Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our three of clay En Bock kicks off now, thanks
for being here with us. A lot going on. We've
got a governor of New Jersey suggested on television play
you see this one that he was harboring an illegal migrant,
and Tom Homan the borders are pointed out. If that
(00:20):
is in fact true, that will be looked at and
investigated because that is a violatory of federal statue. So
we will we will get to that in a little bit.
That's a little reminder just how comfortable with defiance of
the law, with breaking of the law Democrats have become
that they will allude on the air to perhaps breaking
(00:45):
laws when it comes to immigration with no fear, were
no concern whatsoever. Well, maybe that's changing. We shall discuss that.
But the big thing going on right now we wanted
to dive into is Elon Musk is giving the federal
bureaucracy a very thorough exam. He's got the rubber gloves
(01:05):
on and he is checking it out, seeing what's going on.
And it turns out that there's a lot of problems
and waste and it's a mess, and so he's looking
to have the Trump administration chop things down, cut things up,
feed it into the wood chipper. As he has said,
(01:26):
part of this is the buyout package that was offered,
which only twenty thousand federal workers out of two million
have taken up the offer on this. They have until
Thursday to decide if they will take eight months pay
and benefits in exchange for voluntarily resigning walking away. Yes, Clay,
(01:50):
I just think if this number ends up being true,
and to your point, they have what another two days
to theoretically sign up, it's one percent right now, so
far less than one percent. What how cushy are these jobs?
If that few people will actually take this offer. Because
(02:11):
I will tell you right now, I guarantee you way
more than one percent of the people that are listening
to us right now. If you were told, hey, you
get paid through February and you can just walk away
and go find a new job, I bet twenty five
percent of the people listening to us right now would
take that offer, at least because your jobs tend to
(02:35):
be tough and you might not like them very much,
and you would say, Okay, I'll take that payment and
I'll go find something else. I don't think it's crazy
to think that a quarter of you listening to us
right now would take it. Heck, some of you who are.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Near retirement would be like, hallelujah, I get to leave
eight months early and I'm gonna get paid through September.
I'll sign up for that in a heartbeat. My point
on it, Buck is if these numbers end up being true,
just shows you how cushy these jobs are and how
little drive and ambition and industry a lot of these
employees have. Because they're not thinking, oh, I'll go find
(03:10):
something better. They know that they have found the ultimate
in don't have to do anything and get paid reliably
and my work product doesn't matter job, which means all
of us, the taxpayers funding their salaries, are getting screwed.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Let me tell you something about having a long time
ago before this remote work from home stuff was even
really technologically feasible. Although on the national security side you
can't do it because of classification concerns, right, but for
people who work it, you know, Department of Agriculture EPA,
places like that, this is definitely going to be the
case play. Whether it was at the CIA or in
(03:48):
the Intelligence Division of the NYPD. They always wanted to
have fit like when you were on the clock. They
wanted to have physical control of where you were, or know,
positive control of your location, your butt in the chair
in the office or in the cubicle, and that's where
you had to be because there was really not very
(04:11):
much they could do to enforce work product, but they
could enforce presence. So the one thing about working for
the federal government until until COVID, until very recently was yeah, okay,
you know, there's a lot that you can get with
a lot of shenanigans, a lot of wandering the hallways
in the building. You can do a lot of you know,
(04:32):
waiting in line for coffee, et cetera. But you have
to be there, that's the thing. And if you're you
punch in at nine and you leave at five, they
can monitor it. You'll put that's what you're you're expected
to do. This has changed such that now the only
really quantifiable thing for a lot of these jobs, your
physical presence in the workplace is gone. And this is
(04:55):
just if you think about it, what are people doing
at home who work for some of these department where
no everyone's virtual. They're all sitting there watching TV and
playing video games, and maybe they got a computer on
and they, you know, press a button every fifteen minutes,
so it looks like they're active. They're not doing a
damn thing, a lot of them at least, So that's
(05:16):
what has been exposed by this. Another thing, Clay Elon
must put out this twenty five minutes ago, would you
like Doze to audit the IRS? You will be unsurprised
to find out that over ninety percent of the hundreds
of thousands of votes are saying yes, they would like
to see how the IRS uses taxpayer dollars. And then
(05:38):
that brings me to the next shoe that I think
is going to drop. Courtesy of Uncle Elon. Trump administration
is drafting an executive order to initiate the Department of
Education's elimination. CNN reporting on this one UH. The move
would come in two parts. The order would direct the
(06:00):
Secretary of Education to create a plan to diminish the
department through executive action, and Trump would also push for
Congress to pass legislation to end the department. As those
working on the order acknowledge shutting the department would it
would require congress involvement. Clay the two parts. First, Jimmy
Carter was the one who this is the one that
(06:20):
I was thinking of. Jimmy Carter created the Education Department.
Department of Education. The first part of this is is
a given, but it's interesting. They're basically trying to clip
the wings of the doe, if you will. I mean
they're trying to make it. I don't know how many
of your own birds, but that means the bird can't
really fly normally. They're trying to make it so that
(06:42):
I had a bird for a little while. It's a
long story. You have a little while? What kind of bird?
A cockatial? Oh my god, that was an awful decision
by you. Well, my parents agreed with you because we
gave it back to the pet store.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Where my sister had. My sister had a bird, and
the damn thing never shut up. I mean it was
it makes a very high noise. It was actually quite
I actually liked the bird's quite affectionate. But they, uh,
there's no potty training them and they just keep going
and going and going wherever. And uh they had like
a little retractive a mohawk. My cockatial. I liked my cockatial.
But anyway, we don't have to get into that now.
It's sad. It didn't last just apparently a decision. Your parents,
(07:19):
you're really poor. They didn't want to they didn't want
to get a dog yet for us. So they eventually
got a dog and that was the right move. So
the intermediary was, I had a cockatial and I think
it lasted like I don't know, my parents say weeks,
I think a few months point being you returned it,
can you return to animals somehow?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
My dad, yeah, my dad would just like take this,
take this cockatial back, and they took it back.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, to the pest. I didn't know, all right, that's good. Yeah, yeah,
mine got it. My sisters got knocked the cat knocked
it over, and it flew out of the uh into
a Nashville winter day and probably didn't last very long.
I wouldn't imagine in the in the tree, like you
could see it in the tree. The leaves were all gone.
It was bright, you know, blue pink or whatever it was.
(08:00):
And I don't know. I guess it probably froze to death.
It was a dark dark into the Travis family caucas
This is this is taking a dark turn. I mean,
but I guess maybe the cat shouldn't have tried to
eat it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I guess, but you know how I knew that the
bird was not was not long for the I think
I was like eight or nine when this was going on.
My dad reached into, you know, he had been told
to be patient. He reached in to grab the bird,
and it bit him because they have a meat. They
have a mean little beak if you try to get
rough with them, and it bit him, and I was like,
(08:33):
this bird is not long for this world. I was
just glad there weren't tiny drumsticks on the I just
remember how loud that damn bird was. If you didn't
have the cover on top of the cage, it never
shut up. I mean it was incessant. I mean, Carrie
can't hear this right now, although she could probably listen
to the show on podcasts, but she's doing something else.
