Americans react positively to President Trump's speech. Democrats have gone over the woke waterfall and delegitimized their party. The mainstream media, including Jake Tapper, admits the Democrats are demoralized and lost the pep in their step. Clay's mustache coaching analogy. Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls the President of the United States "Putin's ho." Clay's dream about baking goods with Meghan Markle. Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, describes being at the State of the Union address and how Democrats shocked the conscience of everyday Americans for not standing during moments of humanity. The left wing has become radicalized, especially on social media. Black Lives Matter rioters are celebrated by the left, but a 13-year-old black cancer survivor doesn't get a standing ovation? Federal Judge on USAID contact. The people behind-the-scenes Making America Great Again (MAGA). It's not just a job; it's a lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in third hour of Clay and Buck kicks off. Now,
appreciate you being here with us, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We've got a.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Lot to dive into. Still, the speech from last night
some news that has broken this morning. Overall, I think.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
The speech is.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Something that was very effective. I think the numbers show that.
I think the perception on the right is that Trump
is dialed in and is doing a fantastic job. And
Democrats will never admit any of this, of course, but
their opposition to him is so lackluster and ineffective that
I think that speaks louder than anything they could say,
(00:38):
which is proof further proof that Trump is on the
right track. America is back, and we are in the
dawn of the Golden Age of America. Clay, I don't
think we played this one yet. If we did, apologies,
but we could always hit it again. It is CNN's
David Chalie. Do we play him in the very beginning
(00:58):
of the show. We might have, But here he is,
this has cut eight, and he's saying, according to CNN's
snappole or whatever it is that they do their instapol,
these are the numbers when it comes to positivity and
reacting to Trump's speech.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Play it to the results. What was your reaction to
Trump's speech?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Forty four percent of speech watchers and our instant potent
to night say they had a very positive reaction to
Trump's speech, twenty five percent somewhat positive, thirty one percent negative.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Sixty nine percent of Americans, this is what it says
on the sheet had a had a positive or very
positive reaction to President Trump's speech. So I don't know,
is that incorrect, guys, because that was the numvel added
up strongly positive.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Okay, So the point here is sixty nine percent thought
that it was either good or great, which means that
you're looking at a seventy percent approval of the speech overall,
the tone, overall. It's tough to get seventy percent of
Americans to agree on much of anything these days.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Trump has strung together a large coalition built around common sense,
and Democrats have combated his common sense revolution by going
further over the woke waterfall, and again, I think just
delegitimizing themselves as a legitimate party. And I know this
(02:28):
because I see and hear and meet so many of
you out there, this audience for this show in particular,
is growing in record amounts because the rest of the
media has totally lost its mind. And I do think
this is significant. More Democrats watch Fox News than watch
(02:51):
MSNBC or CNN now and if you are looking out there,
I mean sometimes I saw Brett Behar's interview with Zolensky.
He had a seventy five percent new share. Seventy five percent,
And if you are now a Democrat politician, you're like, Hey,
we should go on Fox News to actually talk to Democrats.
(03:13):
I don't think that's crazy for this show either. If
I were Eric Adams and I was running for mayor
of New York City and I were trying to figure
out how to address a huge audience of potential voters,
I would be begging to come on WR our affiliate
in New York City and talk to this audience. The
same thing for Andrew Cuomo. If you're trying to talk
to the biggest possible audience out there, it feels to
(03:34):
me like Democrats have painted themselves into a corner, and
they keep painting themselves into a smaller and smaller corner.
And Trump's speech, if you take away Trump's involvement from it,
I thought he was great when he pointed it out
with RFK Junior. Remember, they talked and wrote about what
a master stroke putting RFK Junior would have been for
(03:56):
Obama in his cabinet. And Trump rightly pointed out during
the speech that when he gave a shout out to
RFK Junior, if Obama had done it, everybody would have
cheered like crazy on the Democrat side of the aisle.
And the way that this started, Buck and we talked
about this off the top with Al Green and his
cane haranguing Trump and being forced to be evicted from
(04:21):
the chambers. Remember, it wasn't very long ago that it
was considered uncouth, unacceptable behavior. I believe it was in
two thousand and nine. For the Republican in the crowd
to yell out you lie to Obama, that was considered
to be beyond the pale. He had to apologize. Democrats
(04:44):
took a ton of flak for it. Basically, there were
thirty or so interruptions and Republicans That's what I'm saying.
Back in two thousand and nine and now you've got
I don't think it's crazy to say the people who
were in that chamber say that much of the disruption
wasn't picked up by the audio, but there were constantly
(05:04):
people walking out. The al green thing was impossible to ignore.
Democrats have lost their minds, and they lost the ability
to even connect with their basic humanity when they're not
standing up for a thirteen year old kid who's being
honored as a Secret Service agent because of his commitment
(05:26):
having overcome brain cancer to.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The police.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And I loved that moment Buck for many reasons, but
in particular because it finally feels we were talking about
BLM plaza, we're swinging back away from police are everything
that is awful in America. It used to be an
aspirational goal to be a police officer for many young
kids out there of all different backgrounds, and it feels
like we're finally starting to recognize, hey, police are the
(05:54):
good guys again. Well, police in America, by the numbers,
are phenomenal and given especially what they have to deal
with in high crime neighborhoods, the numbers show that we
have an incredibly well trained, professional, and humane and constitutional
law enforcement. But that's not what Democrats want people to
(06:14):
believe because it's easier to put the blame on the
police than to look at other problems and challenges. But
you know, I was thinking about this, Clay, you probably
had this experience. We haven't talked much about our I mean,
you know, high school athletics. But remember when you were
on a pretty good team and if you lost a
close game to somebody when you're a kid.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I mean I'm thinking about you know, basketball, soccer, sports
I played, you were like, oh man, I can't You
were looking on the schedule and you couldn't wait to
play them again. You walked off that field if it
was a really tough game and you felt, you know,
oh we were robbed.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
We could have won. And I don't know if you've
ever had this.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I've also had the other thing where you get so
obliterated because you played like the state select team or something,
when they're just in another level. You're like, I never
want to see those guys again. That's really that was
a real tough one. I don't I don't want to
ever have to come up against. Democrats are looking a
little bit like that these days in terms of where
they are as a political party. You know, they look
(07:10):
like they have been completely gobsmacked. Jake Tapper, who's busy
promoting the book on the Biden lie. Hmm, very suspect
here he is saying over at CNN, this has cut
four that the Democrats are totally demoralized.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
You can really sense Republicans with a pep in their
step and Democrats rather demoralized. I mean, understandably so, given
the fact that Republicans control the House, the Senate, and
the White House, not to mention a conservative lean on
the US Supreme Court. But beyond that, even when Republicans
(07:49):
are out of power, you sense like an energy quite
often when and when when Democrats are controlling things. The Democrats,
and not to be cliche about it, but they are
in dis array.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
They do not know how to be the opposition for us.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, here's the easiest way to put it, Clay.
