Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a rich discussion on American history and culture. The hosts explore the potential for new, historically accurate TV series, emphasizing the untapped stories of American explorers like Lewis and Clark. They critique the current state of entertainment, lamenting the lack of quality historical content and the industry's reluctance to produce shows that celebrate Western civilization and American heritage. The conversation touches on the importance of traditional storytelling and the need for more pro-America narratives, especially as the 250th anniversary of America's independence approaches. The hour also features a critical look at the judicial challenges facing the Trump administration, particularly in its efforts to deport violent criminals and gang members. Clay and Buck discuss the significant reduction in illegal border crossings and the administration's success in capturing top MS-13 leaders. They highlight the ongoing battle between the executive branch and the judiciary, emphasizing the need for the Supreme Court to clarify the extent of presidential powers in enforcing immigration laws. FBI Direction Kash Patel and AG Pam Bondi are doing a fantastic job.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, second hour Clay and Buck kicks off now.
Thank you for being here, everybody, appreciate all of you.
We're getting great talkbacks in. We're going through them. We're
gonna play some this hour for sure. Also light up
those lines. Those of you who like the live call,
see we are a multi platform here, my friends. The
iHeart app fantastic. Make sure you have that app on
(00:20):
your phone. You don't download it, it's free. I use
it all the time personally. I used to listen to
radio stations. I use listening to their podcast. But you
can use the talkback feature on the Clay in Buck
page and we really enjoy it. It's great. And if
you don't make it on air with the just know
that we do hear it. So those of you who
write in to say that Clay looks incredibly handsome in
(00:40):
the flute playing shirtless AI stuff online, he sees that
we just don't always get to play those talkbacks on
the air, so he's very Clay was not mad about
the shirtless flute playing with Sydney Sweeney that was popping
up online yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Thanks, I would have made a billion dollars, would have
made a billion. I'm just trying to give gifts to
the people out here. Bob Igers should be listening to
the show. He'd be a stock price to be doing
a lot better. I do think Clay, we're at the
point where we need to start having a conversation and
and pulling this together with the contacts that we have,
and I would just want to work, you know, work
on this.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You're I I think your idea about Undaunted Courage. I mean,
you'd have to get the rights to use the name
in that book, but the story, the historical story of
Lewis and Clark would be an incredible, incredible series. And
I just see, I see, I see what Taylor Sheridan
is doing and what he's tapping into. And I respect that.
(01:38):
You know, he's he's going. He's earned what he's gotten
in terms of he is running with stuff that is
more you know, about entertainment and about America and stuff
that I think some of it could be. I think
he's a little overwhelmed with making too many things at once,
and some of the stuff's been a little slap dash,
But overall, he's incredibly Guy's worth tons of mone now
(02:00):
because of this. But I think that getting a series
done on Lois and Clark expedition would be something to consider. Man,
you know, there's there's ways to get this stuff done
out there now and to and to raise the money
and to bring people into do it appropriately. And I
just think it would be fantastic and people really appreciate.
Look at the the podcast, like the Bible in a year,
I mean, look at the things that are It's always
(02:22):
a shock, a shock success when you go with traditional
great stories, and especially if you go with either traditional
Biblical you know, Judeo Christian, or you go with traditional Americana. Yeah,
the American market tents to like that stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Also. The stories are incredible, right, I mean the American
history stories that haven't been told Lewis and Clark is
a no brainer. I mean, if you read Undawned Courage,
but you gave me, was it the the ernest Shackleton stories?
I mean, the Great Explorer stories? How have there not been?
(03:04):
And I know it's because they're worried about oh, colonialism.
Let me just say this clip it, share it, right,
have it echo throughout the entire world. Western civilization is
a good thing, and almost every country that was ever
colonized is in a better position today than it would
have been if the colonization had never happened. I don't
(03:26):
know why people aren't willing to say this, but Western
civilization is the reason why we are not all living,
to a large extent still in caves. Right. You find
the best things that are created in the world, and
you bring them to as many people as possible. I
love reading about the explorers because of the risks that
(03:47):
they took buck, but some of the stuff that they
were risking for still blow my mind. Spices, you know,
we don't even think about the value both for most
of us. I know some of your probably spice stars.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Salt was a tremendously valuable resalt, like what we just
sort of assume is going to be on every table
at every restaurant, and we buy by the pound for
like a dollar. The word salary comes from the Roman
for salt, because they would pay the army in pouches
of salt sometimes instead of in coin.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The most spices think about this. The entire to a
large extent, exploring world was developed and explored in the
pursuit of spices and these magical spice islands. I mean,
I encourage you if you are interested at all in
the world of exploration, that era, that fourteen hundreds, fifteen hundred,
(04:41):
sixteen hundreds, Magellan, certainly Columbus discovering the New World, all
of that era is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I mean, and there would be a credit about it.
People have talked about and I've thought this too. Cortez
would be an amazing TV series, probably the most unb
believable military conquest against the odds and all history when
you when you actually look at it and think about
what happened here to take over for five hundred men,
give or take a few hundred men, to take over
(05:10):
an empire with millions, literally millions of people. Other way,
it's a salary. It's actually that they would give them
some coin to buy the salt which they needed. But
salary comes from, you know, from the root word salt
to the antient rome. I just want to make sure I
know the uh, you know, Clay, The pronunciation police are rough,
but the word derivation police are even They don't they
(05:32):
don't play any games in the oh Man also nerdier.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Even then the pronunciation police, the word derivation police are
even nerdier. But your point, just using history where you
don't have to pay, to a large extent, very much
for copyright or ip because the stories are in the
public domain. It is incredible to me the stories that
are not being told that would actually be very ennobling
(06:00):
for larger humanity, just in my stories.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I was sitting there with my dad last night trying
to figure out he's visiting down here in South South Florida,
and you know, we're sitting there and we're trying to
figure out what we're gonna watch, and we're just going
through Netflix and he's, you know, he's like me, but
with silver hair. It's funny. The people here that were
letting him in the at the front desk, they're like,
they didn't even call up, Like, yeah, I knew it's
(06:23):
your dad. I just look at him. He looks like you,
but with gray hair. I'm like yeah, so, but we're
looking and he's like, trash, trash, trash on Netflix. And
he's right, it's just trash that they're all these like
he's not being a grouch. He's correct, it's just trash
shows one after another that are made. And there are
so many stories that are on top. I mean, I
think the Barbary Pirates, if you did that well, would
(06:44):
be awesome people learn about about you know, Stephen Decatur
and the raid and all these amazing things. There's so
many great stories and there are things that people would
want to see and that would inspire and that would
teach history to do all this cool stuff. So I
just have that's part of it. I think every you
know we're in, I guess the entertainment business, right. I
mean it's media, it's news, but it's the entertainment business.