If she would let me, I would get a bird. Anyway.
All right, let's go back. Let's go back to what
(08:54):
is important here in saving the country. Uh So, so
the part one Clay basically cutting the budget, slashing the
budget down or slashing the everything that the executive branch
can do, closing down as much of the Department education
as possible, so that it is kind of like neutered
and then trying to get Congress to go along with
(09:15):
just shut the whole damn thing down. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I so, first of all, the challenge here is that
these guys are going to try to sue to keep
their jobs. So what you should expect is they're going
to try to fire people, and these federal employees are
going to say, because of their incredibly protective unions, that
their contracts don't allow them to be fired. So we
(09:42):
are going to end up in a multi year battle.
This is why offering buyouts makes sense at so many companies,
because it's actually.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Very difficult to fire people.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I didn't know this until I started running a company,
because I just assumed that I could always get fired
left and right, and I've been fired left and right.
But when you are a union employee, as most of
these government employees are to my knowledge, Buck, it becomes
really really hard to get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So I love the idea.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I've said it before, I wish and I think this
is where Elon is going to get frustrated because the
analogy here is very comparable. The email that he sent
to the government employees is very similar to the one
that he sent to Twitter employees. When you own a
private company, it's way easier to fire people so long
as they aren't members of unions. And it's my understanding
(10:37):
that Twitter was not a union based company, and so
Elon could go in and he could fire most people
or buy them out depending on what their contracts were,
things like that. But when you have union employees, it
becomes incredibly difficult. And so I suspect that that's why
they're trying to get people to leave voluntarily. Because while
the goal may be one that I admire, and I
(11:00):
wish we could fire fifty or seventy five percent of
all federal employees and I don't think taxpayers would miss it,
and I think it would save us trillions of dollars
over the generations ahead. I think we're going to have
major legal challenges and it's going to be ponderous to
get much of this done. That's my concern. I could
be wrong, but the union contracts typically are quite protection protective. Well,
(11:25):
but I think if nothing else, this is going to
force a lot of this out into the open. So
people are going to realize, I mean, even FDR thought
the idea of a public sector union was an abomination.
I mean, it was a whole agree horrible idea, which
is completely true, by the way. Teachers unions, by the way,
(11:45):
probably the worst of all of this. Yes, teachers union
should not exist. If you want to you want to
teach in your local public school, whatever, that's great. That
should be left up to the public school and your
district to determine what your salary and benefits are. There
should not be this collective bargaining with the state through
public sector unions that occurs there. And so yeah, I
think that this is going to force people to look
(12:07):
at this in more detail. I would also say, though,
that because you have elon looking at this, there's many
ways to get it done. And for example, it is
already existing regulation or law that if you are a
new federal government employee at I think it's the EPA
that is covered by this right now, but it's probably
(12:29):
true everywhere Clay, you're technically on probation for the first year,
eighteen months something like that. They've effectively prepared all Biden
hired probationary EPA employees probationary just because they're new, not
because they've actually done anything.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
To be fired. And that they can do under the
existing rules and regulation. So this is now that's only
a thousand, well a thousand people's a lot of people,
but not in a federal government context. Point here is
they're going to find every way they can to pressure
the system to cut it down, to show even just
(13:05):
showing the public what's really going on. And that's where
I think things can get more interesting over the long run.
Buckle up.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The firing of federal employees thing is going to be
really fascinating to see, and I hope, although it doesn't
sound like the numbers are what we had hoped, I
hope way more than twenty thousand people are going to
end up taking these offers to get paid through September.
But if they don't, it gives you a very good
sense for how cushy those jobs really are, because again,
(13:37):
I bet twenty five percent of you would gladly take
a payout through September and go find a new job
because you don't particularly love the jobs you have, and
you'd like to find one that you liked more. If
these federal government jobs were really tough and people didn't
feel like they were getting compensated at their fair market value,
do you think they'd all be trying to keep them.
I just think we're all getting taken advantage of all
(13:59):
the taxpayers are We don't think about it much, but
how prepared are you when it comes to protecting your
home and family from intruders? Most people keep fire extinguishers
no brainer. Having Saber products should be a no brainer too.
They've been manufacturing self protection tools for fifty years, continually
refining and improving them. Sabers Home Defense Projectile Launcher may
just be your ultimate choice for protection. Small enough to
(14:20):
hold in one hand, fires off a round projectile full
of pepper spray, slowing down an intruder in the process.
Sabers protectiles pack a serious non lethal punch. Even if
you miss, they create a six foot pepper cloud upon impact,
causing intense centory irritation for anybody within its reach. Saber
has safeguarded more than one hundred thousand people pepper sprays
(14:42):
and gels, all made in the US. Tons of positive reviews.
We have all of these products in our house. You
can get them not only for you, but for your
teenage kids, maybe for your kids that are off at college,
maybe for your grandkids. Something that is non lethal that
can help to protect them. Makes a ton of sense.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Clay, Travis and buck Sexton mic drops that never sounded
so good. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Welcome back in Play, Travis buck Sexton show. I mentioned
that I'm trying to get my son to prepare for
the eight. I may have made the das the really
bad decision to uh compete with him. So I'm taking
the act tonight for the first time since I was
probably sixteen, not optimistic on many parts of it. Tim
(15:49):
and Charleston, you taught SAT and act prep for forty years.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
What what what tips do you have for me?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Well, it's real simple. Sorry about my voice today, But
you don't look for right answers. The only way to
take a standardized test is you just look for losers.
They know how to write answers that people will like,
and those people think that they're right. Do not even
(16:20):
ever look for the right answer. I actually tell kids
that you know it's the right answer when you've read
it over again and you say to yourself, I may
not like this, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
This, by the way, is right. Answers, Thank you for
the advice. That is the best advice that has ever
been delivered. That also simultaneously sounds like the most terrifying
thing that could be happening.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's like clay. You're locked into a box and the
only life for you to sew your handoff. Yeah, it's
like Jigsaw or something. Just I think he's got he's
got the Jesse Kelly flu. Our friend Jesse Kelly's got
the flu right now too. A lot of people are
coming down with colds, a lot of people sick.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Nose Feratu out there calling in to try to give
us some uh, try to get this team, try to
give us some advice on how I can do better
on it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You know, it's always sad is when when I have
a cold and people look, I like your voice better
when you have a cold on the radio. I was like, well,
maybe I'll just keep my glands swallen forever. You jerk.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
So anyway, I'm this is what I'm gonna do with
my free time today. When I finish work, I'm gonna
try to do it at act. I've not taken one
since I'm sixteen, and I think I may have talked
a little bit too much trash about it. My wife
was like, you need to get him to prep more.
He's not listening to us, and so I was like, well,
I'll challenge him. And uh, I think somehow I'm gonna
be the biggest loser here. What do we got, Uh, chalk?
(17:48):
Maybe maybe I need some chalk to be able to
get through this test. I know I'm gonna need some
chalk to get through the Super Bowl weekend coming up.
