Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerhouse hour of political insight, economic analysis, and cultural commentary, centered around the ongoing momentum of President Donald Trump’s administration. This episode, part of what the hosts call the “Summer of Trump,” highlights a series of major victories for the current president, both in the courts and in public opinion. The hour opens with a strong focus on the booming U.S. economy, with the S&P 500 reaching record highs. Clay and Buck emphasize how Trump’s economic policies, including tariffs and tax reforms, have defied critics and bolstered Americans’ 401(k)s, retirement accounts, and college savings. The hosts credit the administration’s strategic moves for this financial upswing. A major theme of this hour is the Supreme Court’s landmark rulings, which the hosts describe as monumental wins for President Trump. These decisions affirm the constitutional powers of the presidency, limit the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions, and pave the way for Trump’s policy agenda—including immigration reform, ending sanctuary city funding, and halting taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries. The show also dives into shifting voter demographics, citing Pew Research data that shows President Trump making historic gains among Hispanic and Black voters. Trump nearly flipped the Hispanic vote nationwide and secured a record percentage of support from Black men for a Republican candidate in the post-civil rights era. These trends, the hosts argue, signal a political realignment that could reshape future elections. Clay and Buck also analyze the impact of the “Big Beautiful Bill”, a sweeping legislative package that promises long-term tax savings and policy codification. They discuss the role of the Senate parliamentarian in shaping the bill and express frustration over traditional procedural hurdles that could limit its scope. In a compelling segment, the hosts reflect on the one-year anniversary of Joe Biden’s debate performance, which they argue marked the beginning of his political decline. They contrast this with Trump’s confident and commanding presence in a recent press conference, where he reaffirmed his leadership and addressed key issues like Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The hour features commentary from May Mailman, Deputy Assistant to the President, who breaks down the legal significance of the Supreme Court’s decisions and the administration’s stance on religious liberty in schools. The discussion includes a ruling allowing parents to opt out of LGBTQ+ curriculum on religious grounds, which the hosts hail as a victory for parental rights and religious freedom. Listeners also hear from President Trump himself, who outlines his administration’s next steps following the Supreme Court’s rulings. He discusses the potential to revisit policies like ending birthright citizenship and reinforces his commitment to national security, including a firm stance on Iran’s nuclear program.

Show YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Welcome in out number two Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Summer of
Trump underway and it is a doozy for people who
hate Trump as Trump is stacking wins one after the other.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Let's start here.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I hope you listened to us and did not panic
in April when everyone was screaming for you to sell
your stocks that the tariffs were going to destroy the world.
Five hundred as I speak to you right now, is
at an all time high. If you simply did not
look at the prices of your stocks this year. Congratulations,
(01:10):
you are doing quite well. You have more money in
your four to oh one K, more money in your
retirement accounts, more money in your college tuition accounts that
you're trying to save up for your kids, or just
more money in your savings in general, if you are
invested in the stock market, as most of you are,
(01:31):
from a variety of different perspectives.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
So that is huge.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Supreme Court delivering a series of monumental wins for President Trump.
It ran on its knees begging for help, expectations that
the Abraham Accords are going to be expanded, all of
this coming together in the last few weeks, the big
beautiful Bill getting close to being complete, which will lock
(01:59):
into savings for the next decade, plus all of that
moving in a direction that is all very very positive.
And it is today Buck the one year anniversary of
Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance that unfortunately began the rapid
descent of Buck Island, much like Atlantis, into the land
(02:24):
beneath the sea.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
We were very close, though, everyone, We were very close.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Biden held out for weeks and weeks, and as we know,
he almost pulled it off. But there was that dastardly
Pelosi and Obama and others who shoved him off the
island at the last minute.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Also Pew Research data that I think should be getting
more attention than it is. Trump won a majority of
Hispanic men. He nearly flipped Hispanic voters nationwide, losing to
Kamala Harris just fifty one to forty eight. Putting that
in content twenty sixteen, Trump lost Hispanic voters by thirty
(03:04):
six points. Twenty twenty four, Trump lost Hispanic voters by
just three He nearly flipped Hispanic women nationwide. I know
that a lot of you are from South Florida. The
Hispanic vote is very different in South Florida as opposed
to Stay California. But it is super interesting that the
(03:24):
movement occurred to go from Democrat plus thirty six under
Hillary Clinton to Democrat plus three is one of the
most transformative moves that we have seen in a short
period of time ever. Also, black men, twenty one percent
of them voted for Donald Trump, the largest percentage of
(03:47):
black men I think ever to vote for a Republican
candidate in a post Civil rights era.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, I was gonna say since probably Eisenhower Clay sort
of like Buck Island in the close but no cigar category.
On April twelfth of this year, or of twenty twenty four,
you said that twenty five percent of black men would
vote for Trump, a little ahead of your skis, buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Is nice. It was a nice call. You were directionally correct.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But if there was a stake on that one, that
state goes to me, because technically twenty one is not
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You were close, though, I appreciate it. That was a
super bold prediction by me to go twenty five. We
almost got there seventy five twenty one. I mean, we're
basically to the point.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Think about this where if there are four Black guys
who voted in an election, one of them voted Trump,
and you might say, well, that's still seventy five percent
voted against him. Yes, I get it, But identity politics,
the coalition that Democrats built, it doesn't work. The math
doesn't add up for them to win if twenty percent
(04:51):
of Black voters are voting Republican and we're getting very
close to their in general, So the Hispanic vote, Asian
vote skyrocketed for Donald Trump as well. This was a
profound transformational win. And the other thing they found in
the Pew Research poll was if more voters had come out,
(05:14):
Trump's margin of victory would have increased even more. In
other words, usually Democrats say, well, we just didn't get
our voters out. Actually, if the if the audience had grown,
Trump's margin was going to grow based on who the
voters who did not show up were.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Do you want more? Do you want more?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Clay predictions because I was hearing so many that I
actually kept track of them.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Do you want more? Or you had enough for today? No?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
That was close.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I mean yeah, no that was I said, that was
a close. But no, Cigar, I'm just what you want
to save these? You want to hold them. Six April sixteenth,
Clay said that Georgia Trump would win Georgia by eight points.
I said, Clay, you're insane. Trump won Georgia by two points.
So I will say I will say Georgia has me nervous.