(07:06):
And when I see people who have the resources at
their disposal to inspire and entertain millions and millions of Americans,
and they just completely mess the whole thing up, like
what we're seeing with And it's not just one movie, right,
it's over and over again, but it's no why it's
just the most recent example of it's it's inexcusable to me.
(07:30):
It's like, who are these people and why are they
so bad at this?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah? And I think part of it is to your point.
I love when you pointed out that there's a black
female Viking in the Viking story. Some parts of history
are not going to be that diverse because for large
parts of history there were not great diversity in many countries, right,
like Japan looked like Japan in the United States in
(07:56):
the early days of the United States looked like the
United States. Certainly England did, Sweden did. There is a
certain look that the country's had, right, most people were
culturally looked very similar. And I think one of the
reasons they won't do the stories is because they are
concerned about who the stars of the stories are. And
(08:16):
so if you do Valley Forge, for instance, which would
be can you imagine that story in the early inception
of the United States, to tell the story of George
Washington holding together the revolution, there's a lot of white
guys who are stars the falling of the country, a
lot of white guys involved. I think it's unfortunate for Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And here's another example. What's the best show or a
movie about the American Revolution?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
There are a few.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'm not saying they haven't been done, But when you
think about the richness of that period and how much
people would love you have The Patriot with mel Gibson,
which I think would be a lot of people, which
would be twenty years ago at this point, I mean,
it's a generation ago. Now, Well, this is what I
was what I was going to say, and you just
came the same conclusion. Is everything that you're going to
name essentially is from decades ago. So somehow technology and
(09:08):
the money going into the entertainment industry is more than
it has ever been. And you know, you have places
like Amazon and Netflix that can they can they can
make shows that are ten million dollars an episode, which
is what they were doing with Game of Thrones. Game
of Thrones was it was like a ten million dollar
episode series. And they can do that, and somehow they're
still turning out trash now, trash after trash, and it's
(09:30):
just it's, uh, it doesn't have to be this way,
and it's reflective of broader themes that we talk about
in the politics and the culture day in and day out.
This is this is you know, the America should be
the mother load of great stories and ideas and entertainment
for the whole rest of the world and specifically for
America first and foremost, and we've lost some of that.
(09:51):
And I think it's starting to turn and maybe gonna
come back.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I don't know if there will be things set up.
Next year is the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
America declaring independence and should that should be twenty twenty six,
seventeen seventy six to twenty twenty six, that should be
a time. To your argument, Buck, where there are a
(10:16):
lot of pro America American history stories, are they being
made right now? I don't know, you know, because the
truth of the matter is there's a multi year lag
from hey idea to inception, to the taping, to the
to the evolution to it reaching the audience. I hope
that you are going to see some of those things.
(10:38):
I'm very skeptical and to your point, there's never been
more money being spent on content, and yet if you
think about something that was really well done that has
to do with American history. I mean, here's a good question.
What was the last really good, well made American history story?
You mentioned the Patriot. I think some people would say, okay,
(10:59):
the Patriot that was two thousand and four, two thousand
and five.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Probably the HBO John Adams series was good. But you know,
we're thinking about from that period, right, that was good.
I don't think Paul Giamatti would have been my first choice,
but whatever he's you know, people are like, oh, but
GIAMMANI okay, he's a good actor. I think it was solid.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, but they just haven't. I mean, there hasn't been anything.
They're afraid to make anything having to do with Civil War,
right like, if it has a Confederate flag in it,
you can't.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Well, I think I think you're touching on I think
you're touching on this again. I think that or rather,
you're going to the next part of our conversation right away,
which is I think that they would worry about showing people.
I think that there are a lot of those who
are in the creative side of things and work at
Netflix and work at Amazon, and you know those are
that's really the new movie studio. Just to be clear,
it's it's it's Apple, it's Amazon, it's Netflix, because they
(11:48):
can write any check they want for whatever content they want.
I think they're worried about showing George Washington in too
much of a positive light. I agree, because he was
because he was a slave owner. I think they definitely
worry me with the touch at him with with the Confederate. Yeah,
with the Confederates. If they don't show them as essentially
you know, Nazis in blue and gray uniforms, I think
(12:08):
they worry about that. I mean, this is getting into
the mindset of the people who think about American history
and what they've been taught in school. I do think
this starts to become part of it. And that's again
symptomatic of broader of a broader decline of love and
respect for this country and its history that has become
(12:28):
far too widespread in the culture.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And I will say the HBO World War Two Band
of Brothers, that that that whole universe of movies, I
don't know that they would make those now. That that
that show series incredible, right, I mean that was not
diverse enough, not diverse enough. I don't know if they
make it now. I don't know if they would make
(12:51):
I don't know if HBO would make a super pro
America story like that, because to your point, most of
the World War Two soldiers were white guys, and there's
too much too much white guys in that. You know
that maybe they would put make George Patton Asian. I
don't know, in order to try to have a a
large but race doesn't matter. So we're just gonna have
(13:12):
World War Two now played by the diverse characters. I question,
and if that is true, right, if we are correct,
what does it say about our society that we have
created that is afraid to celebrate our history because of
who that would require them to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Look at how far we've come from the statue iconic
clasm spasm that we suffered under the BLM riots era,
remember that. Oh yeah, and it started, It started with
Confederate statues, and then all of a sudden, it was
like Gandhi and Churchill and people that actually, yeah, yeah,
(13:56):
so this is a real, real thing. That is I
think we're in a position now to finally do something,
and I think people, the mindset of the American people,
the ethos of American culture has gone to a point
now where this can finally change. And this is why
I brought up for I think this is the first time,
really it feels this way in fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, I mean, they tried to redefine the founding of
America and you'll probably hear some of this to the
sixteen nineteen project instead of seventeen seventy six, right, and
anybody who has any sort of historical knowledge at all
talked about how ludicrous that was. We'll talk more about this,
because I do think it's important in the culture, but
in the meantime, American ranchers need your support, and that's
(14:39):
what Good Ranchers does. We want great productive American farmers
and ranchers to be honored by the work that they
are producing. And that's why Good Ranchers picks cattle here, chicken, pigs, salmon.

