Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Tuesday edition I'll be Klay, Travis and Buck Sexton show
kicks off now a man Clay taking a day to
go speak to the youth at a university. He'll be
back with us tomorrow. I'm riding solo today. I have
the con here in CNB world and we're going to
dive into it. So much going on thanks to Trump
(00:24):
to doze the overall headline. I think we aren't even
close to being tired of winning, but there's a lot
of winning going on. The Democrats, the left, they are
running scared right now in so many ways. Some hashtag
resistance judges doing what they can to gum up the works,
but they're not going to be able to stop the
(00:46):
steamroller from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue all alone.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
This is going to continue on.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We've got more on what Trump is doing and also
the way the public is viewing it, which these two
things going to get there are what is terrifying the Democrats,
I think so much. You've got more on immigration enforcement
going on, very troubling indications that there may have been
(01:13):
It seems that there were leaks about coming ice raids
targeting a violent Venezuelan gang, which has a lot of illegals.
I'll explain that story later on more on Doge. Looking
at the different absurd contracts, you know, the puppet shows
(01:37):
in ulan Bator and all the other stuff that they've
been funding. I think it's the capital of Mongolia for
those who are curious. And Eric Adams has had it
looks to see it looks to be that his charges
are are going to get dropped by the Trump DJ
which we can discuss that as well. I think there's
a lot that is going on here, but let me
(02:00):
start with this. They were not expecting anything that we
see happening right now. The Democrats are caught quite flat
footed with all of this, despite the fact that Trump
is doing what he said he would do. Trump is
following through on explicit promises made repeatedly throughout his campaign.
(02:24):
Things that he said would get done right away are
getting done right away. The partnership with the brilliant Elon
Musk and Doge is already bearing fruit. Anyone who believes
that government waste and government accountability matter should be rooting
for Doge. So why are so many Democrats upset? Calling
(02:49):
it a constitutional crisis? Some even saying we should throw
Doge people in jail. It's because they can't win on
the merits. If the American peace people were to know
what the argument is that the Democrats really have here,
which is they have created a system that allows them
(03:10):
to have power and funding and to have effectively a
shadow government through the fourth branch, the unelected branch, the bureaucracy.
If Democrats just came out and said that, if they
explained to the American people, hey, you know how over
the last seventy years, we completely took over the university
(03:30):
system in this country, filled it with radical kami wackos,
and now you can't find anybody who has an evensane,
never mind conservative point of view in a vast majority
of campus political science and English and humanities departments and everything.
They've done that with the federal government too, At the
(03:50):
federal bureaucracy, it has become a fiefdom of the left.
It has become a source of votes and power and funding.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You see, they get the funding from you, the taxpayer,
and then they donate money back to the political party,
the Democrats that make sure.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
This is the self.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Licking ice cream cone that I keep telling you about
this is what is happening, and that's why they're so upset.
But they have to find process concerns. They have to find.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Oh, but this is a constitutional crisis. In what way?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It's a constitutional crisis for President Trump to say that
USAID employees should return to the country. It's a constitutional
crisis for the head of the executive branch to be
able to run the executive branch. Who's really in charge here?
Take a step back, who's really in charge of the
Treasury Department? Pretty big deal, pretty important place. If federal
(04:51):
judges appointed by Democrat presidents can take it upon themselves
to say, the Treasury secretary, you heard that right, The
Treasury Secretary does not have full access to everything that
is going on in the Treasury Department that he's supposed
to be overseeing. Who really runs the country? Who really
runs the government? I told you this from the start,
(05:14):
from back in the campaign, back when I had tremendous
confidence Trump would win. There are going to be two
critical battles that will determine the success or failure of
Trump two point zero Immigration enforcement, the legal aliens, the
invasion the border, and this the deep state, the swamp,
(05:36):
the fight against the system, the bureaucracy inside of DC,
because if you don't win these the next election doesn't
really matter that much, does it. If they're flooding the
country with the legals and changing the demographics and changing
the electorate of America, basically diluting Americans with non Americans
who break the law, with foreigners who have broken the law,
(06:00):
foreign nationals, illegal aliens. And then you have a bureaucracy
that keeps the funding in place, keeps the bloated jobs
programs that are all of these different federal agencies have
that get to make and regulate laws effectively all throughout
our lives.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
What's the point of the election? Who really runs the country?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Because if it's going to be some system that doesn't
have to even care what the actual president says and
believes about what they're doing, why are we wasting our time?
We're in a remarkable world now, aren't we think about it?
It has become essentially constitutionally normalized that a president of
(06:44):
the United States can launch a military action without Congress.
I think of how many times this has happened. When
was the last time Congress actually declared war World War two?
When was the last time there was actually a situation
where the Congress said, yes, we are in a state
of war. And think of how many wars we've actually
(07:04):
been in. So that has been entirely normalized. Meanwhile, so
we're told that's constitutional. A president can start a war
without Congress. But a president can't tell members of USAID
that they have to come home from abroad, shut down
(07:25):
DEI offices within the bureaucracy, tell people that they can
have buyouts if they want to leave federal service.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Right, think about that.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You can start a war, mister president, but you can't
reign in the bureaucracy. Something is wrong here. You want
to talk about constitutional crisis. Something has really gone awry,
and that is what Trump is trying to address, and
that is what is happening right now.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But here's the part of it that Here is the
part of it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That they did not anticipate. Not only Trump coming out
of the gate here full force, doing everything that he can,
here's the other part of it. The American people are
with him on this. They are seeing what is going on.
It's not just whether Trump is winning each of these
(08:20):
individual battles. That's not the only part of this that matters.
Although it's important. It's also exposing what is going on
and exposing the other sides treachery, showing you what the
Democrat Party is really all about. The forever government, the
unaccountable government. You better pay every dollar in taxes that
(08:43):
the IRS says they know you, oh, but they won't
tell you until you mess up. Meanwhile, the government can
spend whatever it wants, and the bureaucrats can do whatever
they want, and they're protected by civil service protections. They're
protected by some make believe constitutional right to have the
most bloated, ineffectual federal bureaucracy in the history of the planet.
(09:04):
Somehow that is the America that you're supposed to live in.
