Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a forceful continuation of the program’s central themes—judicial overreach, political lawfare, and the cultural consequences of progressive ideology. Buck Sexton opens the hour by previewing his upcoming book, Manufacturing Delusion: How the Left Uses Brainwashing, Indoctrination, and Propaganda Against You, which explores how totalitarian regimes and modern leftist movements alike manipulate legal systems and public perception to consolidate power. This sets the stage for a detailed critique of the recent appeals court decision upholding the $83 million defamation judgment against President Donald Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case. Buck argues that the ruling is not only excessive but emblematic of a broader effort to weaponize the legal system against political opponents. He underscores how New York’s temporary extension of the statute of limitations enabled the lawsuit, calling it a targeted and unethical maneuver designed to punish Trump retroactively.
The hour also highlights a significant legal victory for the Trump administration, as the Supreme Court lifts a lower court’s restraining order that had blocked federal immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles. Buck credits Trump’s judicial appointments for preserving constitutional sanity and preventing the judiciary from becoming a tool of the anti-Trump resistance. This decision, he argues, reinforces the importance of conservative control over the courts, especially in the face of ongoing efforts to undermine immigration enforcement and national sovereignty.
Listeners weigh in through talkbacks, with one caller from New York pointing out the absurdity of gun laws that criminalize law-abiding citizens while allowing repeat offenders to walk free. Buck echoes this sentiment, sharing personal anecdotes about the draconian nature of New York’s firearm regulations and the broader hypocrisy of progressive criminal justice policies. Another caller from Denver urges Republicans to mobilize for the midterms to take back Congress and begin impeaching activist judges. Buck agrees, but warns that ideological tribalism and performative activism among Democrat voters remain significant obstacles to reform.
The hour concludes with a discussion of President Trump’s recent speech at the Museum of the Bible, where he announced the creation of a Department of Justice task force to combat anti-Christian bias. Buck praises this initiative as a long-overdue response to the institutional hostility toward religious conservatives, particularly in academia and elite cultural institutions. He draws a parallel between modern DEI officers and Soviet political commissars, arguing that the left has embedded ideological enforcers throughout American institutions to suppress dissent and punish wrongthink.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back into the second hour of the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show, and let's talk about the judicial
situation we find ourselves in in this country, showing as
you know, I've got a book coming out in January.
The pre order link will be up soon for Manufacturing Delusion.
(00:20):
That as the title of the book. Very excited to
finally get it out to all of you. It took
a long time for me to actually write it because
I write my own book, or I wrote my own book.
I was going to say books there, but it's the
first book and it took quite a while to get
it through the CIA process. So there will be some
fun Buck old school CIA stories in the book. All cleared,
(00:41):
All fine, No risk of national security because it's also
been quite a while, but those are in the book
as well. So Manufacturing Delusion. I don't think the link
is up on Amazon yet, but it will be soon.
But I bring it up because one of the chapters
in the book is on weaponized law, which I think
is very apropos I think it absolutely is something we
(01:04):
need to think long and hard about at this moment,
as we've seen the weaponization of the justice system really
reach its absolute peak against Donald Trump, and I mean
the political weaponization. That's something that had been building for
a long time. Republicans have been subjected to judicial and
(01:26):
prosecutorial harassment for the most obvious partisan reasons for a
long time. Really goes back to the Bush era, and
it goes back to Scooter Libby. I can speak about
this one in tremendous detail. I was at the CIA
when this whole thing happens. You can imagine, I had
a pretty good idea of what was going on. But
the Scooter Libby case, which was a case where they
(01:49):
brought an investigation about a leak that they knew very
quickly had nothing to do with Scooter Libby, but they
kept the thing going, Oh wait, is it up? Is
it up? Alli? Is that what you're saying? It is up?
All right? Look at that manufacturing delusion, how the left
uses brainwashing, indoctrination, and propaganda against you. You can pre order,
(02:12):
my friends, go check it out. It's a really cool book.
I'm gonna tell you. I think I I've got to
stack here. I think I read something like thirty books
in the research process for it. Now, some of those
books I did sections of or read sections of to
be fair, but it was a lot of reading, a
lot of research. Took me a long time, but it's basically,
how do you make people how do you make people
go crazy in the service of politics of bad politics.
(02:35):
That's the very short thesis. And I think you'll really
enjoy it, so you can go. Please if you do
pre orders, it means they'll probably print more of these
things when it actually comes out, So please go pre
order on the site, you can pre order the kindle.
I think, whatever, pre order whatever you can. But there's
a whole chapter on weaponized law, because this is not
a new thing, but it has been it has been
done until it talitarian societies. That's what I start with.
(02:58):
There's this belief that the law is something that totalitarian
regimes abandoned. It's actually not true. They mutate, bastardize, you know,
transform in the service of evil the law. But they
use the law as a tool. Certainly they did a
(03:19):
Nazi Germany and even the Soviets. The Soviets had a
constitution and you know that was completely ignored. But they
try to take the beginnings, they the foundations of legal
rationale and use it for their own purposes. I bring
this up one because I wanted to tell you about
the book, and I'm very excited. I'll get to do
(03:40):
like signings, will go hang out with you in places
across the country, I think. But again, January is when
the book actually officially will be released. But I just
hope a lot of you buy it. You want me
to write a second book. A lot of you got
to buy this one, because man, this took a lot
of work. I'll tell you this took a lot of work,
and a lot of people in this business. I'm not
gonna name names. A lot of people in this business
they like pay someone to write their book for them.
I don't agree with that. I don't like that. I
(04:02):
don't know unless you're a former president or something, and
everyone assumes somebody else is just writing your ghost writing
your memoir. I write my books. Clay writes his books.
Of course, his book Balls is coming out too, so
you should buy that. But you got two guys who
actually go through that whole process. So it is a
true labor of love for us. All right? Why am
I talking about it today? Though this appeals court has
(04:23):
just denied the Trump effort to toss an eighty three
million dollar judgment in the EG and Carol case that
just happened today. There's so much that's wrong here. Okay,
there's so much about this that is just. But this
is Democrat jury, Democrat city, Democrat judge judges, multiple judges
now going through this, and they're just waging political warfare
(04:46):
through the legal system. Has nothing to do with anything else.
And you know, the judges that are looking at this,
they're not applying to law. What they're doing is wrong.
What they're doing is grotesque. But let's start with this
eighty three million dollars for defamation. How do you come
to that figure? Eighty three Can someone to defame me
(05:09):
and give me eighty three million dollars? I'll take it.
They can say whatever they want eight but they got
to give me eighty three million dollars. Okay, that is
a vast fortune. That is a tremendous eight million dollars
would be a big defamation. You know that. That's like
a pretty major I think Trump got what fourteen million
from CBS News check me on that one, guys. I
(05:29):
think it was fourteen million something like that. That's for
a corporate organization intentionally defaming him. But Trump eighty three
million dollars. You just start with that figure and you
say this is a scam. I mean, this is absurd, absurd.
How do you why not eight? Why not eight trillion dollars?
I just would want to I'd want to ask these judges.
(05:50):
The three judge panel US Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit says, the jury's damage awards are fair and reasonable.
What planet do they live on? What planet are these
people living on? These judges and the jury, they're living
on planet I hate Trump. That's it. That's it. Everything
else is irrelevant. There is no logical way to get here.
