Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show focused heavily on election integrity, election security, voter registration, foreign interference, media bias, and Trump administration policy, with a major segment featuring White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The hour opened with analysis of a recent speech by President Donald Trump, in which he highlighted allegations that China compromised approximately 220 million U.S. voter files, creating what was described as a significant election security vulnerability. Clay and Buck examined claims involving foreign election interference, intelligence community actions, cybersecurity concerns, and questions about whether government agencies and media organizations adequately addressed evidence of Chinese influence efforts. The hosts repeatedly contrasted these allegations with the extensive coverage of the Russia collusion investigation, arguing that claims involving China have not received the same level of scrutiny or media attention. A substantial portion of Hour 1 centered on claims from a Department of Homeland Security review that identified roughly 278,000 non-citizens registered to vote in federal elections, along with reports that hundreds of thousands of deceased individuals may still appear on voter rolls. Clay and Buck debated the distinction between voter registration and actual voting, questioning whether election vulnerabilities are being exploited and whether any investigations, prosecutions, or accountability measures will follow. The discussion expanded into concerns about motor voter laws, voter roll maintenance, election administration, voter ID requirements, ballot security, election fraud prevention, and voting machine security, with both hosts emphasizing the need for greater transparency regarding election processes and enforcement. The hosts also explored allegations of Chinese influence operations, including claims that journalists, intelligence officials, and federal bureaucrats may have played roles in suppressing information related to Chinese election activities. They discussed reports alleging that intelligence briefings were altered or that information concerning Chinese election interference was withheld from senior officials and the public. This led to a broader conversation about the so-called “deep state,” bureaucratic resistance, accountability within federal agencies, and whether individuals connected to alleged misconduct should face professional or legal consequences. Another major theme during Hour 1 was criticism of the national media landscape. Clay and Buck argued that major outlets such as the New York Times and Washington Post devote substantial investigative resources to stories damaging to Republicans while failing to aggressively pursue stories involving election security concerns or foreign influence allegations. The hosts discussed the perceived lack of a comparable right-leaning investigative journalism infrastructure and questioned whether important stories are receiving adequate coverage. The hour also included discussion of the political environment heading into upcoming elections, with commentary on congressional inaction, executive authority, the SAVE America Act, and President Trump’s efforts to advance election integrity reforms. Clay and Buck debated whether Republicans in Congress have done enough to address election security concerns and suggested that many of the administration’s priorities may ultimately depend on executive action rather than legislation. Later in Hour 1, the program shifted briefly to the Maine U.S. Senate race, where the hosts discussed Democratic candidate Ashley Webb, including questions surrounding gender identity terminology and the evolving language surrounding transgender and intersex issues. This conversation broadened into a cultural discussion about changing social norms, political messaging, transparency in campaigns, and how voters evaluate candidates. The hour concluded with an interview with WH Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who expanded on the administration’s election security concerns, alleging widespread vulnerabilities in voter registration systems, foreign interference risks, and weaknesses in election infrastructure. Miller also discussed immigration enforcement, ICE operations, deportation efforts, commercial driver’s license fraud involving illegal immigrants, banking restrictions affecting illegal aliens, public safety concerns, and ongoing Trump administration initiatives aimed at strengthening border security and encouraging self-deportation. The segment closed with lighter conversation about future media projects and personal congratulations for Miller’s growing family.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition, Clay and Buck,
we got a lot to dive into with you. Just
off the top, FYI, Steven Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff,
one of I would say probably the three most powerful
people working inside of the White House that is not
(00:21):
an elected official. He will join us at twelve forty
five at the bottom of this hour to discuss many
different topics currently at the top of the agenda in
the Trump White House, So just put that on your radar.
May also discuss Bloodsport, Karate Kid, and others of his
favorite movies. He's been coming on for years now. But Buck,
(00:45):
I think pretty clearly right off the top here, the
Trump speech last night at nine pm Eastern, about twenty
five minutes, laid out two things that I thought were
the most significant, and then we will kind of breakdown
what we think the significance of these two assertions from
(01:05):
him were. First of all, he said that two hundred
and twenty million voter files have been hacked by China.
This is cut four listen.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Over a period of years, starting during the twenty twenty
election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what
is believed to be the largest compromise of election data
in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of two hundred
and twenty million US voter files. That information includes names, addresses,
(01:39):
phone numbers, political party preferences, another sensitive data that would
be needed to register to vote and engage in other
nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening. This data
loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Okay, one cut there. The second part that I thought
was the most significant, buck and I'm curious if you
would sign off on this. Let's hear it from President Trump.
He says, two hundred and seventy eight thousand that we
know of non citizens are registered voters in our federal elections.
That's cut twelve to.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Reveal just how vulnerable elections continue to be. We are
releasing the results of a stunning investigation by the Department
of Homeland Security. According to the DHS review state voter
rows and public records, they identified approximately two hundred and
seventy eight thousand non citizens who are registered to vote
(02:39):
in federal elections. Since Democrat states refused to share their
voter files. The real number is actually much higher than that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Okay, one more. Mark Wayne Mullen, DHS Secretary earlier today,
I believe he said, yes, that is true. And these
numbers come from just four states California, in New Jersey, Nevada,
and Pennsylvania cut one two hundred.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And fifty thousand non citizens registered to vote and just
four states. Mind you, we have forty six other states
and just four states. We've identified two hundred and fifty
thousand non citizens registered to vote in California and Pennsylvania,
(03:29):
New Jersey and Nevada. We also worked with proactive states
to identify twenty eight thousand non citizens on their voter rules,
plus four hundred thousand individuals that are still registered to
vote that are deceased.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay, buck this speech last night, like I said twenty
five minutes, I would almost guarantee you that the same
people who told you you, as we discussed yesterday, that
one hundred thousand dollars spent on Facebook ads rigged the
election for Russia, and we had to treat Russia collusion
(04:10):
as the most important story in all of the country
in twenty sixteen, and the Komi Report and everything else
associated with it. They will all tell you that everything
Trump said last night is either a lie or it
is not important. And we've got some cuts on that.
But what was your reaction to last night? Did anything
other than those kind of points that we just played
(04:32):
jump out to you?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Well, I have more questions as a result of the
information that was shared last night. I think it's important
for people to know the scale of, first of all,
the vulnerabilities in our elections. So I'm glad the president
shared that information publicly. But for example, on the issue
(04:55):
of journalists getting paid, yeah, to write story or he's
getting paid by China to write stories? Okay, who I
want to know?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Who?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
If you're telling me that there are journalists that received
money that receive money in order to write negative stories
about the now you can say whether that's you know,
legal or not. I think it is probably legal. But
the point is, all right, if you have this information,
let's know this information. And then on the issue of
(05:29):
the people who are illegals who are registered to vote,
or the foreigners basically who are registered to vote, are
they voting, If they are voting, tell us about the voting.
If they are voting, why can't we catch them voting.
