Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the shifting political landscape, cultural identity politics, and the erosion of authenticity in modern liberalism. The hosts begin by analyzing a surprising New York Times article titled “Inside the Rise of the Multiracial Right,” which highlights how Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters are increasingly aligning with Donald Trump and the Republican Party. This trend, supported by interviews from Milwaukee, San Francisco, and the Texas border, is framed as a rejection of the Democratic Party’s perceived inauthenticity and elitism.
Clay and Buck explore how the Democratic Party has lost touch with working-class and minority voters, citing examples like Pete Buttigieg’s evasive response to a question about transgender athletes in women’s sports. They argue that Democrats’ inability to answer basic questions honestly has alienated male voters and minority communities. The hosts also discuss the cultural backlash against actress Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad campaign, noting that criticism is largely coming from liberal white women—a demographic they claim is driving the Democratic Party’s decline.
The hour features a powerful quote from a Black voter in Milwaukee who describes his disillusionment with the Democratic Party’s “white savior complex” and its focus on identity politics over practical solutions. This leads to a broader discussion about the rise of authenticity in conservative politics and the rejection of progressive orthodoxy, particularly among voters who feel left behind by the cultural left.
Clay and Buck also highlight a major trade deal negotiated by President Trump with the European Union, which eliminates tariffs and opens European markets to American farmers, ranchers, and fishermen. They frame this as a significant economic victory that contradicts media narratives about Trump’s trade policies.
In a featured interview, Mark Levin joins the show to discuss his new book On Power. Levin critiques the centralization of authority by Marxists, Islamists, and the modern Democratic Party, arguing that the American Revolution was fundamentally about who holds power—not just liberty. He warns that the left’s push for conformity, censorship, and redistribution threatens the foundational principles of the United States. Levin also addresses the Israel-Hamas conflict, defending Israel’s actions and condemning antisemitism on college campuses and within the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, welcome in Outumber three, Clay Travis fuck Sexton show.
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Mark Levin
will join us at the bottom of the hour. He's
got a new book out. We will discuss all of
that with him.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Something that you may have never heard me say in
four years on this show, I am going to give
some praise to the New York Times, The Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I swear I'm an old man.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So for those of you watching me on video, I
am holding a my copy of the Sunday print edition
of the New York Time, and there is an article
in there by someone named Daniel Martinez host Song and
I probably have not pronounced all of that name correct.
I'm pretty good about Daniel Martinez. No idea how host
Song is supposed to be pronounced. But his article is
(00:47):
entitled Inside the Rise of the Multi Racial Right, and
it goes into how white, black, Asian and Hispanic voters
have overwhelmingly moved in the direction of Trump. And to
their credit, they have interviews with black voters in Milwaukee,
(01:07):
Asian voters in San Francisco, and Hispanic voters on the
border in Texas. All of them used to vote Democrat
and they now have moved on to vote for Trump
and be supportive of him. And I was thinking about
this when the Wall Street Journal, also over the weekend,
(01:33):
had a big piece analyzing larger political trends and issues,
and they found the Democrat Party to be the least
popular in the history of their.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Poll, thirty five year low.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
And I was thinking about that, the rise of black,
Hispanic and Asian Trump voters. I bet a lot of
you are out there listening who certainly were not Trump
voters in twenty sixteen, of a variety of different backgrounds,
but were by twenty twenty four. And I was thinking
about how to a large extent, I think it just
comes down to authenticity. And Mayor Pete, who we talked about,
(02:14):
actually has zero percent support among black voters, zero percent.
Was interviewed recently and he was asked a very straightforward question,
and to me, this is why Democrats have lost men
and have lost a lot of Asian, Black and Hispanic support.
They can't answer questions honestly, and I want you to
(02:36):
listen to this. Mayor Pete has asked a very simple question,
should men be allowed to compete in women's sports? I
want you to listen to his answer play. I believe
it's cut twenty six.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
When President Trump says something like no boys and girls' sports,
which is a phrase that they use, it.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Sounds like you're not signing on to that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I think that chess is different from weightlifting, and weightlifting
is different from volleyball, and you know, middle school is
different from the Olympics. So that's exactly why I think
that we shouldn't be grand standing on this as politicians.
We should be empowering communities and organizations and schools to
make the right decisions.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Keep it going, Pete, I love it. Keep speaking nonsense,
Keep telling people things that make them immediately think. You
can't answer a straightforward question. You dance in circles because
you think you're smarter than all of us, and you
are not.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
How about starting with I think chess is different than weightlifting.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, I don't hear a.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Lot of people say girls and boys shouldn't be able
to compete in chess. In fact, they do compete all
of the time, and so there is no yes, yes
if you sit at a board and play a board game.
I also think boys and girls should be able to
play Who sunk the battleship and clue and monopoly together. Yes,
(03:55):
I don't think that boys being bigger, stronger, and faster
implicates who passes go first. But I do think that
that clip that we just played is representative of why
Democrats are lost in the wilderness because they know that
they're on the wrong side of issues, and instead of
(04:15):
directly addressing a question like he was asked there, they
try and fill a buster and to your point, Buck
try to answer as if they are so much smarter
than everybody else who just wants to get an opinion.
And I think this is why one reason Mayor Peede
is at zero percent support among black people because in
addition to the fact that he's a gay, white guy,
(04:36):
which probably doesn't help him, he's also very faculty classroom
which is why I think white educated voters like him
because they think of him as the smart philosophy professor
at place you went to school, or Swarthmore someplace like that,
but they don't actually connect with average people going through
(04:59):
average daily life.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, this is why the Democrats have the problems they
do right now connecting because the people who are putting
themselves forward as the leaders of their party are smug
and disingenuous. I think I think it is apparent that
they have a real branding issue going forward, because as
(05:22):
much as Joe Biden was a clown, a jerk and
obviously had dementia for the four years of his presidency,
he used to understand the game, the grip and grin
to say whatever to make people think you care about
them just enough for them to pull the lever for you.
Like Joe Biden got that, you know, that was his
whole life was just b sing people into pretending that
(05:46):
he cares about or pretending that he cares about them
so they vote for him. There are all these other
Democrats now who people like Gavin Newsom. No one thinks
Gavin Newsom cares about them. Pete Buda Judge, Pete Buter
Judge doesn't make He may make you think that he
thinks he's smarter than you. And that's the whole game
with him, is that, you know, vote for me because
I'm so brilliant. That doesn't connect with people. And the
(06:08):
only people they have who connect are the socialists who
just go right to the we're a bunch of malcontents.
We're angry at other people who are more successful than us,
which is the AOC Bernie wing of their party. But
they don't have that Clintonian I'll feel your pain like
they don't have that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Here's one that I think is good buck. This is
from the New York Times from a voter in Milwaukee.