(06:13):
In twenty twenty three, this is the Washington Post, a
jury found that Trump had sexually abused Carroll, awarded her
five million dollars in damages. Second Circuit rejected Trump's appeal
in that case. And then you've got this one. A
jury concluded Trump defamed Carol and ordered him to pay
eighty three million dollars. Trump's filing has called this a
(06:35):
grossly excessive, compensatory impunitive damages. Of course it is. But
that's the point, right, that's the point.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I always say the process is the punishment. Well, in
this case, the price tag is the punishment. And just
as we saw with the Letitia James scam, I don't
even remember was what was that guy's hundreds of millions
of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars to take from
Trump in the organization trying to bar his sons from
being able to pract this law. In this I mean, sorry,
I do be officers of a company, not practice law
(07:04):
officers of the company in the state of New York.
What world of these people living in where they think
that this is fair or this is just And that's
just on the scale of the on the scale of
the punit of damage this here, that alone should be
considered laughable to any reasonable person. But remember Trump arrangement
(07:25):
syndrome is real. It should be classified in the DSM,
the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders. It
should be in the DSM. They should put the trans
thing back in the DSM, A gender dysphoria, that's one thing,
and then you should have Trump's arrangement syndrome in there too,
Because people are just when it comes to this guy,
(07:45):
they are absolutely nuts. They will forget about everything, they
will abandon everything. In fact, I talk about this kind
of massisterian mass mobilization. And the wonderful book Manufacturing Delusion,
which you should all go check out and get a
pre order of. This is one of the things I write.
So there's the weaponized law. There's also just engendering, if
you will, or creating mass illusion, mass hysteria. And they've
(08:07):
done this against Trump such that you can't even begin
to reason with people that are in the grips of this,
even though here we are he's president, and like, look
look at it, look at the country. Actually things are
going great as relatively speaking. There's still a lot of problems.
But from the perspective of what decisions are being made
by this administration this first year up to September September
(08:31):
eighth today, the first year, it's an AA minus maybe
for Trump, you know, maybe AA minus. Can't give it
a plus, because that's perfect. It's really good. He's done
a really good job, and the economy is doing very well,
and the country is doing very well overall, and yet
they're still in the grip of Trump arrangement syndrome. I
(08:52):
go to e Gen Carrol's specific suit here as well.
So on the eighty three million dollars, this has just
been upheld. This this is supposed to write her a
check for eighty three million dollars because he said that
you know she I think he said something like she's
not my type and that she's lying. So, now, if
you profess your continued innocence about a sexual assault from
(09:15):
thirty something years ago, thirty something years ago, no criminal
you know, no criminal trial, no criminal charges foul. If
you profess your innocence, you can be sued into destruction. Essentially. Now, well,
Trump's got enough money that he can pay this. But
and then the other part of this that I think
everyone forgets. This was only possible because the state of
(09:35):
New York changed the statute of limitations for adult sexual
assault cases. It would it would have been three years.
This is civil. Remember this is not a criminal This
is not a criminal thing. This is a civil thing.
They extended they gave a one year like statute of
limitations holiday. And this is by the way, I'm just
(09:57):
gonna tell you this is it's wrong what they I
think it's unethical to do that. That the Trump team
brought this up and said that this is this should
be unconstitutional. You're you're changing this status of the law.
And it was used very clearly to go I mean,
to go after Trump here. I know they're gonna say, oh,
but it was gonna be it was in process beforehand.
(10:17):
Egen Carol filed her lawsuit day one that this Statute
of Limitations holiday went into effect. But I mean, you
could create that Statute of Limitations holiday in any number
of contexts, and you effectively negate the whole statute of
limitations where you can go to somebody and say it's
you know, if you accused me of this is what
(10:38):
they did to Kavanaugh. Right, if you accuse somebody of
something from forty years ago now and that there's no
evidence for well, there's also no evidence for them to
be for it to be exculpatory, because you can't immediately,
you can't call the witnesses, you can't bring together now
Kavanaugh actually did to some degree because one that was
a complete and utter lie. Unless someone's a moron, they
(10:58):
could see through the whole thing. But he also had
his calendar and there were some things except that he
could show. But it's really hard to prove you didn't
do a thing to somebody thirty years ago. Uh, when
it's just you saying something, and they're saying something. How
is Trump supposed to prove that he was innocent of this?
(11:19):
How is that supposed to happen? How is he supposed
to even make the case. Someone says, there's no there's
no footage, there's no proof, there's oh, but that The
whole point is that they hate Trump. The whole point
is weaponized law. The whole point is that he has
to now write an eighty three million dollar check to
a woman who went on CNN and said, and I quote,
some people think rape is sexy end quote. That is
(11:39):
what she said. You can pull the audio on that
on CNN, and I remember watching in real time as
Anderson Cooper's face just went, uh Okay, Now this woman's
gonna get an eighty three million dollar check. She's gonna
have multi generational wealth bestowed upon her for this whole thing.
And defamed her. How did he defame her? Trump doesn't
agree with what she said. That's defamatory. Look, we're gonna
(12:05):
have to have a big cleanup of the law in
this country and of people who are in positions of authority.
They have to be removed by whatever processes. This goes,
even to the stabbing to the fatal stabbing of this
brutal murder of this Ukrainian girl, where the judges and
the you have to start saying who allowed this, who
(12:25):
signed off on this, Who were the people in this
chain of events whose job it was to be just
and fair and decent with regard to the law, and
they just abandoned all of that because they like a
person or don't like a person. The judge that let
(12:46):
that maniac free sheet, she's something in that guy she saw.
She goes, he needs a fifteenth or a fourteenth chance.
I see something in him that makes me think I'm
gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. And the
judges in this case, with looking at the EG and
Carol case, they go, h, I'm looking at Trump, and
I'm thinking, no benefit of the doubt. Not that there
should be any doubt in this, but no, I'm going
(13:07):
to go against Trump on this one. Something I see
in him that I don't like. That's not the way
it's supposed to be. It is not supposed to be
left up to the politics of these individuals to determine
what is just, what is fair and one is within
our system. And this is why Trump passed to and
the people that are entrusted by this administration have to
take a strong hand in cleaning up this mess, stopping
(13:29):
this madness from ember happening again. Just because law fair
against Trump failed in this last election does not mean
that the people engaged in it should avoid accountability and
consequences under the law, and that is something we should
apply to all of this going forward. All right, there
was another terrorist attack in Israel this morning. It happened
(13:51):
to a bus stop outside Jerusalem, and a Palestinian gunman opened
fire and civilians, killing six and wounding scores more. It's
been more than seven hundred days since Hamas Terra's first act,
innocent Israeli civilians and taking more than two hundred hostage.
No one wants the current conflicts in that region to
subside more than the average Israeli citizen, whether it's Hesbelo,
the Houthi rebels, the Hamas terrorists, or the nation funding
(14:13):
all their efforts. Iran Israeli citizens are under constant threat
of attack. As a nation, we've been supportive and generous
and we continue to be of our ally Israel and
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is the nonprofit
organization that has built an incredible partnership for us to
help those in need throughout Israel. Your donations to IFCJ

Speaker 2 (14:54):

by find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
All right, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck,
and I've got some news to dive into with you. Here.
I'm just gonna get some of your talkbacks and calls.
So eight hundred two A two two eight eight two
if you want to chat live here on the show.
But this is just coming in. Let me see. Last
hour or so from the ap Supreme Court cleared the
(15:29):
way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations in
Los Angeles, a victory for President Trump's administration in the
High court, conservative majority of course, they got to say that, right,
they got to throw that in there lifted a restraining
order from a judge who found that roving patrols were
conducting indiscriminate stops in and around LA. The order had
(15:51):
barred immigration agents from stopping people based only on race, language, job,
or location. Justice Justice Brett Cavanaugh said that the broad
order went too far in restricting how immigration and customs
enforcement agents carry out Okay, so the point here is
the point. Here is a win for Trump at the court,
(16:14):
the Supreme Court, Thank heavens because of Trump's first win
in the first term. And I will just remind everybody
there were some things that needed to be finished here
in term two. There was unfinished business from term one.