(06:01):
Georgia was the one state where Kamala actually did I
think better than Biden's numbers.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I believe of the.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Twenty twenty four toss up states, team look this up.
This is a major research project. I think Georgia is
the only state where Kamala outperformed Biden in the swing
state universe. In other words, like Arizona didn't happen, Nevada,
it didn't happen. I believe she got more votes Georgia
twenty twenty four, Kamala did than Biden did in twenty
(06:34):
twenty and that means Georgia is really going to be
a battleground. I thought that Trump would win Georgia by
a margin similar to what Brian Kemp and the other
top of the ticket Democrat Republicans did in twenty twenty two,
and that ended up a lot closer than I thought
it was going to be. But that is something a
(06:57):
little bit alarming if you want to look forward to
twenty twenty eight or just going to be a tough place.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
For it still a true battleground state, true battleground state
two percentage points for Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
For give or take. And that was a tough one.
So yep, Oh, can.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I just say one thing about what's happy? Why I'm
going at such a good mood today, other than the
S and P being so high, all time high. What
the Supreme Court did today? And I know you want
to dive into this a little bit more, and Trump
spoke about this, What the Supreme Court did today is
no less than affirming that Donald Trump is actually the president. Yes,
he is the president, he has the powers of the presidency,
(07:32):
that the Constitution applies to him as the commander in chief,
and that random lower court judges don't get to take
the presidency away from him, which is what they've been
trying to do.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And it's also important to note put a pin in this.
At some point in time, there is going to be
a Democrat president and there is going to be a
Republican appointed judge who rules against that Democrat president. This
pressident will apply there too, so you can be happy
right now. But the thing about Supreme Court judgments is
(08:06):
they apply for everybody. So the powers of the presidency
will someday be held by a Democrat. Just remember that
in the back of your mind. When there is a
judge in Texas or there is a judge in Alabama
that does a ruling you like, tries to apply at
nationwide and it's struck down under this president, it's going
to apply to everybody. Here's Trump, by the way, listening.
The policies that were blocked on nationwide injunctions but can
(08:30):
now proceed thanks to this six' to Three Supreme court
Decision cut twenty.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Eight some of the cases we're talking about would be
ending birthright, citizenship which now comes to the, fore that
was meant for the babies of. Slaves it wasn't meant
for people trying to scam the system and come into
the country on a. Vacation this, was in, fact it
was the same, date the exact same, date the end
of The Civil. War it was meant for the babies of,
(08:56):
slaves and is so clean and so. Obvious but this
lets us go there and finally win that case because
hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country
under birthright, citizenship and it wasn't meant for that, reason
was meant for the babies of. Slaves so thanks to this,
decision we can now properly file to proceed with these
(09:17):
numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on
a nationwide, basis including birthright, citizenship ending sanctuary city, funding
suspending refugee, resettlement freezing unnecessary, funding stopping federal taxpayers from
paying for transgender, surgeries and numerous other priorities of The american.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
People so all of these things again struck down The
Supreme court does not.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Have The Supreme court is.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Saying that individual judges do not have the power to
shut down many of the other aspects of the presidential.
Power let me play a couple of. Days this is
actually somewhat, FUNNY a couple of bites THAT i think
you guys will. Enjoy trump just had a, big long
press conference that ran a little bit over an. HOUR
a random cameraman's gonna get fired for this, buck but
(10:07):

been speaking to the press. There we played some of
those clips for you so you know exactly what's going
(15:24):
on as we know here as we are live and
taking in all the information as it. Comes but one
thing to keep in mind before we speak to a
rep from The White. House The Big Beautiful. Bill Tu
clay AND i Asked trump in The oval a couple
of weeks. Ago we, said Mister, president is it really

President SO i think we got to take him at his.
Word and here he is telling everybody that this is
so important for The Trump. Agenda play twenty.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
One we're here this after to share the stories of
an incredible group of patriots from across the nation whose
future we are defending with the One Big Beautiful. Bill
this is the ultimate codification of our agenda to very
simply a phrase that's been used pretty well by me
over the last ten, years but maybe even before, that
(16:20):
Make america great. Again very, simple Make america great. Again
When Joe biden used to get up and, said we.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Will stop this Horrible.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Mega we're gonna Stop mega.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Who we're gonna fight.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
IT i, Said, joe listen. Up it's called Make america great.
Again it's. Okay remember that he got up so. Angry
he's so, angry he, said Make america great.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Again AND i, think you, know really that kind of
characterizes go back and.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
WATCH i encourage people instead of watching the way media
and that Included buck and.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Me you may not agree with everything we.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Say when you get an opportunity to watch press conference,
yourself go watch, it you, know this weekend at some.
Point pop it up on, YouTube pop it up up
and just watch it. YOURSELF i think the overwhelming thing
that you will take away is how, relaxed, comfortable and
Confident trump looks In trump two point. Zero that's really
(17:18):
what just characterizes all of, this if you had to
sum it, up this is a guy who knows how
to do the job and feels confident in his ability
to do the.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Job and he's.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Getting great results so far, already which is fantastic to.
See AND i think as we were talking in the last,
hour a couple of our friends in the business World
Don junior And Omid malik and sure enough the big beautiful.
BILL i think it's going to add a bit of
rocket fuel on top of an already really excellent. ECONOMY
(17:48):
i think it's going to help give quite a. Boost
and then when rates start to come, down which might
have to wait Until powell is replaced In, january but
when rates start to come down on top of, that
things can really get moving in a big. Way SO
i think there's a lot of reason for optimism on.
That and we'll talk to The White house here shortly
about what's in the. Bill, also This Supreme court rulings
(18:10):
today which were big wins For trump and for the
rule of. Law there's something Under american soil valued in the.
Trillions one hundred and sixty, trillion could be. Precise it's
been there. Forever this, endowment so to, speak is so
large it could pay off our national debt four times. Over,
now thanks to My Supreme court, decision The trump administration
could soon release that endowment to the. Public Jim, rickards
(18:33):
former advisor to The White house and The Federal, reserve,
says if you're over, fifty this could be your best
chance to build lasting wealth from a once in a century,
event the big. Statement hear more of What jim has to,
say go online to birthright twenty twenty five dot. Com
if he's, right it could Make President trump the most
popular president in history and help millions of investors retire.