This guy's name is Orlando Owens. Listen to this, everybody
out there, and I want you to think about just
this this description, he says. At my first Democrat meeting,
two themes had me reconsider everything. The first was we
(06:46):
have to help the poor black men and women because
the white man is holding them down. This is the
first It's a black guy. By the way, this is
the first time I hear about this white savior complex
from white liberals. Then they said, we have to fight
for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters. We have
to do this or we're racist or bigots or homophobes
(07:08):
if we don't agree with you. When you get your
food stamp review, you have to go give shot records,
school records, blood type. You almost have to get absolutely
naked to get fifty dollars. But you have people come
into this country who have no documentation, who are staying
at hotels for two years for free. How's that right?
A lot of black people have already heard the promises
(07:30):
from Democrats and nothing was delivered. That guy, fifty one
year old voter from Milwaukee is more honest in that
answer than Mayor Pete who wants to be the president
of the United States and is trying to.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Persuade voters to support him.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's a fundamental inauthenticity that I think has really riven
through male voters. Now Here's the crazy thing, Buck, we
talked about to start the show off, the Sidney Sweeney situation.
Do you know the foremost critics right now of this
American Eagle Pretty Girl advertisement, white women, White women are
(08:17):
losing their minds on social media over the fact that
Sidney Sweeney, who is also a white woman, is in
some way the front of the Democrat Party, I mean, sorry,
in front of the front face.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Like cult members who now have the broader society challenging
their fundamental beliefs. And the fundamental belief of being in
the lib cult is that whiteness or just being white
must always be contained, demeaned, undermined, and it cannot you
cannot celebrate and can I just also point out it
particularly bothers them that it's a white woman with blonde
(08:52):
hair and blue eyes. This is like there specifically, that
is what really upsets them, to which I just sit
here and say, what, Like, these people are psychos? What
is wrong with them?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There's so you're supposed to be particularly ashamed of yourself
if you have blonde hair, and although it's very rare
genetically globally to have that, and yet we're supposed to
think that this is some kind of lover with this
saying it's a dog whistle for Nazism or something. You're insane.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, it's straight Nazism according to Good Morning America. But
I think this is such a fascinating question for people
out there, and maybe you can think of it. Has
there ever been a group of people that have hated
themselves for things that they cannot choose? That is now
(09:41):
the backbone of an entire political party, The Democrat Party
basically exists for liberal white women. That is the foundation
they are driving every decision that is made. The toxic
nature of the woke mind virus gets them particularly in
(10:04):
a way where everybody else, it's like, has gotten become
aware of how broken this worldview is. Except liberal white
women are now doubling and tripling and quadrupling down. Like
my favorite clip that we probably have played in the
past year, that white woman who went to go buy
the champagne or whatever it was to celebrate the fact
(10:25):
that women were showing up to vote Kamala and she
lectured the guy working in the liquor store about it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
We need to pull that back, sorry, Clay, you mean
the political analyst who was telling us that the women
of America will have their voices heard in this election.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
H I mean, yes, Like, maybe we can play that
at the end of the show for people who have
forgotten this. But what does it say that the Democrat
Party is basically being led to thirty five year lows
in popularity by almost entirely following the whims and emotional
responses of young white women who have decided they hate
(11:06):
other young white women for being pretty, blonde and having
blue eyes. I don't know that there is a historical
analogy to this. It's one thing to be arguing, Hey,
I'm proud of where I'm from, I'm proud of my race,
or I'm proud of my ethnicity, or I'm proud whatever
it is that's very common. Have we ever seen someone
(11:28):
self flagellate like this because of immutable characteristics that they
themselves did not choose, Like, nobody choose it. Well, I
know you can change your hair color now and things
like that, but nobody chooses to be a gender or
to same people do not choose to be a gender
or a race, right, They're an immutable characteristic. We are
(11:50):
born as we are. I'm not sure we've ever seen
anything like this, and I do think it's worth grappling
with to try to comprehend how we got here and why.
Guys like this Milwaukee black guy who I just quoted
from the New York Times are looking around and saying, man,
this is crazy. This is not the Democrat party I
grew up with.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
There's also a fighting against biology that is going on here,
with the anti Sydney Sweeney stuff, which is men are
going to like and by the way, there'll be women
will aspire toward female beauty, and men will be drawn
toward female beauty no matter what the lives and the
media and the propaganda machinery says. That's what the basic biology. Yes,
(12:35):
they can spend the rest of their lives telling us
that morbid obesity is the most sexy thing in the world,
and it is not going to change the desire that
men have for healthy, attractive females. It's just not gonna happen.
And this is where you know the left, because they
believe in the government in place of God and the
(12:56):
total control of government that would make some kind of utape.
They think that they can change even the most basic
parts of our of our humanity, and of our wiring.
And they can't. And this you see this with a
trans debate too. It's like, that's a woman. No, it's not.
You can tell me all day that the guy who
says he's a woman, it's just not gonna happen. I'm
not gonna sit here and go, Okay, yeah, you're right,
(13:17):
that's a woman. They can try, they can try, there's
no level of of persuasion, and then it's just brute force,
which is what they really started to try. Say it's
a woman, or you lose your job, say it's a woman,
or will ruin your life, your reputation, kick you off
the internet, debank you right. That's just brute force. And
(13:37):
that is what the Left in the Biden years decided
to go all in on on a number of these issues.
So yeah, people still like hot chicks. It's gonna continue.
It's gonna continue to be the case. Yeah, I trust me,
I'm sold. He's sold. Yeah he's not. He I understand
basic biology. I co sign here, all right it knowlls
(14:00):
me for a minute while I share a true story
with you. A teenage girl by the name of Kayla
is seventeen years old, pregnant, sitting all alone in a clinic.
It was terrified, tears blurring her eyes, thinking abortion was
her only option as she contented with the biggest decision
she's had to make in her first seventeen years on
this earth. And she was afraid to make that decision
until she was offered a free ultrasound that was paid
(14:20):
for by a thoughtful person just like you. The moment
Kayla heard her baby's heartbeat, she made the decision, the
decision for life, and today, her little baby boy, Gabriel
is thriving because Preborn walked with Kayla every step of
the way. Now multiply that story by about thirty eight
thousand times. That's how many babies Preborn has helped save.
(14:42):
Just this year, thirty eight thousand pregnant moms facing that
decision in crisis, just like Kayla and Preborn came along,
held their hand, hugged them and said, Hey, motherhood is
possible for you. But here's the most important thing you
will hear today. Their goal is to save seventy thousand
babies the end of this year, and they simply can't
(15:02):
do it without you and me. Every twenty eight dollars
provides that ultrasound and that's the moment that everything changes.
You'll be the reason the next Kala chooses life for
her tiny boy or girl and brings him into this world.
To donate securely, dial pound two fifty and say the
keyword baby. That's pound two five zero say baby. Or

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Welcome back in. We got Mark Levin joining us here. Shortly.
We've talked to him about his new book On Power,
and uh it is. The title is on Power and
we'll get into some news to day with him as well,
and we also wanted to just take a moment here
to let Howard Lutnik. He was on our friend Sean
Hannity show last night talking about the big trade deal.