But here's the problem that they have. As I said,
Trump is taking the actions, his team and Elon are
making these moves, and the American people are seeing it
and are with them. Support for immigration enforcement has never
(09:24):
been higher than it is right now, since they've been
doing these kinds of polls. Support for a limiting waste,
fraud and abuse. Elon Musk is thinking he's going to
find hundreds of billions of dollars that's either being lit
on fire in essence or more to the point given
to people who have no right to it, shouldn't get it,
and maybe are criminals for taking it. How could anyone
(09:47):
be opposed to that? Why would they say that the
Treasury Department shouldn't give access to the Treasury Secretary and
other duly appointed personnel by the President of the United
States himself. This is the fight. This is what's so important.
We have flipped over the log in DC. Trump has
kicked over the woody, the wooded stump, and there's just
(10:11):
grubs and things crawling all over the place. This swamp personified.
They don't like this, but they don't have a way
to stop it.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Really.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They've got some judges, they've got some crying on TV.
But the American people are seeing it, and that is
as much a part of the change as the actual
executive orders themselves. This is CNN's data guru. This has
cut three about the enormous surge in popularity across the board.
Nobody can deny this. All the polling shows it that
(10:44):
Donald Trump is having right. Now play three.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You go back to twenty seventeen, Trump was already underwater
at minus five points from anot approval rating. That's approval
minus systo, what a difference eight years makes. He's on
the positive side of the Ledger at plus four points.
And again, it's not just the CBS News, Paul, We're
talking about the Gallup pole, We're talking about the IPSOS poll,
we are talking about the pepole. All of these respective
pollsters have Trump in a better position now than they
(11:08):
did eight years ago. Entire first term, just eleven days,
just eleven days, Donald Trump had a net positive approval rating.
Compare that to the second term. Just so far, just
so far, every single day of Trump's second term, so far,
he has been on the positive side of the ledger
twenty one days, all three weeks. That's already ten more
(11:29):
days than he was in his entire first term.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Trump is winning and they know it, and we know it.
You and I know it. This is what you are feeling,
this is what you are observing happening in the country
right now. Doing the things that needed to be done
that others in the Republican Party were scared to do
or refuse to do. And the American people are seeing
(11:57):
the truth. And this is just the beginning. The left
is going to get more desperate. They're going to get nastier.
They're going to lie, cheat, and steel. That's what they
always do, That's who they are. But if Trump and
the team and Elon keep the pressure on, we can
have a transformational presidency here, to restore the sovereignty of
(12:19):
the American people, to restore the accountability of the federal government,
to make the dollar something that we don't all assume
at some point is just going to collapse into nothing.
This can be done, and it is being done right now,
and it is critical that all of us watch this
with open eyes and supported and that Trump and the
(12:40):
Republicans keep the pressure on. Since two thousand and one,
the Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been looking after the
families of our first responders and those defending our freedoms.
Thomas Kennedy is one of those individuals. After joining the
US Army, Thomas Kennedy served two tours of duty in
Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Iaron does of awards and
(13:00):
service medals throughout his honorable career. While he was deployed
in eastern Afghanistan, this soldier's life was tragically cut short.
Thomas was killed by a Taliban suicide bomber. He left
behind his wife, Cammy, and their beautiful twins, Maggie and Brody,
who were just week shy of their second birthday when
they lost their father.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Because of friends like.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You, Cammy and her children did not face their loss alone.
Tunalta Towers provided their family with a mortgage free home.
You and other caring friends helped Tunnel the Towers to
step in and offer a ray of hope to Cammy,
Maggie and Brody. Families like the Kennedys, who have sacrificed,
sacrificed so much for us in our nation need your
help now more than ever. Donate eleven dollars a month

Saving America one thought at a time.

Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
We're talking about's froump steamrolling the opposition and you love
to see it. America is healing. The Communists are in
flight and full of fright, and it is a beautiful thing.
So we'll get into more of how that's happening. Why
that's happening. One thing that I think is so important
(14:19):
this is actually cut twenty team. Is Trump pointing out
that Elon is doing this. The things that he's doing,
he's doing with the direct stamp of approval and direction
of the President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Play twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I mean, you can't imagine a scenario where you would
have to rail am in or set up guardrails for him.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, I think I have guardrails.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah, Elon is somebody that I have a lot of
respect for, but you have to have guardress. He reports
to me, and he's doing a fantastic job. I wanted
somebody who's extremely intelligent.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
He's that.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
He's also a good cost cutter. You can't send an
average person into that Quagmar.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It's very dangerous.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Quagmar.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
This is a once in a generation and perhaps a
once in a lifetime, truly opportunity to start to rein
in the countdown clock to our economic calamity, which is
what the thirty six trillion dollar maybe it's thirty seven,
thirty five, whatever it is now thirty something trillion dollar
(15:28):
national debt is. It becomes a financial and mathematical inevitability
that this is going to create economic pain and if
we don't do anything about a devastation for future generations.
Look at the history of fiat currency, look at what
happens and people try to inflate away on sustainable debt.
(15:49):
It's a disaster. It's a math issue. You know, this
is the thing with Democrats. You know why we all
knew that things of the border were so bad that
ten million plus number under Biden. You can't hide from
ten million plus illegals. When that's in the When that
number is out there in the press, everyone can seize
on that and realize so more than New York City.
(16:11):
Would you ever flown into New York? You know, people
just think of New York as Manhattan. Obviously, I'm from there.
New York is a big city, is vast I've burrows.
Imagine an entire city of illegals coming under Biden's entire
New York city of illegals. Numbers tell us what's really
going on here? And Elon is working with the numbers.
And also Trump points this out. This is from the
(16:34):
interview with Brett Behar. The Elon's not even getting anything,
He's just trying to help America. This is nineteen. He
says he's gonna do everything that he can. I tell
him soon to check the Department of Education in the
military that's coming up.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Play it, trust Elon. Oh, he's not gaining anything. In fact,
I wonder how he can devote the time to it.
He's so into it. But I told him do that.
Then I'm going to tell him very soon, like maybe
in twenty four hours, to go check the Department of Education.
He's going to find the same thing. Then I'm going
to go to the military. Let's check the military. We're
going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of
(17:04):
fraud and abuse. And you know, the people elected me
on that. And we have a group of people that
you just can't get. I mean, these are really brilliant.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It's a group. I call it the Group of one hundred.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
We literally started off with fourteen or fifteen young geniuses.