and eleven and all of four of the Sweet sixteen
games we played today, four tomorrow, and then we're into
the Elite eight and the Final four. And let me
just say it, I don't want to jinx that I'm
probably jinxing it if my University of Tennessee volunteers go
to their first ever Final four, Buck, I am going
(16:53):

Speaker 1 (17:30):

been played yet. So I am a student of these games,
but I can use prize picks and successfully thanks to
Clay's expertise.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Bucks. I'm up,
bitch here on what's happening in the news today. We've
got RFK Junior running HHS, as you know, saying that
he will cut twenty thousand positions from the HHS workforce.
So that's a pretty substantial reduction there. I would be
(19:14):
very curious to know what these twenty thousand people are
supposed to do or what they have been supposedly doing. Also,
the Justice Department has proposed merging the ATF with DEA,
and there are other changes. This is all being reported
on here by the Washington Post. I think that makes
(19:37):
sense McLay. I've always been someone who didn't really agree
with the notion there should be a specific it's ATFE.
I might add everyan just called at ATF, or think
it used to be E. Maybe they cut the E
off that was for explosives, but ilcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
I think it's very strange for us to have a
(19:58):
specific federal agency that really is focused on It's not
the alcohol the tobacco, as we all know, it's the firearms.
And there are already is a FBI that can enforce
federal law as it pertains to firearms. But merging it
in with the DEA is one possibility of streamlining here.
(20:18):
But overall, I think the streamlining efforts that we are
seeing and the efficiency efforts we're seeing from the federal
government or from Trump about the federal government, how I
know why they oppose it, but I just have to
keep reminding myself that there's really no good faith reason.
I think to freak out about some of these things
(20:39):
that they're doing. The federal government is too big. Everyone
knows it's too big. And so if you're just going
to complain every time you try to make it just
a little tiny bit smaller than what it is, there's
no good faith in that criticism. That's how I see
it at this point.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Not only that, I mean the law fair is very
and highly significant. At this point. The DC Circuit Court
just ruled two to one that basically Trump can't deport
Venezuelan terrorist, Venezuelan violent predators involved in gangs, among others.
(21:18):
And the Supreme Court's going to have to step in
here because quite clearly, we have a very active district
court judiciary that has decided they have the ability to
stop Donald Trump from doing anything that they want. And
where the powers of the president begin and where the
powers of the judiciary begin is very complicated. But when
(21:43):
the Supreme Court's not weighing in, and you have, instead
of nine justices determining the ultimate scope of the law,
six hundred some odd individuals that are involved at the
district court level, that is the lowest possible level that
has emerged as the ultimate test of Trump, and we
talked about the numbers, but I do think they're pretty staggering.
(22:04):
Trump has been enjoined nationally from being able to execute
his particular policy and agenda more in the first couple
of months of this administration alone than George W. Bush
Barack Obama were for eight year terms. And I think
it just speaks to the creep of judicial authority.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You know, one thing that we've been very consistently focusing
in on so that all of you aware of it,
is the incredible reduction in illegal crossings at the border.
Huge win there, Tom Home and his team DHS. They
all deserve a lot of credit. It proves that Trump
was one serious and keeping his promise about this. At
the same time, it proves that Biden the Democrats could
(22:49):
have done this and chose not to, which makes their
betrayal of American sovereignty even more obvious. I don't know
if you could say it's even worse. I don't know
how it could beating worse than it was, but even
more obvious than it was. But something else that's been
happening in Clay is cash battel at FBI. We've had
cash on the show. We know cash he was one
of one of the picks that I think you feel
(23:12):
the same way we're most enthusiastic about. And there's a
lot of really good cabinet picks. Trump has made. A
cash battel would sort of be on my all star
team among the pros. And here he is talking about
capturing a leader of MS thirteen in Virginia. Cut three,
play it.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,
and we're going to continue to let good cops be
cops across this country. President Trump gave us the executive
decision to go after and safeguard our communities. This is
the mandate we have Right now. We have an American
dying every seven minutes from a drug overdose. That is
a national security crisis we have not seen ever before.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
We have a woman or child.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Being raped every six and a half minutes in this country.
We have a homicide twice an hour. No part of
that metric is a safe and secure America. But thanks
to the brave leadership of this administration and the folks
that you see here, we are returning our communities to safety.
As you heard, we took down this morning a top
leader of MS thirteen. That is not done easily. That
(24:16):
is done with brilliant law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And it's a shift here in the focus of law
enforcement to be able to do law enforcement that is
so important. Just like we saw with the border, where
the difference was the people in charge. Trump and his
team decided to use the powers they have to enforce
the laws at our border to stop the invasion, to
(24:42):
stop this massive influx of illegals. Now we see from
the top of the FBI, if you are on the
FBI's most wanted list, that's not just something meant to
paper the walls at the post office. They are tracking
down and arresting those serious violent and offenders. And this
is something that Cash has been doing from the very
(25:05):
beginning that he's taken office. I'm trying to remember what
the stats are off the top of my head team
pull it if you can for me. But I think
on the FBI's ten most wanted list they've pulled, they've
gotten three of them arrested already. That's nationwide, and that's
more than Biden was able to do, I think, certainly
in his last year. But you know, Cash spoke about this.
(25:26):
We'll pull that up and here is Virginia Governor Glenny Younkin.
This is cut one who is all on board with
this and showing that Yeah, when you have a state
government that wants to work with a federal government to
take national security and public safety threats off the street,
and especially if they're illegal aliens, then get them deported.
(25:49):
We can make this country safer and better for all Americans.
Play one.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
The arrest this morning was in Dale City in Prince
William County, right here in northern Virginia, one of the
best areas in America, and it was one of the
top leaders of MS thirteen living here an a llegal immigrant,
and that illegal immigrant is going to.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Go back to where he came from.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But most importantly, it's this effort that has been enabled
by the Trump administration. President Trump said, get the bad guys.
I want to thank General Bondi from the second she
assumed her position, she was here with US.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I want to thank.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Director Patel from the second he assumed his position. He
was here with US resources capabilities.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, they're doing the job and they're supporting law enforcement personally.
You know, I'm wondering if you are a current active
LEO anywhere across the country if you're a law enforcement
officer and you've already started to feel like there's a
difference in the support you're getting at the state level
or at the federal level, if you're on the federal
(26:56):
la enforcement. So I'd love to hear FEMA with the
talkback and email, call whatever you can, because I'm seeing
so much of these so much of this on the
at the top down right from the FBI Director Dan Bongino,
a law enforcement's law enforcement guy who is number two
at FBI, and they're going after these public safety threats,
(27:19):
the people who are wanted for things like child sex
and child rape, first degree murder. This is what they
are tracking down, and they're taking these people off the streets.
