Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the C and B twenty
four to seven podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Sitting in for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton today is.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Sean Parnell, host of the daily podcast Battleground, and a
best selling author. Welcome to the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show. On this amazing and glorious New Year's Eve, folks,
we are on the precipice of twenty twenty five, and
(00:29):
let me tell you something, twenty twenty four was a
year for the history books.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Folks.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
We have got a huge three hours on tap for
you here on the Clay and Bucks Show. We're going
to talk about Trump's historic victory and what it means
to be America. First, we've got Brian Dean Wright. He's
a former CIA operations officer, host of the Right Report
daily podcast. He's on deck an hour two speaker of
the House Insanity and why this fiasco could be a
(00:59):
disaster if Republicans don't get their act together, how the
Democrats are the real threat to democracy, and the Trump cadet,
and everything that you need to know in between. My
name is Sean Parnell. I'm in this chair for Klay
Travis and Buck Sexton in America. It is an honor
to be here. You know, my father listened to Rush
(01:23):
Limball all the time growing up, I mean, driving me
around to sports, I'd hear Rush this and Rush that.
I'd hear his voice on the radio. At family get togethers,
I'd hear my dad talking to my uncles and my
aunts about what Rush said during the week. And as
(01:44):
a kid with really no exposure to politics at all,
I had exposure to Rush Limball through my father. And I'm,
of course, like, who the heck is this Rush guy?
And who names their kid Rush? This is what I
was thinking as a kid. But now, of course I
(02:05):
know who Rush Limbaugh is, as does the entire country
and indeed the entire world. You know, Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton really had the torch passed to them by
Rush Limbaugh. And now here I find myself in this
chair filling in for Clay and Buck on Rush Limball's
(02:29):
old time slot. And I have to tell you all, America,
I never thought that I would be here. I never
thought I would survive Afghanistan, let alone hosts the biggest
radio show in the nation. And so when I say
it's an honor to be here, folks, I really do
truly mean it from the bottom of my heart. My
(02:53):
journey to be here in this spot was a winding
one very unexp I did stepping stones along the way,
and I think it all started with me joining the
military after September eleventh, our country was attacked. Now, I
don't come from a long line of military generals or
(03:16):
tough as nails non commissioned officers from my family. I'm
just a city boy from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And after we
were attacked on nine to eleven, I remember feeling to
myself just two very clear emotions. I was angry, probably
angrier than I've ever been, and I was afraid. And
(03:40):
I never thought that this country could be attacked in
the way that it had been. In that moment, I knew.
I felt like I knew, at least for me, exactly
why God had put me on this earth, and that
was to serve something greater than myself. That was to
put the uniform on the military. As a kid in
(04:02):
my early twenties, I just believed, and call it naive,
that with that American flag on my shoulder and the
might and power of the US military at my back
that I could accomplish any mission. Heck, I could conquer
the world if I wanted to. And ultimately I wanted
to take the fight to the enemy. I wanted to
strike back at those who hit us in the great City.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Of New York.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And I remember doing everything I could to train for Afghanistan.
Went to airborne school where the Army taught me how
to jump out of perfectly good airplanes that's the phrase.
And went to ranger school so I could be the
best leader that I could for my troops, and then
wanted to be in the infantry so I could be
on the front lines of America's collective response. And boy
(04:51):
did I find myself on the front lines of America's
collective response. And what it really was, folks, was a
lesson and be careful what you wish for, because I
wanted to close with and destroy the enemy, which was
the infantry's mission, and we got an opportunity to.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Do that, Folks.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
All my life, I've had a cynical relationship with my faith.
I'm Catholic, I'm a believer, and though this isn't a
religious show, but just bear with me here, I've struggled
with my faith and the day before I was supposed
to go to Afghanistan, my grandfather passed away. And my
(05:29):
grandfather was like a second father figure to me. Lifelong
Union Democrat, worked a second job as an usher here
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at Forbes Field at three Rivers Stadium,
PNC Park, hardest working guy I ever met. Twenty four
hours before we left, he passed away, and it hurt,
(05:50):
and I remember asking myself, Gosh, why are you doing
this to me right before I've got to be a
leader from my troops in Afghanistan. And I remember talking
my battalion commander. He said, Sean, go home, be with
your family, because when you get to Afghanistan and those
bullets start flying, your troops are gonna need you. So
drove down, went to my grandfather's funeral. He wore a
(06:13):
Saint Christopher metal every single day of his life. Was
the kind of guy that would do the Sign of
the Cross when he'd pass a Catholic church in the
car and I'd be driving with him wondering what he
was doing. He was an old school guy like that.
So my grandmother, twelve hours before I deployed to Afghanistan,
takes this Saint Christopher medal and presses it into my
(06:33):
hand and says, Sean, he would have wanted you to
have this. It will protect you when you're in Afghanistan.
And I was blown away. I'm wearing it right now.
Almost has a legendary quality in my family. And so
flash forward to Afghanistan. On the Afghan Pakistan border June tenth,
two thousand and six. My platoon is surrounded, were outmanned.
(06:57):
We're out gunned, outnumbered ten to one. I was knocked
unconscious by a air burst mortar and I woke up
in a smoldering hole with shrap and the wall around me.
One of my soldiers pulled me up into the sitting position.
But before I even woke up, I just remember the
entire world being black. I could hear the shot in
(07:19):
the shell, but I couldn't see anything. I was completely
out of it. And as I laid there on the battlefield,
not fully awake but not fully out, I felt something
that really brought me back. I feel like I was
dying and I didn't realize that at the time, but
I had fractured my skull, had a cerebral spinal fluid bleak,
(07:39):
ended up having clear fluid leaking out of my nose
and my ears. But I felt something in America. You
were going to think that I am crazy, And if
you do, that's okay, because at first I thought that
I was crazy too. I felt like it was my
grandfather right there with me telling me to get back
into the fight, to wake up. And so I did,
(08:05):
and the day came slowly back to me that day,
and I remember waking up to seeing almost every single
member of my peltoon wounded, some twice, some three times.
