Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and wide-ranging discussion on immigration enforcement, judicial activism, political resistance, and the enduring impact of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The hour opens with a deep dive into the Trump administration’s renewed focus on mass deportation and the legal challenges facing ICE officers, including a controversial federal court ruling that limits their authority. Border Czar Tom Holman is praised for his unwavering stance on immigration enforcement.

The conversation then shifts to the judiciary’s growing influence over immigration policy, with sharp criticism aimed at federal judges who are perceived to be obstructing enforcement efforts. The hosts argue that many judges, particularly those appointed during the Biden and Obama administrations, are acting as political operatives rather than impartial arbiters of the law.

A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to a critical analysis of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The hosts accuse her of prioritizing personal political beliefs over constitutional interpretation, contrasting her approach with that of Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan. This segment underscores concerns about judicial overreach and the erosion of public trust in the legal system.

The show also covers the political ambitions of Andrew Cuomo, who is running for mayor of New York City as an independent against Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani, who is really just a communist. The hosts speculate on the implications of a fractured anti-left vote and express concern over the potential election of a far-left candidate.

In a deeply emotional and historically resonant segment, the hosts reflect on the one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. They recount the moment in vivid detail, likening its significance to 9/11 and the JFK assassination. The hosts propose turning the Butler site into a national monument to honor Trump’s survival, the bravery displayed that day, and the life lost. They argue that preserving the site would serve as a powerful reminder of the dangers of political violence and the resilience of American democracy.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcommit everybody to the third hour of the Klay, Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. We'll talk to you a bit
about what's been going on.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
On the immigration front.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Trump continuing to focus on this and put his administration
on a mass deportation footing, which absolutely needs to happen,
something that was discussed all along and promised all along.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Bay we mentioned this, I think because it was just
on Friday. I believe now the day is all blend together.
But there was a federal judge who came out and said,
you meeting immigration and Customs enforcement officers are no longer
able to do whatever it is you're doing to determine

(00:51):
who it is you're stopping and detaining and then trying
to deport. In case anyone was wondering, Tom ho who
was doing such a great job? You know, I had
a friend asked me recently, who's doing a great job
as administration. I was rattling off a bunch of names,
and we were just chatting about politics in life as
one does, and Clay I just I had to kind

(01:12):
of stop and just give a special shout out, you know,
I had to pour some out for my good friend here,
Tom Homan, who's doing an incredible job. And he also,
you'll notice, never backs down and is never uh never cornered.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Nobody puts home in a corner. He's never cornered.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
By these whether it's the judges or the media, or
the Democrats or anything. This is a man on a mission,
and it's a critical mission, one that is necessary for
the salvation of this country as a country. And here
he is speaking about that federal judge who thinks that
she is just in charge of immigration policy.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Holman's having none none of it. Play nine, We litigate
that ortic.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
I think the order is wrong. I mean she's assuming
that the officers don't have reasonable suspicion. You know, they
don't need probable calls to briefly detain and question somebody.
They just need reasonable suspicion. And that's based on many
our typical facts. So unless she's in the officer's mind,
I don't know how she make that decision. Well, they're
not using reasonable suspicion. How does she know that? I

(02:14):
mean every officer has to, you know, bring our typical
facts to raised reasonable suspicion then it can be pre detain.
I don't know how she knows that, but I don't
think any federal judge can dictate immigration policy has to
matter for Congress and for the President, and I know
Department of Justice is going to litigate it, so who
want to take it to the peals court?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Clay.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
It just feels increasingly like some of these federal judges
it doesn't matter to them what Congress says or what
the law actually says. They just try to find ways
to throw a wrench into the gears of this process.
I think increasingly they must recognize, some of them must
recognize that they're going to be overturned, maybe even on appeal,

(02:55):
but certainly if it gets to the Supreme Court level
with some of these orders that they are dropping, that
they are dropping, and it does a lot of damage
to the judiciaries, to the faith that people have in
the judiciary. And I think that it just shows you
how important an issue this is.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I think that a lot of these judges one have
decided that they are the front line of Trump two
point zero resistance, because the Democrat Party by and large
has no opposition to Trump in terms of a figure
or figures that can provide an alternative vision for the
country in a coherent and intelligent way, so they are