But one place where Trump delivered very well and more
than delivered, saved us from a fate of who Lord knows,
(16:37):
is putting some some good well, some decent judges, some
very good judges, depends who we're talking about. But across
the federal judiciary and some picks on the Supreme Court
obviously made a big difference. Right now, we would be
in a situation where we would be loose ueeing the
(17:01):
anti Trump resistance. Right if Trump had lost. Let's say
Hillary been president. Hello Hillary, Remember Hillary? If Trump had
lost and Hillary had been president, we would be sitting
here and they would be rubber stamping all this anti
Trump madness. You'd have any random Obama, Biden or Hillary
in that case Hillary appointed to you, right, Because assuming
Hillary won just US four years, those judges would just
(17:26):
be shutting down everything that Trump does. They would be
trying to nullify via judicial decree this last election. Because
Trump won that first term, we now are in a
place where at least there's some sanity at the Supreme Court.
At least the Supreme Court isn't going to allow the
outright steamrolling of Trump and his agenda and immigration enforcement.
(17:51):
This is critical. This is at the top of the
list of things that needs to get done. And you know,
we've been talking a lot about about Prime Criminal Justice
Day on the show. No matter where you live, there's
a chance you become the victim of a robbery, a
home invasion. The stats just show this, two home break
ins every minute of the day on average. It's critical
that you are able to protect yourself and you have
(18:12):
the right tools to do so. You can get them
from our friends at Saber, the number one pepper spray
brand trusted by law enforcement. Saber is spelled Sabre and

I'm gonna get some talkbacks here and let's do it.
Shall we b B. Jerry who listens on seven to
ten wo R, but he's in Westchester, New York.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Play it, hey, Buck Jerry from Westchestern, New York, here
where the gun laws are slightly less draconian than in
the city. But you know, as an example of the
left's perverse relationship with gun laws, you know, I've been
lam for automatic semi automatic chuckgun. And if I put
a collopsible stock on and get caught in New York State,
I'll go over to prison, you know, ruin my life.
(19:29):
Yet someone can commit a crime with a gun in
the city and be released the next day.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yes, that is true. What you're talking about is is
the reality in fact New York with you see these
people who are released because no no cash bail, right,
and the jail break bill that Cuomo supposedly the savior
of New York from mom Nani. By the way, m
donny's gonna win. Sorry, I love New York. I still
(19:55):
a family New York. Mc donney's gonna win. It's just
this is just gonna happen. But Cuomo pushed that jail
break bill. And a hat tip my good friend on
seven to ten wor Mark Simone for reminding New Yorkers
and people in the Tristate area about that that it
was Cuomo who was the the you know, the brain,
so to speak, behind that disaster. But in New York
(20:17):
for it for a time, they had a practice of
so I've traveled before with my gun and or with
a handgun, and Ei, there's this whole thing where you
have to check it in. A lot of you you
all know this, but in case anyone doesn't know, those
of you have guns know this. You check it in
at the counter beforehand, like it's skis, you know, like
it's a special luggage even though it's this little case
(20:38):
and you have to show it to them. They take it,
and then you go to the next place, and then
they you have to go to the special luggage area
so they know that you have a firearman, it's kept
in the luggage area of the plan. You obviously can't
take it on board with you. In New York, there
were a number of cases, it's a true story, where
people whose flights were diverted to New York for weather
(21:00):
there were arrested and threatened with prosecution for illegal handgun possession.
Now that's because you can fly to a state like
you know, if you fly to Florida and you're from Alaska,
where I know they've got pretty friendly carry laws. If
you fly from Alaska to Florida, Florida' is like, oh,
(21:20):
you're allowed to have a gun. You're allowed to have
a gun, you know, enjoy here's your gun. There's no problem.
In New York. You have to be a permitted individual
in New York City where the airports are LaGuardia and AFK,
you have to be a permanent individual or else it's
a felony. So they arrested people diverted to the airport.
This is true. You can check this out to the
(21:40):
airport for weather reasons. Just to make it make a
stand about you know, illegal guns. Now, I think in
those cases they ended up not actually taking them all
the way through to prosecution. But it just goes to
show you the mentality. I know somebody who was arrested
for having a registered but then the registration lapped, elapsed.
Twenty gays shotgod in New York City for bird hunting. Okay,
(22:03):
it was you know, like a really nice gun from
what I remember, And the guy would go out and
do you know bird huntings, skeet shooting whatever, the twenty
gauge not even a twelve gage. Arrested, arrested, had to
work it out, you know, it had been registered, but
did it lapsed ors some problem. This is the kind
of stuff that they do. But if you're a gang banger,
if you're a guy who's you know, on arrest number twenty,
(22:24):
the DA's like, ah, what are we gonna do. Actually
incarcerate this person, let him go. Maybe he'll show up
the court eventually. This is this has got to stop.
This is crazy. Let's do a trent from Denver. It
listens on Freedom ninety three seven cc hit it claim buck.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
The answer to everything that ills us is for us
to get out to vote in the mid terms. You
guys should be pounding the drum for there to be
a huge turnout.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Of Republican voters so that we can take.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
The House and Senate with wide margins and starting teaching
these judges.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I love the idea. I love the idea. Can we
get there? A lot of people in this country voter
for Kamala Just remember that, A lot a lot Kamala Harris,
and they would do it again. Now I understand midterms Congress.
My point is merely there's a lot of bad judgment
(23:23):
out there on politics and people. They have this ideological
and tribal affiliation with being a Democrat and what the
Democrat Party actually stands for today, what it has become,
does not matter to them because it is about their
own personal branding. Oh I'm a good person, I care
you know, free Palestine. What do you care about you
(23:45):
think the Palestinian Do you think these people that are
all whining about how we got a free Palestine, you
think the Palestinians care about them or would care about them.
It's all just for show. It's all just a game
to a lot of these individuals. And this is and
pointed out by many others and many many times over,
but I'll just say it. You know, there's such a
(24:06):
close correlation between people who become obsessed telling everybody how
much they care about issues that they can't do anything
about and that don't have any impact on their life whatsoever,
and people that want to ignore that they're not being
a good husband or wife, son or daughter, colleague, neighbor, parishioner, whatever.
(24:30):
They don't want to deal with the things that they
can actually do things about in life that would matter.
This is I know, this is every live that you know,
right or that are you know, put the putting the
Ukrainian flag up and they put the black square up
after BLM, and that told everybody they double masked, and
that say they wish they could pay higher taxes, but
they don't. You can give whatever you want to the government.
(24:50):
There's like a little form when you do your taxes.
If you do your taxes, you can give whatever extra
you want. Like it's like when they do a mandatory
twenty percent tip, and a lot of restaurants in South
Beach now they do this, and then they a little
thing that's additional tip, and a lot of people are like, now,
it's one thing if you want to do that, right,
but it always you have to click out of the
additional tip now, so it's like, what a thirty forty
fifty percent tip is what is acceptable? I'm actually somebody.