We can't we sit here and it's not even clear
who we should be publicly arguing with on the Democrat
side to tackle whatever the opposition to Trump's policies may be.
There doesn't seem this is like in Troy when Brad
Pitt defeats the giant guy and then he's like, is
(08:26):
there anybody else? And no one comes forward. There does
not seem to be anybody else on the Democrat side.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I like your analogy about the sports. I'll take it
to coaching, because that's what I've done more recently. I
was coaching twelve U basketball a couple of years ago,
I think, and one of the team we played against,
every kid had a mustache. And I don't know how
that was possible, but any of you who have coached
(08:54):
like Little league baseball or like adolescent moving towards as
soon as a kid has a mustache, he's got some testosterone.
It's not little boy ball anymore. Somehow, we played against
the team where every kid had a mustache. And I remember,
I'm twelve you I remember taking a time out and
I don't know, we were down like thirty.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
To six or something.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I mean, these kids were just I mean it was
like I was like coaching the Washington Generals against the
Harlem Globe Trotters right now. I was the Generals and uh,
and the kids come over and uh. And you know,
as a coach, you just got nothing, like there is nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
You got this.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
You got the board, you know, buck where you're like, hey,
let me draw the play, and the play's not gonna work,
like and they don't play. It's not gonna work there.
You know, I was joking afterwards with their dads. I
think some of these kids, I think some of these
kids drove here. You know, it's twelve you basketball kids
like pulling up in their own I think some of
them have kids themselves. And uh and and like I'm
sitting there with the dry erase board and uh and
(09:51):
I feel like the Democrats right now are like me
in that game buck. They've got the dry erase board. Literally,
they had the dry erase boards in the in the
house chamber and they're just writing like pay your taxes,
elon steeles and and these are not game plans that
are going to work. But they're so utterly defeated right now.
(10:13):
They don't even have a strategy to respond to the opposition.
And to your point, they don't even have somebody who
can step forward and you can be like, oh, that's
the guy or that's the gal who is going to
elucidate their worldview better than someone else. I don't ever
remember seeing a void like this.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
They're usually in a way I haven't seen it happen.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Usually the leadership of a political party is in a
moment like this. I would say, fractured between a few
different competing voices. That would be far more normal. Right,
you look back to Trump's first term, you had, you know,
the Obama and Obama heights around him, obviously, Joe Biden,
(10:55):
you had Elizabeth Warren, you had Bernie Sanders. Now I
understand they're still but their potency as political figures has
dramatically declined. And with Bertie Sanders, he's just so old
no one thinks he's going to be president, So they're not.
It's not just that they don't have a single person.
They don't even have a stable of people who are
(11:15):
trying to emerge. And it's not just about those individuals,
it's about what the message may be when they do
things like say Elon is stealing. They're trying to make
an argument to normal, everyday Americans that the richest man
in the world has decided to put himself in the
cross hairs of lunatics because he cares a little bit
(11:38):
about the stock price going up on one of his
many hundreds of billions of dollar value companies. And they're
effectively arguing Clay that a literal or soon to be
trillionaire needs a five percent bump in a stock when
an actuality he's taken on tremendous headaches. This is just
an irrational argument, but it reminds me of if you've
(11:58):
ever I don't know if any of you have ever
in this position where you've been right in an argument
with somebody, maybe somebody very close to you, and you're
right on the merits, and then all of a sudden,
it's I don't like your tone. They're tone policing Elon
with Oh, but the way he's doing it is and
I agree with the cuts. I agree with ending the fraud,
but I don't like the way he's doing it. It's
(12:20):
too haphazard, Clay, that's not a serious argument against it, right.
This is not a you either want it to happen
or not. No one's ever done it before. Do you
want it to happen? Yes or no? They play this
game of oh, we want the same result, we would
just go about it differently, even though they've never actually
done that, and all they do is make it harder
to get to the result. I think people are seeing
(12:41):
through it. So this is why I believe it's also
getting increasingly pathetic for them, because with their arguments being made,
it's backing them into a more difficult corner.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
The arguments are awful, they aren't supported by the vast
majority of the American public, and you actually you are
ending up. I mean, we come back. I'll play audio
clip of Jasmine Crockett, who somehow has become a prominent
spokesperson for the Democrat Party. She's a moron and she
actually alienates far more people than she would ever bring in.
(13:15):
And that's kind of where we are in terms of
people clamoring to be the official spokesperson of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
You know, you spoke about it as from the coach perspective, Clay,
Just real quick. I played in a in a basketball
tournament in the eighth grade when I was playing a
fair amount of basketball, So I was very young, young
I guess I'm fourteen or something like that at that point,
and someone dunked that we were playing against. Someone dunked, yeah,
and I remember it's like it's all over. Just with that,
(13:42):
You're like, this is not gonna go. Well, it's a
bit like Trump dunked on the Democrats last night. And
they're at that phase of basketball where they like to
just touch the bottom of the net and think that
that's cool.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
No, no, no, no, you want to be able to dunk.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
It reminds me of somebody yelling back door, you know where,
like somebody's and then you're already dunked on before you
could even react. But to your point, I bet that
kid had a mustache, and I bet he was pretty
far along on puberty.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Only fifteen or sixteen, you know what I mean. Fifteen
or sixteen, big difference from thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
So yeah, when you're stopping the backboard on your layup
and then somebody else is dunking, you're at a competitive disadvantage.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think that's fair to say.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I want to tell you about something a week from today.
I want to invite you to join me for a
great moment online before this program starts next Wednesday, I
get to do something really excited with my dad appearing
online in a conversation you don't want to miss. This
has far more to do with my father's expertise than
anything I'm doing day to day. But you'll find it
really interesting, and some of you could find it very
beneficial too. You know, I grew up in New York
(14:40):
City and a Wall Street family. My dad was a
stockbroker made his living researching and predicting where the markets
would go.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
He was really good at it.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And that's one way of introducing the fact that next
Wednesday he's going to be making a big prediction on
a video seminar and a big forecast on the markets
is going to be what he presents. Write this day
down Mark twelve at eleven am eastern eight am on
the West Coast. It will be online and video form
super easy for you to register, free of charge online. Look,
(15:08):
my dad made a name for himself back in eighty seven.
He called the Crash on television in fact, eleven days
before it happened, and then he also called the crash
in two thousand and nine for his clients. The predictions
are too numerous to mention all here, but the latest
one's coming on March twelfth. Register online for it and
see us an hour before this program starts. To sign up,

You know him as conservative radio hosts, now just get
to know them as guys on this Sunday Hang podcast
with Clay and Fuck. Find it in their podcast feed
on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back in Clay Travis bock Sexton Show. The talkback
has become a big hit and you guys are often
(15:59):
hysteric on them. Producer Greg listening to them all the time.