But really it was my grandfather that I think pushed
me back into the fight to take care of my troops,
just like my grandmother told me that he would. And
(08:30):
I survived somehow miraculously by the grace of God. Call
it luck, call it fate, call it whatever you want.
And as my family is celebrating Christmas, I'm married. I've
got an amazing wife. Her name's Commander Melanie. I've got
five amazing kids. Yes, it's crazy. Conversation for another time.
And I remember turning to my wife two days ago
and saying, I can't believe I survived what I did
(08:52):
in Afghanistan. I tend to think about that experience more
over the holidays.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't know why I said.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I said to her, this is almost surreal to me.
And believe me when I tell you, folks, it's weird
to have your own life seems surreal to you. And
so you flash forward to today. And this is why
I say it's unbelievable that I'm sitting here in this chair,
because eighteen years ago, when I got back out of
(09:20):
the military, I was broke and I was broken, bought
my body physically broken. I came out of the military.
I needed speech therapy, I couldn't talk. I had a
horrible concussion. I had to go through rehabilitation for darn
near twelve months. So believe me, this is what I
(09:42):
mean when I say it's crazy that I'm sitting here,
because for all intents and purposes, I should not be.
You come back to this country broke and broken, and
all of a sudden, you're sitting in on the biggest
radio show in the country, one that a timeslot that
Rush Limbaugh used to host, and now Klay Travison Bucks said,
these are all three men legends, and so boy do
(10:04):
I feel blessed. And let me tell you, I've been
on the stage now with President Trump over the last year,
in the year of twenty twenty four, all five times
he came to Western Pennsylvania, and every single time I
get up there on the crowd, I get up there
(10:25):
in front of the crowd and I say to people,
ladies and gentlemen and patriots, do you believe that we
are in a spiritual fight for the heart and soul
of this country?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
The crowd just goes wild.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I'm like you all believe that there is good and
evil in this world, and the crowd just goes wild.
It resonates with them, and it resonates with me too.
I used to be cynical about my faith, and now
I'm not because it's led me along this winding path
to write where I am today. And when you talk
(11:04):
about all of the crazy, crazy things that we have
experienced in this country over the last year, and boy,
let me tell you, we're going to talk about them
over the next three hours. Trump's mugshot an assassination attempt.
I was at that rally too. I'm going to tell
you about that here in a second close call in Afghanistan.
(11:27):
Never thought I'd have a close call here at home,
but I'm gonna talk to you about that here in
a minute. So, yes, America, I do believe that there
is a spiritual war going on in our world. And yes,
I do believe that America is ground zero for that fight.
(11:50):
And yes, I do believe that God works in mysterious ways.
We're going to talk about that in so much more
or when we come back here on the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. So you stay right there, folks,
shoot three hours on tap stick with us, and we'll
(12:11):
be right back. I'm Sean Parnell in the chair for
Clay and Buck. Welcome back to the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. My name is Sean Parnell, combat veteran
New York Times bestselling author. But Folks, more than both
of those things, I am a humble servant of this country.
(12:32):
I love this country. I don't need a uniform or
rank or a title to love my country and continue
to serve it. And let me tell you, I've heard
the phrase. I mentioned it in the first block. God
works in mysterious ways. And most of the time, actually
all of the time. I really hate it when people
(12:54):
say that to me, because most of the time people say, oh,
I just go through this terrible divorce and someone's says, well, Sean, listen, God,
God works in mysterious ways. I'm like, well, darn it,
this really stinks. Why is he doing this to me?
But here's the thing with all of this. It's true
sometimes God does things, but in the moment we don't
(13:16):
really understand why. And so all this talk about a
spirit of a fight, You're probably asking yourself, Okay, Sean,
get to the point, what are you talking about. What
I'm talking about is this Donald Trump. He is the
most electrifying political figure in my lifetime, and all cards
on the table, folks. I have been a Trump guy
since he's come down the golden escalator in twenty sixteen.
(13:40):
But I kind of believe that God put Donald Trump
right where he was supposed to be. I'm not saying
that Donald Trump is the chosen one or anything like that,
but think about all the stuff that this guy has
had to go through since he's come down that golden escalator,
(14:01):
whether it's two bogus impeachments, the fake January sixth Committee,
remember the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, the election interference in
twenty twenty. Yeah, we know that there were shenanigans that
happened in twenty twenty. Can we talk about twenty twenty
for a second. Even the Democrats know that the twenty
twenty election was probably a little shading. Now when you
(14:22):
have sixty plus million popular votes for the Democrats in
twenty twelve, sixty plus million and twenty sixteen eighty one
million for Joe Biden, a man who could barely speak,
in twenty twenty, and then down around sixty five million
for Kamala Harrison twenty four So the Democrats are kind
of like, wait a second, something ain't right here.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But they're right. They're right. Something wasn't right.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
And look, we don't know what that was, but we
do know is that there I think was some nefarious
stuff that happened in twenty twenty. We'm not going to
get into all of that. But at the time, and
this is personal to me because I had my name
on the ballot with President Trump in Western Pennsylvania and
he threw my hat in the arena to run for office,
(15:08):
I watched first hand all the shenanigans that they tried
to pull. But had they just let things happen? The Democrats,
the deep state, the intelligence community, call them whatever you want.