I mean, so this is the thing. He's laid out,
this information, and a lot of it is oh my gosh,
there are vulnerabilities.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Okay. Are the vulnerabilities being exploited?
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Though?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Is the next step?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
And I need to know if they have that information
or not, because that's obviously the most critical thing is
whether they're actually acting on this.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It's one thing to say a lot of people could
be voting illegally.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Are they voting illegally? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You know, and the Chinese influence operation against us? Of
course they're doing it. Look for Trump, this is all
I get it. It's all very personal because of the
Russia collusion lie. The whole thing was absurd. So he's
pointing out, look, of course the Chinese want sleepy Joe
Biden instead of me, and they were running influence operations
and stuff. But for anyone who's saying no, buck, this
is really important. Is anybody going to jail over anything
(06:34):
he said last night? Is one single person going to
be prosecuted for all of the stuff that he talked
about last night? I would say no, I don't think so.
And if that's the case, I would want to know why.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I would echo that I would also say, even go
to prison or any of that. Are we just gonna
get any charges associated with this? And I A So
the part that I thought was tenuous is, Hey, our
voting machines can be hacked. There has been a lot
(07:13):
of discussion about that in the past. If the voting
machines can be hacked, there have been tons of lawsuits
associated with this. We need to have way more information
about what could happen for voting machines. And in particular,
he cited Maduro in Venezuela, which may be a particularly
unique situation there. But I do think in general this
(07:39):
was different than what I thought President Trump might say
because he didn't focus so much on twenty twenty. It
was more looking forward prospectively. And this is where I
do think Trump has a little bit of opportunity here.
I don't think President Trump cares that desk about what
(08:00):
happens in the midterm. Again, He's going to campaign hard,
he's gonna work hard to try to keep the House
and the Senate. But I think President Trump is super
frustrated with the lack of things done by the Republican
House and the Republican Senate. And I think on some
level he has resigned himself to he is going to
(08:21):
be able to do more things through executive order than
he's going to be able to do through Congress passing anything.
And we've almost reached the point buck the Senate goes
on recess for like two weeks in August. I mean
they're about to shut down and then they're not going
to pass anything during the actual season of the campaigning season, right.
(08:44):
So I just feel like, to a large extent, congressional
action is finished. And that might be a pessimistic take,
but I feel like Trump isn't that motivated. Because I
was watching MSNBC and their headline is Trump is terrified
that he's going to lose Congress. I don't think he's
actually that. I mean, he's already been No, he's esecuted,
and the threats that he's faced in the past, like
(09:06):
this is a small one.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Trump has been shot. He's not terrified of the Republican Congress.
He'll be Okay, that's a desperate a desperate plea for
viewers and attention from MSNBC or CNN or whatever. But Clay,
for example, because anyone is saying, well, why are you
talking about the people that might be prosecuted or and
by the way, maybe consequences not just prosecution. For example,
(09:30):
getting fired. Trump said, we didn't play nine yet, did
we know?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Trump said last night the following, I want you to
listen to this and we'll talk about it.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Play nine.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
One email among intelligence analysts admitted that they had quote
deliberately massaged the presidential Daily Briefing to withold information regarding
Chinese activities related to the election. Another official inside the
FBI wrote that she was running quote a shadow government
(10:01):
to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known
and to keep it away from the honorable press. Other
officials who witnessed such efforts perceive the motivations to be
blatantly political.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Okay, have those people been fired? Maybe the answer is yes.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Maybe. But if the answer is yes, why wouldn't they
tell us that.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
This is the part of this where I'm frustrated, because people,
there's a lot.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Of luck, but the bureaucracy works against Trump. And you know,
the swamp is thick and deep, and it's mean to him.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
And yeah, we get all that he's the president. He's
halfway through his second term. If not now when you know,
I mean, people, we got to start to ask for
the order here, so to speak. We got to start saying,
you know, whether it's on deportations or it's on a
whole range of things. If this stuff doesn't happen, when
(10:57):
is it supposed to happen? And Trump's third term, that's
a joke. It's not happening.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
When is it going to get done?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
So I do think that there's a little bit of Okay,
we had this speech last night. Yes, it maybe is
another important thing for passing the Save America Act. I mean,
there's I understand why he did it, but I just
felt like there were a lot of things that were
left open ended. By the way, if he's is he
saying that the twenty twenty election because of this?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Is this?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
What is? Was it stolen because of China? Is that?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Now?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
The is that what people are supposed to think that
China stole the twenty twenty election. If it wasn't China,
then well you're in charge of the government, so tell
us what happened. I think all that's very valid And
my biggest does anyone not say it? By the way,
anyone light me up if you think that explain to
me how that's wrong. Like I want someone out there
(11:50):
to tell me what am I missing here?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think one of the challenges that we are going
to face is no one is going to write about
this at the New York Times, at the Washington Post,
probably at the Wall Street Journal. And you can say,
so what, Clay. A lot of the ability to chase
(12:13):
stories comes from there being a motivation to chase stories.
Let me just put it to you this way, Buck,
what written outlet is the equivalent of the New York
Times or the Washington Post on the right. If you're
listening to read me right now and you are a
multi billionaire and you are thinking, Hey, I want to
(12:36):
impact how the political discourse happens in this country. Go
hire a thousand really committed right leaning journalists and give
them full rein to pursue scandal stories like the New
York Times and the Washington Post do, and we may
(12:56):
start to have a little bit of an equal playing field.
People will point to Fox News. Fox News is a
huge audience. Fox News does not do investigative journalism by
and large as a television network like the New York
Times and the Washington Post do My point on this,
Buck is, if this were a Democrat president, they would
hand over all these files and we would see front
(13:17):
page stories in the New York Times, in the Washington
Post four months unpacking all of these files like we
saw with Russia collusion. And I know producer Greg got
a list of everybody already at all these networks saying
this is not a story, there's nothing here. My concern,
Buck is, even if they're dead to rights, The New
York Post is probably the best example because they did
(13:38):
the Hunter Biden laptop story really well with our friend
Miranda Devine. The New York Post. Nordon, you're as big
as the Washington Post or the New York Times. You
got to have deep dives into all of this to
prove it in some way, and I feel like there's
not anybody out there to do it well.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
The other part of this, Clay or maybe this is
just a guiding principle that I'm approaching all of this
with today, hopefully I do this in general. It's no
longer just asking questions time. It's give us the answers time.
And last night there was a lot of important information,
but it did beg certain questions, and I want to
(14:17):
know why charges bring charges? Now what are we waiting
for here? If this is going on? And also, if
there are a journalists, why can't we know who the journalists?
You can declassify that journalists taking money from China.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Let's know who it is.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
If they're journalists taking money from China to interfere in
a presidential election, let let us know who they are.
If there are illegals who are registered in hundreds of thousands,
are we just not able to catch a single one
of them voting illegally?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Not one? Well, I would think the mere registration would
be a crime. I would think that being registered as
a non citizen. If it's not I don't have the
federal statutes in front of me right now, but being
registered as a non citizen to vote should be a crime.