Now we have one hundred young geniuses.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
And what's happened.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I'll probably get a lot from the show.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
People are calling up from all over the country wanting
to do and wanting to help Eline. You know, they
respect him and they respect me.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It's all true.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And if you told me if this was a screenplay
in Hollywood about how someone could fix the government, I
would say, you know, the most powerful and incredible political
figure of our lifetime, Donald Trump, teaming up with the
most visionary CEO of the last century. Yeah, that's not
going to happen. It's happening right now. My cell phone company, Puretalk,
(17:55):
has a new iPhone fourteen or Samsung Galaxy in your
future qualifying plan. Of just forty five dollars a month,
you can get one with Puretalk. Compare this offer just
about any other company out there, Puretalk comes ahead by
more than fifty percent in terms of cost savings. Those
big cell phone companies are offering a three year deal
at one hundred dollars a month, bundled with a new
(18:16):
cell phone. And yes this is for premium service, unlimited talk, text,
twenty five gigs of data, and mobile hotspot at a
fraction of the price of the big guys. Get your
Samsung Galaxy or iPhone fourteen at no cost by dialing
pound two fifty and say the keywords Clay and Buck,
and Puretalk's US customer service.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Team will help you make the switch.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Dial pound two five zero, say the keywords Clay, and
Buck and claim your Samsung Galaxy or iPhone fourteen on
Puretalk with qualifying purchase from Puretalk America's wireless company.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And welcome back in to Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
So we're talking about Trump running up the scoreboard, fantastic
and amazing first month in office, and Democrats getting very
upset about it. But as usual, they end up complaining
about process. They rely on far left activist judges to
just slow things down. These judges these orders, there are
(19:12):
these temporary restraining orders and injunctions and anything that makes
its way up to the Supreme Court about the stuff.
They're going to lose, and they know they're going to lose.
And in doing what they're doing. In doing what these
judges are doing, they are doing violence to the rule
of law and the constitution to work what kind of rule,
(19:32):
what kind of system we actually have, Because if a
judge is going to do something knowing it's going to
be overturned and knowing he's out of or she is
out of their lane, then they're showing themselves to be
well not impartial, and to be part as an activists.
That's what's going on right now. It's this is not
(19:53):
going to be a close call on some of this stuff,
with some of what these judges are doing. I mean,
there's absolutely if we live in a country where the
pres evidence congressionally approved, where you know, Senate confirmed Treasury
secretary can't get access to the Treasury payment system, then
we don't actually live in a republic. We have some
(20:14):
other system. We live in a kleptocracy. Apparently that's what
Elon's finding out, a system of stealing. And that's not
surprising you think about some of the Democrats who've been
in charge in recent years. You know, what you're seeing
here is a federal government that has the ethics of
Hunter Biden. You know, that's what you're seeing. And it
(20:35):
shouldn't be surprising at all, given that we've just had
four years of Joe Biden pretending to run the country
while he was just you know, puttering around as a
vegetable with a bunch of woke idiot advisors making all
the real decisions. But they are having a tough time
right now because the things that Trump is doing these
aren't you know, like hyper partisan ideological issues. Do you
(20:56):
want borders or not? Do you want criminal illegals to
be sent back to their home country. You want them
to keep murdering, raping, robbing the things that they're doing.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
In this country.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
These are you know, eighty twenty issues, maybe seventy thirty,
depending on which one we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Government waste fraud interviews.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Find me the person who says, I think hundreds of
billions of dollars of taxpayer money every year being either
illegally or just improperly given to people. When I say illegally,
the people that are defrauding the government are committing crimes.
You know, this is once they start looking into Medicare
and Medicaid, your mind's going to be blown. And this
(21:36):
they're trying to stop Elan from doing that. They're just
trying to do anything they can, and they're trying to
discredit him in the Doge team.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
It's not working.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Mark Halpern's a former Democrat. He goes on Newsmax a lot.
Now actually has a he he was one of the
only guys telling the truth about how Kamala was about
to get completely crushed.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You call. Let me get to the audio.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
In the biggest moment of Kamala enthusiasm surge, it was
in August. In fact, I remember this and ever says, oh, no,
Kamala is going to be Trump. I said, not only
is Kamala going to lose, but Trump is going to
win by more against Comma than he did against Hillary.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And that was correct.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
But Mark Halpern was also out there as a voice
the whole time saying, look, Kamala is a joke and
this is going to The Democrats are heading for a
world are hurt. So he will speak the truth about
these things. Isn't a fascinating now, it's if you're a
Democrat or even a former Democrat, who will speak the
truth about where the country is on these issues. That's
(22:35):
a brand identify er. It's like, oh, that guy actually
doesn't lie all the time. Here he is saying, the
Democrats are shockingly ineffective.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Right now, play four.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
I'm paid to not be baffled or speechless. That's been
by job. I'm baffled and somewhat speechless. I've been thinking
in the last couple of days, is there anything in
my career as a journalist that I've covered that I'd
compared to this? And the answer is no. The Democrats
are nowhere on the field. The press is nowhere on
the field. The liberal interest groups are nowhere on the field,
(23:08):
and they're the reasons for their being so ill prepared.
I think will be studied eventually. But the reality of
it now is he is just They have never seen
anything like not just the activity, but the inability of
his opponents to forget stopping him. They're barely, with a
few exceptions, even slowing him down.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Here's what I think, but I completely agree with that analysis.
They're barely even slowing Trump down. It's a beautiful thing.
You'll love to see it. But how did we get
to this point? What has changed? Why is it that
Democrats are in this moment? Remember I've been saying this,
Clay's been saying this, We've been talking about it ever
since Trump came into office. Democrats are just mi ia.
(23:51):
They're just gone. We don't know where they are, right,
I mean they have been. They don't even have They're
not even making a colling case against any of this stuff,
never mind really shutting it down. You know, they tried
to get the guy that is known as big Balls
fired and then Elon brought him back. I mean, the
old tricks don't work. The moral blackmail from Democrats doesn't work.
(24:15):
The allegations of racism or fascism or whatever. Everybody on
the right now knows that's just all trash, it's all garbage.
They don't approach any of this in good faith. The
other side will do and say absolutely anything, because they
have emotional, deep, emotional attachments to these ideas, and a
lot of them are just really bad ideas that hurt everybody.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Know.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
You'd have to say, Democrats may argue that they're not
pro crime, and yet all of their policies result in
more crime and more suffering and more violence, So aren't
they kind.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Of pro crime?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And they may argue with you if you said democrats
are pro government fraud, but everything they do and every
step they take and every position they hold means there's
more fraud than there would otherwise be right, same thing
with ilegal immigration and so on and so forth. They
would argue that they're not in favor of these things, but
they always make it worse and they always make more
(25:11):
of it. And the data is very clear and history
is very clear, and they don't care. They're emotionally attached
to these things. These are emotional ideas for them. It's
not rooted in reality.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
It's about feelings. How do they feel about this stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
And that's why right now they don't even really go
through the motions of trying to make a case against
what is happening with the government spending so much of
your money because people majority, remember the twenty percent is
going to sound a little bit like mint Romney right
back in the day. What was it the basket of
deplorables or whatever? No, well that was Hillary. He said,
(25:48):
like forty percent of the country. You're never going to
that's actually way too high. But twenty percent of the
country are they watch well they I mean a lot
less than that watches MSNBC. But there you put them
in the bucket of true believers for MSNBC and NPR
and New York Times and men can be women and
all twenty percent of the country is really on board.