Let's listen to some of your talkbacks, Phoenix KFYI weigh
and in what you got for us?
Speaker 6 (16:08):
When you first said that you were fantasizing about Megan Markle,
somebody slammed the door and I thought it was Megan Rapino.
So I forgive you for at least fantasizing about Megan Markle.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
It wasn't a fantasy. It was an uncomfortable dream where
we were baking together at an adult extended education camp.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
To be fair.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
To be fair, Clay, it was a confectionery fantasy, or
perhaps a baked goods day dream.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well, which you guys on social media have taken and
run with AI and it is pretty extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
CC.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Let's see this is, by the way, Meghan Rapino. That
is very funny. Meghan Rapino, the gay women's soccer player.
I have not had dreams about cooking goods with her,
yet who knows.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Let's go to CC what you got for us.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
There's only one way to explain your Megan Merkel dream. Clearly,
Kid Rock doosed you with some hallucinogen last night. So
if I were you, I'd be talking to Kid Rock
about easing off on the drugs when you're around, because
you might have sipped the wrong drink class night.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I think he's right.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I think Kid Rock might have dosed me, and that
might be why I was at Kid Rock's honky tonk
last night.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That might be why I was edge against persistent inflation.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
The good news is you can own gold and have
it safely stored in your savings account for one K
or both for that matter. You can store your physical
gold at home just as easily. Birch Gold Group can
help you with this, and they have so many listeners
already in this audience. When you talk with the people

Week Sundays at noon Eastern. Find it on the iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Welcome back into Clay and Bucks. Steven Miller, White House
Deputy Chief of Staff, joins us right now. Steven, appreciate
you making the time of breaking from your twenty one
twenty two hour workdays at this White House to fill
us in on Well, first, the aftermath of a highly
successful speech. Did it all come off as you guys intended,
(18:58):
and what should we be expecting here in days ahead.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Well, first, it's great to be back on the air
with you. I think it's the first time I've been
on the air with you since President Trump was inaugurated
back into the White House, so it's great to be
on with you, and I enjoyed getting the chance to
come on your air many times during the four years
between term one and term two, and it's very enjoyable
(19:23):
to be here now calling you from the West wing
of the White House.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So thank you.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
The speech last night went more incredibly than we could
have ever even hoped. And of course we always know
that these massive, internationally watched musty TV events for President
Trump are where he truly thrives. But even by those
extremely high standards, this speech exceeded their expectations. And of course,
(19:54):
at the same time, Democrats humiliated themselves before that same
international human the audience, behaving in a way that really
shocks the conscious of the country. I mean, it wasn't
just it wasn't just dissurfing. It was really profoundly sinister.
(20:14):
I mean, to not stand in honor victims and their
families who have been murdered by illegal aliens, to not
stand in honor children. A child thirteen year old who
is battling brain cancer is beginning to live out his
(20:34):
dream and become, to his surprise and honorary Secret Service agent,
and to see all the inspiring stories and heroes and
a border agent who exchanged gunfire with a cartel, A
girl who was who suffered a severe brandury because she
(20:55):
was spiked in the face by a male athlete. I mean,
story are of people who overcome hardship, adversity, unimaginable loss.
I was there last night. I was stunned the Democrats
didn't stand to honor these Americans in their stories.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
What do you attribute that to, Stephen?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Do you think?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I'm curious? I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I think it was the best speech that Trent. Thanks
for coming on, and we're proud of all the work
you're doing. I think it was the best speech that
Trump has ever given in his career, not only based
on how he did, but I agree with you, and.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
I appreciated you, or we appreciate you were saying so
posting on X last night, so that's not going to notice.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Thank you well, it's well deserved. You guys are busting
your ass. And I thought it was a stellar performance
by Trump, and you guys had weaved so many perfect
narratives together to give people attention in the gallery there.
Why do you think Democrats have so lost their way?
Because leave aside politics, Stephen, it's basic humanity to cheer
(21:56):
for a thirteen year old who's overcome brainking answer, it's
basic humanity to cheer for a ninety five year old
mother who gets her son back from Russian captivity. These
are not political related concerns. I talk some with people afterwards,
and they said, the left wing has so taken control
of social media that all of these Democrats are terrified
(22:19):
to be seen as in any way applauding anything the
president does. And also there's a crazy level of groupthink
that has destroyed them. What do you attribute this to?
Because it's not normal, it's super weird, and I know
Tim Wallace tried to say Republicans were weird, but it's
also profoundly inhumane to me, Leaving aside the politics.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Oh, you're right, I mean, it displays a shocking absence
of humanity at a very fundamental level, at a human level.
You know, you see these You see these people who
have suffered and endured loss and pain that people can't
even imagine. How do you not stand and honor them?
(23:04):
How do you not show any kind of respect or
decency in that moment? It really does defy any attempt
to describe it or understand it. The presidentship at the
beginning of a speech, challenge democrats too, for just one night,
put aside their own petty and personal and partisan feelings
(23:25):
and celebrate big wins for America. For example, like you mentioned,
getting somebody back who is in who's improperly detained in
Russia to be reunited with their family would be an
example of a big win for America that everybody should.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Stand up in applause.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Or capturing the terrorists behind the Abbegate murder of thirteen
US service members, these are things that you would think
everybody would riotously applaud because there's such a huge win
for the country, such a huge win for our people.
It does defy description. I have to say that. I
(24:03):
think what's happened is the Democrat Party as an institution
has become severely radicalized. I'm not using that term as
an insult, although they deserve it. I'm using it clinically.
I'm saying they've clinically.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Become radicalized the way that the closed society or a
cult or or some of the social group does that
lacks any kind of outside input, any kind of exposure
to alternate points of view, and the more time they
spend with each other, and you sort of alluded to
it in the close social media circle as well too.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
The more extreme, the more radical they become, to the
points in which here's a good example, Mark Werner was
on Senator Mark Warner was on TV recently. He accidentally
said something good the day before about President Trump's work
on the border, and then he went on TV the
next day to take it back and apologize forever, even
in p or suggesting that President Trump had done anything
(25:02):
good on the border. Again, this is the same political party,
as you know, that has venerated criminals.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
For years and years and years.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
That has venerated people who have engaged in violent contact
like Black Lives Matter rioters for years, and they couldn't
even stand for the family of Lake and Riley who
is barbarically murdered by a legal immigrant from El Salvador.