(03:34):
to the side. We made fun of this, but it
certainly has basically proven to be the case. There's almost
no in the streets resistance to Trump two point zero.
We talked about the bedraggled, sad anti Trump inauguration parties,
sorry are parties promior to the parties the protests, And
it was cold and it was old people, and they

(03:54):
were like beating drums and they all looked like they
weren't really committed to it. And I know they had
that one was at No King's Day, which is actually
July fourth, ironically enough, but they.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Had no teas known as No Testosterone Day. He saw
the actual protests going on.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
But even that didn't really I mean, I know it
got attention from the media, but it vanished within a
few Actually sounds lame. They're not even good.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
At the at the the rage as like they used
to have better stuff. Like even no one uses hashtags anymore,
so hashtag resistance has served its purpose and is no
longer useful.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
But you know, No King's Day, I don't even know.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
It sounds like a lame holiday in some country that
you don't really want to visit, Like it's just not good.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, and I think what it speaks to is they
defined Trump to the best of their ability as a racist,
white supremacist, and that worked for a couple of years,
because those are awful things for someone to say about you.
But then people started to look through the actual charges
and they said, there's not really anything to support this.

(05:00):
And when you're winning the majority of Latino men in America,
and when your percentage of the black vote sets a
record high since the Civil Rights Movement, it's hard to argue, oh,
this guy is supremely racist, white supremacist. So they moved
to oligarch, they moved to fascist, they moved to all
these words that people don't know as well. And it

(05:20):
hasn't mobilized. And so I think the decision by these
judges is, first, we're going to be the front line
of defense. Second, I think they see it as career
career acceleration, as a way to gain promotions, because if
you are seen as the most fundamentally ardently committed against

(05:42):
the Trump team, they're playing the long game. These guys
and gals have lifetime sinecures. They have jobs that they
can never be fired from. By and large, we don't
impeach judges very often, and so they know, hey, we'll
be the most veriently anti Trump element out here. And
then when the Circuit Court's judge ship comes open, or
or when a Supreme Court justiceship comes open, I'm gonna

(06:07):
put myself higher in the category. And I do think
we should mention this. The perfect distillation of this is
Katanji Brown Jackson. I've read some of the quotes that
she is giving and I couldn't believe it. And I
think you're seeing the other eight members of the Supreme
Court recoil against her because she says, basically, hey, I'm

(06:32):
on the court, it's really important that everybody knows my opinions.
She doesn't mean judicial opinions. She means opinions like what
it should exist in the world. And I flagged a
couple of these quotes and I was reading them again
over the weekend. I say this as someone who went
to law school. What she is arguing for is not judgeships.

(06:53):
If Katanji Brown Jackson wants to run for the Senate,
or she wants to run for governor, or she wants
to run for president of the United States, and she says,
I believe X, Y and Z, and let me tell
you why it's important. Good for her, that's how the
democratic process should work. But we shouldn't have judges, particularly
not judges on the Supreme Court, who are just writing

(07:13):
their political opinions time after time. And I think the
judges on the Supreme Court are fed up with it.
I think you saw it from Amy Coney Barrett where
she basically completely destroyed Katanji Brown Jackson's descent. And I
think increasingly even Sodo Mayor and even Kagan are looking
at Katanji Brown Jackson and saying, you're not a judge,

(07:36):
You're just an activist. And I think there are a
lot of Katanji Brown Jackson's that got elevated during the
Biden term who have nothing and no interest in actually
being judges. They want to be members of the legislature
that are given the app ability to share their actual
personal opinions.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
This is what always places conservative jurisprudence, unfortunately at a
political disadvantage. This has been the case for a long time.
But left wing activist judges know that they are to
use their position to deliver results for the team, and
the law is not supposed to get in the way.
And unfortunately, on the right you have people who will

(08:18):
you have a conservative jurisprudence constitutionalist who feel like, you know,
even if this is a really bad thing for the country,
or even if this is a really immoral outcome, this
is what the law says, based on what the Constitution says,
and that is the way that it is. Katania Brown
Jackson is not even pretending that that's a concern anymore.