I'm flying down tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Lots of events.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It's a lot of work, a lot of fun, but
it takes a lot of energy. And if you're out
there right now, starting off twenty twenty five, and you
can see in the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
One big aspect of the difference between them, even though
it's different in age, the energy. Trump has got unbelievable energy.
Joe Biden didn't have any at all. Do you want
(18:21):
to be more like Trump less like Biden? No matter
what your age is, have the vim bigger vitality you
get through your day. You need to go to Chalk
use my name right now, Clay. You get the best
possible deal on their product for the life of the deal.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
We mentioned this one and it is gonna be fun.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
The very left wing governor of New Jersey, Film Murphy.
I remember him because as a New Yorker at the
time he was awful on COVID, slightly less bombastic than Cuomo,
but equally awful and a tyrant formerly of a Goldman Sacks,
I believe, and I think he was a chairman of
(19:20):
Goldman Sacks. Is that right? Is he the chairman of
Goldman Sacks? I think that's Governor Murphy? Or am I confusing?
Because there's been a couple of senior Goldman guys who
have become the Governor's.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think I think he came out of Goldman Sacks.
I don't know that he was at the very top
of it, but I think he was one of the.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Just because of Goldman. So Murphy, I'm just gonna go
out of limb hear. I get the sense that maybe
he's had a lot of illegals, you know, cleaning his
dishes and uh, you know, trimming the hedges and doing
whatever for a long time. He's very pro illegal, so
much so that he spoke about how he knows and
illegal and maybe he's giving harbor to that illegal, knowing
(20:01):
that's an illegal. And here's what he said, play it.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Tammy and I were talking about I don't want to
get into too much detail, but there's someone in our
broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the
point that they are trying to get it to and
we said, you know what, let's have her live at
our house above our garage. Uh and good luck to
(20:25):
the Fed's coming into to try to get her.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That's interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Good luck.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
What are you going to do? You're going to order
New Jersey State troopers to uh, you know, draw their
draw their service weapons and tell the immigration enforcement of
federal of the federal government that they're not allowed to
enforce the law because you say so, Tom Holman, borders
are You could tell Clay didn't really like this little, uh,
(20:50):
little defiant speech from the government of Jersey. Here's what
the borders are of the federal government under Trump had
to say, play.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
For I think the government's pretty foolish. Same way he said,
because I've gotten hold of it, won't let it go.
We'll look into it. And if he's normally normally harbor
and concealing and illegal iman, that's a violation tide the way,
and I stays called thirteen twenty four, I will seek
(21:16):
prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution. So maybe he's bluffing.
If he's not, we'll deal with that.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
He's saying, you better be bluffing, buddy. I mean, this
is super weird behavior. First of all, in the governor's mansion,
like he's just keeping an illegal immigrant and the person's
just living there. I mean, that's, let's be honest, that's
weird behavior. And then you're taunting the federal government that
(21:47):
if they come and enforce their laws, I mean, does
the I mean, am I the governor has a security detail? Right?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Does the illegal immigrant get wanded in and out of
the house? I mean, I would think this was super
weird if leave aside the illegal angle. If the governor said,
you know, I just really love my gardener. He lives
in the Governor's mansion with me, I'd be like, this
is like not horrible behavior. You know, our janitor is
(22:18):
so good at the governor's mansion that I just told
him I wanted him to move in and live with
me in the house.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I'd be like, oh, you know, each his own.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But this is sounding, you know what I mean, Like,
it's a very strange thing to brag about now.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Well, also clear that it's illegal. Yeah, I get it, governor, right,
but the governor is in what other world? Are you
the governor? Which means you're actually the in effect a
law enforcement executive branch officer for the state of New Jersey,
And you're like, the law just doesn't apply. Sorry, I
can break the law. What is only on? I think
(22:54):
the law isn't the law. It is very funny to
think about other areas.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
If he was like, I mean, I pay for hooks,
I bring him by the house all the time. If
you don't like it, deal with it. You'd be like, well,
you know, I don't know. You should be the governor
began hookers like bragging about breaking a law, no matter
what the law is, when you are the chief executive
of a state. Seems like a really poor decision.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
And didn't he.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Backtrack now and say it's not true? Do we have
to I believe he came back out after this went
megaviral and said, actually, I don't have an illegal immigrant
living in my house.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Very very like, can we track that down?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Maybe we'll play it before the end of the show,
because I think somebody got to him and they were like, Governor,
you could be arrested. And credit to Tom Homan, I
think this would be incredible if he just went in
the governor's office and arrested him and said, hey, you're
harboring an illegal immigrant and you're violating the federal statute
that he laid out, and he took him out in handcuffs.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I actually think it would be amazing. And what is
your defense?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
You admitted to the crime in front of the entire
media audience. Now again, I believe after this went viral,
he walked it back, which buck also makes it super weird.
So he either has an illegal immigrant living at his
house that shouldn't be there, or he lied about having
(24:21):
an illegal immigrant living at his house that shouldn't be there.
Either one is super weird. But now he's taken both
sides of the equation. So he was bragging about doing
something that he didn't actually do, found out that it
was a crime, and now says he didn't do it,
or he's trying to cover his tracks to avoid being arrested.
This guy's not a moron to your point. I mean,
(24:42):
he worked at Goldman Sachs. He has to be able
to read a balance sheet, unlike most Democrats. But remember
he almost lost and Trump publicly lost close. Yeah, Trump only.
And there's a governor's race in New Jersey next year
and Trump only lost New Jersey by five points. And
Scott Press, who basically committed his life to registering Republicans
(25:04):
in Pennsylvania to flip that state. He's got an incredible tenacity.
He now has moved his challenge from Pennsylvania to the
idea I'm gonna flip New Jersey red. And the Trump
people if you talk to him Buck, they say, man,
if we'd had Kamala Harris money, we could have flipped
New Jersey if they only lost by five, if they
(25:24):
had had as much money as Kamala. They feel like
if they had poured resources into New Jersey, they could
have legitimately won the state. And just so you know,
there is no map that leads to Democrats winning the
presidency that doesn't have New Jersey as a bright blue,
unquestionably blue state. So you're starting to look at the
(25:45):
board now, whether it's Virginia, whether it's New Jersey. I
know this is a couple of years away, but you're
starting to look at the board now and saying there's
a lot more pieces that Republicans can put under pressure
than there are places where Democrats can put Republicans under pressure.
It's also interesting to me, Clay that as all these
(26:07):
things are happening and the Trump executive Order blitzkrieg is
fully underway, a lot of the worst people in the
media and in politics are absolutely freaking out about it,
which I have to say, to me is a good thing.
And the more people who you shouldn't listen to and
(26:27):
who have been wrong on everything, and who are dishonest hate.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What is going on? I think the more clear it
is that it is a great thing and this we
need more of this. I bring you. This is Chuck Todd.
Didn't Chuck Todd just decide he's not gonna do uh.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
He's done with NBC. He walked away from NBC and
he's now starting his own good luck venture. Because I
know there's tons of people out there, like, you know,
I'm sorry, I'm laughing Is anybody out there like you
know who I freaking love and media Chuck Todd? Maybe
Chuck Todd's mom. I hope she's alive. I hope she's
a big Chuck Todd fan. But I just is there
anyone who's like, I got to get me more Chuck
(27:03):
Todd content. Does he have a fan, like an actual
fan that he's not related to.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I don't think so. But our buddy Chuck Todd here.