(25:31):
It really, it just it's a crystalizing moment in terms
of where we are as a country. We have one
political party, the Republicans, led by Donald Trump, that is
broadly fighting for issues at eighty eighty five percent of
Americans agree on. Then we have another political party that
is lost in the wilderness and has gone completely mad.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
We're speaking to Stephen Miller, White House Deputy chief of Staff,
and Stephen, give us if you can. I know you can,
and so give us, if you will a sense of
what is coming next here on the agenda. We've seen
a lot of the executive orders. We didn't get to
it earlier today, but a federal judge decided that he
could determine on his own that two billion dollars must
(26:15):
be paid for a USAID contract. Supreme Court five to
fours come down and is essentially mandating that payment. So
we know that the courts are going to be a battleground.
What are you expecting with regard to that, and also
what can we expect when it comes to immigration enforcement
and some of the major operations that have certainly been
hinted at well.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
I mean, the district court judge issue is a very
severe one, perhaps one of the most severe. So it's
important to understand there's seven hundred more or less district
court judges nationwide, or about six hundred and eighty district
court judges nationwide, a larger number than many people might imagine.
(27:00):
And so when you shoot the term federal judge and
join something, we're talking about one person from a pool
of almost seven hundred, so large than the number of
House Democrats by a significant margin. For example, a subset
of those federal judges are equally as radical assay Al
(27:20):
Green who was escorted from the chamber last night, or
elin Omar or an aoc et cetera. And so we
have a situation now as a country where again these
are people that you know, Biden or Obama forced through
on a party line vote that got you know, zero
national attention, because, let's be honest, very little national coverage
(27:40):
of a you know, a district court judge being appointed
to say San Francisco. And so you have a single
district court judge that is the that it sort of
represents one percent of the American population ideologically, that gets
to assert the powers of the presidency for themselves and says,
I'm going to be the president.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Now, I'm going.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
To decide what our foreign policy is. I'm going to
decide what foreign aid we're going to fund, are not
going to fund. And it's breathtakingly unconstitutional. The founding fathers
would have been horrified that anything even resembling Legers described
could happen. And clearly the Supreme Court is going to
(28:21):
need to establish new rules and procedures for district court
injunctions because it deprives the American people of their ability
to exercise democracy. And there was you vote for a
change in policy, you elect a new president, you can't
have district court judges preventing that president from executing the
policies that he campaigned on. So talking to Stephen real
(28:45):
and a very serious, very direct threat to democracy in
our democratic system of government. And clearly there's going to
need to be reforms.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
We know that you are walking working, Stephen Miller with
US now White House Deputy chief of Staff that are
probably extraordinary. I know you have three young kids as well.
I know your wife has also been working like crazy.
Take it outside of the policy world for a moment.
What is your average day like right now? There's a
(29:15):
lot of parents out there that have serious jobs.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
What are you doing on a day to day basis?
What is your day like?
Speaker 4 (29:23):
And then second part of this, and I texted you
about this because before in the four years when you
were on with US regularly, we established your affinity for
Karate Kid and the Cobra Kai series, which I set
around on February thirteenth and watched with my three boys.
Have you had any moments of just non work basically
(29:43):
since January twentieth, or frankly even since November fifth? What's
your day to day life like right now?
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Yes? Well, so, unfortunately I have not had the chance
to watch the last installments, so no spoilers here, please.
I will you're safe for kai because because I have
not at the back kind of time. But maybe I'll
be able to get a chance to catch an episode
here or there in the near future, because obviously I've
(30:10):
invested a lot into the series personally and emotionally, so
I'm definitely going to finish it. But let me to
answer your other question. Look, when you work in the
White House, when you work more specifically in the West
Wing as a senior age of the President, you know
you're on twenty four to seven and so, and you're
on wherever you are. There's no such thing as being
(30:31):
off the clock. The notion of working hours and non
working hours doesn't exist. If you're awake, you're working, and frankly,
the if you're asleep, you're about to be working, because
you're gonna get a phone call while you're sleeping. But
That's exactly what we signed up for. That's what the
Amact of People expect of us, that's what the taxpayers
expect of us. That's what the President expects of us,
(30:52):
the people who work in these jobs, is to be
on call twenty four to seven and do everything possible
to advance the agenda. And if you look at this,
go open the pace of activity over the last six weeks,
we've the President Trump has crammed eight years of action
into six weeks. But even that understates it, because nay,
(31:13):
many president in the last you know, decades, generations, who's
done anything this good in eight years, let alone in
six weeks.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
Right.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
In other words, other presidents come in, they just tinker
around the edges or make thing its dramatically worse. We
went in under President Trump's leadership and fundamentally reformed this
government at every level in six weeks. But then it's
just the beginning, he said last night, we were just
getting started, and you're going to continue to see a
flurry of transformative actions that are going to change this
(31:43):
government forever. They change that the America has been wanting their
entire lives, our whole lives, the bureaucracy has been untouched, unbothered,
doing whatever they want to do. He's imposing democratic control
over the bureaucracy, and you're just seeing the beginning of
that effort completely rewiring our whole US immigration system to
establish a policy of absolutely no one lawful entry into
(32:05):
the United States, combined with the mass removal of those
who are here illegally right now, and having the military
be at the front and center of that mission. As
we have seen. And by the way, you and I
talked about that, you know, probably a year maybe more ago,
about how central the military is going to be in
this operation, and now you've seen how true that is.
And President Trump is the first president since Eisenhower to
(32:28):
use the military to secure the homeland of the United
States from illegal immigration. And on issue after issue, you're
going to continue to see that level and scope and
pace of change. And so I would just say, as
excited as you've been these last six weeks, just wait
till you see what happened in the next six weeks.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Outstanding stuff, Stephen Miller. Keep up the good work.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
I hope at some point you get to watch a
television show to dial back a bit. But we appreciate
everything you and your family are doing.

Travis and Buck Sexton telling it like it is.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Steven Miller, who was just with us. Buck has three
super young children. His wife has also been working a
lot around the White House. They're both fantastic. But I
do think and I appreciate the time good guy he's
(34:49):
been on with us for a lot over the last
four years. As many of you who listen out there
are aware, I do think a lot of times when
many of us are waking up and we put on
our televis visions and we say, hey man, this is
another huge win. Sometimes we forget about the people that
are grinding, oftentimes behind the scenes, fifteen twenty hour days,
(35:13):
working all the time to try to remake the country
to the best of their ability in what is a
limited timeframe. And I do think we need to make
sure that we say thank you to those people when
we can, because Buck, you know, I mean, these jobs,
they're not jobs, they're lifestyles. You can't do this halfway.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, And it's the early days for this administration, and.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Things are going to get interesting.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
They're already very interesting, but I mean they're gonna be
battles ahead. They're going to be very long nights and
very difficult discussions and all of that. So we thank
those who are working in this Trump White House taking
all the link right now, it's just taking all the wins,
and they're not tired of winning. But there will be
slings and arrows down the line, and we're going to
continue to follow here on Clan Buck and enjoy every
(36:00):
moment of it with all of you. I'm gonna go
enjoy Nashville.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I hope I.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Don't get blown away by the wind here though, Clay,
you didn't warn me about this.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Not used to this in Miami. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
The wind here this last couple of days, we've got
a big dinner looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
We appreciate all of you enjoy These are.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
The winning times. We'll be back with you all tomorrow.
