Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. Monday edition of Clay and Buck gets going
right now. Appreciate you being with us so much to
break down for you, and I can assure you there
will be more drama during this show than there was
between the Eagles and the Chiefs last night. More excite,
a whole game play. I watched the whole game. I
(00:21):
brought a bunch of Post friends over and thankfully they
were very entertaining because the game was not And I
don't care that everybody was saying the same thing. Who
was of sound mind and judgment? It is, in fact
the case that that was the worst halftime Super Bowl
show I've ever seen in my entire life. It was,
I can remember. It was beyond atrocious. It was some
(00:45):
people are saying the worst ever, and so we shall
discuss a bit of this. I will say, my beloved Eagles, well,
I have been rooting for ever since Clay said that
he picked the Chiefs. So several days, several days, my
beloved Eagles came through. So those of you, I bet
our audience is probably five to one Chiefs versus Eagles fans.
That would be my what do you think? Not it? Totally?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I don't know good question, because they're both very regional,
but the Eagles are a much bigger franchise, like in
terms of a lot more people have lived in the
Philly area than have lived in the Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You get the whole Eastern You probably get the whole
Eastern seaboard, which is a lot of population, right, A
lot of people. I mean, I think if you're a
Jet I don't know if you're if you're a Jets
or a Giants fan, do you adopt the Eagles when
they're in the old not? No, no, sorry, sorry. They
hate each other.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There are a lot of angry Giants fans, Cowboy fans,
Washington fans. They want Philly to lose. They hate them.
And interesting, this was kind of the hater super Bowl
because Philly fans don't have a lot of national uh
like for for lack of a better way to put it.
And I think a lot of people where have been
(02:01):
burned out on Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift and
the Chiefs as they've won three Super Bowls in the
past few years. I do think there's a for a
lot of people, you know, I think that maybe it
breaks down along the lines of there are there are
dynasty people and they're underdog people.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know, there are people that love a dynasty. You know,
I knew New Yorkers who had the gall during the
nineties to be big Chicago Bulls fans. You know, it's like,
how dare you, sir? How dare you? And the other
people that always want the scrappy underdogs. I feel like
the Eagles felt more like the underdogs again from my
seventy two hours or so of Super Bowl research, and yeah,
(02:39):
it was it was. It was quite It was quite
good to see them come through. So Clay will give
you more actual analysis on the Super Bowl and things
like that as we go through the show, and we'll
discuss all of that. But you know, Trump was first off,
let's start with this because this is a politics show.
Trump was cheered loudly. Trump was at the Super Bowl.
Everybody Clay who was watching the game at my place
(03:01):
here in South Beach, had the same reaction to he's
really the first president to ever go to a super Bowl.
It was kind of hard to believe. I just had
assumed there would have been other presidents. First presidents ever
go to Super Bowl. He walks, or rather, there's him.
I mean, he walked in with a lot of security
and stuff, but there's him on the screen and giving
(03:21):
everybody a wave. And this is Donald Trump shown during
the national anthem? Cut ten, play it broadstraight.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And Wright star to the pan, let us fine.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
All the rest. So I feel like a very positive reception. Play.
We're going to dive into the numbers here in a second.
We're not tired of winning, but there's a lot of
winning going on right now. But for you sports sports
officionado an expert, what was it like to see a
(04:02):
president getting that applause first time ever at the Super Bowl? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So, I don't know how many people noticed it. Did
you notice when they showed him during the national anthem?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Buck?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Did you hear the line they specifically chose to show
him on the word fight because of the fight fight
fight reaction. I don't know how many people know that
it's superscripted every shot in the Super Bowl like that.
They went to Trump in the box. Can we replay that?
Because I haven't seen anybody else pointed out I know
(04:34):
this to be true. Listen one more time. When you
start to hear when that camera goes to Trump, I
haven't seen anybody else point this out.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Listen, Bras Strakes and bright Star.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Fine.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now again they were intentionally evoking Trump standing and saying fight,
fight fight right after the assassination attempt by showing him
during that particular line of the anthem. Again, I haven't
seen anybody else point this out, but I thought that
was really well done. And it's why Buck, when I
came on, remember when ESPN missed the national anthem and
(05:20):
the moment of silence and all those things. The Super
Bowl is scripted down to the shot that will be
used in incredible detail. So when ESPN said, oh, we
just had a commercial break that happened to overlap, it's
like no, no, no, no, no, no. Big games are
down to the minute, down to the second. Controlled For instance,
(05:43):
they have eight minutes of Trump with Brett Bayer. Basically
that's how long the president gets in the run up.
Trump wanted an hour. He said I'll talk to him
for an hour. They were like no, no, no, no, you
get eight minutes. To his credit, he did it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Buck.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
The cheering, I think is a vibeve the CBS poll
that came out that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We're going to play that in a second. Yeah, the
CBS poll is looking very good for him.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Sixty percent mail approval. I don't remember the last time
I saw a president with sixty percent mail approval. And
you had Eagle fans, and you had Chiefs fans, buck
and they were overwhelmingly cheering players. Chris Jones, best defensive
player from the Chiefs. When Trump came onto the field,
he's a diehard Trump guy. Wanted to go shake his hand.
(06:27):
You had Patrick Mahomes's family come into the suite to
pose for photos. Mahomes is a big Trump guy. The
anti Trump sports era, which I lived through, is over.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It is over, I believe in a big way.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Athletes, coaches, executives they voted Trump over Kamala and they're
not pretending otherwise anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That was the best part of the whole thing. M
clay just said. I will point out the game unless
you're an Eagles fan who just wanted to see your
team destroy the other team, which I'm sure a lot
of them did, the game was boring. I mean, the
halftime show was so bad that Trump should sign an
executive order banning Kendrick Lamar from ever doing any halftime
show ever for all eternity.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's the worst halftime show I've ever seen. I tweeted
that people are mad at me for saying it. I've
been getting ripped, but I'm sorry, and I like rap.
I mean, I thought that Snoop Dogg Eminem that show
that was in LA a couple of years ago. This
was truly atrocious.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And the commercials were crappy, awful, and the commercial showing
what was that The NFL ran a commercial showing women
beating men in football. Stop insulting us. It's annoying. Okay,
it's annoying, Like I don't know why they have to
keep doing the thing of like girl power, Like girls
are just as strong and fast as guys. They're not.
It's annoying. Stop it, Okay, the guys on that field anyway,
(07:49):
we don't have to get It's not even we're talking about.
It's just like this childish fantasy that the left the
Democrats still like to push. So let's get into now. Clay,
by the way, you're right at the totality of the
shift culturally and sports specific with Trump there last night.
That was incredible, and that was the most noteworthy thing
other than the win for the Eagles, of the whole night.
(08:10):
I think everything else was kind of really lacking the
vibe shift Buck.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
CNN reached out to me for comments on how significant
it was that Trump was at the game for their
articles I haven't gotten I've been banned.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Since you need to respond and say, am I still banned?
Question Mark? That should be your only response. Am I
still banned? CNN? By the way, I bet you're not.