It is a huge trade deal. It hasn't gotten a
(16:05):
lot of attention because the media doesn't want to talk
about this. Trump was right, they were wrong with a shock.
But here is Howard Lutnik discussing just what this does,
especially for American farmers and ranchers play too.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
The European Union is twenty trillion dollar economy, four hundred
and fifty million people. I mean, it is head and
shoulders bigger than all the other Western civilizations. So the
fact that the European Union is the monster deal. President
Trump did that deal yesterday. We were all together in Scotland.
(16:35):
We got the deal done, so we hear how it goes.
The European Union is going to pay fifteen percent and
they sell US six hundred billion dollars with the goods.
That's ninety billion dollars for America. And they agreed for
the first time ever to cut all their tariffs, cut
their barriers, and let American businesses and farmers and ranchers
and fishermen finally selling to the European Union mass market.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
This is huge for America, Huge for America. He's right,
it is big win for Trump, big win for American farmers, ranchers, fisherman.
EU Clay has really made it impossible for our beef,
our dairy, our go down the list. Are our fish
to be sold in the EU?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, Look, we've got China left, we have got India left.
There are still a few countries that are out there
to get deals done with. But I think this prediction
from all the experts that we were headed for some
sort of economic cataclysm has been proven to be one
hundred percent wrong. We keep setting new stock market records.
(17:43):
I saw the Atlanta Fed just adjusted their quarter two
expectations for growth up to nearly three percent. There's a
lot of economic positivity out there that is starting to
become very consequential.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Mark Levin coming up here in a second.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
In the meantime, cell phone's meant to at a long time,
not a lifetime, though, And thanks to pure Talk, your

the front Lines of Truth, Joined now by Mark Levin.
He's the The Mark Levin Show, also Fox News Channel's
(19:03):
Life Liberty and Levin and the chair of.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
The Landmark Legal Foundation.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
New book out today on Power and You have already
written eight consecutive New York Time number one best sellers.
That's kind of a pretty cool thing. But let's start
here Mark, before we dive into the book. What should
happen with the Russia collusion revelations from Tulci Gabbard and
what do you think actually will happen? Is there a
(19:32):
difference between what you would suggest and the reality? How
would you analyze this?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
First of all, thanks for having me. Well, she's not
going to be charged with treason. I think that's been
done once recent times and it's not going to happen.
The elements aren't there, unfortunately for legal treason. Was there
conduct treason is you know English common law? Probably so,
I meaning his conduct Obama's. I should say, well, what
(19:58):
should happen is they open a full investigation, which is
exactly what they're doing. They should question Obama. They should
get all his texts and emails in any other communication.
He should be questioned under oath. He should go through
the same rigor or all that that Trump did. They
created the precedent, but in this case he's a guilty
man and go through all that. You also have the
(20:22):
potential for process crimes as we call them, obstruction, perjury,
false statements, all that stuff, and he should be required
to defend his liberty. And also the reason you questioned
him is determined if other people have committed crimes, you know,
a conspiracy to use this kind of information to undermine
(20:44):
an election, that is a crime. But the extent to
which you know. You got lawyers commenting saying, you know,
conspiracy really starts with the last conspiratorial act. That's true,
But conspiracy has to start somewhere. If it starts twenty
years ago, it won't Why, But let's go ahead and
do the investigations. You don't need probable cause to conduct
(21:05):
a Quentin investigation. You need some notion of reasonableness. This
is more than reasonable, and conduct it and see where
it takes you.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Mark. We've been following, obviously very closely since the events
of October seventh, not only the war in Gaza against Hamas,
but also the waves of anti Semitism on campus. We
know that Columbia University just agreed to pay two hundred
million dollars at Harvard University under this Trump administration's tenure
(21:34):
is looking like they're going to have to pay substantially
more than that because of their failure to protect Jewish students.
There's a narrative though that we're seeing get a lot
of attention, including on the on the right by some
people that I think you would that people would consider
to be either at least Trump supporters Trump voters, that
there's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza that is of Israel's
(21:56):
making and intention. We played the US and battle to
Israel addressing that, but I wanted to hear your take
on not only what is really going on as you
see it over there, but also why are conservatives buying
into this?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
You know, there's conservatives and there's conservatives right there are
isolationists who claim to be conservatives, and then they're real
conservatives who are conservatives. And the bottom line is this,
Why would the Israelis want to starve to death the
people in Palestine, excuse me, the people in Gaza, and
had the whole world turn against them, Why would they
do that? The Israelis could have blown that little piece
(22:35):
of the earth of the face of the earth a
long time ago, but they haven't done that. John Spencer,
who's an expert in this, he says there's not another,
not another war on the face of the earth. Anytime
he looks back, anytime the country that was attacked, is
being forced to feed the people of those who attacked
(22:56):
them and slaughtered their own people. The Israelis have brought
in in enough food in Gaza to feed two million
people every single day. You've got eighteen wheelers that are stuck.
You've got palets of food that's stuck. Why are certain
conservatives speaking as they are. I don't even call them conservatives. Buck.
(23:16):
If you have this kind of anti Semitism and that
is your view, then there's something wrong with you. How
Maas is a terrorist organization. This is their last desperate
act in order to survive, to turn the entire world
against this little country. And they're succeeding. They're succeeding. I mean,
France has been conquered by open immigration. It is basically
(23:41):
it has failed as a Western society. Britain has been
fundamentally conquered by open immigration by the Islamists, and so forth.
It is failed. Much of Europe has failed. This was
the plot in the plan of the early Islamist scholars.
They wrote about it revolution by immigration. They're doing exactly
the same thing in our country. But for Donald Trump.
(24:01):
Can you imagine four more years and they may have
succeeded under a Bidener or a Kamala Harris. But for
Trump and the Democrat Party is fully engaged in this.
Look at the Democrat Party. We're most of the anti Semits,
you know, we have some freaks and fruitcakes and that
sort of thing. This is part of the Democrat Party.
This is the Bernie Sanders, aoc Tahalib, their candidates for office.
(24:26):
You know, if we had a candidate like this Mandani,
but instead he was wearing white robes and a white hood,
and he was part of the clan and said the
things that Mandani has said, you know, about international terrorism
against the jew we would reject that guy. We would
denounce that guy. Here you have Democrat Party leaders slobbering
all over themselves, bending over backwards, trying to figure out
(24:48):
how to support him without supporting him. So my answer
to you is, I can't explain the anti Semites wherever
they come from. But the fact is Hamas is killing
its own people the way Ma killed his own people,
the way Stalin killed his own people, the way these
bastards kill their own people because they're out for their
own power.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
The book is interestingly enough, given what you just talked
about The book is called on Power. Part of power
is knowing when to use it and when not to.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
You were right.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I think both Buck and I were right on this too,
that striking around a significant blow on their nuclear capabilities
was the right decision for President Trump. We heard from
tons of people out there that if this happened, world
War three would happen. Thousands of Americans would die, the
price of oil would go to ten dollars a gallon.