Remember anyone who's done that kind of stuff. First of all,
it's heinous and they should be in a cell. Second
of all, if they've done it and they're not even American,
they should be sent back to wherever they came from
(27:41):
after serving their sentence, or in the case of what
we're seeing in El Salvador, maybe somebody else lets them,
you know, maybe we let somebody else hold them for sentence,
you know, somebody we can trust, like Naib Bukeley of
El Salvador. So this is a big change. I'm wondering
if you're seeing this already. But it goes again to
(28:01):
what were the what was the Biden FBI doing? What
was the Biden FBI doing somehow? And the team pulled
this for me. Yes, three of the top ten most
wanted FBI, uh, most wanted FBI individuals. You know, criminals
at large have already It's it's not even April yet
of the first term, but they prioritized it. You know,
(28:24):
Cash Dan, the director deputy director on down everybody FBI.
They they've been told, hey, instead of showing up with
you know, battering rams to bother Roger Stone, okay because
they say that he said something that wasn't true in
some deposition that didn't matter about anything, instead of uh,
(28:45):
throwing flash bangs in the room to affect arrests on
completely non violent pro life protesters or something.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I mean, this this crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
And I can do a whole show on how they've
gone after J six individuals. As we know, something like
a third of the FBI was involved in J six
cases under Biden. A third. That's that's insane, right, we
got horrible things happen, real crimes, real crimes, not trespassing,
real crimes happening all over the country, and they're still
(29:14):
at large because the resources needed to get them are
not being focused, and they're not they do not have
the political will at the top level to do what
is necessary to take these public safety threats off the street.
This is the This is the first kind of stuff
that law enforcement should do. This is the top of
(29:35):
the list. And isn't it remarkable that instead of prioritizing
political persecution, we now have an FBI that is prioritizing
taking MS thirteen gang leaders off the streets and locking
them up. And you know they're gonna get locked up too.
This is gonna be some Oh but you know, maybe
they're maybe they're reformed or something. No, when you're talking
(29:56):
about people that are doing these heinous crimes, once they're
found guilty in a court of law, that is it.
They got to go. They got to go to prison,
or they got to go out of the country if
they're an illegal. So this is it's encouraging to see,
but I bet this is going to have effects across
the country. The fact that they are using clay, they're
using these law enforcement resources to actually go after criminals
(30:21):
and not to harass people that don't vote the way
that the regime previously, the Biden regime wanted them to
or didn't support, you know, the Biden regime, or or
not going after people that spoke out again against masks
at parent teacher meetings. This is a far more serious
dj in terms of prioritization and results already than what
(30:44):
we saw for four years of Biden.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
No doubt. And really the question is going to be
to what extent are federal judges able to handcuff the
Trump administration in being able to implement this agenda, which
we should point out is very, very popular with the
average American. I saw a data sixty six percent of
Americans believe that violent Venezuelan criminals should be deported. I
(31:11):
can't believe that a third would be opposed to it.
I think that's just the reflectively anti Trump perspective. But
the idea that federal judges think they can make airplanes
turn around when they're deporting violent thugs is I think
emblematic of what Trump's going to have to overcome, and
I hope the Supreme Court is prepared to step in
(31:33):
sooner rather than later, and try to give some greater
authority about the president's powers when it comes to issues
such as these. Yeah, I want us to know as
a country, does the president actually run the executive branch
or not. That's really what the Supreme Court is going
to have to tell everybody here. Is it a self sustaining,
(31:53):
self looking ice cream cone of a federal government or
is their actual will of the people through their elected
president that runs the show.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I know right now it's tough, Clay. You know, Trump's
doing a lot of great stuff, but these judges are
coming at him with all kinds of things, and they
know that they win even if they lose, because if
they can keep doing this, they slow him down. It's stalling.
It's running out the clock. You know, it's taking the
you know, the soccer ball into the corner and just
(32:26):
standing on it. I mean, they just don't want him
to be able to do what he needs to get done. Look,
you'd be amazed at what twenty eight dollars can accomplish
when you donate it to the right cause. Put that
amount of money aside, and please consider a donation to
Preborn and their network of clinics. Nationwide. You could be
helping the life of an unborn child come into this world.
(32:47):
For the better part of two decades now, Preborn has
welcomed pregnant women and at their clinics in an effort
to convince them that God has a better plan for
their unborn baby than what happens if they walk into
a planned parenthood clinic. Preborn operates clinics and communities across
our nation where abortion rates are the highest, and they
do that on purpose because they want to be there
on the front lines for moms with the crisis pregnancy
(33:09):
who are deciding between life or abortion for their child.
The resources and services they offer, including an ultrasound to
meet their unborn baby, so often and the statistics and
all the data proves this means the choice of life
is much much higher that ultrasound experience is such a
game changer. In twenty years, Preborn has saved three hundred
thousand plus lives to date doing it this way, they
(33:33):
know what they're doing. They're saving lives, They're helping families
come into this world. It's a beautiful thing. Please consider
making a donation today to Preborn. Your gift will provide
for that ultrasound twenty eight dollars. That's it. Just twenty
eight dollars is the cost of an ultrasound. Now, if
you can twenty eight dollars a month, you can set
it up so you're just donating every month. Think about that,
every month you could be saving another baby month after month.
(33:55):
You can set it up so that's your donation. If
you only want to do it one time, I understand
times are tight. Whatever you can spare, please go to
preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn dot com slash

with your phone, dial pound two five zero and say
the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby

Speaker 2 (34:17):
You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane. We
claim your sanity with Clay and fucking find them on
the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. We got a bunch
of people who want to give feedback via the iheartrap app.
(34:41):
A lot of you out there diving in and sharing
these on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Can we do ff here, Clay, this one's funny. He's
a listener from Omaha on KFAB. He gave us a talkback,
didn't give his name. This is ff play it, hey,
Clay Buck. I've laughed many times on your show.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
But when Bucks that he could sharp and parmesan his abs,
oh my gosh, I laughed out loud.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
That was funny.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I'm gonna use that one hey man. Thank you for listening.
Glad we gave you a laugh, and feel free to
take that one and run with it. Man. Anytime you
want a great parmesan on your abs, you go for it.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Uh, Phoenix, that was, by the way, in response to
people telling you that you were looking like Missus doubtfire,
so you had.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
To get Thank you for reminding everyone, Clay. Thank you
for the reminder of that one.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yes, Phoenix, Well, I didn't just wanted to seem like
you were bragging out of nowhere on how great your
abs were.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
That Well, no, I don't actually have abs either, but
I'm just saying like I'm working on it now. But yes, no,
I'm just missus doutfire people.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Who are just people. Buck is just bragging on his abs.