(08:40):
She's just my team wants X, so my team should
get X.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
And her team is to left, the Democrats and the
so called living Constitution theory, which is fascinating we think
about it. It doesn't really say what it says. It
kind of says what you wanted to say. Okay, well,
that's fun.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, and I even think she's taken a step beyond Look,
all judges and anybody out there that's been a lawyer
involved in the judiciary process know this on some level
can look at the law and use the law to
get to a result that they want to get to.
That's just the reality. And some judge, you are going
to be more expansionist than the way they look at it.

(09:19):
Some are going to be more reticent. However, you want
to establish what your philosophy is. My concern with her
is she's not even really I mean, this is what
Amy Cony Barrett said in her majority opinion, which the six'
to three, opinion IF i remember, correctly just Ridiculing Katanji Brown.
Jackson she's not even, saying, hey The constitution SAYS. X

(09:43):
and as a, result we have to do why she's
basically and this is REALLY i think, important because it's
happening more and. More she's SAYING i BELIEVE, x and
therefore we have to do. Why that's not being a,
judge that is being a, politician and she's not even it.
Anymore AND i think it's actually somewhat offensive even to

(10:04):
sot Of mayor And, kagan because at least they're trying
to peg their analysis in some. Way kagan Cons i'll
give You kagan on that one a little.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
BIT i Think Soto mayor is IN i think she's
in the same place, ideologically she just hides.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
It a little.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
BETTER i, think like in my, mind and now we're
getting really now we're really nerding. Out kagan sometimes will, say,
look this is what the law, Says i'm a, progressive
and you know it, stinks but this is what the.
Loss it just based on her decisions. Right the way
it comes, Down Soda mayor is. More you, KNOW I
I i hate, this But i'm gonna And i'm gonna
go against, it But i'm gonna try to find some

(10:42):
constitutional grounding for, it Because Townsie Brown jackson is just,
well this is.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Bad so you can't do. This there's no there's no
way around. IT i think she is the least qualified
person to ever be on The Supreme. Court AND i
think that the other judges are looking around and kind
in disbelief that she's. There this Is, look you, lawyers
by and large who end up on The Supreme court

(11:07):
or at high levels of circuit court judged them are super.
Nerds AND i say that. Affectionately they really love practicing,
Law they love reading, opinions they like they get in the,
weeds even if they're. Progressives Like i'll Give Elena kagan
a lot of credit. HERE i think she's super, smart
AND i think if you sat down and talked with,

(11:28):
her you may not agree with her judicial. Philosophy BUT
i think in a faculty lounge At harvard everybody would
SAY i respect her. OPINION i don't think anybody Respects
Katanji Brown jackson's opinion when it comes to the. LAW
i mean actual legal. NERDS i think if, you're you,
know the leader of some far left wing interest, group

(11:48):
you Respect Katanji Brown jackson because she agrees with, You
but she doesn't have the ability or willingness to peg
it to the actual, larger, uh you, know sort of
judicial temperament that we have come to expect for generations
on The Supreme.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
COURT i also think that we've reached a place where
if you are talking about any kind of a political,
issue or you're even a political, PERSON i don't think
you OR I, CLAY i, mean heaven, forbid BUT i
don't think you OR i would be able to get
a fair trial in a court where one of these
even if it was like a civil, thing we don't
have to talk about crazy stuff. Criminal BUT i don't

(12:25):
think we would get a fair hearing from one of
These biden Or obama appointed activist judges that are constantly
slapping Down. TRUMP i just think that it would Go
it would go against us in whatever way the judge
could make it go against. Us and that's a shame
because we've actually lost. Something THE us system has always been,
imperfect but there has been this ideal of it is

(12:47):
about the law and it is not about the preferences
of the individuals who are in the. PROCESS i don't
think that's really Possible clay to make that case the
same way. ANYMORE i think everyone sees it's really. Politics
it's really, politics unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well AND i Think Katanji Brown jackson is the worst
version of that probably that we've ever seen on The Supreme.
COURT i really do mean, that AND i think even
people on the left on The court are starting to
be embarrassed somewhat of the fact that she's just a
politician who happens to be wearing a robe as opposed
to an actual. Judge, look there's a new online hacking
scheme recent college. Grads they're the target cyber thieves trolling

Communist he is The democrat. NOMINEE, Uh Andrew cuomo running

(15:13):
as an, Independent Eric adams running as an, Independent Curtis
sleiwa running as an. Independent What Andrew cuomo is, saying

i know this is just now supposedly publicly coming. OUT.
Uh the reports THAT i saw Were Andrew cuomo has
said everybody else should drop out By september if they're not.