(25:13):
I just want them to just start to like, just
give me the bill that you want, the money that
you want to you know, stop asking me to do math. Really, Like,
I don't want to do math anymore when I'm out
at restaurants anyway. I think that we have reached a
point where people are seeing increasingly that the Democrat Party
(25:33):
cannot be trusted with power at all, and they have
gone insane. Really, I really mean this. I would not
have made this argument, certainly in the early two thousands
the same way when there was there was broader agreement
on some things. But in the last ten years things
have really gone really gone off the rails. But yes,
(25:54):
to impeach judges. To do this, I think would be
a great goal to have, But it's very complicated because
there are these people who would rather pretend that they
care about about it used to be a long time ago, right.
The snide comment was, oh, you just want to save
the whales, right? You know, I actually love animals, so
(26:15):
saving the whales probably be a nice thing to do.
But the point is, or save the rainforest or save
the whatever. But you're not actually doing anything to do anything.
These people that are saying this, right, the Greta what's
her name, Greta Thunberg Thunberg, who is now taken up Palestine.
Of course she it was climate change, now it's Palestine.
(26:35):
She is a perfect avatar for this malady on a
global scale. But take it all the way down to
the individual. Okay, this is unfortunately the psychological condition of
the modern democrat, leftist, however you want to describe it.
In America, communist. I love that one because it upsets them,
(26:58):
so of course I should say it. But this singular,
the singular thing that you have in common for so
many of them is this desire to tell everybody how
much they care about things that don't matter, so they
can avoid having to take accountability and responsibility for things
that do matter. And once you start to apply that
logic to all this, but it's true on the crime
(27:20):
issue as well. It's true on the crime issue. Oh,
you know, I think we should have more social justice
and I think we should have you know, thirtieth chances
for violent offenders and elesis. Well, hold on a second,
Hold on a second. You know, are you doing anything
to make your neighborhood safer? Are you? Are you advocating
for now? I'm talking about people who say that you
(27:41):
know who say, let's say, live in Malibu and they're
advocating against Trump in DC, or they're advocating against what
Trump wants to do in Chicago. You see, you know
what what? Oh you mean you're safe to begin with,
So you're safe to begin with. So you pretend that
you care so much about what's going on with other
people are making them less safe in the process. But
(28:02):
it makes you feel good, it makes them feel good.
I wish we still had the term limousine. Liberal was
such a such a nice pejorative, but limousines aren't really
a thing anymore. I was always kind of anti limousine.
I only wrote in them a couple of times in
my life, like special occasion stuff going to prom right,
people get it, we get a limo to go to
(28:22):
prompt They weren't that comfortable. It was kind of a
funny thing. It was like the height of luxury in
the eighties. You were a limo, right, it was always
a and you realize you're sitting sideways or sometimes back
to the and the seats weren't very comfortable. So they've
changed all that. But limousine liberal was a was a
great and they always had that. Did anyone ever drink
you guys know what I mean? They always had the
(28:42):
was it whiskey or I don't know whatever liquor in
those little glass decanters or whatever you call them that
were Did anyone ever drink that stuff? Every limo is
ever in. I looked at that stuff. I was like,
is that just apple juice? What is that? Of course
I would never drink, especially underage. But yeah, So this
is something that we're now seeing more and more from
(29:05):
the Democrat Party, and they keep digging deeper into all
of this, and I think that it's going to become
very apparent to people that what this, what this talkback
gets to is we just we just need to do
everything possible to keep these people out of power because
they make everything worse. They don't have good ideas and
(29:26):
they're not helpful, and when they're in charge, bad things
happen to people. Truly bad things happen to people. So
we got to work with everything that we have to
make sure that it doesn't happen. I mean, think about
how much better the country is right now than if
we had a president Kamala Harris that could have happened.
I know, we think now, oh Trump, you know, kicked
your button. He wants so much, and which is true,
(29:48):
but it was a closer thing than it should have been,
much closer thing than it should have been. All right, look,
every you know, you know what I did yesterday? I
watched the US Open and a true story in my amazing,
amazing wife, Carrie, so fantastic, great mom, great wife, she
just decided to surprise me, surprised my brother who was
watching the US Open with me, with wings. She made
(30:13):
homemade wings. They were like Korean sticky barbecue wings with
the chicken wings that I just got in my box
from Good Ranchers and these wings were absolutely delicious. By
the way, men, they were good good ranchers. Their proteins
are from American ranchers and farmers. No antibiotics, no hormones,
no seed oil. It's kind of food you want to
feed your family. It's what I just ate yesterday, my
brother and I and carry got it in on to you.
(30:34):
We polished off those wings. But I've also got fantastic
bone in New York strips. My box just came on Friday.
My Good Rancher's Box just arrived. I look forward to

my freezer that I clear out. I mean, it's a
whole shelf just for my Good Ranchers. It's a Good

but my Good Rancher shelf is where I keep my proteins.
(30:56):

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Two guys walk up to a mic Hey Anything goes
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
We'll remind you all to drink some Krocket coffee. My friends.
We've got my over Mountain Club mug in my hand
right here. Crocketcoffee dot com and you could subscribe. We
got mushroom coffee that if you never tried, it's really cool.
But also light roast, medium roast, hole being, ground being,
k cuffs, all that stuff. We're actually working on a
new exciting product now too, because we're trying to do
more and more stuff and part of our mission is
(32:21):
to be sponsors on various conservative shows and podcasts out there,
which we're already doing and we're gonna be doing more
and more of that so that we can help the
conservative economy flourish in media. Because telling me those Madison
Avenue ad buyers and they're still we're still blocked out
on that stuff. But whatever, you know, we keep fighting
(32:43):
through things. It's how we are. It's always been. It's
been good, I think as a conservative to be in
the opposition, to be the counter the counter regime, the
counter revolution since I was I don't know, fourteen or
fifteen years old, so pretty used to it at this point.
But yes, I think something interesting was said by a
lot of things actually interesting said by Trump at the
(33:05):
Museum of the Bible speech. But he spoke about this
has cut thirty one team. He spoke about something that
we should speak about more frequently. And I think in
particular this week, people are going to want to talk
about it.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Play thirty one and I created the first ever Department
of Justice task Force to eradicate anti Christian bias. And
to those people that are a little bit naive or
not well read, there is a tremendous anti Christian bias.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
We don't hear about it. We don't think about it.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
You hear about anti Semitic, but you don't hear about
anti Christian. They have a strong anti Christian bias.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But we're ending that rapidly. I will tell you it's
a whole We're in a much.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Different world today than we were one year ago.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Now, this has been real in the universities and for
a long time. I think William F. Buckley wrote God
and Man at Yale, I don't even know how many
decades ago. The anti Christian approach of these institutions, these
universities is something. You know, the anti Semitism, which ties
(34:10):
very much into the Israel Palestine situation that you've seen
a lot of obviously since October seventh, but the anti
Christian sentiment coming from the top of the administration all
the way down, particularly these so called the lead schools.
It's been very real for a long time. But here's
(34:31):
what's so critical about what Trump is doing. He is
taking the approach that we cannot allow institutional capture to
just continue as it is, because what you have is
a situation where even when Democrats lose elections, they keep
a lot of their power because they have been intentionally
(34:56):
seeded into integrated into the the HR departments and the
university admissions committees, and you go to all these places.
It reminds me of the this is you know, I
learned about the first time I really read about Soviet
political officers was on the Hunt for Red October, which
(35:18):
is I still think the best Tom Clancy book, because
you know, I'm a big Clancy fan. Tom Clancy fan,
and it's probably why I joined the CIA. Is Tom
Clancy books pretty remarkable, And I think about that in retrospect.