It was you were saying you're working back from the
miss Stout fire insult.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Have you had something? When was the last time someone
said something so mean to you but it was so
funny that you didn't care how mean it was.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, I've been married twenty years. Wow, I'm I'm trying
to think about that. I don't read that much of
the comments, and you guys actually are really really funny
in the comments now. Uh so I've been pressed overall
at the humor. I think AI has helped the humor
of the U of the Clays.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Everybody has the opportunity to be a political cartoonist now,
essentially without being able to draw. It's kind of amazing
when you.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Think about it. It is incredible talk back gg do
we have time for this? I haven't even heard it.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
One of the best revolutionary war series on TV is
the one called turn Back from twenty fifteen, showing the
espionage that Washington used to fight in the war the Revolution.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
I'm not familiar you know this, but I saw one
episode of it, but I'd go back and finish that
one off. I'll see if carries carries down for that one.
So thank you for the wreck. More coming up here,
All right, second hour Clay and Buck kicks off now.
Thank you for being here, everybody, appreciate all of you.
We're getting great talkbacks in. We're going through them. We're
gonna play some this hour for sure. Also light up
those lines. Those of you who like the live call,
see we are a multi platform here, my friends. The
iHeart app fantastic. Make sure you have that app on
(00:20):
your phone. You don't download it, it's free. I use
it all the time personally. I used to listen to
radio stations. I use listening to their podcast. But you
can use the talkback feature on the Clay in Buck
page and we really enjoy it. It's great. And if
you don't make it on air with the just know
that we do hear it. So those of you who
write in to say that Clay looks incredibly handsome in
(00:40):
the flute playing shirtless AI stuff online, he sees that
we just don't always get to play those talkbacks on
the air, so he's very Clay was not mad about
the shirtless flute playing with Sydney Sweeney that was popping
up online yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Thanks, I would have made a billion dollars, would have
made a billion. I'm just trying to give gifts to
the people out here. Bob Igers should be listening to
the show. He'd be a stock price to be doing
a lot better. I do think Clay, we're at the
point where we need to start having a conversation and
and pulling this together with the contacts that we have,
and I would just want to work, you know, work
on this.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You're I I think your idea about Undaunted Courage. I mean,
you'd have to get the rights to use the name
in that book, but the story, the historical story of
Lewis and Clark would be an incredible, incredible series. And
I just see, I see, I see what Taylor Sheridan
is doing and what he's tapping into. And I respect that.
(01:38):
You know, he's he's going. He's earned what he's gotten
in terms of he is running with stuff that is
more you know, about entertainment and about America and stuff
that I think some of it could be. I think
he's a little overwhelmed with making too many things at once,
and some of the stuff's been a little slap dash,
But overall, he's incredibly Guy's worth tons of mone now
(02:00):
because of this. But I think that getting a series
done on Lois and Clark expedition would be something to consider. Man,
you know, there's there's ways to get this stuff done
out there now and to and to raise the money
and to bring people into do it appropriately. And I
just think it would be fantastic and people really appreciate.
Look at the the podcast, like the Bible in a year,
I mean, look at the things that are It's always
(02:22):
a shock, a shock success when you go with traditional
great stories, and especially if you go with either traditional
Biblical you know, Judeo Christian, or you go with traditional Americana. Yeah,
the American market tents to like that stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Also. The stories are incredible, right, I mean the American
history stories that haven't been told Lewis and Clark is
a no brainer. I mean, if you read Undawned Courage,
but you gave me, was it the the ernest Shackleton stories?
I mean, the Great Explorer stories? How have there not been?
(03:04):
And I know it's because they're worried about oh, colonialism.
Let me just say this clip it, share it, right,
have it echo throughout the entire world. Western civilization is
a good thing, and almost every country that was ever
colonized is in a better position today than it would
have been if the colonization had never happened. I don't
(03:26):
know why people aren't willing to say this, but Western
civilization is the reason why we are not all living,
to a large extent still in caves. Right. You find
the best things that are created in the world, and
you bring them to as many people as possible. I
love reading about the explorers because of the risks that
(03:47):
they took buck, but some of the stuff that they
were risking for still blow my mind. Spices, you know,
we don't even think about the value both for most
of us. I know some of your probably spice stars.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Salt was a tremendously valuable resalt, like what we just
sort of assume is going to be on every table
at every restaurant, and we buy by the pound for
like a dollar. The word salary comes from the Roman
for salt, because they would pay the army in pouches
of salt sometimes instead of in coin.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The most spices think about this. The entire to a
large extent, exploring world was developed and explored in the
pursuit of spices and these magical spice islands. I mean,
I encourage you if you are interested at all in
the world of exploration, that era, that fourteen hundreds, fifteen hundred,
(04:41):
sixteen hundreds, Magellan, certainly Columbus discovering the New World, all
of that era is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I mean, and there would be a credit about it.
People have talked about and I've thought this too. Cortez
would be an amazing TV series, probably the most unb
believable military conquest against the odds and all history when
you when you actually look at it and think about
what happened here to take over for five hundred men,
give or take a few hundred men, to take over
(05:10):
an empire with millions, literally millions of people. Other way,
it's a salary. It's actually that they would give them
some coin to buy the salt which they needed. But
salary comes from, you know, from the root word salt
to the antient rome. I just want to make sure I
know the uh, you know, Clay, The pronunciation police are rough,
but the word derivation police are even They don't they
(05:32):
don't play any games in the oh Man also nerdier.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Even then the pronunciation police, the word derivation police are
even nerdier. But your point, just using history where you
don't have to pay, to a large extent, very much
for copyright or ip because the stories are in the
public domain. It is incredible to me the stories that
are not being told that would actually be very ennobling
(06:00):
for larger humanity, just in my stories.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I was sitting there with my dad last night trying
to figure out he's visiting down here in South South Florida,
and you know, we're sitting there and we're trying to
figure out what we're gonna watch, and we're just going
through Netflix and he's, you know, he's like me, but
with silver hair. It's funny. The people here that were
letting him in the at the front desk, they're like,
they didn't even call up, Like, yeah, I knew it's
(06:23):
your dad. I just look at him. He looks like you,
but with gray hair. I'm like yeah, so, but we're
looking and he's like, trash, trash, trash on Netflix. And
he's right, it's just trash that they're all these like
he's not being a grouch. He's correct, it's just trash
shows one after another that are made. And there are
so many stories that are on top. I mean, I
think the Barbary Pirates, if you did that well, would
(06:44):
be awesome people learn about about you know, Stephen Decatur
and the raid and all these amazing things. There's so
many great stories and there are things that people would
want to see and that would inspire and that would
teach history to do all this cool stuff. So I
just have that's part of it. I think every you
know we're in, I guess the entertainment business, right. I
mean it's media, it's news, but it's the entertainment business.