(15:37):
Leading my concern buck Meaning Eric, Adams Curtis, Sleewa Andrew.
Cuomo whichever one of the three of those guys is
in second place the other should drop. Out my concern
IS i see where this is. Going they're all going
to stay, In they're all going to dilute the Anti
Mam donnie vote And mom donn sixty percent Of New

(15:57):
yorkers may vote Against Mam, donni but forty percent stick
With Mam, donnie and the sixty is broken around three different.
Opponents Mam donnie's gonna. Win it seems just incompetent and
almost feels to me Like Andrew cuomo is trying to
hand the race To Mam. Donnie do you buy?

Speaker 1 (16:13):
That Uh, NO i Think cuomo is just a vile
egomaniac and he he will Never he has never thought
about anybody but himself with his political life and is
continuing to do.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
So and if he has.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
To help with the, help, right the epitaph Of New
york as a dynamic and fantastic.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
City which was already started to be clear By.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Deblasio you know That Mam donnie Loves, deblasio, Right and
this is it's the most classic thing those, quotes AND
i could have he, says like the best mayor ever and,
LIKE i, mean it's. Crazy it's if you were creating
in a lab somebody who was equal parts, annoying, disingenuous

(16:59):
and destroys active to the city Of New. YORK i
don't know that you could do better than, this, Mom, donnie,
GUY i really. DON'T i don't think it's possible to.
Find there's the fact the guy who applies as An
African american to get Into columbia like nothing.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Changes this guy is a total.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Charlatan this guy is a total fraud who will say
whatever in the moment for, power for the adoration of idiot.
Crowds and the only upside of THIS i can think
of is, well, one maybe he doesn't, win BUT i.
DON'T i wouldn't bet on that, Too. Clay maybe this is,
finally Maybe New yorkers will realize after, this even the
really dumb ones who will vote for this, guy you

(17:36):
can't be this. Crazy but that means there's going to
be more. SUFFERING i Think New york hasn't suffered, enough
AND i hate saying that out, loud but that's where it.

(18:41):
wireless Buy americans For.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Americans all, right welcome back Into clay And.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Buck as you, know it was the anniversary of The
Butler pennsylvania assassination attempt On Donald, trump a bullet ripping
through his ear on. CAMERA i, REMEMBER i remember those.
Moments you know that where were you when? That people
will think of.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
A lot of.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Times THE jfk assassination nine to eleven is the big
one for our. GENERATION i remember frame by frame aspects
of that morning and what was going. ON i have
a pretty seared into my brain. MEMORY i, know it
wasn't long, ago so it's not that you can't really
test it out quite, yet but pretty seared into my,
brain you, know second by second OF i was at the.

(19:22):
GYM i Texted clay and my family right As i'm watching.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
This i'm at the. Gym it's very.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Loud It's, miami so you, know like the reggaeton music
is pounding AND i can't really you, know hear or
see anything on my, phone AND i just remember looking
down and seeing some of this stuff On it was
On twitter THAT i saw the stuff, initially and you
sent me something AND i walked. Outside there's a little
ledge area where you can get outside and get some fresh,

(19:49):
air AND i remember walked outside AND i, thought oh my,
God President trump is dead for a second BECAUSE i
saw the you, KNOW i, Remember i'm seeing frames of.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
It i'm going.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Around it's a loud, place and so for for, me
it almost felt like A trump. Resurrection when he was
brought off the stage fist. PUMP i thought there was
about a ten or fifteen second period WHERE i Thought oh.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
My, god they've you, know they've.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Taken trump from. Us so it was it was quite a,
day AND i think the country still needs to take
stock of the fact that it was the Ultimate we
dodged a bullet moment in every sense as a country
for A President, trump be, sure but as a country as.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
WELL i think that As i've been on this since
the day after this, happened we were In monday In
milwaukee at THE rnc last, YEAR i think the historical
potency of that image and that reaction and that video