None of that happened, and many of the people who
(25:42):
said that would happen, It's like it never even occurred
that debate. How do you take consequence this year going
forward when it comes to analyzing that situation, and how
much of a win do you think that was really
for Trump to have made that decision.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
It was big for President Trump to make that. Look,
he has a technique, which is, let us negotiate, let's
make a deal, let's see if we can get where
we get. But if you're dealing with people who are
irrational on the other side, you know, like terrorists are
communists or that sort of thing, or hamaf types and
so forth and so on, there's a point at which
(26:22):
it becomes obvious that that's not going to work because
you're dealing with really what is a what I call
positive power mentality versus people who have no interest in
that whatsoever. They're very evil. As to the people who
predicted these things, they should be shamed, they should be disgraced,
and they're going to keep doing it because they need
(26:43):
the hits, they need the eyes, they need the clicks,
they need all that stuff. And you know, I don't
know who is arguing what you guys are very solid.
I know I was arguing too, this isn't war mongering,
for God's sakes, preventing a terrorist regime from having a
time weapons. They keep threatening us for the use of
these missiles that they were going to build into the
(27:05):
tens of thousands that are aligned with communist China and
communists North Korea and kg B Putin. I mean, if
we're not going to take us stand there, then when
the hell are we going to take us than when
they hit us the continentally United States. That is absurd.
That is isolationism. That is not what Trump meant by
peace through strength. It's not what Reagan meant by peace
(27:27):
through strength. They are not isolationists. In other words, they're
not suicidal.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Mark wanted to ask you to tell us a bit
about the book out today on Power. And I know
you've written eight number one best sellers, this one already
rocketing off the charts. What do you want people to
take away? And a lot of people in this audience
and know are getting their copyright a great August beach
or out in the woods at the cabin read everybody
on Power? What do you want people to take from
(27:54):
the book?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Or sitting in your ass on the basement like I do.
Here's the thing. We debate liberty, we debate rights. I
was thinking about this. We have got to become more
effective in dealing with these Marxists, these Islamists, these other people.
What is it that the Revolutionary War was fought over?
(28:16):
It really wasn't photo oh, liberty, It was thought over power.
Who gets to decide what? You know? The French Revolution
was fought to destroy their society. The American Revolution was
not fought to destroy our society. Was fought for representative government.
And you start to think about these things. What makes
us so different from Europe? What makes us so different
from the Marxists and the Islamists? What makes us different
(28:38):
is what the founders told us a belief in God,
a belief in the Judeo Christian value system. It's very
explicit about it, and it's fused with the Enlightenment. You know,
power checks power. You're not going to find that with
the Marxist, whether it's Bernie Sanders or talib or any
of them. It is a constant battle with the Democrats
and their ideologues were centralization of power versus individual sovereignty.
(29:04):
God is sovereign on earth. We are His children, we
are sovereign. Look, I'm not proselytizing. I'm not even capable
of proselytizing. You don't have to be Jewish or Christian,
you don't have to be a believer in anything. But
our country was created under this belief system that has
enabled this tolerance and this diversity and freedom and freedom
(29:26):
of speech and limited government. Communism is the opposite Islamism.
Radical political Islamism is the opposite no free speech, no debate.
It's conformity and control. And I'm just trying to express
in this book. I take the word power and I
break it into different pieces positive negative, thought control, language control,
(29:46):
because we better get better at explaining what we're fighting
over or we're gonna lose. We'll have respites with the
Donald Trump. But when these guys take power, they make
permanent changes like open borders. Can you imagine if the
board had been opened another four years. I don't think
we could have recovered from this, and it could be
open another four years if we lose an election. So
my view is when we explain to people, when you
(30:09):
listen to them on Domini's, people like that. What they're
saying is, we're going to steal your liberty, your individuality,
We're going to steal your rights. We're going to make
decisions for you. This thirty three year old punk who's
never done anything, he's going to determine how each and
every one of us are going to live, how we're
going to raise a family, where we're going to raise
a family. Redistribution of wealth, which is the destruction of wealth,
(30:32):
which is the destruction of private property. This is the
whole sixteen nineteen projects, CRT DEI, whatever Kakamami ideas they
can come up with, wocism, language control, thought control, people
need to understand you are fighting for your own liberty
and survival. That's what's going on here. That's what I'm
(30:54):
trying to explain in this book in a number of
different ways.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The book is on power. Mark Levin you will know
him is the author. Go get your copy. Mark. Congrats

With the tariff deals being announced this week, you're gonna
hear estimates of how many billions of dollars are going
to be coming into our federal government. Now that's a
great thing, but we still have a thirty seven trillion

financial challenges as a country when it comes to inflation,
money printing. How do we get out of this debt

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Close Enough Shop today on Play and Buck, I want
to remind you please subscribe to our YouTube channel. We
want to get over one hundred k on YouTube. We're
now really focusing in on this. We haven't focused in
on it in the past for a bunch of different reasons,
mostly because we just wanted to get to close to
six hundred stations, and now that we're at the five
hundred and sixty or five hundred and seventy mark, we're like, okay,
(33:18):
we got our stations lined up, and now we also
want to expand and do more video as well. So
just give you a chance to watch the video on YouTube.
Go to YouTube dot com at Clayanbuck. Please push those
numbers up. We'll continue to do more cool stuff and
we're going to start to do original content for YouTube
as well, especially answering questions from talkbacks and emails on
(33:40):
video that you'll only see on the YouTube channel. Clay
and I are already working on some additional content that
will only be at that YouTube channel for post show stuff,
you know, kind of like post show hangout. So if
three hours of Clay and Buck is not enough, and
let's be honest, could that be enough for anyone?
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Uh? I always tell my I always tell my wife Clay.
I was like, Honey, people have with the Clay for
three hours a day. You know this is a She's
just like, yeah, yeah, you know that's good. That's a
good thing.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
So we got some talkbacks going here, and let's dive
into them. Jerry from New York on w r d D.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
Sorry to interrupt Clay on his high horse with his
six inch cowboy boots, but interesting study in regard to
beauty and advertising everything else. They did a study on
tipping and women with larger boobs. Waitresses got more figure
tips from men, no shock, but that they were shocked
(34:36):
by was women tip women with larger boobs as well.
Figured get in Clay's favorite topic.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I did not know that the men's side, obviously does
not surprise me at all. You know, I bet you
would find that attractive waitresses make more money in tips
from men, regardless of who the men are. But women
like boobs too, That doesn't shock me. Sam in Toledo,
what you got for us?
Speaker 9 (35:03):
So let me get this straight. Because she referenced having
good genes as far as DNA as she got from
her parents that made her hot. That is something to
do with a Nazi. I've got good gens. It only
made me smart. I'm ugly as all hell, but I mean,
(35:24):
am I a Nazi?
Speaker 10 (35:25):
Now?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yes, you're a Nazi if you have good genes. For
those of you who missed it, good morning America. Because
Sidney Sweeney references her good genes in a clear pun
intended to reference both her genes J E. Nas and
her genes G E n ees, it has set left
wingers off the off the reservation. Let's play our favorite
(35:50):
left wing liberal woman, Arlene celebrating Kamala's big win.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
This is a perfect way to end the show.