He is very upset about what Elon Musk is doing
eighteen and.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
If democracy is a quote unquote left wing ideology to
Elon Musk, I mean, this man is Unamerican as far
as my definition of America is. And I just the
fact that more people aren't offended by this man's actions.
I mean, it's shows you how much he has helped
successfully destroy the trusted information ecosystem. Because this is a
(27:36):
five alarm fire. Elon Musk is a five alarm fire,
and the country doesn't realize it yet.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
The pearl clutching from Chuck Todd here is really something.
Elon Musk is a five alarm fire. I mean, they're
just so used to having information and propaganda dominance that
they can't stand what Elon has done by opening up
the Internet to free speech.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Well, also, Elon's trying to save all taxpayers money. If
you add to one of the most brilliant people in
American history, and that person said, hey, I think you're
paying way too much for whatever bills you pay, and
he was like, hey, just let me have some of
(28:21):
my most brilliant guys come in look at your accounts.
I think I can save you twenty percent. Would you
be like, this is the biggest threat that I've ever seen,
ever seen to my personal finances or would you be like, man,
maybe it's embarrassing, Like there are lots of reasons why.
I can think people go through the credit card statements
and they're like, you paid this much for all these
(28:41):
streaming companies, Like I'm being personally, you pay one thousand
dollars a year for the Wall Street Journal or whatever
the heck I do. I don't know what it costs
a year. Probably I can see why people look at
it and be like, you're an idiot. You paid how
much for those seats to go watch the Atlanta Braves?
Like there are lots of things on my credit card
bill where people could look at it and be like, hey,
you could have saved a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Of money here.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
But I wouldn't call them real threats if the most
brilliant business people in the world wanted to help give
me advice like he's. This is why the whole argument
of Trump's trying to take over the government by making
it a lot smaller. When has someone ever tried to
take over something by making it way smaller? I mean
(29:24):
an honest question, like, is there any historical analogy where
someone took like, hey, I've got this great idea, I'm
going to decrease the size of our military and give
up less of our land. Like it doesn't even add up.
Their talking points don't logically add up. Well, this is
what I mean by they're just in fits of hysteria.
(29:45):
And I think part of it is they've got that,
they became intellectually flabby. They got used to just the same.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
You know, Trump is hitler, Trump is your fascist. Trump
is the white supremisist. And that used to moved the
needle with their own audience, even if it wasn't honest,
it wasn't true, it wasn't fair, but it would work right,
and it was essentially a stand in for I don't
like Trump. So you could just pout. You could go
on MSNBC and CNN or right for the New York
(30:16):
Times editorial page or the front page, and you could
pout like a little communist baby, kempy, you thank you.
And now everyone, even their own side, looks at them like,
is this all you have? He just won by a
huge margin and crushed us in all the swing states
and is like running rampant all over our left wing
dreams and all you have is be you fascist.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's just not working anymore. And I think that's where
Chuck Todd is.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, and again it doesn't make sense to be a
dictator and actually make the government smaller.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Maybe some of you are smarter than me.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Historically has anyone ever dictated by making the government way smaller.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
He doesn't even but he doesn't even think. He loans
to dick like this is just you know, he's just
throwing a tantrum. It doesn't even matter.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
It's this is why the fascism thing was so funny,
because nobody even knows what a freaking fascist is, right Like,
at least people understand what a racist or a white
supremacist is. By the time they got to fascist, people
can't spell it. They don't know what it is. By
the way, I was right, Phil Murphy, a rep for
Phil Murphy, told The New York Post, We'll play this
(31:19):
audio for you again because it's amazing in conjunction that
New Jersey's governor had been quote misinterpreted and he hadn't
actually been keeping illegal immigrants at his house, even though
he dared the FEDS to come after the migrant. This
is according to the New York Post team sharing that
with me, it's very funny.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I think there might be probable cause there Still I
don't know if you can I don't know if you
could say I robbed the bank and then be like, actually,
I didn't rob the bank. I don't know someone might
need to send the FEDS.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Really really funny. I always love when people say you
misinterpreted me. I mean, well, he's speaking English. We'll play
the audio for you again. It's not that complicated of
a statement. I think he's run scared.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I think so too. With all the winning that we
are experiencing, in the cheering that's going on for all
things MAGA, we all know there's still big problems. We're
in the early stages of watching our side tackle them.
But you have to take the long view, and you
have to look at what's already gone on with inflation
and with the debt. This is where diversification really matters
(32:25):
and can really help. And especially for your savings in
your four oh one k, it's time to put a
portion of your savings in gold, which is likely to
hold value, if not increase. Just look at the price

thirty years. We trust. Birch Gold, the same company releasing

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. All right,
I want to play the audio for you again because
Governor Phil Murphy says all of us are morons.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
We misinterpreted when he.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Bragged about having an illegal immigrant living at his place.
This is the statement that they have released since then.
But I just want to play it for you again.
Here's Murphy unequivocally saying I have an illegal immigrant.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Good luck coming and getting her.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Listen, Tammy and I were talking about I don't want
to get into too much detail, but there's someone in
our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at
the point that they are trying to get it to
and we said, you know what, let's have her live
at our house above our garage. Uh, and good luck
(34:27):
to the feds coming into to try to get her.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That is really specific. Yeah, like like he almost was
giving us like name, what time she arrives, usually when.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
She leaves in our in our also woman Like, I
mean just yeah, like, I mean, you gave us the sex,
you gave us the location in your house, you gave
us her particular immigration status, and you just said good
luck to the faiths trying to come and get her.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Now he says it was missing. Like what. It reminds
me that there's like a viral tweet that I saw
a while ago. It's still circulate sometimes some just some
random guy who's like, I'm so upset, I can't stop crying.
I'm so worried that my mother in law is going
to be deported. My mother in law so and so
and so and lives at this address and is there
(35:21):
at this time when she is not at work. That
is really really funny.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Producer Ali says, guarantee it's their housekeeper now, that would
potentially be very funny. Good news, by the way, as
we can, I can't even keep up with all the
good news. Frankly, Tulci Gabbard has advanced out of the
committee in the Senate. She is now set for confirmation.
If you look at the gambling markets, which I like
to do, every single Trump nominee is a ninety nine
(35:51):
percent chance to be confirmed now. So congrats to Cols
Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Junior, who both have advanced and
are for confirmation. And Trump's gonna run the table with them,
which is phenomenal given that this was I think the
first effort of the Democrats to just try to throw
up some obstacle, anything to obstruct, anything to sabotage what
(36:14):
Trump is trying to accomplish. But not on Trump's watch,
not on our watch. We'll have a lot more for.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
You tomorrow, hopefully some updates on some great confirmations going through.