I bet you're not. That was a Zucker thing. You're
not banned anymore. I bet. I mean, I know you
can't go on because of Fox, but you could, you
know they would put your quotes and stuff up there. Okay,
let's get to Mark, because you know we got we
also got Elon, we got big balls, we got a
(08:46):
million things. We got to dive into. Margaret Brennan having
to spit out the words, looking so sour as she
says it, pointing out that CBS Director of Elections has
polling data showing Trump's approval rating currently the best it
has ever been.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Cut one our CBS poll finds and a majority of
Americans fifty three percent approve of the job he's doing.
That's a better approval number than he ever reached during
his first term in the White House.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
What's driving this. I will keep it simple, Margaret.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
He is doing, in the eyes of the public, what
he said he would do in the campaign.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
There's political value in that.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
In fact, seventy percent of people say he's doing what
he promised.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's whether they approve of him or not.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
The idea of deporting those in the country illegally continues
to be popular. We saw that in the campaign sending
troops to the US Mexico border, again majority in favor.
We've seen that in the campaign for his supporters, in particular,
the focus on ending DEI is popular.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Clay. It's not only Trump running up the scoreboard with
all this executive orders and all these things. The media
doesn't know what to do because the American people are
with him. The old tricks, the old Trumper, none of
that stuff is working.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, and it's not only where the fact that Trump
has support I mentioned that men in that CBS poll
sixty forty. I don't remember the last time that a
president had sixty percent approval among male voters. I mentioned
this before. I know it wasn't a Democrat. You know,
the last Democrat presidential candidate to win a majority of
(10:24):
male voters Lyndon Johnson nineteen sixty four, Like, that is
crazy to think about how much of a female dominated
party the Democrat Party has become. And Buck, it's not
only men plus twenty. You know what else really jumped
out at me? Under thirty voters Trump plus ten. This
(10:46):
is I think indicative of why the culture and the
vibe shift feels so real because much of the resistance
was driven by young women in the twenty seventeen Trump era.
And then also, you know this because you lived in
New York City, some young men tried to pretend that
they weren't Trump people because they wanted pretty girls to
(11:07):
be able to date them. This is a thing. I
think what's happened now is young men have gone all
in for Trump, and now pretty girls want guys to
like them, and pretty girls are now starting to come
on the maga train too. In other words, the sex
dynamic has flipped. And I think a big reason why
this is my big picture analysis, the abortion scare mongering.
(11:31):
It doesn't work anymore because most people are like, yeah,
my life hasn't really changed very much since Roe v.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Wade got overturned. I knew we would get here. It
took a little longer than I thought in terms of
we had to go through one midterm cycle first. But
this is the reality of it, which is that blue
states have kept the laws that they want on this
Red states have changed the laws, and then you have
some other places where things are more in flux. But
it isn't that that the abortion Remember the woman who's like, well,
(11:59):
I was at I was at the liquor store and
some kin that's the greatest joint, and I bought champagne
because Kamala is gonna win, don't you know. I'm a
political analyst.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That was That might've been my favorite thing of the
entire We need to we need to bring that back
every now is just to have some fun with it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I'm a political analyst, and the voices of women across
America will be heard. Trump just smoked Kamala Harris, seven
seven swing states all went his way, and I still think, Clay,
there's what I what I love here is the basic
strategy is to push and keep going as fast and
as many places as Trump and Elon and the cabinet
(12:41):
and the team around them ken because the Democrats are
in disarray. The Democrat this is not an orderly retreat
we are seeing after the twenty twenty four election. This
is a route. This is the Democrats running for the hills,
running for cover, and the Republican cavalry with Trump at
the front, running up, running up the scoreboard in a
big way. Look, you know, yesterday we had a little
(13:02):
bit of barbecue here and it was quite good. But
I'll tell you something, I was thinking about making some steaks, Clay.
I'm a big red meat guy. I like cooking steaks.
I'm all about it, and I know top quality. I
know what i'm doing, I know my way around a
cast iron. Our next sponsor here, Good Ranchers, is phenomenal.
They're so good that I would actually invite my brothers
(13:25):
over these days for steak night at my place over
the best steakhouse that we go to in South Beach,
because the quality of the meat is as good or better.
And they're talking about charging, you know, eighty dollars for
a filet minon, I mean, crazy stuff at that steakhouse.
Go see Good Ranchers and see what they've got. The
chicken is phenomenal, which you know, and a lot of
(13:46):
people's like, oh, you know, it's chicken. How much? No no, no, no,
this chicken is incredible, and I'm going to tell you
this right now. They have the best. You've tried the nuggets,
right My.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Boys love the nuggets, you know, kids, sometimes chicken nuggets
is a staple. This egg said you mentioned, I absolutely love.
I was blown away how good the quality of the
steak is and the chicken nuggets carriers laughing at me.
I have two giant bags of their chicken nuggets in
my freezer because I go through them so quickly.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No seed oil and gluten free. My friends, you will
a lot of chicken nuggets taste good, but they got
some trash in there. Good Ranchers none of that stuff.
I'm talking about the top quality steaks. They've got Pacific cod,
king salmon, shrimp for your proteins. You want to go
with Good Ranchers, it's My freezer is full of Good
Ranchers right now. And Carrie and I cook a lot.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Welcome back in short segment here, let me give you
a little bit of an idea. We were talking about
the Super Bowl, Buck, I will say, incredibly interesting to
me that Trump was cheered and that Taylor Swift was booed.
Now part of that is Eagle fans who do not
(15:57):
like Taylor Swift because her boyfriend travel As Kelsey plays
on the Chiefs. I also think this is a little
bit indicative of the continued vibe shift, however, which is
Taylor Swift's audience overwhelmingly young and female, and the audience
in the Super Bowl in general is substantially male. And
(16:18):
I think a lot of people feel like the whole
Taylor Swift Super Bowl angle has been way overplayed, and
so when they put her on the screen and they've
continued to do it. It's been two years now, there
was talk that maybe Travis Kelsey was going to retire
and propose to her on the field. Goodness, can you imagine.
I think most football fans are just kind of over it,
(16:39):
if that makes sense. And I did think that juxtaposition,
which Trump certainly drew attention to, was interesting because remember
buck Philadelphia is a very blue area, right, so the Eagles,
in theory are not necessarily the fan base, in other words,
not like Dallas was playing against Kansas City or that
(17:01):
kind of setup where you'll be like, okay, much of
the state is super red. I know Trump one Pennsylvania
was very close, but I would say Chiefs fans are
more likely to be Trump people than Eagles, and I
just thought that juxtaposition was very interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yes, absolutely so, Clay. I think we're gonna take everybody
here from footballs to big balls and talk about the
because after the show, the now, the the the member
of the Doge team known to the public now as
big balls. I'm just reporting, I'm reporting what's being reported. Okay,
(17:37):
don't don't. We can't get you know, in the school.