(18:55):
Wealthy there are some big ideas, here And Jim, rickards
LIKE i, said The White house and The, fed wants
to tell you about it himself for. Free go to
birthright twenty twenty five dot com to get the details
free of. Charge birthright twenty twenty five dot com paid
for By Paradigm.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Press we are joined now By May, Mehlman Deputy assistant
to The, President Senior Policy.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Strategists that's a heck of a.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Title but what we want to have you on is
to talk about the evisceration of left wing arguments that
came out from The Supreme court, today AND i.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Want to start with.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
THIS i kind of broke down the legal background here
of why these cases were, important but a lot of
people out there are going to focus sometimes on the
inner relationships between the. Justices Amy Cony, Barrett you've read
a lot Of Supreme court opinions in law. SCHOOL i
did Two Amy Cony barrett absolutely just Destroying Katanji Brown
(20:01):
jackson's descent in the district court judge ruling case really
kind of made me, go, wow you don't see this
go this hard a? Lot did it stand out to
you two as this looked Like Amy Cony barrett's just
kind of fed up With Katanji Brown jackson as a
judge more so than and even in just this.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Case, yes this was.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
INCREDIBLE i think the legal term is a bench, slap
but that is exactly what. Happened, so you, know the
three liberal justices did dissent and said that they think
that universal slash nationwide injunctions are perfectly, legal but two
of the justices so so do My Orn kagan basically
(20:49):
gave legal reasons saying here's WHY i think judges have
this legal. Authority and Then Justice jackson wrote a dissent
that was completely unhinged from any law and just said
that she thinks that it's a good thing that judges
basically Follow trump around and tell him what he's doing is,
wrong that that's like a net good for. Society And
(21:11):
Amy Cony, barrett who is as you, know like if
the conservatives in the world have a complaint with. Her
it's that she's not, bold she's not. Brave she kind
of goes with the flow a little too bit too.
Much that was not the case. Today she Wrecked Justice
jackson and, said, basically you are acting on. Constitutionally what
(21:32):
you want has no basis in the. Constitution you want
a roving like king judge to decide whatever you think
is the. Law and that's. Crazy and so it. Was
it was beautiful to.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
See now also go, Ahead, Cley, OH i Thought cliver
was jumping it may there are some other decisions that
have that that came down as. Well what are your
takes from The White house perspective, on for, example parents
being alive to opt out for religious objection reasons from
reading material that has A lgbtqia plus plus plus plus.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Agenda, yeah so this was a huge.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
One, also it's not. ENOUGH i will say schools should
not have this crap in them to begin, with the
fact that it exists means we have a lot of
work to. Do but at the bare, minimum if a
parent says that they have a religious objection to schools
indoctrinating their, kids then schools have to accept. That and
(22:36):
the fact that This maryland school. Didn't i'm frankly shocked it,
wasn't AND i know because it is that egregious of
a violation of religious liberty and. Justice, alito you, know
he's a funny. GUY i guess he put he copied
and pasted some of the pages from this. Book and
this is not about celebrating that different people have different.
(22:59):
Viewpoints this was indoctrinating kids to say that trans identification
is wonderful and, beautiful and that entire nations they praised
us as princes and, princesses entire nations would celebrate gay,
marriage but obviously flies in the direct face of all major.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Religions this is.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
An incredible series of. Wins President trump has been stacking
a lot of series of. Wins are you impressed that
the court has been willing to apply the law as
consistently as they have and actually give him all these
wins and not get? Involved because what's so important about?
This AND i said it off the top one, day
(23:43):
the president of presidential power is going to apply to
A democrat president in a significant. Way the same thing
is going to apply here when it comes to nationwide.
Injunctions there will be A democrat president who also benefits
from this. President these are the right. Decisions BUT i
guess Maybe i've just gotten so used to The court
playing politics and trying to be cutesie THAT i didn't
(24:06):
think they were actually going to be as willing to
uphold the law and issue these clear precedents as they have.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Been does it surprise you or you also skeptical in some?
WAY i am.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Surprised nationwide injunctions is something that the justices have all
hinted that that they need to address for such a long.
Time it's obviously such a big problem if you ask
district court, judges circuit court, Judges there's been books written
on at law review. Articles it's been such a big.
Problem and yet there's never been. This they haven't stepped
(24:42):
up and stopped. It there are a lot of illegal
things that happen all the time that The Supreme court
has just kind of, said, whatever we're not going to
deal with. It AND i think conservative maybe it was During,
obamacare you, know maybe, thereafter where just if the the
decision was, hard if it was going to be, hard
(25:03):
then you kind of figured they weren't going to do.
It BUT i think Actually Justice, roberts even though that's
what he cares about the, most is like preserving The court's,
legacy preserving his, legacy and not not beclowning the. Court
AND i think he's concerned that too many conservative rulings
would beclown. IT i think there is you, know when
(25:28):
when a good ruling comes, out my hope would be
that all those times we've been, disappointed all those, times
we hope that they'd do something that they, wouldn't that
it would lend to credibility. Here AND i think that's
What Justice Chief Justice roberts would hope To and of
course that's up the. Case Justice roberts might as well
go for it every single freaking, time because the left
(25:48):
is not going to be more appreciative now than. Otherwise
but you, know in his, MIND i think that's what
he hopes is like that people are going to respect
this because of all the times that they've held back
in the.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Past speaking of May melman from The White house and
tell us about where the big beautiful bill. Stands right,
Now i'm hearing some complaints from a number of different
quarters about The Senate parliamentarian getting to weigh in. Here
and this is something to do with, tradition not actually
(26:19):
something that is a has the force of law or the,
constitution and things are being stripped out by The senate.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Parliamentarian what the heck is going on with?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
That specifically SOME Nfa National Firearms act provisions that would
allow people to buy suppressors like myself who like to
go shooting and not blow out their ear.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Drums what's going on?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Here May, yeah this.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Is the swampiest of the swamp thing to, understand and
it's very, frustrating but it's going to come down to
a pretty big political. Question so reconciliation is a process
that deals with mandatory. Spending so it's not it doesn't Create,
hey here's fifty billion dollars for, this here's fifty billion
(27:03):
dollars for, that but rather various. Programs what are different
levers that you can. Change we're not messing with, this
but something like it would be the retirement. Age if
you change, that you're not actually creating a new. Program
you're basically amending an existing program for budgetary. Reasons so
you can only do those sorts of. Things and yet
(27:23):
that's a pretty big leash because basically there's a lot
of levers that you can touch for budgetary. Reasons so
we had a few things that we really cared. About
that if you're going to Spend medicaid, money that you're
not going to spend it on transgender surgeries for. Minors
that if you're that there's a fund for companies to
help make energy more litigation. Proof basically a lot of different,
(27:47):
fixes and The Senate parliamentarian basically said all of those
things are too much in policy and not much in
affecting the levers of. Funding, now The senate parliamtarian who
elected this, person who is this, person who cares about this,
person and nobody if it's not a Real this is,
purely as you, said tradition to take that person's ruling
(28:08):
and treat it as the word Of. God and Yet
Senate republicans love doing. That oh, man they love traditions so.