But had they just let twenty twenty happen and let
Donald Trump win, guess what he'd be on his way
out of office. And oh, by the way, he would
(15:30):
have had a Democrat controlled House, a Democrat controlled Senate.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Would he have been able to get things done? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Probably, But would it have been more difficult? Absolutely? But
guess what, folks. They didn't do that, And so now
Donald Trump is back.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Won an historic mandate.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
He won the electoral College, he won the popular vote,
he won state governments all across the country, and with
a majority on the Supreme Court. Guess what, Democrats, We
have a mandate now and in January of twenty twenty five,
we are coming for you. So stay tuned next for
what it means to be America. First, stay right there,
got an amazing show for you. I'm Sean Parnell in
(16:15):
the chair for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. All right,
all right, all right, we are back here on the
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
My name is Sean Parnell.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I'm in the chair for Buck and Clay, and it's
great to be here, folks. We've been talking about the
fact that there is. In fact, at least, I believe
there is a spiritual war happening here in America, and
ground zero for that fight is America. And when you
think about it, it makes sense. We are the world's
(16:48):
loan superpower. When there was an earthquake in Pakistan in
two thousand and five that killed eighty thousand people, we
diverted combat missions. You h forty seven Chamook helicopters diverted
combat missions from Afghanistan to save people in Pakistan.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
They called for our help.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
We were there when a tsunami killed hundreds of thousands
of people in Southeast Asia. Those ailing nations didn't call Iran,
they didn't call China. They called the United States of America,
and we showed up and we saved lives.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
So it makes sense that the ground zero for this
spiritual fight would be here, as the world's loan superpower.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Of course it would be.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And so I mentioned earlier that I have been on
stage with President Trump every time he's come to Western Pennsylvania,
and that includes on July thirteenth, the Fateful Day, when
someone tried to take President Trump's life. And I'm gonna
tell you a little bit about that day, and it
(18:03):
was strange. From the moment that I showed up at
the rally, I could sense that something just wasn't right.
A couple things that stood out to me that day
was the weather. It was oppressively hot, hotest day in
western Pennsylvania on memory, not a cloud in the sky
in zero wind. And you know probably thinking, well, you're
(18:26):
a combat veteran, you might be a little paranoid, and.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You would be right, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I have a little paranoid And that's what I chalked
it up to as well, like come on, Sean, calm down,
it's gonna be fine. Look there's two sniper teams. They've
got security. But still call it my combat veteran spidey sense.
I could sense that something was off. And I remember
meeting with President Trump, probably twenty five minutes before it happened.
(18:54):
My wife, Commander Melanie, and I were there and we're
standing there with Missus Fogel. Now Missus fogel Son Mark
Fogel has been languishing in a Russian prison for three
years under Biden, who's done absolutely nothing for his release.
And I thought to myself, well, we got to introduce
Missus Fogel, Mark's mother to President Trump, and I'm standing
(19:17):
right there with both of them, and Missus Fogel, who
is in her nineties, says to President Trump, please help
me free my son. And President Trump, holding both of
her little hands, looks at Missus Fogel and he says,
we will get your son back. And she started crying
(19:40):
happy tears right there. And I remember going back out
and sitting in the crowd. We're right in the front row.
So if you're looking at the television and watching this
rally on TV, you've got President Trump at the podium.
Both my wife and I and Missus Fogel were directly
to the President's left. And so President well, first of all,
(20:00):
the music starts blairing. This heavy metal song starts blair
and Missus Vogel comes out of the tent because she
stayed a little bit longer to talk to President Trump.
And this ninety year old woman has tears in her
eyes and she's dancing to kid rock like it was
the craziest thing I've ever seen. She comes she sits
down right next to me. President Trump comes out shortly thereafter,
walks right down that little red carpet looks at me,
(20:23):
missus Fogel and my wife points right at us and
executes a left face and walks to the podium and
starts addressing the crowd in typical President Trump fashion, and
he goes off script very early, which for President Trump
is not something typically that he does. And he goes,
(20:43):
throw my favorite chart up there. Oh, I love this chart.
It's the best charge of the world. So he throws
the chart up there, it's the immigration chart, and he
turns his head and.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He points to it and he says, is he that
line right there? I love that line, this lowest point
of immigrats.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
And he's in the crowd is laughing, going wild, and
Trump turns around and makes a couple of jokes, and
all of a sudden, I felt something and something that
was not dissimilar to what I felt on that stage
speaking before President Trump came out and unbeknounced to me.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
While I'm on.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
That stage, the flag got twisted up into a knot
while I was speaking, and I didn't know it at
the time, but I knew it after because everybody in
the crowd was texting and sending me pictures, and that
twisted American flag looked like an eagle, looked like an angel.
Some people said it was an omen. Some people said
(21:40):
it was a religious symbol.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I don't know. I didn't even know what was happening.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
But what I felt up there on the stage was
the same thing that I felt on June ten, two
thousand and six, in Afghanistan, when I felt my grandfather
with me. I felt it there on that stage. And
so I'm standing there in the crowd feeling that something off.
And President Trump gestures to the chart the second time,
(22:05):
and he turns his head and just as he his
head cranes to look at that chart, I hear shots
ring out and I see President Trump grab his ear,
and folks, we are twenty feet from him, bullets crack
right over our head. See President Trump grab his ear.
Secret Service is on him a second later. And let
(22:27):
me tell you something. I hadn't been to combat in
eighteen years at that point, and the training took over
in seconds. I had my wife on the ground, try
to get missus fulgo on the ground. She's sitting there
with her person in the lap.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
She's like, no, I'm completely fine. She was a rock
in the storm.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
So I have my wife on the ground and she's
looking at me with these big blue eyes, and the
Secret Service whisked President Trump away, and I'm in combat mode,
thinking to myself, well, holy smokes, there are forty thousand
people here. How are we going to get these people
out with one exit point? And the combat leader in
me immediately starts trying to ascertain the position of the shooter,
(23:07):
because you got to figure out where the sniper is
coming from, having been under sniper fire before, to determine
whether or not you can move people.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And if you can move people, how do.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You utilize cover and concealment to get forty thousand people
out of there? These were the things that were on
my mind. And immediately I said building because that building.
Let me tell you, folks, that building was a stone's
throw away. The satellite imagery simply does not do it justice.
(23:38):
It was right there. So how Matthew Crooks defeated the
premier executive protection agency in the world in the United
States Secret Service? A twenty year old kid that didn't
even make his rifle team get up on a building
with one hundred and thirty yard shot to the President
of the United States, clear line of sight, no law
enforcement on the building is beyond me. But even in
the chaos of the moment, as people were trying to
(23:59):
figure out what was going on, I said to myself,
there's no way a shooter could be on that building
because the Secret Service would absolutely have it on lockdown.