And I have a feeling we'll have even more Elon
Doge bureaucracy fed into the woodchippers stuff. I gotta say
I love it. I mean, he is exceeding expectations.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
For so long, I was afraid to check my phone
because of how bad everything was. Now I can't wait
to see what awesomeness has happened. More awesomeness with y'all tomorrow, Come,
hang
Our three of clay En Bock kicks off now, thanks
for being here with us. A lot going on. We've
got a governor of New Jersey suggested on television play
you see this one that he was harboring an illegal migrant,
and Tom Homan the borders are pointed out. If that
(00:20):
is in fact true, that will be looked at and
investigated because that is a violatory of federal statue. So
we will we will get to that in a little bit.
That's a little reminder just how comfortable with defiance of
the law, with breaking of the law Democrats have become
that they will allude on the air to perhaps breaking
(00:45):
laws when it comes to immigration with no fear, were
no concern whatsoever. Well, maybe that's changing. We shall discuss that.
But the big thing going on right now we wanted
to dive into is Elon Musk is giving the federal
bureaucracy a very thorough exam. He's got the rubber gloves
(01:05):
on and he is checking it out, seeing what's going on.
And it turns out that there's a lot of problems
and waste and it's a mess, and so he's looking
to have the Trump administration chop things down, cut things up,
feed it into the wood chipper. As he has said,
(01:26):
part of this is the buyout package that was offered,
which only twenty thousand federal workers out of two million
have taken up the offer on this. They have until
Thursday to decide if they will take eight months pay
and benefits in exchange for voluntarily resigning walking away. Yes, Clay,
(01:50):
I just think if this number ends up being true,
and to your point, they have what another two days
to theoretically sign up, it's one percent right now, so
far less than one percent. What how cushy are these jobs?
If that few people will actually take this offer. Because
(02:11):
I will tell you right now, I guarantee you way
more than one percent of the people that are listening
to us right now. If you were told, hey, you
get paid through February and you can just walk away
and go find a new job, I bet twenty five
percent of the people listening to us right now would
take that offer, at least because your jobs tend to
(02:35):
be tough and you might not like them very much,
and you would say, Okay, I'll take that payment and
I'll go find something else. I don't think it's crazy
to think that a quarter of you listening to us
right now would take it. Heck, some of you who are.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Near retirement would be like, hallelujah, I get to leave
eight months early and I'm gonna get paid through September.
I'll sign up for that in a heartbeat. My point
on it, Buck is if these numbers end up being true,
just shows you how cushy these jobs are and how
little drive and ambition and industry a lot of these
employees have. Because they're not thinking, oh, I'll go find
(03:10):
something better. They know that they have found the ultimate
in don't have to do anything and get paid reliably
and my work product doesn't matter job, which means all
of us, the taxpayers funding their salaries, are getting screwed.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Let me tell you something about having a long time
ago before this remote work from home stuff was even
really technologically feasible. Although on the national security side you
can't do it because of classification concerns, right, but for
people who work it, you know, Department of Agriculture EPA,
places like that, this is definitely going to be the
case play. Whether it was at the CIA or in
(03:48):
the Intelligence Division of the NYPD. They always wanted to
have fit like when you were on the clock. They
wanted to have physical control of where you were, or know,
positive control of your location, your butt in the chair
in the office or in the cubicle, and that's where
you had to be because there was really not very
(04:11):
much they could do to enforce work product, but they
could enforce presence. So the one thing about working for
the federal government until until COVID, until very recently was yeah, okay,
you know, there's a lot that you can get with
a lot of shenanigans, a lot of wandering the hallways
in the building. You can do a lot of you know,
(04:32):
waiting in line for coffee, et cetera. But you have
to be there, that's the thing. And if you're you
punch in at nine and you leave at five, they
can monitor it. You'll put that's what you're you're expected
to do. This has changed such that now the only
really quantifiable thing for a lot of these jobs, your
physical presence in the workplace is gone. And this is
(04:55):
just if you think about it, what are people doing
at home who work for some of these department where
no everyone's virtual. They're all sitting there watching TV and
playing video games, and maybe they got a computer on
and they, you know, press a button every fifteen minutes,
so it looks like they're active. They're not doing a
damn thing, a lot of them at least, So that's
(05:16):
what has been exposed by this. Another thing, Clay Elon
must put out this twenty five minutes ago, would you
like Doze to audit the IRS? You will be unsurprised
to find out that over ninety percent of the hundreds
of thousands of votes are saying yes, they would like
to see how the IRS uses taxpayer dollars. And then
(05:38):
that brings me to the next shoe that I think
is going to drop. Courtesy of Uncle Elon. Trump administration
is drafting an executive order to initiate the Department of
Education's elimination. CNN reporting on this one UH. The move
would come in two parts. The order would direct the
(06:00):
Secretary of Education to create a plan to diminish the
department through executive action, and Trump would also push for
Congress to pass legislation to end the department. As those
working on the order acknowledge shutting the department would it
would require congress involvement. Clay the two parts. First, Jimmy
Carter was the one who this is the one that
(06:20):
I was thinking of. Jimmy Carter created the Education Department.
Department of Education. The first part of this is is
a given, but it's interesting. They're basically trying to clip
the wings of the doe, if you will. I mean
they're trying to make it. I don't know how many
of your own birds, but that means the bird can't
really fly normally. They're trying to make it so that
(06:42):
I had a bird for a little while. It's a
long story. You have a little while? What kind of bird?
A cockatial? Oh my god, that was an awful decision
by you. Well, my parents agreed with you because we
gave it back to the pet store.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Where my sister had. My sister had a bird, and
the damn thing never shut up. I mean it was
it makes a very high noise. It was actually quite
I actually liked the bird's quite affectionate. But they, uh,
there's no potty training them and they just keep going
and going and going wherever. And uh they had like
a little retractive a mohawk. My cockatial. I liked my cockatial.
But anyway, we don't have to get into that now.
It's sad. It didn't last just apparently a decision. Your parents,
(07:19):
you're really poor. They didn't want to they didn't want
to get a dog yet for us. So they eventually
got a dog and that was the right move. So
the intermediary was, I had a cockatial and I think
it lasted like I don't know, my parents say weeks,
I think a few months point being you returned it,
can you return to animals somehow?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
My dad, yeah, my dad would just like take this,
take this cockatial back, and they took it back.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, to the pest. I didn't know, all right, that's good. Yeah, yeah,
mine got it. My sisters got knocked the cat knocked
it over, and it flew out of the uh into
a Nashville winter day and probably didn't last very long.
I wouldn't imagine in the in the tree, like you
could see it in the tree. The leaves were all gone.
It was bright, you know, blue pink or whatever it was.
(08:00):
And I don't know. I guess it probably froze to death.
It was a dark dark into the Travis family caucas
This is this is taking a dark turn. I mean,
but I guess maybe the cat shouldn't have tried to
eat it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I guess, but you know how I knew that the
bird was not was not long for the I think
I was like eight or nine when this was going on.
My dad reached into, you know, he had been told
to be patient. He reached in to grab the bird,
and it bit him because they have a meat. They
have a mean little beak if you try to get
rough with them, and it bit him, and I was like,
(08:33):
this bird is not long for this world. I was
just glad there weren't tiny drumsticks on the I just
remember how loud that damn bird was. If you didn't
have the cover on top of the cage, it never
shut up. I mean it was incessant. I mean, Carrie
can't hear this right now, although she could probably listen
to the show on podcasts, but she's doing something else.