Because of motor voter registration and a lot of DMV
there's a lot of mistakes that are actually made, and
(15:02):
people because they can get drivers' licenses in some states
also registered to vote in some states. You know, because
they would argue that should be a crime, Like I mean,
if you even if it's unintentional, if you you know
whether you're a citizen or not, like but yes, that
is one of the goals. I mean, we got so
(15:22):
much we can unpack. Let's let's come back and we'll
continue to talk about all of this. But I think
the key question you asked is will there be any
charges brought based on anything that President Trump said last night?
I'm not even asking for convictions. I'm just asking for charges.
Some are great for a lot of things. Outdoor grilling
one of them. What makes grilling even better? How about
(15:43):
great tasting steaks and burgers from our friends at good Ranchers.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Got some talkbacks coming in, some calls on President frum
speech last night. Larry, who listens on WAI in San Antonio, Texas,
this is g hit it.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Buck, thank you so much for being right on this
morning after this speech last night. He did a wonderful
job explaining everything and had the exact same questions I did.
Thank you again for your insight and your intelligence.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
That's right, I start. I love Larry. Larry my second
cousin from San Antonio. But Clay the other side of
the coin a coin, John from Cincinnati listens on KRC radio,
play it fuck.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
If you're trying to get uninvited to this year's.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
White House Christmas party, pretty sure it.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Might be working. Yeah, I don't think I'm going anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well, we're gonna get it to be fair. I don't
think We've gotten a Christmas invite.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
That's what I'm saying. I don't think I don't read that.
I don't think that was in the cards.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
We could ask Steven Miller about that one later, but yeah, no,
it's just obvious.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's the truth.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And I think that people lying down and pretending like
none of this needs to be answered is silly.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
More than four decades ago, a rabbi in New Jersey
formed a nonprofit to help the Jewish population in Israel,
called the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's created
a powerful bond between both countries and the religious faiths
popular in both countries, the Christians and the Jews, and
the innovative work of the IFCJ allows them to respond quickly.
(18:23):
When Israeli residents were attacked by Hamas Terris several years ago,
the IFCJ immediately jumped into action with aid and resources.
Today they're responding to immediate needs in northern Israel, where
residents have been subject to sporadic missile and drone attacks.
I saw that situation on the ground myself in the
north a couple of years ago, in those same exact communities.
(18:46):
To establish your unity with Israel. Go online to FLAGPENIFCJ
dot org, flag PI NIFCJ dot org. We'll continue to
get to your talkbacks and your call. Steven Miller going
(19:07):
to join us at the bottom of the hour from
the White House. We will ask him questions about last
night's speech. I did want to have some fun with
this buck. I know the Senate race there has gone
off the front pages a bit because Graham Platner is
now out. But they had a debate last night among
the new contenders in the Maine Senate Democrat primary quick
(19:34):
turn rig job that they are in the midst of embracing.
And Ashley Webb is running for the Senate in Maine,
and this is what she sounded like last night.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Oh, I ran for office several times, didn't win, but
they didn't run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then
I write my own books, and then I suppose my
transparent I wouldn't lie to the people, and I wouldn't
deceive the people like where you're being deceived right now?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
All right? So is that a man pretending to be
a woman, or is that just the deepest voiced woman
in the history, or is Ashley a name for a man, I'm, I'm, I'm,
I've got like eight different questions. I did know a
guy named Ashley growing up. Actually, just that is a fact,
That's what I'm saying. So I saw the video and
I thought it was a woman. But was I deceived?
(20:26):
Do we know what Ashley Webb's background is? Is? Is
this entire question considered to be reprehensible by me to
be asking? Does the team in New York have any
background checks? Do I need to go into Grock and
see what they say about Ashley Webb? That is Ah,
there are a lot of kooks in the Democrat Party
right now, and Ashley Webb, senate candidate in Maine tell
(20:52):
me about him or her, It's not a good sign.
I probably when you're running from Maybe it is a
good sign for Democrats now where you remember back in
the day, Buck, they probably would execute the person for
doing this today. But you remember the Pat Saturday Night
Live skits where Pat was like you couldn't deal with
Pat was male or female and it was played for laughs.
(21:13):
I mean if you tried to do that today then
you would get utterly o viscerated. I I legit, I
thought this was a woman, and let's see what Grox
says when I when I put this in. But this
is among the contenders that are trying to run against
against right now. Susan Collins. Ah, Okay, she is. I
(21:35):
don't even know what this means. She is a transgender
intersex woman from Farmington, Maine, running for the Democrat nomination.
She has described herself this way on her campaign site. Uh,
I don't know even what that means.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Wait, you didn't You didn't really you didn't know that
that was a trans person or you.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Well, I just saw the video and listen to it,
and I was totally. I was total. I thought it
was just a crack. But man, maybe it's a crazy man.
What is intersect?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
That? That is the trans person that fooled you, the
one that was on the thing.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I was watching. I was watching on my phone. I
was doing breath this morning. I was watching on my phone.
The answer was Crazy's.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Gonna have to watch you and surely make sure you
don't get into trouble, buddy.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And you know what does intersex mean? Do you know
what that is?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Intersex?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah? Yeah, what does that? What does that mean? I?
I honestly mean, you're neither male nor female? So what
is it? But how an interest?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
You're talking about her?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
There?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
So there's physical there's what they used to call hermaphrodite,
which I think now people refer to as intersex, which
is when you have the male and female genitalia both
of them.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Is that what you're this individual?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'm eating from groc I'm trying to decipher this this person.
She is a transgender and intersex woman, So I don't
understand what that means, and I feel like you have
to have a PhD to even figure this out. Transgender
and intersex woman. So is this this is a man
(23:09):
pretending to be a woman but might have sex organs
of both. This is this is the Democrat part. This
is what we've ended up in. I can't even figure
out who they're running. So this is one of the contenders.
I don't think this person would do very well against
Susan Collins. I think a lot of main voters would.
This is not Remember maybe my trans transdar is off
(23:31):
buck because the last time I had this conversation, I
thought that the main Senate candidate was actually a man
pretending to be a woman, and it was just a woman.
So if I remember correctly, that is uh, that is
I'm right, I nailed intersex is a hermaphrodite.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
But they don't like that term.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Is that of the defensive term? Now I know what
a Hermanfordite is.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
It's very unpopular with the hermaphrodite community, so you're supposed
to say it intersex.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Now are we ever going to stop redefining words like
I can't even keep up with what is permissible to
say and what is impermissible to say, and what is
offensive and what is not offensive? And I do feel
like we're starting to punch back against this, But can
we just freeze language and just say, hey, this is
(24:18):
you know, baseball. I don't know if you know this.