But I was completely wrong. The other thought was maybe
somebody was on the water tower. But I immediately wrote
off the water tower because it was far away, and
(24:21):
the moments that I heard that the crack of the rifle,
I could tell it was a two two three or
five five six serve. In sixteen months in combats, you
can recognize caliber of different guns and rifles and all
this stuff, and I just knew it was a two
two three or five five six. And I knew that
the shot from the water tower would be too far.
I know people that could make that shot, but it
would be a miracle even for them, and so if
(24:44):
the trajectory was all off as well, So I immediately
wrote off the water tower. But one of the things
that I will never forget his Corey Comparatour and his family,
and the sounds of their voices as they tried to
wrap their mind around what had just happened. Corey and
(25:05):
his family were sitting directly behind my wife and I
and Missus Vogel, and the bleachers just behind us. I
also was trying to wrap my mind around the two
other citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who were wounded
that day. So I'm always careful when I say that
(25:25):
God was involved that day, because I imagine that Corey's family
probably doesn't feel like that, and I imagine that the
families of those who were wounded probably don't feel like
that either. But I'm telling you, this country is exceptional
for so many reasons. Yes, we have a thriving and
(25:48):
booming economy. Yes, small businesses are the backbones of those economy.
Yes we have the best military on the face of
the planet. All of that is true. But what makes
this country truly exceptional is the hearts of each and
every American who's listening to this show right now, who
believes in the exceptional nature of this country. Those who
(26:10):
believe that America is a shining city upon a hill
are what make this country exceptional. And I saw that
reflected in the crowd that day, Because normally, when there's
an active shooter, people panic, and rightfully so. Normally, when
there's an active shooter, people run and there could be
(26:32):
a stampede and more people are hurt. Because of that stampede,
forty thousand America First Patriots packed in to watch President Trump.
Boy that situation was right before disaster, but that did
not happen, folks. After the shooting, people were stuck in
(26:54):
that rally for hours. They locked it down and again
understandably so, trying to find the shooter, figure out if
there was more than one. At the time, we didn't know.
But those America First Patriots, the ones that we evacuated
that day, the ones that were heat casualties that day,
worked for hours after the fact trying to save those people.
(27:16):
Not a single one of those people brought attention to
their own injuries or their own fears. Not a single
one of those people put themselves first. Every single person
that I talked to, every single one said, as President Trump, okay,
the man, the men, the people who were shot. Are
(27:37):
they okay? That's all I want to know. Are they safe?
Not a single America First Patriot in that crowd put
themselves first. And I'm here to tell you, America that
that is what makes this country exceptional. It's all of
(27:57):
you and your hearts to serve one another. You know,
I say often that the pathway to a meaningful life
is paved through acts of service your fellow men and women.
And boy did I see it on jent July thirteenth,
at the height of what could have been one of
(28:17):
the most horrific days. Certainly was one of the most
darkest days and certainly in my life, maybe even in
American history. But the people in that crowd or what
made that crowd great. People in that crowd are what
makes this country exception. So we come back, we kind
(28:42):
of talk about the potential speaker insanity that is just
around the corner on Friday. I'm gonna break all of
that down for you when we come back on the
Clay and Buck Show. I'm Sean Parnell and the chair
for the big guys Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Show
is a go. I'm in the chair for the guys.
My name is Sean Parnell, combat, veteran, humble servant of America.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Folks, do you know what's going on with the Speaker
of the House. I hope you know what. It's the holidays.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
You might not be because this is some crazy parliamentary
process stuff. So Trump a couple days ago endorsed Speaker
Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House, and Speaker Johnson
came out last night and said that he has the
votes for Speaker of the House. And let me just
tell you, folks, many of you are probably rolling your eyes,
(29:34):
Ugh Rhinos. Speakers of the House. Republicans, they never wield power.
When they have it, they always screw it up, and
you would be right. And I tell you I do
not envy a Republican Speaker of the House. And I
have a theory about this, and it's my theory of
we the people versus they the people. I contend that
(29:56):
Republicans are the party of we the people, which is
what our founders always intended. In other words, a Republican
congressman from Pittsburgh is very different from a Republican congressman
from southern Florida is very different from a Republican congressman
from southern California. Now why because they have different constituencies,
(30:19):
different geographic locations, different needs of the people they represent.
So when Republicans are in power and they're trying to
whip votes, it's like herding cats. Every single time, and
it leaves we the people thinking what the heck is
going on. The Democrats are very very different. The Democrats
are very top down authoritarian. You see, they are the
(30:44):
party of they, the people. They're talking points are put
out by four people. Most of the time. It's Chuck Schumer,
it's Nancy Pelosi, it's Barack Obama. Maybe it's Joe Biden's team.
If Joe Biden is conscious on that day, and those
talking points are given to the media, and those talking
points are given to members of the House and the Senate,
then they regurgitate those same talking points all the time.
(31:08):
That's why you hear, you know, just put right off
the top of my head, the media and the Democrats
saying about Trump in his first term, the walls are
closing in. Oh boy, if the walls are closing in
on Trumpet, I can't believe that the walls are finally
closing in. See, they're the party of they, the people.
And this is precisely why a Democrat congressman from western Pennsylvania,
(31:30):
from Pittsburgh, Democrat congressman from southern Florida, a Democrat congressman
from southern California, they are all exactly the same. They
are like the borg on Star Trek, and I can
see my wife and five children collectively rolling their eyes
because of a Star Trek reference. But it's on point.
(31:53):
We the people, They the people. We're gonna get into
the math here of the speaker in sanity in just
a second. If we're gonna talk about that, Mike Johnson
is really truly on a razor's edge here. And we're
gonna also talk about the Democrats and how they're the
real threat to democracy. Folks, we got so much more
(32:16):
our two of Clay and Buck on tap up next.
I'm Sean Parnell. I'm in the chair. Stay with us
because our two is gonna be great. I'll see you
all on the other side. Lay Travis and Buck Sexton
(32:39):
on the front lines of truth.