(07:06):
And when I see people who have the resources at
their disposal to inspire and entertain millions and millions of Americans,
and they just completely mess the whole thing up, like
what we're seeing with And it's not just one movie, right,
it's over and over again, but it's no why it's
just the most recent example of it's it's inexcusable to me.
(07:30):
It's like, who are these people and why are they
so bad at this?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah? And I think part of it is to your point.
I love when you pointed out that there's a black
female Viking in the Viking story. Some parts of history
are not going to be that diverse because for large
parts of history there were not great diversity in many countries, right,
like Japan looked like Japan in the United States in
(07:56):
the early days of the United States looked like the
United States. Certainly England did, Sweden did. There is a
certain look that the country's had, right, most people were
culturally looked very similar. And I think one of the
reasons they won't do the stories is because they are
concerned about who the stars of the stories are. And
(08:16):
so if you do Valley Forge, for instance, which would
be can you imagine that story in the early inception
of the United States, to tell the story of George
Washington holding together the revolution, there's a lot of white
guys who are stars the falling of the country, a
lot of white guys involved. I think it's unfortunate for Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And here's another example. What's the best show or a
movie about the American Revolution?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
There are a few.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'm not saying they haven't been done, But when you
think about the richness of that period and how much
people would love you have The Patriot with mel Gibson,
which I think would be a lot of people, which
would be twenty years ago at this point, I mean,
it's a generation ago. Now, Well, this is what I
was what I was going to say, and you just
came the same conclusion. Is everything that you're going to
name essentially is from decades ago. So somehow technology and
(09:08):
the money going into the entertainment industry is more than
it has ever been. And you know, you have places
like Amazon and Netflix that can they can they can
make shows that are ten million dollars an episode, which
is what they were doing with Game of Thrones. Game
of Thrones was it was like a ten million dollar
episode series. And they can do that, and somehow they're
still turning out trash now, trash after trash, and it's
(09:30):
just it's, uh, it doesn't have to be this way,
and it's reflective of broader themes that we talk about
in the politics and the culture day in and day out.
This is this is you know, the America should be
the mother load of great stories and ideas and entertainment
for the whole rest of the world and specifically for
America first and foremost, and we've lost some of that.
(09:51):
And I think it's starting to turn and maybe gonna
come back.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I don't know if there will be things set up.
Next year is the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
America declaring independence and should that should be twenty twenty six,
seventeen seventy six to twenty twenty six, that should be
a time. To your argument, Buck, where there are a
(10:16):
lot of pro America American history stories, are they being
made right now? I don't know, you know, because the
truth of the matter is there's a multi year lag
from hey idea to inception, to the taping, to the
to the evolution to it reaching the audience. I hope
that you are going to see some of those things.
(10:38):
I'm very skeptical and to your point, there's never been
more money being spent on content, and yet if you
think about something that was really well done that has
to do with American history. I mean, here's a good question.
What was the last really good, well made American history story?
You mentioned the Patriot. I think some people would say, okay,
(10:59):
the Patriot that was two thousand and four, two thousand
and five.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Probably the HBO John Adams series was good. But you know,
we're thinking about from that period, right, that was good.
I don't think Paul Giamatti would have been my first choice,
but whatever he's you know, people are like, oh, but
GIAMMANI okay, he's a good actor. I think it was solid.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, but they just haven't. I mean, there hasn't been anything.
They're afraid to make anything having to do with Civil War,
right like, if it has a Confederate flag in it,
you can't.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Well, I think I think you're touching on I think
you're touching on this again. I think that or rather,
you're going to the next part of our conversation right away,
which is I think that they would worry about showing people.
I think that there are a lot of those who
are in the creative side of things and work at
Netflix and work at Amazon, and you know those are
that's really the new movie studio. Just to be clear,
it's it's it's Apple, it's Amazon, it's Netflix, because they
(11:48):
can write any check they want for whatever content they want.
I think they're worried about showing George Washington in too
much of a positive light. I agree, because he was
because he was a slave owner. I think they definitely
worry me with the touch at him with with the Confederate. Yeah,
with the Confederates. If they don't show them as essentially
you know, Nazis in blue and gray uniforms, I think
(12:08):
they worry about that. I mean, this is getting into
the mindset of the people who think about American history
and what they've been taught in school. I do think
this starts to become part of it. And that's again
symptomatic of broader of a broader decline of love and
respect for this country and its history that has become
(12:28):
far too widespread in the culture.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And I will say the HBO World War Two Band
of Brothers, that that that whole universe of movies, I
don't know that they would make those now. That that
that show series incredible, right, I mean that was not
diverse enough, not diverse enough. I don't know if they
make it now. I don't know if they would make
(12:51):
I don't know if HBO would make a super pro
America story like that, because to your point, most of
the World War Two soldiers were white guys, and there's
too much too much white guys in that. You know
that maybe they would put make George Patton Asian. I
don't know, in order to try to have a a
large but race doesn't matter. So we're just gonna have
(13:12):
World War Two now played by the diverse characters. I question,
and if that is true, right, if we are correct,
what does it say about our society that we have
created that is afraid to celebrate our history because of
who that would require them to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Look at how far we've come from the statue iconic
clasm spasm that we suffered under the BLM riots era,
remember that. Oh yeah, and it started, It started with
Confederate statues, and then all of a sudden, it was
like Gandhi and Churchill and people that actually, yeah, yeah,
(13:56):
so this is a real, real thing. That is I
think we're in a position now to finally do something,
and I think people, the mindset of the American people,
the ethos of American culture has gone to a point
now where this can finally change. And this is why
I brought up for I think this is the first time,
really it feels this way in fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, I mean, they tried to redefine the founding of
America and you'll probably hear some of this to the
sixteen nineteen project instead of seventeen seventy six, right, and
anybody who has any sort of historical knowledge at all
talked about how ludicrous that was. We'll talk more about this,
because I do think it's important in the culture, but
in the meantime, American ranchers need your support, and that's
(14:39):
what Good Ranchers does. We want great productive American farmers

I'm learning so much from being a part of this
as well, because, for example, I wanted to just get
one game ahead of Clay in the March Madness brackets,
and Clay had to remind me that the games haven't
been played yet. So I am a student of these games,
but I can use prize picks and successfully thanks to
Clay's expertise.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Buck asked how the tournament was going, and I said, well,
they haven't played any games since Sunday, but they're returning tonight.
All right, here is a nearly four to one payout.