Thanks for hanging with us.
Welcome in third hour of Clay and Buck kicks off. Now,
appreciate you being here with us, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We've got a.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Lot to dive into. Still, the speech from last night
some news that has broken this morning. Overall, I think.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
The speech is.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Something that was very effective. I think the numbers show that.
I think the perception on the right is that Trump
is dialed in and is doing a fantastic job. And
Democrats will never admit any of this, of course, but
their opposition to him is so lackluster and ineffective that
I think that speaks louder than anything they could say,
(00:38):
which is proof further proof that Trump is on the
right track. America is back, and we are in the
dawn of the Golden Age of America. Clay, I don't
think we played this one yet. If we did, apologies,
but we could always hit it again. It is CNN's
David Chalie. Do we play him in the very beginning
(00:58):
of the show. We might have, But here he is,
this has cut eight, and he's saying, according to CNN's
snappole or whatever it is that they do their instapol,
these are the numbers when it comes to positivity and
reacting to Trump's speech.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Play it to the results. What was your reaction to
Trump's speech?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Forty four percent of speech watchers and our instant potent
to night say they had a very positive reaction to
Trump's speech, twenty five percent somewhat positive, thirty one percent negative.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Sixty nine percent of Americans, this is what it says
on the sheet had a had a positive or very
positive reaction to President Trump's speech. So I don't know,
is that incorrect, guys, because that was the numvel added
up strongly positive.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Okay, So the point here is sixty nine percent thought
that it was either good or great, which means that
you're looking at a seventy percent approval of the speech overall,
the tone, overall. It's tough to get seventy percent of
Americans to agree on much of anything these days.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Trump has strung together a large coalition built around common sense,
and Democrats have combated his common sense revolution by going
further over the woke waterfall, and again, I think just
delegitimizing themselves as a legitimate party. And I know this
(02:28):
because I see and hear and meet so many of
you out there, this audience for this show in particular,
is growing in record amounts because the rest of the
media has totally lost its mind. And I do think
this is significant. More Democrats watch Fox News than watch
(02:51):
MSNBC or CNN now and if you are looking out there,
I mean sometimes I saw Brett Behar's interview with Zolensky.
He had a seventy five percent new share. Seventy five percent,
And if you are now a Democrat politician, you're like, Hey,
we should go on Fox News to actually talk to Democrats.
(03:13):
I don't think that's crazy for this show either. If
I were Eric Adams and I was running for mayor
of New York City and I were trying to figure
out how to address a huge audience of potential voters,
I would be begging to come on WR our affiliate
in New York City and talk to this audience. The
same thing for Andrew Cuomo. If you're trying to talk
to the biggest possible audience out there, it feels to
(03:34):
me like Democrats have painted themselves into a corner, and
they keep painting themselves into a smaller and smaller corner.
And Trump's speech, if you take away Trump's involvement from it,
I thought he was great when he pointed it out
with RFK Junior. Remember, they talked and wrote about what
a master stroke putting RFK Junior would have been for
(03:56):
Obama in his cabinet. And Trump rightly pointed out during
the speech that when he gave a shout out to
RFK Junior, if Obama had done it, everybody would have
cheered like crazy on the Democrat side of the aisle.
And the way that this started, Buck and we talked
about this off the top with Al Green and his
cane haranguing Trump and being forced to be evicted from
(04:21):
the chambers. Remember, it wasn't very long ago that it
was considered uncouth, unacceptable behavior. I believe it was in
two thousand and nine. For the Republican in the crowd
to yell out you lie to Obama, that was considered
to be beyond the pale. He had to apologize. Democrats
(04:44):
took a ton of flak for it. Basically, there were
thirty or so interruptions and Republicans That's what I'm saying.
Back in two thousand and nine and now you've got
I don't think it's crazy to say the people who
were in that chamber say that much of the disruption
wasn't picked up by the audio, but there were constantly
(05:04):
people walking out. The al green thing was impossible to ignore.
Democrats have lost their minds, and they lost the ability
to even connect with their basic humanity when they're not
standing up for a thirteen year old kid who's being
honored as a Secret Service agent because of his commitment
(05:26):
having overcome brain cancer to.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The police.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And I loved that moment Buck for many reasons, but
in particular because it finally feels we were talking about
BLM plaza, we're swinging back away from police are everything
that is awful in America. It used to be an
aspirational goal to be a police officer for many young
kids out there of all different backgrounds, and it feels
like we're finally starting to recognize, hey, police are the
(05:54):
good guys again. Well, police in America, by the numbers,
are phenomenal and given especially what they have to deal
with in high crime neighborhoods, the numbers show that we
have an incredibly well trained, professional, and humane and constitutional
law enforcement. But that's not what Democrats want people to
(06:14):
believe because it's easier to put the blame on the
police than to look at other problems and challenges. But
you know, I was thinking about this, Clay, you probably
had this experience. We haven't talked much about our I mean,
you know, high school athletics. But remember when you were
on a pretty good team and if you lost a
close game to somebody when you're a kid.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I mean I'm thinking about you know, basketball, soccer, sports
I played, you were like, oh man, I can't You
were looking on the schedule and you couldn't wait to
play them again. You walked off that field if it
was a really tough game and you felt, you know,
oh we were robbed.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
We could have won. And I don't know if you've
ever had this.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I've also had the other thing where you get so
obliterated because you played like the state select team or something,
when they're just in another level. You're like, I never
want to see those guys again. That's really that was
a real tough one. I don't I don't want to
ever have to come up against. Democrats are looking a
little bit like that these days in terms of where
they are as a political party. You know, they look
(07:10):
like they have been completely gobsmacked. Jake Tapper, who's busy
promoting the book on the Biden lie. Hmm, very suspect
here he is saying over at CNN, this has cut
four that the Democrats are totally demoralized.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
You can really sense Republicans with a pep in their
step and Democrats rather demoralized. I mean, understandably so, given
the fact that Republicans control the House, the Senate, and
the White House, not to mention a conservative lean on
the US Supreme Court. But beyond that, even when Republicans
(07:49):
are out of power, you sense like an energy quite
often when and when when Democrats are controlling things. The Democrats,
and not to be cliche about it, but they are
in dis array.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
They do not know how to be the opposition for us.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, here's the easiest way to put it, Clay.