Welcome to today's edition of the C and B twenty
four to seven podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Sitting in for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton today is.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Sean Parnell, host of the daily podcast Battleground, and a
best selling author. Welcome to the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show. On this amazing and glorious New Year's Eve, folks,
we are on the precipice of twenty twenty five, and
(00:29):
let me tell you something, twenty twenty four was a
year for the history books.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Folks.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
We have got a huge three hours on tap for
you here on the Clay and Bucks Show. We're going
to talk about Trump's historic victory and what it means
to be America. First, we've got Brian Dean Wright. He's
a former CIA operations officer, host of the Right Report
daily podcast. He's on deck an hour two speaker of
the House Insanity and why this fiasco could be a
(00:59):
disaster if Republicans don't get their act together, how the
Democrats are the real threat to democracy, and the Trump cadet,
and everything that you need to know in between. My
name is Sean Parnell. I'm in this chair for Klay
Travis and Buck Sexton in America. It is an honor
to be here. You know, my father listened to Rush
(01:23):
Limball all the time growing up, I mean, driving me
around to sports, I'd hear Rush this and Rush that.
I'd hear his voice on the radio. At family get togethers,
I'd hear my dad talking to my uncles and my
aunts about what Rush said during the week. And as
(01:44):
a kid with really no exposure to politics at all,
I had exposure to Rush Limball through my father. And I'm,
of course, like, who the heck is this Rush guy?
And who names their kid Rush? This is what I
was thinking as a kid. But now, of course I
(02:05):
know who Rush Limbaugh is, as does the entire country
and indeed the entire world. You know, Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton really had the torch passed to them by
Rush Limbaugh. And now here I find myself in this
chair filling in for Clay and Buck on Rush Limball's
(02:29):
old time slot. And I have to tell you all, America,
I never thought that I would be here. I never
thought I would survive Afghanistan, let alone hosts the biggest
radio show in the nation. And so when I say
it's an honor to be here, folks, I really do
truly mean it from the bottom of my heart. My
(02:53):
journey to be here in this spot was a winding
one very unexp I did stepping stones along the way,
and I think it all started with me joining the
military after September eleventh, our country was attacked. Now, I
don't come from a long line of military generals or
(03:16):
tough as nails non commissioned officers from my family. I'm
just a city boy from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And after we
were attacked on nine to eleven, I remember feeling to
myself just two very clear emotions. I was angry, probably
angrier than I've ever been, and I was afraid. And
(03:40):
I never thought that this country could be attacked in
the way that it had been. In that moment, I knew.
I felt like I knew, at least for me, exactly
why God had put me on this earth, and that
was to serve something greater than myself. That was to
put the uniform on the military. As a kid in
(04:02):
my early twenties, I just believed, and call it naive,
that with that American flag on my shoulder and the
might and power of the US military at my back
that I could accomplish any mission. Heck, I could conquer
the world if I wanted to. And ultimately I wanted
to take the fight to the enemy. I wanted to
strike back at those who hit us in the great City.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Of New York.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And I remember doing everything I could to train for Afghanistan.
Went to airborne school where the Army taught me how
to jump out of perfectly good airplanes that's the phrase.
And went to ranger school so I could be the
best leader that I could for my troops, and then
wanted to be in the infantry so I could be
on the front lines of America's collective response. And boy
(04:51):
did I find myself on the front lines of America's
collective response. And what it really was, folks, was a
lesson and be careful what you wish for, because I
wanted to close with and destroy the enemy, which was
the infantry's mission, and we got an opportunity to.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Do that, Folks.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
All my life, I've had a cynical relationship with my faith.
I'm Catholic, I'm a believer, and though this isn't a
religious show, but just bear with me here, I've struggled
with my faith and the day before I was supposed
to go to Afghanistan, my grandfather passed away. And my
(05:29):
grandfather was like a second father figure to me. Lifelong
Union Democrat, worked a second job as an usher here
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at Forbes Field at three Rivers Stadium,
PNC Park, hardest working guy I ever met. Twenty four
hours before we left, he passed away, and it hurt,
(05:50):
and I remember asking myself, Gosh, why are you doing
this to me right before I've got to be a
leader from my troops in Afghanistan. And I remember talking
my battalion commander. He said, Sean, go home, be with
your family, because when you get to Afghanistan and those
bullets start flying, your troops are gonna need you. So
drove down, went to my grandfather's funeral. He wore a
(06:13):
Saint Christopher metal every single day of his life. Was
the kind of guy that would do the Sign of
the Cross when he'd pass a Catholic church in the
car and I'd be driving with him wondering what he
was doing. He was an old school guy like that.
So my grandmother, twelve hours before I deployed to Afghanistan,
takes this Saint Christopher medal and presses it into my
(06:33):
hand and says, Sean, he would have wanted you to
have this. It will protect you when you're in Afghanistan.
And I was blown away. I'm wearing it right now.
Almost has a legendary quality in my family. And so
flash forward to Afghanistan. On the Afghan Pakistan border June tenth,
two thousand and six. My platoon is surrounded, were outmanned.
(06:57):
We're out gunned, outnumbered ten to one. I was knocked
unconscious by a air burst mortar and I woke up
in a smoldering hole with shrap and the wall around me.
One of my soldiers pulled me up into the sitting position.
But before I even woke up, I just remember the
entire world being black. I could hear the shot in
(07:19):
the shell, but I couldn't see anything. I was completely
out of it. And as I laid there on the battlefield,
not fully awake but not fully out, I felt something
that really brought me back. I feel like I was
dying and I didn't realize that at the time, but
I had fractured my skull, had a cerebral spinal fluid bleak,
(07:39):
ended up having clear fluid leaking out of my nose
and my ears. But I felt something in America. You
were going to think that I am crazy, And if
you do, that's okay, because at first I thought that
I was crazy too. I felt like it was my
grandfather right there with me telling me to get back
into the fight, to wake up. And so I did,
(08:05):
and the day came slowly back to me that day,
and I remember waking up to seeing almost every single
member of my peltoon wounded, some twice, some three times.