Clancy and Crichton were the two authors that I read
in grade school that I really really liked, and I
was just just tearing through those books. But you remember
from the Hunt for Red October there's this little person
(35:40):
whose job and this was true in Soviet society, whether
it was in a corporation or on ship, there was
a person who was the political officer, and they were
just there to shout down wrong think and to punish
wrong think from anybody. And we've had that in the
well in the PC and DEI era of America. There
(36:03):
are people who exist in these institutions who are there
to punish wrong think and by the way, also to
attack enemies of the leftist regime, including Christians, including believing Jews,
right people that are not secular leftists of Jewish faith.
Like this has been the move, This has been what
(36:24):
they are doing. And Trump is working to set this right.
And it is the first time any Republican has really
made this part of the mission. It is absolutely essential.
I've got another, this is troubling one another story to
talk to you about, a crime story that will tie
into that murder of that young Ukrainian girl. We'll talk
(36:44):
about in a couple of minutes.
Welcome back into the second hour of the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show, and let's talk about the judicial
situation we find ourselves in in this country, showing as
you know, I've got a book coming out in January.
The pre order link will be up soon for Manufacturing Delusion.
(00:20):
That as the title of the book. Very excited to
finally get it out to all of you. It took
a long time for me to actually write it because
I write my own book, or I wrote my own book.
I was going to say books there, but it's the
first book and it took quite a while to get
it through the CIA process. So there will be some
fun Buck old school CIA stories in the book. All cleared,
(00:41):
All fine, No risk of national security because it's also
been quite a while, but those are in the book
as well. So Manufacturing Delusion. I don't think the link
is up on Amazon yet, but it will be soon.
But I bring it up because one of the chapters
in the book is on weaponized law, which I think
is very apropos I think it absolutely is something we
(01:04):
need to think long and hard about at this moment,
as we've seen the weaponization of the justice system really
reach its absolute peak against Donald Trump, and I mean
the political weaponization. That's something that had been building for
a long time. Republicans have been subjected to judicial and
(01:26):
prosecutorial harassment for the most obvious partisan reasons for a
long time. Really goes back to the Bush era, and
it goes back to Scooter Libby. I can speak about
this one in tremendous detail. I was at the CIA
when this whole thing happens. You can imagine, I had
a pretty good idea of what was going on. But
the Scooter Libby case, which was a case where they
(01:49):
brought an investigation about a leak that they knew very
quickly had nothing to do with Scooter Libby, but they
kept the thing going, Oh wait, is it up? Is
it up? Alli? Is that what you're saying? It is up?
All right? Look at that manufacturing delusion, how the left
uses brainwashing, indoctrination, and propaganda against you. You can pre order,
(02:12):
my friends, go check it out. It's a really cool book.
I'm gonna tell you. I think I I've got to
stack here. I think I read something like thirty books
in the research process for it. Now, some of those
books I did sections of or read sections of to
be fair, but it was a lot of reading, a
lot of research. Took me a long time, but it's basically,
how do you make people how do you make people
go crazy in the service of politics of bad politics.
(02:35):
That's the very short thesis. And I think you'll really
enjoy it, so you can go. Please if you do
pre orders, it means they'll probably print more of these
things when it actually comes out, So please go pre
order on the site, you can pre order the kindle.
I think, whatever, pre order whatever you can. But there's
a whole chapter on weaponized law, because this is not
a new thing, but it has been it has been
done until it talitarian societies. That's what I start with.
(02:58):
There's this belief that the law is something that totalitarian
regimes abandoned. It's actually not true. They mutate, bastardize, you know,
transform in the service of evil the law. But they
use the law as a tool. Certainly they did a
(03:19):
Nazi Germany and even the Soviets. The Soviets had a
constitution and you know that was completely ignored. But they
try to take the beginnings, they the foundations of legal
rationale and use it for their own purposes. I bring
this up one because I wanted to tell you about
the book, and I'm very excited. I'll get to do
(03:40):
like signings, will go hang out with you in places
across the country, I think. But again, January is when
the book actually officially will be released. But I just
hope a lot of you buy it. You want me
to write a second book. A lot of you got
to buy this one, because man, this took a lot
of work. I'll tell you this took a lot of work,
and a lot of people in this business. I'm not
gonna name names. A lot of people in this business
they like pay someone to write their book for them.
I don't agree with that. I don't like that. I
(04:02):
don't know unless you're a former president or something, and
everyone assumes somebody else is just writing your ghost writing
your memoir. I write my books. Clay writes his books.
Of course, his book Balls is coming out too, so
you should buy that. But you got two guys who
actually go through that whole process. So it is a
true labor of love for us. All right? Why am
I talking about it today? Though this appeals court has
(04:23):
just denied the Trump effort to toss an eighty three
million dollar judgment in the EG and Carol case that
just happened today. There's so much that's wrong here. Okay,
there's so much about this that is just. But this
is Democrat jury, Democrat city, Democrat judge judges, multiple judges
now going through this, and they're just waging political warfare
(04:46):
through the legal system. Has nothing to do with anything else.
And you know, the judges that are looking at this,
they're not applying to law. What they're doing is wrong.
What they're doing is grotesque. But let's start with this
eighty three million dollars for defamation. How do you come
to that figure? Eighty three Can someone to defame me
(05:09):
and give me eighty three million dollars? I'll take it.
They can say whatever they want eight but they got
to give me eighty three million dollars. Okay, that is
a vast fortune. That is a tremendous eight million dollars
would be a big defamation. You know that. That's like
a pretty major I think Trump got what fourteen million
from CBS News check me on that one, guys. I
(05:29):
think it was fourteen million something like that. That's for
a corporate organization intentionally defaming him. But Trump eighty three
million dollars. You just start with that figure and you
say this is a scam. I mean, this is absurd, absurd.
How do you why not eight? Why not eight trillion dollars?
I just would want to I'd want to ask these judges.
(05:50):
The three judge panel US Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit says, the jury's damage awards are fair and reasonable.
What planet do they live on? What planet are these
people living on? These judges and the jury, they're living
on planet I hate Trump. That's it. That's it. Everything
else is irrelevant. There is no logical way to get here.
(06:13):
In twenty twenty three, this is the Washington Post, a
jury found that Trump had sexually abused Carroll, awarded her
five million dollars in damages. Second Circuit rejected Trump's appeal
in that case. And then you've got this one. A
jury concluded Trump defamed Carol and ordered him to pay
eighty three million dollars. Trump's filing has called this a
(06:35):
grossly excessive, compensatory impunitive damages. Of course it is. But
that's the point, right, that's the point.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I always say the process is the punishment. Well, in
this case, the price tag is the punishment. And just
as we saw with the Letitia James scam, I don't
even remember was what was that guy's hundreds of millions
of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars to take from
Trump in the organization trying to bar his sons from
being able to pract this law. In this I mean, sorry,
I do be officers of a company, not practice law
(07:04):
officers of the company in the state of New York.
What world of these people living in where they think
that this is fair or this is just And that's
just on the scale of the on the scale of
the punit of damage this here, that alone should be
considered laughable to any reasonable person. But remember Trump arrangement
(07:25):
syndrome is real. It should be classified in the DSM,
the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders. It
should be in the DSM. They should put the trans
thing back in the DSM, A gender dysphoria, that's one thing,
and then you should have Trump's arrangement syndrome in there too,
Because people are just when it comes to this guy,
(07:45):
they are absolutely nuts. They will forget about everything, they
will abandon everything. In fact, I talk about this kind
of massisterian mass mobilization. And the wonderful book Manufacturing Delusion,
which you should all go check out and get a
pre order of. This is one of the things I write.