They decided that disabled list was too offensive, so they
changed it to the injured list.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
They should have called it the differently abled list.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Differently, I mean at DL. They decided the disabled list
was offensive, so they went back to calling it the
injured list, because disabled implies.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
We got to go, because we got we got the
White House. Steven though they're gonna join us, I'm gonna
hop in here with rapid radios. That's right, my friend's
rapid radios modern day walkie talkies.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
We've been telling you about.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Connect you with anyone anywhere across the US who has
a rapid radio. For all those times you find yourself
in a cell dead zone or in a remote spot
where service is limited, having a rapid radio keeps you connected.
Could be on a hike, a boat ride, a camping weekend.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
Great to have you back, sir, Thank you, great to
be here.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
And great Mumper music.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
By the way, I love that Thank you ed as
a classic. We also we celebrate all Van Hill and
even some of the week or later Van Hill and stuff.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
So tell me this, Stephen.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Because because we've we've sort of a lot of a
lot of our people right now listening, they watched last night.
They're up on what the President said to the degree
you can. What is the next step? The next stage?
He laid out a lot of Chinese meddling in the election.
He laid out a lot of illegals who are registered.
Are we going to purge those illegals? Are people going
(26:45):
to be taking off the rolls? Are some going to
be prosecuted?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Like?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
What are the action items now that follow that White
House speech by the President last night?
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Yes, well, this is again why the passage of the
Save America Act is existential for the country. Let's take
a few of the different issues that you raised. So
there were so many astonishing and staggering revelations in the
President's speech last night, more than we have time to
get through here. But starting with the China piece, so
(27:16):
with the President, and it's all online White House dot gov.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You can go look at it.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
What the President disclosed last night were years of intelligence
reports that were kept hidden not only from the American
people but by the deep state, from the President, documenting
an explicit Chinese state policy of interfering in US elections
(27:41):
in order to hurt President Trump and help President Trump's
political opponents. This was an official goal of the Chinese
Communist Party. If you know anything about the CCP, you
know that they are a highly competent organization.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Right.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
This is not like saying that we found out that
the government of Eritrea decided to meddle in our elections.
That would be bad, wouldn't like it. But the CCP
has extraordinary technological capabilities and extraordinary resources to achieve its
ends and objectives. And as part of that, they were
able to illegally steal and obtain tens of millions of
(28:24):
America's voter records, which of course can be used in
all manner of ways to interfere in the count of
any number of different elections.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Because once you.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Have voters information, once you have their dobs, you have
where they live, you have their signatures, we have that information,
of course, is very easy to create artificial voting records.
The same intelligence documents also showed that the kinds of
election hardware for digital voting, the counting systems that we
(28:55):
use in America, are easily hackable, and they can be
without leaving a trace. So imagine just combining those two facts.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Right in your mind.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
You have a powerful state actor trying to interfere in
your elections, and you have election software that is easily exploitable. Right,
these are incredibly deeply alarming facts. And then on the
point about illegal aliens, So DHS is found just an
a cursory examination, a quarter million non citizens who are on.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Our federal election roles.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
And that doesn't include all of the blue state registrations
because Blue states have refused to turn over their voter files.
So California and New York Illinois haven't shared any voting
systems or voting records. But you put all this together
and what you have. One other important point is the
fact that the FBI uncovered a election rigging scheme in
(29:49):
Michigan in twenty twenty and again concealed it from the president,
and the Biden administration buried it. So is what we
talk about all the time, right The idea that an
mg OH is paying foot soldiers to fraudulently fill out
ballots to change the count was actually happening in the
middle of the election season, and it was killed and
(30:11):
buried and kept for the American people. And of course
that that kind of thing is happening in one place,
it's happening everywhere there's a Democrat machine. The bottom line
is that the US election system is the most unsecured
election system in the world. The question isn't how could
you penetrate it? The question is could you ever have
enough time in a day to list the different ways
(30:33):
that you could penetrate it. There's a there's a post
on the excess going viral right now where a customer
is a real thing. A customer at.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
The Olive Garden.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Was setting a question to all of garden management, asking
if they if they're all you can eat summer pass,
could be shared with their family members, and the All
of Garden Corporate replied and it said, no, your card
has a barcode that you that relate solely to you,
and you must present a photo ID with your All
you Could Eat Pasta pass in order to access All
(31:07):
you Can Eat Pasta. So we've reached the points of
society where access to Setichini at Olive Gardens is vastly
more secure than deciding who is commander in chief of
the country.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
I love that analogy, Alfredo is delicious to be fair,
and people can get pretty heavy hearing.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
I'm not making light of that, and good to Olive
Gardener for doing so.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, look, I mean I think it goes to what
a lot of people out there are frustrated by, which
is the credit card companies. If somebody uses your credit card,
or even maybe if your wife uses a credit card
in the way that maybe she hasn't in the past,
they will immediately contact you. They can see when there
is an a barent result with that. You just used
(31:51):
it as an example the Olive Garden the Save America Act.
This audience, as with most of America, overwhelmingly is in
favor of it passing, but if it's is not going
to pass unfortunately, are there ways to prosecute individuals associated
with what the President laid out last night through the
executive branch? Should we expect something in that direction?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yes, I mean basically, what you're what you're left with
at that point in time is having to individually infiltrate
and investigate schemes to reg elections. So the challenges becomes
one of scale. And again, you guys know this as
well as anybody. The You know, the entire FBI has
(32:35):
eleven thousand specialations, and you know the the New York
City Police Department has thirty three thousand police officers. So
the whole FBI with all this missions, you know, counter terrorism,
counter drug, counter espionage, so on and so forth. Right,
here's eleven thousand people for the whole country. So when
you're talking about schemes in Detroit and Los Angeles and
(32:57):
Manhattan and so on and so forth, the resource is
to interrupt and investigate every single NGO worker, every single
union worker, every single individual who might be engaging in
illicit ballot harvesting, signature forging, anything of.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That nature is vast.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
But yes, to answer your question, we are developing plans
as we speak. I've been in more than a few
meetings about it to make sure that as we head
into the election season that our federal law enforcement is
prepared to the greatest extent of their ability to identify
and disrupt these skids. But ultimately, you have to have
(33:37):
a national secure election infrastructure.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Talking to Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff
for President Donald Trump, Stephen got to ask you about
what's coming for deportation operations, and this is critical to
people who voted for Trump in twenty twenty four. Is
one of the core promises. How do you view what's
gone on so far and what should people be prepared
(34:03):
for going forward?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Well, great question, so it look.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
The good news for you when you're listening audience, is
that the daily deportation rate right now is the highest
it has been since we've been in office, and the
minimuman Ice deserve enormous credit for continuing to get those
numbers up. In addition, the administration is severely cracking down
(34:31):
on the CDL that's the commercial driver's license fraud. So
I think it's probably a good estimate about a third
of the nation's cdl's commercial driver's licenses have been issued
to illegal aliens, and so you have this massive public
safety issue. We've begun the process. It's also a job
(34:52):
theft issue of course too, but we've begun the process
of identifying the firms, the contractors that are engaged in
this criminal activity, and they're going to begin to see
a very severe crackdown. The early reports have gotten on
that are very promising. And then we also have begun
in earnest implementing our banking integrity measures. So you may
(35:13):
remember President Trump sign that executive order a few weeks
ago saying that we are not going to allow with
legal aliens to use banking services in this country, you
know country. To popular perception, the stupid phrase about living
in the shadows, illegal aliens don't live in the shadows.