(20:49):
and that moment is going to outlive by far anyone
listening to us. TODAY i think one hundred years from,
now everyone who watches that film will be inspired by
what they. Saw AND i was thinking a lot about
this over the. Weekend some of you may have Seen
President trump was at The World Cup Club final and

(21:13):
he was on the stage With, chelsea which is a
team in The English Premier league In england that won
this Big, basically it's The World cup of pro soccer
teams that was played in The United. States it was
the first inaugural season they'd ever done. It they're gonna
have The World cup here next, year which should be
honestly a lot of, fun AND i Think President trump
will be a big part of. It he was on the.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Stage can you get a you, know can you get
a guy into some games?

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Here?

Speaker 2 (21:39):
BUDDY i THINK i can get. US i THINK i
can get us some tickets to some of Those World cup,
matches and maybe we'll do the. SHOWS i, MEAN i
don't think they've announced where THE us team will play.
EXACTLY i Think i'm correct in that some of you
may may uh may have some, idea but well we
can't know because we don't even know what what groups
everybody's going to be. In but my point on that

(21:59):
is one year. Difference trump on the stage With. CHELSEA
i sent the picture to my seventeen year old and he,
say is This? Ai because it looks so funny if
you haven't seen, it It's trump surrounded by the entire
soccer team delivering the trophy and everybody. Celebrating he's having
a good. Time one year. Apart i've got an idea.
HERE i haven't heard anybody else suggest it That i'm aware.

(22:20):
Of so some of you may hear this and you
may say you're, bonkers you're. Looney maybe? CORRECT i think
they should Make, Butler. Pennsylvania they should make it a national,
park a national. Monument at. MINIMUM i think that they
should make a tro statue Of trump reacting as he

(22:41):
did in that iconic, image AND i think that people
should be able to go, there to that historic location
and celebrate the, courage, bravery heroism Of trump also acknowledged
the loss of life Of Corey, compettore the individual who
was there at that rally and died on that. DAY

(23:01):
i think that it would be profoundly, important not for just,
today but for years to, come for kids to be
able to go to that, site understand what political violence can,
do and understand what bravery can mean in response to.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
It.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
NOW i understand right now a lot of people out
there View trump as a very polarizing. Figure, historically maybe
this will not be, true but, historically when presidents are
no longer in, office they tend to become more, beloved
regardless of their, party regardless, frankly of whether they were
even that. SUCCESSFUL i Think.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Bush is somewhat of an exception to. THAT W, YEAH
i THINK. W i THINK w got substantially less. Popular,
well he was. Good it was rough toward the end
of the. Term two is rough For bush. Period AND
i don't want to divert us from this, discussion But
i'm just saying the longer stuff played out of The Middle,
east the more people were.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Real worse the decision making looked For. BUSH i think
there's some truth to. That but even a guy Like Jimmy,
carter WHO i think most of you would say was
a really bad, president Even Richard nixon who left in disgrace,
resigning by the time he, died there was a sort
of rehabilitation in some ways of his image relative to
how low it, was like.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Me pointing Out dixon was a fantastic anti communist fighting
for the soul of the country against The red, menace
which was very, real despite what The lib media wants
to tell. You SO i fived To nixon on.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
That made a lot of very good, decisions AND i
think presidents of both parties used his council in the
time that he was. Gone my point on this is
some of you may, say, oh there's no way THAT
i actually think, again this is the, nerd the history
nerd in me trying to, think, hey should we PURSU
i live on a, battlefield basically the battlefield Of, franklin

(24:50):
eighteen sixty Four november.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Thirtieth you ever go out there with one of those
metal detector, things try to find some belt buckles or
some fifty cow mini.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Balls every now and then people still find cannon balls
and all this. Stuff like near WHERE i, live they
didn't do a good job preserving the. Battle the battlefield
itself has basically been overtaken by the growth of the.
City there's not a ton of physical location of the battlefield.
Left whereas you go to a place Like, gettysburg or

(25:20):
you go to a place Like, Shiloh i've been too
all of. Them you go to Some civil War battlefield's
partly it's because there's still somewhat rural okay understood in
a city Like nashville Or atlanta where there were Battles,
richmond and a lot of growth has occurred since that's.
Natural BUT i think that we should preserve this physical,
location AND i think we should turn it into some