If she would let me, I would get a bird. Anyway.
All right, let's go back. Let's go back to what
(08:54):
is important here in saving the country. Uh So, so
the part one Clay basically cutting the budget, slashing the
budget down or slashing the everything that the executive branch
can do, closing down as much of the Department education
as possible, so that it is kind of like neutered
and then trying to get Congress to go along with
(09:15):
just shut the whole damn thing down. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I so, first of all, the challenge here is that
these guys are going to try to sue to keep
their jobs. So what you should expect is they're going
to try to fire people, and these federal employees are
going to say, because of their incredibly protective unions, that
their contracts don't allow them to be fired. So we
(09:42):
are going to end up in a multi year battle.
This is why offering buyouts makes sense at so many companies,
because it's actually.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Very difficult to fire people.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I didn't know this until I started running a company,
because I just assumed that I could always get fired
left and right, and I've been fired left and right.
But when you are a union employee, as most of
these government employees are to my knowledge, Buck, it becomes
really really hard to get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So I love the idea.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I've said it before, I wish and I think this
is where Elon is going to get frustrated because the
analogy here is very comparable. The email that he sent
to the government employees is very similar to the one
that he sent to Twitter employees. When you own a
private company, it's way easier to fire people so long
as they aren't members of unions. And it's my understanding
(10:37):
that Twitter was not a union based company, and so
Elon could go in and he could fire most people
or buy them out depending on what their contracts were,
things like that. But when you have union employees, it
becomes incredibly difficult. And so I suspect that that's why
they're trying to get people to leave voluntarily. Because while
the goal may be one that I admire, and I
(11:00):
wish we could fire fifty or seventy five percent of
all federal employees and I don't think taxpayers would miss it,
and I think it would save us trillions of dollars
over the generations ahead. I think we're going to have
major legal challenges and it's going to be ponderous to
get much of this done. That's my concern. I could
be wrong, but the union contracts typically are quite protection protective. Well,
(11:25):
but I think if nothing else, this is going to
force a lot of this out into the open. So
people are going to realize, I mean, even FDR thought
the idea of a public sector union was an abomination.
I mean, it was a whole agree horrible idea, which
is completely true, by the way. Teachers unions, by the way,
(11:45):
probably the worst of all of this. Yes, teachers union
should not exist. If you want to you want to
teach in your local public school, whatever, that's great. That
should be left up to the public school and your
district to determine what your salary and benefits are. There
should not be this collective bargaining with the state through
public sector unions that occurs there. And so yeah, I
think that this is going to force people to look
(12:07):
at this in more detail. I would also say, though,
that because you have elon looking at this, there's many
ways to get it done. And for example, it is
already existing regulation or law that if you are a
new federal government employee at I think it's the EPA
that is covered by this right now, but it's probably
(12:29):
true everywhere Clay, you're technically on probation for the first year,
eighteen months something like that. They've effectively prepared all Biden
hired probationary EPA employees probationary just because they're new, not
because they've actually done anything.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
To be fired. And that they can do under the
existing rules and regulation. So this is now that's only
a thousand, well a thousand people's a lot of people,
but not in a federal government context. Point here is
they're going to find every way they can to pressure
the system to cut it down, to show even just
(13:05):
showing the public what's really going on. And that's where
I think things can get more interesting over the long run.
Buckle up.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The firing of federal employees thing is going to be
really fascinating to see, and I hope, although it doesn't
sound like the numbers are what we had hoped, I
hope way more than twenty thousand people are going to
end up taking these offers to get paid through September.
But if they don't, it gives you a very good
sense for how cushy those jobs really are, because again,
(13:37):
I bet twenty five percent of you would gladly take
a payout through September and go find a new job
because you don't particularly love the jobs you have, and
you'd like to find one that you liked more. If
these federal government jobs were really tough and people didn't
feel like they were getting compensated at their fair market value,
do you think they'd all be trying to keep them.
I just think we're all getting taken advantage of all
(13:59):
the taxpayers are We don't think about it much, but
how prepared are you when it comes to protecting your
home and family from intruders? Most people keep fire extinguishers
no brainer. Having Saber products should be a no brainer too.
They've been manufacturing self protection tools for fifty years, continually
refining and improving them. Sabers Home Defense Projectile Launcher may
just be your ultimate choice for protection. Small enough to
(14:20):
hold in one hand, fires off a round projectile full
of pepper spray, slowing down an intruder in the process.
Sabers protectiles pack a serious non lethal punch. Even if
you miss, they create a six foot pepper cloud upon impact,
causing intense centory irritation for anybody within its reach. Saber
has safeguarded more than one hundred thousand people pepper sprays
(14:42):
and gels, all made in the US. Tons of positive reviews.
We have all of these products in our house. You
can get them not only for you, but for your
teenage kids, maybe for your kids that are off at college,
maybe for your grandkids. Something that is non lethal that
can help to protect them. Makes a ton of sense.

Clay, Travis and buck Sexton mic drops that never sounded
so good. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Welcome back in Play, Travis buck Sexton show. I mentioned
that I'm trying to get my son to prepare for
the eight. I may have made the das the really
bad decision to uh compete with him. So I'm taking
the act tonight for the first time since I was
probably sixteen, not optimistic on many parts of it. Tim
(15:49):
and Charleston, you taught SAT and act prep for forty years.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
What what what tips do you have for me?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Well, it's real simple. Sorry about my voice today, But
you don't look for right answers. The only way to
take a standardized test is you just look for losers.
They know how to write answers that people will like,
and those people think that they're right. Do not even
(16:20):
ever look for the right answer. I actually tell kids
that you know it's the right answer when you've read
it over again and you say to yourself, I may
not like this, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
This, by the way, is right. Answers, Thank you for
the advice. That is the best advice that has ever
been delivered. That also simultaneously sounds like the most terrifying
thing that could be happening.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's like clay. You're locked into a box and the
only life for you to sew your handoff. Yeah, it's
like Jigsaw or something. Just I think he's got he's
got the Jesse Kelly flu. Our friend Jesse Kelly's got
the flu right now too. A lot of people are
coming down with colds, a lot of people sick.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Nose Feratu out there calling in to try to give
us some uh, try to get this team, try to
give us some advice on how I can do better
on it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You know, it's always sad is when when I have
a cold and people look, I like your voice better
when you have a cold on the radio. I was like, well,
maybe I'll just keep my glands swallen forever. You jerk.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
So anyway, I'm this is what I'm gonna do with
my free time today. When I finish work, I'm gonna
try to do it at act. I've not taken one
since I'm sixteen, and I think I may have talked
a little bit too much trash about it. My wife
was like, you need to get him to prep more.
He's not listening to us, and so I was like, well,
I'll challenge him. And uh, I think somehow I'm gonna
be the biggest loser here. What do we got, Uh, chalk?
(17:48):
Maybe maybe I need some chalk to be able to
get through this test. I know I'm gonna need some
chalk to get through the Super Bowl weekend coming up.