Much SO i think the real question is do they uphold.
Tradition do they say The Senate parliamentarian's ruling saying these
things are two policy, wise like you, said on everything
from The Second amendment to transcender surgeries all the way
(28:28):
down to energy policies all the way, down or do you,
say you know, what NO i know how to, READ
i know what is budgetary versus, policy and we The,
senate we're going to make our own independent. Decisions so
that's Why i'm, all at the end of the, day
does well down to a policy.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Choice May, Melman Deputy assistant to The president's senior policy. Strategist,
okay big decision as it came to federal district court
judges and whether they can enjoin The president from being
able to.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Act that's a huge.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Win it also implicates in some way the decision about birthright,
citizenship which at some point will likely reach The Supreme. Court,
NOW i Know i'm asking you to read tea leaves
here because it is not directly, addressable BUT i said
on the show a little bit earlier that it made
me think The Supreme court may be more open to
(29:20):
The president's interpretation of the birthright citizenship amendment analysis THAN i.
Thought is that a crazy? Take or would you sign
on potentially with that, take with the understanding that we're
trying to predict something that hasn't yet.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Happened SO i.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Don't think it's a crazy. TAKE i, think on one,
hand we knew that The Supreme court was going to
be skittish to address this issue because it is such
a big, issue and so that made it a really
good vehicle to focus on nationwide. Injunctions, right this is
something that The Supreme court is going to move heaven
and earth to just focus on that procedural vehicle and
not just, say, oh you know, what let's just dive
(29:57):
into the substance and said and forget about the. Process
so this is something that they would love to avoid
thinking about for a little. Bit. Now it's difficult because
even though firsthright citizenship is terrible, policy and The United
states is unique in the globe in offering. It other
(30:18):
countries don't, say, oh you were here to, visit you,
know A Disney world equivalent like now you're child's. Citizen
that's not a thing anywhere. Else but at the end
of the, day there are some bad court rulings in
the past that have interpreted the Fourteenth amendment to basically give. That,
now past court rulings that are bad are overturned when
they need to. Be but it's a big. Decision it's
(30:40):
a weighty. Decision SO i think you're. Right, actually maybe
if they knew for sure they hated, this they would
have just said, so but they seem to want to avoid,
it and that AVOIDANCE i think either indicates willingness or
it indicates true, openness and they're just trying to bide
their time to make such a big.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Rule may we appreciate? IT i got a hot take.
Here i'm actually pretty pleased with The Supreme. COURT i
don't know that that ever gets said very. OFTEN i
bet a lot of people in The trump team are as.
Well have a good, weekend Good july. Fourth we appreciate the.
Speaker 6 (31:12):

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Clay not only, that we appreciate, you crockheacoffee dot.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
COM i wanted to play this, Too Buck trump said
in his press, conference in the event That iran is
still trying to enrich, uranium he'll just bomb him. Again
and he's also put up a long post to direct
it at The, ayatola who has tried to claim victory
in the war which he was. Obliterated but listen to
(34:07):
cut thirty. Four trump says he would Bomber ran again if.
Necessary if the intelligence.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Reports conclude That iran can Enrich uranian two level that,
concerns would you consider bombing the contrure? Again without?
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Question, absolutely it has to be. Unbelievable but you know
our incredible, flyers AND i.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
Call him the.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Shots these guys are. Unbelievable think from fifty two thousand
feet they hit the equivalent.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Of a refrigerator.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Door they actually hit it right in the, center so
it's much smaller than, that and just bomb after, bomb
going deeper, deeper blowing.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
Up, incredible incredible.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
THING i don't know if you. Heard the general is
very impressive raising. Game you, know he's the one that
beat isis for, me and he did it in a
matter of.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Weeks so, LOOK i, MEAN i do think that the
ultimate respond, to, hey the strikes weren't as effective as
you wanted them to, be Is, okay we'll strike. Again
and So trump just blatantly saying that also is super.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
IMPACTFUL i think, Yes and that also goes into the
negotiations that could happen going forward With, iran where now
they know that When trump, says, guys we'll just do,
this you can start building it, again and we'll just
is sob we're going to vomb it. Again so don't do.
It let's get something else going. Here you're not going
to be allowed to build nuclear. WEAPONS D. D thomas
(35:34):
listening ON Wr radio From New. York play, it.
Speaker 7 (35:40):
Play buck love you, guys keep doing exactly what you're,
doing because you're doing the right. Thing today was a great.
Day today was a great day for everybody In. America
and they don't even know, it they don't even understand.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
It and.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Listen today was also the anniversary of The Joe biden
And Donald trump, debate which is.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Awesome what a great day By you're welcome and thank,
you and you're. Correct it is a great day For.
America today just a good. Day you, Know i'm not
saying tomorrow's not going to have its, challenges but a
lot of good things happening, today a lot of reason for,
optimism a lot of reason feel. Good we'll talk more about,
it we'll talk more about the challenges of course ahead as.
Well But, CLAY i think it's it's fantastic that we
(36:27):
can take a moment here to Say trump is racking
up wins and we are not in fact tired of,
winning and that year ago, debate you have to say
the most successful presidential debate in the history of presidential.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
DEBATES i think it goes both.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
DIRECTIONS i Think Joe biden ended his, career making it
the least successful and the most. Successful we've never seen
a debate that consequential in the history of anybody's life
that's listening right. Now it Ended Joe biden's political, career
AND i think, that in conjunction with The Butler pa
assassination attempt and the way he, responded Put trump back
in The White. House we'll break it down for you
(37:01):
next

Speaker 3 (00:21):

great content while you're there. The Clay Travison Buck Sexton
Show YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Welcome in out number two Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Summer of
Trump underway and it is a doozy for people who
hate Trump as Trump is stacking wins one after the other.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Let's start here.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I hope you listened to us and did not panic
in April when everyone was screaming for you to sell
your stocks that the tariffs were going to destroy the world.