(25:41):
form of national monument to oppose political violence and also
simultaneously celebrate the bravery that we saw that. DAY i
think that's a historically resonant idea that should take. Root
AND i haven't heard anybody talk about. It So i'm
gonna pop it out on social. Media i'm saying it
obviously on this. Show AND i think a lot of people, say,

(26:02):
oh you're crazy because they're caught much as much as the.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Moment it's, disappointing disappointing that you have not given me
an opportunity to say that you are. CRAZY i was
looking forward to. It i'm a little bummed right. Now,
NO i think that's a VERY i think that's an excellent.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
IDEA i think it's very.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
VALID i think that What trump did was one of
the most, iconic, visually, emotionally, psychologically one of the most
iconic moments In american politics, period and a positive, one,
RIGHT i, mean, yeah, YES i think it's. Tough you,
know nine to eleven is seered into the you, know
the center cortex of our. Brains, fine obviously a horrific.

(26:40):
Day trump surviving that day and dealing with it the
way that he. Did and, look let's hear this is
What President trump said about. This this is cut. Twelve
he said it out. Loud he really believes, it that
he thinks he was saved to save the. Country place.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
Twelve, WELL i went through a. Lot it was a crazy,
time very. Surreal, actually if you want another truth Is
i've got this massive crowd of people and all of
a sudden you hear and you feel something that's very.
Unusual AND i got down quickly AND i was you,
know people are, screaming get, down get. Down it was
a whole the whole thing was just. Crazy and it's

(27:18):
hard to believe a year is up and here we.
Are a lot of things have happened since, then including the.
Presidency so you, KNOW i have an obligation to do
a good. JOB i feel BECAUSE i was really. SAVED
i was really saved by somebody very. Special but NOW
i owe a lot AND i THINK i hope the
REASON i was saved was to save our.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
COUNTRY i hope that he is, right AND i think
he's done an incredible. Job AND i would just point
out about the national monument national location there In. Butler,
look our studio In, washington D. C is just down
the block From Ford's, theater AND i believe it's The
Peterson house across the street Where lincoln was taken and

(28:02):
died in that. House there are historic sites that are
unfortunately tied to one of the worst moments in the
history Of, america and it's right. Right we shouldn't have
torn down for its. Theater we shouldn't have torn down
the house across the. Street it's important to understand what
happened to the nation and what evil can do sometimes

(28:23):
to triumph over for the short term the president of
The United, states and the difficulty of the nation of
healing and all these. THINGS i think that it is,
Again i'm thinking fifty one hundred years into the. FUTURE
i don't want That Butler pa site to get developed
in something else to. HAPPEN i think it should turn
into a national. Monument AND i don't know that there's

(28:44):
very many places THAT i would point to that exist
historically THAT i think are going to be this residant
years to. COME i mentioned WHEN i went To, israel
WHEN i went to The Nova Music, festival we walked around.
THERE i feel like that site is likely hundreds of
years from now to still exist as a memorial against religious,

(29:05):
intolerance and the idea that you would slaughter people because
they happen to live in a country or support a
religion that's different than yours is fundamentally. WRONG i think
the idea That trump there would that someone would have
tried to kill, him and then we came within a
quarter of an. INCH i watched a lot of those
displays again of just the fact that he turned to
look at That Ron johnson, Graphic Senator Ron johnson Of wisconsin.

(29:27):
Gay but for that graphic being on the screen behind,
Him trump will be dead right now and our nation
will be in a very different. Place AND i think
that's a conversation it's important to. HAVE i think it's
one that's important to have in the decades to come
for kids that didn't live through.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
It AND i think when there's when the heat is
getting turned up AND i understand why people have been
upset and feel very passionately lately about about, things it
is worth noting the country could have been plunged into
THE abyss one year.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Ago, yes in a, WAY i.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Mean whole, country, Right i'm talking big, stuff, historical you,
know epic changing kind of stuff in a bad. Way
and we we should take stock of our blessings. Too
there's a lot of stuff that is going very well
right now in the. Country President trump is. President just