Thegal aliens have credit cards, they have bank accounts, and
their paid with direct deposit. So illegal aliens fully participate
(35:36):
in the commercial systems, the financial systems of America. Shutting
that down as a massive engine for deportation. And so
the Treasure Department just issued new guidance to financial institutions,
to banks, and so the next step in this process
is us meeting individually with banks and financial institutions on
(35:57):
cooperating with us to remove illegal aliens from the banking system.
Once legal aliens lose their access to capital, that is
going to again be a major driver of self deportations.
These are examples of a few of the things that
we're doing to really get those numbers up dramatically and
get people out of this country who don't belong here.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
We got less than a minute left. Congratulations on the
newest baby. Buck and I have your fourth kid. You
and your wife Katie. Uh. Will we get a Lewis
and Clark series. You and I talked about it at
the White House correspondence dinner. You got thirty seconds to
make it happen.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
You and I need to become the executive producers.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
You and men will be the I don't.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
It's almost unfair.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
It's your idea. I shouldn't get any of the IP.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
But this is two it together. Let's make it happen,
and we'll bring into the American people.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
You're with me. You're gonna be an exact Okay, we're
gonna make this happen. Steven Miller, Clay Travis, We're may
give Bucket production credit. We're gonna make Lewis and Clark happen.
We've got to set this up. Keep up the good work, Steven,
We know how busy you are. Congrats again on that baby,
and we'll talk to you again soon
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition, Clay and Buck,
we got a lot to dive into with you. Just
off the top, FYI, Steven Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff,
one of I would say probably the three most powerful
people working inside of the White House that is not
(00:21):
an elected official. He will join us at twelve forty
five at the bottom of this hour to discuss many
different topics currently at the top of the agenda in
the Trump White House, So just put that on your radar.
May also discuss Bloodsport, Karate Kid, and others of his
favorite movies. He's been coming on for years now. But Buck,
(00:45):
I think pretty clearly right off the top here, the
Trump speech last night at nine pm Eastern, about twenty
five minutes, laid out two things that I thought were
the most significant, and then we will kind of breakdown
what we think the significance of these two assertions from
(01:05):
him were. First of all, he said that two hundred
and twenty million voter files have been hacked by China.
This is cut four listen.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Over a period of years, starting during the twenty twenty
election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what
is believed to be the largest compromise of election data
in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of two hundred
and twenty million US voter files. That information includes names, addresses,
(01:39):
phone numbers, political party preferences, another sensitive data that would
be needed to register to vote and engage in other
nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening. This data
loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Okay, one cut there. The second part that I thought
was the most significant, buck and I'm curious if you
would sign off on this. Let's hear it from President Trump.
He says, two hundred and seventy eight thousand that we
know of non citizens are registered voters in our federal elections.
That's cut twelve to.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Reveal just how vulnerable elections continue to be. We are
releasing the results of a stunning investigation by the Department
of Homeland Security. According to the DHS review state voter
rows and public records, they identified approximately two hundred and
seventy eight thousand non citizens who are registered to vote
(02:39):
in federal elections. Since Democrat states refused to share their
voter files. The real number is actually much higher than that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Okay, one more. Mark Wayne Mullen, DHS Secretary earlier today,
I believe he said, yes, that is true. And these
numbers come from just four states California, in New Jersey, Nevada,
and Pennsylvania cut one two hundred.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And fifty thousand non citizens registered to vote and just
four states. Mind you, we have forty six other states
and just four states. We've identified two hundred and fifty
thousand non citizens registered to vote in California and Pennsylvania,
(03:29):
New Jersey and Nevada. We also worked with proactive states
to identify twenty eight thousand non citizens on their voter rules,
plus four hundred thousand individuals that are still registered to
vote that are deceased.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay, buck this speech last night, like I said twenty
five minutes, I would almost guarantee you that the same
people who told you you, as we discussed yesterday, that
one hundred thousand dollars spent on Facebook ads rigged the
election for Russia, and we had to treat Russia collusion
(04:10):
as the most important story in all of the country
in twenty sixteen, and the Komi Report and everything else
associated with it. They will all tell you that everything
Trump said last night is either a lie or it
is not important. And we've got some cuts on that.
But what was your reaction to last night? Did anything
other than those kind of points that we just played
(04:32):
jump out to you?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Well, I have more questions as a result of the
information that was shared last night. I think it's important
for people to know the scale of, first of all,
the vulnerabilities in our elections. So I'm glad the president
shared that information publicly. But for example, on the issue
(04:55):
of journalists getting paid, yeah, to write story or he's
getting paid by China to write stories? Okay, who I
want to know?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Who?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
If you're telling me that there are journalists that received
money that receive money in order to write negative stories
about the now you can say whether that's you know,
legal or not. I think it is probably legal. But
the point is, all right, if you have this information,
let's know this information. And then on the issue of
(05:29):
the people who are illegals who are registered to vote,
or the foreigners basically who are registered to vote, are
they voting, If they are voting, tell us about the voting.
If they are voting, why can't we catch them voting.
I mean, so this is the thing. He's laid out,
this information, and a lot of it is oh my gosh,
there are vulnerabilities.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Okay. Are the vulnerabilities being exploited?
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Though?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Is the next step?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
And I need to know if they have that information
or not, because that's obviously the most critical thing is
whether they're actually acting on this.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It's one thing to say a lot of people could
be voting illegally.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Are they voting illegally? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You know, and the Chinese influence operation against us? Of
course they're doing it. Look for Trump, this is all
I get it. It's all very personal because of the
Russia collusion lie. The whole thing was absurd. So he's
pointing out, look, of course the Chinese want sleepy Joe
Biden instead of me, and they were running influence operations
and stuff. But for anyone who's saying no, buck, this
is really important. Is anybody going to jail over anything
(06:34):
he said last night? Is one single person going to
be prosecuted for all of the stuff that he talked
about last night? I would say no, I don't think so.
And if that's the case, I would want to know why.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I would echo that I would also say, even go
to prison or any of that. Are we just gonna
get any charges associated with this? And I A So
the part that I thought was tenuous is, Hey, our
voting machines can be hacked. There has been a lot
(07:13):
of discussion about that in the past. If the voting
machines can be hacked, there have been tons of lawsuits
associated with this. We need to have way more information
about what could happen for voting machines. And in particular,
he cited Maduro in Venezuela, which may be a particularly
unique situation there. But I do think in general this
(07:39):
was different than what I thought President Trump might say
because he didn't focus so much on twenty twenty. It
was more looking forward prospectively. And this is where I
do think Trump has a little bit of opportunity here.
