
that state governments, wherever they have control, state governments do
nothing to help and if possible, even thwart federal law enforcement.
(04:02):
And they will when they Democrats are in charge of
federal government power, they will refuse help from the state government.
So it is the policy of the Democrat party to
undermine immigration law always at all times. When they have
the federal government they don't want, they will not accept
(04:23):
help from the state. In fact, you will recall under
the disastrous Biden administration, they were telling Texas that Texas,
as a state on the border, was not allowed to
set up barriers to illegal entry. They forced Texas to
remove barriers to make it easier for the ten million plus.
(04:47):
I keep saying plus because I don't maybe it was
twelve million with the Godaways. We don't know. Ten million
plus illegals piling into the country. Under Biden a decision
made by the Democrats to undermine our sovereignty, to be
lawless and reckless as a party, top down, the decision
was made to do this. And now that we have
(05:10):
the Trump administration saying okay, we're actually going to enforce
the law, Democrats try to stop it at every point
at every juncture, and you're seeing this once again. If
they had any actual courage of their convictions, why don't
they just come out and say they're for open borders.
Let's really just get down to this. Democrats do not
(05:33):
want enforcement of our immigration laws. They don't want border security,
they don't want deportations. They want to have the continuous
importation of the third World, of developing countries, of people
who don't speak English, who don't obey our laws. The
first act they commit on our soil is a violation
(05:54):
of our laws and our sovereignty. And they do this
because they view America as something that needs radical change
with Democrats in charge, and the only way they can
achieve that, achieve that is to import non American voters.
Buy the millions, Buy the millions. This is the game plan,
this is what they do. Trump is trying to not
(06:17):
only stop the inflow, but create an outflow of illegals
scent packing as are federal law states, they should be.
Let's be very clear about this. There's a lot of
talk about prioritization, about who can stay and who can go,
and oh my gosh, you know they're sending away this
Grandma who's been here for all these years. If you're
(06:38):
here illegally, you are subject to deportation. That is federal law.
If Democrats don't like that, then Democrats in the House
and the Senate should try to change it. But what
they do is lie and say, oh, no, we're for
immigration laws, but we just want to make sure that
they're never actually enforced. They want to have it both ways.
They want to play this double game. Enough is enough.
(06:59):
So Trump is forcing their hand because what you see
in Portland, what you see in Chicago and the state
actions from Democrats controlling both proves my thesis beyond any doubt.
It is exactly what I have been saying and am
saying to you. That's what's going on. And you see
it with these federal protection missions. Now Portland, which unfortunately
(07:22):
has for a long time been Antifa Stan, Antifa just
gets to show up, run rough shot, Mayhem, anarchy, do
whatever they want. Portland is Antifa Stan, as we know.
And they have these demonstrations at an Immigration and Customs
Enforcement facility, their ice facility there, demonstrations play where they're riots.
(07:45):
You know, they're they're they're impeding law enforcement. They're getting
in the way there, there was the car being rammed
into Ice recently. I mean, they're doing all this crazy
stuff to stop law enforcement from conducting its duties. This
is lawlessness, This is unacceptable. And the fact that state
and local law enforcement, because this is a Democrat enclave,
(08:08):
a Democrat fiefdom, the fact that state and local law
enforcement refuses to assist, refuses to provide backup, is all
the indication that anybody should need that the federal government
needs to double down and send reinforcements. That's what this
Federal Protection Mission is. President Trump, this is cut twelve.
(08:30):
Spoke about the situation in Portland.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Listen, Portland's different. That's a lective, paid insurrection is But
you have a lot of paid people in Chicago. Do
I believe the politicians are under threat because there's no
way somebody can say that things are one to vote
in Chicago. Almost fifty five, I think it was fifty
five people over a short period of times have been
(08:53):
murdered in Chicago, had been shot. Two hundred and twenty
two people over short have been hit, have been wounded,
not died, But fifty five people died over a short piritdemit,
you're telling me there's no city in the world like that.
We're going to straight it down. And I think that Pritzker,
(09:14):
he's not a stupid person. I think that Pritzker's afread
for his life.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Here we have Trump continuing to push on these issues
where I think he not only is right legally and morally,
but also politically because Democrats don't want things to get better.
They stand in the way of progress on bringing the
crime numbers down, murders down in Chicago, and immigration enforcement
(09:41):
in Chicago, which is another big issue right now. They're saying, oh,
these they keep calling them militarized raids. They're they're antagonizing
the New York Times and Chicago Tribute and the Washington Post.
They're constantly inflaming and antagonizing the public, lying to the
public about the nature of these This is what is
(10:01):
lawful for these ice officers to do. They are allowed
to go into areas and enforce our laws. Democrats cannot
get away with this game anymore. We cannot allow this
where they say, well, we support immigration forces, but I
don't like the way they're doing it. They're being really
mean in this area as they do it. What do
(10:24):
they want to have happen here. You've got people that
don't want to go back to their own country, their
actual home country, their country of citizenship, and they are
fighting against it. Sometimes they are resisting arrest, they are
trying to evade law enforcement. Enough is enough. Democrats showed
us who they are underbided. They are an open borders party.
They are a bunch of liars. They cannot win. They
(10:47):
show me one Democrat who can debate this issue with
someone like me, someone who's fired up and knowledgeable and
has been following it for now a decade very closely.
It doesn't exist because they're We've all seen that they
are lying. And that's why in Oregon it's really Portland
(11:07):
is the issue. But within the Oregon state government this
is getting a lot of attention. A bunch of communists,
unfortunately run that place just like they run Portland. And
then Illinois. I feel bad if Pritzker is the governor
of Illinois, but really he's like the viceroy of Chicago
because it's the Chicago political machine that controls the rest
of the state. There's a lot of nice places in
(11:29):
Illinois with plenty of sane people. It's just Chicago is
run by the crazies. And so you have the Mayor
of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, the governor of Illinois, like I say,
the Viceroy of Chicago Pritzker, who also wants to step
up for leadership of the Democrat Party. You have all
of them coming together trying to again inflame the public
(11:52):
and stop Trump from doing what he needs to do
or what he seeks to do here in these places.
And it's just madness. I think people have seen this.
Now you have a federal judge Sunday Night has blocked
the Trump administration from deploying National Guard, or has put
out an order to block the National Guard, I should say.
(12:12):
And now today Illinois has sued the Trump administration over
Guard deployments. And so you got a couple of states
that are saying, no, you're not allowed to help with
enforcement of immigration. You cannot use federal resources in our
state to help with immigration enforcement and also to help
with crime. Not allowed to do it. This is lawlessness.