The school marm email to us, like, why are you
talking about big balls? Because the whole media is doge
elon hashtag resistance Judges sort of making a return. We're
going to dive into the fight against the deep state
here in just a second.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I'm back busy week in New Orleans. I leave again tomorrow.
I've got to go up to Chicago. You might even
be able to hear a little bit in my voice
that I'm a little bit under the weather after all
the running around like crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I got a little bit of a cold.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But Buck was talking about the fact that he's all
in on chalk and you can be too, if you
need energy, if you want to get hooked up. Buck
has been trying to get himself back in shape and
time for the baby, and additional energy can make a
huge difference. In fact, the Chalkmail Vitality Stack can replenish

we aren't talking about a lot going on in DC
right now and the fight against the deep state, a
bunch of judges putting universal injunctions against Trump moves. We're
going to dive into this, but first the media fascinated
with one member of Doze, in particular, the fellow known
(19:11):
as well Play. Two good evening, thanks for joining us.
We begin tonight with Musk and Big Balls, Big Balls.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Big Balls, a nineteen year old that goes by the
username big Ball.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Big Balls who work for Elon mus so called Department
of Government Efficiency Doze.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
The Big Balls Kid, a literal teenager.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Big balls, big balls here, So that would be one
way that we could refer to him.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Young computer Whizzz, the aforementioned big balls, because who among.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Us doesn't feel better about big.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Balls, big balls, big balls, big b A l ls.
That's what he calls himself in charge of American air
traffic Control.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now they are saying it. First of all, he's not
in charge of American air traffic control. But put that aside.
The lies. Now, what you're seeing is they don't actually
have arguments against a lot of this stuff, So they're
just gonna lie about everything, and we'll start to pull apart,
pick apart some of the those lies here momentarily. But
they think it reminds me a little bit of clay
of Trump running in twenty sixteen. They think talking about
(20:07):
this is mockery that will turn people against the Doge team.
They don't understand that that vibe shift, as we have discussed,
where the culture is increasingly with Trump, with Elon, with this,
this team of mavericks, if you will, this sort of
a non traditional look at the government waste and abuse.
(20:29):
Because here's an example of what Elon Doge and Big Yes,
mister big Balls are looking at Elon tweeted this out.
Doge canceled a seventeen million dollar project by the US
government to provide tax policy advice to Liberia. We're sending
twenty seventeen million, but you know, seventeen million dollars to
(20:54):
Liberia to help them with tax Do we think anyone
is actually helped by this advice? I mean, if they
have the Internet and Iberia, can't they look up tax
advice there? Why are we doing this? It's we're just
in a set in a place where the deep state,
the forever government, the bureaucracy, lights money on fire with
impunity and thinks that they're the good guys for doing it. Clay,
(21:17):
The New York Times has forty million dollars of subscriptions, yes,
by by government. You want to know how these how
the left wing? Why is it that we have like
a few things in conservative media, which by the way,
are very profitable, right, like you know, you talk about
talk radio, Fox News, like these are businesses that have
(21:37):
sustained themselves, you know, or like we all know, right,
I mean, this is this is capitalism working. And yet
on the left, it's like NPR, ABC News, CBS News, NBC.
You go through all these things. Well, if you can
get government employees by the hundreds of thousands to have
the government's money paying for your subscription, that's a pretty
big advantage, don't you think it's.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
It's monstrously huge. And I just I'm maybe I'm just out.
I was stunned by this. And I come from the
media universe, Buck, where I've had to do AD sales.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It is so hard to do a million dollars in
AD revenue. I mean a lot of.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Your local shows that you are listening to in conjunction
with this show Premiere, a lot of your local affiliate shows.
They will bust their ass to get a million dollars
in total revenue in all of these different local markets
all over the country. I remember Buck both selling individual
ads to fund out Kick.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But I also remember the local sports talk.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Radio show that I did when we hit one and
a half million dollars in AD revenue, Like we were
super excited about how successful that show had been.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
That's a successful business. That's a hard milestone. Look, I
remember the first five thousand dollars of AD revenue I
sold on a pot on my podcast, like fourteen years ago.
I was, yeah, five grand I went out and did
all of these pitches and everything else. And I understand
most people don't really know the media business, but to
have tens of millions of dollars of mine and your
(23:13):
taxpayer money going to subsidized left wing content is bonkers.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And I just want to hit you with this. Think
about it. I think this is a talking point that
should be slammed home more frequently. How would the media
cover it if there were a twenty thousand dollars a
year Fox News product that all of the Trump administration
was paying tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars
(23:41):
a year to support. Because people out there are like,
well that's just what Politico pro cost twenty thousand dollars
a year.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'm sorry like that. I never paid twenty grand a
year for anything as a subscription in my life. I
have no idea. This is insane.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Clear the subscription my first house was seventy thousand dollars.
I mean, like, the idea that you would pay twenty
k to get a freaking email password for an article
is bonkers to me.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Also, why is that a legitimate expenditure of Because what
they say is like, yeah, that's just the price. And
you know, we know that. Here's the thing, everybody, their
arguments are trash. The people that are trying to argue
against what Elon and the Trump administration are doing right now,
their arguments are garbage. So they're just going to start now.
They're talking about Elon has access to too much personal information.
(24:28):
Elon works on rocket ships and has a TS clearance
and is better at what's going on and has more
influence on what's happening in outer space than NASA by
a factor of one hundred. Okay, it's not even close
that Elon can't be trusted. Elon was an original founder
at PayPal, where they had access to everyone's banking information.
(24:49):
I mean, this guy's track record of not giving a
you know what about random people's Social Security numbers and
like personal data. Their arguments against what he's doing are
in insane. These are arguments for people that don't live
in reality. And it's because when we look at this Clay,
you say, hold on, why is the governments why if
(25:09):
you're sitting in the in the commerce department, why are
taxpayer dollars via commerce paying for your New York Times subscription? Yes,
pay for your own damn New York Times subscription? What
is this? I would look, I pay for all my subscriptions.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Now I don't work for the government, but I would
be embarrassed to ask iHeart to pay for my d
You I've.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Never had an employer pay for a newspaper subscription. That's
that's on me. Wouldn't you be embarrassed to even ask? Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And I would feel the same way about asking Fox
to pay for my subscriptions to you know, Washington Post or.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Or whatever else. Why Why shouldn't all these bureaucrats have
the federal government paying for their cable bill?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
There's news channels, Yeah, I just I, And so I
can't even imagine the thought process. You're just using the
government like a trough of cash to be signing up
for these things. Like I just I would be humiliated
and embarrassed if I worked at a government office. And
for people to try to defend this again, I'm looking
(26:12):
at it from the perspective of someone who has done
media and had to do ad sales. It's hard to
get a million dollars when we're talking about tens of
millions of dollars going to these companies. That's not very
different from all of these left wing organizations basically paying
and subsidizing all the reporting that they want to go
(26:33):
after their adversaries. It's like they're retaining their own independent
news media, and independent is in a quote quotation mark
because they want them to throw And this is so important,
Buck and I feel like we could do a whole
show on this, the laundering of stories through the media
to then justify using them to attack your political opponents. Look,
(26:57):
if Chuck Schumer wants to argue that Pete hagg Seth
doesn't deserve to be Defense Secretary, and he wants to
leigh out the reasons why that's at least above board.