Speaker 10 (36:00):
Almost five pm Eastern time, and I've been trucking everything
that's been going on across the country today.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
And my most.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Important encounter was when I went out to get my champagne.
I was talking to the guy in the store, of course,
asking him did he vote, and he said he did
early voting, and he asked me if I early voted,
and he asked me, you know why I was getting
(36:27):
the champagne, and I said, because I'm going to be
toasting Madam President tonight.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
And he just looked at me with kind of like
a smirk on his face, and I said, you know,
she's she's going to win this right And he said, oh, well,
it's very very close. And I said, no, it's not.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
He says, well, what do you mean.
Speaker 10 (36:42):
I said, no, it's not. The women of America are
making their voices heard. Reproductive rights is what it all
comes down to.
Oh, welcome in Outumber three, Clay Travis fuck Sexton show.
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Mark Levin
will join us at the bottom of the hour. He's
got a new book out. We will discuss all of
that with him.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Something that you may have never heard me say in
four years on this show, I am going to give
some praise to the New York Times, The Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I swear I'm an old man.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So for those of you watching me on video, I
am holding a my copy of the Sunday print edition
of the New York Time, and there is an article
in there by someone named Daniel Martinez host Song and
I probably have not pronounced all of that name correct.
I'm pretty good about Daniel Martinez. No idea how host
Song is supposed to be pronounced. But his article is
(00:47):
entitled Inside the Rise of the Multi Racial Right, and
it goes into how white, black, Asian and Hispanic voters
have overwhelmingly moved in the direction of Trump. And to
their credit, they have interviews with black voters in Milwaukee,
(01:07):
Asian voters in San Francisco, and Hispanic voters on the
border in Texas. All of them used to vote Democrat
and they now have moved on to vote for Trump
and be supportive of him. And I was thinking about
this when the Wall Street Journal, also over the weekend,
(01:33):
had a big piece analyzing larger political trends and issues,
and they found the Democrat Party to be the least
popular in the history of their.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Poll, thirty five year low.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
And I was thinking about that, the rise of black,
Hispanic and Asian Trump voters. I bet a lot of
you are out there listening who certainly were not Trump
voters in twenty sixteen, of a variety of different backgrounds,
but were by twenty twenty four. And I was thinking
about how to a large extent, I think it just
comes down to authenticity. And Mayor Pete, who we talked about,
(02:14):
actually has zero percent support among black voters, zero percent.
Was interviewed recently and he was asked a very straightforward question,
and to me, this is why Democrats have lost men
and have lost a lot of Asian, Black and Hispanic support.
They can't answer questions honestly, and I want you to
(02:36):
listen to this. Mayor Pete has asked a very simple question,
should men be allowed to compete in women's sports? I
want you to listen to his answer play. I believe
it's cut twenty six.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
When President Trump says something like no boys and girls' sports,
which is a phrase that they use, it.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Sounds like you're not signing on to that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I think that chess is different from weightlifting, and weightlifting
is different from volleyball, and you know, middle school is
different from the Olympics. So that's exactly why I think
that we shouldn't be grand standing on this as politicians.
We should be empowering communities and organizations and schools to
make the right decisions.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Keep it going, Pete, I love it. Keep speaking nonsense,
Keep telling people things that make them immediately think. You
can't answer a straightforward question. You dance in circles because
you think you're smarter than all of us, and you
are not.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
How about starting with I think chess is different than weightlifting.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, I don't hear a.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Lot of people say girls and boys shouldn't be able
to compete in chess. In fact, they do compete all
of the time, and so there is no yes, yes
if you sit at a board and play a board game.
I also think boys and girls should be able to
play Who sunk the battleship and clue and monopoly together. Yes,
(03:55):
I don't think that boys being bigger, stronger, and faster
implicates who passes go first. But I do think that
that clip that we just played is representative of why
Democrats are lost in the wilderness because they know that
they're on the wrong side of issues, and instead of
(04:15):
directly addressing a question like he was asked there, they
try and fill a buster and to your point, Buck
try to answer as if they are so much smarter
than everybody else who just wants to get an opinion.
And I think this is why one reason Mayor Peede
is at zero percent support among black people because in
addition to the fact that he's a gay, white guy,
(04:36):
which probably doesn't help him, he's also very faculty classroom
which is why I think white educated voters like him
because they think of him as the smart philosophy professor
at place you went to school, or Swarthmore someplace like that,
but they don't actually connect with average people going through
(04:59):
average daily life.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, this is why the Democrats have the problems they
do right now connecting because the people who are putting
themselves forward as the leaders of their party are smug
and disingenuous. I think I think it is apparent that
they have a real branding issue going forward, because as
(05:22):
much as Joe Biden was a clown, a jerk and
obviously had dementia for the four years of his presidency,
he used to understand the game, the grip and grin
to say whatever to make people think you care about
them just enough for them to pull the lever for you.
Like Joe Biden got that, you know, that was his
whole life was just b sing people into pretending that
(05:46):
he cares about or pretending that he cares about them
so they vote for him. There are all these other
Democrats now who people like Gavin Newsom. No one thinks
Gavin Newsom cares about them. Pete Buda Judge, Pete Buter
Judge doesn't make He may make you think that he
thinks he's smarter than you. And that's the whole game
with him, is that, you know, vote for me because
I'm so brilliant. That doesn't connect with people. And the
(06:08):
only people they have who connect are the socialists who
just go right to the we're a bunch of malcontents.
We're angry at other people who are more successful than us,
which is the AOC Bernie wing of their party. But
they don't have that Clintonian I'll feel your pain like
they don't have that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Here's one that I think is good buck. This is
from the New York Times from a voter in Milwaukee.
This guy's name is Orlando Owens. Listen to this, everybody
out there, and I want you to think about just
this this description, he says. At my first Democrat meeting,
two themes had me reconsider everything. The first was we
(06:46):
have to help the poor black men and women because
the white man is holding them down. This is the
first It's a black guy. By the way, this is
the first time I hear about this white savior complex
from white liberals. Then they said, we have to fight
for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters. We have
to do this or we're racist or bigots or homophobes
(07:08):
if we don't agree with you. When you get your
food stamp review, you have to go give shot records,
school records, blood type. You almost have to get absolutely
naked to get fifty dollars. But you have people come
into this country who have no documentation, who are staying
at hotels for two years for free. How's that right?
A lot of black people have already heard the promises
(07:30):
from Democrats and nothing was delivered. That guy, fifty one
year old voter from Milwaukee is more honest in that
answer than Mayor Pete who wants to be the president
of the United States and is trying to.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Persuade voters to support him.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's a fundamental inauthenticity that I think has really riven
through male voters. Now Here's the crazy thing, Buck, we
talked about to start the show off, the Sidney Sweeney situation.