Five hundred as I speak to you right now, is
at an all time high. If you simply did not
look at the prices of your stocks this year. Congratulations,
(01:10):
you are doing quite well. You have more money in
your four to oh one K, more money in your
retirement accounts, more money in your college tuition accounts that
you're trying to save up for your kids, or just
more money in your savings in general, if you are
invested in the stock market, as most of you are,
(01:31):
from a variety of different perspectives.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
So that is huge.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Supreme Court delivering a series of monumental wins for President Trump.
It ran on its knees begging for help, expectations that
the Abraham Accords are going to be expanded, all of
this coming together in the last few weeks, the big
beautiful Bill getting close to being complete, which will lock
(01:59):
into savings for the next decade, plus all of that
moving in a direction that is all very very positive.
And it is today Buck the one year anniversary of
Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance that unfortunately began the rapid
descent of Buck Island, much like Atlantis, into the land
(02:24):
beneath the sea.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
We were very close, though, everyone, We were very close.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Biden held out for weeks and weeks, and as we know,
he almost pulled it off. But there was that dastardly
Pelosi and Obama and others who shoved him off the
island at the last minute.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Also Pew Research data that I think should be getting
more attention than it is. Trump won a majority of
Hispanic men. He nearly flipped Hispanic voters nationwide, losing to
Kamala Harris just fifty one to forty eight. Putting that
in content twenty sixteen, Trump lost Hispanic voters by thirty
(03:04):
six points. Twenty twenty four, Trump lost Hispanic voters by
just three He nearly flipped Hispanic women nationwide. I know
that a lot of you are from South Florida. The
Hispanic vote is very different in South Florida as opposed
to Stay California. But it is super interesting that the
(03:24):
movement occurred to go from Democrat plus thirty six under
Hillary Clinton to Democrat plus three is one of the
most transformative moves that we have seen in a short
period of time ever. Also, black men, twenty one percent
of them voted for Donald Trump, the largest percentage of
(03:47):
black men I think ever to vote for a Republican
candidate in a post Civil rights era.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, I was gonna say since probably Eisenhower Clay sort
of like Buck Island in the close but no cigar category.
On April twelfth of this year, or of twenty twenty four,
you said that twenty five percent of black men would
vote for Trump, a little ahead of your skis, buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Is nice. It was a nice call. You were directionally correct.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But if there was a stake on that one, that
state goes to me, because technically twenty one is not
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You were close, though, I appreciate it. That was a
super bold prediction by me to go twenty five. We
almost got there seventy five twenty one. I mean, we're
basically to the point.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Think about this where if there are four Black guys
who voted in an election, one of them voted Trump,
and you might say, well, that's still seventy five percent
voted against him. Yes, I get it, But identity politics,
the coalition that Democrats built, it doesn't work. The math
doesn't add up for them to win if twenty percent
(04:51):
of Black voters are voting Republican and we're getting very
close to their in general, So the Hispanic vote, Asian
vote skyrocketed for Donald Trump as well. This was a
profound transformational win. And the other thing they found in
the Pew Research poll was if more voters had come out,
(05:14):
Trump's margin of victory would have increased even more. In
other words, usually Democrats say, well, we just didn't get
our voters out. Actually, if the if the audience had grown,
Trump's margin was going to grow based on who the
voters who did not show up were.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Do you want more? Do you want more?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Clay predictions because I was hearing so many that I
actually kept track of them.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Do you want more? Or you had enough for today? No?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
That was close.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I mean yeah, no that was I said, that was
a close. But no, Cigar, I'm just what you want
to save these? You want to hold them. Six April sixteenth,
Clay said that Georgia Trump would win Georgia by eight points.
I said, Clay, you're insane. Trump won Georgia by two points.
So I will say I will say Georgia has me nervous.
(06:01):
Georgia was the one state where Kamala actually did I
think better than Biden's numbers.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I believe of the.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Twenty twenty four toss up states, team look this up.
This is a major research project. I think Georgia is
the only state where Kamala outperformed Biden in the swing
state universe. In other words, like Arizona didn't happen, Nevada,
it didn't happen. I believe she got more votes Georgia
twenty twenty four, Kamala did than Biden did in twenty
(06:34):
twenty and that means Georgia is really going to be
a battleground. I thought that Trump would win Georgia by
a margin similar to what Brian Kemp and the other
top of the ticket Democrat Republicans did in twenty twenty two,
and that ended up a lot closer than I thought
it was going to be. But that is something a
(06:57):
little bit alarming if you want to look forward to
twenty twenty eight or just going to be a tough place.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
For it still a true battleground state, true battleground state
two percentage points for Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
For give or take. And that was a tough one.
So yep, Oh, can.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I just say one thing about what's happy? Why I'm
going at such a good mood today, other than the
S and P being so high, all time high. What
the Supreme Court did today? And I know you want
to dive into this a little bit more, and Trump
spoke about this, What the Supreme Court did today is
no less than affirming that Donald Trump is actually the president. Yes,
he is the president, he has the powers of the presidency,
(07:32):
that the Constitution applies to him as the commander in chief,
and that random lower court judges don't get to take
the presidency away from him, which is what they've been
trying to do.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And it's also important to note put a pin in this.
At some point in time, there is going to be
a Democrat president and there is going to be a
Republican appointed judge who rules against that Democrat president. This
pressident will apply there too, so you can be happy
right now. But the thing about Supreme Court judgments is
(08:06):
they apply for everybody. So the powers of the presidency
will someday be held by a Democrat. Just remember that
in the back of your mind. When there is a
judge in Texas or there is a judge in Alabama
that does a ruling you like, tries to apply at
nationwide and it's struck down under this president, it's going
to apply to everybody. Here's Trump, by the way, listening.