And I'm just using Chuck Schumer because he's a Senate
majority or a Senate minority leader. If he gets Pro
Publica or the Washington Post or the New York Times
(27:17):
to publish an attack piece so that he can then
use it to try to argue against Pete hag Seth,
that's dishonest. It's laundering dirty information through your media allies
and then claiming that these independent journalists have just raised
this story. It's so dirty, and it's actually the foundation
(27:37):
of American politics right now.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Well, it's also Russia collusion. Right. The whole Russia collusion
thing was you hit people in the FBI as sources
for the media, and then the FBI people for warrants
for Faiza, which I remember when I when I'm a
CIA and like anything that had to do with FIA's
information was treated as, oh, this is a very powerful tool,
(28:01):
and everyone has to be very you know, above board,
and it's all audit and everything else. The FBI feeds
the media stories to attack the people they don't like
in politics, and then the FBI in official documents goes, well,
look at what they said at the Associated Press. I'm
gonna cite that for the warrant. I mean, the whole thing,
like I say, is the is the ultimate self licking
(28:22):
ice cream cone. And for anyone who's by the way,
we're gonna have to their their arguments against this are
all garbage, and so it's just going to be just
constant lies, constant misdirection. They cannot take these things on
to say, for example, that they do not believe that
this money matters because it's not enough. It every dollar
(28:46):
when you file your taxes, does every dollar matter? Oh,
you're darn right. It is you and I have talked
about this. I got a demand for like an extra
one hundred bucks one year, and I wasn't making much
money at the time from the irs. Every dollar matter
is when it comes to the government taking money from you.
Every dollar doesn't count. When it comes to what the
government is spending. That's outrageous, that's unacceptable. And it goes
to the mentality that has become pervasive in DC, which
(29:09):
is that the government is here forever. You know, the
Republicans can elect some clown here or there to be
quote president and have a cabinet, but really the government
governs no matter what clay. That has to stop that
mentality is what we are fighting.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, and I mean in your own family, if you
found out that you were paying twenty percent of your
bills for fraudulent not what you were paying for aspects
of your life, would you be like, well, it's only
twenty percent, or would you acknowledge, Hey, this is significant.
(29:45):
I mean you just talked to me, just talked about
the fact buck you're getting in shape with the baby coming.
It's like saying, well, for anybody out there that's one
hundred pounds overweight, well, it's only five pounds. Well, you
can't address the corpus of your overweight aspect unless you
start somewhere right. I mean, I just I fundamentally reject
the idea of, oh, it's only two percent of spending. Oh,
(30:08):
it's only four percent of spending. If it's wasted money
and it's our money and it's fraud, why in the
world should we just pretend that it's okay or acceptable
to have any element of fraud commended in our tax spending.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The mentality of a weight loss and fitness journey to
the degree I'm able to speak about this, uh to
maybe eventually I'll put some progress picks online. You guys
will be impressed. Progress has been good. But the from
from that perspective and the government spending issue, uh, it
really is about how you treat everything and what you're
(30:44):
willing to address and do you have a sense of
what is going on? Meaning do even do you even
know what's happening? Do you even know who's getting this money?
Do you even know how much money is being spent?
Do you even know what's happening to the money that
we're giving to the people that are supposed to be
spending it? Same thing with how many steps a day
are you getting, how many calories are you eading, how
(31:05):
much protein are you getting? Like, if you don't know
these things, you can't fix it. And I know it's
taking you know, individual diet and taking it to the
multi trillion dollar federal government. But the basic principles are
the same, and I think Elon would agree with that,
by the way, which is why when he says they're
now going to go and I mean, they're auditing a
whole range of federal institutions and they're gonna go audit
(31:27):
social Security. What are the Democrats saying he wants to
take away your social Security? No, that is a lie.
Elon just wants to not have Social Security writing one
hundred billion dollars of fraudulent government taxpayer checks a year.
How about that? Who's who's not on board with that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And again I think it's really important to wo we
come back. Do you see Mark Cuban, who's now upset
at at Elon and Trump and everybody. You're not gonna
be surprised, buck, do you know what he did just
a few years ago, Say, thirty percent of the government's
probably fraudum waste, And we should cut it and now
because he voted for Kamala, he suddenly come back around.
(32:06):
The guy's brain's broken. We'll play some audio with you
of that. Unfortunately, Buck, we have lost. You and I
big losers on our prize picks picks. We won the
free square. That's good because it's impossible. I did say
the Eagles would win. We did, unfortunately, put no money
on that though. So but Juju Smith Schuster by a
(32:30):
half point went over his receiving yards and then Saquon
didn't score. He got close, had a couple of close opportunities,
he didn't get into the end zone. And Travis Kelcey
was a no show in the first half. So we lost.
We lost. We took it on the chin. We kind
of got smoked, but we smoked. In fact, you would
(32:50):

Welcome back in.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Senator Ron Johnson texting me during the show, fired up
about the budget.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
We're gonna get him on this week. Ali. He wants
to come on and tell us all about this.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
But he says, kind of summing up the the what
we need to do in the budget in general, if
we use the projected Trump last budget, that is twenty
twenty one plus Biden's projected twenty twenty five spending for
Social Security, Medicare, and interest, you would be down to
a six point one trillion dollar budget that would dramatically
(34:19):
reduce the deficit, may even balance it. Says, it's eminently
reasonable and entirely doable. It takes discipline and leadership, and
he is pushing it hard. And again, I just continue
to point this out because I think many people have
lost their way, and thank you for Senator Johnson for
(34:39):
listening and sharing this. We let spending take off during COVID,
and we then have allowed it to become embedded instead
of For instance, Buck I toured the World War II
Museum again down in New Orleans. You know, it's amazing place,
absolutely incredible time. Encourage all of you to go check
(35:01):
it out. But if you go look at the federal budget.
Our budget skyrocketed during World War II because we had
to build all of the weaponry to beat the Nazis
and Imperial Japan. But as soon as we won the war,
our budget returned to some form of normalcy. We didn't
continue with the same budgetary plans going forward. We said, Okay,
(35:24):
we won the war, let's dial back our overall federal spending.
What Democrats are trying to do is they're trying to
say COVID's the new normal. We use that as an
excuse to blow out budget deficits and spending, and then
we want to embed that as the new basis of
starting point for our government. We've got to reject that.