But really it was my grandfather that I think pushed
me back into the fight to take care of my troops,
just like my grandmother told me that he would. And
(08:30):
I survived somehow miraculously by the grace of God. Call
it luck, call it fate, call it whatever you want.
And as my family is celebrating Christmas, I'm married. I've
got an amazing wife. Her name's Commander Melanie. I've got
five amazing kids. Yes, it's crazy. Conversation for another time.
And I remember turning to my wife two days ago
and saying, I can't believe I survived what I did
(08:52):
in Afghanistan. I tend to think about that experience more
over the holidays.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't know why I said.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I said to her, this is almost surreal to me.
And believe me when I tell you, folks, it's weird
to have your own life seems surreal to you. And
so you flash forward to today. And this is why
I say it's unbelievable that I'm sitting here in this chair,
because eighteen years ago, when I got back out of
(09:20):
the military, I was broke and I was broken, bought
my body physically broken. I came out of the military.
I needed speech therapy, I couldn't talk. I had a
horrible concussion. I had to go through rehabilitation for darn
near twelve months. So believe me, this is what I
(09:42):
mean when I say it's crazy that I'm sitting here,
because for all intents and purposes, I should not be.
You come back to this country broke and broken, and
all of a sudden, you're sitting in on the biggest
radio show in the country, one that a timeslot that
Rush Limbaugh used to host, and now Klay Travison Bucks said,
these are all three men legends, and so boy do
(10:04):
I feel blessed. And let me tell you, I've been
on the stage now with President Trump over the last year,
in the year of twenty twenty four, all five times
he came to Western Pennsylvania, and every single time I
get up there on the crowd, I get up there
(10:25):
in front of the crowd and I say to people,
ladies and gentlemen and patriots, do you believe that we
are in a spiritual fight for the heart and soul
of this country?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
The crowd just goes wild.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I'm like you all believe that there is good and
evil in this world, and the crowd just goes wild.
It resonates with them, and it resonates with me too.
I used to be cynical about my faith, and now
I'm not because it's led me along this winding path
to write where I am today. And when you talk
(11:04):
about all of the crazy, crazy things that we have
experienced in this country over the last year, and boy,
let me tell you, we're going to talk about them
over the next three hours. Trump's mugshot an assassination attempt.
I was at that rally too. I'm going to tell
you about that here in a second close call in Afghanistan.
(11:27):
Never thought I'd have a close call here at home,
but I'm gonna talk to you about that here in
a minute. So, yes, America, I do believe that there
is a spiritual war going on in our world. And yes,
I do believe that America is ground zero for that fight.
(11:50):
And yes, I do believe that God works in mysterious ways.
We're going to talk about that in so much more
or when we come back here on the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. So you stay right there, folks,
shoot three hours on tap stick with us, and we'll
(12:11):
be right back. I'm Sean Parnell in the chair for
Clay and Buck. Welcome back to the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. My name is Sean Parnell, combat veteran
New York Times bestselling author. But Folks, more than both
of those things, I am a humble servant of this country.
(12:32):
I love this country. I don't need a uniform or
rank or a title to love my country and continue
to serve it. And let me tell you, I've heard
the phrase. I mentioned it in the first block. God
works in mysterious ways. And most of the time, actually
all of the time. I really hate it when people
(12:54):
say that to me, because most of the time people say, oh,
I just go through this terrible divorce and someone's says, well, Sean, listen, God,
God works in mysterious ways. I'm like, well, darn it,
this really stinks. Why is he doing this to me?
But here's the thing with all of this. It's true
sometimes God does things, but in the moment we don't
(13:16):
really understand why. And so all this talk about a
spirit of a fight, You're probably asking yourself, Okay, Sean,
get to the point, what are you talking about. What
I'm talking about is this Donald Trump. He is the
most electrifying political figure in my lifetime, and all cards
on the table, folks. I have been a Trump guy
since he's come down the golden escalator in twenty sixteen.
(13:40):
But I kind of believe that God put Donald Trump
right where he was supposed to be. I'm not saying
that Donald Trump is the chosen one or anything like that,
but think about all the stuff that this guy has
had to go through since he's come down that golden escalator,
(14:01):
whether it's two bogus impeachments, the fake January sixth Committee,
remember the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, the election interference in
twenty twenty. Yeah, we know that there were shenanigans that
happened in twenty twenty. Can we talk about twenty twenty
for a second. Even the Democrats know that the twenty
twenty election was probably a little shading. Now when you
(14:22):
have sixty plus million popular votes for the Democrats in
twenty twelve, sixty plus million and twenty sixteen eighty one
million for Joe Biden, a man who could barely speak,
in twenty twenty, and then down around sixty five million
for Kamala Harrison twenty four So the Democrats are kind
of like, wait a second, something ain't right here.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But they're right. They're right. Something wasn't right.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
And look, we don't know what that was, but we
do know is that there I think was some nefarious
stuff that happened in twenty twenty. We'm not going to
get into all of that. But at the time, and
this is personal to me because I had my name
on the ballot with President Trump in Western Pennsylvania and
he threw my hat in the arena to run for office,
(15:08):
I watched first hand all the shenanigans that they tried
to pull. But had they just let things happen? The Democrats,
the deep state, the intelligence community, call them whatever you want.