(12:35):
This is a critical fight. It's one where Trump is
right and has to continue. So I'll give you more
of this. By the way, I want to remind everybody
while these judges are coming forward to say, hey, you.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Can't do this.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
There's no need for this. There was another time when
there was national Guard deployed and there was no need
for it. That Democrats made a very big deal of
deployed the national Guard and it was absurd, absurd how
long they've I'll come back and I'll explain that to
you here in just a second. You know, it was
(13:08):
two years ago tomorrow that terrorists murdered more than twelve
hundred innocent Israelis and took two hundred and fifty hostages.
Today there's a glimmer of hope that the remaining hostages
may be returned. And while the world is focused on
a lot of other events in the news these days,
there's a light that shines in the darkness. Christians in
America tomorrow will boldly stand with Israel by participating in
a growing movement that will be going on for the month.
(13:31):
It has been created by the International Fellowship of Christians
and Jews, and it's called Flags of Fellowship. This country
wide effort, Flags of Fellowship unites churches across America plan
to go over one million Israeli flags across our land
show the world that Israel is not alone. To get
more information about how you can join the Flags of
Fellowship movement. Visit IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org.
(13:56):
You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
We claim your sanity with Clay and find them on
the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. I know
we've got a great audience in the state of Oregon.
So if you and we have people who venture into Portland,
I think most of you who listen to Oregon aren't
in the city center of Portland. I would be willing
to guess. But if you want to call in let
us know what you've seen down there. I definitely want
(14:29):
to hear from you. It has been eight hundred two
ay two two eight. It's you also, if you just
want to weigh in on this issue of these of
these missions that Trump is a federal protection missions, Trump
is deploying our National Guard members on this stuff is important,
it's critical. Actually it needs to happen. One hundred nights
(14:52):
of mayhem at the Portland Ice facility, that's what's being
reported and the police chief of Portland communist. Remember the
communists run all this stuff in these states now, whether
it's Oregon, it's at Portland to the city or Chicago.
They have the police departments, they have the mayor's office,
(15:12):
they've got the governor's mansions, the state legislature. So you're
just talking about craziness top to bottom. But the police
chief has said that he supports what's going on. One
hundred knights of violence. They are throwing bottles at law enforcement.
They are shining or directing lasers into the eyes of
(15:34):
these different law enforcement personnel ice personnel there. Now that's
meant to freak people out and try to hurt their
vision and try to blind them. This is something that
these Antifa scumbags do. But they've got rocks, shattering windows,
they're blocking traffic, they're blocking This is obstruction. They're obstructing
(15:55):
law enforcement, and the mayor and the chief of police
in Portland won't give any backup from the Portland police.
Think about this for a moment. Imagine that there was
a oh here we go. Imagine that there were marauding
white supremacists, which when does that actually happen? Right? Imagine
(16:18):
that there were marauding white supremacists in the streets and
they were breaking things and attacking people, attacking cops, and
a Republican, a Republican were to say, you know what
cops you know, and let's say it was in New York,
NYPD said we're not going to help. Sorry, federal government,
you're on your own with this one. Everybody would say
(16:38):
what the heck is going on? But with Democrats, the
lawlessness is the point. They don't support these immigration laws.
Oh I had mentioned because you have these judges now
that have come forward and said, you can't deploy the
National Guard because we override the president's judgment on whether
it's needed. These judges think that they are in a
(16:58):
position to tell the president of the United States, one
random federal judge you can't defend federal law enforcement with
federal help. Now contrasts that, I might add to the
Biden administration, which had deployment of National Guard around the
Capitol for almost five months after January sixth, and twenty twenty,
(17:20):
there was zero threat to the Capitol. Okay, there was
one riot, everything got cleaned up. It was mostly it
was a mostly peaceful protests. As you know, everything was fine.
They had you know, they had huge fences up. They
acted like DC had to be an armed camp. The
Capitol itself had to be an armed camp for months,
just as show, just as theater. Nobody was doing anything
(17:44):
but one hundred knights of riots in Portland, one hundred
knights of law enforcement officers being attacked, and Portland police
and the state of Oregon won't do a darn thing
to help them. We got to win this fight. It
is critical, all right. Supporting free speech comes in all forms,
and one of those is sponsoring programs like ours, where
(18:04):
the expression of values, politics, and what we feel is
right and wrong with the world can be shared freely.
Every American should be able to speak openly without retribution.
We may not always agree, but we respect the right
to one another's opinion, and those are principles that our
sponsored Puretalk proudly supports. So switch your cell phone company
to my cell phone company, Puretalk, and help those that
(18:26):
support us. You're gonna get Grade five G coverage as
well on an extremely reliable and secure network, and the
price of pure Talk service only reinforces why you should
change from AT and T, Verizon or T Mobile. Monthly
plans start at just twenty five bucks a month. You'll
save a ton of money. Dial pound two fifty say
Clay and Buck to switch to our wireless company, Puretalk,
(18:47):
right now. You'll save it additional fifty percent off your
first month. Dial pound two five zero, say Clay and
Buck to switch to Puretalk. Do it today. Welcome back
in here to Clay and Buck. We're talking about this
showed down over the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Mission. In
these areas of the country run by Democrats, they're acting
(19:09):
like lunatics. That's not a surprise. Oh and I don't
just mean the feral street thugs who are protesting and
throwing rocks and bottles and all this other stuff. The
Democrats in charge the leadership. They're acting like maniacs too
on this stuff, because well, one, they're lying. They're lying
(19:31):
about what's going on. They're lying about their desires when
it comes to law and law and order in these places.
And like I said this, have been saying this all along,
they're completely getting ready for a throwdown over who's going
to be the Democrat nominee. I know that sounds crazy,
(19:51):
and I'm going to tell you this right now. I've
got this bet with Clay. I'm not sure Clay is
listening right now. He's on vacation with this family. I've
got this bet with Clayo over Kamala and whether she's
going to run. I read the Kamala book, and let
me tell you, I've already lost the bed in a sense,
because man, it was brutal. The Kamala Book was my
(20:12):
role as comologist on the show has come at a
steep price. I'll tell you more about that maybe a
little later, but that's what I was out of very
long flights, very long flights to Taiwan, and sure enough
I did my duty. And I think Clay has got
even if I end up getting a stake out of this,
he's gotten the better end of the deal if Kamala
(20:33):
ends up running for president, because man, that book is
awful and it is a reminder of how awful Kamala is,
which is supposed to be the opposite of the intention
of the book. But I actually think it has sealed
her faith that she won't run. But anyway, I'm just
saying I had to fall on my sword on this one.
I think Clay is grinning wherever he is because I
(20:54):
had to read this awful book while he was getting
to do whatever he was doing was better than reading
Kamala's book one hundred days. It felt like it took
me one hundred and seven days to read this thing.
Every day just going through. Oh it was brutal. Okay.
But Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, he is thinking that
(21:15):
maybe he's got Gavin Newsham beat. Maybe if Pritzker throws
his weight around, he can push Neusham to the side.
She doesn't seem like it would be very hard. Here
is Pritzker saying that there is no mayhem. This has
cut fourteen play it.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
She was claiming that the you know, it's mayhem on
the grounds of on the streets of Portland. He's saying that,
you know, Chicago is a war zone. None of that
is true. They're just making this up. And then what
do they do. They fire tear gas and smoke grenades,
and they make it look like it's a war zone,
and they, you know, get people on the ground are
(21:52):
frankly incited to want to do something about it.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Appropriate.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I mean, if you were on the ground and you're
being having tear gas pellets fared at you, as they
have been doing in Broadview, Illinois, you.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Want to react.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
You want something to happen, and unfortunately they're using every
lever at their disposal to keep us from maintaining order.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
The gas lighting here is incredible. I feel like I've
been tear gassed by his words. The gas lighting is insane.
The problem is not the riots. It's the counter riots, right,
it's it's the law enforcement response to the riot that
is there. There are fire in the tear grass around
and everything's fine. No, everything is clearly not fine. And
(22:41):
this pretense that somehow the problem is the is the
solution to the problem. It's just hard to look to
listen to this stuff and not want to start, you know,
cursing and really losing it. I mean, the stuff that
they're saying. I asked you for calls and emails about
this VIP email from Dan. He says, Hey, Buck, I
(23:01):
live in Portland, fortunately not in the area of town
where these demonstrations and riots have been happening. There's been
some kind of violent protests in Portland every weekend since
twenty twenty, when this all started. We've had people injured,
freeways blocked. That's happening on a regular basis. Yeah, it's anarchy,
it's madness. Enough is enough, And also you got it.
(23:23):
You've seen this. I'm sure those of you who are
online you've probably seen this. It is the dumbest argument democrats,
the left. They get in their heads that sometimes some
form of argument they're engaged in is clever and winning.
When everyone looks at them like you're out of your mind.
This is a terrible this is a stupid argument. One
(23:45):
of the things they used to do, and this was
more Trump term one. They'd say, you.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Know, I was I was just in the kitchen washing
the dishes when my five year old said, Daddy, why
is Trump undermining the rule of law and acting in
an unconstitutional fashion that.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Is befitting of a fascist? And it's like, I don't
think that your five year old said that, lib I
don't believe it, right, I don't believe that that's something.
And they think that that's a good argument. They were
doing it over and over again. You know, you'd have
some like reporter of the Washington Post, Like my eight
year old daughter.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Said to me, Daddy, why is Trump undermining third wave
feminism and doing everything in his power to hurt the
fight for equal rights people? I don't think your eight
year old said that either.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
And I don't think that pretending that a child says
something that you want to say enhances its credibility or believability.
Some of you are probably thinking that Buck, what are
you talking about? But others will remember this was a
trend for a while. The Libs were doing this. The
my you know, Toddler suddenly sounds like like Gnoam Chomsky
(24:54):
or something. It just makes no sense. And then the
version of it today is to take a photo in
some city where nothing is happening and say, oh, it's
so dangerous here. I've been in war zones. You could
do that all day. I could have walked around when
I was in mosesl in two thousand and seven, I
could have walked around parts of that city which was
(25:16):
having suicide bombings happening all the time and people getting
you know, ambushed and shot up, and it was a mess.
The place was a mess. But I mean there were
parts of town. I could have gone and gotten a
kebab in broad daylight, been like, look look at the
delicious kebab here in Moses Is this really a war zone? Hmm?
They do that, They do that in Portland, in Chicago.
(25:40):
It's the dumbest argument I've ever seen, but they seem
to think that it's a good argument. Oh, look at
how dangerous it is here. Well, as I said, we
just had our VIP write in and tell us about
it and say, hey, it is crazy downtown. And my
friend Will Chamberlain, who is the senior a senior council
(26:00):
of the Article three project, he has this tweet. I
want to share this one with you. When I say
Portland is an open rebellion against the federal government, this
is what I mean. Federal authorities have to board up
the federal building because the Portland Police wouldn't protect it.
Instead of helping, the city of Portland has issued the
(26:23):
Feds a zoning violation and he's he's going to court
documents here to support this. He says, Portland police has
failed to respond. This is from the court document. Failed
the response. Who calls for assistance and when they have responded,
the response has been delayed. They failed to respond and
exacerbating tensions and leave federal Portland security personnel and civilians
(26:48):
in vulnerable positions. In fact, instead of assisting in the
protection of the Linquist Building, a city of Portland issued
a notice of zoning violation requiring DHS to remove protective
boarding over its windows, exposing the building the future damage.
What else do you have to know? I want to
(27:08):
make very clear what's going on in Portland while you
have jerks like Pritzker and others and whoever you know,
wherever's running Portland. I mean, it's just a bunch of
idiot communists, you know, running around saying there's no big deal.
The City of Portland is allowing a federal building to
be attacked and defaced and vandalized nightly, and they have
(27:34):
the goal to issue a zoning violation to the City
of Portland for boarding up the windows that are broken
nightly by the maniacs that the Portland police refuse to
do anything about. I don't know how it could be
more clear what's going on here. This is not just
(27:57):
an insurrection against government authority by these maniacs on the ground.
This is aiding and abetting that insurrection from the mayor's,
the chiefs of police, and the governors in these states.
And these judges, these hashtag resistance lunatic judges, are just
making the whole thing worse. They sit there and pretend
(28:21):
that they are interpreting what is constitutional pretend that they
care about the law while their only job is to
give top cover to the maniacs until the Supreme Court's
going to step in and slap them all down. But
they don't care. They don't care the damage done to
our faith and the rule of law inness process doesn't
matter to them anything to stop Trump from what he's doing.
(28:44):
Why are they so opposed to this? Think about this
for a moment. They're going to pretend that it's overreach.
Oh my gosh, the National Guard is in our cities,
Oh my gosh. Like I said, five months of completely
unnecessary National Guard deployment in DC after January sixth, Right,
what you're gonna tell me a week? Never mind three
(29:05):
months after January sixth, we needed national Guard and fences
all around our capital. No, it was just Theatrix. It
was just but it was the Biden administration and they
chose to do it, and okay, that was the deal.
They milked that as long as they could. No real
justification for it, no sane rationale for it. Other well,
(29:28):
if there's gonna be another insurrection, bunch of cry babies,
give me a break. But here where there's continuous obstruction
of law enforcement, day in and day out, and the refusal,
the refusal of state and local authorities to help their
federal counterparts, which, let me just say, it is shameful.