You get Flag right now, more than one half point.
You have to have that in by nine pm Eastern tonight.
Ty Reese Proctor from Duke more than eleven and a
half points, Mark Sears from Alabama more than one and
(18:12):
a half threes, and Johnny Broom from Auburn more than
twenty four and a half points and rebounds. This is
an additional pick different than the one we gave you
the other day that pays out at nearly four to one.
You go to prizepicks dot com code Clay, you get
fifty dollars when you play five dollars. You can play
in Bucks, Florida, you can play in Georgia, you can
(18:34):
play in California, you can play in Texas. Forty states,
thirteen million people playing. Trust me, it's easy to use.
You're gonna love it. Prize picks dot com code Clay.
Get signed up today and have a little bit of
fun at prizepicks dot com code Clay.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Bucks. I'm up,
bitch here on what's happening in the news today. We've
got RFK Junior running HHS, as you know, saying that
he will cut twenty thousand positions from the HHS workforce.
So that's a pretty substantial reduction there. I would be
(19:14):
very curious to know what these twenty thousand people are
supposed to do or what they have been supposedly doing. Also,
the Justice Department has proposed merging the ATF with DEA,
and there are other changes. This is all being reported
on here by the Washington Post. I think that makes
(19:37):
sense McLay. I've always been someone who didn't really agree
with the notion there should be a specific it's ATFE.
I might add everyan just called at ATF, or think
it used to be E. Maybe they cut the E
off that was for explosives, but ilcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
I think it's very strange for us to have a
(19:58):
specific federal agency that really is focused on It's not
the alcohol the tobacco, as we all know, it's the firearms.
And there are already is a FBI that can enforce
federal law as it pertains to firearms. But merging it
in with the DEA is one possibility of streamlining here.
(20:18):
But overall, I think the streamlining efforts that we are
seeing and the efficiency efforts we're seeing from the federal
government or from Trump about the federal government, how I
know why they oppose it, but I just have to
keep reminding myself that there's really no good faith reason.
I think to freak out about some of these things
(20:39):
that they're doing. The federal government is too big. Everyone
knows it's too big. And so if you're just going
to complain every time you try to make it just
a little tiny bit smaller than what it is, there's
no good faith in that criticism. That's how I see
it at this point.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Not only that, I mean the law fair is very
and highly significant. At this point. The DC Circuit Court
just ruled two to one that basically Trump can't deport
Venezuelan terrorist, Venezuelan violent predators involved in gangs, among others.
(21:18):
And the Supreme Court's going to have to step in
here because quite clearly, we have a very active district
court judiciary that has decided they have the ability to
stop Donald Trump from doing anything that they want. And
where the powers of the president begin and where the
powers of the judiciary begin is very complicated. But when
(21:43):
the Supreme Court's not weighing in, and you have, instead
of nine justices determining the ultimate scope of the law,
six hundred some odd individuals that are involved at the
district court level, that is the lowest possible level that
has emerged as the ultimate test of Trump, and we
talked about the numbers, but I do think they're pretty staggering.
(22:04):
Trump has been enjoined nationally from being able to execute
his particular policy and agenda more in the first couple
of months of this administration alone than George W. Bush
Barack Obama were for eight year terms. And I think
it just speaks to the creep of judicial authority.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You know, one thing that we've been very consistently focusing
in on so that all of you aware of it,
is the incredible reduction in illegal crossings at the border.
Huge win there, Tom Home and his team DHS. They
all deserve a lot of credit. It proves that Trump
was one serious and keeping his promise about this. At
the same time, it proves that Biden the Democrats could
(22:49):
have done this and chose not to, which makes their
betrayal of American sovereignty even more obvious. I don't know
if you could say it's even worse. I don't know
how it could beating worse than it was, but even
more obvious than it was. But something else that's been
happening in Clay is cash battel at FBI. We've had
cash on the show. We know cash he was one
of one of the picks that I think you feel
(23:12):
the same way we're most enthusiastic about. And there's a
lot of really good cabinet picks. Trump has made. A
cash battel would sort of be on my all star
team among the pros. And here he is talking about
capturing a leader of MS thirteen in Virginia. Cut three,
play it.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,
and we're going to continue to let good cops be
cops across this country. President Trump gave us the executive
decision to go after and safeguard our communities. This is
the mandate we have Right now. We have an American
dying every seven minutes from a drug overdose. That is
a national security crisis we have not seen ever before.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
We have a woman or child.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Being raped every six and a half minutes in this country.
We have a homicide twice an hour. No part of
that metric is a safe and secure America. But thanks
to the brave leadership of this administration and the folks
that you see here, we are returning our communities to safety.
As you heard, we took down this morning a top
leader of MS thirteen. That is not done easily. That
(24:16):
is done with brilliant law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And it's a shift here in the focus of law
enforcement to be able to do law enforcement that is
so important. Just like we saw with the border, where
the difference was the people in charge. Trump and his
team decided to use the powers they have to enforce
the laws at our border to stop the invasion, to
(24:42):
stop this massive influx of illegals. Now we see from
the top of the FBI, if you are on the
FBI's most wanted list, that's not just something meant to
paper the walls at the post office. They are tracking
down and arresting those serious violent and offenders. And this
is something that Cash has been doing from the very
(25:05):
beginning that he's taken office. I'm trying to remember what
the stats are off the top of my head team
pull it if you can for me. But I think
on the FBI's ten most wanted list they've pulled, they've
gotten three of them arrested already. That's nationwide, and that's
more than Biden was able to do, I think, certainly
in his last year. But you know, Cash spoke about this.
(25:26):
We'll pull that up and here is Virginia Governor Glenny Younkin.
This is cut one who is all on board with
this and showing that Yeah, when you have a state
government that wants to work with a federal government to
take national security and public safety threats off the street,
and especially if they're illegal aliens, then get them deported.
(25:49):
We can make this country safer and better for all Americans.
Play one.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
The arrest this morning was in Dale City in Prince
William County, right here in northern Virginia, one of the
best areas in America, and it was one of the
top leaders of MS thirteen living here an a llegal immigrant,
and that illegal immigrant is going to.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Go back to where he came from.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But most importantly, it's this effort that has been enabled
by the Trump administration. President Trump said, get the bad guys.
I want to thank General Bondi from the second she
assumed her position, she was here with US.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I want to thank.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Director Patel from the second he assumed his position. He
was here with US resources capabilities.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, they're doing the job and they're supporting law enforcement personally.