So there's the weaponized law. There's also just engendering, if
you will, or creating mass illusion, mass hysteria. And they've
(08:07):
done this against Trump such that you can't even begin
to reason with people that are in the grips of this,
even though here we are he's president, and like, look
look at it, look at the country. Actually things are
going great as relatively speaking. There's still a lot of problems.
But from the perspective of what decisions are being made
by this administration this first year up to September September
(08:31):
eighth today, the first year, it's an AA minus maybe
for Trump, you know, maybe AA minus. Can't give it
a plus, because that's perfect. It's really good. He's done
a really good job, and the economy is doing very well,
and the country is doing very well overall, and yet
they're still in the grip of Trump arrangement syndrome. I
(08:52):
go to e Gen Carrol's specific suit here as well.
So on the eighty three million dollars, this has just
been upheld. This this is supposed to write her a
check for eighty three million dollars because he said that
you know she I think he said something like she's
not my type and that she's lying. So, now, if
you profess your continued innocence about a sexual assault from
(09:15):
thirty something years ago, thirty something years ago, no criminal
you know, no criminal trial, no criminal charges foul. If
you profess your innocence, you can be sued into destruction. Essentially. Now, well,
Trump's got enough money that he can pay this. But
and then the other part of this that I think
everyone forgets. This was only possible because the state of
(09:35):
New York changed the statute of limitations for adult sexual
assault cases. It would it would have been three years.
This is civil. Remember this is not a criminal This
is not a criminal thing. This is a civil thing.
They extended they gave a one year like statute of
limitations holiday. And this is by the way, I'm just
(09:57):
gonna tell you this is it's wrong what they I
think it's unethical to do that. That the Trump team
brought this up and said that this is this should
be unconstitutional. You're you're changing this status of the law.
And it was used very clearly to go I mean,
to go after Trump here. I know they're gonna say, oh,
but it was gonna be it was in process beforehand.
(10:17):
Egen Carol filed her lawsuit day one that this Statute
of Limitations holiday went into effect. But I mean, you
could create that Statute of Limitations holiday in any number
of contexts, and you effectively negate the whole statute of
limitations where you can go to somebody and say it's
you know, if you accused me of this is what
(10:38):
they did to Kavanaugh. Right, if you accuse somebody of
something from forty years ago now and that there's no
evidence for well, there's also no evidence for them to
be for it to be exculpatory, because you can't immediately,
you can't call the witnesses, you can't bring together now
Kavanaugh actually did to some degree because one that was
a complete and utter lie. Unless someone's a moron, they
(10:58):
could see through the whole thing. But he also had
his calendar and there were some things except that he
could show. But it's really hard to prove you didn't
do a thing to somebody thirty years ago. Uh, when
it's just you saying something, and they're saying something. How
is Trump supposed to prove that he was innocent of this?
(11:19):
How is that supposed to happen? How is he supposed
to even make the case. Someone says, there's no there's
no footage, there's no proof, there's oh, but that The
whole point is that they hate Trump. The whole point
is weaponized law. The whole point is that he has
to now write an eighty three million dollar check to
a woman who went on CNN and said, and I quote,
some people think rape is sexy end quote. That is
(11:39):
what she said. You can pull the audio on that
on CNN, and I remember watching in real time as
Anderson Cooper's face just went, uh Okay, Now this woman's
gonna get an eighty three million dollar check. She's gonna
have multi generational wealth bestowed upon her for this whole thing.
And defamed her. How did he defame her? Trump doesn't
agree with what she said. That's defamatory. Look, we're gonna
(12:05):
have to have a big cleanup of the law in
this country and of people who are in positions of authority.
They have to be removed by whatever processes. This goes,
even to the stabbing to the fatal stabbing of this
brutal murder of this Ukrainian girl, where the judges and
the you have to start saying who allowed this, who
(12:25):
signed off on this, Who were the people in this
chain of events whose job it was to be just
and fair and decent with regard to the law, and
they just abandoned all of that because they like a
person or don't like a person. The judge that let
(12:46):
that maniac free sheet, she's something in that guy she saw.
She goes, he needs a fifteenth or a fourteenth chance.
I see something in him that makes me think I'm
gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. And the
judges in this case, with looking at the EG and
Carol case, they go, h, I'm looking at Trump, and
I'm thinking, no benefit of the doubt. Not that there
should be any doubt in this, but no, I'm going
(13:07):
to go against Trump on this one. Something I see
in him that I don't like. That's not the way
it's supposed to be. It is not supposed to be
left up to the politics of these individuals to determine
what is just, what is fair and one is within
our system. And this is why Trump passed to and
the people that are entrusted by this administration have to
take a strong hand in cleaning up this mess, stopping
(13:29):
this madness from ember happening again. Just because law fair
against Trump failed in this last election does not mean
that the people engaged in it should avoid accountability and
consequences under the law, and that is something we should
apply to all of this going forward. All right, there
was another terrorist attack in Israel this morning. It happened
(13:51):
to a bus stop outside Jerusalem, and a Palestinian gunman opened
fire and civilians, killing six and wounding scores more. It's
been more than seven hundred days since Hamas Terra's first act,
innocent Israeli civilians and taking more than two hundred hostage.
No one wants the current conflicts in that region to
subside more than the average Israeli citizen, whether it's Hesbelo,
the Houthi rebels, the Hamas terrorists, or the nation funding
(14:13):
all their efforts. Iran Israeli citizens are under constant threat
of attack. As a nation, we've been supportive and generous
and we continue to be of our ally Israel and
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is the nonprofit
organization that has built an incredible partnership for us to
help those in need throughout Israel. Your donations to IFCJ
provide critical first aid and emergency services. Now is your
(14:36):
time to help Israel's innocent and most vulnerable. To rush
your gift. Call eighty eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's
eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. Or go online to
this website IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Stories are freedom stories of America. Inspirational stories that you
know us all each day. Spend time with Clay and
by find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
All right, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck,
and I've got some news to dive into with you. Here.
I'm just gonna get some of your talkbacks and calls.
So eight hundred two A two two eight eight two
if you want to chat live here on the show.
But this is just coming in. Let me see. Last
hour or so from the ap Supreme Court cleared the
(15:29):
way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations in
Los Angeles, a victory for President Trump's administration in the
High court, conservative majority of course, they got to say that, right,
they got to throw that in there lifted a restraining
order from a judge who found that roving patrols were
conducting indiscriminate stops in and around LA. The order had
(15:51):
barred immigration agents from stopping people based only on race, language, job,
or location. Justice Justice Brett Cavanaugh said that the broad
order went too far in restricting how immigration and customs
enforcement agents carry out Okay, so the point here is
the point. Here is a win for Trump at the court,
(16:14):
the Supreme Court, Thank heavens because of Trump's first win
in the first term. And I will just remind everybody
there were some things that needed to be finished here
in term two. There was unfinished business from term one.
But one place where Trump delivered very well and more
than delivered, saved us from a fate of who Lord knows,
(16:37):
is putting some some good well, some decent judges, some
very good judges, depends who we're talking about. But across
the federal judiciary and some picks on the Supreme Court
obviously made a big difference. Right now, we would be
in a situation where we would be loose ueeing the
(17:01):
anti Trump resistance. Right if Trump had lost. Let's say
Hillary been president. Hello Hillary, Remember Hillary? If Trump had
lost and Hillary had been president, we would be sitting
here and they would be rubber stamping all this anti
Trump madness. You'd have any random Obama, Biden or Hillary
in that case Hillary appointed to you, right, Because assuming
Hillary won just US four years, those judges would just
(17:26):
be shutting down everything that Trump does. They would be
trying to nullify via judicial decree this last election. Because
Trump won that first term, we now are in a
place where at least there's some sanity at the Supreme Court.