It is shameful. And the officers in Portland and the
(29:53):
officers in Chicago who are being told leave your ice
counterparts high and dry, even if they're under physical assault,
even if they are in the midst of a mob,
they should feel ashamed of what their department is ordering
them to do. And honestly, some of them should quit,
you know, honestly, there should be it should go beyond
(30:13):
as well. That's not cool. Although I know there's an
argument he made, well, then you're seeding these places even
more to the maniacs. So it's a tough situation. I
get it. But what's going on here is unsustainable, and
this is why we need to have the authorities, federal
(30:34):
authorities deployed. Here is Tom Holman, who's just the best.
He's the best, simply the best, better than all the rest.
He's amazing. Here he is saying, Oh, there's gonna be
this cut thirteen. There's gonna be National Guard in Portland
very soon. Will we see National Guard in Portland pretty soon?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Well, absolutely, and they've been very successful. They were very
successful in Los Angeles. The first time they were deployed.
I was in Los Angeles when I'm facil for being tagged.
Our officers are being attacked, and thank god President Trump
brought the National Guarden because what he did he saved
Los Angeles and let ICE cro out and continue to
rest public safety threats. To make Los Angeles safer, which
we had done. He sent National Guard to Washington, d C.
(31:14):
Look at the amazing work they did in Washington, d C.
Crime rate was reduced greatly. So it's your right formula.
It's a right mix because National Guard will provide security
to men and women of law enforcement, ICE and CVP
so they can continue doing President Trump promised American people
is going to do.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Needs to happen. Trump and his team cannot back off
this one bit. This is critical, This is essential, and
this is something where you have to have an all
hands on deck approach to it. Tom Homan, I know
he's on mission for this one and they're going to
keep this thing going because they are not allowed to
(31:55):
just negate federal immigration law because they feel like it
in these states and in these cities, these Democrat, these
Democrat enclaves not allowed to do it. Otherwise, we don't
have federal rule of law. We don't have federalle of law.
We don't have federalism. We have these little Democrat quasi
insurrections over and over again. All right, Look, there's not
(32:18):
another not for profit that does more to save the
lives of unborn children than Preborn. Just consider how they
welcome Victoria at one of their clinics. Victoria was scared
and confused and desperate when she first walked into a
planned parenthood clinic. She was handed the abortion pill, but
almost immediately she knew she had made a tragic mistake.
The weight of her great regret was so crushing she
even thought about ending her own life. Her continuing search
(32:41):
letter to a Preborn Network clinic, where truth and clarity
broke through. Their loving staff members gave her immediate care
and helped her save not just her baby's life, but
her own. Victoria got truthful answers about matters related to
her unborn child at Preborn because when a mother hears
that baby's heartbeat, lives are saved. Just twenty eight dollars
provides for that free ultrasound to women like Victoria where
(33:03):
they get to hear the heartbeat of the baby in
their womb. That single gift, that experience of meeting her
unborn child, makes all the difference. This is your chance
to make a difference too. Will you answer the call,
pick up your phone, dial pound two fifty and say baby.
That's pound two five zero, say baby. Or donate securely

(34:09):
Please subscribe today. We've got some excellent, excellent emails and
calls coming in here. Let's go VP from Warner. Bottom line,
if the Biden administration, if the Biden administration hadn't let
millions of illegal aliens into the country, the ice raids
wouldn't be necessary. Democrats own this one. Don't fault Trump
(34:32):
for cleaning up Biden's mess. Well, you know, I'm not
faulting him. I'm I'm all for this. I think this
is really the most important part of Trump's agenda. But
I know what you mean. The Democrats are trying to
fault him for having to deal with the disaster. And yeah,
it's true. Democrats absolutely created mess here. They created the problem.
So let me see here. Next up, caller Mike in Salem.
(35:00):
Let's let's hear from Mike. Go for it.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Please want to help they do.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Mike, I can't really hear you. I know you're calling
it from Oregon. Guys, Let's see if we can get
them on a better line. I couldn't hear. I heard
like he sounded like he was in a colonist from
a submarine or something there. But he was trying to
say that Portland police want to help, but they don't
want to risk their pensions for madiacs with blue hair.
I hear, we always say purple hair, by the way,
because blue hair we don't mean old people. We mean
people that dye their hair crazy colors. So yeah, I
(35:32):
will say, uh, I get it, I get it. I mean,
I'm just telling you. If I were in the NYPD
again and I was told which I was sent there
for a year, you all know the story, and I
was told, hey, federal aidents are in trouble, but you're
not allowed to go and help them, I would have
I would have a really big I mean, my leadership
would certainly hear about how shameful that is, because it
(35:53):
is shameful. I would feel a shame Now. I get it.
You know, you shouldn't have to lose your pension after
twenty years of work because a bunch of maniacs want
to subvert the rule of law. But I am allowed
to say that it's a crappy situation and that people
should at least speak up about that within the chain
of command and say that this is embarrassing because it
(36:14):
is embarrassing. We'll talk a bit about the shutdown coming
up here, and also let me see what else have
I got in. Oh, the Komy indictment. The Komy indictment.
They're all so upset about the Comy indictment. Oh, Chicago crime. Oh,
I want to share something with you. Chicago crime, Taipei,
Taiwan crime. That'll be a discussion we should have here
(36:36):
in a second, because the mayor of Chicago is saying
it's fine in Chicago. Well, what does the city without
with fine levels of crime actually look like. I will
share this observation with you when you come back here
in a second. So teams stick around with the right
back
Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of The Clay Travis N.
Buck Sexton Show. I am back from Taiwan and it
was fascinating play out today on vacation with his family.
Appreciate him holding down the fort last week. The Sexton
Brothers mission to Taiwan was fascinating. We have an interview
(00:21):
with the President of Taiwan that will air in this
program in the third hour where we get into the
threat from China, which is higher than it has ever been,
the threat of invasion. It's really getting tents over there.
That's one of the reasons, the main reason really why
I wanted to go, so I could see for myself
and learn what is going on. Meetings over there, interviews
(00:45):
with the President, the Vice president, the National Security Advisor,
members of the National Security Council, senior leadership. From the
trillion dollar TSMC Corporation that's the market cap of it.
I mean, it's one of the most valuable companies in
the world that makes the chips for your phones, my friends.
It is the only manufacturer of the most advanced chips
(01:09):
that are needed for ai So we talked to TSMC.
I toured a Taiwanese military base discussed preparations for a
possible amphibious invasion. I mean, it was a heck of
a week, I can tell you that, and I'm going
to bring you as much of those insights as I
can of the course of this week clays out, I believe,
(01:31):
until Thursday, so we have some time together over the
next couple of days. But so a lot to talk
about with respect to Taiwan and China. It really does matter.