Do you know the foremost critics right now of this
American Eagle Pretty Girl advertisement, white women, White women are
(08:17):
losing their minds on social media over the fact that
Sidney Sweeney, who is also a white woman, is in
some way the front of the Democrat Party, I mean, sorry,
in front of the front face.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Like cult members who now have the broader society challenging
their fundamental beliefs. And the fundamental belief of being in
the lib cult is that whiteness or just being white
must always be contained, demeaned, undermined, and it cannot you
cannot celebrate and can I just also point out it
particularly bothers them that it's a white woman with blonde
(08:52):
hair and blue eyes. This is like there specifically, that
is what really upsets them, to which I just sit
here and say, what, Like, these people are psychos? What
is wrong with them?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There's so you're supposed to be particularly ashamed of yourself
if you have blonde hair, and although it's very rare
genetically globally to have that, and yet we're supposed to
think that this is some kind of lover with this
saying it's a dog whistle for Nazism or something. You're insane.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, it's straight Nazism according to Good Morning America. But
I think this is such a fascinating question for people
out there, and maybe you can think of it. Has
there ever been a group of people that have hated
themselves for things that they cannot choose? That is now
(09:41):
the backbone of an entire political party, The Democrat Party
basically exists for liberal white women. That is the foundation
they are driving every decision that is made. The toxic
nature of the woke mind virus gets them particularly in
(10:04):
a way where everybody else, it's like, has gotten become
aware of how broken this worldview is. Except liberal white
women are now doubling and tripling and quadrupling down. Like
my favorite clip that we probably have played in the
past year, that white woman who went to go buy
the champagne or whatever it was to celebrate the fact
(10:25):
that women were showing up to vote Kamala and she
lectured the guy working in the liquor store about it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
We need to pull that back, sorry, Clay, you mean
the political analyst who was telling us that the women
of America will have their voices heard in this election.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
H I mean, yes, Like, maybe we can play that
at the end of the show for people who have
forgotten this. But what does it say that the Democrat
Party is basically being led to thirty five year lows
in popularity by almost entirely following the whims and emotional
responses of young white women who have decided they hate
(11:06):
other young white women for being pretty, blonde and having
blue eyes. I don't know that there is a historical
analogy to this. It's one thing to be arguing, Hey,
I'm proud of where I'm from, I'm proud of my race,
or I'm proud of my ethnicity, or I'm proud whatever
it is that's very common. Have we ever seen someone
(11:28):
self flagellate like this because of immutable characteristics that they
themselves did not choose, Like, nobody choose it. Well, I
know you can change your hair color now and things
like that, but nobody chooses to be a gender or
to same people do not choose to be a gender
or a race, right, They're an immutable characteristic. We are
(11:50):
born as we are. I'm not sure we've ever seen
anything like this, and I do think it's worth grappling
with to try to comprehend how we got here and why.
Guys like this Milwaukee black guy who I just quoted
from the New York Times are looking around and saying, man,
this is crazy. This is not the Democrat party I
grew up with.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
There's also a fighting against biology that is going on here,
with the anti Sydney Sweeney stuff, which is men are
going to like and by the way, there'll be women
will aspire toward female beauty, and men will be drawn
toward female beauty no matter what the lives and the
media and the propaganda machinery says. That's what the basic biology. Yes,
(12:35):
they can spend the rest of their lives telling us
that morbid obesity is the most sexy thing in the world,
and it is not going to change the desire that
men have for healthy, attractive females. It's just not gonna happen.
And this is where you know the left, because they
believe in the government in place of God and the
(12:56):
total control of government that would make some kind of utape.
They think that they can change even the most basic
parts of our of our humanity, and of our wiring.
And they can't. And this you see this with a
trans debate too. It's like, that's a woman. No, it's not.
You can tell me all day that the guy who
says he's a woman, it's just not gonna happen. I'm
not gonna sit here and go, Okay, yeah, you're right,
(13:17):
that's a woman. They can try, they can try, there's
no level of of persuasion, and then it's just brute force,
which is what they really started to try. Say it's
a woman, or you lose your job, say it's a woman,
or will ruin your life, your reputation, kick you off
the internet, debank you right. That's just brute force. And
(13:37):
that is what the Left in the Biden years decided
to go all in on on a number of these issues.
So yeah, people still like hot chicks. It's gonna continue.
It's gonna continue to be the case. Yeah, I trust me,
I'm sold. He's sold. Yeah he's not. He I understand
basic biology. I co sign here, all right it knowlls
(14:00):
me for a minute while I share a true story
with you. A teenage girl by the name of Kayla
is seventeen years old, pregnant, sitting all alone in a clinic.
It was terrified, tears blurring her eyes, thinking abortion was
her only option as she contented with the biggest decision
she's had to make in her first seventeen years on
this earth. And she was afraid to make that decision
until she was offered a free ultrasound that was paid
(14:20):
for by a thoughtful person just like you. The moment
Kayla heard her baby's heartbeat, she made the decision, the
decision for life, and today, her little baby boy, Gabriel
is thriving because Preborn walked with Kayla every step of
the way. Now multiply that story by about thirty eight
thousand times. That's how many babies Preborn has helped save.
(14:42):
Just this year, thirty eight thousand pregnant moms facing that
decision in crisis, just like Kayla and Preborn came along,
held their hand, hugged them and said, Hey, motherhood is
possible for you. But here's the most important thing you
will hear today. Their goal is to save seventy thousand
babies the end of this year, and they simply can't
(15:02):
do it without you and me. Every twenty eight dollars
provides that ultrasound and that's the moment that everything changes.
You'll be the reason the next Kala chooses life for
her tiny boy or girl and brings him into this world.
To donate securely, dial pound two fifty and say the
keyword baby. That's pound two five zero say baby. Or

Welcome back in. We got Mark Levin joining us here. Shortly.
We've talked to him about his new book On Power,
and uh it is. The title is on Power and
we'll get into some news to day with him as well,
and we also wanted to just take a moment here
to let Howard Lutnik. He was on our friend Sean
Hannity show last night talking about the big trade deal.
It is a huge trade deal. It hasn't gotten a
(16:05):
lot of attention because the media doesn't want to talk
about this. Trump was right, they were wrong with a shock.
But here is Howard Lutnik discussing just what this does,
especially for American farmers and ranchers play too.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
The European Union is twenty trillion dollar economy, four hundred
and fifty million people. I mean, it is head and
shoulders bigger than all the other Western civilizations. So the
fact that the European Union is the monster deal. President
Trump did that deal yesterday. We were all together in Scotland.
(16:35):
We got the deal done, so we hear how it goes.
The European Union is going to pay fifteen percent and
they sell US six hundred billion dollars with the goods.
That's ninety billion dollars for America. And they agreed for
the first time ever to cut all their tariffs, cut
their barriers, and let American businesses and farmers and ranchers
and fishermen finally selling to the European Union mass market.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
This is huge for America, Huge for America. He's right,
it is big win for Trump, big win for American farmers, ranchers, fisherman.