(26:09):
You're never going to convince them of anything. They're gonna
go out that they you can't have a conversation with them.
They still double mask outside because they're afraid of you know,
COVID type fifteen or something coming for them. So you
forget about them. The best we can do is, you know,
you look at a lot of a lot of countries
have some political party that represents a bunch of fringe weirdos.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
They're Democrats and they have a lot of power in
the Democrat Party, but they're fringe weirdos. I mean they
they're emotionally unstable, they're psychologically they've got problems, a lot
of mental illness among that twenty percent, undiagnosed, untreated mental
illness that they then really focus in on their politics
with right, so one feeds into the other. Climate change,
we're all gonna die. Don't have kids because of climate change.
(26:53):
That's an anxiety disorder. And to really believe that, I mean,
you need to talk to a shrink. I can't somebody
who thinks they shouldn't have children. And as you know,
this is a widespread Democrat position. Maybe it's a twenty percent,
but that's twenty percent of three hundred million people.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Three hundred and fifty million. But you're thinking that the
world's going to end because the climate change. I mean
that's you have a psychological problem. You actually don't have
a political problem. And that's the truth of like I said,
a fifth of the Democrat Party. So we can't convince them,
we can't change their minds. But what Trump is doing
is getting up to fifty five percent, sixty percent, maybe
(27:30):
sixty five percent of the American people overall, who are saying, yeah,
keep going, keep doing this, We see this. Yeah, Republicans
are all with him, and we're just it's it's hard
to even take the time to celebrate any of these
wins because there are so many and they're coming so fast.
And it is also changing the conversation in important ways.
(27:51):
And I know that can sound a little you know, ephemeral, right,
change in the conversation.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
No, no, No, it's it's opening up our.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Eye to what has been done and then giving us
a sense of what could be done better going forward,
to what should be what must be done better going forward.
And this is where so much of the work that
DOGE is doing comes into effect, because people are seeing this,
and there's going to be a whole lot more. They
are just beginning. You know, Usually anytime government's going to
(28:23):
try to you know, if you're talking about government rating
itself in, or it's going to be some kind of
a commission and they'll have a meeting about how in
six months they'll have another meeting, and then in two
years they'll put out a report nobody's going to read,
and that's DC and they want it to stay that way.
They don't want that to change. And so when someone
(28:43):
comes along who has the capability to change that and
is doing so, it really rattles the cages. It upsets
the system. You know, Trump is just looking them right
in the eyes and pouring orange gatorade into their corn flakes,
you know what I mean. I mean, he's just saying, hey,
(29:06):
I'm in charge here. So it's been a remarkable few
weeks and we're just getting the starts at the start
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
But there's something else that is.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Emerging here, and it is an ugly side that we
have always known is there, but an ugly side not
just of the Democrat apparatus, but from within the law
enforcement community. This we're going to spend some time talking
about what's going on with the FBI. What the current
(29:38):
I don't know if we have to call them allegations.
It's coming from top people in the executive branch that
there are FBI agents who would subvert raids against dangerous
gang members because they think that they have some some
god given right to undermine federal policy, because they work
at the FBI. The FBI assigned thousands and thousand, thousands
(30:00):
of agents and various you know, admin personnel analysts to
look at January six cases. And I could already tell
you I've had conversation with friends of mine. You know,
I know a lot of people, particularly former law enforcement people.
I have friends from the I worked at the NYPD
for a short while, but you know I spent time
there and no people from there that trying to get
(30:23):
the FBI to focus on real stuff is somehow impossible.
You go, you talk to the FBI, say, hey, I
think this really bad thing, this very clearly illegal thing
is happening. You know that I heard about or in
my community or whatever. You know, can you do something
about it? You know, I think there's major cartel activity.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
In my neighborhood. Can you do something about it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I think someone's running a Ponzi scheme, ripping off you know,
people from their life savings, tens of millions of dollars.
Can you do something about it? And FBI is like,
I don't know, take it to somebody else. We're busy
with January sixth. Got to make sure we lock up
all those middle aged ladies with Fanny past walked into
Statuary Hall. Gotta make sure we get them pre dawn raid,
(31:05):
long guns drawn. What the heck is going on over there?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Now?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
We need to get cash in place. And you see,
this is the this is a part of it too.
We don't even have the full teen. This isn't even
full steam. We haven't even gotten Tulsa cash and RFK
Junior through. And look what's being done so far, and
look at how how much they're put on the defensive.
And we haven't even put all of our troops on
the battlefield, so to speak. So they have good reason
(31:34):
for concern because this time it is different. We'll get
into more of this here. I want to take some
of your calls as well. Eight hundred two A two
two eight A two. You heard me talk about it yesterday.
I love red meat. It is my My favorite food
is steak, Okay, my favorite thing to eat, my favorite protein.

(35:12):
It's very fancy. It's delicious. Like I said, we're going
to dive in here shortly to what's going on with
the enforcement side of the picture, law enforcement side of
the picture, Immigration and Customs Enforcement FBI. What is happening here?
Some good stuff on the deportations and ice raids. But
also then when I'm looking into this FBI stuff, I mean,
(35:35):
cash is going to have his hands fall and they're
going to have to really dig into what has gone on,
what has gone on here and who has been a
part of these extreme politicizations of federal law enforcement. I mean,
the fastest way really for a society to no longer
be free is for there to be a de facto
(35:58):
secret police operating in collusion with a partisan judiciary. Look
at any totalitarian society you'll have that. So the biggest
real threat to our freedom in an imminent sense is
to have people running around with guns on the behalf
of the state who are operating as an arm of
(36:19):
one political party, and then have judges in certain places
in certain districts who make sure that you have no
rights and are destroyed if you're part of the political
political target set. So we're going to dive into that here.
It's going to talk about J six and all that
coming up. And also Trump just sat down with the
King of Jordan, King of Dullah, so i'll have some
(36:42):
soundbites from that. It's all coming up.
Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Tuesday edition I'll be Klay, Travis and Buck Sexton show
kicks off now a man Clay taking a day to
go speak to the youth at a university. He'll be
back with us tomorrow. I'm riding solo today. I have
the con here in CNB world and we're going to
dive into it. So much going on thanks to Trump
(00:24):
to doze the overall headline. I think we aren't even
close to being tired of winning, but there's a lot
of winning going on. The Democrats, the left, they are
running scared right now in so many ways. Some hashtag
resistance judges doing what they can to gum up the works,
but they're not going to be able to stop the
(00:46):
steamroller from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue all alone.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
This is going to continue on.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We've got more on what Trump is doing and also
the way the public is viewing it, which these two
things going to get there are what is terrifying the Democrats,
I think so much. You've got more on immigration enforcement
going on, very troubling indications that there may have been
(01:13):
It seems that there were leaks about coming ice raids
targeting a violent Venezuelan gang, which has a lot of illegals.
I'll explain that story later on more on Doge. Looking
at the different absurd contracts, you know, the puppet shows
(01:37):
in ulan Bator and all the other stuff that they've
been funding. I think it's the capital of Mongolia for
those who are curious. And Eric Adams has had it
looks to see it looks to be that his charges
are are going to get dropped by the Trump DJ
which we can discuss that as well. I think there's
a lot that is going on here, but let me
(02:00):
start with this. They were not expecting anything that we
see happening right now. The Democrats are caught quite flat
footed with all of this, despite the fact that Trump
is doing what he said he would do. Trump is
following through on explicit promises made repeatedly throughout his campaign.
(02:24):
Things that he said would get done right away are
getting done right away. The partnership with the brilliant Elon
Musk and Doge is already bearing fruit. Anyone who believes
that government waste and government accountability matter should be rooting
for Doge. So why are so many Democrats upset? Calling
(02:49):
it a constitutional crisis? Some even saying we should throw
Doge people in jail. It's because they can't win on
the merits. If the American peace people were to know
what the argument is that the Democrats really have here,
which is they have created a system that allows them
(03:10):
to have power and funding and to have effectively a
shadow government through the fourth branch, the unelected branch, the bureaucracy.
If Democrats just came out and said that, if they
explained to the American people, hey, you know how over
the last seventy years, we completely took over the university
(03:30):
system in this country, filled it with radical kami wackos,
and now you can't find anybody who has an evensane,
never mind conservative point of view in a vast majority
of campus political science and English and humanities departments and everything.
They've done that with the federal government too, At the
(03:50):
federal bureaucracy, it has become a fiefdom of the left.
It has become a source of votes and power and funding.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You see, they get the funding from you, the taxpayer,
and then they donate money back to the political party,
the Democrats that make sure.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
This is the self.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Licking ice cream cone that I keep telling you about
this is what is happening, and that's why they're so upset.
But they have to find process concerns. They have to find.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Oh, but this is a constitutional crisis. In what way?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It's a constitutional crisis for President Trump to say that
USAID employees should return to the country. It's a constitutional
crisis for the head of the executive branch to be
able to run the executive branch. Who's really in charge here?
Take a step back, who's really in charge of the
Treasury Department? Pretty big deal, pretty important place. If federal
(04:51):
judges appointed by Democrat presidents can take it upon themselves
to say, the Treasury secretary, you heard that right, The
Treasury Secretary does not have full access to everything that
is going on in the Treasury Department that he's supposed
to be overseeing. Who really runs the country? Who really
runs the government? I told you this from the start,
(05:14):
from back in the campaign, back when I had tremendous
confidence Trump would win. There are going to be two
critical battles that will determine the success or failure of
Trump two point zero Immigration enforcement, the legal aliens, the
invasion the border, and this the deep state, the swamp,
(05:36):
the fight against the system, the bureaucracy inside of DC,
because if you don't win these the next election doesn't
really matter that much, does it. If they're flooding the
country with the legals and changing the demographics and changing
the electorate of America, basically diluting Americans with non Americans
who break the law, with foreigners who have broken the law,
(06:00):
foreign nationals, illegal aliens. And then you have a bureaucracy
that keeps the funding in place, keeps the bloated jobs
programs that are all of these different federal agencies have
that get to make and regulate laws effectively all throughout
our lives.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
What's the point of the election? Who really runs the country?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Because if it's going to be some system that doesn't
have to even care what the actual president says and
believes about what they're doing, why are we wasting our time?
We're in a remarkable world now, aren't we think about it?
It has become essentially constitutionally normalized that a president of
(06:44):
the United States can launch a military action without Congress.
I think of how many times this has happened. When
was the last time Congress actually declared war World War two?
When was the last time there was actually a situation
where the Congress said, yes, we are in a state
of war. And think of how many wars we've actually
(07:04):
been in. So that has been entirely normalized. Meanwhile, so
we're told that's constitutional. A president can start a war
without Congress. But a president can't tell members of USAID
that they have to come home from abroad, shut down
(07:25):
DEI offices within the bureaucracy, tell people that they can
have buyouts if they want to leave federal service.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Right, think about that.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You can start a war, mister president, but you can't
reign in the bureaucracy. Something is wrong here. You want
to talk about constitutional crisis. Something has really gone awry,
and that is what Trump is trying to address, and
that is what is happening right now.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But here's the part of it that Here is the
part of it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That they did not anticipate. Not only Trump coming out
of the gate here full force, doing everything that he can,
here's the other part of it. The American people are
with him on this. They are seeing what is going on.
It's not just whether Trump is winning each of these
(08:20):
individual battles. That's not the only part of this that matters.
Although it's important. It's also exposing what is going on
and exposing the other sides treachery, showing you what the
Democrat Party is really all about. The forever government, the
unaccountable government. You better pay every dollar in taxes that
(08:43):
the IRS says they know you, oh, but they won't
tell you until you mess up. Meanwhile, the government can
spend whatever it wants, and the bureaucrats can do whatever
they want, and they're protected by civil service protections. They're
protected by some make believe constitutional right to have the
most bloated, ineffectual federal bureaucracy in the history of the planet.
(09:04):
Somehow that is the America that you're supposed to live in.
But here's the problem that they have. As I said,
Trump is taking the actions, his team and Elon are
making these moves, and the American people are seeing it
and are with them. Support for immigration enforcement has never
(09:24):
been higher than it is right now, since they've been
doing these kinds of polls. Support for a limiting waste,
fraud and abuse. Elon Musk is thinking he's going to
find hundreds of billions of dollars that's either being lit
on fire in essence or more to the point given
to people who have no right to it, shouldn't get it,
and maybe are criminals for taking it. How could anyone
(09:47):
be opposed to that? Why would they say that the
Treasury Department shouldn't give access to the Treasury Secretary and
other duly appointed personnel by the President of the United
States himself. This is the fight. This is what's so important.