(35:47):
We really have to go back to some form of
fiscal restraint to help make up for the fact of
what we spent during COVID. So Senator Ron Johnson'll come
on and lay this out in more details.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
We've also got Crockett Coffee T shirt on here, which
is a hard turn, but it's also a great turn
because Crockett Coffee is what I'm going to go get

of all, doesn't taste as good as Crockett. But even

the T shirts are also fantastic. I was out on
(36:42):
the gun range this weekend with my Crockett Trucker hat
on which almost fit my giant head Clay almost
Welcome everybody. Monday edition of Clay and Buck gets going
right now. Appreciate you being with us so much to
break down for you, and I can assure you there
will be more drama during this show than there was
between the Eagles and the Chiefs last night. More excite,
a whole game play. I watched the whole game. I
(00:21):
brought a bunch of Post friends over and thankfully they
were very entertaining because the game was not And I
don't care that everybody was saying the same thing. Who
was of sound mind and judgment? It is, in fact
the case that that was the worst halftime Super Bowl
show I've ever seen in my entire life. It was,
I can remember. It was beyond atrocious. It was some
(00:45):
people are saying the worst ever, and so we shall
discuss a bit of this. I will say, my beloved Eagles, well,
I have been rooting for ever since Clay said that
he picked the Chiefs. So several days, several days, my
beloved Eagles came through. So those of you, I bet
our audience is probably five to one Chiefs versus Eagles fans.
That would be my what do you think? Not it? Totally?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I don't know good question, because they're both very regional,
but the Eagles are a much bigger franchise, like in
terms of a lot more people have lived in the
Philly area than have lived in the Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You get the whole Eastern You probably get the whole
Eastern seaboard, which is a lot of population, right, A
lot of people. I mean, I think if you're a
Jet I don't know if you're if you're a Jets
or a Giants fan, do you adopt the Eagles when
they're in the old not? No, no, sorry, sorry. They
hate each other.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There are a lot of angry Giants fans, Cowboy fans,
Washington fans. They want Philly to lose. They hate them.
And interesting, this was kind of the hater super Bowl
because Philly fans don't have a lot of national uh
like for for lack of a better way to put it.
And I think a lot of people where have been
(02:01):
burned out on Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift and
the Chiefs as they've won three Super Bowls in the
past few years. I do think there's a for a
lot of people, you know, I think that maybe it
breaks down along the lines of there are there are
dynasty people and they're underdog people.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know, there are people that love a dynasty. You know,
I knew New Yorkers who had the gall during the
nineties to be big Chicago Bulls fans. You know, it's like,
how dare you, sir? How dare you? And the other
people that always want the scrappy underdogs. I feel like
the Eagles felt more like the underdogs again from my
seventy two hours or so of Super Bowl research, and yeah,
(02:39):
it was it was. It was quite It was quite
good to see them come through. So Clay will give
you more actual analysis on the Super Bowl and things
like that as we go through the show, and we'll
discuss all of that. But you know, Trump was first off,
let's start with this because this is a politics show.
Trump was cheered loudly. Trump was at the Super Bowl.
Everybody Clay who was watching the game at my place
(03:01):
here in South Beach, had the same reaction to he's
really the first president to ever go to a super Bowl.
It was kind of hard to believe. I just had
assumed there would have been other presidents. First presidents ever
go to Super Bowl. He walks, or rather, there's him.
I mean, he walked in with a lot of security
and stuff, but there's him on the screen and giving
(03:21):
everybody a wave. And this is Donald Trump shown during
the national anthem? Cut ten, play it broadstraight.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And Wright star to the pan, let us fine.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
All the rest. So I feel like a very positive reception. Play.
We're going to dive into the numbers here in a second.
We're not tired of winning, but there's a lot of
winning going on right now. But for you sports sports
officionado an expert, what was it like to see a
(04:02):
president getting that applause first time ever at the Super Bowl? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So, I don't know how many people noticed it. Did
you notice when they showed him during the national anthem?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Buck?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Did you hear the line they specifically chose to show
him on the word fight because of the fight fight
fight reaction. I don't know how many people know that
it's superscripted every shot in the Super Bowl like that.
They went to Trump in the box. Can we replay that?
Because I haven't seen anybody else pointed out I know
(04:34):
this to be true. Listen one more time. When you
start to hear when that camera goes to Trump, I
haven't seen anybody else point this out.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Listen, Bras Strakes and bright Star.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Fine.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now again they were intentionally evoking Trump standing and saying fight,
fight fight right after the assassination attempt by showing him
during that particular line of the anthem. Again, I haven't
seen anybody else point this out, but I thought that
was really well done. And it's why Buck, when I
came on, remember when ESPN missed the national anthem and
(05:20):
the moment of silence and all those things. The Super
Bowl is scripted down to the shot that will be
used in incredible detail. So when ESPN said, oh, we
just had a commercial break that happened to overlap, it's
like no, no, no, no, no, no. Big games are
down to the minute, down to the second. Controlled For instance,
(05:43):
they have eight minutes of Trump with Brett Bayer. Basically
that's how long the president gets in the run up.
Trump wanted an hour. He said I'll talk to him
for an hour. They were like no, no, no, no, you
get eight minutes. To his credit, he did it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Buck.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
The cheering, I think is a vibeve the CBS poll
that came out that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We're going to play that in a second. Yeah, the
CBS poll is looking very good for him.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Sixty percent mail approval. I don't remember the last time
I saw a president with sixty percent mail approval. And
you had Eagle fans, and you had Chiefs fans, buck
and they were overwhelmingly cheering players. Chris Jones, best defensive
player from the Chiefs. When Trump came onto the field,
he's a diehard Trump guy. Wanted to go shake his hand.
(06:27):
You had Patrick Mahomes's family come into the suite to
pose for photos. Mahomes is a big Trump guy. The
anti Trump sports era, which I lived through, is over.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It is over, I believe in a big way.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Athletes, coaches, executives they voted Trump over Kamala and they're
not pretending otherwise anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That was the best part of the whole thing. M
clay just said. I will point out the game unless
you're an Eagles fan who just wanted to see your
team destroy the other team, which I'm sure a lot
of them did, the game was boring. I mean, the
halftime show was so bad that Trump should sign an
executive order banning Kendrick Lamar from ever doing any halftime
show ever for all eternity.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's the worst halftime show I've ever seen. I tweeted
that people are mad at me for saying it. I've
been getting ripped, but I'm sorry, and I like rap.
I mean, I thought that Snoop Dogg Eminem that show
that was in LA a couple of years ago. This
was truly atrocious.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And the commercials were crappy, awful, and the commercial showing
what was that The NFL ran a commercial showing women
beating men in football. Stop insulting us. It's annoying. Okay,
it's annoying, Like I don't know why they have to
keep doing the thing of like girl power, Like girls
are just as strong and fast as guys. They're not.
It's annoying. Stop it, Okay, the guys on that field anyway,
(07:49):
we don't have to get It's not even we're talking about.
It's just like this childish fantasy that the left the
Democrats still like to push. So let's get into now. Clay,
by the way, you're right at the totality of the
shift culturally and sports specific with Trump there last night.
That was incredible, and that was the most noteworthy thing
other than the win for the Eagles, of the whole night.
(08:10):
I think everything else was kind of really lacking the
vibe shift Buck.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
CNN reached out to me for comments on how significant
it was that Trump was at the game for their
articles I haven't gotten I've been banned.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Since you need to respond and say, am I still banned?