EU Clay has really made it impossible for our beef,
our dairy, our go down the list. Are our fish
to be sold in the EU?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, Look, we've got China left, we have got India left.
There are still a few countries that are out there
to get deals done with. But I think this prediction
from all the experts that we were headed for some
sort of economic cataclysm has been proven to be one
hundred percent wrong. We keep setting new stock market records.
(17:43):
I saw the Atlanta Fed just adjusted their quarter two
expectations for growth up to nearly three percent. There's a
lot of economic positivity out there that is starting to
become very consequential.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Mark Levin coming up here in a second.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
In the meantime, cell phone's meant to at a long time,
not a lifetime, though, And thanks to pure Talk, your

Speaker 1 (19:09):
New book out today on Power and You have already
written eight consecutive New York Time number one best sellers.
That's kind of a pretty cool thing. But let's start
here Mark, before we dive into the book. What should
happen with the Russia collusion revelations from Tulci Gabbard and
what do you think actually will happen? Is there a
(19:32):
difference between what you would suggest and the reality? How
would you analyze this?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
First of all, thanks for having me. Well, she's not
going to be charged with treason. I think that's been
done once recent times and it's not going to happen.
The elements aren't there, unfortunately for legal treason. Was there
conduct treason is you know English common law? Probably so,
I meaning his conduct Obama's. I should say, well, what
(19:58):
should happen is they open a full investigation, which is
exactly what they're doing. They should question Obama. They should
get all his texts and emails in any other communication.
He should be questioned under oath. He should go through
the same rigor or all that that Trump did. They
created the precedent, but in this case he's a guilty
man and go through all that. You also have the
(20:22):
potential for process crimes as we call them, obstruction, perjury,
false statements, all that stuff, and he should be required
to defend his liberty. And also the reason you questioned
him is determined if other people have committed crimes, you know,
a conspiracy to use this kind of information to undermine
(20:44):
an election, that is a crime. But the extent to
which you know. You got lawyers commenting saying, you know,
conspiracy really starts with the last conspiratorial act. That's true,
But conspiracy has to start somewhere. If it starts twenty
years ago, it won't Why, But let's go ahead and
do the investigations. You don't need probable cause to conduct
(21:05):
a Quentin investigation. You need some notion of reasonableness. This
is more than reasonable, and conduct it and see where
it takes you.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Mark. We've been following, obviously very closely since the events
of October seventh, not only the war in Gaza against Hamas,
but also the waves of anti Semitism on campus. We
know that Columbia University just agreed to pay two hundred
million dollars at Harvard University under this Trump administration's tenure
(21:34):
is looking like they're going to have to pay substantially
more than that because of their failure to protect Jewish students.
There's a narrative though that we're seeing get a lot
of attention, including on the on the right by some
people that I think you would that people would consider
to be either at least Trump supporters Trump voters, that
there's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza that is of Israel's
(21:56):
making and intention. We played the US and battle to
Israel addressing that, but I wanted to hear your take
on not only what is really going on as you
see it over there, but also why are conservatives buying
into this?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
You know, there's conservatives and there's conservatives right there are
isolationists who claim to be conservatives, and then they're real
conservatives who are conservatives. And the bottom line is this,
Why would the Israelis want to starve to death the
people in Palestine, excuse me, the people in Gaza, and
had the whole world turn against them, Why would they
do that? The Israelis could have blown that little piece
(22:35):
of the earth of the face of the earth a
long time ago, but they haven't done that. John Spencer,
who's an expert in this, he says there's not another,
not another war on the face of the earth. Anytime
he looks back, anytime the country that was attacked, is
being forced to feed the people of those who attacked
(22:56):
them and slaughtered their own people. The Israelis have brought
in in enough food in Gaza to feed two million
people every single day. You've got eighteen wheelers that are stuck.
You've got palets of food that's stuck. Why are certain
conservatives speaking as they are. I don't even call them conservatives. Buck.
(23:16):
If you have this kind of anti Semitism and that
is your view, then there's something wrong with you. How
Maas is a terrorist organization. This is their last desperate
act in order to survive, to turn the entire world
against this little country. And they're succeeding. They're succeeding. I mean,
France has been conquered by open immigration. It is basically
(23:41):
it has failed as a Western society. Britain has been
fundamentally conquered by open immigration by the Islamists, and so forth.
It is failed. Much of Europe has failed. This was
the plot in the plan of the early Islamist scholars.
They wrote about it revolution by immigration. They're doing exactly
the same thing in our country. But for Donald Trump.
(24:01):
Can you imagine four more years and they may have
succeeded under a Bidener or a Kamala Harris. But for
Trump and the Democrat Party is fully engaged in this.
Look at the Democrat Party. We're most of the anti Semits,
you know, we have some freaks and fruitcakes and that
sort of thing. This is part of the Democrat Party.
This is the Bernie Sanders, aoc Tahalib, their candidates for office.
(24:26):
You know, if we had a candidate like this Mandani,
but instead he was wearing white robes and a white hood,
and he was part of the clan and said the
things that Mandani has said, you know, about international terrorism
against the jew we would reject that guy. We would
denounce that guy. Here you have Democrat Party leaders slobbering
all over themselves, bending over backwards, trying to figure out
(24:48):
how to support him without supporting him. So my answer
to you is, I can't explain the anti Semites wherever
they come from. But the fact is Hamas is killing
its own people the way Ma killed his own people,
the way Stalin killed his own people, the way these
bastards kill their own people because they're out for their
own power.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
The book is interestingly enough, given what you just talked
about The book is called on Power. Part of power
is knowing when to use it and when not to.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
You were right.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I think both Buck and I were right on this too,
that striking around a significant blow on their nuclear capabilities
was the right decision for President Trump. We heard from
tons of people out there that if this happened, world
War three would happen. Thousands of Americans would die, the
price of oil would go to ten dollars a gallon.
None of that happened, and many of the people who
(25:42):
said that would happen, It's like it never even occurred
that debate. How do you take consequence this year going
forward when it comes to analyzing that situation, and how
much of a win do you think that was really
for Trump to have made that decision.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
It was big for President Trump to make that. Look,
he has a technique, which is, let us negotiate, let's
make a deal, let's see if we can get where
we get. But if you're dealing with people who are
irrational on the other side, you know, like terrorists are
communists or that sort of thing, or hamaf types and
so forth and so on, there's a point at which
(26:22):
it becomes obvious that that's not going to work because
you're dealing with really what is a what I call
positive power mentality versus people who have no interest in
that whatsoever. They're very evil. As to the people who
predicted these things, they should be shamed, they should be disgraced,
and they're going to keep doing it because they need
(26:43):
the hits, they need the eyes, they need the clicks,
they need all that stuff. And you know, I don't
know who is arguing what you guys are very solid.
I know I was arguing too, this isn't war mongering,
for God's sakes, preventing a terrorist regime from having a
time weapons. They keep threatening us for the use of
these missiles that they were going to build into the
(27:05):
tens of thousands that are aligned with communist China and
communists North Korea and kg B Putin. I mean, if
we're not going to take us stand there, then when
the hell are we going to take us than when
they hit us the continentally United States. That is absurd.