But had they just let twenty twenty happen and let
Donald Trump win, guess what he'd be on his way
out of office. And oh, by the way, he would
(15:30):
have had a Democrat controlled House, a Democrat controlled Senate.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Would he have been able to get things done? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Probably, But would it have been more difficult? Absolutely? But
guess what, folks. They didn't do that, And so now
Donald Trump is back.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Won an historic mandate.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
He won the electoral College, he won the popular vote,
he won state governments all across the country, and with
a majority on the Supreme Court. Guess what, Democrats, We
have a mandate now and in January of twenty twenty five,
we are coming for you. So stay tuned next for
what it means to be America. First, stay right there,
got an amazing show for you. I'm Sean Parnell in
(16:15):
the chair for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. All right,
all right, all right, we are back here on the
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
My name is Sean Parnell.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I'm in the chair for Buck and Clay, and it's
great to be here, folks. We've been talking about the
fact that there is. In fact, at least, I believe
there is a spiritual war happening here in America, and
ground zero for that fight is America. And when you
think about it, it makes sense. We are the world's
(16:48):
loan superpower. When there was an earthquake in Pakistan in
two thousand and five that killed eighty thousand people, we
diverted combat missions. You h forty seven Chamook helicopters diverted
combat missions from Afghanistan to save people in Pakistan.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
They called for our help.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
We were there when a tsunami killed hundreds of thousands
of people in Southeast Asia. Those ailing nations didn't call Iran,
they didn't call China. They called the United States of America,
and we showed up and we saved lives.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
So it makes sense that the ground zero for this
spiritual fight would be here, as the world's loan superpower.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Of course it would be.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And so I mentioned earlier that I have been on
stage with President Trump every time he's come to Western Pennsylvania,
and that includes on July thirteenth, the Fateful Day, when
someone tried to take President Trump's life. And I'm gonna
tell you a little bit about that day, and it
(18:03):
was strange. From the moment that I showed up at
the rally, I could sense that something just wasn't right.
A couple things that stood out to me that day
was the weather. It was oppressively hot, hotest day in
western Pennsylvania on memory, not a cloud in the sky
in zero wind. And you know probably thinking, well, you're
(18:26):
a combat veteran, you might be a little paranoid, and.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You would be right, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I have a little paranoid And that's what I chalked
it up to as well, like come on, Sean, calm down,
it's gonna be fine. Look there's two sniper teams. They've
got security. But still call it my combat veteran spidey sense.
I could sense that something was off. And I remember
meeting with President Trump, probably twenty five minutes before it happened.
(18:54):
My wife, Commander Melanie, and I were there and we're
standing there with Missus Fogel. Now Missus fogel Son Mark
Fogel has been languishing in a Russian prison for three
years under Biden, who's done absolutely nothing for his release.
And I thought to myself, well, we got to introduce
Missus Fogel, Mark's mother to President Trump, and I'm standing
(19:17):
right there with both of them, and Missus Fogel, who
is in her nineties, says to President Trump, please help
me free my son. And President Trump, holding both of
her little hands, looks at Missus Fogel and he says,
we will get your son back. And she started crying
(19:40):
happy tears right there. And I remember going back out
and sitting in the crowd. We're right in the front row.
So if you're looking at the television and watching this
rally on TV, you've got President Trump at the podium.
Both my wife and I and Missus Fogel were directly
to the President's left. And so President well, first of all,
(20:00):
the music starts blairing. This heavy metal song starts blair
and Missus Vogel comes out of the tent because she
stayed a little bit longer to talk to President Trump.
And this ninety year old woman has tears in her
eyes and she's dancing to kid rock like it was
the craziest thing I've ever seen. She comes she sits
down right next to me. President Trump comes out shortly thereafter,
walks right down that little red carpet looks at me,
(20:23):
missus Fogel and my wife points right at us and
executes a left face and walks to the podium and
starts addressing the crowd in typical President Trump fashion, and
he goes off script very early, which for President Trump
is not something typically that he does. And he goes,
(20:43):
throw my favorite chart up there. Oh, I love this chart.
It's the best charge of the world. So he throws
the chart up there, it's the immigration chart, and he
turns his head and.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He points to it and he says, is he that
line right there? I love that line, this lowest point
of immigrats.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
And he's in the crowd is laughing, going wild, and
Trump turns around and makes a couple of jokes, and
all of a sudden, I felt something and something that
was not dissimilar to what I felt on that stage
speaking before President Trump came out and unbeknounced to me.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
While I'm on.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
That stage, the flag got twisted up into a knot
while I was speaking, and I didn't know it at
the time, but I knew it after because everybody in
the crowd was texting and sending me pictures, and that
twisted American flag looked like an eagle, looked like an angel.
Some people said it was an omen. Some people said
(21:40):
it was a religious symbol.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I don't know. I didn't even know what was happening.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
But what I felt up there on the stage was
the same thing that I felt on June ten, two
thousand and six, in Afghanistan, when I felt my grandfather
with me. I felt it there on that stage. And
so I'm standing there in the crowd feeling that something off.
And President Trump gestures to the chart the second time,
(22:05):
and he turns his head and just as he his
head cranes to look at that chart, I hear shots
ring out and I see President Trump grab his ear,
and folks, we are twenty feet from him, bullets crack
right over our head. See President Trump grab his ear.
Secret Service is on him a second later. And let
(22:27):
me tell you something. I hadn't been to combat in
eighteen years at that point, and the training took over
in seconds. I had my wife on the ground, try
to get missus fulgo on the ground. She's sitting there
with her person in the lap.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
She's like, no, I'm completely fine. She was a rock
in the storm.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
So I have my wife on the ground and she's
looking at me with these big blue eyes, and the
Secret Service whisked President Trump away, and I'm in combat mode,
thinking to myself, well, holy smokes, there are forty thousand
people here. How are we going to get these people
out with one exit point? And the combat leader in
me immediately starts trying to ascertain the position of the shooter,
(23:07):
because you got to figure out where the sniper is
coming from, having been under sniper fire before, to determine
whether or not you can move people.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And if you can move people, how do.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You utilize cover and concealment to get forty thousand people
out of there? These were the things that were on
my mind. And immediately I said building because that building.
Let me tell you, folks, that building was a stone's
throw away. The satellite imagery simply does not do it justice.
(23:38):
It was right there. So how Matthew Crooks defeated the
premier executive protection agency in the world in the United
States Secret Service? A twenty year old kid that didn't
even make his rifle team get up on a building
with one hundred and thirty yard shot to the President
of the United States, clear line of sight, no law
enforcement on the building is beyond me. But even in
the chaos of the moment, as people were trying to
(23:59):
figure out what was going on, I said to myself,
there's no way a shooter could be on that building
because the Secret Service would absolutely have it on lockdown.