Question Mark? That should be your only response. Am I
still banned? CNN? By the way, I bet you're not.
I bet you're not. That was a Zucker thing. You're
not banned anymore. I bet. I mean, I know you
can't go on because of Fox, but you could, you
know they would put your quotes and stuff up there. Okay,
let's get to Mark, because you know we got we
also got Elon, we got big balls, we got a
(08:46):
million things. We got to dive into. Margaret Brennan having
to spit out the words, looking so sour as she
says it, pointing out that CBS Director of Elections has
polling data showing Trump's approval rating currently the best it
has ever been.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Cut one our CBS poll finds and a majority of
Americans fifty three percent approve of the job he's doing.
That's a better approval number than he ever reached during
his first term in the White House.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
What's driving this. I will keep it simple, Margaret.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
He is doing, in the eyes of the public, what
he said he would do in the campaign.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
There's political value in that.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
In fact, seventy percent of people say he's doing what
he promised.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's whether they approve of him or not.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
The idea of deporting those in the country illegally continues
to be popular. We saw that in the campaign sending
troops to the US Mexico border, again majority in favor.
We've seen that in the campaign for his supporters, in particular,
the focus on ending DEI is popular.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Clay. It's not only Trump running up the scoreboard with
all this executive orders and all these things. The media
doesn't know what to do because the American people are
with him. The old tricks, the old Trumper, none of
that stuff is working.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, and it's not only where the fact that Trump
has support I mentioned that men in that CBS poll
sixty forty. I don't remember the last time that a
president had sixty percent approval among male voters. I mentioned
this before. I know it wasn't a Democrat. You know,
the last Democrat presidential candidate to win a majority of
(10:24):
male voters Lyndon Johnson nineteen sixty four, Like, that is
crazy to think about how much of a female dominated
party the Democrat Party has become. And Buck, it's not
only men plus twenty. You know what else really jumped
out at me? Under thirty voters Trump plus ten. This
(10:46):
is I think indicative of why the culture and the
vibe shift feels so real because much of the resistance
was driven by young women in the twenty seventeen Trump era.
And then also, you know this because you lived in
New York City, some young men tried to pretend that
they weren't Trump people because they wanted pretty girls to
(11:07):
be able to date them. This is a thing. I
think what's happened now is young men have gone all
in for Trump, and now pretty girls want guys to
like them, and pretty girls are now starting to come
on the maga train too. In other words, the sex
dynamic has flipped. And I think a big reason why
this is my big picture analysis, the abortion scare mongering.
(11:31):
It doesn't work anymore because most people are like, yeah,
my life hasn't really changed very much since Roe v.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Wade got overturned. I knew we would get here. It
took a little longer than I thought in terms of
we had to go through one midterm cycle first. But
this is the reality of it, which is that blue
states have kept the laws that they want on this
Red states have changed the laws, and then you have
some other places where things are more in flux. But
it isn't that that the abortion Remember the woman who's like, well,
(11:59):
I was at I was at the liquor store and
some kin that's the greatest joint, and I bought champagne
because Kamala is gonna win, don't you know. I'm a
political analyst.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That was That might've been my favorite thing of the
entire We need to we need to bring that back
every now is just to have some fun with it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I'm a political analyst, and the voices of women across
America will be heard. Trump just smoked Kamala Harris, seven
seven swing states all went his way, and I still think, Clay,
there's what I what I love here is the basic
strategy is to push and keep going as fast and
as many places as Trump and Elon and the cabinet
(12:41):
and the team around them ken because the Democrats are
in disarray. The Democrat this is not an orderly retreat
we are seeing after the twenty twenty four election. This
is a route. This is the Democrats running for the hills,
running for cover, and the Republican cavalry with Trump at
the front, running up, running up the scoreboard in a
big way. Look, you know, yesterday we had a little
(13:02):
bit of barbecue here and it was quite good. But
I'll tell you something, I was thinking about making some steaks, Clay.
I'm a big red meat guy. I like cooking steaks.
I'm all about it, and I know top quality. I
know what i'm doing, I know my way around a
cast iron. Our next sponsor here, Good Ranchers, is phenomenal.
They're so good that I would actually invite my brothers
(13:25):
over these days for steak night at my place over
the best steakhouse that we go to in South Beach,
because the quality of the meat is as good or better.
And they're talking about charging, you know, eighty dollars for
a filet minon, I mean, crazy stuff at that steakhouse.
Go see Good Ranchers and see what they've got. The
chicken is phenomenal, which you know, and a lot of
(13:46):
people's like, oh, you know, it's chicken. How much? No no, no, no,
this chicken is incredible, and I'm going to tell you
this right now. They have the best. You've tried the nuggets,
right My.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Boys love the nuggets, you know, kids, sometimes chicken nuggets
is a staple. This egg said you mentioned, I absolutely love.
I was blown away how good the quality of the
steak is and the chicken nuggets carriers laughing at me.
I have two giant bags of their chicken nuggets in
my freezer because I go through them so quickly.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No seed oil and gluten free. My friends, you will
a lot of chicken nuggets taste good, but they got
some trash in there. Good Ranchers none of that stuff.
I'm talking about the top quality steaks. They've got Pacific cod,
king salmon, shrimp for your proteins. You want to go
with Good Ranchers, it's My freezer is full of Good
Ranchers right now. And Carrie and I cook a lot.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Welcome back in short segment here, let me give you
a little bit of an idea. We were talking about
the Super Bowl, Buck, I will say, incredibly interesting to
me that Trump was cheered and that Taylor Swift was booed.
Now part of that is Eagle fans who do not
(15:57):
like Taylor Swift because her boyfriend travel As Kelsey plays
on the Chiefs. I also think this is a little
bit indicative of the continued vibe shift, however, which is
Taylor Swift's audience overwhelmingly young and female, and the audience
in the Super Bowl in general is substantially male. And
(16:18):
I think a lot of people feel like the whole
Taylor Swift Super Bowl angle has been way overplayed, and
so when they put her on the screen and they've
continued to do it. It's been two years now, there
was talk that maybe Travis Kelsey was going to retire
and propose to her on the field. Goodness, can you imagine.
I think most football fans are just kind of over it,
(16:39):
if that makes sense. And I did think that juxtaposition,
which Trump certainly drew attention to, was interesting because remember
buck Philadelphia is a very blue area, right, so the Eagles,
in theory are not necessarily the fan base, in other words,
not like Dallas was playing against Kansas City or that
(17:01):
kind of setup where you'll be like, okay, much of
the state is super red. I know Trump one Pennsylvania
was very close, but I would say Chiefs fans are
more likely to be Trump people than Eagles, and I
just thought that juxtaposition was very interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yes, absolutely so, Clay. I think we're gonna take everybody
here from footballs to big balls and talk about the
because after the show, the now, the the the member
of the Doge team known to the public now as
big balls. I'm just reporting, I'm reporting what's being reported. Okay,
(17:37):
don't don't. We can't get you know, in the school.