At least the Supreme Court isn't going to allow the
outright steamrolling of Trump and his agenda and immigration enforcement.
(17:51):
This is critical. This is at the top of the
list of things that needs to get done. And you know,
we've been talking a lot about about Prime Criminal Justice
Day on the show. No matter where you live, there's
a chance you become the victim of a robbery, a
home invasion. The stats just show this, two home break
ins every minute of the day on average. It's critical
that you are able to protect yourself and you have
(18:12):
the right tools to do so. You can get them
from our friends at Saber, the number one pepper spray
brand trusted by law enforcement. Saber is spelled Sabre and
the website is Saber radio dot com. Look, we've got
one of pretty much all their products here in this house.
Play and Laura and his family. They've got Saber products.
These guys are trusted, they know what they're doing. They've
(18:34):
ben at this for fifty years. Non lethal self defense
that really works from Saber. Their pepper gel launcher is
the best. Go get the bundle right now. You'll see
good to Saber radio dot com. That's Sabre radio dot Com.
You'll say fifteen percent there or call eight four four

I'm gonna get some talkbacks here and let's do it.
Shall we b B. Jerry who listens on seven to
ten wo R, but he's in Westchester, New York.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Play it, hey, Buck Jerry from Westchestern, New York, here
where the gun laws are slightly less draconian than in
the city. But you know, as an example of the
left's perverse relationship with gun laws, you know, I've been
lam for automatic semi automatic chuckgun. And if I put
a collopsible stock on and get caught in New York State,
I'll go over to prison, you know, ruin my life.
(19:29):
Yet someone can commit a crime with a gun in
the city and be released the next day.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yes, that is true. What you're talking about is is
the reality in fact New York with you see these
people who are released because no no cash bail, right,
and the jail break bill that Cuomo supposedly the savior
of New York from mom Nani. By the way, m
donny's gonna win. Sorry, I love New York. I still
(19:55):
a family New York. Mc donney's gonna win. It's just
this is just gonna happen. But Cuomo pushed that jail
break bill. And a hat tip my good friend on
seven to ten wor Mark Simone for reminding New Yorkers
and people in the Tristate area about that that it
was Cuomo who was the the you know, the brain,
so to speak, behind that disaster. But in New York
(20:17):
for it for a time, they had a practice of
so I've traveled before with my gun and or with
a handgun, and Ei, there's this whole thing where you
have to check it in. A lot of you you
all know this, but in case anyone doesn't know, those
of you have guns know this. You check it in
at the counter beforehand, like it's skis, you know, like
it's a special luggage even though it's this little case
(20:38):
and you have to show it to them. They take it,
and then you go to the next place, and then
they you have to go to the special luggage area
so they know that you have a firearman, it's kept
in the luggage area of the plan. You obviously can't
take it on board with you. In New York, there
were a number of cases, it's a true story, where
people whose flights were diverted to New York for weather
(21:00):
there were arrested and threatened with prosecution for illegal handgun possession.
Now that's because you can fly to a state like
you know, if you fly to Florida and you're from Alaska,
where I know they've got pretty friendly carry laws. If
you fly from Alaska to Florida, Florida' is like, oh,
(21:20):
you're allowed to have a gun. You're allowed to have
a gun, you know, enjoy here's your gun. There's no problem.
In New York. You have to be a permitted individual
in New York City where the airports are LaGuardia and AFK,
you have to be a permanent individual or else it's
a felony. So they arrested people diverted to the airport.
This is true. You can check this out to the
(21:40):
airport for weather reasons. Just to make it make a
stand about you know, illegal guns. Now, I think in
those cases they ended up not actually taking them all
the way through to prosecution. But it just goes to
show you the mentality. I know somebody who was arrested
for having a registered but then the registration lapped, elapsed.
Twenty gays shotgod in New York City for bird hunting. Okay,
(22:03):
it was you know, like a really nice gun from
what I remember, And the guy would go out and
do you know bird huntings, skeet shooting whatever, the twenty
gauge not even a twelve gage. Arrested, arrested, had to
work it out, you know, it had been registered, but
did it lapsed ors some problem. This is the kind
of stuff that they do. But if you're a gang banger,
if you're a guy who's you know, on arrest number twenty,
(22:24):
the DA's like, ah, what are we gonna do. Actually
incarcerate this person, let him go. Maybe he'll show up
the court eventually. This is this has got to stop.
This is crazy. Let's do a trent from Denver. It
listens on Freedom ninety three seven cc hit it claim buck.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
The answer to everything that ills us is for us
to get out to vote in the mid terms. You
guys should be pounding the drum for there to be
a huge turnout.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Of Republican voters so that we can take.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
The House and Senate with wide margins and starting teaching
these judges.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I love the idea. I love the idea. Can we
get there? A lot of people in this country voter
for Kamala Just remember that, A lot a lot Kamala Harris,
and they would do it again. Now I understand midterms Congress.
My point is merely there's a lot of bad judgment
(23:23):
out there on politics and people. They have this ideological
and tribal affiliation with being a Democrat and what the
Democrat Party actually stands for today, what it has become,
does not matter to them because it is about their
own personal branding. Oh I'm a good person, I care
you know, free Palestine. What do you care about you
(23:45):
think the Palestinian Do you think these people that are
all whining about how we got a free Palestine, you
think the Palestinians care about them or would care about them.
It's all just for show. It's all just a game
to a lot of these individuals. And this is and
pointed out by many others and many many times over,
but I'll just say it. You know, there's such a
(24:06):
close correlation between people who become obsessed telling everybody how
much they care about issues that they can't do anything
about and that don't have any impact on their life whatsoever,
and people that want to ignore that they're not being
a good husband or wife, son or daughter, colleague, neighbor, parishioner, whatever.
(24:30):
They don't want to deal with the things that they
can actually do things about in life that would matter.
This is I know, this is every live that you know,
right or that are you know, put the putting the
Ukrainian flag up and they put the black square up
after BLM, and that told everybody they double masked, and
that say they wish they could pay higher taxes, but
they don't. You can give whatever you want to the government.
(24:50):
There's like a little form when you do your taxes.
If you do your taxes, you can give whatever extra
you want. Like it's like when they do a mandatory
twenty percent tip, and a lot of restaurants in South
Beach now they do this, and then they a little
thing that's additional tip, and a lot of people are like, now,
it's one thing if you want to do that, right,
but it always you have to click out of the
additional tip now, so it's like, what a thirty forty
fifty percent tip is what is acceptable? I'm actually somebody.
(25:13):
I just want them to just start to like, just
give me the bill that you want, the money that
you want to you know, stop asking me to do math. Really, Like,
I don't want to do math anymore when I'm out
at restaurants anyway. I think that we have reached a
point where people are seeing increasingly that the Democrat Party
(25:33):
cannot be trusted with power at all, and they have
gone insane. Really, I really mean this. I would not
have made this argument, certainly in the early two thousands
the same way when there was there was broader agreement
on some things. But in the last ten years things
have really gone really gone off the rails. But yes,
(25:54):
to impeach judges. To do this, I think would be
a great goal to have, But it's very complicated because
there are these people who would rather pretend that they
care about about it used to be a long time ago, right.
The snide comment was, oh, you just want to save
the whales, right? You know, I actually love animals, so
(26:15):
saving the whales probably be a nice thing to do.
But the point is, or save the rainforest or save
the whatever. But you're not actually doing anything to do anything.
These people that are saying this, right, the Greta what's
her name, Greta Thunberg Thunberg, who is now taken up Palestine.