I don't think President Trump cares that desk about what
(08:00):
happens in the midterm. Again, He's going to campaign hard,
he's gonna work hard to try to keep the House
and the Senate. But I think President Trump is super
frustrated with the lack of things done by the Republican
House and the Republican Senate. And I think on some
level he has resigned himself to he is going to
(08:21):
be able to do more things through executive order than
he's going to be able to do through Congress passing anything.
And we've almost reached the point buck the Senate goes
on recess for like two weeks in August. I mean
they're about to shut down and then they're not going
to pass anything during the actual season of the campaigning season, right.
(08:44):
So I just feel like, to a large extent, congressional
action is finished. And that might be a pessimistic take,
but I feel like Trump isn't that motivated. Because I
was watching MSNBC and their headline is Trump is terrified
that he's going to lose Congress. I don't think he's
actually that. I mean, he's already been No, he's esecuted,
and the threats that he's faced in the past, like
(09:06):
this is a small one.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Trump has been shot. He's not terrified of the Republican Congress.
He'll be Okay, that's a desperate a desperate plea for
viewers and attention from MSNBC or CNN or whatever. But Clay,
for example, because anyone is saying, well, why are you
talking about the people that might be prosecuted or and
by the way, maybe consequences not just prosecution. For example,
(09:30):
getting fired. Trump said, we didn't play nine yet, did
we know?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Trump said last night the following, I want you to
listen to this and we'll talk about it.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Play nine.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
One email among intelligence analysts admitted that they had quote
deliberately massaged the presidential Daily Briefing to withold information regarding
Chinese activities related to the election. Another official inside the
FBI wrote that she was running quote a shadow government
(10:01):
to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known
and to keep it away from the honorable press. Other
officials who witnessed such efforts perceive the motivations to be
blatantly political.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Okay, have those people been fired? Maybe the answer is yes.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Maybe. But if the answer is yes, why wouldn't they
tell us that.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
This is the part of this where I'm frustrated, because people,
there's a lot.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Of luck, but the bureaucracy works against Trump. And you know,
the swamp is thick and deep, and it's mean to him.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
And yeah, we get all that he's the president. He's
halfway through his second term. If not now when you know,
I mean, people, we got to start to ask for
the order here, so to speak. We got to start saying,
you know, whether it's on deportations or it's on a
whole range of things. If this stuff doesn't happen, when
(10:57):
is it supposed to happen? And Trump's third term, that's
a joke. It's not happening.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
When is it going to get done?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
So I do think that there's a little bit of Okay,
we had this speech last night. Yes, it maybe is
another important thing for passing the Save America Act. I mean,
there's I understand why he did it, but I just
felt like there were a lot of things that were
left open ended. By the way, if he's is he
saying that the twenty twenty election because of this?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Is this?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
What is? Was it stolen because of China? Is that?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Now?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
The is that what people are supposed to think that
China stole the twenty twenty election. If it wasn't China,
then well you're in charge of the government, so tell
us what happened. I think all that's very valid And
my biggest does anyone not say it? By the way,
anyone light me up if you think that explain to
me how that's wrong. Like I want someone out there
(11:50):
to tell me what am I missing here?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think one of the challenges that we are going
to face is no one is going to write about
this at the New York Times, at the Washington Post,
probably at the Wall Street Journal. And you can say,
so what, Clay. A lot of the ability to chase
(12:13):
stories comes from there being a motivation to chase stories.
Let me just put it to you this way, Buck,
what written outlet is the equivalent of the New York
Times or the Washington Post on the right. If you're
listening to read me right now and you are a
multi billionaire and you are thinking, Hey, I want to
(12:36):
impact how the political discourse happens in this country. Go
hire a thousand really committed right leaning journalists and give
them full rein to pursue scandal stories like the New
York Times and the Washington Post do, and we may
(12:56):
start to have a little bit of an equal playing field.
People will point to Fox News. Fox News is a
huge audience. Fox News does not do investigative journalism by
and large as a television network like the New York
Times and the Washington Post do My point on this,
Buck is, if this were a Democrat president, they would
hand over all these files and we would see front
(13:17):
page stories in the New York Times, in the Washington
Post four months unpacking all of these files like we
saw with Russia collusion. And I know producer Greg got
a list of everybody already at all these networks saying
this is not a story, there's nothing here. My concern,
Buck is, even if they're dead to rights, The New
York Post is probably the best example because they did
(13:38):
the Hunter Biden laptop story really well with our friend
Miranda Devine. The New York Post. Nordon, you're as big
as the Washington Post or the New York Times. You
got to have deep dives into all of this to
prove it in some way, and I feel like there's
not anybody out there to do it well.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
The other part of this, Clay or maybe this is
just a guiding principle that I'm approaching all of this
with today, hopefully I do this in general. It's no
longer just asking questions time. It's give us the answers time.
And last night there was a lot of important information,
but it did beg certain questions, and I want to
(14:17):
know why charges bring charges? Now what are we waiting
for here? If this is going on? And also, if
there are a journalists, why can't we know who the journalists?
You can declassify that journalists taking money from China.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Let's know who it is.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
If they're journalists taking money from China to interfere in
a presidential election, let let us know who they are.
If there are illegals who are registered in hundreds of thousands,
are we just not able to catch a single one
of them voting illegally?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Not one? Well, I would think the mere registration would
be a crime. I would think that being registered as
a non citizen. If it's not I don't have the
federal statutes in front of me right now, but being
registered as a non citizen to vote should be a crime.
Because of motor voter registration and a lot of DMV
there's a lot of mistakes that are actually made, and
(15:02):
people because they can get drivers' licenses in some states
also registered to vote in some states. You know, because
they would argue that should be a crime, Like I mean,
if you even if it's unintentional, if you you know
whether you're a citizen or not, like but yes, that
is one of the goals. I mean, we got so
(15:22):
much we can unpack. Let's let's come back and we'll
continue to talk about all of this. But I think
the key question you asked is will there be any
charges brought based on anything that President Trump said last night?
I'm not even asking for convictions. I'm just asking for charges.
Some are great for a lot of things. Outdoor grilling
one of them. What makes grilling even better? How about
(15:43):
great tasting steaks and burgers from our friends at good Ranchers.

Got some talkbacks coming in, some calls on President frum
speech last night. Larry, who listens on WAI in San Antonio, Texas,
this is g hit it.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Buck, thank you so much for being right on this
morning after this speech last night. He did a wonderful
job explaining everything and had the exact same questions I did.
Thank you again for your insight and your intelligence.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
That's right, I start. I love Larry. Larry my second
cousin from San Antonio. But Clay the other side of
the coin a coin, John from Cincinnati listens on KRC radio,
play it fuck.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
If you're trying to get uninvited to this year's.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
White House Christmas party, pretty sure it.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Might be working. Yeah, I don't think I'm going anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well, we're gonna get it to be fair. I don't
think We've gotten a Christmas invite.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
That's what I'm saying. I don't think I don't read that.