That is isolationism. That is not what Trump meant by
peace through strength. It's not what Reagan meant by peace
(27:27):
through strength. They are not isolationists. In other words, they're
not suicidal.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Mark wanted to ask you to tell us a bit
about the book out today on Power. And I know
you've written eight number one best sellers, this one already
rocketing off the charts. What do you want people to
take away? And a lot of people in this audience
and know are getting their copyright a great August beach
or out in the woods at the cabin read everybody
on Power? What do you want people to take from
(27:54):
the book?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Or sitting in your ass on the basement like I do.
Here's the thing. We debate liberty, we debate rights. I
was thinking about this. We have got to become more
effective in dealing with these Marxists, these Islamists, these other people.
What is it that the Revolutionary War was fought over?
(28:16):
It really wasn't photo oh, liberty, It was thought over power.
Who gets to decide what? You know? The French Revolution
was fought to destroy their society. The American Revolution was
not fought to destroy our society. Was fought for representative government.
And you start to think about these things. What makes
us so different from Europe? What makes us so different
from the Marxists and the Islamists? What makes us different
(28:38):
is what the founders told us a belief in God,
a belief in the Judeo Christian value system. It's very
explicit about it, and it's fused with the Enlightenment. You know,
power checks power. You're not going to find that with
the Marxist, whether it's Bernie Sanders or talib or any
of them. It is a constant battle with the Democrats
and their ideologues were centralization of power versus individual sovereignty.
(29:04):
God is sovereign on earth. We are His children, we
are sovereign. Look, I'm not proselytizing. I'm not even capable
of proselytizing. You don't have to be Jewish or Christian,
you don't have to be a believer in anything. But
our country was created under this belief system that has
enabled this tolerance and this diversity and freedom and freedom
(29:26):
of speech and limited government. Communism is the opposite Islamism.
Radical political Islamism is the opposite no free speech, no debate.
It's conformity and control. And I'm just trying to express
in this book. I take the word power and I
break it into different pieces positive negative, thought control, language control,
(29:46):
because we better get better at explaining what we're fighting
over or we're gonna lose. We'll have respites with the
Donald Trump. But when these guys take power, they make
permanent changes like open borders. Can you imagine if the
board had been opened another four years. I don't think
we could have recovered from this, and it could be
open another four years if we lose an election. So
my view is when we explain to people, when you
(30:09):
listen to them on Domini's, people like that. What they're
saying is, we're going to steal your liberty, your individuality,
We're going to steal your rights. We're going to make
decisions for you. This thirty three year old punk who's
never done anything, he's going to determine how each and
every one of us are going to live, how we're
going to raise a family, where we're going to raise
a family. Redistribution of wealth, which is the destruction of wealth,
(30:32):
which is the destruction of private property. This is the
whole sixteen nineteen projects, CRT DEI, whatever Kakamami ideas they
can come up with, wocism, language control, thought control, people
need to understand you are fighting for your own liberty
and survival. That's what's going on here. That's what I'm
(30:54):
trying to explain in this book in a number of
different ways.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The book is on power. Mark Levin you will know
him is the author. Go get your copy. Mark. Congrats
on the new book, and thanks for making time for
us today.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
With the tariff deals being announced this week, you're gonna
hear estimates of how many billions of dollars are going
to be coming into our federal government. Now that's a
great thing, but we still have a thirty seven trillion
dollar debt. We still have a lot of long term
financial challenges as a country when it comes to inflation,
money printing. How do we get out of this debt
and what's going to happen in the meantime. Look, I'm
(31:33):

Close Enough Shop today on Play and Buck, I want
to remind you please subscribe to our YouTube channel. We
want to get over one hundred k on YouTube. We're
now really focusing in on this. We haven't focused in
on it in the past for a bunch of different reasons,
mostly because we just wanted to get to close to
six hundred stations, and now that we're at the five
hundred and sixty or five hundred and seventy mark, we're like, okay,
(33:18):
we got our stations lined up, and now we also
want to expand and do more video as well. So
just give you a chance to watch the video on YouTube.
Go to YouTube dot com at Clayanbuck. Please push those
numbers up. We'll continue to do more cool stuff and
we're going to start to do original content for YouTube
as well, especially answering questions from talkbacks and emails on
(33:40):
video that you'll only see on the YouTube channel. Clay
and I are already working on some additional content that
will only be at that YouTube channel for post show stuff,
you know, kind of like post show hangout. So if
three hours of Clay and Buck is not enough, and
let's be honest, could that be enough for anyone?
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Uh? I always tell my I always tell my wife Clay.
I was like, Honey, people have with the Clay for
three hours a day. You know this is a She's
just like, yeah, yeah, you know that's good. That's a
good thing.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
So we got some talkbacks going here, and let's dive
into them. Jerry from New York on w r d D.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
Sorry to interrupt Clay on his high horse with his
six inch cowboy boots, but interesting study in regard to
beauty and advertising everything else. They did a study on
tipping and women with larger boobs. Waitresses got more figure
tips from men, no shock, but that they were shocked
(34:36):
by was women tip women with larger boobs as well.
Figured get in Clay's favorite topic.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I did not know that the men's side, obviously does
not surprise me at all. You know, I bet you
would find that attractive waitresses make more money in tips
from men, regardless of who the men are. But women
like boobs too, That doesn't shock me. Sam in Toledo,
what you got for us?
Speaker 9 (35:03):
So let me get this straight. Because she referenced having
good genes as far as DNA as she got from
her parents that made her hot. That is something to
do with a Nazi. I've got good gens. It only
made me smart. I'm ugly as all hell, but I mean,
(35:24):
am I a Nazi?
Speaker 10 (35:25):
Now?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yes, you're a Nazi if you have good genes. For
those of you who missed it, good morning America. Because
Sidney Sweeney references her good genes in a clear pun
intended to reference both her genes J E. Nas and
her genes G E n ees, it has set left
wingers off the off the reservation. Let's play our favorite
(35:50):
left wing liberal woman, Arlene celebrating Kamala's big win.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
This is a perfect way to end the show.
Speaker 10 (36:00):
Almost five pm Eastern time, and I've been trucking everything
that's been going on across the country today.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
And my most.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Important encounter was when I went out to get my champagne.
I was talking to the guy in the store, of course,
asking him did he vote, and he said he did
early voting, and he asked me if I early voted,
and he asked me, you know why I was getting
(36:27):
the champagne, and I said, because I'm going to be
toasting Madam President tonight.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
And he just looked at me with kind of like
a smirk on his face, and I said, you know,
she's she's going to win this right And he said, oh, well,
it's very very close. And I said, no, it's not.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
He says, well, what do you mean.
Speaker 10 (36:42):
I said, no, it's not. The women of America are
making their voices heard. Reproductive rights is what it all
comes down to.