I'm flying down tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Lots of events.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It's a lot of work, a lot of fun, but
it takes a lot of energy. And if you're out
there right now, starting off twenty twenty five, and you
can see in the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
One big aspect of the difference between them, even though
it's different in age, the energy. Trump has got unbelievable energy.
Joe Biden didn't have any at all. Do you want
(18:21):
to be more like Trump less like Biden? No matter
what your age is, have the vim bigger vitality you
get through your day. You need to go to Chalk

Speaker 1 (18:53):
We mentioned this one and it is gonna be fun.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
The very left wing governor of New Jersey, Film Murphy.
I remember him because as a New Yorker at the
time he was awful on COVID, slightly less bombastic than Cuomo,
but equally awful and a tyrant formerly of a Goldman Sacks,
I believe, and I think he was a chairman of
(19:20):
Goldman Sacks. Is that right? Is he the chairman of
Goldman Sacks? I think that's Governor Murphy? Or am I confusing?
Because there's been a couple of senior Goldman guys who
have become the Governor's.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think I think he came out of Goldman Sacks.
I don't know that he was at the very top
of it, but I think he was one of the.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Just because of Goldman. So Murphy, I'm just gonna go
out of limb hear. I get the sense that maybe
he's had a lot of illegals, you know, cleaning his
dishes and uh, you know, trimming the hedges and doing
whatever for a long time. He's very pro illegal, so
much so that he spoke about how he knows and
illegal and maybe he's giving harbor to that illegal, knowing
(20:01):
that's an illegal. And here's what he said, play it.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Tammy and I were talking about I don't want to
get into too much detail, but there's someone in our
broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the
point that they are trying to get it to and
we said, you know what, let's have her live at
our house above our garage. Uh and good luck to
(20:25):
the Fed's coming into to try to get her.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That's interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Good luck.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
What are you going to do? You're going to order
New Jersey State troopers to uh, you know, draw their
draw their service weapons and tell the immigration enforcement of
federal of the federal government that they're not allowed to
enforce the law because you say so, Tom Holman, borders
are You could tell Clay didn't really like this little, uh,
(20:50):
little defiant speech from the government of Jersey. Here's what
the borders are of the federal government under Trump had
to say, play.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
For I think the government's pretty foolish. Same way he said,
because I've gotten hold of it, won't let it go.
We'll look into it. And if he's normally normally harbor
and concealing and illegal iman, that's a violation tide the way,
and I stays called thirteen twenty four, I will seek
(21:16):
prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution. So maybe he's bluffing.
If he's not, we'll deal with that.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
He's saying, you better be bluffing, buddy. I mean, this
is super weird behavior. First of all, in the governor's mansion,
like he's just keeping an illegal immigrant and the person's
just living there. I mean, that's, let's be honest, that's
weird behavior. And then you're taunting the federal government that
(21:47):
if they come and enforce their laws, I mean, does
the I mean, am I the governor has a security detail? Right?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Does the illegal immigrant get wanded in and out of
the house? I mean, I would think this was super
weird if leave aside the illegal angle. If the governor said,
you know, I just really love my gardener. He lives
in the Governor's mansion with me, I'd be like, this
is like not horrible behavior. You know, our janitor is
(22:18):
so good at the governor's mansion that I just told
him I wanted him to move in and live with
me in the house.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I'd be like, oh, you know, each his own.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But this is sounding, you know what I mean, Like,
it's a very strange thing to brag about now.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Well, also clear that it's illegal. Yeah, I get it, governor, right,
but the governor is in what other world? Are you
the governor? Which means you're actually the in effect a
law enforcement executive branch officer for the state of New Jersey,
And you're like, the law just doesn't apply. Sorry, I
can break the law. What is only on? I think
(22:54):
the law isn't the law. It is very funny to
think about other areas.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
If he was like, I mean, I pay for hooks,
I bring him by the house all the time. If
you don't like it, deal with it. You'd be like, well,
you know, I don't know. You should be the governor
began hookers like bragging about breaking a law, no matter
what the law is, when you are the chief executive
of a state. Seems like a really poor decision.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
And didn't he.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Backtrack now and say it's not true? Do we have
to I believe he came back out after this went
megaviral and said, actually, I don't have an illegal immigrant
living in my house.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Very very like, can we track that down?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Maybe we'll play it before the end of the show,
because I think somebody got to him and they were like, Governor,
you could be arrested. And credit to Tom Homan, I
think this would be incredible if he just went in
the governor's office and arrested him and said, hey, you're
harboring an illegal immigrant and you're violating the federal statute
that he laid out, and he took him out in handcuffs.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I actually think it would be amazing. And what is
your defense?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
You admitted to the crime in front of the entire
media audience. Now again, I believe after this went viral,
he walked it back, which buck also makes it super weird.
So he either has an illegal immigrant living at his
house that shouldn't be there, or he lied about having
(24:21):
an illegal immigrant living at his house that shouldn't be there.
Either one is super weird. But now he's taken both
sides of the equation. So he was bragging about doing
something that he didn't actually do, found out that it
was a crime, and now says he didn't do it,
or he's trying to cover his tracks to avoid being arrested.
This guy's not a moron to your point. I mean,
(24:42):
he worked at Goldman Sachs. He has to be able
to read a balance sheet, unlike most Democrats. But remember
he almost lost and Trump publicly lost close. Yeah, Trump only.
And there's a governor's race in New Jersey next year
and Trump only lost New Jersey by five points. And
Scott Press, who basically committed his life to registering Republicans
(25:04):
in Pennsylvania to flip that state. He's got an incredible tenacity.
He now has moved his challenge from Pennsylvania to the
idea I'm gonna flip New Jersey red. And the Trump
people if you talk to him Buck, they say, man,
if we'd had Kamala Harris money, we could have flipped
New Jersey if they only lost by five, if they
(25:24):
had had as much money as Kamala. They feel like
if they had poured resources into New Jersey, they could
have legitimately won the state. And just so you know,
there is no map that leads to Democrats winning the
presidency that doesn't have New Jersey as a bright blue,
unquestionably blue state. So you're starting to look at the
(25:45):
board now, whether it's Virginia, whether it's New Jersey. I
know this is a couple of years away, but you're
starting to look at the board now and saying there's
a lot more pieces that Republicans can put under pressure
than there are places where Democrats can put Republicans under pressure.
It's also interesting to me, Clay that as all these
(26:07):
things are happening and the Trump executive Order blitzkrieg is
fully underway, a lot of the worst people in the
media and in politics are absolutely freaking out about it,
which I have to say, to me is a good thing.
And the more people who you shouldn't listen to and
(26:27):
who have been wrong on everything, and who are dishonest hate.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What is going on? I think the more clear it
is that it is a great thing and this we
need more of this. I bring you. This is Chuck Todd.
Didn't Chuck Todd just decide he's not gonna do uh.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
He's done with NBC. He walked away from NBC and
he's now starting his own good luck venture. Because I
know there's tons of people out there, like, you know,
I'm sorry, I'm laughing Is anybody out there like you
know who I freaking love and media Chuck Todd? Maybe
Chuck Todd's mom. I hope she's alive. I hope she's
a big Chuck Todd fan. But I just is there
anyone who's like, I got to get me more Chuck
(27:03):
Todd content. Does he have a fan, like an actual
fan that he's not related to.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I don't think so. But our buddy Chuck Todd here.