We can't we sit here and it's not even clear
who we should be publicly arguing with on the Democrat
side to tackle whatever the opposition to Trump's policies may be.
There doesn't seem this is like in Troy when Brad
Pitt defeats the giant guy and then he's like, is
(08:26):
there anybody else? And no one comes forward. There does
not seem to be anybody else on the Democrat side.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I like your analogy about the sports. I'll take it
to coaching, because that's what I've done more recently. I
was coaching twelve U basketball a couple of years ago,
I think, and one of the team we played against,
every kid had a mustache. And I don't know how
that was possible, but any of you who have coached
(08:54):
like Little league baseball or like adolescent moving towards as
soon as a kid has a mustache, he's got some testosterone.
It's not little boy ball anymore. Somehow, we played against
the team where every kid had a mustache. And I remember,
I'm twelve you I remember taking a time out and
I don't know, we were down like thirty.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
To six or something.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I mean, these kids were just I mean it was
like I was like coaching the Washington Generals against the
Harlem Globe Trotters right now. I was the Generals and uh,
and the kids come over and uh. And you know,
as a coach, you just got nothing, like there is nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
You got this.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
You got the board, you know, buck where you're like, hey,
let me draw the play, and the play's not gonna work,
like and they don't play. It's not gonna work there.
You know, I was joking afterwards with their dads. I
think some of these kids, I think some of these
kids drove here. You know, it's twelve you basketball kids
like pulling up in their own I think some of
them have kids themselves. And uh and and like I'm
sitting there with the dry erase board and uh and
(09:51):
I feel like the Democrats right now are like me
in that game buck. They've got the dry erase board. Literally,
they had the dry erase boards in the in the
house chamber and they're just writing like pay your taxes,
elon steeles and and these are not game plans that
are going to work. But they're so utterly defeated right now.
(10:13):
They don't even have a strategy to respond to the opposition.
And to your point, they don't even have somebody who
can step forward and you can be like, oh, that's
the guy or that's the gal who is going to
elucidate their worldview better than someone else. I don't ever
remember seeing a void like this.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
They're usually in a way I haven't seen it happen.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Usually the leadership of a political party is in a
moment like this. I would say, fractured between a few
different competing voices. That would be far more normal. Right,
you look back to Trump's first term, you had, you know,
the Obama and Obama heights around him, obviously, Joe Biden,
(10:55):
you had Elizabeth Warren, you had Bernie Sanders. Now I
understand they're still but their potency as political figures has
dramatically declined. And with Bertie Sanders, he's just so old
no one thinks he's going to be president, So they're not.
It's not just that they don't have a single person.
They don't even have a stable of people who are
(11:15):
trying to emerge. And it's not just about those individuals,
it's about what the message may be when they do
things like say Elon is stealing. They're trying to make
an argument to normal, everyday Americans that the richest man
in the world has decided to put himself in the
cross hairs of lunatics because he cares a little bit
(11:38):
about the stock price going up on one of his
many hundreds of billions of dollar value companies. And they're
effectively arguing Clay that a literal or soon to be
trillionaire needs a five percent bump in a stock when
an actuality he's taken on tremendous headaches. This is just
an irrational argument, but it reminds me of if you've
(11:58):
ever I don't know if any of you have ever
in this position where you've been right in an argument
with somebody, maybe somebody very close to you, and you're
right on the merits, and then all of a sudden,
it's I don't like your tone. They're tone policing Elon
with Oh, but the way he's doing it is and
I agree with the cuts. I agree with ending the fraud,
but I don't like the way he's doing it. It's
(12:20):
too haphazard, Clay, that's not a serious argument against it, right.
This is not a you either want it to happen
or not. No one's ever done it before. Do you
want it to happen? Yes or no? They play this
game of oh, we want the same result, we would
just go about it differently, even though they've never actually
done that, and all they do is make it harder
to get to the result. I think people are seeing
(12:41):
through it. So this is why I believe it's also
getting increasingly pathetic for them, because with their arguments being made,
it's backing them into a more difficult corner.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
The arguments are awful, they aren't supported by the vast
majority of the American public, and you actually you are
ending up. I mean, we come back. I'll play audio
clip of Jasmine Crockett, who somehow has become a prominent
spokesperson for the Democrat Party. She's a moron and she
actually alienates far more people than she would ever bring in.
(13:15):
And that's kind of where we are in terms of
people clamoring to be the official spokesperson of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
You know, you spoke about it as from the coach perspective, Clay,
Just real quick. I played in a in a basketball
tournament in the eighth grade when I was playing a
fair amount of basketball, So I was very young, young
I guess I'm fourteen or something like that at that point,
and someone dunked that we were playing against. Someone dunked, yeah,
and I remember it's like it's all over. Just with that,
(13:42):
You're like, this is not gonna go. Well, it's a
bit like Trump dunked on the Democrats last night. And
they're at that phase of basketball where they like to
just touch the bottom of the net and think that
that's cool.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
No, no, no, no, you want to be able to dunk.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
It reminds me of somebody yelling back door, you know where,
like somebody's and then you're already dunked on before you
could even react. But to your point, I bet that
kid had a mustache, and I bet he was pretty
far along on puberty.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Only fifteen or sixteen, you know what I mean. Fifteen
or sixteen, big difference from thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
So yeah, when you're stopping the backboard on your layup
and then somebody else is dunking, you're at a competitive disadvantage.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think that's fair to say.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I want to tell you about something a week from today.
I want to invite you to join me for a
great moment online before this program starts next Wednesday, I
get to do something really excited with my dad appearing
online in a conversation you don't want to miss. This
has far more to do with my father's expertise than
anything I'm doing day to day. But you'll find it
really interesting, and some of you could find it very
beneficial too. You know, I grew up in New York
(14:40):
City and a Wall Street family. My dad was a
stockbroker made his living researching and predicting where the markets
would go.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
He was really good at it.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And that's one way of introducing the fact that next
Wednesday he's going to be making a big prediction on
a video seminar and a big forecast on the markets
is going to be what he presents. Write this day
down Mark twelve at eleven am eastern eight am on
the West Coast. It will be online and video form
super easy for you to register, free of charge online. Look,
(15:08):
my dad made a name for himself back in eighty seven.
He called the Crash on television in fact, eleven days
before it happened, and then he also called the crash
in two thousand and nine for his clients. The predictions
are too numerous to mention all here, but the latest
one's coming on March twelfth. Register online for it and
see us an hour before this program starts. To sign up,

You know him as conservative radio hosts, now just get
to know them as guys on this Sunday Hang podcast
with Clay and Fuck. Find it in their podcast feed
on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back in Clay Travis bock Sexton Show. The talkback
has become a big hit and you guys are often
(15:59):
hysteric on them. Producer Greg listening to them all the time.