We have flipped over the log in DC. Trump has
kicked over the woody, the wooded stump, and there's just
(10:11):
grubs and things crawling all over the place. This swamp personified.
They don't like this, but they don't have a way
to stop it.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Really.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They've got some judges, they've got some crying on TV.
But the American people are seeing it, and that is
as much a part of the change as the actual
executive orders themselves. This is CNN's data guru. This has
cut three about the enormous surge in popularity across the board.
Nobody can deny this. All the polling shows it that
(10:44):
Donald Trump is having right. Now play three.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You go back to twenty seventeen, Trump was already underwater
at minus five points from anot approval rating. That's approval
minus systo, what a difference eight years makes. He's on
the positive side of the Ledger at plus four points.
And again, it's not just the CBS News, Paul, We're
talking about the Gallup pole, We're talking about the IPSOS poll,
we are talking about the pepole. All of these respective
pollsters have Trump in a better position now than they
(11:08):
did eight years ago. Entire first term, just eleven days,
just eleven days, Donald Trump had a net positive approval rating.
Compare that to the second term. Just so far, just
so far, every single day of Trump's second term, so far,
he has been on the positive side of the ledger
twenty one days, all three weeks. That's already ten more
(11:29):
days than he was in his entire first term.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Trump is winning and they know it, and we know it.
You and I know it. This is what you are feeling,
this is what you are observing happening in the country
right now. Doing the things that needed to be done
that others in the Republican Party were scared to do
or refuse to do. And the American people are seeing
(11:57):
the truth. And this is just the beginning. The left
is going to get more desperate. They're going to get nastier.
They're going to lie, cheat, and steel. That's what they
always do, That's who they are. But if Trump and
the team and Elon keep the pressure on, we can
have a transformational presidency here, to restore the sovereignty of
(12:19):
the American people, to restore the accountability of the federal government,
to make the dollar something that we don't all assume
at some point is just going to collapse into nothing.
This can be done, and it is being done right now,
and it is critical that all of us watch this
with open eyes and supported and that Trump and the
(12:40):
Republicans keep the pressure on. Since two thousand and one,
the Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been looking after the
families of our first responders and those defending our freedoms.
Thomas Kennedy is one of those individuals. After joining the
US Army, Thomas Kennedy served two tours of duty in
Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Iaron does of awards and
(13:00):
service medals throughout his honorable career. While he was deployed
in eastern Afghanistan, this soldier's life was tragically cut short.
Thomas was killed by a Taliban suicide bomber. He left
behind his wife, Cammy, and their beautiful twins, Maggie and Brody,
who were just week shy of their second birthday when
they lost their father.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Because of friends like.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You, Cammy and her children did not face their loss alone.
Tunalta Towers provided their family with a mortgage free home.
You and other caring friends helped Tunnel the Towers to
step in and offer a ray of hope to Cammy,
Maggie and Brody. Families like the Kennedys, who have sacrificed,
sacrificed so much for us in our nation need your
help now more than ever. Donate eleven dollars a month

Speaker 2 (13:58):
We're talking about's froump steamrolling the opposition and you love
to see it. America is healing. The Communists are in
flight and full of fright, and it is a beautiful thing.
So we'll get into more of how that's happening. Why
that's happening. One thing that I think is so important
(14:19):
this is actually cut twenty team. Is Trump pointing out
that Elon is doing this. The things that he's doing,
he's doing with the direct stamp of approval and direction
of the President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Play twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I mean, you can't imagine a scenario where you would
have to rail am in or set up guardrails for him.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, I think I have guardrails.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah, Elon is somebody that I have a lot of
respect for, but you have to have guardress. He reports
to me, and he's doing a fantastic job. I wanted
somebody who's extremely intelligent.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
He's that.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
He's also a good cost cutter. You can't send an
average person into that Quagmar.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It's very dangerous.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Quagmar.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
This is a once in a generation and perhaps a
once in a lifetime, truly opportunity to start to rein
in the countdown clock to our economic calamity, which is
what the thirty six trillion dollar maybe it's thirty seven,
thirty five, whatever it is now thirty something trillion dollar
(15:28):
national debt is. It becomes a financial and mathematical inevitability
that this is going to create economic pain and if
we don't do anything about a devastation for future generations.
Look at the history of fiat currency, look at what
happens and people try to inflate away on sustainable debt.
(15:49):
It's a disaster. It's a math issue. You know, this
is the thing with Democrats. You know why we all
knew that things of the border were so bad that
ten million plus number under Biden. You can't hide from
ten million plus illegals. When that's in the When that
number is out there in the press, everyone can seize
on that and realize so more than New York City.
(16:11):
Would you ever flown into New York? You know, people
just think of New York as Manhattan. Obviously, I'm from there.
New York is a big city, is vast I've burrows.
Imagine an entire city of illegals coming under Biden's entire
New York city of illegals. Numbers tell us what's really
going on here? And Elon is working with the numbers.
And also Trump points this out. This is from the
(16:34):
interview with Brett Behar. The Elon's not even getting anything,
He's just trying to help America. This is nineteen. He
says he's gonna do everything that he can. I tell
him soon to check the Department of Education in the
military that's coming up.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Play it, trust Elon. Oh, he's not gaining anything. In fact,
I wonder how he can devote the time to it.
He's so into it. But I told him do that.
Then I'm going to tell him very soon, like maybe
in twenty four hours, to go check the Department of Education.
He's going to find the same thing. Then I'm going
to go to the military. Let's check the military. We're
going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of
(17:04):
fraud and abuse. And you know, the people elected me
on that. And we have a group of people that
you just can't get. I mean, these are really brilliant.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It's a group. I call it the Group of one hundred.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
We literally started off with fourteen or fifteen young geniuses.