He is very upset about what Elon Musk is doing
eighteen and.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
If democracy is a quote unquote left wing ideology to
Elon Musk, I mean, this man is Unamerican as far
as my definition of America is. And I just the
fact that more people aren't offended by this man's actions.
I mean, it's shows you how much he has helped
successfully destroy the trusted information ecosystem. Because this is a
(27:36):
five alarm fire. Elon Musk is a five alarm fire,
and the country doesn't realize it yet.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
The pearl clutching from Chuck Todd here is really something.
Elon Musk is a five alarm fire. I mean, they're
just so used to having information and propaganda dominance that
they can't stand what Elon has done by opening up
the Internet to free speech.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Well, also, Elon's trying to save all taxpayers money. If
you add to one of the most brilliant people in
American history, and that person said, hey, I think you're
paying way too much for whatever bills you pay, and
he was like, hey, just let me have some of
(28:21):
my most brilliant guys come in look at your accounts.
I think I can save you twenty percent. Would you
be like, this is the biggest threat that I've ever seen,
ever seen to my personal finances or would you be like, man,
maybe it's embarrassing, Like there are lots of reasons why.
I can think people go through the credit card statements
and they're like, you paid this much for all these
(28:41):
streaming companies, Like I'm being personally, you pay one thousand
dollars a year for the Wall Street Journal or whatever
the heck I do. I don't know what it costs
a year. Probably I can see why people look at
it and be like, you're an idiot. You paid how
much for those seats to go watch the Atlanta Braves?
Like there are lots of things on my credit card
bill where people could look at it and be like, hey,
you could have saved a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Of money here.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
But I wouldn't call them real threats if the most
brilliant business people in the world wanted to help give
me advice like he's. This is why the whole argument
of Trump's trying to take over the government by making
it a lot smaller. When has someone ever tried to
take over something by making it way smaller? I mean
(29:24):
an honest question, like, is there any historical analogy where
someone took like, hey, I've got this great idea, I'm
going to decrease the size of our military and give
up less of our land. Like it doesn't even add up.
Their talking points don't logically add up. Well, this is
what I mean by they're just in fits of hysteria.
(29:45):
And I think part of it is they've got that,
they became intellectually flabby. They got used to just the same.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
You know, Trump is hitler, Trump is your fascist. Trump
is the white supremisist. And that used to moved the
needle with their own audience, even if it wasn't honest,
it wasn't true, it wasn't fair, but it would work right,
and it was essentially a stand in for I don't
like Trump. So you could just pout. You could go
on MSNBC and CNN or right for the New York
(30:16):
Times editorial page or the front page, and you could
pout like a little communist baby, kempy, you thank you.
And now everyone, even their own side, looks at them like,
is this all you have? He just won by a
huge margin and crushed us in all the swing states
and is like running rampant all over our left wing
dreams and all you have is be you fascist.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's just not working anymore. And I think that's where
Chuck Todd is.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, and again it doesn't make sense to be a
dictator and actually make the government smaller.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Maybe some of you are smarter than me.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Historically has anyone ever dictated by making the government way smaller.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
He doesn't even but he doesn't even think. He loans
to dick like this is just you know, he's just
throwing a tantrum. It doesn't even matter.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
It's this is why the fascism thing was so funny,
because nobody even knows what a freaking fascist is, right Like,
at least people understand what a racist or a white
supremacist is. By the time they got to fascist, people
can't spell it. They don't know what it is. By
the way, I was right, Phil Murphy, a rep for
Phil Murphy, told The New York Post, We'll play this
(31:19):
audio for you again because it's amazing in conjunction that
New Jersey's governor had been quote misinterpreted and he hadn't
actually been keeping illegal immigrants at his house, even though
he dared the FEDS to come after the migrant. This
is according to the New York Post team sharing that
with me, it's very funny.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I think there might be probable cause there Still I
don't know if you can I don't know if you
could say I robbed the bank and then be like, actually,
I didn't rob the bank. I don't know someone might
need to send the FEDS.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Really really funny. I always love when people say you
misinterpreted me. I mean, well, he's speaking English. We'll play
the audio for you again. It's not that complicated of
a statement. I think he's run scared.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I think so too. With all the winning that we
are experiencing, in the cheering that's going on for all
things MAGA, we all know there's still big problems. We're
in the early stages of watching our side tackle them.
But you have to take the long view, and you
have to look at what's already gone on with inflation
and with the debt. This is where diversification really matters
(32:25):
and can really help. And especially for your savings in
your four oh one k, it's time to put a
portion of your savings in gold, which is likely to
hold value, if not increase. Just look at the price

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. All right,
I want to play the audio for you again because
Governor Phil Murphy says all of us are morons.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
We misinterpreted when he.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Bragged about having an illegal immigrant living at his place.
This is the statement that they have released since then.
But I just want to play it for you again.
Here's Murphy unequivocally saying I have an illegal immigrant.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Good luck coming and getting her.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Listen, Tammy and I were talking about I don't want
to get into too much detail, but there's someone in
our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at
the point that they are trying to get it to
and we said, you know what, let's have her live
at our house above our garage. Uh, and good luck
(34:27):
to the feds coming into to try to get her.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That is really specific. Yeah, like like he almost was
giving us like name, what time she arrives, usually when.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
She leaves in our in our also woman Like, I
mean just yeah, like, I mean, you gave us the sex,
you gave us the location in your house, you gave
us her particular immigration status, and you just said good
luck to the faiths trying to come and get her.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Now he says it was missing. Like what. It reminds
me that there's like a viral tweet that I saw
a while ago. It's still circulate sometimes some just some
random guy who's like, I'm so upset, I can't stop crying.
I'm so worried that my mother in law is going
to be deported. My mother in law so and so
and so and lives at this address and is there
(35:21):
at this time when she is not at work. That
is really really funny.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Producer Ali says, guarantee it's their housekeeper now, that would
potentially be very funny. Good news, by the way, as
we can, I can't even keep up with all the
good news. Frankly, Tulci Gabbard has advanced out of the
committee in the Senate. She is now set for confirmation.
If you look at the gambling markets, which I like
to do, every single Trump nominee is a ninety nine
(35:51):
percent chance to be confirmed now. So congrats to Cols
Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Junior, who both have advanced and
are for confirmation. And Trump's gonna run the table with them,
which is phenomenal given that this was I think the
first effort of the Democrats to just try to throw
up some obstacle, anything to obstruct, anything to sabotage what
(36:14):
Trump is trying to accomplish. But not on Trump's watch,
not on our watch. We'll have a lot more for.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
You tomorrow, hopefully some updates on some great confirmations going through.
And I have a feeling we'll have even more Elon
Doge bureaucracy fed into the woodchippers stuff. I gotta say
I love it. I mean, he is exceeding expectations.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
For so long, I was afraid to check my phone
because of how bad everything was. Now I can't wait
to see what awesomeness has happened. More awesomeness with y'all tomorrow, Come,
hang