Let's listen to some of your talkbacks, Phoenix KFYI weigh
and in what you got for us?
Speaker 6 (16:08):
When you first said that you were fantasizing about Megan Markle,
somebody slammed the door and I thought it was Megan Rapino.
So I forgive you for at least fantasizing about Megan Markle.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
It wasn't a fantasy. It was an uncomfortable dream where
we were baking together at an adult extended education camp.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
To be fair.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
To be fair, Clay, it was a confectionery fantasy, or
perhaps a baked goods day dream.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well, which you guys on social media have taken and
run with AI and it is pretty extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
CC.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Let's see this is, by the way, Meghan Rapino. That

Speaker 7 (17:03):
There's only one way to explain your Megan Merkel dream. Clearly,
Kid Rock doosed you with some hallucinogen last night. So
if I were you, I'd be talking to Kid Rock
about easing off on the drugs when you're around, because
you might have sipped the wrong drink class night.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I think he's right.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I think Kid Rock might have dosed me, and that
might be why I was at Kid Rock's honky tonk
last night.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That might be why I was edge against persistent inflation.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Welcome back into Clay and Bucks. Steven Miller, White House
Deputy Chief of Staff, joins us right now. Steven, appreciate
you making the time of breaking from your twenty one
twenty two hour workdays at this White House to fill
us in on Well, first, the aftermath of a highly
successful speech. Did it all come off as you guys intended,
(18:58):
and what should we be expecting here in days ahead.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Well, first, it's great to be back on the air
with you. I think it's the first time I've been
on the air with you since President Trump was inaugurated
back into the White House, so it's great to be
on with you, and I enjoyed getting the chance to
come on your air many times during the four years
between term one and term two, and it's very enjoyable
(19:23):
to be here now calling you from the West wing
of the White House.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So thank you.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
The speech last night went more incredibly than we could
have ever even hoped. And of course we always know
that these massive, internationally watched musty TV events for President
Trump are where he truly thrives. But even by those
extremely high standards, this speech exceeded their expectations. And of course,
(19:54):
at the same time, Democrats humiliated themselves before that same
international human the audience, behaving in a way that really
shocks the conscious of the country. I mean, it wasn't
just it wasn't just dissurfing. It was really profoundly sinister.
(20:14):
I mean, to not stand in honor victims and their
families who have been murdered by illegal aliens, to not
stand in honor children. A child thirteen year old who
is battling brain cancer is beginning to live out his
(20:34):
dream and become, to his surprise and honorary Secret Service agent,
and to see all the inspiring stories and heroes and
a border agent who exchanged gunfire with a cartel, A
girl who was who suffered a severe brandury because she
(20:55):
was spiked in the face by a male athlete. I mean,
story are of people who overcome hardship, adversity, unimaginable loss.
I was there last night. I was stunned the Democrats
didn't stand to honor these Americans in their stories.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
What do you attribute that to, Stephen?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Do you think?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I'm curious? I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I think it was the best speech that Trent. Thanks
for coming on, and we're proud of all the work
you're doing. I think it was the best speech that
Trump has ever given in his career, not only based
on how he did, but I agree with you, and.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
I appreciated you, or we appreciate you were saying so
posting on X last night, so that's not going to notice.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Thank you well, it's well deserved. You guys are busting
your ass. And I thought it was a stellar performance
by Trump, and you guys had weaved so many perfect
narratives together to give people attention in the gallery there.
Why do you think Democrats have so lost their way?
Because leave aside politics, Stephen, it's basic humanity to cheer
(21:56):
for a thirteen year old who's overcome brainking answer, it's
basic humanity to cheer for a ninety five year old
mother who gets her son back from Russian captivity. These
are not political related concerns. I talk some with people afterwards,
and they said, the left wing has so taken control
of social media that all of these Democrats are terrified
(22:19):
to be seen as in any way applauding anything the
president does. And also there's a crazy level of groupthink
that has destroyed them. What do you attribute this to?
Because it's not normal, it's super weird, and I know
Tim Wallace tried to say Republicans were weird, but it's
also profoundly inhumane to me, Leaving aside the politics.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Oh, you're right, I mean, it displays a shocking absence
of humanity at a very fundamental level, at a human level.
You know, you see these You see these people who
have suffered and endured loss and pain that people can't
even imagine. How do you not stand and honor them?
(23:04):
How do you not show any kind of respect or
decency in that moment? It really does defy any attempt
to describe it or understand it. The presidentship at the
beginning of a speech, challenge democrats too, for just one night,
put aside their own petty and personal and partisan feelings
(23:25):
and celebrate big wins for America. For example, like you mentioned,
getting somebody back who is in who's improperly detained in
Russia to be reunited with their family would be an
example of a big win for America that everybody should.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Stand up in applause.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Or capturing the terrorists behind the Abbegate murder of thirteen
US service members, these are things that you would think
everybody would riotously applaud because there's such a huge win
for the country, such a huge win for our people.
It does defy description. I have to say that. I
(24:03):
think what's happened is the Democrat Party as an institution
has become severely radicalized. I'm not using that term as
an insult, although they deserve it. I'm using it clinically.
I'm saying they've clinically.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Become radicalized the way that the closed society or a
cult or or some of the social group does that
lacks any kind of outside input, any kind of exposure
to alternate points of view, and the more time they
spend with each other, and you sort of alluded to
it in the close social media circle as well too.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
The more extreme, the more radical they become, to the
points in which here's a good example, Mark Werner was
on Senator Mark Warner was on TV recently. He accidentally
said something good the day before about President Trump's work
on the border, and then he went on TV the
next day to take it back and apologize forever, even
in p or suggesting that President Trump had done anything
(25:02):
good on the border. Again, this is the same political party,
as you know, that has venerated criminals.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
For years and years and years.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
That has venerated people who have engaged in violent contact
like Black Lives Matter rioters for years, and they couldn't
even stand for the family of Lake and Riley who
is barbarically murdered by a legal immigrant from El Salvador.
(25:31):
It really, it just it's a crystalizing moment in terms
of where we are as a country. We have one
political party, the Republicans, led by Donald Trump, that is
broadly fighting for issues at eighty eighty five percent of
Americans agree on. Then we have another political party that
is lost in the wilderness and has gone completely mad.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
We're speaking to Stephen Miller, White House Deputy chief of Staff,
and Stephen, give us if you can. I know you can,
and so give us, if you will a sense of
what is coming next here on the agenda. We've seen
a lot of the executive orders. We didn't get to
it earlier today, but a federal judge decided that he
could determine on his own that two billion dollars must
(26:15):
be paid for a USAID contract. Supreme Court five to
fours come down and is essentially mandating that payment. So
we know that the courts are going to be a battleground.