I don't think that was in the cards.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
We could ask Steven Miller about that one later, but yeah, no,
it's just obvious.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's the truth.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And I think that people lying down and pretending like
none of this needs to be answered is silly.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
More than four decades ago, a rabbi in New Jersey
formed a nonprofit to help the Jewish population in Israel,
called the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's created
a powerful bond between both countries and the religious faiths
popular in both countries, the Christians and the Jews, and
the innovative work of the IFCJ allows them to respond quickly.
(18:23):
When Israeli residents were attacked by Hamas Terris several years ago,
the IFCJ immediately jumped into action with aid and resources.
Today they're responding to immediate needs in northern Israel, where
residents have been subject to sporadic missile and drone attacks.
I saw that situation on the ground myself in the
north a couple of years ago, in those same exact communities.
(18:46):
To establish your unity with Israel. Go online to FLAGPENIFCJ
dot org, flag PI NIFCJ dot org. We'll continue to
get to your talkbacks and your call. Steven Miller going
(19:07):
to join us at the bottom of the hour from
the White House. We will ask him questions about last
night's speech. I did want to have some fun with
this buck. I know the Senate race there has gone
off the front pages a bit because Graham Platner is
now out. But they had a debate last night among
the new contenders in the Maine Senate Democrat primary quick
(19:34):
turn rig job that they are in the midst of embracing.
And Ashley Webb is running for the Senate in Maine,
and this is what she sounded like last night.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Oh, I ran for office several times, didn't win, but
they didn't run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then
I write my own books, and then I suppose my
transparent I wouldn't lie to the people, and I wouldn't
deceive the people like where you're being deceived right now?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
All right? So is that a man pretending to be
a woman, or is that just the deepest voiced woman
in the history, or is Ashley a name for a man, I'm, I'm, I'm,
I've got like eight different questions. I did know a
guy named Ashley growing up. Actually, just that is a fact,
That's what I'm saying. So I saw the video and
I thought it was a woman. But was I deceived?
(20:26):
Do we know what Ashley Webb's background is? Is? Is
this entire question considered to be reprehensible by me to
be asking? Does the team in New York have any
background checks? Do I need to go into Grock and
see what they say about Ashley Webb? That is Ah,
there are a lot of kooks in the Democrat Party
right now, and Ashley Webb, senate candidate in Maine tell
(20:52):
me about him or her, It's not a good sign.
I probably when you're running from Maybe it is a
good sign for Democrats now where you remember back in
the day, Buck, they probably would execute the person for
doing this today. But you remember the Pat Saturday Night
Live skits where Pat was like you couldn't deal with
Pat was male or female and it was played for laughs.
(21:13):
I mean if you tried to do that today then
you would get utterly o viscerated. I I legit, I
thought this was a woman, and let's see what Grox
says when I when I put this in. But this
is among the contenders that are trying to run against
against right now. Susan Collins. Ah, Okay, she is. I
(21:35):
don't even know what this means. She is a transgender
intersex woman from Farmington, Maine, running for the Democrat nomination.
She has described herself this way on her campaign site. Uh,
I don't know even what that means.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Wait, you didn't You didn't really you didn't know that
that was a trans person or you.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Well, I just saw the video and listen to it,
and I was totally. I was total. I thought it
was just a crack. But man, maybe it's a crazy man.
What is intersect?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
That? That is the trans person that fooled you, the
one that was on the thing.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I was watching. I was watching on my phone. I
was doing breath this morning. I was watching on my phone.
The answer was Crazy's.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Gonna have to watch you and surely make sure you
don't get into trouble, buddy.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And you know what does intersex mean? Do you know
what that is?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Intersex?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah? Yeah, what does that? What does that mean? I?
I honestly mean, you're neither male nor female? So what
is it? But how an interest?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
You're talking about her?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
There?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
So there's physical there's what they used to call hermaphrodite,
which I think now people refer to as intersex, which
is when you have the male and female genitalia both
of them.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Is that what you're this individual?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'm eating from groc I'm trying to decipher this this person.
She is a transgender and intersex woman, So I don't
understand what that means, and I feel like you have
to have a PhD to even figure this out. Transgender
and intersex woman. So is this this is a man
(23:09):
pretending to be a woman but might have sex organs
of both. This is this is the Democrat part. This
is what we've ended up in. I can't even figure
out who they're running. So this is one of the contenders.
I don't think this person would do very well against
Susan Collins. I think a lot of main voters would.
This is not Remember maybe my trans transdar is off
(23:31):
buck because the last time I had this conversation, I
thought that the main Senate candidate was actually a man
pretending to be a woman, and it was just a woman.
So if I remember correctly, that is uh, that is
I'm right, I nailed intersex is a hermaphrodite.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
But they don't like that term.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Is that of the defensive term? Now I know what
a Hermanfordite is.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
It's very unpopular with the hermaphrodite community, so you're supposed
to say it intersex.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Now are we ever going to stop redefining words like
I can't even keep up with what is permissible to
say and what is impermissible to say, and what is
offensive and what is not offensive? And I do feel
like we're starting to punch back against this, But can
we just freeze language and just say, hey, this is
(24:18):
you know, baseball. I don't know if you know this.
They decided that disabled list was too offensive, so they
changed it to the injured list.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
They should have called it the differently abled list.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Differently, I mean at DL. They decided the disabled list
was offensive, so they went back to calling it the
injured list, because disabled implies.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
We got to go, because we got we got the
White House. Steven though they're gonna join us, I'm gonna

senior advisor, just run running all kinds of things there,
mister Miller.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Great to have you back, sir, Thank you, great to
be here.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
And great Mumper music.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
By the way, I love that Thank you ed as
a classic. We also we celebrate all Van Hill and
even some of the week or later Van Hill and stuff.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
So tell me this, Stephen.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Because because we've we've sort of a lot of a
lot of our people right now listening, they watched last night.
They're up on what the President said to the degree
you can. What is the next step? The next stage?
He laid out a lot of Chinese meddling in the election.
He laid out a lot of illegals who are registered.
Are we going to purge those illegals? Are people going
(26:45):
to be taking off the rolls? Are some going to
be prosecuted?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Like?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
What are the action items now that follow that White
House speech by the President last night?
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Yes, well, this is again why the passage of the
Save America Act is existential for the country. Let's take
a few of the different issues that you raised. So
there were so many astonishing and staggering revelations in the
President's speech last night, more than we have time to
get through here. But starting with the China piece, so
(27:16):
with the President, and it's all online White House dot gov.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You can go look at it.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
What the President disclosed last night were years of intelligence
reports that were kept hidden not only from the American
people but by the deep state, from the President, documenting
an explicit Chinese state policy of interfering in US elections
(27:41):
in order to hurt President Trump and help President Trump's
political opponents. This was an official goal of the Chinese
Communist Party. If you know anything about the CCP, you
know that they are a highly competent organization.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Right.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
This is not like saying that we found out that
the government of Eritrea decided to meddle in our elections.