The school marm email to us, like, why are you
talking about big balls? Because the whole media is doge
elon hashtag resistance Judges sort of making a return. We're
going to dive into the fight against the deep state
here in just a second.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I'm back busy week in New Orleans. I leave again tomorrow.
I've got to go up to Chicago. You might even
be able to hear a little bit in my voice
that I'm a little bit under the weather after all
the running around like crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I got a little bit of a cold.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But Buck was talking about the fact that he's all
in on chalk and you can be too, if you
need energy, if you want to get hooked up. Buck

huge difference. In fact, the Chalkmail Vitality Stack can replenish

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Do it today. Welcome back into Clay and Buck. And
we aren't talking about a lot going on in DC
right now and the fight against the deep state, a
bunch of judges putting universal injunctions against Trump moves. We're
going to dive into this, but first the media fascinated
with one member of Doze, in particular, the fellow known
(19:11):
as well Play. Two good evening, thanks for joining us.
We begin tonight with Musk and Big Balls, Big Balls.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Big Balls, a nineteen year old that goes by the
username big Ball.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Big Balls who work for Elon mus so called Department
of Government Efficiency Doze.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
The Big Balls Kid, a literal teenager.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Big balls, big balls here, So that would be one
way that we could refer to him.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Young computer Whizzz, the aforementioned big balls, because who among.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Us doesn't feel better about big.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Balls, big balls, big balls, big b A l ls.
That's what he calls himself in charge of American air
traffic Control.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now they are saying it. First of all, he's not
in charge of American air traffic control. But put that aside.
The lies. Now, what you're seeing is they don't actually
have arguments against a lot of this stuff, So they're
just gonna lie about everything, and we'll start to pull apart,
pick apart some of the those lies here momentarily. But
they think it reminds me a little bit of clay
of Trump running in twenty sixteen. They think talking about
(20:07):
this is mockery that will turn people against the Doge team.
They don't understand that that vibe shift, as we have discussed,
where the culture is increasingly with Trump, with Elon, with this,
this team of mavericks, if you will, this sort of
a non traditional look at the government waste and abuse.
(20:29):
Because here's an example of what Elon Doge and Big Yes,
mister big Balls are looking at Elon tweeted this out.
Doge canceled a seventeen million dollar project by the US
government to provide tax policy advice to Liberia. We're sending
twenty seventeen million, but you know, seventeen million dollars to
(20:54):
Liberia to help them with tax Do we think anyone
is actually helped by this advice? I mean, if they
have the Internet and Iberia, can't they look up tax
advice there? Why are we doing this? It's we're just
in a set in a place where the deep state,
the forever government, the bureaucracy, lights money on fire with
impunity and thinks that they're the good guys for doing it. Clay,
(21:17):
The New York Times has forty million dollars of subscriptions, yes,
by by government. You want to know how these how
the left wing? Why is it that we have like
a few things in conservative media, which by the way,
are very profitable, right, like you know, you talk about
talk radio, Fox News, like these are businesses that have
(21:37):
sustained themselves, you know, or like we all know, right,
I mean, this is this is capitalism working. And yet
on the left, it's like NPR, ABC News, CBS News, NBC.
You go through all these things. Well, if you can
get government employees by the hundreds of thousands to have
the government's money paying for your subscription, that's a pretty
big advantage, don't you think it's.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
It's monstrously huge. And I just I'm maybe I'm just out.
I was stunned by this. And I come from the
media universe, Buck, where I've had to do AD sales.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It is so hard to do a million dollars in
AD revenue. I mean a lot of.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Your local shows that you are listening to in conjunction
with this show Premiere, a lot of your local affiliate shows.
They will bust their ass to get a million dollars
in total revenue in all of these different local markets
all over the country. I remember Buck both selling individual
ads to fund out Kick.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But I also remember the local sports talk.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Radio show that I did when we hit one and
a half million dollars in AD revenue, Like we were
super excited about how successful that show had been.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
That's a successful business. That's a hard milestone. Look, I
remember the first five thousand dollars of AD revenue I
sold on a pot on my podcast, like fourteen years ago.
I was, yeah, five grand I went out and did
all of these pitches and everything else. And I understand
most people don't really know the media business, but to
have tens of millions of dollars of mine and your
(23:13):
taxpayer money going to subsidized left wing content is bonkers.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And I just want to hit you with this. Think
about it. I think this is a talking point that
should be slammed home more frequently. How would the media
cover it if there were a twenty thousand dollars a
year Fox News product that all of the Trump administration
was paying tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars
(23:41):
a year to support. Because people out there are like,
well that's just what Politico pro cost twenty thousand dollars
a year.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'm sorry like that. I never paid twenty grand a
year for anything as a subscription in my life. I
have no idea. This is insane.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Clear the subscription my first house was seventy thousand dollars.
I mean, like, the idea that you would pay twenty
k to get a freaking email password for an article
is bonkers to me.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Also, why is that a legitimate expenditure of Because what
they say is like, yeah, that's just the price. And
you know, we know that. Here's the thing, everybody, their
arguments are trash. The people that are trying to argue
against what Elon and the Trump administration are doing right now,
their arguments are garbage. So they're just going to start now.
They're talking about Elon has access to too much personal information.
(24:28):
Elon works on rocket ships and has a TS clearance
and is better at what's going on and has more
influence on what's happening in outer space than NASA by
a factor of one hundred. Okay, it's not even close
that Elon can't be trusted. Elon was an original founder
at PayPal, where they had access to everyone's banking information.
(24:49):
I mean, this guy's track record of not giving a
you know what about random people's Social Security numbers and
like personal data. Their arguments against what he's doing are
in insane. These are arguments for people that don't live
in reality. And it's because when we look at this Clay,
you say, hold on, why is the governments why if
(25:09):
you're sitting in the in the commerce department, why are
taxpayer dollars via commerce paying for your New York Times subscription? Yes,
pay for your own damn New York Times subscription? What
is this? I would look, I pay for all my subscriptions.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Now I don't work for the government, but I would
be embarrassed to ask iHeart to pay for my d
You I've.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Never had an employer pay for a newspaper subscription. That's
that's on me. Wouldn't you be embarrassed to even ask? Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And I would feel the same way about asking Fox
to pay for my subscriptions to you know, Washington Post or.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Or whatever else. Why Why shouldn't all these bureaucrats have
the federal government paying for their cable bill?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
There's news channels, Yeah, I just I, And so I
can't even imagine the thought process. You're just using the
government like a trough of cash to be signing up
for these things. Like I just I would be humiliated
and embarrassed if I worked at a government office. And
for people to try to defend this again, I'm looking
(26:12):
at it from the perspective of someone who has done
media and had to do ad sales. It's hard to
get a million dollars when we're talking about tens of
millions of dollars going to these companies. That's not very
different from all of these left wing organizations basically paying
and subsidizing all the reporting that they want to go
(26:33):
after their adversaries. It's like they're retaining their own independent
news media, and independent is in a quote quotation mark
because they want them to throw And this is so important,
Buck and I feel like we could do a whole
show on this, the laundering of stories through the media
to then justify using them to attack your political opponents. Look,
(26:57):
if Chuck Schumer wants to argue that Pete hagg Seth
doesn't deserve to be Defense Secretary, and he wants to
leigh out the reasons why that's at least above board.