It is incredibly important. It is something that we as
a country need to make sure we understand and we
avoid a massive war in the east. That's the real
(01:53):
problem here. That's what we're trying to tackle because it
would crash the markets and cause huge problems or global
supply chain for technology. My friends, it is the flash
point right now, and I hope that things stay calm
and peaceful and status quo reigns over there, and we
have a big hand in it. Anyway, I will get
(02:13):
more into that. I know, first and foremost we are
looking here at what's going on at home. On the
home front. We have Oh boy, the shutdown happened. We
are in a shutdown, and it is not in fact,
dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, but it is
interesting to see what Democrats place their priorities on. We
(02:35):
will have the Speaker of the House, number three in
line for the presidency, Speaker Johnson set to join us
also in the third hour of the program. It's a
pre pack third hour, Speaker of the House Representatives, President
of Taiwan. We've got a big show for you, my friends.
So we'll discuss the shutdown negotiations, the latest on that
(02:55):
with the Speaker of the House. So that then brings
me to the showdown over water being called federal protection missions.
I was following this from Afar twelve hours behind in
Oh no, I'm sorry, twelve hours ahead rather in Taiwan,
so watching the news from a distance and in a
(03:17):
different timeframe. But certainly this showdown over the deployment of
these federal protection missions to different American cities is really
a big deal. It matters tremendously for the immigration enforcement mission,
which is central to the Trump administration agenda, but it
(03:37):
also goes to sovereignty and the rule of law as
general principles in this country. Do we have rule of
law or not? Let me just take a step back
here for a moment. Democrats at every turn have insisted
that state governments, wherever they have control, state governments do
nothing to help and if possible, even thwart federal law enforcement.
(04:02):
And they will when they Democrats are in charge of
federal government power, they will refuse help from the state government.
So it is the policy of the Democrat party to
undermine immigration law always at all times. When they have
the federal government they don't want, they will not accept
(04:23):
help from the state. In fact, you will recall under
the disastrous Biden administration, they were telling Texas that Texas,
as a state on the border, was not allowed to
set up barriers to illegal entry. They forced Texas to
remove barriers to make it easier for the ten million plus.
(04:47):
I keep saying plus because I don't maybe it was
twelve million with the Godaways. We don't know. Ten million
plus illegals piling into the country. Under Biden a decision
made by the Democrats to undermine our sovereignty, to be
lawless and reckless as a party, top down, the decision
was made to do this. And now that we have
(05:10):
the Trump administration saying okay, we're actually going to enforce
the law, Democrats try to stop it at every point
at every juncture, and you're seeing this once again. If
they had any actual courage of their convictions, why don't
they just come out and say they're for open borders.
Let's really just get down to this. Democrats do not
(05:33):
want enforcement of our immigration laws. They don't want border security,
they don't want deportations. They want to have the continuous
importation of the third World, of developing countries, of people
who don't speak English, who don't obey our laws. The
first act they commit on our soil is a violation
(05:54):
of our laws and our sovereignty. And they do this
because they view America as something that needs radical change
with Democrats in charge, and the only way they can
achieve that, achieve that is to import non American voters.
Buy the millions, Buy the millions. This is the game plan,
this is what they do. Trump is trying to not
(06:17):
only stop the inflow, but create an outflow of illegals
scent packing as are federal law states, they should be.
Let's be very clear about this. There's a lot of
talk about prioritization, about who can stay and who can go,
and oh my gosh, you know they're sending away this
Grandma who's been here for all these years. If you're
(06:38):
here illegally, you are subject to deportation. That is federal law.
If Democrats don't like that, then Democrats in the House
and the Senate should try to change it. But what
they do is lie and say, oh, no, we're for
immigration laws, but we just want to make sure that
they're never actually enforced. They want to have it both ways.
They want to play this double game. Enough is enough.
(06:59):
So Trump is forcing their hand because what you see
in Portland, what you see in Chicago and the state
actions from Democrats controlling both proves my thesis beyond any doubt.
It is exactly what I have been saying and am
saying to you. That's what's going on. And you see
it with these federal protection missions. Now Portland, which unfortunately
(07:22):
has for a long time been Antifa Stan, Antifa just
gets to show up, run rough shot, Mayhem, anarchy, do
whatever they want. Portland is Antifa Stan, as we know.
And they have these demonstrations at an Immigration and Customs
Enforcement facility, their ice facility there, demonstrations play where they're riots.
(07:45):
You know, they're they're they're impeding law enforcement. They're getting
in the way there, there was the car being rammed
into Ice recently. I mean, they're doing all this crazy
stuff to stop law enforcement from conducting its duties. This
is lawlessness, This is unacceptable. And the fact that state
and local law enforcement, because this is a Democrat enclave,
(08:08):
a Democrat fiefdom, the fact that state and local law
enforcement refuses to assist, refuses to provide backup, is all
the indication that anybody should need that the federal government
needs to double down and send reinforcements. That's what this
Federal Protection Mission is. President Trump, this is cut twelve.
(08:30):
Spoke about the situation in Portland.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Listen, Portland's different. That's a lective, paid insurrection is But
you have a lot of paid people in Chicago. Do
I believe the politicians are under threat because there's no
way somebody can say that things are one to vote
in Chicago. Almost fifty five, I think it was fifty
five people over a short period of times have been
(08:53):
murdered in Chicago, had been shot. Two hundred and twenty
two people over short have been hit, have been wounded,
not died, But fifty five people died over a short piritdemit,
you're telling me there's no city in the world like that.
We're going to straight it down. And I think that Pritzker,
(09:14):
he's not a stupid person. I think that Pritzker's afread
for his life.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Here we have Trump continuing to push on these issues
where I think he not only is right legally and morally,
but also politically because Democrats don't want things to get better.
They stand in the way of progress on bringing the
crime numbers down, murders down in Chicago, and immigration enforcement
(09:41):
in Chicago, which is another big issue right now. They're saying, oh,
these they keep calling them militarized raids. They're they're antagonizing
the New York Times and Chicago Tribute and the Washington Post.
They're constantly inflaming and antagonizing the public, lying to the
public about the nature of these This is what is
(10:01):
lawful for these ice officers to do. They are allowed
to go into areas and enforce our laws. Democrats cannot
get away with this game anymore. We cannot allow this
where they say, well, we support immigration forces, but I
don't like the way they're doing it. They're being really
mean in this area as they do it. What do
(10:24):
they want to have happen here. You've got people that
don't want to go back to their own country, their
actual home country, their country of citizenship, and they are
fighting against it. Sometimes they are resisting arrest, they are
trying to evade law enforcement. Enough is enough. Democrats showed
us who they are underbided. They are an open borders party.
They are a bunch of liars. They cannot win. They
(10:47):
show me one Democrat who can debate this issue with
someone like me, someone who's fired up and knowledgeable and
has been following it for now a decade very closely.