The policies that were blocked on nationwide injunctions but can
(08:30):
now proceed thanks to this six' to Three Supreme court
Decision cut twenty.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Eight some of the cases we're talking about would be
ending birthright, citizenship which now comes to the, fore that
was meant for the babies of. Slaves it wasn't meant
for people trying to scam the system and come into
the country on a. Vacation this, was in, fact it
was the same, date the exact same, date the end
of The Civil. War it was meant for the babies of,
(08:56):
slaves and is so clean and so. Obvious but this
lets us go there and finally win that case because
hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country
under birthright, citizenship and it wasn't meant for that, reason
was meant for the babies of. Slaves so thanks to this,
decision we can now properly file to proceed with these
(09:17):
numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on
a nationwide, basis including birthright, citizenship ending sanctuary city, funding
suspending refugee, resettlement freezing unnecessary, funding stopping federal taxpayers from
paying for transgender, surgeries and numerous other priorities of The american.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
People so all of these things again struck down The
Supreme court does not.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Have The Supreme court is.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Saying that individual judges do not have the power to
shut down many of the other aspects of the presidential.
Power let me play a couple of. Days this is
actually somewhat, FUNNY a couple of bites THAT i think
you guys will. Enjoy trump just had a, big long
press conference that ran a little bit over an. HOUR
a random cameraman's gonna get fired for this, buck but
(10:07):
it's very. Funny he yells Out trump twenty twenty. Eight
maybe he was a. Replace maybe he was a. Replacement
listen to cut. THIRTY i think you'll be able to hear.
It this is a camera guy who is excited to
be in the event and maybe got carried away a.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Bit cut Thirty.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Trump eagles in the border.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Are zero count.
Speaker 7 (10:28):

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Amazing that guy's probably gonna get. Fired sounds like he's
a Maybe indian If i'm judging. Accents maybe yelling Out
trump twenty twenty. Eight maybe he's usually not a political.
Guy didn't understand the, camera, Guys, now that's supposed to
be a heard but that was pretty. Funny and here
Is trump, asking, hey should we keep the press conference?
(11:05):
Going listen to the. Media they claim to hate, him but,
boy oh, boy do they love. Him this is cut thirty.
Speaker 2 (11:11):

keep this?
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Going?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Family if this is.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
The opposite Of. Biden biden would take a half a
question and he'd leave without answering.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It can you tell me when it gets?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Boring that's like do you remember in elementary?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
School every now and then your good, class the teacher

let you play? Kickball and everybody in the whole class
would just scream. Yes how about no? Homework how about
we have ice?

Speaker 2 (15:01):

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Do is a great thing to take off your. Plate
go to trust And will dot. Com we're going to
talk to our Friend May mailman from The White house
here in just a few. Minutes you, Know trump has
been speaking to the press. There we played some of
those clips for you so you know exactly what's going
(15:24):
on as we know here as we are live and
taking in all the information as it. Comes but one
thing to keep in mind before we speak to a
rep from The White. House The Big Beautiful. Bill Tu
clay AND i Asked trump in The oval a couple
of weeks. Ago we, said Mister, president is it really
going to be called The Big Beautiful?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Bill is?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
That and you know what he, Goes, yes they're going
to call it The Big Beautiful. Bill that is the actual.
Name that's what he told us at least that he's the.
President SO i think we got to take him at his.
Word and here he is telling everybody that this is
so important for The Trump. Agenda play twenty.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
One we're here this after to share the stories of
an incredible group of patriots from across the nation whose
future we are defending with the One Big Beautiful. Bill
this is the ultimate codification of our agenda to very
simply a phrase that's been used pretty well by me
over the last ten, years but maybe even before, that
(16:20):
Make america great. Again very, simple Make america great. Again
When Joe biden used to get up and, said we.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Will stop this Horrible.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Mega we're gonna Stop mega.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Who we're gonna fight.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
IT i, Said, joe listen. Up it's called Make america great.
Again it's. Okay remember that he got up so. Angry
he's so, angry he, said Make america great.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Again AND i, think you, know really that kind of
characterizes go back and.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
WATCH i encourage people instead of watching the way media
and that Included buck and.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Me you may not agree with everything we.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Say when you get an opportunity to watch press conference,
yourself go watch, it you, know this weekend at some.
Point pop it up on, YouTube pop it up up
and just watch it. YOURSELF i think the overwhelming thing
that you will take away is how, relaxed, comfortable and
Confident trump looks In trump two point. Zero that's really
(17:18):
what just characterizes all of, this if you had to
sum it, up this is a guy who knows how
to do the job and feels confident in his ability
to do the.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Job and he's.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Getting great results so far, already which is fantastic to.
See AND i think as we were talking in the last,
hour a couple of our friends in the business World
Don junior And Omid malik and sure enough the big beautiful.
BILL i think it's going to add a bit of
rocket fuel on top of an already really excellent. ECONOMY
(17:48):
i think it's going to help give quite a. Boost
and then when rates start to come, down which might
have to wait Until powell is replaced In, january but
when rates start to come down on top of, that
things can really get moving in a big. Way SO
i think there's a lot of reason for optimism on.
That and we'll talk to The White house here shortly
about what's in the. Bill, also This Supreme court rulings
(18:10):
today which were big wins For trump and for the
rule of. Law there's something Under american soil valued in the.
Trillions one hundred and sixty, trillion could be. Precise it's
been there. Forever this, endowment so to, speak is so
large it could pay off our national debt four times. Over,
now thanks to My Supreme court, decision The trump administration
could soon release that endowment to the. Public Jim, rickards
(18:33):
former advisor to The White house and The Federal, reserve,
says if you're over, fifty this could be your best
chance to build lasting wealth from a once in a century,
event the big. Statement hear more of What jim has to,
say go online to birthright twenty twenty five dot. Com
if he's, right it could Make President trump the most
popular president in history and help millions of investors retire.