That would be bad, wouldn't like it. But the CCP
has extraordinary technological capabilities and extraordinary resources to achieve its
ends and objectives. And as part of that, they were
able to illegally steal and obtain tens of millions of
(28:24):
America's voter records, which of course can be used in
all manner of ways to interfere in the count of
any number of different elections.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Because once you.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Have voters information, once you have their dobs, you have
where they live, you have their signatures, we have that information,
of course, is very easy to create artificial voting records.
The same intelligence documents also showed that the kinds of
election hardware for digital voting, the counting systems that we
(28:55):
use in America, are easily hackable, and they can be
without leaving a trace. So imagine just combining those two facts.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Right in your mind.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
You have a powerful state actor trying to interfere in
your elections, and you have election software that is easily exploitable. Right,
these are incredibly deeply alarming facts. And then on the
point about illegal aliens, So DHS is found just an
a cursory examination, a quarter million non citizens who are on.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Our federal election roles.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
And that doesn't include all of the blue state registrations
because Blue states have refused to turn over their voter files.
So California and New York Illinois haven't shared any voting
systems or voting records. But you put all this together
and what you have. One other important point is the
fact that the FBI uncovered a election rigging scheme in
(29:49):
Michigan in twenty twenty and again concealed it from the president,
and the Biden administration buried it. So is what we
talk about all the time, right The idea that an
mg OH is paying foot soldiers to fraudulently fill out
ballots to change the count was actually happening in the
middle of the election season, and it was killed and
(30:11):
buried and kept for the American people. And of course
that that kind of thing is happening in one place,
it's happening everywhere there's a Democrat machine. The bottom line
is that the US election system is the most unsecured
election system in the world. The question isn't how could
you penetrate it? The question is could you ever have
enough time in a day to list the different ways
(30:33):
that you could penetrate it. There's a there's a post
on the excess going viral right now where a customer
is a real thing. A customer at.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
The Olive Garden.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Was setting a question to all of garden management, asking
if they if they're all you can eat summer pass,
could be shared with their family members, and the All
of Garden Corporate replied and it said, no, your card
has a barcode that you that relate solely to you,
and you must present a photo ID with your All
you Could Eat Pasta pass in order to access All
(31:07):
you Can Eat Pasta. So we've reached the points of
society where access to Setichini at Olive Gardens is vastly
more secure than deciding who is commander in chief of
the country.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
I love that analogy, Alfredo is delicious to be fair,
and people can get pretty heavy hearing.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
I'm not making light of that, and good to Olive
Gardener for doing so.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, look, I mean I think it goes to what
a lot of people out there are frustrated by, which
is the credit card companies. If somebody uses your credit card,
or even maybe if your wife uses a credit card
in the way that maybe she hasn't in the past,
they will immediately contact you. They can see when there
is an a barent result with that. You just used
(31:51):
it as an example the Olive Garden the Save America Act.
This audience, as with most of America, overwhelmingly is in
favor of it passing, but if it's is not going
to pass unfortunately, are there ways to prosecute individuals associated
with what the President laid out last night through the
executive branch? Should we expect something in that direction?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yes, I mean basically, what you're what you're left with
at that point in time is having to individually infiltrate
and investigate schemes to reg elections. So the challenges becomes
one of scale. And again, you guys know this as
well as anybody. The You know, the entire FBI has
(32:35):
eleven thousand specialations, and you know the the New York
City Police Department has thirty three thousand police officers. So
the whole FBI with all this missions, you know, counter terrorism,
counter drug, counter espionage, so on and so forth. Right,
here's eleven thousand people for the whole country. So when
you're talking about schemes in Detroit and Los Angeles and
(32:57):
Manhattan and so on and so forth, the resource is
to interrupt and investigate every single NGO worker, every single
union worker, every single individual who might be engaging in
illicit ballot harvesting, signature forging, anything of.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That nature is vast.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
But yes, to answer your question, we are developing plans
as we speak. I've been in more than a few
meetings about it to make sure that as we head
into the election season that our federal law enforcement is
prepared to the greatest extent of their ability to identify
and disrupt these skids. But ultimately, you have to have
(33:37):
a national secure election infrastructure.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Talking to Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff
for President Donald Trump, Stephen got to ask you about
what's coming for deportation operations, and this is critical to
people who voted for Trump in twenty twenty four. Is
one of the core promises. How do you view what's
gone on so far and what should people be prepared
(34:03):
for going forward?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Well, great question, so it look.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
The good news for you when you're listening audience, is
that the daily deportation rate right now is the highest
it has been since we've been in office, and the
minimuman Ice deserve enormous credit for continuing to get those
numbers up. In addition, the administration is severely cracking down
(34:31):
on the CDL that's the commercial driver's license fraud. So
I think it's probably a good estimate about a third
of the nation's cdl's commercial driver's licenses have been issued
to illegal aliens, and so you have this massive public
safety issue. We've begun the process. It's also a job
(34:52):
theft issue of course too, but we've begun the process
of identifying the firms, the contractors that are engaged in
this criminal activity, and they're going to begin to see
a very severe crackdown. The early reports have gotten on
that are very promising. And then we also have begun
in earnest implementing our banking integrity measures. So you may
(35:13):
remember President Trump sign that executive order a few weeks
ago saying that we are not going to allow with
legal aliens to use banking services in this country, you
know country. To popular perception, the stupid phrase about living
in the shadows, illegal aliens don't live in the shadows.
Thegal aliens have credit cards, they have bank accounts, and
their paid with direct deposit. So illegal aliens fully participate
(35:36):
in the commercial systems, the financial systems of America. Shutting
that down as a massive engine for deportation. And so
the Treasure Department just issued new guidance to financial institutions,
to banks, and so the next step in this process
is us meeting individually with banks and financial institutions on
(35:57):
cooperating with us to remove illegal aliens from the banking system.
Once legal aliens lose their access to capital, that is
going to again be a major driver of self deportations.
These are examples of a few of the things that
we're doing to really get those numbers up dramatically and
get people out of this country who don't belong here.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
We got less than a minute left. Congratulations on the
newest baby. Buck and I have your fourth kid. You
and your wife Katie. Uh. Will we get a Lewis
and Clark series. You and I talked about it at
the White House correspondence dinner. You got thirty seconds to
make it happen.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
You and I need to become the executive producers.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
You and men will be the I don't.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
It's almost unfair.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
It's your idea. I shouldn't get any of the IP.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
But this is two it together. Let's make it happen,
and we'll bring into the American people.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
You're with me. You're gonna be an exact Okay, we're
gonna make this happen. Steven Miller, Clay Travis, We're may
give Bucket production credit. We're gonna make Lewis and Clark happen.
We've got to set this up. Keep up the good work, Steven,
We know how busy you are. Congrats again on that baby,
and we'll talk to you again soon