And I'm just using Chuck Schumer because he's a Senate
majority or a Senate minority leader. If he gets Pro
Publica or the Washington Post or the New York Times
(27:17):
to publish an attack piece so that he can then
use it to try to argue against Pete hag Seth,
that's dishonest. It's laundering dirty information through your media allies
and then claiming that these independent journalists have just raised
this story. It's so dirty, and it's actually the foundation
(27:37):
of American politics right now.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Well, it's also Russia collusion. Right. The whole Russia collusion
thing was you hit people in the FBI as sources
for the media, and then the FBI people for warrants
for Faiza, which I remember when I when I'm a
CIA and like anything that had to do with FIA's
information was treated as, oh, this is a very powerful tool,
(28:01):
and everyone has to be very you know, above board,
and it's all audit and everything else. The FBI feeds
the media stories to attack the people they don't like
in politics, and then the FBI in official documents goes, well,
look at what they said at the Associated Press. I'm
gonna cite that for the warrant. I mean, the whole thing,
like I say, is the is the ultimate self licking
(28:22):
ice cream cone. And for anyone who's by the way,
we're gonna have to their their arguments against this are
all garbage, and so it's just going to be just
constant lies, constant misdirection. They cannot take these things on
to say, for example, that they do not believe that
this money matters because it's not enough. It every dollar
(28:46):
when you file your taxes, does every dollar matter? Oh,
you're darn right. It is you and I have talked
about this. I got a demand for like an extra
one hundred bucks one year, and I wasn't making much
money at the time from the irs. Every dollar matter
is when it comes to the government taking money from you.
Every dollar doesn't count. When it comes to what the
government is spending. That's outrageous, that's unacceptable. And it goes
to the mentality that has become pervasive in DC, which
(29:09):
is that the government is here forever. You know, the
Republicans can elect some clown here or there to be
quote president and have a cabinet, but really the government
governs no matter what clay. That has to stop that
mentality is what we are fighting.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, and I mean in your own family, if you
found out that you were paying twenty percent of your
bills for fraudulent not what you were paying for aspects
of your life, would you be like, well, it's only
twenty percent, or would you acknowledge, Hey, this is significant.
(29:45):
I mean you just talked to me, just talked about
the fact buck you're getting in shape with the baby coming.
It's like saying, well, for anybody out there that's one
hundred pounds overweight, well, it's only five pounds. Well, you
can't address the corpus of your overweight aspect unless you
start somewhere right. I mean, I just I fundamentally reject
the idea of, oh, it's only two percent of spending. Oh,
(30:08):
it's only four percent of spending. If it's wasted money
and it's our money and it's fraud, why in the
world should we just pretend that it's okay or acceptable
to have any element of fraud commended in our tax spending.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The mentality of a weight loss and fitness journey to
the degree I'm able to speak about this, uh to
maybe eventually I'll put some progress picks online. You guys
will be impressed. Progress has been good. But the from
from that perspective and the government spending issue, uh, it
really is about how you treat everything and what you're
(30:44):
willing to address and do you have a sense of
what is going on? Meaning do even do you even
know what's happening? Do you even know who's getting this money?
Do you even know how much money is being spent?
Do you even know what's happening to the money that
we're giving to the people that are supposed to be
spending it? Same thing with how many steps a day
are you getting, how many calories are you eading, how
(31:05):
much protein are you getting? Like, if you don't know
these things, you can't fix it. And I know it's
taking you know, individual diet and taking it to the
multi trillion dollar federal government. But the basic principles are
the same, and I think Elon would agree with that,
by the way, which is why when he says they're
now going to go and I mean, they're auditing a
whole range of federal institutions and they're gonna go audit
(31:27):
social Security. What are the Democrats saying he wants to
take away your social Security? No, that is a lie.
Elon just wants to not have Social Security writing one
hundred billion dollars of fraudulent government taxpayer checks a year.
How about that? Who's who's not on board with that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And again I think it's really important to wo we
come back. Do you see Mark Cuban, who's now upset
at at Elon and Trump and everybody. You're not gonna
be surprised, buck, do you know what he did just
a few years ago, Say, thirty percent of the government's
probably fraudum waste, And we should cut it and now
because he voted for Kamala, he suddenly come back around.
(32:06):
The guy's brain's broken. We'll play some audio with you
of that. Unfortunately, Buck, we have lost. You and I
big losers on our prize picks picks. We won the
free square. That's good because it's impossible. I did say
the Eagles would win. We did, unfortunately, put no money
on that though. So but Juju Smith Schuster by a
(32:30):
half point went over his receiving yards and then Saquon
didn't score. He got close, had a couple of close opportunities,
he didn't get into the end zone. And Travis Kelcey
was a no show in the first half. So we lost.
We lost. We took it on the chin. We kind
of got smoked, but we smoked. In fact, you would
(32:50):

Welcome back in.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Senator Ron Johnson texting me during the show, fired up
about the budget.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
We're gonna get him on this week. Ali. He wants
to come on and tell us all about this.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
But he says, kind of summing up the the what
we need to do in the budget in general, if
we use the projected Trump last budget, that is twenty
twenty one plus Biden's projected twenty twenty five spending for
Social Security, Medicare, and interest, you would be down to
a six point one trillion dollar budget that would dramatically
(34:19):
reduce the deficit, may even balance it. Says, it's eminently
reasonable and entirely doable. It takes discipline and leadership, and
he is pushing it hard. And again, I just continue
to point this out because I think many people have
lost their way, and thank you for Senator Johnson for
(34:39):
listening and sharing this. We let spending take off during COVID,
and we then have allowed it to become embedded instead
of For instance, Buck I toured the World War II
Museum again down in New Orleans. You know, it's amazing place,
absolutely incredible time. Encourage all of you to go check
(35:01):
it out. But if you go look at the federal budget.
Our budget skyrocketed during World War II because we had
to build all of the weaponry to beat the Nazis
and Imperial Japan. But as soon as we won the war,
our budget returned to some form of normalcy. We didn't
continue with the same budgetary plans going forward. We said, Okay,
(35:24):
we won the war, let's dial back our overall federal spending.
What Democrats are trying to do is they're trying to
say COVID's the new normal. We use that as an
excuse to blow out budget deficits and spending, and then
we want to embed that as the new basis of
starting point for our government. We've got to reject that.
(35:47):
We really have to go back to some form of
fiscal restraint to help make up for the fact of
what we spent during COVID. So Senator Ron Johnson'll come
on and lay this out in more details.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
We've also got Crockett Coffee T shirt on here, which
is a hard turn, but it's also a great turn
because Crockett Coffee is what I'm going to go get