You know, I'm wondering if you are a current active
LEO anywhere across the country if you're a law enforcement
officer and you've already started to feel like there's a
difference in the support you're getting at the state level
or at the federal level, if you're on the federal
(26:56):
la enforcement. So I'd love to hear FEMA with the
talkback and email, call whatever you can, because I'm seeing
so much of these so much of this on the
at the top down right from the FBI Director Dan Bongino,
a law enforcement's law enforcement guy who is number two
at FBI, and they're going after these public safety threats,
(27:19):
the people who are wanted for things like child sex
and child rape, first degree murder. This is what they
are tracking down, and they're taking these people off the streets.
Remember anyone who's done that kind of stuff. First of all,
it's heinous and they should be in a cell. Second
of all, if they've done it and they're not even American,
they should be sent back to wherever they came from
(27:41):
after serving their sentence, or in the case of what
we're seeing in El Salvador, maybe somebody else lets them,
you know, maybe we let somebody else hold them for sentence,
you know, somebody we can trust, like Naib Bukeley of
El Salvador. So this is a big change. I'm wondering
if you're seeing this already. But it goes again to
(28:01):
what were the what was the Biden FBI doing? What
was the Biden FBI doing somehow? And the team pulled
this for me. Yes, three of the top ten most
wanted FBI, uh, most wanted FBI individuals. You know, criminals
at large have already It's it's not even April yet
of the first term, but they prioritized it. You know,
(28:24):
Cash Dan, the director deputy director on down everybody FBI.
They they've been told, hey, instead of showing up with
you know, battering rams to bother Roger Stone, okay because
they say that he said something that wasn't true in
some deposition that didn't matter about anything, instead of uh,
(28:45):
throwing flash bangs in the room to affect arrests on
completely non violent pro life protesters or something.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I mean, this this crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
And I can do a whole show on how they've
gone after J six individuals. As we know, something like
a third of the FBI was involved in J six
cases under Biden. A third. That's that's insane, right, we
got horrible things happen, real crimes, real crimes, not trespassing,
real crimes happening all over the country, and they're still
(29:14):
at large because the resources needed to get them are
not being focused, and they're not they do not have
the political will at the top level to do what
is necessary to take these public safety threats off the street.
This is the This is the first kind of stuff
that law enforcement should do. This is the top of
(29:35):
the list. And isn't it remarkable that instead of prioritizing
political persecution, we now have an FBI that is prioritizing
taking MS thirteen gang leaders off the streets and locking
them up. And you know they're gonna get locked up too.
This is gonna be some Oh but you know, maybe
they're maybe they're reformed or something. No, when you're talking
(29:56):
about people that are doing these heinous crimes, once they're
found guilty in a court of law, that is it.
They got to go. They got to go to prison,
or they got to go out of the country if
they're an illegal. So this is it's encouraging to see,
but I bet this is going to have effects across
the country. The fact that they are using clay, they're
using these law enforcement resources to actually go after criminals
(30:21):
and not to harass people that don't vote the way
that the regime previously, the Biden regime wanted them to
or didn't support, you know, the Biden regime, or or
not going after people that spoke out again against masks
at parent teacher meetings. This is a far more serious
dj in terms of prioritization and results already than what
(30:44):
we saw for four years of Biden.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
No doubt. And really the question is going to be
to what extent are federal judges able to handcuff the
Trump administration in being able to implement this agenda, which
we should point out is very, very popular with the
average American. I saw a data sixty six percent of
Americans believe that violent Venezuelan criminals should be deported. I
(31:11):
can't believe that a third would be opposed to it.
I think that's just the reflectively anti Trump perspective. But
the idea that federal judges think they can make airplanes
turn around when they're deporting violent thugs is I think
emblematic of what Trump's going to have to overcome, and
I hope the Supreme Court is prepared to step in
(31:33):
sooner rather than later, and try to give some greater
authority about the president's powers when it comes to issues
such as these. Yeah, I want us to know as
a country, does the president actually run the executive branch
or not. That's really what the Supreme Court is going
to have to tell everybody here. Is it a self sustaining,
(31:53):
self looking ice cream cone of a federal government or
is their actual will of the people through their elected
president that runs the show.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I know right now it's tough, Clay. You know, Trump's
doing a lot of great stuff, but these judges are
coming at him with all kinds of things, and they
know that they win even if they lose, because if
they can keep doing this, they slow him down. It's stalling.
It's running out the clock. You know, it's taking the
you know, the soccer ball into the corner and just
(32:26):
standing on it. I mean, they just don't want him
to be able to do what he needs to get done. Look,
you'd be amazed at what twenty eight dollars can accomplish
when you donate it to the right cause. Put that
amount of money aside, and please consider a donation to
Preborn and their network of clinics. Nationwide. You could be
helping the life of an unborn child come into this world.
(32:47):

welcomed pregnant women and at their clinics in an effort
to convince them that God has a better plan for
their unborn baby than what happens if they walk into
a planned parenthood clinic. Preborn operates clinics and communities across
our nation where abortion rates are the highest, and they
do that on purpose because they want to be there
on the front lines for moms with the crisis pregnancy
(33:09):
who are deciding between life or abortion for their child.
The resources and services they offer, including an ultrasound to
meet their unborn baby, so often and the statistics and
all the data proves this means the choice of life
is much much higher that ultrasound experience is such a
game changer. In twenty years, Preborn has saved three hundred
thousand plus lives to date doing it this way, they
(33:33):
know what they're doing. They're saving lives, They're helping families
come into this world. It's a beautiful thing. Please consider
making a donation today to Preborn. Your gift will provide
for that ultrasound twenty eight dollars. That's it. Just twenty
eight dollars is the cost of an ultrasound. Now, if
you can twenty eight dollars a month, you can set
it up so you're just donating every month. Think about that,
every month you could be saving another baby month after month.
(33:55):
You can set it up so that's your donation. If
you only want to do it one time, I understand
times are tight. Whatever you can spare, please go to

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Have you had something? When was the last time someone

funny that you didn't care how mean it was.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, I've been married twenty years. Wow, I'm I'm trying
to think about that. I don't read that much of
the comments, and you guys actually are really really funny
in the comments now. Uh so I've been pressed overall
at the humor. I think AI has helped the humor
of the U of the Clays.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Everybody has the opportunity to be a political cartoonist now,
essentially without being able to draw. It's kind of amazing
when you.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Think about it. It is incredible talk back gg do
we have time for this? I haven't even heard it.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
One of the best revolutionary war series on TV is
the one called turn Back from twenty fifteen, showing the
espionage that Washington used to fight in the war the Revolution.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
I'm not familiar you know this, but I saw one
episode of it, but I'd go back and finish that