What are you expecting with regard to that, and also
what can we expect when it comes to immigration enforcement
and some of the major operations that have certainly been
hinted at well.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
I mean, the district court judge issue is a very
severe one, perhaps one of the most severe. So it's
important to understand there's seven hundred more or less district
court judges nationwide, or about six hundred and eighty district
court judges nationwide, a larger number than many people might imagine.
(27:00):
And so when you shoot the term federal judge and
join something, we're talking about one person from a pool
of almost seven hundred, so large than the number of
House Democrats by a significant margin. For example, a subset
of those federal judges are equally as radical assay Al
(27:20):
Green who was escorted from the chamber last night, or
elin Omar or an aoc et cetera. And so we
have a situation now as a country where again these
are people that you know, Biden or Obama forced through
on a party line vote that got you know, zero
national attention, because, let's be honest, very little national coverage
(27:40):
of a you know, a district court judge being appointed
to say San Francisco. And so you have a single
district court judge that is the that it sort of
represents one percent of the American population ideologically, that gets
to assert the powers of the presidency for themselves and says,
I'm going to be the president.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Now, I'm going.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
To decide what our foreign policy is. I'm going to
decide what foreign aid we're going to fund, are not
going to fund. And it's breathtakingly unconstitutional. The founding fathers
would have been horrified that anything even resembling Legers described
could happen. And clearly the Supreme Court is going to
(28:21):
need to establish new rules and procedures for district court
injunctions because it deprives the American people of their ability
to exercise democracy. And there was you vote for a
change in policy, you elect a new president, you can't
have district court judges preventing that president from executing the
policies that he campaigned on. So talking to Stephen real
(28:45):
and a very serious, very direct threat to democracy in
our democratic system of government. And clearly there's going to
need to be reforms.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
We know that you are walking working, Stephen Miller with
US now White House Deputy chief of Staff that are
probably extraordinary. I know you have three young kids as well.
I know your wife has also been working like crazy.
Take it outside of the policy world for a moment.
What is your average day like right now? There's a
(29:15):
lot of parents out there that have serious jobs.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
What are you doing on a day to day basis?
What is your day like?
Speaker 4 (29:23):
And then second part of this, and I texted you
about this because before in the four years when you
were on with US regularly, we established your affinity for
Karate Kid and the Cobra Kai series, which I set
around on February thirteenth and watched with my three boys.
Have you had any moments of just non work basically
(29:43):
since January twentieth, or frankly even since November fifth? What's
your day to day life like right now?
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Yes? Well, so, unfortunately I have not had the chance
to watch the last installments, so no spoilers here, please.
I will you're safe for kai because because I have
not at the back kind of time. But maybe I'll
be able to get a chance to catch an episode
here or there in the near future, because obviously I've
(30:10):
invested a lot into the series personally and emotionally, so
I'm definitely going to finish it. But let me to
answer your other question. Look, when you work in the
White House, when you work more specifically in the West
Wing as a senior age of the President, you know
you're on twenty four to seven and so, and you're
on wherever you are. There's no such thing as being
(30:31):
off the clock. The notion of working hours and non
working hours doesn't exist. If you're awake, you're working, and frankly,
the if you're asleep, you're about to be working, because
you're gonna get a phone call while you're sleeping. But
That's exactly what we signed up for. That's what the
Amact of People expect of us, that's what the taxpayers
expect of us. That's what the President expects of us,
(30:52):
the people who work in these jobs, is to be
on call twenty four to seven and do everything possible
to advance the agenda. And if you look at this,
go open the pace of activity over the last six weeks,
we've the President Trump has crammed eight years of action
into six weeks. But even that understates it, because nay,
(31:13):
many president in the last you know, decades, generations, who's
done anything this good in eight years, let alone in
six weeks.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
Right.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
In other words, other presidents come in, they just tinker
around the edges or make thing its dramatically worse. We
went in under President Trump's leadership and fundamentally reformed this
government at every level in six weeks. But then it's
just the beginning, he said last night, we were just
getting started, and you're going to continue to see a
flurry of transformative actions that are going to change this
(31:43):
government forever. They change that the America has been wanting their
entire lives, our whole lives, the bureaucracy has been untouched, unbothered,
doing whatever they want to do. He's imposing democratic control
over the bureaucracy, and you're just seeing the beginning of
that effort completely rewiring our whole US immigration system to
establish a policy of absolutely no one lawful entry into
(32:05):
the United States, combined with the mass removal of those
who are here illegally right now, and having the military
be at the front and center of that mission. As
we have seen. And by the way, you and I
talked about that, you know, probably a year maybe more ago,
about how central the military is going to be in
this operation, and now you've seen how true that is.
And President Trump is the first president since Eisenhower to
(32:28):
use the military to secure the homeland of the United
States from illegal immigration. And on issue after issue, you're
going to continue to see that level and scope and
pace of change. And so I would just say, as
excited as you've been these last six weeks, just wait
till you see what happened in the next six weeks.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Outstanding stuff, Stephen Miller. Keep up the good work.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
I hope at some point you get to watch a
television show to dial back a bit. But we appreciate
everything you and your family are doing.

Travis and Buck Sexton telling it like it is.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Steven Miller, who was just with us. Buck has three
super young children. His wife has also been working a
lot around the White House. They're both fantastic. But I
do think and I appreciate the time good guy he's
(34:49):
been on with us for a lot over the last
four years. As many of you who listen out there
are aware, I do think a lot of times when
many of us are waking up and we put on
our televis visions and we say, hey man, this is
another huge win. Sometimes we forget about the people that
are grinding, oftentimes behind the scenes, fifteen twenty hour days,
(35:13):
working all the time to try to remake the country
to the best of their ability in what is a
limited timeframe. And I do think we need to make
sure that we say thank you to those people when
we can, because Buck, you know, I mean, these jobs,
they're not jobs, they're lifestyles. You can't do this halfway.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, And it's the early days for this administration, and.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Things are going to get interesting.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
They're already very interesting, but I mean they're gonna be
battles ahead. They're going to be very long nights and
very difficult discussions and all of that. So we thank
those who are working in this Trump White House taking
all the link right now, it's just taking all the wins,
and they're not tired of winning. But there will be
slings and arrows down the line, and we're going to
continue to follow here on Clan Buck and enjoy every
(36:00):
moment of it with all of you. I'm gonna go
enjoy Nashville.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I hope I.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Don't get blown away by the wind here though, Clay,
you didn't warn me about this.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Not used to this in Miami. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
The wind here this last couple of days, we've got
a big dinner looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
We appreciate all of you enjoy These are.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
The winning times. We'll be back with you all tomorrow.
Thanks for hanging with us.