Now we have one hundred young geniuses.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
And what's happened.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I'll probably get a lot from the show.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
People are calling up from all over the country wanting
to do and wanting to help Eline. You know, they
respect him and they respect me.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It's all true.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And if you told me if this was a screenplay
in Hollywood about how someone could fix the government, I
would say, you know, the most powerful and incredible political
figure of our lifetime, Donald Trump, teaming up with the
most visionary CEO of the last century. Yeah, that's not
going to happen. It's happening right now. My cell phone company, Puretalk,
(17:55):
has a new iPhone fourteen or Samsung Galaxy in your
future qualifying plan. Of just forty five dollars a month,
you can get one with Puretalk. Compare this offer just
about any other company out there, Puretalk comes ahead by
more than fifty percent in terms of cost savings. Those
big cell phone companies are offering a three year deal
at one hundred dollars a month, bundled with a new

twenty five gigs of data, and mobile hotspot at a
fraction of the price of the big guys. Get your
Samsung Galaxy or iPhone fourteen at no cost by dialing
pound two fifty and say the keywords Clay and Buck,

Speaker 2 (18:49):
So we're talking about Trump running up the scoreboard, fantastic
and amazing first month in office, and Democrats getting very
upset about it. But as usual, they end up complaining
about process. They rely on far left activist judges to
just slow things down. These judges these orders, there are
(19:12):
these temporary restraining orders and injunctions and anything that makes
its way up to the Supreme Court about the stuff.
They're going to lose, and they know they're going to lose.
And in doing what they're doing. In doing what these
judges are doing, they are doing violence to the rule
of law and the constitution to work what kind of rule,
(19:32):
what kind of system we actually have, Because if a
judge is going to do something knowing it's going to
be overturned and knowing he's out of or she is
out of their lane, then they're showing themselves to be
well not impartial, and to be part as an activists.
That's what's going on right now. It's this is not
(19:53):
going to be a close call on some of this stuff,
with some of what these judges are doing. I mean,
there's absolutely if we live in a country where the
pres evidence congressionally approved, where you know, Senate confirmed Treasury
secretary can't get access to the Treasury payment system, then
we don't actually live in a republic. We have some
(20:14):
other system. We live in a kleptocracy. Apparently that's what
Elon's finding out, a system of stealing. And that's not
surprising you think about some of the Democrats who've been
in charge in recent years. You know, what you're seeing
here is a federal government that has the ethics of
Hunter Biden. You know, that's what you're seeing. And it
(20:35):
shouldn't be surprising at all, given that we've just had
four years of Joe Biden pretending to run the country
while he was just you know, puttering around as a
vegetable with a bunch of woke idiot advisors making all
the real decisions. But they are having a tough time
right now because the things that Trump is doing these
aren't you know, like hyper partisan ideological issues. Do you
(20:56):
want borders or not? Do you want criminal illegals to
be sent back to their home country. You want them
to keep murdering, raping, robbing the things that they're doing.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
In this country.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
These are you know, eighty twenty issues, maybe seventy thirty,
depending on which one we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Government waste fraud interviews.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Find me the person who says, I think hundreds of
billions of dollars of taxpayer money every year being either
illegally or just improperly given to people. When I say illegally,
the people that are defrauding the government are committing crimes.
You know, this is once they start looking into Medicare
and Medicaid, your mind's going to be blown. And this
(21:36):
they're trying to stop Elan from doing that. They're just
trying to do anything they can, and they're trying to
discredit him in the Doge team.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
It's not working.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Mark Halpern's a former Democrat. He goes on Newsmax a lot.
Now actually has a he he was one of the
only guys telling the truth about how Kamala was about
to get completely crushed.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You call. Let me get to the audio.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
In the biggest moment of Kamala enthusiasm surge, it was
in August. In fact, I remember this and ever says, oh, no,
Kamala is going to be Trump. I said, not only
is Kamala going to lose, but Trump is going to
win by more against Comma than he did against Hillary.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And that was correct.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
But Mark Halpern was also out there as a voice
the whole time saying, look, Kamala is a joke and
this is going to The Democrats are heading for a
world are hurt. So he will speak the truth about
these things. Isn't a fascinating now, it's if you're a
Democrat or even a former Democrat, who will speak the
truth about where the country is on these issues. That's
(22:35):
a brand identify er. It's like, oh, that guy actually
doesn't lie all the time. Here he is saying, the
Democrats are shockingly ineffective.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Right now, play four.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
I'm paid to not be baffled or speechless. That's been
by job. I'm baffled and somewhat speechless. I've been thinking
in the last couple of days, is there anything in
my career as a journalist that I've covered that I'd
compared to this? And the answer is no. The Democrats
are nowhere on the field. The press is nowhere on
the field. The liberal interest groups are nowhere on the field,
(23:08):
and they're the reasons for their being so ill prepared.
I think will be studied eventually. But the reality of
it now is he is just They have never seen
anything like not just the activity, but the inability of
his opponents to forget stopping him. They're barely, with a
few exceptions, even slowing him down.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Here's what I think, but I completely agree with that analysis.
They're barely even slowing Trump down. It's a beautiful thing.
You'll love to see it. But how did we get
to this point? What has changed? Why is it that
Democrats are in this moment? Remember I've been saying this,
Clay's been saying this, We've been talking about it ever
since Trump came into office. Democrats are just mi ia.
(23:51):
They're just gone. We don't know where they are, right,
I mean they have been. They don't even have They're
not even making a colling case against any of this stuff,
never mind really shutting it down. You know, they tried
to get the guy that is known as big Balls
fired and then Elon brought him back. I mean, the
old tricks don't work. The moral blackmail from Democrats doesn't work.
(24:15):
The allegations of racism or fascism or whatever. Everybody on
the right now knows that's just all trash, it's all garbage.
They don't approach any of this in good faith. The
other side will do and say absolutely anything, because they
have emotional, deep, emotional attachments to these ideas, and a
lot of them are just really bad ideas that hurt everybody.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Know.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
You'd have to say, Democrats may argue that they're not
pro crime, and yet all of their policies result in
more crime and more suffering and more violence, So aren't
they kind.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Of pro crime?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And they may argue with you if you said democrats
are pro government fraud, but everything they do and every
step they take and every position they hold means there's
more fraud than there would otherwise be right, same thing
with ilegal immigration and so on and so forth. They
would argue that they're not in favor of these things, but
they always make it worse and they always make more
(25:11):
of it. And the data is very clear and history
is very clear, and they don't care. They're emotionally attached
to these things. These are emotional ideas for them. It's
not rooted in reality.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
It's about feelings. How do they feel about this stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
And that's why right now they don't even really go
through the motions of trying to make a case against
what is happening with the government spending so much of
your money because people majority, remember the twenty percent is
going to sound a little bit like mint Romney right
back in the day. What was it the basket of
deplorables or whatever? No, well that was Hillary. He said,
(25:48):
like forty percent of the country. You're never going to
that's actually way too high. But twenty percent of the
country are they watch well they I mean a lot
less than that watches MSNBC. But there you put them
in the bucket of true believers for MSNBC and NPR
and New York Times and men can be women and
all twenty percent of the country is really on board.