(18:55):
Wealthy there are some big ideas, here And Jim, rickards
LIKE i, said The White house and The, fed wants
to tell you about it himself for. Free go to
birthright twenty twenty five dot com to get the details
free of. Charge birthright twenty twenty five dot com paid
for By Paradigm.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Press we are joined now By May, Mehlman Deputy assistant
to The, President Senior Policy.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Strategists that's a heck of a.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Title but what we want to have you on is
to talk about the evisceration of left wing arguments that
came out from The Supreme court, today AND i.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Want to start with.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
THIS i kind of broke down the legal background here
of why these cases were, important but a lot of
people out there are going to focus sometimes on the
inner relationships between the. Justices Amy Cony, Barrett you've read
a lot Of Supreme court opinions in law. SCHOOL i
did Two Amy Cony barrett absolutely just Destroying Katanji Brown
(20:01):
jackson's descent in the district court judge ruling case really
kind of made me, go, wow you don't see this
go this hard a? Lot did it stand out to
you two as this looked Like Amy Cony barrett's just
kind of fed up With Katanji Brown jackson as a
judge more so than and even in just this.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Case, yes this was.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
INCREDIBLE i think the legal term is a bench, slap
but that is exactly what. Happened, so you, know the
three liberal justices did dissent and said that they think
that universal slash nationwide injunctions are perfectly, legal but two
of the justices so so do My Orn kagan basically
(20:49):
gave legal reasons saying here's WHY i think judges have
this legal. Authority and Then Justice jackson wrote a dissent
that was completely unhinged from any law and just said
that she thinks that it's a good thing that judges
basically Follow trump around and tell him what he's doing is,
wrong that that's like a net good for. Society And
(21:11):
Amy Cony, barrett who is as you, know like if
the conservatives in the world have a complaint with. Her
it's that she's not, bold she's not. Brave she kind
of goes with the flow a little too bit too.
Much that was not the case. Today she Wrecked Justice
jackson and, said, basically you are acting on. Constitutionally what
(21:32):
you want has no basis in the. Constitution you want
a roving like king judge to decide whatever you think
is the. Law and that's. Crazy and so it. Was
it was beautiful to.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
See now also go, Ahead, Cley, OH i Thought cliver
was jumping it may there are some other decisions that
have that that came down as. Well what are your
takes from The White house perspective, on for, example parents
being alive to opt out for religious objection reasons from
reading material that has A lgbtqia plus plus plus plus.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Agenda, yeah so this was a huge.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
One, also it's not. ENOUGH i will say schools should
not have this crap in them to begin, with the
fact that it exists means we have a lot of
work to. Do but at the bare, minimum if a
parent says that they have a religious objection to schools
indoctrinating their, kids then schools have to accept. That and
(22:36):
the fact that This maryland school. Didn't i'm frankly shocked it,
wasn't AND i know because it is that egregious of
a violation of religious liberty and. Justice, alito you, know
he's a funny. GUY i guess he put he copied
and pasted some of the pages from this. Book and
this is not about celebrating that different people have different.
(22:59):
Viewpoints this was indoctrinating kids to say that trans identification
is wonderful and, beautiful and that entire nations they praised
us as princes and, princesses entire nations would celebrate gay,
marriage but obviously flies in the direct face of all major.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Religions this is.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
An incredible series of. Wins President trump has been stacking
a lot of series of. Wins are you impressed that
the court has been willing to apply the law as
consistently as they have and actually give him all these
wins and not get? Involved because what's so important about?
This AND i said it off the top one, day
(23:43):
the president of presidential power is going to apply to
A democrat president in a significant. Way the same thing
is going to apply here when it comes to nationwide.
Injunctions there will be A democrat president who also benefits
from this. President these are the right. Decisions BUT i
guess Maybe i've just gotten so used to The court
playing politics and trying to be cutesie THAT i didn't
(24:06):
think they were actually going to be as willing to
uphold the law and issue these clear precedents as they have.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Been does it surprise you or you also skeptical in some?
WAY i am.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Surprised nationwide injunctions is something that the justices have all
hinted that that they need to address for such a long.
Time it's obviously such a big problem if you ask
district court, judges circuit court, Judges there's been books written
on at law review. Articles it's been such a big.
Problem and yet there's never been. This they haven't stepped
(24:42):
up and stopped. It there are a lot of illegal
things that happen all the time that The Supreme court
has just kind of, said, whatever we're not going to
deal with. It AND i think conservative maybe it was During,
obamacare you, know maybe, thereafter where just if the the
decision was, hard if it was going to be, hard
(25:03):
then you kind of figured they weren't going to do.
It BUT i think Actually Justice, roberts even though that's
what he cares about the, most is like preserving The court's,
legacy preserving his, legacy and not not beclowning the. Court
AND i think he's concerned that too many conservative rulings
would beclown. IT i think there is you, know when
(25:28):
when a good ruling comes, out my hope would be
that all those times we've been, disappointed all those, times
we hope that they'd do something that they, wouldn't that
it would lend to credibility. Here AND i think that's
What Justice Chief Justice roberts would hope To and of
course that's up the. Case Justice roberts might as well
go for it every single freaking, time because the left
(25:48):
is not going to be more appreciative now than. Otherwise
but you, know in his, MIND i think that's what
he hopes is like that people are going to respect
this because of all the times that they've held back
in the.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Past speaking of May melman from The White house and
tell us about where the big beautiful bill. Stands right,
Now i'm hearing some complaints from a number of different
quarters about The Senate parliamentarian getting to weigh in. Here
and this is something to do with, tradition not actually
(26:19):
something that is a has the force of law or the,
constitution and things are being stripped out by The senate.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Parliamentarian what the heck is going on with?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
That specifically SOME Nfa National Firearms act provisions that would
allow people to buy suppressors like myself who like to
go shooting and not blow out their ear.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Drums what's going on?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Here May, yeah this.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Is the swampiest of the swamp thing to, understand and
it's very, frustrating but it's going to come down to
a pretty big political. Question so reconciliation is a process
that deals with mandatory. Spending so it's not it doesn't Create,
hey here's fifty billion dollars for, this here's fifty billion
(27:03):
dollars for, that but rather various. Programs what are different
levers that you can. Change we're not messing with, this
but something like it would be the retirement. Age if
you change, that you're not actually creating a new. Program
you're basically amending an existing program for budgetary. Reasons so
you can only do those sorts of. Things and yet
(27:23):
that's a pretty big leash because basically there's a lot
of levers that you can touch for budgetary. Reasons so
we had a few things that we really cared. About
that if you're going to Spend medicaid, money that you're
not going to spend it on transgender surgeries for. Minors
that if you're that there's a fund for companies to
help make energy more litigation. Proof basically a lot of different,
(27:47):
fixes and The Senate parliamentarian basically said all of those
things are too much in policy and not much in
affecting the levers of. Funding, now The senate parliamtarian who
elected this, person who is this, person who cares about this,
person and nobody if it's not a Real this is,
purely as you, said tradition to take that person's ruling
(28:08):
and treat it as the word Of. God and Yet
Senate republicans love doing. That oh, man they love traditions so.