(30:20):
take this for a. Moment Kamala harris could have been
the president of The United states it wasn't that far.
Off think about what would be going on right. Now,
okay so it's and think about how the country is
feeling If kamala becomes president Because trump was assassinated during
the campaign and whoever you know took his place for

(30:41):
whatever reason wasn't able to you, know no one would
accept that as, oh this is the will of The american, people,
Right so, yeah we. SHOULD i just think it's important
to take take a moment in time to say to
yourself that the country was saved and That trump views
himself as having been saved to help the. Country think

(31:05):
about this book as we go to.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Break what would the nation's reaction have been if they
Assassinated trump and then On november fifth they told You
Kamala harris won the. Election that's WHAT i. Mean, YEAH
i mean on that, NIGHT i think there would have Been.
MATT i, MEAN i cannot impress upon you enough how

(31:29):
incredibly important from a historic, perspective it was That trump
turned his head at that last. Instant and you can
attribute it to, providence you can attribute it to the
good fortune that this nation has traditionally. Embraced there's a
lot of different things you can point to providence sometimes
is tough because people will, say, Well Corey competoi, died
SO i, KNOW i.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Know BUT i think even the atheists at THE Rnc
clay when we were, there not that there are many
of them in THE, rnc BUT i think even people
that question these things felt like there was more than
what we know involved in Saving trump's life that, day
and we. Were we were saved along with it in

(32:11):
a very, important very powerful.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Way all. Right one of the.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Highest priorities of The trump administration is improving our. Economy of,
course the bill passed by The senate and signed into
law By President trump On july fourth is just one
part of the. Plan however successful they, are it's impossible
for them to consider your own personal. Finances that's on.
You one way to accomplish, this one way to take
action today to protect, yourself to diversify to make smart

The All Star. Game encourage you to go download the.

(34:03):
Podcast thank, you by the, way we got to spend
more time on, this but thousands of you went and
signed up for The clay And buck YouTube page after
we talked about the fact that we want to get
that over one hundred thousand. Subscribers we're now over eighty thousand.
Subscribers you can search Out clay And. Buck also go
Subscribe crocketcoffee dot. COM i signed a bunch of. BOOKS
i don't know if they have that on video during

(34:24):
one of the commercial, breaks because a bunch of you
have been signing up AND i want you to be
able to get those autograph. COPIES i wanted to respond
here on one email BECAUSE i do think it's somewhat,
interesting and it was somebody saying this Is. Chris he said.

(34:47):
Seven up until, Now trump has had ample operaties On.
Epstein up until, Now trump has Had apple opportunity to fix,
it but he's refused To seventy percent of people you
polled feel That, Trump, Bond, patel And bongina, lied and
for you to come on the air and say otherwise
is stupid and demonstrates you're not on the same page

(35:07):
as your. AUDIENCE i do think this is somewhat an
interesting point. HERE i don't think that my job Or
buck's job is to tell you that we agree with
you on every single. Topic on every single, issue thirty
percent according to that, poll maybe larger in this radio
audience agree with. ME i don't think That trump could
Tell bondi And bongeo are. Lying you're welcome to believe.

(35:31):
It it doesn't mean you're a bad. Person BUT i don't
think our job should be to reflect whatever the majority
of people in this audience, say because sometimes we're going to.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Disagree i'd also say, THIS i don't say anything on
this show about anyone THAT i wouldn't say to their.
Face And i'll tell you, THIS i would not look
At dan Or cash in the eye and, SAY i
think you're lying to The american. People So i'm not
going to say that on this show BECAUSE i don't believe. It,
Yeah AND i also think that some people who are
taking this opportunity to really Kick dan And cash in the,

(36:03):
ribs particularly Kick cash And dan and The ribs, rather
are doing so not because they care about, transparency but
because they view him as a competitor and in the media,
space even though he's working in. Government SO i think
that that's, dirty and we don't play dirty. Here we
care about the. Country, honestly you know who the buck
stops with with all This President.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
TRUMP.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
YEP i also don't Think President trump is a, Liar
so people are welcome to, disagree but at the end
of the, day It's trump's, call and tomorrow we're going
to talk about what's going on in the. News, everybody
and we appreciate you being with, us and we love
even the ones who are yelling at us all.