It doesn't exist because they're We've all seen that they
are lying. And that's why in Oregon it's really Portland
(11:07):
is the issue. But within the Oregon state government this
is getting a lot of attention. A bunch of communists,
unfortunately run that place just like they run Portland. And
then Illinois. I feel bad if Pritzker is the governor
of Illinois, but really he's like the viceroy of Chicago
because it's the Chicago political machine that controls the rest
of the state. There's a lot of nice places in
(11:29):
Illinois with plenty of sane people. It's just Chicago is
run by the crazies. And so you have the Mayor
of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, the governor of Illinois, like I say,
the Viceroy of Chicago Pritzker, who also wants to step
up for leadership of the Democrat Party. You have all
of them coming together trying to again inflame the public
(11:52):
and stop Trump from doing what he needs to do
or what he seeks to do here in these places.
And it's just madness. I think people have seen this.
Now you have a federal judge Sunday Night has blocked
the Trump administration from deploying National Guard, or has put
out an order to block the National Guard, I should say.
(12:12):
And now today Illinois has sued the Trump administration over
Guard deployments. And so you got a couple of states
that are saying, no, you're not allowed to help with
enforcement of immigration. You cannot use federal resources in our
state to help with immigration enforcement and also to help
with crime. Not allowed to do it. This is lawlessness.
(12:35):
This is a critical fight. It's one where Trump is
right and has to continue. So I'll give you more
of this. By the way, I want to remind everybody
while these judges are coming forward to say, hey, you.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Can't do this.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
There's no need for this. There was another time when
there was national Guard deployed and there was no need
for it. That Democrats made a very big deal of
deployed the national Guard and it was absurd, absurd how
long they've I'll come back and I'll explain that to
you here in just a second. You know, it was
(13:08):
two years ago tomorrow that terrorists murdered more than twelve
hundred innocent Israelis and took two hundred and fifty hostages.
Today there's a glimmer of hope that the remaining hostages
may be returned. And while the world is focused on
a lot of other events in the news these days,
there's a light that shines in the darkness. Christians in
America tomorrow will boldly stand with Israel by participating in
a growing movement that will be going on for the month.
(13:31):
It has been created by the International Fellowship of Christians
and Jews, and it's called Flags of Fellowship. This country
wide effort, Flags of Fellowship unites churches across America plan
to go over one million Israeli flags across our land
show the world that Israel is not alone. To get
more information about how you can join the Flags of
Fellowship movement. Visit IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org.
(13:56):
You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
We claim your sanity with Clay and find them on
the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. I know
we've got a great audience in the state of Oregon.
So if you and we have people who venture into Portland,
I think most of you who listen to Oregon aren't
in the city center of Portland. I would be willing
to guess. But if you want to call in let
us know what you've seen down there. I definitely want
(14:29):
to hear from you. It has been eight hundred two
ay two two eight. It's you also, if you just
want to weigh in on this issue of these of
these missions that Trump is a federal protection missions, Trump
is deploying our National Guard members on this stuff is important,
it's critical. Actually it needs to happen. One hundred nights
(14:52):
of mayhem at the Portland Ice facility, that's what's being
reported and the police chief of Portland communist. Remember the
communists run all this stuff in these states now, whether
it's Oregon, it's at Portland to the city or Chicago.
They have the police departments, they have the mayor's office,
(15:12):
they've got the governor's mansions, the state legislature. So you're
just talking about craziness top to bottom. But the police
chief has said that he supports what's going on. One
hundred knights of violence. They are throwing bottles at law enforcement.
They are shining or directing lasers into the eyes of
(15:34):
these different law enforcement personnel ice personnel there. Now that's
meant to freak people out and try to hurt their
vision and try to blind them. This is something that
these Antifa scumbags do. But they've got rocks, shattering windows,
they're blocking traffic, they're blocking This is obstruction. They're obstructing
(15:55):
law enforcement, and the mayor and the chief of police
in Portland won't give any backup from the Portland police.
Think about this for a moment. Imagine that there was
a oh here we go. Imagine that there were marauding
white supremacists, which when does that actually happen? Right? Imagine
(16:18):
that there were marauding white supremacists in the streets and
they were breaking things and attacking people, attacking cops, and
a Republican, a Republican were to say, you know what
cops you know, and let's say it was in New York,
NYPD said we're not going to help. Sorry, federal government,
you're on your own with this one. Everybody would say
(16:38):
what the heck is going on? But with Democrats, the
lawlessness is the point. They don't support these immigration laws.
Oh I had mentioned because you have these judges now
that have come forward and said, you can't deploy the
National Guard because we override the president's judgment on whether
it's needed. These judges think that they are in a
(16:58):
position to tell the president of the United States, one
random federal judge you can't defend federal law enforcement with
federal help. Now contrasts that, I might add to the
Biden administration, which had deployment of National Guard around the
Capitol for almost five months after January sixth, and twenty twenty,
(17:20):
there was zero threat to the Capitol. Okay, there was
one riot, everything got cleaned up. It was mostly it
was a mostly peaceful protests. As you know, everything was fine.
They had you know, they had huge fences up. They
acted like DC had to be an armed camp. The
Capitol itself had to be an armed camp for months,
just as show, just as theater. Nobody was doing anything
(17:44):
but one hundred knights of riots in Portland, one hundred
knights of law enforcement officers being attacked, and Portland police
and the state of Oregon won't do a darn thing
to help them. We got to win this fight. It
is critical, all right. Supporting free speech comes in all forms,
and one of those is sponsoring programs like ours, where
(18:04):
the expression of values, politics, and what we feel is
right and wrong with the world can be shared freely.
Every American should be able to speak openly without retribution.
We may not always agree, but we respect the right
to one another's opinion, and those are principles that our
sponsored Puretalk proudly supports. So switch your cell phone company
to my cell phone company, Puretalk, and help those that
(18:26):
support us. You're gonna get Grade five G coverage as
well on an extremely reliable and secure network, and the
price of pure Talk service only reinforces why you should
change from AT and T, Verizon or T Mobile. Monthly
plans start at just twenty five bucks a month. You'll
save a ton of money. Dial pound two fifty say
Clay and Buck to switch to our wireless company, Puretalk,
(18:47):
right now. You'll save it additional fifty percent off your
first month. Dial pound two five zero, say Clay and
Buck to switch to Puretalk. Do it today. Welcome back
in here to Clay and Buck. We're talking about this
showed down over the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Mission. In
these areas of the country run by Democrats, they're acting
(19:09):
like lunatics. That's not a surprise. Oh and I don't
just mean the feral street thugs who are protesting and
throwing rocks and bottles and all this other stuff. The
Democrats in charge the leadership. They're acting like maniacs too
on this stuff, because well, one, they're lying. They're lying
(19:31):
about what's going on. They're lying about their desires when
it comes to law and law and order in these places.