(26:09):
You're never going to convince them of anything. They're gonna
go out that they you can't have a conversation with them.
They still double mask outside because they're afraid of you know,
COVID type fifteen or something coming for them. So you
forget about them. The best we can do is, you know,
you look at a lot of a lot of countries
have some political party that represents a bunch of fringe weirdos.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
They're Democrats and they have a lot of power in
the Democrat Party, but they're fringe weirdos. I mean they
they're emotionally unstable, they're psychologically they've got problems, a lot
of mental illness among that twenty percent, undiagnosed, untreated mental
illness that they then really focus in on their politics
with right, so one feeds into the other. Climate change,
we're all gonna die. Don't have kids because of climate change.
(26:53):
That's an anxiety disorder. And to really believe that, I mean,
you need to talk to a shrink. I can't somebody
who thinks they shouldn't have children. And as you know,
this is a widespread Democrat position. Maybe it's a twenty percent,
but that's twenty percent of three hundred million people.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Three hundred and fifty million. But you're thinking that the
world's going to end because the climate change. I mean
that's you have a psychological problem. You actually don't have
a political problem. And that's the truth of like I said,
a fifth of the Democrat Party. So we can't convince them,
we can't change their minds. But what Trump is doing
is getting up to fifty five percent, sixty percent, maybe
(27:30):
sixty five percent of the American people overall, who are saying, yeah,
keep going, keep doing this, We see this. Yeah, Republicans
are all with him, and we're just it's it's hard
to even take the time to celebrate any of these
wins because there are so many and they're coming so fast.
And it is also changing the conversation in important ways.
(27:51):
And I know that can sound a little you know, ephemeral, right,
change in the conversation.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
No, no, No, it's it's opening up our.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Eye to what has been done and then giving us
a sense of what could be done better going forward,
to what should be what must be done better going forward.
And this is where so much of the work that
DOGE is doing comes into effect, because people are seeing this,
and there's going to be a whole lot more. They
are just beginning. You know, Usually anytime government's going to
(28:23):
try to you know, if you're talking about government rating
itself in, or it's going to be some kind of
a commission and they'll have a meeting about how in
six months they'll have another meeting, and then in two
years they'll put out a report nobody's going to read,
and that's DC and they want it to stay that way.
They don't want that to change. And so when someone
(28:43):
comes along who has the capability to change that and
is doing so, it really rattles the cages. It upsets
the system. You know, Trump is just looking them right
in the eyes and pouring orange gatorade into their corn flakes,
you know what I mean. I mean, he's just saying, hey,
(29:06):
I'm in charge here. So it's been a remarkable few
weeks and we're just getting the starts at the start
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
But there's something else that is.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Emerging here, and it is an ugly side that we
have always known is there, but an ugly side not
just of the Democrat apparatus, but from within the law
enforcement community. This we're going to spend some time talking
about what's going on with the FBI. What the current
(29:38):
I don't know if we have to call them allegations.
It's coming from top people in the executive branch that
there are FBI agents who would subvert raids against dangerous
gang members because they think that they have some some
god given right to undermine federal policy, because they work
at the FBI. The FBI assigned thousands and thousand, thousands
(30:00):
of agents and various you know, admin personnel analysts to
look at January six cases. And I could already tell
you I've had conversation with friends of mine. You know,
I know a lot of people, particularly former law enforcement people.
I have friends from the I worked at the NYPD
for a short while, but you know I spent time
there and no people from there that trying to get
(30:23):
the FBI to focus on real stuff is somehow impossible.
You go, you talk to the FBI, say, hey, I
think this really bad thing, this very clearly illegal thing
is happening. You know that I heard about or in
my community or whatever. You know, can you do something
about it? You know, I think there's major cartel activity.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
In my neighborhood. Can you do something about it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I think someone's running a Ponzi scheme, ripping off you know,
people from their life savings, tens of millions of dollars.
Can you do something about it? And FBI is like,
I don't know, take it to somebody else. We're busy
with January sixth. Got to make sure we lock up
all those middle aged ladies with Fanny past walked into
Statuary Hall. Gotta make sure we get them pre dawn raid,
(31:05):
long guns drawn. What the heck is going on over there?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Now?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
We need to get cash in place. And you see,
this is the this is a part of it too.
We don't even have the full teen. This isn't even
full steam. We haven't even gotten Tulsa cash and RFK
Junior through. And look what's being done so far, and
look at how how much they're put on the defensive.
And we haven't even put all of our troops on
the battlefield, so to speak. So they have good reason
(31:34):
for concern because this time it is different. We'll get
into more of this here. I want to take some
of your calls as well. Eight hundred two A two
two eight A two. You heard me talk about it yesterday.
I love red meat. It is my My favorite food
is steak, Okay, my favorite thing to eat, my favorite protein.
I eat a lot of chicken too, though a lot
of pork, eat a lot of fish. I'm a I'm
(31:56):
a meat I'm a meat and protein's guy. And Kerry
knows I'm in charge of the steak. I make an
amazing steak on my castle.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
On.
Speaker 2 (32:03):

good quality meat, doesn't matter what techniques use. Really you

(35:12):
It's very fancy. It's delicious. Like I said, we're going
to dive in here shortly to what's going on with
the enforcement side of the picture, law enforcement side of
the picture, Immigration and Customs Enforcement FBI. What is happening here?
Some good stuff on the deportations and ice raids. But
also then when I'm looking into this FBI stuff, I mean,
(35:35):
cash is going to have his hands fall and they're
going to have to really dig into what has gone on,
what has gone on here and who has been a
part of these extreme politicizations of federal law enforcement. I mean,
the fastest way really for a society to no longer
be free is for there to be a de facto
(35:58):
secret police operating in collusion with a partisan judiciary. Look
at any totalitarian society you'll have that. So the biggest
real threat to our freedom in an imminent sense is
to have people running around with guns on the behalf
of the state who are operating as an arm of
(36:19):
one political party, and then have judges in certain places
in certain districts who make sure that you have no
rights and are destroyed if you're part of the political
political target set. So we're going to dive into that here.
It's going to talk about J six and all that
coming up. And also Trump just sat down with the
King of Jordan, King of Dullah, so i'll have some
(36:42):
soundbites from that. It's all coming up.