Much SO i think the real question is do they uphold.
Tradition do they say The Senate parliamentarian's ruling saying these
things are two policy, wise like you, said on everything
from The Second amendment to transcender surgeries all the way
(28:28):
down to energy policies all the way, down or do you,
say you know, what NO i know how to, READ
i know what is budgetary versus, policy and we The,
senate we're going to make our own independent. Decisions so
that's Why i'm, all at the end of the, day
does well down to a policy.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Choice May, Melman Deputy assistant to The president's senior policy. Strategist,
okay big decision as it came to federal district court
judges and whether they can enjoin The president from being
able to.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Act that's a huge.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Win it also implicates in some way the decision about birthright,
citizenship which at some point will likely reach The Supreme. Court,
NOW i Know i'm asking you to read tea leaves
here because it is not directly, addressable BUT i said
on the show a little bit earlier that it made
me think The Supreme court may be more open to
(29:20):
The president's interpretation of the birthright citizenship amendment analysis THAN i.
Thought is that a crazy? Take or would you sign
on potentially with that, take with the understanding that we're
trying to predict something that hasn't yet.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Happened SO i.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Don't think it's a crazy. TAKE i, think on one,
hand we knew that The Supreme court was going to
be skittish to address this issue because it is such
a big, issue and so that made it a really
good vehicle to focus on nationwide. Injunctions, right this is
something that The Supreme court is going to move heaven
and earth to just focus on that procedural vehicle and
not just, say, oh you know, what let's just dive
(29:57):
into the substance and said and forget about the. Process
so this is something that they would love to avoid
thinking about for a little. Bit. Now it's difficult because
even though firsthright citizenship is terrible, policy and The United
states is unique in the globe in offering. It other
(30:18):
countries don't, say, oh you were here to, visit you,
know A Disney world equivalent like now you're child's. Citizen
that's not a thing anywhere. Else but at the end
of the, day there are some bad court rulings in
the past that have interpreted the Fourteenth amendment to basically give. That,
now past court rulings that are bad are overturned when
they need to. Be but it's a big. Decision it's
(30:40):
a weighty. Decision SO i think you're. Right, actually maybe
if they knew for sure they hated, this they would
have just said, so but they seem to want to avoid,
it and that AVOIDANCE i think either indicates willingness or
it indicates true, openness and they're just trying to bide
their time to make such a big.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Rule may we appreciate? IT i got a hot take.
Here i'm actually pretty pleased with The Supreme. COURT i
don't know that that ever gets said very. OFTEN i
bet a lot of people in The trump team are as.
Well have a good, weekend Good july. Fourth we appreciate the.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Time, hey thanks for having.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Me, Look tunnel of.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
The Towers foundation does a tremendous amount of good so
many different people out. There in, fact WHEN i was
just up At Traverse, city one of the women working
up front in the radio station there said That tunnel
of The towers had helped her family after they had
a major.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Issue she didn't know.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Necessarily THAT i was going to be.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
There she just shared that.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Story and What i've seen IF i go around to
so many different, events is there so many stories like

Spirit so there's that WHICH i think is very, Exciting.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Clay not only, that we appreciate, you crockheacoffee dot.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
COM i wanted to play this, Too Buck trump said
in his press, conference in the event That iran is
still trying to enrich, uranium he'll just bomb him. Again
and he's also put up a long post to direct
it at The, ayatola who has tried to claim victory
in the war which he was. Obliterated but listen to
(34:07):
cut thirty. Four trump says he would Bomber ran again if.
Necessary if the intelligence.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Reports conclude That iran can Enrich uranian two level that,
concerns would you consider bombing the contrure? Again without?
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Question, absolutely it has to be. Unbelievable but you know
our incredible, flyers AND i.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
Call him the.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Shots these guys are. Unbelievable think from fifty two thousand
feet they hit the equivalent.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Of a refrigerator.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Door they actually hit it right in the, center so
it's much smaller than, that and just bomb after, bomb
going deeper, deeper blowing.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
Up, incredible incredible.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
THING i don't know if you. Heard the general is
very impressive raising. Game you, know he's the one that
beat isis for, me and he did it in a
matter of.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Weeks so, LOOK i, MEAN i do think that the
ultimate respond, to, hey the strikes weren't as effective as
you wanted them to, be Is, okay we'll strike. Again
and So trump just blatantly saying that also is super.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
IMPACTFUL i think, Yes and that also goes into the
negotiations that could happen going forward With, iran where now
they know that When trump, says, guys we'll just do,
this you can start building it, again and we'll just
is sob we're going to vomb it. Again so don't do.
It let's get something else going. Here you're not going
to be allowed to build nuclear. WEAPONS D. D thomas
(35:34):
listening ON Wr radio From New. York play, it.
Speaker 7 (35:40):
Play buck love you, guys keep doing exactly what you're,
doing because you're doing the right. Thing today was a great.
Day today was a great day for everybody In. America
and they don't even know, it they don't even understand.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
It and.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Listen today was also the anniversary of The Joe biden
And Donald trump, debate which is.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Awesome what a great day By you're welcome and thank,
you and you're. Correct it is a great day For.
America today just a good. Day you, Know i'm not
saying tomorrow's not going to have its, challenges but a
lot of good things happening, today a lot of reason for,
optimism a lot of reason feel. Good we'll talk more about,
it we'll talk more about the challenges of course ahead as.
Well But, CLAY i think it's it's fantastic that we
(36:27):
can take a moment here to Say trump is racking
up wins and we are not in fact tired of,
winning and that year ago, debate you have to say
the most successful presidential debate in the history of presidential.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
DEBATES i think it goes both.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
DIRECTIONS i Think Joe biden ended his, career making it
the least successful and the most. Successful we've never seen
a debate that consequential in the history of anybody's life
that's listening right. Now it Ended Joe biden's political, career
AND i think, that in conjunction with The Butler pa
assassination attempt and the way he, responded Put trump back
in The White. House we'll break it down for you