And like I said this, have been saying this all along,
they're completely getting ready for a throwdown over who's going
to be the Democrat nominee. I know that sounds crazy,
(19:51):
and I'm going to tell you this right now. I've
got this bet with Clay. I'm not sure Clay is
listening right now. He's on vacation with this family. I've
got this bet with Clayo over Kamala and whether she's
going to run. I read the Kamala book, and let
me tell you, I've already lost the bed in a sense,
because man, it was brutal. The Kamala Book was my
(20:12):
role as comologist on the show has come at a
steep price. I'll tell you more about that maybe a
little later, but that's what I was out of very
long flights, very long flights to Taiwan, and sure enough
I did my duty. And I think Clay has got
even if I end up getting a stake out of this,
he's gotten the better end of the deal if Kamala
(20:33):
ends up running for president, because man, that book is
awful and it is a reminder of how awful Kamala is,
which is supposed to be the opposite of the intention
of the book. But I actually think it has sealed
her faith that she won't run. But anyway, I'm just
saying I had to fall on my sword on this one.
I think Clay is grinning wherever he is because I
(20:54):
had to read this awful book while he was getting
to do whatever he was doing was better than reading
Kamala's book one hundred days. It felt like it took
me one hundred and seven days to read this thing.
Every day just going through. Oh it was brutal. Okay.
But Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, he is thinking that
(21:15):
maybe he's got Gavin Newsham beat. Maybe if Pritzker throws
his weight around, he can push Neusham to the side.
She doesn't seem like it would be very hard. Here
is Pritzker saying that there is no mayhem. This has
cut fourteen play it.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
She was claiming that the you know, it's mayhem on
the grounds of on the streets of Portland. He's saying that,
you know, Chicago is a war zone. None of that
is true. They're just making this up. And then what
do they do. They fire tear gas and smoke grenades,
and they make it look like it's a war zone,
and they, you know, get people on the ground are
(21:52):
frankly incited to want to do something about it.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Appropriate.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I mean, if you were on the ground and you're
being having tear gas pellets fared at you, as they
have been doing in Broadview, Illinois, you.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Want to react.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
You want something to happen, and unfortunately they're using every
lever at their disposal to keep us from maintaining order.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
The gas lighting here is incredible. I feel like I've
been tear gassed by his words. The gas lighting is insane.
The problem is not the riots. It's the counter riots, right,
it's it's the law enforcement response to the riot that
is there. There are fire in the tear grass around
and everything's fine. No, everything is clearly not fine. And
(22:41):
this pretense that somehow the problem is the is the
solution to the problem. It's just hard to look to
listen to this stuff and not want to start, you know,
cursing and really losing it. I mean, the stuff that
they're saying. I asked you for calls and emails about
this VIP email from Dan. He says, Hey, Buck, I
(23:01):
live in Portland, fortunately not in the area of town
where these demonstrations and riots have been happening. There's been
some kind of violent protests in Portland every weekend since
twenty twenty, when this all started. We've had people injured,
freeways blocked. That's happening on a regular basis. Yeah, it's anarchy,
it's madness. Enough is enough, And also you got it.
(23:23):
You've seen this. I'm sure those of you who are
online you've probably seen this. It is the dumbest argument democrats,
the left. They get in their heads that sometimes some
form of argument they're engaged in is clever and winning.
When everyone looks at them like you're out of your mind.
This is a terrible this is a stupid argument. One
(23:45):
of the things they used to do, and this was
more Trump term one. They'd say, you.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Know, I was I was just in the kitchen washing
the dishes when my five year old said, Daddy, why
is Trump undermining the rule of law and acting in
an unconstitutional fashion that.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Is befitting of a fascist? And it's like, I don't
think that your five year old said that, lib I
don't believe it, right, I don't believe that that's something.
And they think that that's a good argument. They were
doing it over and over again. You know, you'd have
some like reporter of the Washington Post, Like my eight
year old daughter.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Said to me, Daddy, why is Trump undermining third wave
feminism and doing everything in his power to hurt the
fight for equal rights people? I don't think your eight
year old said that either.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
And I don't think that pretending that a child says
something that you want to say enhances its credibility or believability.
Some of you are probably thinking that Buck, what are
you talking about? But others will remember this was a
trend for a while. The Libs were doing this. The
my you know, Toddler suddenly sounds like like Gnoam Chomsky
(24:54):
or something. It just makes no sense. And then the
version of it today is to take a photo in
some city where nothing is happening and say, oh, it's
so dangerous here. I've been in war zones. You could
do that all day. I could have walked around when
I was in mosesl in two thousand and seven, I
could have walked around parts of that city which was
(25:16):
having suicide bombings happening all the time and people getting
you know, ambushed and shot up, and it was a mess.
The place was a mess. But I mean there were
parts of town. I could have gone and gotten a
kebab in broad daylight, been like, look look at the
delicious kebab here in Moses Is this really a war zone? Hmm?
They do that, They do that in Portland, in Chicago.
(25:40):
It's the dumbest argument I've ever seen, but they seem
to think that it's a good argument. Oh, look at
how dangerous it is here. Well, as I said, we
just had our VIP write in and tell us about
it and say, hey, it is crazy downtown. And my
friend Will Chamberlain, who is the senior a senior council
(26:00):
of the Article three project, he has this tweet. I
want to share this one with you. When I say
Portland is an open rebellion against the federal government, this
is what I mean. Federal authorities have to board up
the federal building because the Portland Police wouldn't protect it.
Instead of helping, the city of Portland has issued the
(26:23):
Feds a zoning violation and he's he's going to court
documents here to support this. He says, Portland police has
failed to respond. This is from the court document. Failed
the response. Who calls for assistance and when they have responded,
the response has been delayed. They failed to respond and
exacerbating tensions and leave federal Portland security personnel and civilians
(26:48):
in vulnerable positions. In fact, instead of assisting in the
protection of the Linquist Building, a city of Portland issued
a notice of zoning violation requiring DHS to remove protective
boarding over its windows, exposing the building the future damage.
What else do you have to know? I want to
(27:08):
make very clear what's going on in Portland while you
have jerks like Pritzker and others and whoever you know,
wherever's running Portland. I mean, it's just a bunch of
idiot communists, you know, running around saying there's no big deal.
The City of Portland is allowing a federal building to
be attacked and defaced and vandalized nightly, and they have
(27:34):
the goal to issue a zoning violation to the City
of Portland for boarding up the windows that are broken
nightly by the maniacs that the Portland police refuse to
do anything about. I don't know how it could be
more clear what's going on here. This is not just
(27:57):
an insurrection against government authority by these maniacs on the ground.
This is aiding and abetting that insurrection from the mayor's,
the chiefs of police, and the governors in these states.