But I was completely wrong. The other thought was maybe
somebody was on the water tower. But I immediately wrote
off the water tower because it was far away, and
(24:21):
the moments that I heard that the crack of the rifle,
I could tell it was a two two three or
five five six serve. In sixteen months in combats, you
can recognize caliber of different guns and rifles and all
this stuff, and I just knew it was a two
two three or five five six. And I knew that
the shot from the water tower would be too far.
I know people that could make that shot, but it
would be a miracle even for them, and so if
(24:44):
the trajectory was all off as well, So I immediately
wrote off the water tower. But one of the things
that I will never forget his Corey Comparatour and his family,
and the sounds of their voices as they tried to
wrap their mind around what had just happened. Corey and
(25:05):
his family were sitting directly behind my wife and I
and Missus Vogel, and the bleachers just behind us. I
also was trying to wrap my mind around the two
other citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who were wounded
that day. So I'm always careful when I say that
(25:25):
God was involved that day, because I imagine that Corey's family
probably doesn't feel like that, and I imagine that the
families of those who were wounded probably don't feel like
that either. But I'm telling you, this country is exceptional
for so many reasons. Yes, we have a thriving and
(25:48):
booming economy. Yes, small businesses are the backbones of those economy.
Yes we have the best military on the face of
the planet. All of that is true. But what makes
this country truly exceptional is the hearts of each and
every American who's listening to this show right now, who
believes in the exceptional nature of this country. Those who
(26:10):
believe that America is a shining city upon a hill
are what make this country exceptional. And I saw that
reflected in the crowd that day, Because normally, when there's
an active shooter, people panic, and rightfully so. Normally, when
there's an active shooter, people run and there could be
(26:32):
a stampede and more people are hurt. Because of that stampede,
forty thousand America First Patriots packed in to watch President Trump.
Boy that situation was right before disaster, but that did
not happen, folks. After the shooting, people were stuck in
(26:54):
that rally for hours. They locked it down and again
understandably so, trying to find the shooter, figure out if
there was more than one. At the time, we didn't know.
But those America First Patriots, the ones that we evacuated
that day, the ones that were heat casualties that day,
worked for hours after the fact trying to save those people.
(27:16):
Not a single one of those people brought attention to
their own injuries or their own fears. Not a single
one of those people put themselves first. Every single person
that I talked to, every single one said, as President Trump, okay,
the man, the men, the people who were shot. Are
(27:37):
they okay? That's all I want to know. Are they safe?
Not a single America First Patriot in that crowd put
themselves first. And I'm here to tell you, America that
that is what makes this country exceptional. It's all of
(27:57):
you and your hearts to serve one another. You know,
I say often that the pathway to a meaningful life
is paved through acts of service your fellow men and women.
And boy did I see it on jent July thirteenth,
at the height of what could have been one of
(28:17):
the most horrific days. Certainly was one of the most
darkest days and certainly in my life, maybe even in
American history. But the people in that crowd or what
made that crowd great. People in that crowd are what
makes this country exception. So we come back, we kind
(28:42):
of talk about the potential speaker insanity that is just
around the corner on Friday. I'm gonna break all of
that down for you when we come back on the
Clay and Buck Show. I'm Sean Parnell and the chair
for the big guys Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Show
is a go. I'm in the chair for the guys.
My name is Sean Parnell, combat, veteran, humble servant of America.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Folks, do you know what's going on with the Speaker
of the House. I hope you know what. It's the holidays.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
You might not be because this is some crazy parliamentary
process stuff. So Trump a couple days ago endorsed Speaker
Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House, and Speaker Johnson
came out last night and said that he has the
votes for Speaker of the House. And let me just
tell you, folks, many of you are probably rolling your eyes,
(29:34):
Ugh Rhinos. Speakers of the House. Republicans, they never wield power.
When they have it, they always screw it up, and
you would be right. And I tell you I do
not envy a Republican Speaker of the House. And I
have a theory about this, and it's my theory of
we the people versus they the people. I contend that
(29:56):
Republicans are the party of we the people, which is
what our founders always intended. In other words, a Republican
congressman from Pittsburgh is very different from a Republican congressman
from southern Florida is very different from a Republican congressman
from southern California. Now why because they have different constituencies,
(30:19):
different geographic locations, different needs of the people they represent.
So when Republicans are in power and they're trying to
whip votes, it's like herding cats. Every single time, and
it leaves we the people thinking what the heck is
going on. The Democrats are very very different. The Democrats
are very top down authoritarian. You see, they are the
(30:44):
party of they, the people. They're talking points are put
out by four people. Most of the time. It's Chuck Schumer,
it's Nancy Pelosi, it's Barack Obama. Maybe it's Joe Biden's team.
If Joe Biden is conscious on that day, and those
talking points are given to the media, and those talking
points are given to members of the House and the Senate,
then they regurgitate those same talking points all the time.
(31:08):
That's why you hear, you know, just put right off
the top of my head, the media and the Democrats
saying about Trump in his first term, the walls are
closing in. Oh boy, if the walls are closing in
on Trumpet, I can't believe that the walls are finally
closing in. See, they're the party of they, the people.
And this is precisely why a Democrat congressman from western Pennsylvania,
(31:30):
from Pittsburgh, Democrat congressman from southern Florida, a Democrat congressman
from southern California, they are all exactly the same. They
are like the borg on Star Trek, and I can
see my wife and five children collectively rolling their eyes
because of a Star Trek reference. But it's on point.
(31:53):
We the people, They the people. We're gonna get into
the math here of the speaker in sanity in just
a second. If we're gonna talk about that, Mike Johnson
is really truly on a razor's edge here. And we're
gonna also talk about the Democrats and how they're the
real threat to democracy. Folks, we got so much more
(32:16):
our two of Clay and Buck on tap up next.
I'm Sean Parnell. I'm in the chair. Stay with us
because our two is gonna be great. I'll see you
all on the other side. Lay Travis and Buck Sexton
(32:39):
on the front lines of truth.