Of course she it was climate change, now it's Palestine.
(26:35):
She is a perfect avatar for this malady on a
global scale. But take it all the way down to
the individual. Okay, this is unfortunately the psychological condition of
the modern democrat, leftist, however you want to describe it.
In America, communist. I love that one because it upsets them,
(26:58):
so of course I should say it. But this singular,
the singular thing that you have in common for so
many of them is this desire to tell everybody how
much they care about things that don't matter, so they
can avoid having to take accountability and responsibility for things
that do matter. And once you start to apply that
logic to all this, but it's true on the crime
(27:20):
issue as well. It's true on the crime issue. Oh,
you know, I think we should have more social justice
and I think we should have you know, thirtieth chances
for violent offenders and elesis. Well, hold on a second,
Hold on a second. You know, are you doing anything
to make your neighborhood safer? Are you? Are you advocating
for now? I'm talking about people who say that you
(27:41):
know who say, let's say, live in Malibu and they're
advocating against Trump in DC, or they're advocating against what
Trump wants to do in Chicago. You see, you know
what what? Oh you mean you're safe to begin with,
So you're safe to begin with. So you pretend that
you care so much about what's going on with other
people are making them less safe in the process. But
(28:02):
it makes you feel good, it makes them feel good.
I wish we still had the term limousine. Liberal was
such a such a nice pejorative, but limousines aren't really
a thing anymore. I was always kind of anti limousine.
I only wrote in them a couple of times in
my life, like special occasion stuff going to prom right,
people get it, we get a limo to go to
(28:22):
prompt They weren't that comfortable. It was kind of a
funny thing. It was like the height of luxury in
the eighties. You were a limo, right, it was always
a and you realize you're sitting sideways or sometimes back
to the and the seats weren't very comfortable. So they've
changed all that. But limousine liberal was a was a
great and they always had that. Did anyone ever drink
you guys know what I mean? They always had the
(28:42):
was it whiskey or I don't know whatever liquor in
those little glass decanters or whatever you call them that
were Did anyone ever drink that stuff? Every limo is
ever in. I looked at that stuff. I was like,
is that just apple juice? What is that? Of course
I would never drink, especially underage. But yeah, So this
is something that we're now seeing more and more from
(29:05):
the Democrat Party, and they keep digging deeper into all
of this, and I think that it's going to become
very apparent to people that what this, what this talkback
gets to is we just we just need to do
everything possible to keep these people out of power because
they make everything worse. They don't have good ideas and
(29:26):
they're not helpful, and when they're in charge, bad things
happen to people. Truly bad things happen to people. So
we got to work with everything that we have to
make sure that it doesn't happen. I mean, think about
how much better the country is right now than if
we had a president Kamala Harris that could have happened.
I know, we think now, oh Trump, you know, kicked
your button. He wants so much, and which is true,
(29:48):
but it was a closer thing than it should have been,
much closer thing than it should have been. All right, look,
every you know, you know what I did yesterday? I
watched the US Open and a true story in my amazing,
amazing wife, Carrie, so fantastic, great mom, great wife, she
just decided to surprise me, surprised my brother who was
watching the US Open with me, with wings. She made
(30:13):
homemade wings. They were like Korean sticky barbecue wings with
the chicken wings that I just got in my box
from Good Ranchers and these wings were absolutely delicious. By
the way, men, they were good good ranchers. Their proteins
are from American ranchers and farmers. No antibiotics, no hormones,
no seed oil. It's kind of food you want to
feed your family. It's what I just ate yesterday, my
brother and I and carry got it in on to you.
(30:34):
We polished off those wings. But I've also got fantastic
bone in New York strips. My box just came on Friday.
My Good Rancher's Box just arrived. I look forward to

my freezer that I clear out. I mean, it's a

but my Good Rancher shelf is where I keep my proteins.
(30:56):

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Two guys walk up to a mic Hey Anything goes
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
We'll remind you all to drink some Krocket coffee. My friends.
We've got my over Mountain Club mug in my hand
right here. Crocketcoffee dot com and you could subscribe. We
got mushroom coffee that if you never tried, it's really cool.
But also light roast, medium roast, hole being, ground being,
k cuffs, all that stuff. We're actually working on a
new exciting product now too, because we're trying to do
more and more stuff and part of our mission is
(32:21):
to be sponsors on various conservative shows and podcasts out there,
which we're already doing and we're gonna be doing more
and more of that so that we can help the
conservative economy flourish in media. Because telling me those Madison
Avenue ad buyers and they're still we're still blocked out
on that stuff. But whatever, you know, we keep fighting
(32:43):
through things. It's how we are. It's always been. It's
been good, I think as a conservative to be in
the opposition, to be the counter the counter regime, the
counter revolution since I was I don't know, fourteen or
fifteen years old, so pretty used to it at this point.
But yes, I think something interesting was said by a
lot of things actually interesting said by Trump at the
(33:05):
Museum of the Bible speech. But he spoke about this
has cut thirty one team. He spoke about something that
we should speak about more frequently. And I think in
particular this week, people are going to want to talk
about it.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Play thirty one and I created the first ever Department
of Justice task Force to eradicate anti Christian bias. And
to those people that are a little bit naive or
not well read, there is a tremendous anti Christian bias.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
We don't hear about it. We don't think about it.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
You hear about anti Semitic, but you don't hear about
anti Christian. They have a strong anti Christian bias.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But we're ending that rapidly. I will tell you it's
a whole We're in a much.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Different world today than we were one year ago.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Now, this has been real in the universities and for
a long time. I think William F. Buckley wrote God
and Man at Yale, I don't even know how many
decades ago. The anti Christian approach of these institutions, these
universities is something. You know, the anti Semitism, which ties
(34:10):
very much into the Israel Palestine situation that you've seen
a lot of obviously since October seventh, but the anti
Christian sentiment coming from the top of the administration all
the way down, particularly these so called the lead schools.
It's been very real for a long time. But here's
(34:31):
what's so critical about what Trump is doing. He is
taking the approach that we cannot allow institutional capture to
just continue as it is, because what you have is
a situation where even when Democrats lose elections, they keep
a lot of their power because they have been intentionally
(34:56):
seeded into integrated into the the HR departments and the
university admissions committees, and you go to all these places.
It reminds me of the this is you know, I
learned about the first time I really read about Soviet
political officers was on the Hunt for Red October, which
(35:18):
is I still think the best Tom Clancy book, because
you know, I'm a big Clancy fan. Tom Clancy fan,
and it's probably why I joined the CIA. Is Tom
Clancy books pretty remarkable, And I think about that in retrospect.
Clancy and Crichton were the two authors that I read
in grade school that I really really liked, and I
was just just tearing through those books. But you remember
from the Hunt for Red October there's this little person
(35:40):
whose job and this was true in Soviet society, whether
it was in a corporation or on ship, there was
a person who was the political officer, and they were
just there to shout down wrong think and to punish
wrong think from anybody. And we've had that in the
well in the PC and DEI era of America. There
(36:03):
are people who exist in these institutions who are there
to punish wrong think and by the way, also to
attack enemies of the leftist regime, including Christians, including believing Jews,
right people that are not secular leftists of Jewish faith.
Like this has been the move, This has been what
(36:24):
they are doing. And Trump is working to set this right.
And it is the first time any Republican has really
made this part of the mission. It is absolutely essential.
I've got another, this is troubling one another story to
talk to you about, a crime story that will tie
into that murder of that young Ukrainian girl. We'll talk
(36:44):
about in a couple of minutes.