And these judges, these hashtag resistance lunatic judges, are just
making the whole thing worse. They sit there and pretend
(28:21):
that they are interpreting what is constitutional pretend that they
care about the law while their only job is to
give top cover to the maniacs until the Supreme Court's
going to step in and slap them all down. But
they don't care. They don't care the damage done to
our faith and the rule of law inness process doesn't
matter to them anything to stop Trump from what he's doing.
(28:44):
Why are they so opposed to this? Think about this
for a moment. They're going to pretend that it's overreach.
Oh my gosh, the National Guard is in our cities,
Oh my gosh. Like I said, five months of completely
unnecessary National Guard deployment in DC after January sixth, Right,
what you're gonna tell me a week? Never mind three
(29:05):
months after January sixth, we needed national Guard and fences
all around our capital. No, it was just Theatrix. It
was just but it was the Biden administration and they
chose to do it, and okay, that was the deal.
They milked that as long as they could. No real
justification for it, no sane rationale for it. Other well,
(29:28):
if there's gonna be another insurrection, bunch of cry babies,
give me a break. But here where there's continuous obstruction
of law enforcement, day in and day out, and the refusal,
the refusal of state and local authorities to help their
federal counterparts, which, let me just say, it is shameful.
It is shameful. And the officers in Portland and the
(29:53):
officers in Chicago who are being told leave your ice
counterparts high and dry, even if they're under physical assault,
even if they are in the midst of a mob,
they should feel ashamed of what their department is ordering
them to do. And honestly, some of them should quit,
you know, honestly, there should be it should go beyond
(30:13):
as well. That's not cool. Although I know there's an
argument he made, well, then you're seeding these places even
more to the maniacs. So it's a tough situation. I
get it. But what's going on here is unsustainable, and
this is why we need to have the authorities, federal
(30:34):
authorities deployed. Here is Tom Holman, who's just the best.
He's the best, simply the best, better than all the rest.
He's amazing. Here he is saying, Oh, there's gonna be
this cut thirteen. There's gonna be National Guard in Portland
very soon. Will we see National Guard in Portland pretty soon?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Well, absolutely, and they've been very successful. They were very
successful in Los Angeles. The first time they were deployed.
I was in Los Angeles when I'm facil for being tagged.
Our officers are being attacked, and thank god President Trump
brought the National Guarden because what he did he saved
Los Angeles and let ICE cro out and continue to
rest public safety threats. To make Los Angeles safer, which
we had done. He sent National Guard to Washington, d C.
(31:14):
Look at the amazing work they did in Washington, d C.
Crime rate was reduced greatly. So it's your right formula.
It's a right mix because National Guard will provide security
to men and women of law enforcement, ICE and CVP
so they can continue doing President Trump promised American people
is going to do.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Needs to happen. Trump and his team cannot back off
this one bit. This is critical, This is essential, and
this is something where you have to have an all
hands on deck approach to it. Tom Homan, I know
he's on mission for this one and they're going to
keep this thing going because they are not allowed to
(31:55):
just negate federal immigration law because they feel like it
in these states and in these cities, these Democrat, these
Democrat enclaves not allowed to do it. Otherwise, we don't
have federal rule of law. We don't have federalle of law.
We don't have federalism. We have these little Democrat quasi
insurrections over and over again. All right, Look, there's not
(32:18):
another not for profit that does more to save the
lives of unborn children than Preborn. Just consider how they
welcome Victoria at one of their clinics. Victoria was scared
and confused and desperate when she first walked into a
planned parenthood clinic. She was handed the abortion pill, but
almost immediately she knew she had made a tragic mistake.
The weight of her great regret was so crushing she
even thought about ending her own life. Her continuing search
(32:41):
letter to a Preborn Network clinic, where truth and clarity
broke through. Their loving staff members gave her immediate care
and helped her save not just her baby's life, but
her own. Victoria got truthful answers about matters related to
her unborn child at Preborn because when a mother hears
that baby's heartbeat, lives are saved. Just twenty eight dollars
provides for that free ultrasound to women like Victoria where
(33:03):
they get to hear the heartbeat of the baby in
their womb. That single gift, that experience of meeting her
unborn child, makes all the difference. This is your chance
to make a difference too. Will you answer the call,
pick up your phone, dial pound two fifty and say baby.
That's pound two five zero, say baby. Or donate securely

(34:09):
Please subscribe today. We've got some excellent, excellent emails and
calls coming in here. Let's go VP from Warner. Bottom line,
if the Biden administration, if the Biden administration hadn't let
millions of illegal aliens into the country, the ice raids
wouldn't be necessary. Democrats own this one. Don't fault Trump
(34:32):
for cleaning up Biden's mess. Well, you know, I'm not
faulting him. I'm I'm all for this. I think this
is really the most important part of Trump's agenda. But
I know what you mean. The Democrats are trying to
fault him for having to deal with the disaster. And yeah,
it's true. Democrats absolutely created mess here. They created the problem.
So let me see here. Next up, caller Mike in Salem.
(35:00):
Let's let's hear from Mike. Go for it.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Please want to help they do.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Mike, I can't really hear you. I know you're calling
it from Oregon. Guys, Let's see if we can get
them on a better line. I couldn't hear. I heard
like he sounded like he was in a colonist from
a submarine or something there. But he was trying to
say that Portland police want to help, but they don't
want to risk their pensions for madiacs with blue hair.
I hear, we always say purple hair, by the way,
because blue hair we don't mean old people. We mean
people that dye their hair crazy colors. So yeah, I
(35:32):
will say, uh, I get it, I get it. I mean,
I'm just telling you. If I were in the NYPD
again and I was told which I was sent there
for a year, you all know the story, and I
was told, hey, federal aidents are in trouble, but you're
not allowed to go and help them, I would have
I would have a really big I mean, my leadership
would certainly hear about how shameful that is, because it
(35:53):
is shameful. I would feel a shame Now. I get it.
You know, you shouldn't have to lose your pension after
twenty years of work because a bunch of maniacs want
to subvert the rule of law. But I am allowed
to say that it's a crappy situation and that people
should at least speak up about that within the chain
of command and say that this is embarrassing because it
(36:14):
is embarrassing. We'll talk a bit about the shutdown coming
up here, and also let me see what else have
I got in. Oh, the Komy indictment. The Komy indictment.
They're all so upset about the Comy indictment. Oh, Chicago crime. Oh,
I want to share something with you. Chicago crime, Taipei,
Taiwan crime. That'll be a discussion we should have here
(36:36):
in a second, because the mayor of Chicago is saying
it's fine in Chicago. Well, what does the city without
with fine levels of crime actually look like. I will
share this observation with you when you come back here
in a second. So teams stick around with the right
back
